The consequences of choosing the wrong one aren't too serious; at worst, you'll just get beaten to death (for the snake eel).
Regardless of how the policy is ultimately implemented, Xinhua's strategic layout must begin now and be fully rolled out. In the past, when we were poor and backward, the instructors worked hard to expand Xinhua's influence. If we still can't make progress even with Qin Shan bringing a lot of resources to help, then it's not a problem of the enemy being too strong, but rather that some people in their positions haven't been doing their jobs properly.
In that case, the only option would be to go to the Northwest to mine, where at least the effects of physical labor would be immediate.
"Why were I transferred to a peripheral department?"
"This is a normal organizational transfer, don't overthink it. Just strive to serve the people, and the Party and the people will remember you."
"No, Minister, what mistake did I make?"
"There's nothing wrong with it; it's just a normal job transfer. It's not just you; there are many others like you. From now on, our publicity department needs to go to the grassroots, go among the people, and see the real world."
Just as traditional Chinese medicine cannot treat a headache by only addressing the head, any system's operation is part of an overall plan. When Xinhua's massive national machinery begins its strategic deployment, Qin Shan must ensure that every part of the country is functioning properly. To put it bluntly, when the mouth starts speaking, the brain must be online, and other organs of the body must also obey commands. Discussions can be held before a decision is made, but once a decision is made, there is no room for negotiation.
The propaganda department is the department that Xinhua needs to rectify the most, because there are too many incompetent people in it, and sometimes they even have the smell of an enemy lurking.
There aren't actually that many enemies, just a bunch of crooked people.
One undeniable reality is that, in the eyes of the vast majority of elites, the masses are merely expendable resources, necessary sacrifices to achieve their grand ideals, but they themselves cannot be sacrificed. After all, I am so outstanding; if I were to die, how would others survive? The world needs me to function.
This is the arrogance unique to the elites, and these so-called elites love to convey and instill their own views in the public.
Many opinion leaders who resemble clowns are created this way; the focus is not on what to do below, but on what they want to express.
"Back then, the teachers talked about going to the countryside to re-educate intellectuals. From an economic perspective, it was indeed about city people going to the countryside to beg for food. But from the perspective of ideological education, the teachers were very prescient. In other words, the teachers considered these two points to be equally important: one was to help people get through the current difficulties, and the other was to help them achieve fruitful results in the future."
When asked about his understanding of Qinshan, the old man replied, "Unfortunately, many people are unwilling to take the right path; they prefer to choose the path that is more comfortable for them."
"It seems that's what you think."
"Because it's really easy, just like I am right now..."
As the old man spoke, he picked up his teacup and took a sip; he was indeed very relaxed.
Qin Shan smiled and accepted the milk tea that Lexington offered him.
The decision to send people to the countryside in the new era was made amidst their lighthearted conversation.
However, Qin Shan went even further. He directly demanded that all universities relocate to the mountains, essentially sending them to the countryside. First and foremost, Tsinghua and Peking Universities in Beijing had to set an example. Furthermore, Qin Shan had already prepared a group of experts and professors who truly stood on the side of the people, ready to replace those within Tsinghua and Peking Universities if they did not change their thinking.
The official explanation is that it is an important national task and a historical decision to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. As Xinhua's top university, in an era where the people are the masters of the country, it is natural for Xinhua to grow up in a place that understands the people best. This is Xinhua's political correctness, and no one can find fault with it. Anyone who dares to do so will be dismissed.
Therefore, under Qin Shan's arrangement, the elderly man embarked on a new round of nationwide lectures, hoping that universities would support the country's policies. He said it was all for the people, and that they had not forgotten their original aspiration of "serving the people."
That was a rather pointed question, but all parties raised various difficulties, to put it bluntly, they didn't want to move.
Some difficulties are genuine, while others are simply nitpicking. But the old man knew that Qin Shan was waiting for this. Those who protested would inevitably state their reasons for protesting and why they were protesting. Then, by analyzing these opinions and suggestions, the precise replacement of personnel could begin.
You like big cities, huh? Fine, we'll give you a low-paying job in a government department. You can live a good life in the big city. The teachers and students who truly serve the people are about to embark on a new journey. If you are abandoned by the times in the future, don't say that the Party and the people didn't give you a chance.
This is yet another large-scale entrapment operation, a comprehensive cleanup of the education and propaganda sectors.
It's unlikely we'd go so far as to kill off a whole bunch of people, unless they're officials in the administrative system. At most, it's just a matter of inadequate ideological study. We can't just kill someone based on their thoughts or words, unless they have substantial evidence of treason and have caused a terrible social impact. That would be a real crime, and they would need to be punished.
Soon, the education and propaganda departments underwent a major reshuffle. The players took up new roles and began to take on the propaganda and education work for Xinhua in World No. 8. As for those who were eliminated, some were found to have problems and went straight to jail, some were sent to work planting trees in the Northwest because their accounts had money that they shouldn't have, and some were fine and stayed in the government offices.
At this moment, these people realized something terrifying: they would never be able to touch the fields of education and propaganda in their lives, and they would even have to face the issue of real-name registration when expressing their opinions online.
Yes, Xinhua has begun implementing real-name registration for internet users. Please be mindful when speaking online. The internet is not a lawless zone. Nowadays, you don't need nuclear weapons to know who you are; they have photos and your real name. At most, checking your address might require some weapons. But Xinhua's current cybersecurity is absolutely so good that hackers from all countries have nowhere to attack.
Furthermore, with players lurking in all aspects of society to keep an eye on potential moles, it's almost impossible for them to steal Xinhua's national data. After all, the local world has been developing for a longer time and is quite professional in plugging loopholes. Its advanced management system leaves enemies with nowhere to start, and even if they succeed, they will face the death penalty of Xinhua's transnational hunt.
Some reckless foreign hackers have already lost their entire families. Xinhua News Agency is taking action, and their families will surely perish. I believe that every troublemaker has very close ties with their entire clan. Let's test it out.
Later on, those who reported the hackers to the Xinhua government were their own family members and colleagues, because they did not want to be implicated in Xinhua's transnational crackdown. Xinhua also became a no-go zone for hackers in countries around the world, since Xinhua can physically delete hackers' accounts.
After dealing with a large amount of iron waste, Xinhua's political, military, educational, propaganda, and cultural fields instantly became peaceful and prosperous, which made Western countries very uncomfortable.
Section 24: A commanding lead, far ahead of the pack.
Reporting only good news and not bad news is typical propaganda.
Whether it's good or bad, this is ideal propaganda.
Specifically criticizing the enemy is a highly aggressive form of propaganda.
The ultimate form of propaganda is to lay out the good and bad of both sides and compare them.
This last propaganda model is both the easiest and the hardest to implement, because it requires the backing of state power. To put it bluntly, if your state power is insufficient, any propaganda will be a joke. Haitians can't exactly point to the mud cakes they eat and boast to Americans that they are enjoying a good life, can they? That would be a laughing stock.
Therefore, when a country begins to launch the ultimate form of propaganda, its comprehensive national strength must have risen to a rather terrifying level. Even if there are many irresponsible individuals in the propaganda apparatus, they will have to engage in slightly distorted propaganda to cover up the situation and continue to contradict the government, which may result in them facing the iron fist of the state.
Often, the arrogance of the propaganda apparatus stems from the fact that those above don't actually pay attention to these trivial matters. After all, the propaganda power of our people is still quite strong. The state only needs to grasp the general direction, and leave the rest to the lower levels to handle. In the face of the true torrent of history, these noises are merely the dying cries of the enemy.
And don't you find it incredibly enjoyable? The more frantically they smear and promote, the better Xinhua develops. This kind of self-paced, step-by-step approach, and the propaganda backlash achieved by leveraging the enemy's smear campaign, is more competitive than anything else.
The difference is that Xinhua in World No. 8 doesn't need to wait thirty years; the counterattack begins now.
The giant projection screens that have appeared in the skies over various countries have made them realize that Xinhua has mastered quite advanced propaganda technology. After all, being able to project such a high-definition 4K display screen to various countries is truly cutting-edge technology in the early days of internet development when 360P was still the norm. In any case, experts in the Western world can only explain what kind of technology was used through their own imagination and speculation.
Many Western spies came to China to gather intelligence because they had lost contact with all the Xinhua spies they had cultivated, including their families. This led to a small-scale purge within the CIA.
It's just too outrageous. How do you explain the complete annihilation of those spies? There must have been a mole within the organization!
Indeed, there are historical examples of this. The other side also died because of betrayal by an internal traitor. However, Xinhua has already completed a comprehensive purge of its internal traitors, so now it's up to the US government to have its own wild speculations.
Faced with the complete inability to mount a reciprocal countermeasure, and with Xinhua possessing overwhelming conventional military power and even more powerful nuclear weapons, the voices of the Western world immediately became softer and more subdued.
They wanted to sign a "Declaration of Non-Aggression in the Field of Propaganda" with Xinhua, but Xinhua flatly refused.
"Propaganda is our business, it has nothing to do with you. If you keep talking nonsense, we'll broadcast the truth about your country to your people every day. Want to try it?"
No, you can't!
Western countries were dumbfounded. Was this still the same Xinhua that often reflected on itself, gentle, kind, respectful, frugal, and modest? Was this still the Xinhua that could take advantage of others at will? Wait, when their teachers were still around, we really couldn't gain any advantage.
Who the hell knew there was another sun behind the sun? Xinhua, what's with this double sun overhead? Don't you know this kind of pattern is dangerous? Two suns can kill people. How can you be so inhumane?
But Xinhua has long seen through the true colors of the Western world. To put it bluntly, when those people are no match for you, they hope to restrict you through various so-called rules and order. But when they are able to rise above you, they start to bully you in all sorts of ways. Since that's the case, why should I hold back when discussing issues with you? Let me show you our precious treasure before the meeting. It will help both sides deepen their understanding of each other.
Judging from the current situation, the response has been enthusiastic, even excessively so.
Player Li Ba's attitude at the United Nations is becoming more and more like that of the father of all countries. As long as the US and European countries dare to fire, he dares to retaliate in the most humiliating way. As for the fact that the UN headquarters is in New York, it is not important at all. If anyone wants to kill me, then the Han envoy is in trouble. You better pray that your country is not so tough when facing Xinhua's retaliation.
With technology at the expense of others, the Western world has become hesitant and timid in many actions, and many things have gone from uncontrollable to even more uncontrollable, such as the Yugoslavian issue.
This country followed the Soviet Union, but Yugoslavia didn't just disappear overnight. It consisted of six countries: Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina (a long name, but actually one country), Montenegro, and Macedonia. Its full name at the time was the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (as the name suggests, this country wouldn't last long).
After the breakup of Yugoslavia, Serbia and Montenegro formed the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, also known as the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
So where was Kosovo during the Kosovo War?
Dear friend, that's an autonomous province of Serbia. Although it declared independence after the Kosovo War and was recognized by the United States and other Western countries, Kosovo's independence is not recognized internationally. In fact, nine countries withdrew their documents recognizing Kosovo's independence. In general, in the history of the world, thanks to the support of the United States, Kosovo exists in a state of being independent but not truly independent within Serbia, and is still nominally under Serbian jurisdiction.
Of course, with the decline of the United States, Kosovo will eventually meet the same fate as those countries that the United States forcibly created, ushering in the final chapter they least want to see. This is their destined fate.
In World Eight, history has not yet turned a new page, and the future of Yugoslavia remains uncertain.
However, please note that the United States' goal was never to dismantle Yugoslavia, but to suppress the European Union.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, it wasn't just the United States that benefited and quickly reached its peak; the European Union, then known as the European Union (established on November 1, 1993), also benefited. This greatly displeased the United States.
How could my allies and underlings surpass me? So they started to create all sorts of obstacles for the EU.
One of the biggest obstacles, and the most effective one, is the Kosovo War. After all, capital prefers safe places. Now that a war has broken out around Europe, especially in a historically explosive place like the Balkans, what do you think European capital will think? They'll definitely be looking to benefit from America's policies!
At that time, Xinhua had not yet risen to prominence and did not possess any effective deterrent power to contain the United States. It could only endure it. Through the Kosovo War, the United States not only defeated the European Union but also suppressed Xinhua, and was riding high.
But this kind of overt bullying is the easiest to provoke a backlash. Look at Serbia's attitude after the rise of Xinhua. It was a matter of national and personal hatred. It's not that they won't take revenge, it's just that the time hasn't come yet. When the time comes, they will take revenge for everything.
In the US's plans, continuing to dismantle Yugoslavia was merely a minor, peripheral issue. It only escalated into a major problem with the rise of the EU. However, the US can no longer afford to dismantle Yugoslavia. The reason is very simple: China is now dominating the US in every aspect. Regardless of the methods used or the reasons for this dominance, the strategic disadvantage is obvious. If Europe descends into chaos, where will capital flow?
Yes, yes, some capital will still flow to the United States, but Xinhua is also a good option.
Especially after Xinhua's newly formed propaganda department began to exert its strength, it became a sharp weapon both internally and externally. It was not afraid of offending anyone and dared to say anything. Even the Spring Festival Gala was filmed with great fighting spirit, transforming from a weakling into a Super Saiyan.
This change was so terrifying that the Western world needed a period of adjustment, and during this period, Xinhua's reactions were always a step behind.
At this point, the only thing limiting Xinhua's cultural output was the gap between advanced propaganda ideas and backward productive forces.
It's time for smartphones to make their debut ahead of schedule, and for 5G networks to appear out of thin air, skipping all the previous technologies.
During the Spring Festival of 1995, Xinhua News Agency suddenly opened its doors again.
"In this '100 Rockets, 1000 Satellites' plan, Xinhua will launch 100 carrier rockets at once, each carrying 30 communication satellites weighing between one and three tons to form the BeiDou system network."
Section 25: It has severed the lifeblood of the Western world.
Fun fact: The US used 24 satellites when it built GPS.
Yes, only 24 satellites are needed for global navigation. Subsequent launches are not backups, but rather for supplementary use, filling in gaps and making up for deficiencies. Before the advent of BeiDou, this was the world's best positioning system and spy satellite.
You don't think that American satellites are just used for basic positioning, do you?
We've learned our lesson in this regard, such as during the Taiwan Strait exercises and the Wenchuan earthquake. The United States can truly make you understand the pain of being strangled at critical moments.
Their original intention was "You can't do without me," but for Chinese people, "This is unacceptable." Then came the familiar scenario of fighting for pride over food, until the American monopoly in the relevant field was broken and the prices became dirt cheap.
GPS was fully completed in 1994. This system fully demonstrates the technological strength of the United States. However, please note that at that time, there were not many satellites in the various levels of Earth's orbit. Many very good orbits were empty. So, Xinhua's "Hundred Arrows, Thousand Stars" plan, to put it bluntly, was to accurately complete global positioning while also seizing all the advantageous orbits. If anyone later wanted to squeeze in, they would have to face Xinhua arguing with them using international law.
What? You want to crash Xinhua's satellite down?
That's great! You wait, the space station that can cut your solar panels will be right at your satellite doorstep and cut them all off for you.
When Xinhua made the announcement, the satellite launch had already begun, catching Western countries completely off guard. No one could have imagined that the announcement was the start. They didn't even have time to retaliate and could only watch helplessly as Xinhua's 100 carrier rockets simultaneously launched into the air, entered their designated orbits, and began releasing the satellites. The whole world was stunned.
It truly is the whole world, because Xinhua's live broadcast treats everyone equally across the globe. Everyone can see the huge projection screens in the sky, spanning seven continents and four oceans. Wherever there are people, they can see the bright five-star red flag and the constantly unfolding satellite array in orbit.
Yes, that's not the satellites deploying, it's the satellite array deploying.
At this moment, the US and Western governments are thinking that if they can launch satellites like this, they can naturally launch missiles like this. Considering the intercontinental ballistic missiles that were previously completely undetectable, the China threat theory has now become a reality.
When NATO considers you a threat, you had better actually be a significant threat.
"We did it! We did it!"
"Long live Xinhua! Long live the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System!"
"Good news! Our domestic company, Xinghai, is about to launch a mobile phone with BeiDou positioning!"
"Mobile phone? What is a mobile phone?"
"It's... like being able to make phone calls... I guess so."
"Isn't that just a mobile phone?"
"It could also be a pager that can make phone calls."
Following the completion of the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System, the Starry Sea Company, formed by the players, officially debuted and launched the first-generation Starry Sea phone, which is a fully-fledged smartphone.
Yes, right from the start, it's benchmarking against the complete 5G era, because Qin Shan felt that the development speed here was simply not keeping up with the overall environment under his command. Some places were in the vast universe, while others were still in their infancy. This wouldn't do, so while ensuring that all infrastructure could keep up, it was necessary to quickly enter the information age.
At this time, various communication facilities have begun to be built across the country. These facilities look like 5G and are indeed advanced, but they only need a simple software upgrade to be compatible with 6G and enter the era of full intelligence.
Apple's iPhones didn't appear until 2007. Of course, the first smartphones were born much earlier, in 1994 with IBM's Simon. Unfortunately, they chose the wrong time, creating this thing at the wrong time.
Back then, pagers and mobile phones dominated the market, but who could have imagined that just a few years later, these two devices would be gone from the mainstream forever, and smartphones would completely unify everyone's needs and aesthetics? Although many people complain that smartphones lack innovative designs, in practice, a larger screen is definitely better.
Sure enough, everyone likes the big (v)r.
"With this phone, we will ignite the sea of stars and take the lead!"
At the product launch event of Xinghai Company, players were making fun of memes while showcasing the powerful performance of the Xinghai 1 mobile phone.
This press conference was not just a simple press conference, but also a technology demonstration. Players piled up a lot of cutting-edge technologies here, such as 3D projection, artificial intelligence, and various robots interacting with people coming and going. From the inside out, it was a scene that could only appear in science fiction novels. This building, or more accurately, this Starsea Company building complex covering more than 1,000 square kilometers of battlefield, has become the largest landmark building complex in Northeast China and is also known as the "Northeast Future City".
The reason for choosing Northeast China, and specifically Shenyang, is to revitalize the Northeast; this is part of the plan.
Along with the future city, a series of domed cities are also being built. These huge domes are opened and closed using controlled nuclear fusion power, which can create a comfortable environment that is warm in winter and cool in summer within a certain range. This directly solves the problem of outdoor construction in Northeast China being carried out for three months and resting for most of the year.
With the eight-hour workday and the people's trade union system now fully implemented, if the workers themselves still don't understand the importance of sticking together and fighting as a people after experiencing mass layoffs, and don't pick up their old ideas again, then Qin Shan has nothing to say.
If you're given a chance, you have to make the most of it! Rights and dignity are earned through constant struggle. If you keep begging for a benevolent official to descend from the heavens, even Qin Shan would have to pity your misfortune and be angry at your lack of ambition.
With the advent of the Xinghai smartphone, the next step is the much-anticipated rollout of the industrial chain. Xinhua announced that its 1nm chip production line has officially commenced operations and will phase out this outdated capacity in ten years, as a more powerful quantum chip is already under development and is expected to be deployed in ten years.
This has truly enraged the United States. With chips, satellites, and high technology, Xinhua is trying to destroy our very foundation!
But what good will knowing this do? Xinhua is not the Xinhua that, due to its weak military strength, has been forced to make concessions to the United States on many issues during its development. Rather, it is the Xinhua that possesses eighteen supercarriers and corresponding carrier battle groups, and is a Xinhua with a global ballistic missile strike capability at the TO level.
Furthermore, Xinhua has displayed a tough stance in various diplomatic settings that the Americans can fully understand, giving the impression that it is ready to fight the United States at the slightest provocation. Haven't you noticed that the US military now dares not approach the waters and airspace surrounding Xinhua? If it does, it will be shot down immediately.
Even in the United States, the Blackbird has already been shot down twice. Xinhua even presented screenshots of the entire incident to the United States demanding an explanation, while the US government responded with a series of denials, seemingly embodying the spirit of "shamelessness knows no bounds."
