Chapter 2184 Asking for a guaranteed monthly ticket! ! ! !
When Benjamin heard these words, he suddenly lost all his strength and sat back in his chair.
The whole person looked extremely depressed.
It's not that the government didn't try. On the contrary, they did everything they could, such as attacking the big face, but it was useless! Fighter planes flew near the big face, but it was useless. No high-tech aiming device could really locate the big face, let alone aim at it.
In the displays of all electronic devices, the air is filled with nothingness. How can you aim at something that doesn't exist?
Even if you force the parameters to be set manually and shoot directly, it is useless. Missiles and any physical weapons pass directly through the big face, just like passing through the air, and there is no way to trigger even a ripple!
But you say that face is an illusion and poses no threat.
That's totally wrong too.
Under this huge face, all fighter pilots had strong hallucinations, and then their bodies burst into flames and turned into colorful smoke... But inside the fighter, no equipment was damaged, even the pilots' clothes were intact, but their bodies had completely disappeared...
This strange scene even caused the pilots to refuse to carry out the mission.
This situation is very rare.
Fighter pilots are the country's precious wealth. It is not easy to train a fighter pilot, and it requires a lot of time and resources.
The personal qualities of fighter pilots have a very important impact on the fighter's ability to maintain a strong combat effectiveness, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
physical fitness:
Fighter aircraft will generate huge overloads when performing high-speed maneuvers, dives, and leaps. Pilots need to have strong physical fitness to withstand these high overloads, otherwise they may become confused or even unconscious, which will affect the control of the aircraft and the execution of combat missions. For example, in centrifuge training, pilots need to quickly complete standard inhalation and ventilation under 9 times or even higher gravity, and ensure that the muscles of the whole body are strongly and powerfully coordinated and tightened.
Endurance and fatigue resistance; long-term flight missions and high-intensity combat operations require pilots to have good endurance and fatigue resistance to maintain a clear mind and stable operation to ensure that they can continue to perform tasks effectively during long-term flights.
Technical capabilities:
Flying skills: Excellent flying skills are the basic requirements for fighter pilots, including precise control of the aircraft, proficiency in various flight postures, and the ability to fly in complex weather conditions. Proficient flying skills can enable pilots to better utilize the maneuverability of fighters and improve combat effectiveness.
In addition, it is a strong mental quality!
The air combat environment is complex and changeable. Pilots need to make accurate judgments and decisions in a short period of time. This requires them to have good psychological qualities, be able to remain calm in the face of emergencies, quickly analyze the situation and take effective countermeasures. Pilots face tremendous psychological pressure when performing missions, such as the difficulty of combat missions and the danger of the flight environment. Strong stress resistance can enable pilots to maintain stable emotions and clear thinking under pressure, so as to better play the performance of fighter jets.
But now these elite fighter pilots actually refuse to board the plane and refuse to go to the battlefield!
There was no other way. An enemy that could be seen but not hit was already terrifying, but the pilots could still endure it. It was nothing more than death. As well-trained pilots, they still had some courage, but the problem was that this was not the way to die.
The death was inexplicable and extremely strange!
They don't even know how the enemy attacks them!
There is no other choice but to use ground attack methods, but the problem is still the same... I can’t hit the target!
No effect!
Then the White House sent out a squad of mutants!
But it still doesn't work!
What’s worse is that many mutants are experiencing various conditions, for example, some have gone crazy and started killing people wantonly!
Some people even experienced plots similar to those in the Cthulhu story, where they directly mutated and turned into monsters!
Now everyone was shocked.
This is just Washington. In fact, there is large-scale chaos throughout the United States and the entire earth. The Internet is in chaos and doomsday theories are spreading wildly.
For a moment, it seemed as if the end of the world was really coming!
Does Benjamin really need Kai?
of course it's true!
But he really didn't want Kai to enter Washington again unless it was absolutely necessary.
Although at the federal level, Kai's reputation is actually quite good. After all, Kai has helped the federal government clean up its messes many times.
You know, the White House has been attacked twice in these years!
twice!
Before this, the White House had only been actually captured once in American history!
At the beginning of the founding of the United States, in order to expand its territory, it once invaded Canada. At that time, Canada had not yet become independent and was still a British colony. As a result, the Americans were killed in the counterattack. In 1814, the British-Canadian coalition forces entered the capital Washington, burned the White House, and the then US president fled in a hurry. This was the only time that the White House was occupied by foreign troops. In 1814, Washington, the political heart of the United States, suffered an unprecedented disaster. The British-Canadian coalition forces entered the capital Washington, burned the White House, and the then US president fled in a hurry. This was the only historical event that the White House was occupied by foreign troops in the United States, and it is also a national humiliation that Americans still find difficult to face. The invasion of the British-Canadian coalition forces was not without warning. In the Second Anglo-American War, the US army retreated step by step, and the British army gradually gained the upper hand. However, despite the warning, the then US President Thomas Jefferson failed to take effective defensive measures. When the British-Canadian coalition forces entered Washington, the White House's guard force was almost zero, and the president had no choice but to flee in a hurry.
The original color of the White House was not white. After the fall of Washington, the British army wanted to burn down the official residence of the President of the United States, so they set the White House on fire before leaving. However, a timely rain later saved the White House. In order to cover up the traces of burning, Hepburn painted the White House inside and out with white paint, so the White House became a real "White House".
But now, it has been conquered twice in a short period of time!
Twice!
This sounds very serious, but why is there so little discussion about it in society?
This is all thanks to public opinion!
Lippmann's "Two Worlds Theory". We live in two worlds. One is the original real world, which is the real world that everyone can touch; the other is the world of public opinion constructed by communication.
The public opinion world’s reflection of the real world is often disordered, or even completely opposite to the real world.
What are the differences and even opposites between the world of public opinion and the real world?
1. The public opinion world pursues "competition for attention, the law of the jungle". The real world is constructed according to the principles of law, rights, order, etc., but the biggest principle of the public opinion world is to compete for attention.
2. The power of the public opinion world comes from "striving for recognition, the strong preying on the weak". The power of public opinion is generated by gathering, not by top-down laws and orders as in real life.
3. Victory in the world of public opinion lies in “fighting for the surface and winning by area.” The storm of public opinion does not rely on the power of the whole, but on the power gathered on the surface.
Why are the world of public opinion and the real world so different?
The author believes that it all comes down to "people". Public opinion is a reaction to the real world after being processed subjectively by people. Therefore, the rules of the public opinion world are the result of human nature.
The four major operating laws of the world of public opinion.
1. The weak have an advantage, which is the weak law of public opinion. The real world is a strong world, it is a pyramid structure, the strong are at the top of the pyramid, looking down on people; the world of public opinion is a weak world, it is an inverted pyramid, the weak have the loudest voice, and the strong are at the bottom, this is the weak law of public opinion.
2. Emotions are strong, this is the emotional law of public opinion. The world of public opinion is a world where emotions prevail over reason. Why is this so? Because in the real world where the strong are king, the strong generally like to reason. The rules of the real world are in favor of the strong, and they are more willing to use reason to maintain the order of the strong world. But in the world of public opinion, the weak are king, and emotions are the tools of the weak, which can resonate to the greatest extent, allowing the weak to be closely connected with each other to form a huge public opinion energy.
3. The lighter the better, which is the light rule of public opinion.
The world of public opinion is a world of communication that avoids the important and focuses on the trivial. What is important in real life may not be important in the world of public opinion, and vice versa. In layman's terms, light things are easiest to spread.
4. The secondary is the primary, this is the secondary theory of public opinion.
The sub-theory of public opinion tells us that the world of public opinion is a world of communication with the main and the secondary reversed. Mainstream public opinion is the least active public opinion, and sub-mainstream public opinion is the most active public opinion. Why is mainstream public opinion the least active and the least likely to spread? This starts from the root. What is mainstream public opinion? Mainstream public opinion is the form of public opinion recognized by the elite group, supported by power organizations, and accepted by the majority of people. Such mainstream public opinion is often common sense, consensus, or a "high, big and complete" image that is not controversial. There is no need to talk about common sense every day. Consensus and "high, big and complete" mean that there is nothing outstanding to attract attention, and without attention, there is no way to cause public opinion to ferment.
Why is sub-mainstream public opinion the most active? Because sub-mainstream public opinion is the closest to mainstream public opinion. It is closer to elite groups and rights organizations, and also overlaps with the consensus area of the general public. However, it is not as complete as mainstream public opinion, but has many points that can be debated. Therefore, sub-mainstream public opinion is much easier to spread than mainstream public opinion.
How is public opinion manipulated? What are the secrets to escape from the war of public opinion?
Public opinion has a life cycle. To manipulate or change public opinion, you need to seize the opportunity. First of all, the first battle of public opinion is to fight for the right to name. This is what needs to be done in the "first time window" when public opinion is in its infancy. The reason why the naming of an event can influence or even determine the spread of an event is that it defines the scope and focus of attention. In addition to the first-time battle for the right to name, public opinion also has the window period of "first reaction time". Should public opinion react in the first time? Yes. But it is limited to "reaction" rather than "response". If the above two methods do not work and public opinion still ferments, how can we get out of trouble? The author points out that public opinion has two natural enemies: one is time, and the other is another public opinion. Based on this, the author gives four escape techniques: public opinion conversion method, public opinion transfer method, public opinion dilution method and public opinion degradation method. The method of public opinion conversion is to attract the audience's attention to the new public opinion. But this depends on how big the new public opinion can be. In order to suppress the limelight of the previous public opinion, it often requires a larger public opinion.
The second way to get out of trouble is to divert public opinion. Diversion is different from conversion. Diversion refers to getting out of trouble by shifting the focus of the contradiction within the same public opinion topic.
The third way out is to dilute public opinion. In simple terms, the law does not hold everyone responsible, so everyone takes the blame and distracts attention.
The last method to deal with public opinion is to reduce public opinion - decompose harmful concerns into harmless concerns or reduce the harm. Public opinion crises often stem from harm, and harm must have victims. The first thing that can be done to reduce public opinion is to reduce the harm, especially the harm to the most direct victims.
The US government is an old hand at this.
Their response was simple. They didn't talk much about the significance of the White House being stormed. In fact, Americans rarely mention the White House being stormed, including the one a long, long time ago. In fact, many times, Americans themselves are not quite aware that their country's presidential palace has been stormed.
Even if it is mentioned, it will not be related to national hatred or family feuds... This is the subtlety of public opinion manipulation. Logically speaking, if a country's capital and presidential residence are captured, the country will remember it for a lifetime, but the problem is that reality does not require it!
After all, the Maple Leaf Country is basically a vassal state of the United States, and there is no point in emphasizing this.
So overall the whole country has downplayed the issue, and naturally the people will not be so idle as to reflect on national hatred and family feuds.
Similarly, during the two recent stormings of the White House, the government simply emphasized the president’s toughness and personal charisma, while downplaying the significance of the incident.
In short, the president gained some popularity, the terrorists were scorned, and that was it.
The entire government is working on this matter, even the rival factions are involved.
It's not that everyone is really united, but it's really about their own interests. For the hostile faction, if this matter is reported negatively, it can indeed hit Benjamin, but the problem is that the federal government's face is also thrown to the ground. Where do their interests come from?
The Federation!
The federation is worthless, and the power in their hands is worthless too. For the sake of interests, everyone will sing praises for Benjamin even if they are unhappy with him.
But it will only last for a while, any more will be a loss. After all, Benjamin is Benjamin and they are them, so now we don’t see any related discussions and just ignore them.
But Benjamin himself could not forget this. He was very grateful to Kay for saving him twice, but this also reminded him that Kay was his savior.
There is a saying that goes, "A favor is as great as an enemy!"
It's almost a similar meaning.
The more powerful Kai is, the more afraid he is!
But now... he can't bear it anymore!
