Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 1490: Da Piaoliang, who is both responsible and capable (Second update, please subscribe)

"...According to the Jakarta authorities, the poisonous gas covered an area of ​​more than 30 square kilometers, in which hundreds of thousands of people lived..."

When Li Guoren was reporting, Li Yi remained silent. He just flipped through the aerial photos taken by the Air Force, from which some clues could be seen.

"Now, reporters from various countries are rushing to the area. They have already found many bodies..."

"Are you sure it was us who dropped the bomb and they didn't sabotage it themselves?"

Li Yian asked back:

"This is most likely a malicious frame-up!"

As he spoke, he cast his eyes to the Air Force Commander beside him. Facing the Excellency's question, Luke Wu fell into silence. He didn't know how to answer. After a while, he said:
"According to our target's investigation...it was indeed our people who dropped the bomb, but there is a reason for it!"

Lukewu then explained how the pilot missed the first and second targets, and then he decided to attack the third target.

"Sir, the pilot is now under investigation by the gendarmerie. If necessary, we will transfer him to a military court for trial..."

Lukewu's words were restrained. What investigation, what necessity, and what transfer would be made were all word games. In fact, they all revealed a signal - they would definitely favor their own people.

Even if he blew up a chemical plant, so what?

In war, accidental injuries are inevitable.

Before Luke Wu finished speaking, Zhang Zheyuan said:

"General Lu, I don't think the pilots should be held responsible. Any accidents can happen in war. Also, General, I think this matter is not as simple as it seems. If there were only two bombs, how could they cause a large-scale gas leak? Can I assume that they released the gas on purpose?"

What is a rogue?

Zhang Zheyuan's answer now was obviously quite rogue - we did have an explosion, but the poison gas leak was caused by you guys!
Not to mention Lu Kewu, even Li Guoren, the special agent of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, looked at Zhang Zheyuan with astonishment and couldn't help saying:

"Is this still possible?"

"Is it a chemical weapons production site, perhaps?"

Li Yian suddenly broke the silence.

He was pulled to the study while sitting at the dining table. The sudden report really shocked him, but what could he do now since it had already happened?

Send your own soldiers to military courts?

Li Yian would not do such a thing, but the impact of this incident is indeed very great. It is conceivable that this will become their weapon to attack SEA for a long time to come.

Zhang Zheyuan's suggestion made Li Yian see another possibility - chemical weapons!
That black abalone can even pull out a tube of laundry detergent at the United Nations General Assembly and talk about what chemical weapons are.

Why is it that the poison gas they produce here is not a chemical weapon when it can kill people?

"Could it be a chemical weapons leak?"

Then, Li Yian emphasized:
"After all, as we all know, all chemical plants can produce chemical weapons. We bombed that place because they were producing chemical weapons! We believe that weapons of mass destruction, including chemical weapons, are the biggest destabilizing factor for regional peace, and the facts have proved this..."

In short, there is only one thing we need to do now - tell the world that this incident happened for a reason, and all the reasons are because the Jakarta authorities are producing chemical weapons. As for the rest, it is not important.

"Yes, sir. Our bombing was to avoid a humanitarian disaster, and the leak... I think it might have been deliberately created by them!"

Politicians' mouths are full of liars. Once they have an idea, everything will be simple. All they have to do is spread the news through the European and American media they control.

"…We must seize the initiative in public opinion, control the voice in our own hands, and at least grasp the general direction…"

In fact, it is impossible to completely control public opinion in the Western world. Not to mention Li Yian, even the European and American governments of later generations cannot do it. Otherwise, the "Watergate Scandal", which is not worth mentioning, would have directly brought down Nixon, and the zipper gate almost brought down Bill. That's why there are pro-* media. You have your voice, and they have their voice.

No one can monopolize public opinion. However, one can make the voice more favorable to oneself to the greatest extent possible. Just like the last "DDT incident", although American environmental protection organizations could say that American birds are important, TV stations such as ABC could instill a basic common sense into Americans through interviews with experts and scholars - human life is more important than bird life.

In a nutshell, the wife is right when she says she is right, and the husband is right when he says he is right.

In Western countries, the purpose of controlling public opinion channels is not to control them, but to avoid being controlled. It is to have channels to speak out, rather than having all channels block you from speaking out when you speak out.

Just like now, although it is impossible to stop Jakarta from making its voice, it is possible to demonize them through some media.

"Well... tell the world that they are producing chemical weapons and have used them on civilians. We can look for some evidence. Of course, if necessary, we can also look for some evidence to see if the gas leak has anything to do with them. What if it was deliberately made?"

"Is this possible?" Li Guoren asked doubtfully;

"They are their own people!"

"Who knows?"

Sun Pengan said:
"I'll have someone investigate. Maybe this is really possible."

Soon, almost all mainstream media around the world were reporting the news.

This news is undoubtedly explosive.

SEAF bombed a chemical plant, causing a gas leak that killed and injured a large number of people...

This is simply appalling.

But both the photos and the on-site images are reminding people that this is real. For a time, there were constant accusations from both the official and the public. At the same time, many TV stations including ABC also began to output at full force, accusing the Jakarta authorities of shifting the blame, accusing them of deliberately causing the gas leak, and accusing them of manufacturing chemical weapons.

In a word, it all depends on whose voice is louder and whose communication channels are wider. In this regard, Jakarta is also powerful. After all, it has the Soviet Union behind it, and the Soviet Union's control over Western news and public opinion is well known. You know, even decades later, Hollywood and the American public opinion circles are still dominated by white leftists, and white leftists themselves developed from the left, so they have the natural advantage of comradeship.

So, both sides are there, you accuse me and I accuse you, one side accuses them of making chemical weapons and using them to kill civilians, and the other side accuses them of bombing chemical plants, causing toxic gas leaks.

No one can tell who is right, but Jakarta is undoubtedly the winner - facing a large number of casualties, especially the pressure of public opinion, the White House was the first to give in. Through a press conference, it said that it did not want to see the expansion of the war in Jakarta and hoped that Changan would exercise restraint.

"This is like being a whore and pretending to be a saint."

After hearing the news, Li Yian said with a disdainful tone:

"They don't know at all that once a war breaks out, they should win it at all costs, instead of tying their own hands and feet. It's not about having it or not having it. There is no such good thing in the world."

Throughout the Cold War, the United States did not figure out one thing - what was the purpose of the war!
The purpose of war is to win!

To win the war, no matter the cost!
"Sir, how should we respond then?"

Looking at the gentleman with disdain on his face, Li Guoren asked:
"Should I reject them or drag it out?"

"Why refuse? Negotiate with Washington and tell them that without air strikes, the war in Jakarta will continue indefinitely. Many of us may fall into a quagmire because of Washington's mistakes!"

In fact... this is exactly what Li Yian needs!

What he needed was not to fall into a "quagmire", what he needed was the name of a "quagmire", what he needed was to use a "quagmire" to avoid jumping into another quagmire - Saigon, which was the real quagmire, a quagmire that trapped Americans for almost ten years!

Compared to Jakarta, that quagmire is bottomless and one could be doomed if one is not careful.

On the other hand, Jakarta is just a quagmire in name only. Although there are only seven of the thirteen local opposition groups, these seven occupy 60% of the country's land and 50% of the population. As long as they get external assistance, they can continue to fight.

With a little air support, the opposition will gain the upper hand, and there is no need to worry about foreign aid because this is an island country - it does not border any strong or big country and there is no land aid channel.

Airborne early warning aircraft can search and track ships at sea. When necessary, a maritime blockade can be implemented with just a ban. Given the maritime strength of the Eastern European bloc, it is difficult for them to provide effective support to Jakarta.

When the time is right, we can strike hard and fundamentally disintegrate the country.

Of course, this is not important. What is more important is the war - to let the war continue in this country of thousands of islands. The continuous civil war will consume a large number of people, and the cruel and long-term civil war will also cause them to fall into fratricide, thus destroying the possibility of their future reunification.

The hatred brought by the war will make those countries hate each other. As long as they hate each other, they will not be able to tell who the real enemy is.

In fact, this is also the reason why Li Yian left it, that is, to use a slow knife to cut them apart bit by bit and make them fall into a fratricide. It is not just a simple drawing of a line on the map. If it is just a line... there is a possibility of merging again in the future.

But hatred can change everything!
Hatred can split a nation into several nations, and hatred can certainly split a country into several countries forever. All that is needed is to amplify and intensify the hatred.

It was not easy to do this in the past, but it is very easy now because television news can change everything. If people turn on the TV and see only massacres and hatred, within a few years, psychological hatred will replace everything.

"Therefore, we must clearly tell Washington that Jakarta will attract most of our attention! In this case, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to contribute to the free world in other places!"

In other words, in the future, let Washington go to the quagmire of Saigon by itself. However, now my country is the most powerful and awesome, so how can they understand Li Yian's conscience?

Not to mention them, even our own people may not understand.
