Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    General Hassan was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, "If you think about it carefully, this is indeed a very difficult problem. And if they do this, we will have almost no better countermeasures."

    "Yes, once the secret society takes over Sebayela, the situation will be extremely unfavorable for us." General Quinn could no longer sit still. He stood up and left his seat, pacing back and forth.

    Some other senior military officers also talked among themselves.

    ¡°Perhaps I have a way.¡± Actuary Maigan suddenly said.

    "Let's talk about it." Lin Rui looked at him and said.

    "We rushed to seize Sebayela before the secret society's armed forces and eliminate the terrorists there. Just like we did before." Actuary Masakishi replied.

    "But Sebayela has gathered more than 4,000 enemy troops. It may not be easy to occupy it before the secret society's armed forces.

    In my opinion, it will definitely not be completed within two or three days, and the Orumi federal army will most likely have arrived before then.

    They don¡¯t care if we are the first to launch the offensive, they will almost certainly muddy the waters.  And we have no good reason to stop them.  General Hassan shook his head.

    "Yes, it is impossible for us to capture Saibayila within three days. Since our troops are limited, there are only a few thousand people who can fight in Saibayila.

    Secondly, the next few days are indeed too short, and we are not sure that we can win Sebayela in such a short period of time.  "General Quinn also shook his head in opposition.

    "Actually, we have now occupied Saibayela." Actuary Maigan suddenly said seriously.

    "What? When did it happen?" General Quinn was surprised.

    ¡°Right now¡ªof course I¡¯m just bragging,¡± the actuary added.  The angry General Quinn sat back in his seat.

    "Don't underestimate the so-called bragging. This involves a very profound knowledge, the war of news and public opinion." Actuary Masakishi replied.

    "A war of public opinion?" General Quinn looked at him.

    Actuary Majiang nodded, "In the Iraq war, the United States and Iran used the powerful influence of the news media on public opinion to start a news and public opinion war unprecedented in the history of human wars.

    With the help of the principles of journalism and communication, the two hostile parties are fighting in the field of news and public opinion, destroying the spirit and will of the enemy's citizens. The news media has become another battlefield that is interdependent with military strikes.

    The status of news and public opinion wars in information wars has begun to become prominent.

    In the history of human war, the status and role of news and public opinion have long been recognized by people.  Napoleon once said: A newspaper is as good as a coalition army; former US President Eisenhower also said: One dollar spent on propaganda is equivalent to five dollars spent on national defense.

    With the advent of the information age and the rapid development of the mass media industry, news and public opinion have become participants and facilitators of war.

    If radio helped people understand World War II,

    TV documentaries changed Americans¡¯ views on the Vietnam War, and the Iraq War allowed people to directly participate in the process of the war through live broadcasts.

    You guys, don¡¯t underestimate this.  In fact, this is a method often used by secret societies.  This time is no exception.

    ¡°For example, before launching the operation, they launched a massive propaganda campaign, declaring that they would organize a huge counterattack.  Completely eliminate terrorist forces in Western Sahara.

    This is helping them build momentum and successfully guide public opinion.  If any of us wants to stop them now, it will appear that we are obstructing the cause of counter-terrorism in Western Sahara.  "

    "That's true. Sometimes secret societies are really good at this." General Quinn nodded.

    ¡°But nothing is absolute, we can do the opposite. They can use news to exaggerate the facts and enhance their sense of existence.

    We can also use fake news to confuse fake news with real news to successfully disrupt the other party.  "The actuary Shogan suddenly smiled.

    "What to do?" General Quinn asked quickly.

    ¡°Convene a press conference and announce that we captured Sebayela two hours ago.

    At present, there are still small-scale resistance forces in Sebayela, and the security situation is quite unstable, but most of the areas are already under our control.  "The actuary Masaki replied.

    "Isn't this nonsense?" General Quinn was stunned for a moment.  "Since when have we captured Saibaila? Are we going to say this in front of the news media?"

    "That's right. All the media, all the media we can find. All have to help meThey publicize this.  This is indeed fake news!

    But we urgently need this piece of fake news. This is a strategic need.  "The actuary Shogan said decisively.

    "I probably understand what you mean." General Hassan frowned slightly.  ¡°You are asking us to publish fake news claiming that Sebayela is under our control.

    This way, the Orumi federal troops have no reasonable reason to attack Sebayela.  Because we have publicly declared that terrorists no longer exist and have been eliminated by us.  Now it's Saibayela that we control.

    ??If they still decide to take military action against Sebayela.  That means their target is not terrorists, but us.

    When the time comes, the people the media wants to denounce will not be us, but them.  "

    "That's right." said the actuary Jiang An.  "They were the first to use public opinion warfare against us. Then we will use the same method to deal with them."

    "But a press conference was held, a large number of reporters gathered, and we did not actually occupy Sebayela, so how could it be convincing?" General Quinn shook his head.

    ¡°We will produce information, relevant videos and photos, and some timely evidence showing that Sebayela has been occupied by our side. Of course, all of this is fake.

    On the other hand, we must also strengthen our offensive and launch an attack on Saibayela.  Of course, externally, we are just wiping out the remaining terrorist forces in Sebayela.

    This can also be added to the press conference. Although Sebayela is currently under our control, the situation is extremely unstable and there are still many hidden terrorist armed forces.

    Our anti-terrorism troops are in the process of searching and clearing the entire city.

    So the press conference cannot be held there for the time being.  The safety of journalists is also taken into consideration.  "

    "Deliberate bragging is now also a tactical method?" General Quinn was helpless.

    ¡°General, if you understood ancient China¡¯s war culture, you wouldn¡¯t say such things.

    Distorting facts, deliberately exaggerating, and causing wrong perceptions and judgments to the enemy have always been part of war strategies.  "Lin Rui smiled slightly.
