Chapter 675 This is a stupid move
For several days in a row, there were constant accidents caused by fog.
Although the news was suppressed, it still spread through various channels.
The kidnapping of Hanbao and Xiaomao was not a big deal, but the attack on the terrorist armed base could not be concealed.
The kidnapping of Princess Margaery was a fact that could not be concealed, but the number of deaths in the anti-terrorist forces had to be concealed as well.
But this did not stop people from speculating, and sure enough, when the evening paper came out, a piece of news broke: the mystery of Prince George's life experience!
Lei Zhen sat on the sofa and read the report carefully in the evening paper.
"Hanbao, what do you think?"
He handed over the evening paper and asked Hanbao to express his opinion.
“What an amazing operation!”
Hanbao exclaimed in admiration, because although the news appeared to question Prince George's parentage, it actually confirmed his noble lineage.
"The opponent hasn't started making things up yet. Prince George is reporting his doubts and using what he's done to mislead the public."
"Even if his opponents start to doubt his bloodline tomorrow, with this news in the background, everything they say afterwards will be useless."
"First impressions will lead to the removal of fuel from the cauldron."
He did not do as Lei Zhen said, but instead played this trick first, nipping the enemy's most deadly move in the bud.
Use public opinion to fight against public opinion. Whoever grasps the priority of the topic first will be able to seize the initiative first.
What's more, Prince George's identity is not fake and there is no problem with his bloodline.
"Stupid move." Lei Zhen spat out two words.
"Brother, how could this be a stupid move?" Han Bao asked in confusion, "Public opinion is also a form of warfare. With this report, Prince George is invincible."
Anyone who can stir up the war of public opinion between the East and the West in this era is no ordinary person.
Lei Zhen never taught Hanbao in this regard, the girl learned it all by herself.
"It will indeed make him invincible, but will his opponent be defeated? His Royal Highness's move seems to have deflected a fatal blow, but it has actually dragged him into a quagmire."
"If you don't think about the future, you'll have immediate worries. I thought he'd make a decisive move, but I didn't expect him to focus on the present. The other party is no pushover either. If you've already come out and fought like that, won't they fight you to the death?"
Lei Zhen shook his head repeatedly, feeling that Prince George was too confident.
I don’t know whether this move was his own idea or was guided by a master behind the scenes.
If it was directed by an expert, it would be very disappointing.
"There's a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. A commoner prince can't fight for much political inheritance. His opponents are all sorts of powerful political and interest groups."
"George's greatest asset is his reputation. He should leverage his reputation as a commoner prince to expand his reach, whether it's providing aid to refugees or using the Red Cross to provide aid in war zones. That's what he should do."
"Reputation needs to be repeatedly consolidated. It may seem useless, but it actually plays a huge role. Once you've established your international standing, it'll be easy to return and take back what you've lost..."
His identity as a commoner prince was still his advantage and disadvantage. He did gain some things with this reputation, but he could not get the support of major interest groups.
Even if it is temporarily stabilized, it will eventually be lost.
"Not all wars require internal pacification before external resistance. Diverting conflicts can also be effective. The wars launched by the United States are all aimed at diverting domestic conflicts."
"What George should have done was look outward, not struggle on the inside."
While commenting on George, Lei Zhen was also teaching Hanbao to analyze the matter from an external perspective.
"Brother, I understand what you mean."
"How much do you know? It doesn't matter. What's in the books is incorruptible. What they teach you is just theory, like behavioral psychology—"
Lei Zhen took his time, lit a cigarette, took a puff, and drank a cup of tea.
At this moment, he was like an old scholar. When he came to the key point, he began to pause, indicating that he wanted to listen carefully to what was next.
“Psychological behaviorism is theory, behavioral psychology is practice.”
"You can't see anyone's psychology. You can only judge from their behavior. A look, a habitual movement, a reaction, etc., these are the things that can be said about psychology."
"For example, your mother is very proficient in my psychology. With just a glance from me, she can... Do you understand?"
What he said next was a vicious move, so Lei Zhen braked in time.
But this statement is correct. Psychology focuses on behavior, and it can only be established by reversing it.
"Brother, you are really amazing."
Hanbao's eyes were sparkling and full of admiration.
“Remember, you can be clever, but never in front of smart people, or those who have experienced immense hardship but stood up again. You will be seen through immediately.”
"We can be a little silly, a little dull, but that doesn't stop us from possessing great wisdom."
"When wild dogs fight for food, they use cleverness; when dividing the cake, great wisdom is needed. Prince George can't get rid of his common man mentality. He is fighting for food with wild dogs, so this move is definitely not directed by the master behind him."
Talking freely, it seemed that all the situations were under Lei Zhen's control.
He is like a person who has stepped out of the circle and stood on the top of a mountain, overlooking the grassland where wild beasts roam frequently, and observing the animal world calmly and objectively.
"Who is the mastermind behind Prince George?" Han Bao asked curiously.
"Who else could it be other than your master?" Lei Zhen said unhappily, "Even if she wasn't directly involved, she was indirectly involved."
"Li Hongyu?"
Hanbao was surprised and didn't know how Prince George was related to Li Hongyu.
"What Li Hongyu? You should call me Master."
"The foundation of a person's life is to respect teachers and honor virtue. Even if rebellion is justified, we must uphold this foundation."
"No one wants to play with a child who beats up his parents. Because he doesn't even care about his parents, he will never be sincere to anyone."
This was probably the time when Lei Zhen was most attentive when educating Hanbao with earnest words.
Although he has a bad reputation, that was in the past. When everyone first started to climb up, they were as ruthless as a wolf, otherwise they would not be able to get to the top.
"Brother, I was wrong."
Hanbao admitted his mistake immediately, and his well-behaved appearance made people feel distressed.
"It's not that you're wrong, but you're completely on my side." Lei Zhen rubbed her head and continued, "Remember, no matter what you're dealing with, first separate yourself from it, and then make a decision based on closeness and distance, as well as interests."
That is to say, Hanbao can let him preach carefully, but if it were his two stupid apprentices, he would beat them up first.
Just as the two were chatting, the doorbell rang.
Li Hongyu has arrived.
"Master is here, I'll go get her."
Hanbao got up and ran out, and soon came back with two women.
Seeing the woman carrying a suitcase, Lei Zhen was stunned: Jiang Qi!
"Jiang Qi?"
Su Fengyi's face was full of surprise and she hurried forward.
"Hello, ma'am."
Jiang Qi greeted him honestly and tried hard to control himself from looking at Lei Zhen.
The Nancheng Reservoir in winter is her lifelong nightmare. The feeling of despair of being thrown into the ice hole repeatedly is something she never wants to experience again in her life.
She was scared by Lei Zhen!
