Soviet Union 1991
Text Chapter 240 Public Relations Crisis
First update
CIA Director Woolsey did not give up. When he heard President Mario ask him to come to the office to explain why the plan turned out like this, Woolsey knew that he still had a chance to make up for the losses. This was his only remedy, because Woolsey had to present another plan to President Mario's desk.
"Intercept Chinese cargo ships when they leave the Strait of Hormuz? Excuse me, Director Woolsey, do you think the current situation is not chaotic enough?" Mario rejected Woolsey's plan right away. He was already overwhelmed. He had originally agreed to deal with only Chinese cargo ships, but he did not expect to attract a Soviet fleet.
The domestic media criticized Mario's rashness, believing that it was a very unwise thing to cause a conflict in the Arabian Sea, which was very likely to lead to a worsening of the situation in the Middle East. The Republican guys also began to take the opportunity to attack his policies, believing that everything Mario did was to provoke another war, a war between two world powers. Human rights activists believed that the tragedy of the reconnaissance plane pilot crew was caused by the inappropriate behavior of the US officials.
Under such an atmosphere of public opinion, Mario naturally dared not play with fire in the Middle East, so Woolsey's policy was ignored by President Mario.
"You go down first, Director Woolsey. We will discuss the next issue later. What we need to do now is how to solve the problems of American society and public opinion. So please leave me alone for a while." Mario didn't want to see Woolsey's appearance now. He directly ordered that he didn't want to see him again, "Also, if I were you, I would definitely attack my own intelligence department. Don't you find that this incident is almost a trap designed by the Soviets waiting for us to jump into it?"
Hearing this, Woolsey suddenly felt a cold and piercing emotion strangling his throat. Woolsey turned his head stiffly and saw only Mario's equally cold eyes.
"I hope you can go back and check the recent CIA senior officials. I don't want a traitor among us." Mario said slowly. But the words he said were like a nail directly inserted into Woolsey's heart.
This time, the free American government did not indulge public opinion as before. The first to be targeted in the rectification of public opinion are those public intellectuals, especially those who came from the Soviet Union. Although these people sing praises to the United States, the hope of mankind, every day, and say that as long as America is still there, they will not stop praising the United States, no matter how disgusting it is.
The first to act were the US tax department. They found that these people had some hidden property accounts, and every once in a while, an unknown amount of money would be transferred to their accounts. The tax department, which discovered these clues, remained silent, and they did not want to alert the enemy because of this.
So the US police department began to act. The public intellectuals would also make the most common mistake made by the Russians, driving under the influence of alcohol. The police department, who were waiting for them, immediately pounced on them the moment they got into the car drunk, and arrested them in the name of driving under the influence of alcohol. However, after the arrest, they were not sent to the police station, but to the place where the CIA secretly detained prisoners.
No public intellectual who was afraid of death could survive a few rounds of interrogation by the CIA, and let these people feel the sanctions of the free world. Under the torture of water torture, the public intellectuals soon revealed the truth.
"I said, I said, it was the Soviet KGB Foreign Intelligence Service that transferred the funds to our account, and they also said that as long as I cooperated obediently, they would not touch my family. That's all I know!"
The light bulb, which was tied with only a rope, was shaking. After the lampshade was added, the light could only illuminate an oval dim area. The public intellectuals who thought they had benefited from both sides still fantasized that they could make a fortune between the United States and the Soviet Union, but they did not expect that being a fence-sitter would have a price.
"What do they want you to cooperate with?" The interrogator pinched his fingers until they made a crackling sound. He grabbed the collar of the public intellectual and threatened fiercely, "If you don't tell me, then I will break your fingers one by one."
"I'll tell you, they just want me to come to the United States to sing praises for you. The more disgusting the better. It would be best to cause a sensation in public opinion. So as to incite the people. In short, whatever the US government does is right, so as to increase the rebellious psychology of the American people."
"For example, if someone criticizes the US government, then we will find ways to attack him. And raise the image of the US government to a glorious and incomparable height. Say black is white, and say wrong is right. Everything the US government does, whether it is right or not, is just."
"So, how many of you are there?" The interrogator continued to ask.
"I don't know, we are all in single-line contact. But what is certain is that a large part of those Soviet intellectuals who applied for political asylum are KGB spies." The public intellectuals said with a sad face. He was so afraid of death that he betrayed everyone with just one sentence, regardless of whether they were spies or not.
In this way, the CIA had a general understanding of the methods of these public intellectuals. They were almost the same as the bureaucrats of the Soviet Propaganda Department before, but the Soviet government was very sinister and placed these people in the United States as hidden chess pieces. Imagine how terrible the consequences would be if these people controlled public opinion.
However, the CIA has finally achieved something. They described these public intellectuals as spies sent by the Soviet Union, with the purpose of confusing the American people. Now the CIA will launch a large-scale arrest operation to arrest all Soviet public intellectuals who are gradually gaining influence in the United States.
President Mario agreed to this action without hesitation, which undoubtedly provided a very critical impact for the United States to divert the attention of the domestic people. Those Russians who were still in pajamas were directly arrested by CIA agents who broke into the house on the pretext of suspecting them of spies.
"Let me go, I am an American citizen, you have no right to arrest me, this is a free country, not the dictatorial Soviet Union!" Some public intellectuals still wanted to break free from the police's arrest, but they were immediately beaten with sticks by the police of the free country, and they could not stand up. Then the police clamped the arms of these people like holding a dead dog and pulled them into the police car.
No one would petition for these public intellectuals when they were arrested. Firstly, they usually praised the United States, which led to a considerable number of people expressing disgust for them. Secondly, how could the white American society help a Russian immigrant?
The US government naturally wrote a lot in the media, describing these people as evil Soviet KGB spies and terrible enemies who disrupted the social order of the United States. The US government stated that it would strengthen the management of Soviet political asylum seekers.
Such exaggerated reports naturally attracted the attention of the public, so that the Arabian Sea confrontation incident, which was still a hot topic a week ago, was instantly forgotten. However, the price was that the director of the Immigration Bureau was ordered to step down.
This just confirmed what I said before, that the public's eyes will only catch the latest things, and they will choose to forget the mistakes made by the government because of the emergence of new things. However, the Soviet public intellectuals who still wanted to flee to the United States began to have difficulties. The US Embassy closed a considerable number of political asylum applications because they were afraid that spies planted by the Soviet KGB would sneak in.
And seeing that the group that went to the United States ended up like this, other people were also afraid. They dared not tell the Soviet people about the friendship, equality and freedom of the United States as they did before. Because the first batch of public intellectuals who went there became a bloody example.
The Soviet reports were completely different from those in the United States. They compared those public intellectuals to the fate of traitors and warned the masses, look, this is the fate of those who believe in freedom and democracy without thinking. People don’t treat you as a human being at all, but you still have to put your warm face on the cold butt. Now something has happened, right?
After this American version of the public intellectual persecution crisis, the liberal thought that was originally prevalent in the Soviet Union has undergone a fundamental change. They feel disappointed and helpless. The country that they originally admired the most has become the country that they hate the most. It just so happens that all these events are also calculated under the control of the Soviet Foreign Intelligence Service. (To be continued.)
