50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 734 Cutting Oneself
What if there's no negative news in the country they're in? Then they'll create their own news.

The "Robin Project" has yielded remarkable results after being implemented in the Russian family for many years.

Not only externally, they even applied the "Robin Project" to America itself, especially to its lower and middle classes.

It has to be said that America is ruthless; she won't even spare herself when she gets angry.

In 1961, America was struggling to find a pretext to send troops to deal with the Cuban forces in the Caribbean.

Then-CIA Director Dulles planned and carried out numerous bombings and attacks on American soil, resulting in the massacre of nearly 10,000 American citizens.

Afterwards, Dulles launched a public opinion campaign, claiming that these things were all done by Gu B.

Immediately, the people of America were filled with righteous indignation and resolutely demanded that troops be sent to Cuba to avenge this blood feud.

This led to the Bay of Pigs Invasion. Although America's attack on Cuba was ultimately unsuccessful, "Operation Robin" was a success.

This tactic of attacking oneself is something America has used more than once in her history, and she is already very familiar with it.

In 1898, in order to compete with Spain for the two colonies of the Philippines and Cuba, America orchestrated the bombing of the armored cruiser USS Maine.

All 266 crew members aboard the armored cruiser USS Maine perished, and their deaths became the catalyst for the Spanish-American War.

America has done this before, she does it now, and she will do it in the future: to create trouble and then use false public opinion to support it.

It is said that America had received news of the bombing of Pearl Harbor before the bombing during World War II, but Roosevelt pretended not to know in order to reverse the anti-war sentiment at home.

As a result, after sacrificing his own soldiers and warships at Pearl Harbor as cannon fodder, he successfully reversed the 'isolationist' sentiment in America and got America on the war machine of World War II.

This conspiracy theory has been presented in the media and movies more than once.

No direct evidence is needed, because many of the coincidences can only be explained by conspiracy theories.

Firstly, at the time of the Pearl Harbor attack, all three aircraft carriers in the harbor—the Enterprise, the Lexington, and the Saratoga—were out of the harbor, thus avoiding the bombing.

In the later stages, these three aircraft carriers became key to America's counterattacks in the Pacific.

What a coincidence that three aircraft carriers went out together without any other auxiliary ships.

But if they went out to avoid the attack on their own initiative, then it makes perfect sense.

Secondly, on the eve of the attack on Pearl Harbor, America sent a large number of medical personnel and supplies to Pearl Harbor. Was this a coincidence?

Third, in the days leading up to the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Pearl Harbor aircraft were frequently redeployed to remote airfields.

Moreover, the planes at Pearl Harbor's main airfield were not parked in idle warehouses, but were instead lined up neatly on the runway, "ready for bombing."

Finally, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, America had already declared war on her peaceful life.

But it is strange that Roosevelt did not directly retaliate against the small countries in the Pacific, but instead devoted most of the war resources to the European theater.

If someone hits you, you should get revenge on them; that's the logic of a normal person.

But instead of attacking her enemies, America turned around and beat up the mustachioed man, leaving him completely bewildered.

After all, America made a lot of money off Mustache before she went to war.

Much of the supplies for Djokovic's soldiers came from America's family, and many of the spoils he plundered from various European countries were also sent to America's family. Later on, when America saw that Djokovic was short of money, she betrayed him.

They'll come up with another "Lend-Lease Act" to make another fortune off European countries.

After winning World War II, they came up with the "Marshall Plan," which allowed them to capture the European market and then make a third fortune.

The America Consortium is really pushing their limits.

Several years ago, an American journalist named Bernstein exposed the dark secrets of "media espionage."

He said the CIA recruited many journalists in America, paid them a considerable sum each year, and instructed them to fabricate "fake news."

In the past, the CIA admitted that "Project Robin" had bribed at least 4000 journalists and 300 large organizations worldwide.

The "Robin Project" used to be carried out in secret, but now it's practically an open secret.

The American Embassy and NGOs openly and legitimately organize various forums and activities.

Examples include "Pride Month activities," "The Future of Women's Rights," "Youth Mental Health Rehabilitation," and "Focusing on Girls."

These seemingly appealing headlines create a friendly first impression, but in reality, the promotional content for these events is a jumbled mess.

In 2019, Secretary of State Pompeo gave a speech at Texas A&M University.

He himself, in his capacity as former CIA director, said: "We lie, we cheat, we steal, and that's America's glory in her constant exploration and progress."

The later the CIA went, the bolder and more rampant their actions became. By the 21st century, they no longer bothered to conceal their "information espionage" activities.

However, public opinion is a double-edged sword. You can manipulate it, and so can others; it just costs money.

The world is well aware of America's feelings.

If you, America, can make 'five cents,' then others can only make 'ten rubles,' 'five euros,' or 'fifty cents.' It's all just mutual harm.

With the rise of the internet, the threshold for manipulating public opinion is getting lower and lower.

With the increasing number of public media outlets, the more money and resources are required for a public opinion war to be truly effective.

But one thing is certain: whoever controls more platforms for public opinion will have more say.

Thinking about the children's future, Sun Zhiwei made up his mind to quickly gain control of his voice.

At the end of the month, Sun Zhiwei and Tong Jiajia quietly returned to Beijing and got their beloved daughter married off during the May Day holiday.

The material conditions had been prepared long ago. Both families—the Xiao family, whose entire members were in the military, and Sun Zhiwei's side, which had a high level of secrecy and was not suitable for being high-profile—had already made preparations.

Neither family was suited to a grand ceremony, so after discussing it, they decided to simply hold a small family gathering together.

The wedding was held at the Xiao family home. The young couple symbolically stayed at the Xiao family home for a week before they couldn't wait to move into the courtyard house on Fuyou Street.

Anyone who has lived in a cadre dormitory knows that those old houses are only big in size and have heating, but don't expect any soundproofing. Young people would never like them.

The courtyard house was completely different. Sun Zhiwei had decorated it in a very modern style, which was much more comfortable and free than living in the cadre building in the crowded armored compound.
