"This guy's writing really makes it sound legitimate. Is he from the Kyushu Official?"
After the press conference, Su Yi saw this article immediately.
Mainly, it was because the descriptions within it were incredibly detailed.
Without first-hand access to the exoskeleton data, it would have been absolutely impossible to write such a detailed article based only on what Su Yi said at the press conference.
Nor would it have been possible to write something like this so quickly; it could only have been prepared in advance.
The entire article was filled with solid data, well-reasoned and well-supported, making it hard not to be convinced.
Moreover, less than an hour after its release, it had already topped the trending searches on major platforms, with its popularity even briefly overshadowing the press conference for Tianyu Group's two explosive products.
This made it difficult not to suspect that the Kyushu Official was behind it, pushing it along.
"Why would the official promote our company's products like this?" Yue Ling handed over a peeled peach.
Su Yi took a bite, saying casually:
"Well, modern countries are different from the countries in your Magic World. Many things need to be publicly announced, especially matters involving major military reforms."
"In our Kyushu, we have a saying: 'The great affairs of the state lie in war and sacrifice.'"
"A Kyushu army that is currently developing steadily suddenly needs to undergo an extremely significant, comprehensive reform, from war ideology to equipment. The implications are enormous, and it will affect the interests of many related groups."
"For example, a shift in war ideology could very likely lead to the dismissal of a large number of redundant officers and soldiers who are not needed in the new war model. Equipment reform will also put some military factories in a difficult position."
"If these things are not handled well, or if someone in any part of the process is dissatisfied with the solution, it could lead to significant trouble."
"Therefore, it's very important to set the tone for an issue in advance."
He casually tossed the peach pit into the trash can.
Just as Su Yi was about to pull out a tissue to wipe his hands, Yue Ling had already summoned a magical water ball that floated in front of him.
Stunned for a moment,Su Yi finally understood what she meant.,Put your hands in the water ball and wash them,Then pull your hand,The water ball and the water stains on his hands disappeared..
He paused, then Su Yi understood her meaning. He put his hand into the the water ball to wash it, and then as he withdrew his hand, both the water ball and the water stains on his hand vanished.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but praise:
"Don't tell me, this is quite convenient."
"Just a small trick, don't mind it. What next? What happens after setting the tone?" Yue Ling asked curiously.
"When everyone… well, not everyone, but only most people believe that change is necessary, then promoting something becomes very simple," Su Yi said lightly:
"The official only needs to arrange things for the ordinary people whose interests are harmed during the reform, to prevent them from losing everything. Even if the high-level executives of those interest groups are dissatisfied, they ultimately can't do anything."
"But that will still harm the interests of some ordinary people, won't it? What if those ordinary people oppose it from the beginning?"
Yue Ling frowned, still somewhat confused by the way people in Kyushu handled things.
"Of course they will oppose it at first, but ultimately, as long as they are given a way out, their opposition won't be too strong. Plus, the majority of people whose direct interests are not harmed will agree."
"When a certain ideology becomes mainstream, even most of the people whose interests are harmed will eventually accept the correctness of that ideology. When people are in a group, they will lose a certain degree of their so-called 'reason.'"
"This characteristic is considered ignorance by many who pride themselves on being clear-headed, but this is not necessarily true. The development of human society is a continuous process of change, and during this time, no matter what, old vested interests will be replaced by new ones. If humans did not have this 'mob' characteristic, unable to somewhat mitigate the upheaval brought by change through public opinion, and everyone held onto their own interests without yielding an inch, then any reform in human history would ultimately lead to war."
"'The mob' is a code written into human genes during evolution, causing individuals to compromise for the group."
"Once a group reaches a common understanding, even if a few individuals disagree, they cannot stop the overwhelming trend."
"First gaining moral high ground and the approval of the vast majority of people, then carrying out reforms, is the most righteous and kingly way."
"It is also the purpose behind Kyushu having such an article published."
Yue Ling listened, utterly confused, but after a long while, her brows suddenly relaxed as she said:
"I… I think I suddenly understand why our Moon Elves were usurped from the Elf King's throne by the Dark Elves."
"How so?" Su Yi raised an eyebrow.
He only knew that Yue Ling was a deposed princess, and he really didn't know much about the grievances and enmities between the Moon Elf and Dark Elf tribes in the Elf Kingdom of the Magic World.
Yue Ling rubbed her temples, looking somewhat troubled:
"Roughly ten thousand years ago, the Dark Elves led a rebellion once, but at that time, our Moon Elf royal family was much stronger than them and easily defeated the Dark Elf tribe."
"But the Elf King at the time had planned to disband this tribe or completely eliminate them. However, the leader of the Dark Elf tribe surrendered their city before our army could break through their last city, claiming that they were deeply sinful and willing to face execution, only asking the Elf King to spare the Dark Elf people for the sake of them being descendants of the Elf God."
"They voluntarily surrendered and even brought up the Elf God, so the Elf King at the time found it difficult to completely eradicate them. He stripped the Dark Elves of their noble titles in the Elf Kingdom, killed the rebellious leaders, and then spared the Dark Elf race."
"For most of these ten thousand years, the Dark Elves, who possessed a noble bloodline no less than our Moon Elf race, have always been at the lowest rung of the Elf Kingdom. Of course, this was only in name; in reality, because of their noble bloodline, no one dared to discriminate against or make things difficult for them, except for a few members of the royal family."
"Yet, the entire Dark Elf tribe seemed to genuinely atone for their past acts of usurpation. From then on, they have always been extremely reclusive and humble, even to the point of being servile. They often mingled with the lowest strata of society, those with the lowest status and bloodline in the Elf Kingdom."
"The other top tribes descended from the Elf God's bloodline, including our Moon Elves, have always looked down on the Dark Elves because of this, generally believing they sullied our noble bloodline, and used them as a topic for jokes."
"Elf youths from the top tribes would often speak ill and deliberately provoke Dark Elves when they encountered them. But before that, they had never shown any signs of dissatisfaction or resistance."
"At that time, there was a widespread perception among the high-ranking officials of the Elf Kingdom that the war ten thousand years ago had broken the backbone of the Dark Elf tribe. Although noble blood flowed in their veins, they no longer possessed the noble spirit of their ancestors."
"Until that day…" Yue Ling sighed:
"Almost all the Elf race forces, except for our Moon Elves and a few other top tribes, took up arms at the rallying cry of the Dark Elves and stormed into our royal capital with them."
