Chapter 2109: Very Serious
The expression on the eldest Huo son's face was very serious. "Will it really be this serious?"
"The cultural and ideological field is a battlefield without smoke; the war in this field has never stopped. A behemoth as powerful as the Soviet Union was not defeated by war, but instead fell under Western cultural infiltration. How many years has it been since that happened?"
Zhou Andong lowered his head and took a sip of tea. When he raised his head again, his eyes became somewhat deep.
He thought of the problematic textbooks of later generations. Renjiao, as the main force in the regular army, was actually infiltrated to such an extent; it was truly shocking.
"After years of the Cold War, the United States felt powerless. The failures of the Korean War and the Vietnam War greatly weakened the national power of the United States. So the United States changed its thinking, infiltrating from the cultural field and defeating the Soviet Union through peaceful evolution.
It clearly proposed to realize the strategic goal of peaceful evolution through aid, trade, tourism, news undertakings, exchanges of students and teachers, as well as funds and technology.
As a result, the United States established six radio stations in Europe called 'Radio Free Europe,' specifically targeting the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries, promoting the achievements, lifestyle, and values of Western society.
But the Soviet Union had no vigilance and was completely unprepared. When the second and third generations of Soviet youth who were deeply influenced by Western thought took up leadership positions, they firmly believed that as long as they took the capitalist road, the Soviet Union could still be a powerful country, and all the ills would be solved.
Finally, the entire Soviet Union fell into chaos. The last gatekeeper of the Soviet Union, the Vice President, launched a coup with the support of the KGB, attempting to turn the tide, but it was too late.
The Soviet masses and the army, who had been brainwashed by the West for a long time, did not support them. The army commanders refused to shoot at the masses, the coup failed, and the Soviet Union disintegrated..."
The Huo family's feelings for the country were unquestionable, but as businessmen, they just watched major events like the disintegration of the Soviet Union as news. It was impossible for them to spend time and energy analyzing the problems inside, why that behemoth suddenly disintegrated.
Hearing Zhou Andong's detailed explanation, the expressions on Elder Huo and the eldest Huo son's faces became more and more serious.
"Then now, in the country..."
The eldest Huo son looked at Zhou Andong, but he didn't finish his sentence; he really didn't dare to speak.
Zhou Andong nodded. "When the Soviet Union disintegrated, it had already attracted the attention of the higher-ups. But reform and opening up, the influx of American and Western ideology, cannot be stopped.
The moon in foreign countries is round; washing dishes in the United States for a month is worth a professor's annual salary in the country—this kind of statement is rampant, and people firmly believe it. The trend of going abroad has formed.
The United States is also sparing no effort, waving dollars, under the banner of cooperation and exchange, cooperating with various universities in the country, and introducing international students to study in the United States."
Speaking of this, Zhou Andong paused. "Don't you think this scene is familiar? It's exactly the same as when the United States introduced Soviet youth to study in the United States back then, waiving tuition, waiving room and board, and providing huge subsidies?"
The eldest Huo son's face changed, and he said hesitantly, "Xiangjiang is about to return; will the British..."
"Yes!" Zhou Andong said very affirmatively. "They will not only make a big fuss about ideology, but also extend their black hands to education.
Universities, high schools, junior high schools, and primary schools, and even kindergartens, they will not let go. When the next generation, the next next generation grows up, who knows when it will break out, bringing serious disaster to Xiangjiang."
He hadn't said these words when he was a guest at the old man's place, even when they talked about cultural field issues.
Because this involved major national strategic issues, completely different from the issues of integrating rare earths and liberalizing grain market policies.
He could talk about it shallowly, just to give a reminder, such as in film and television, after all, he had an entertainment company in his hands, and he could do something.
But he had to choose to shut up about anything too deep. Even Elder Jian wouldn't be told; the stakes involved were too great, and his small body couldn't bear it.
To give a simple example, for instance, if he told the higher-ups these words today, and the higher-ups happened to take them seriously, then the first thing they would probably do is strictly review the children of cadres going abroad to study.
After all, most cadres' children going abroad to study are just to gild themselves. If they are brainwashed abroad and return to work, it would be very dangerous. The Soviet Union disintegrated only a few years ago, and such examples are right before our eyes!
In addition, universities are also one of the important battlefields for the United States to launch a cultural war. To completely eradicate this situation, the political review of teachers, professors, and school leaders must be done well. From the three generations of ancestors to the three generations of descendants, everything must be checked clearly. If there is any problem, they must absolutely not be hired.
Think about it, how many people will this offend?
The reason he chose to speak today was entirely because of Elder Huo. This old gentleman holds an important position in the country and is himself a Hong Konger.
For the hidden dangers buried by the British in Xiangjiang, it is more convincing for him to convey these words to the higher-ups, far stronger than him saying it to Elder Jian.
It's just that once these words are placed on the table, there will certainly be some people who can see that his shadow is in it.
Because in the past two years, when he argued with those public intellectuals and those who hate the country, he had said more than once, explicitly or implicitly, about American cultural aggression.
But so what if they guessed it?
Anyway, I didn't say anything; it was Elder Huo who said it, and it was this old man who reported it to the higher-ups.
If you want to hate, hate him; if you want to scold, scold him; if you want to find trouble, find him. It has nothing to do with me.
Just when the eldest Huo son was still in deep thought, Elder Huo looked at Zhou Andong with deep meaning, but a gratified smile appeared on his face.
That day at the State Guest House, Zhou Andong said he wanted to use shares to exchange for Sony Music and Sony Pictures, and also talked about American cultural aggression.
But it was all centered on Hollywood and the film and entertainment sector, not as deep as what was said today.
Now it seems that this kid came to visit him today with bad intentions, kidnapping him.
However, he was very happy in his heart; Zhou Andong's political wisdom exceeded his imagination.
He was old, and his sons had no problems with their talent in business, and no problems with their patriotism.
The problem was that their political wisdom was not enough. When he was gone one day, the Huo family would likely fall into a crisis.
Now with this monster Zhou Andong, as long as they maintain a good relationship, even if he dies, he can ensure the Huo family is safe and sound.
At this time, the eldest Huo son let out a long breath and looked at Elder Huo. "Father, what do you think about this matter?" ===== CHAPTER 2110 =====
