Love Guide for Childhood Sweethearts

"No, I mean during training, in the dormitory, or..." Lin Xingzhi asked with concern.

"I just finished my meal and sat on a bench, enjoying the evening breeze to help digest the food." Lin Jingzhe said leisurely, leaning back on the bench with his body stretched out.

"Thank goodness I listened to you. Oil prices haven't skyrocketed," Lin Xingzhi said with deep emotion. "The Middle East is in turmoil. There's no country it can't sweep through." He continued, "It's truly a war of public opinion. This Middle East unrest is a Facebook revolution, a Twitter uprising, a revolution orchestrated by keyboard warriors."

"It's simple and practical to operate." Lin Jingzhe snorted coldly.

"Yeah! First, pick out some criminal incidents or negative news in a Middle Eastern country. If there aren't any, create conflict. Then, through the NGOs cultivated and co-opted by the US and the West, they'll hype up public opinion and manipulate the situation online on social media apps like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. Then, through these apps, they'll mobilize crowds and protests. Once people gather from all directions, the organizers behind the scenes can raise an inflammatory slogan and leverage the power of the crowd to overthrow the government of the small country." Lin Xingzhi gritted his teeth, his laughter mixed with tears. "Camel, afraid of being burned, actually gave every resident $3000, and then the protesters disappeared."

"Democracy and freedom are good things, but to ordinary people struggling to make ends meet, they're only worth three thousand dollars." Lin Jingzhe's dark brown eyes flickered slightly as he spoke, "Freedom is not only less important than life, but also less important than three thousand dollars."

"It really works directly." Lin Xingzhi chuckled and said, "In fact, unplugging the network cable is more effective."

"No! After all, no matter how explosive the public opinion is, once the heat passes, although the Internet has memory, netizens' emotions have long subsided. If we really pull the network cable like this, it will directly escalate the public opinion. Moreover, the Americans use mobile WiFi to incite the ignorant masses." Lin Jingzhe said with deep eyes.

"Then there should be a power outage." Lin Xingzhi smiled and said, "My phone is out of battery, so I can't do anything. A backup generator is not as convenient as a mobile WiFi."

"Yes!" Lin Jingzhe smiled and nodded slightly.

Lin Xingzhi said with a deep gaze, "I've truly witnessed the power of public opinion warfare. Compared to launching large-scale wars and the meat-grinder-like street fighting, inciting an internal color revolution is a classic example of low investment and high output."

"Yeah! Now you understand the importance of building the wall!" Lin Jingzhe said with his dark eyes flickering, "It hasn't even been a year yet!"

"Yes, yes!" Lin Xingzhi said with great relief.

"Go online and ask how many people know about the chaos in the Middle East," Lin Jingzhe said with a raised eyebrow. "How many people watch the news broadcast?"

"Uh..." Lin Xingzhi hesitated for a long time after being asked, "Not many people watch it. They are all busy living their own lives!"

"Who still remembers building the wall?" Lin Jingzhe said with a gentle look.

"I've forgotten it all." Lin Xingzhi chuckled. "The people of the Middle East really do have a short history! They're actually so happy about ushering in freedom and overthrowing dictatorship. Little do they know that the disaster has just begun." He then added, "Where in the world is there absolute freedom?"

"Whether they have freedom or not, as spectators, we're just watching the fun and can't really experience it, let alone see the giant hand gripping their necks." Lin Jingzhe chuckled. "However, to study the internal structure of a hornet's nest, you don't necessarily have to stick your head inside. Some things can't be hidden."

"The real culprit is still the Americans," Lin Xingzhi said with a cold look in his eyes. "They just can't stand seeing other people living a good life."

"He can only make money when people are in chaos," Lin Jingzhe snorted coldly. "He bombs everything he goes to." He continued, "Iraq, which was defeated by the Americans, is OPEC's second-largest oil producer. Nearly 90% of its fiscal budget comes from oil sales. After Saddam Hussein was hanged by the US-backed regime, how much oil is Iraq exporting every day?"

"It's dropped significantly. This amount is more than half of what it was after the camel production dropped." Lin Xingzhi clenched his fists and said, "It's true that Iraq's oil revenue must be deposited with the Federal Reserve. Damn, the Americans are really crazy!" He then added, "The money earned from selling oil can't be used directly. It must be transferred through the Iraqi Central Bank's regulated account. This process requires approval from the Federal Reserve before the relevant transfers and commercial settlements can be completed and the funds can be transferred to Iraqi entities."

"In other words, although the money is yours, Iraq has no say on how to spend it, who to spend it on, and how much to spend." Lin Jingzhe raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing his dark pupils.

"Can't the other countries in the Middle East see this? Their short history prevents them from seeing the essence of things, yet the bloody lessons are right before their eyes!" Lin Xingzhi took a deep breath and said, "The Americans can easily find excuses like money laundering, suspected links with sanctioned countries, or counter-terrorism to strangle you. As a result, Iraq is rich but powerless, with over 80% of its dollar transactions banned. This little money isn't even enough to buy bread. Expecting to stabilize their currency, prevent it from depreciating, import technology and equipment, develop infrastructure, and develop the economy is nothing but a pipe dream." He sighed, "Do you really think the Americans are such benevolent people?"

"They've been brainwashed." Lin Jingzhe said with a deep gaze, "Their people haven't received compulsory education, haven't learned the art of dragon slaying, and most of them are just following the crowd."

"Dragon-slaying technique? Rebellion is justified." Lin Xingzhi said with a grin.

"The Americans' facial expressions are nothing compared to our dragon-slaying techniques. Our dragon-slaying techniques target the lives of the capitalists," Lin Jingzhe said with a gentle gaze. "We'll use explosive means to smash the ruling class."

"Cough cough..." Lin Xingzhi was so frightened that he kept coughing.

"Are you that surprised?" Lin Jingzhe said with a smile.

"I haven't thought of it that way." Lin Xingzhi swallowed and said.

"We're not strong, and we can't output!" Lin Jingzhe said with a gentle look in his eyes, "We were very capable of outputting those thirty years, but we can't start a revolution on an empty stomach! We have to make some trade-offs!"

"So the propaganda department is in a mess and has been taken over by others." Lin Xingzhi said with a slightly cold look in his eyes.

"You can't stop them from speaking! We have our own news broadcast every day, but who would believe that foreigners are living in dire straits?" Lin Jingzhe said with his clear eyes, "Many people follow the crowd. Countries in the Middle East with millions or even hundreds of millions of people are easily overturned by public opinion, which is enough to show the enormous power of manipulating and guiding public opinion. Innocent people make up the majority, but when they gather in the square, when the avalanche occurs, not a single snowflake is innocent." He said in a cold voice, "Their perceptions are worthy of their suffering!"
