Chapter 357 Two Spies
Johnson pondered for a moment and said: "The core of this plan lies in how we can ensure the loyalty of these wizard prisoners.
After all, they are wizards, and once they return, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not betray us."
Leah was prepared for this: “Brainwashing.
We can use the most advanced psychological manipulation technology to deeply reshape these wizards' minds to ensure their absolute loyalty to us.
We have conducted many trials on this technology and the results are remarkable.”
Stevens was the first to express his support: "I think we can try. If we can get intelligence from the wizards, then we will be able to take the initiative."
Howard nodded in agreement: “This operation is relatively low risk.
Even if those wizards escaped, we would only lose a few experimental subjects.
But once successful, the benefits will be immeasurable.”
Everyone present agreed to the proposal.
Harvest praised, "Very good, this proposal is passed. Amy, do you have any other suggestions?"
Leah hesitated for a moment, as if she had a fierce struggle deep in her heart, before she said, "Speech blockade."
As soon as this proposal was made, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense, and everyone's eyes were focused on Leah.
The United States has always been characterized by freedom.
Freedom of speech is an integral part of it.
This is undoubtedly challenging the foundation of this country.
Harvest's expression also became a little solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Go on."
Leah took a deep breath and explained, “I know there are huge drawbacks to this proposal.
But we must face the problem that the wizard's ideological infiltration is largely achieved through the dissemination of information.
If we can temporarily limit the spread of information about wizards, at least during this critical period, we can effectively reduce their influence."
The atmosphere in the meeting room became tense.
Secretary Stevens hesitated, "Amy, your proposal can indeed effectively slow the spread of wizard ideas.
But how do we explain this to the public? It could cause panic and distrust among the public.”
Leah responded: “So we have to be very careful.
There are steps we can take to silence the mainstream newspapers and media for now.
On the Internet, we can package it as an information war to protect national security and emphasize that it is a cyber intrusion.
Not only do we need to control the discourse about wizards, we can also block some information and create the illusion of an invasion.
At the same time, let them reveal more information about entertainment stars to divert people’s attention.”
Chief of Staff Howard thought for a moment and said, "If we can ensure the effectiveness of this measure,
If the scope and time of implementation are strictly controlled, then this proposal may be feasible.
But we have to have a clear exit strategy.”
After careful consideration, President Havis finally made a decision.
“Okay, this proposal is temporarily approved.
But we must develop a detailed implementation plan to ensure that every step is controllable.
Amy, you and Intelligence Minister Gonzalez, give me a complete plan as soon as possible."
Gonzalez nodded seriously on the surface, but he couldn't help feeling amused in his heart.
If she were not there, this US strategy might really achieve unexpected results.
But now this is a credit that is right at our fingertips.
After the meeting, Gonzalez and Leah immediately started to develop a plan.
Gonzalez was responsible for planning the formation and operational details of the special operations team.
Leah then set about formulating specific measures to block speech.
Back in his office, Gonzalez quickly activated the magic communicator and reported the contents of the meeting to Hermione one by one.
After hearing this, Hermione felt relieved.
The biggest advantage wizards currently have is that they can disguise themselves as Muggles.
Muggles can't do that.
In the war of intelligence, this gives wizards a natural advantage.
Take this operation carried out in 137 countries as an example. If Muggles knew the wizards' action plan,
Then it will become extremely difficult to successfully take over these countries.
“Gonzalez, report the information of those brainwashed wizards to me.
We can use them to pass on false intelligence, perhaps for our greater benefit.”
Gonzalez naturally had no objection, as this was what she had originally planned.
As for Leia, she is a wizard in her own right.
But after graduating from Ilvermorny, she did not stay in the wizarding world, but returned to the Muggle world.
In her opinion, although the wizarding world is full of magic, Muggles are better at enjoying life.
However, as wizards' activities in the Muggle world increase.
Leah begins to realize the wizards' true intentions.
So she chose to join the Shadow.
And all her files in the wizarding world have been destroyed.
Her identity as a wizard was unknown to anyone except the headmaster of Ilvermorny and Hermione.
So the first thing she did when she returned home was to report the information to Hermione.
He also said that these proposals were explained in detail.
After hearing this, Hermione also praised Leia highly.
This is simply digging up the roots of the United States!
However, Leah's implementation of the speech blockade was not smooth.
Those media heads are indifferent to national interest.
They only care whether the news is explosive enough and can bring huge profits.
Leah clearly points out all the interests at stake, even mentioning the serious consequences of national division and war.
But in the eyes of these people, she only saw more excitement.
Leah overestimated herself and underestimated these people.
However, President Havis knows the nature of these media.
He knew that Leah alone, even with the decree of the Hundred Palaces, could not make these people submit.
So he directly contacted the consortiums behind these media.
After paying a certain price, I finally got their consent.
Then a funny scene ensued.
The cell phones of those media executives who were originally mocking Leah started ringing at the same time.
They received the same order - to cooperate with the government.
On the Internet, the government's technical team began to monitor and filter keywords.
Any posts mentioning wizards, magic, and related events will be automatically deleted or marked as false information.
At the same time, the government also deliberately leaked some information about network security.
Suggesting that the country is facing cyber attacks from outside.
This is used as a cover for blocking speech.
People have had mixed reactions to this sudden restriction on speech.
Some people are confused and dissatisfied.
They began to question the phenomenon on social media.
But he soon found his voice drowned out by a sea of entertainment and gossip.
The government successfully diverted public attention by extensively reporting on celebrity scandals and sports events through the media.
