Chapter 94 Countermeasures

PS. Thank you book friend, no heroine or CP, your support is my motivation!

After Easter Sunday’s Lamb Chop Dinner, Joey was called to his father’s office as usual. This time, he was not interviewed by his father alone, but his own godfather, Uncle Herman, Prince Carl, "Blood Prince" and Prince Carl August.

In front of Joey, Crown Prince Frederick made a request to his son by looking straight to his point, "Jojo, do you remember the adult re-education training class you talked to your Uncle Herman before?"

After seeing Joey nodding, the crown prince continued to ask, "How are you talking to Professor Ernst Maher? Does anyone among Professor Maher's friends want to help you?"

"Professor Mach very much supported this idea. He recommended Professor Afenarius, Professor Robert Ville, and "Joy grabbed his head and said embarrassedly, "And, Mr. Victor Adler, the Austrian."

"Mr. Victor Adler? That guy wanted by Emperor Franz and the Austro-Hungarian government?" Prince Carl August asked in surprise.

"Your Highness, Mr. Victor Adler, isn't on the list of political prisoners in the empire?" Herman asked Prince Carl with a smile.

Prince Carl, who is in charge of the highest power of the imperial judicial procuratorial system, thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "No, the people on the list of political prisoners designated by the Prime Minister are all Germans, and there are no Austro-Hungarian citizens."

Sir Grusen nodded to Prince August and then asked Joey, "I remember Mr. Victor Adler, who is said to be a student of the tutor Marx. Do you now believe in scientific socialism and convert to Professor Mach's critical socialism?"

"Professor Maher said that since the birth tutor and maid gave birth to an illegitimate child, Mr. Victor Adler has not admired the Jewish tutor. After all, while saying that he wanted to liberate the oppressed class, he also enjoyed the services of the oppressed class. He did not admit it even if he had an illegitimate child, and insisted that he was a morally pure person. In terms of ideals, it is difficult for these people who pursue pure socialism to accept it."

"So, Mr. Victor Adler, it feels more appropriate to criticize socialism." Joey said with a wicked smile.

Looking at his father's unpleasant look, Joey immediately shut up and stopped talking about gossip and said seriously, "According to Professor Mach, Mr. Victor Adler is pursuing the existing socialist experience to systematically realize and summarize the persistence and regularity of socialism. Therefore, Professor Mach predicted that Mr. Victor Adler can practice the socialist experience smoothly into economic life."

"This is great. Since it is not on the list of political prisoners of the Prime Minister, and Professor Mach's recommendation, my father and I, welcome these three to the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach to help us promote Joey's adult re-education training class." Prince Carl August said with a smile.

"Is it a waste for all the three masters to go to Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach?" Joey asked his godfather whispered.

Sir Grusen looked at the others and said with a smile, "As the situation is forced, these three masters can only be asked to go to Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach first. Prussia cannot be promoted for the time being, because the Prime Minister does not like this set of socialism, so the reemployment training here is temporarily based on skills. We are preparing to communicate with the Prime Minister for the training of thoughts. After all, the Prime Minister now supports your father's economic policies, so in Prussia, we must also make appropriate compromises to the Prime Minister."

"In exchange, the Prime Minister agreed to advance our idea within the German Federation. The original plan was to carry out the Hanseatic League, Baden and Saxony at the same time, but suddenly there were some changes. Your father and I, as well as Prince Carl and Prince August's father, decided to focus on the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimmar-Eisenach first." Sir Gruson continued to explain.

"What happened?" Joey asked curiously.

Several adults looked at each other and finally set their eyes on Crown Prince Frederick.

Frederick looked a little embarrassed. After thinking about it, he said, "The news from the Prime Minister, some of your mother's friends, because they were not satisfied with your mother's request to suspend the strike and support my economic work first, decided to use the strike to respond to your mother's interference in their political ideas, so they were preparing to hold a strike in Eisenach City."

"This news has been proven to be true. Carl's father, Grand Duke Alexander, will stay in Eisenach City to deal with this matter, which is why your cousin Alexander did not come to the uterus this time."

"Jojo, although this incident has been caused by your mother, I don't blame her, so just know this. Don't say anything to your mother anymore." The crown prince said seriously to Joey.

"Of course, Dad, I've forgotten what you said just now. But how are you going to deal with this strike? How urgent is this matter?" Joey immediately chose to forget about his mother, but Joey took it to heart for the upcoming strike.

"This matter has not reached the point of being in a brutal state. It's just that there has been no major strike in Germany in the past two years. If your father just took the position of Minister of Economy and was rumored to have a workers' strike before his work even started, the impact would be terrible. People who don't understand whether your father's new economic policy is good or bad may be affected by this strike and add trouble to your father's work." Sir Gruson said.

"Understand that people have herd mentality. The quality of an unknown thing is not necessarily judged by the results. It is likely to be infected by other people's emotions and judge right and wrong only from their own emotions." Joey, who has studied psychology, immediately understood the key.

"As for how you are going to deal with this strike, your father and I want to hear your thoughts." Sir Grusen said with a smile, and then smiled at Crown Prince Frederick, thinking, "Fritz, I want to enjoy the fun of letting Joey come up with ideas and I'm picking on it."

Joey didn't notice the little thoughts of his godfather and father at all, and he thought about countermeasures to deal with the strike.

"Staying aside the contradictions for the time being and focusing on economic construction. Now the whole of Europe is in an economic crisis. Let's work together to let everyone eat, wear, and spend the money safely and happily through the economic crisis. Let's discuss what postures to eat, dress and sleep the most comfortable, isn't it good?"

"Why do we always emphasize contradictions and confrontations and intensify contradictions and fight? Among so many socialist factions, you are the faction that is the most inexplicable. If you are happy, you have to fight, and if you are unhappy, you have to fight. If you are unhappy, you have to fight. All day long is class struggle. What's the point of internal struggle?" Joey sneered and complained in his heart.

"The strike is a crisis. Since it is a crisis, then use the principle of crisis resolution to deal with it." Joey quickly made up his mind and began to speak.

"First, Germany always respects everyone's legal rights. Then strikes have been there, now, and in the future, we cannot expect to eliminate strikes. This is unrealistic in Germany."

"Since a crisis like a strike will never disappear, the government needs to set up a department, or at least a group, to specifically deal with the strike crisis, or other areas of crisis." Joey first gave the attitude of resolving the crisis that only existed in the 21st century.

The adults looked at each other, and from each other's eyes, they all felt that Joey's statement was interesting.

"What is the purpose of the strike? In addition to the simple demand for increased wages and benefits, there is also a kind of political opinion, the expression of political voices. No one should pay attention to a person's voice, but the voices and opinions of a group of people must be valued by the government in any case."

"I believe that the vast majority of workers are simple people, simple people, and there are not so many high-level people's colorful intestines. Why do they have to unite? It is because no one listens to their voices, no one cares about the joys, sorrows, and no one cares about him. Therefore, these weak people must be kept in a group. Only in this way can the so-called strong people pay attention to them!"

"So, what I want to say is the first principle of crisis handling, sincere communication." Joey said the first principle of crisis handling learned in later generations.

"If Professor Afenarius, Professor Ville and Mr Adler arrive at the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach, I hope that the three masters will reflect the problems of any worker at the bottom of society, please listen carefully, communicate sincerely, and respond with a sincere attitude to every worker." Joey sincerely asked.

"It's interesting, no, everyone." Sir Grusen said to everyone with a smile, "Joey, why do you think sincere communication is so important?"

"Respect, everyone desires to be respected, and no one wants to be treated as a useless person. The best way to reflect respect for others is to communicate sincerely with others." Joey said firmly. "Through sincere communication, if you respect every worker, then every worker will respect you twice as much, because no higher person has ever treated them like this."

"Are we going to be more humble? After all, I have seen the socialists' practices, and they have gained a lot of benefits through humility in front of the workers." Prince Carl August interrupted.

"No, no, no, we are respecting every worker equally. We are not doing things with a tail between our tails. We are equal with the workers. We represent the government. We only need to use an equal attitude, respect others' attitude, and express the problem calmly and directly." Joey denied Prince August's idea. The government represents power, and the self-practice attitude can only damage the majesty of the government. Equality is the only attitude that needs to be maintained.

"Of course, arrogance and arrogance are attitudes that must not appear. If a person with such thoughts and attitudes, please do not let him contact any workers. Please transfer such people from the field of officials, and I don't like this kind of people even in the field of government officials. We all know that arrogance and arrogance are original sins, and we cannot use sinners as bureaucrats." Joey reminded again.

After thinking carefully, everyone nodded to understand Joey's meaning.

"In addition to sincere communication and respect, Article 2 of the crisis handling principle, quickly clarify."

"All strikes and all crises have fuses. Whether this fuse is real or false, we need to clarify."

"The German officials are famous for being bureaucratic and old-fashioned. I cannot say that this characteristic is good or bad. But in the face of crisis, degree and time are the first priority. If the bureaucrats are allowed to report in a straightforward manner, then we will lose the most important factor in the crisis handling, time and degree."

"So we must attack quickly and respond quickly to any rumors that incite strikes."

"Wait, Qiao Qiao, every rumor is cleared, why does it take so much effort? My suggestion simply block the channels of rumor and block the newspapers and magazines. In this way, only a small team of imperial police can do things, why do you have to spend so much effort?" Prince Carl asked in confusion.

Prince Carl's method immediately received a response from Prince August, "I agree with Uncle Carl's statement, Jojo, why bother so much?"

"Well, my idea is that the workers are not a German trouble, they are the creators of German wealth, or I'll make an inappropriate analogy, how do you treat a goose that lays golden eggs, torture it, or to give it a good life?" Joey asked.

"I think most people will willingly serve a goose that can lay golden eggs," Joey added with a smile.

"If the goose rebels or even pecks the owner, I will slaughter it and eat meat without hesitation." "Blood Prince" Prince Carl suddenly interrupted with murderous intent.

Speaking of killing people, although the four adults here have all experienced joining the army to go to the battlefield, the atmosphere for the German compatriots who killed them... was still cold.

Joey smacked his lips and thought to himself, "This murderous aura is too heavy..."

Joey spread his hands, "Since Uncle Carl has said this, I want to express my attitude. We are not judges, so I think it is better not to do anything about ordering the killing of our own people, or ordering the killing of the people in person. My Emperor and Grandpa just ordered hanged 28 people, and these 28 people were convicted by the court. You all know that there are still people scolding him so far."

"The empire has laws and courts. Police can arrest suspects and prosecutors can prosecute suspects, but this person is guilty or not. I think the verdict should be handed over to the court. I am not defending those 28 people here now, but I think that even if they are to be hanged, it should be executed by the court, and it should not be ordered by my emperor grandfather."

"After all, in Germany, the iron rule of the king under the law was written into the Prussian Charter by our ancestor Frederick the Great." Joey said to his uncle, Prince Carl.

Prince Carl stared at Joey's stern gaze and gradually softened. Then the prince smiled and said to Crown Prince Frederick, "It is indeed a child of the Hohenzollern family. Always keep Frederick the teachings of the Great, Joey passed my test."

Joey touched his forehead and made an exaggerated move to wipe away the sweat from his forehead. Then everyone was amused by his action.

"Jojo, continue to tell your clarification." The crown prince urged.

"Every rumor that causes a strike must be clarified by Xun, and must not be deceived or suppressed. In any case, you cannot believe it. Repeating lies ten thousand times is a stupid word of truth. Lies are lies. A lie must be compensated with ten lies. When the balloon of lies is blowing bigger and bigger, the only result of the balloon is explosion."

"The truth will never be hidden forever."

"A strong and confident German government does not need lies, because only a government that tells the truth will be believed by the German people. Now the literacy rate of Germans has reached 96%, which means that every German has independent ideas. We can't build our own government on the dune of lies." Joey said with a smile.

"Well, I agree with what Joey said. An honest person is always trustworthy than a lie. The same is true for a government. Even if it has many shortcomings, as long as it is honest, the people will believe in the government." Sir Gruson said.

"Yes, Uncle Herman is right. There is no perfect government in the world. People need to know this, and we must know this. What the government needs to do is to face their own people with an honest attitude. Honesty is the most important thing!" Joey continued Sir Gruson's words.

Crown Prince Frederick looked at Prince Carl and Prince August, and after receiving the expression of approval, he continued to ask, "Jojo, how should this crisis response team clarify this matter?"

Joey smiled. He had participated in this matter himself, so he was very good at it!

Then, we began to talk about the basic principles of clarification in crisis events.

Starting from how to ensure the information is timely and accurately, we will talk about how to ensure the right of the German people to know, and then how to communicate the views of both parties with the German people with a frank attitude, and on the premise of ensuring the consistency of the information sources of all the information, we will provide information with authoritative evidence through concise language, and finally how to supervise the information in the news media effectively.

Joey's experience in crisis handling in his previous life opened his horizons to the four of them, especially Prince Carl August, who felt a sudden sense of enlightenment. Prince August has always dreamed of being a politician, not a boring prince. Today, when he heard his little cousin Joey's theory of crisis handling, he instantly had the determination to be a politician who was good at dealing with political crises.

"Uncle Herman." Prince August also learned from Joey's name to Sir Gruson. "This time I returned to Eisenach, please let me follow you. I also want to try Joey's theory."

"Okay, Carl welcomes you." Sir Gruson reached out and put his arms around Prince August's shoulder and welcomed him enthusiastically.

"Jojo, it seems you still have any ideas?" Prince Carl felt keenly that Joey wanted to speak but stopped.

"Oh, yes, there's the last point in the government crisis handling." Joey thought for a while and said.
