Roderick takes the tea and nods his thanks as Khan speaks. As the question becomes clear, his smile turns to a wicked grin. He sips his tea, thinks for a moment on how to word it, then starts talking.
"Well, Sir, as we both know, Rheinland is a heavily nationalist nation with a deep-seated antipathy towards Liberty due to the war. It also has a large populist movement which takes various forms, such as the Red Hessian movement, which lays a lot of the groundwork for a socialist takeover. All of the populist revolutionary groups are heavily nationalist for the most part, wanting to see a strong Rheinland under their paradigm."
"What the Coalition can do is spread subtle propaganda pointing out the striking similarities between the Libertonian and Rheinlandic economic systems, free market capitalism for the former and a more limited corporate-monopolist capitalism in the latter. However, we tell them that Liberty, in truth, is a den of corruption and frequent lies, and that this is directly influenced by the free market capitalism which plagues it. Tell them that Liberty is what it is, an enemy of Rheinland, a den of filth, because of Corporate interests and capitalist plutocrats, then point out how very similar it is to the system in Rheinland."
"Once the similarities between the systems of the 'Evil Libertonians' and the 'Great and Glorious Rheinlanders' have been established very well, the next step should be to introduce Socialism as the solution. Use images heavy with symbolism, chock-full of the capitalist abomination's slimy tentacles snaking through government, to instill fear of capitalism in the public. Tell them that Socialism can prevent this, by 'hacking through the tentacles to Capitalism's greasy heart.' Make them believe that the only way to kill the Capitalism which plagues Liberty and could kill their beloved Fatherland, is to install Socialism. You'll have populist revolts that'll make the Von Rohe's Day revolt look like a picket-sign protest. You may even see limited Military defections."
"And to make sure things continue going well, the people installed as leaders of this Socialist Order should be held on a tight leash until things settle, so they don't get too uppity. Rheinlanders are heavily nationalist. They love the Fatherland. Exploit that. Use that. It's the ticket in. But be careful that installed leaders are subtly controlled, so that the nationalism doesn't turn against you. Of course, the above scenario is if everything goes perfectly, their government may employ counter-propaganda. Proper infiltration of their information networks will probably be necessary."
He finishes, sipping at the tea again, and letting what he said sink in. Hopefully it'd be satisfactory, but the day wasn't over yet.
"Things will not calm down, Daniel Jackson. They will, in fact, calm up."
