Chapter 222: Little Reporter, Big News
Yu Solin. Heller's anger is due to the fact that William is where he is today, and it can be said that he and Colonel Roy are "very credited" by helping William avoid being included in the bounty in the first place, and later having rats to help. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yu Solin. Under Louise's questioning, Heller basically told everything he knew about William's deeds, from boarding a sea pirate group alone at the age of eighteen, killing the original captain, and successfully annexing the whole ship, to colluding with local naval officials to evade pursuit, befriending the ministers of the kingdom to launder the stolen money and whitewashing his identity, seeing the opportunity to enter the kingdom's army, and finally becoming a high-ranking official and dignitary in the country's military and political power.
In some places, such as information about collusion with local naval officers, because it involves Roy, Yusolin. Heller said very vaguely, he only said that William colluded with rats, and there were some places, such as William's specific actions after entering the kingdom's army, and before boarding the ship of the Redbeard Pirates, trade and smuggling, because he did not personally participate in and understand, he didn't know much, only that William has now become the consul of the Kingdom of Navia.
This official position was set up by William himself, Yusolin. Heller didn't know much, but he knew that William was now almost one person under ten thousand people in the Kingdom of Navia, and the whole country had to take care of everything, and the whole country had essentially fallen into William's hands.
Laura. Louise had already taken out a notebook at some point, and kept jagging down something on it.
"You said he was only eighteen years old when he first annexed a pirate group with a bounty of nearly 20 million Baileys?" Yu Solin. When Heller finished, Louise paused, and then she circled the words about age in the list of notes in her notebook.
Yu Solin. Heller nodded.
Like the vulture editor-in-chief of Tokai Daily, Louise's keen instincts as a journalist told her that age was a huge topic.
Being able to kill the former captain shows that he has enough strength to safely annex a sea pirate group, which means that he has enough skills, and he is only eighteen years old, although he is in the Chambord Islands, Louise has seen or heard of countless newcomers to pirates, but newcomers with such scheming skills at this age are still rare, and most importantly, he was born in the East China Sea, and now he has almost stolen the power of a country.
And, what interests Louise the most is-
"He doesn't raid places?" Louise finally looked surprised, "Why did he do that?" And where did he get the money to raise boats and people? ”
Louise knew very well that the reason why everyone shouted and fought the pirates was because they were a group of people who did not do anything to produce, but a shipload of strong armed men and all kinds of resources consumed every day were not a small number, so they could only plunder the local people who worked hard.
Are there any aliens in pirates? Of course there are, but they are also a minority, because the nature of the group of pirates cannot be changed, and they rely on looted materials and funds to maintain their "freedom" and chic life.
Louise's Chambord Islands are the most visible place to witness the ugliness of this group, because one of the main providers of "goods" in the slave auction house here is the pirate group.
Some of the "goods" they sold to the auction house were civilians captured by the pirates, and some were simply their counterparts who were captured by the pirates.
All this is for the money.
"They specialize in attacking other pirates in the vicinity, robbing them for a living, and they seem to be doing some business themselves." Yu Solin. Heller's words are also unclear.
But Louise recorded it anyway, and her curiosity had already risen.
"A thief?" Louise muttered to herself.
Yu Solin. When Heller heard this, he said disdainfully: "It's just buying people's hearts." ”
Louise didn't care, and asked again, "And how old is he now?" ”
"Twenty-two."
Twenty-two-year-old thief, Louise wrote a sentence in her notebook.
Who knows Yusolin. Heller added, "But he became a high-ranking member of the kingdom two years ago. ”
Twenty years old.
Louise stopped her pen and looked up at Yusolin in some surprise. Heller: "You mean, it took him two years to go from being a pirate to a king?" ”
"He's not a king yet." Yu Solin. Heller corrected.
"Listen to what you describe him, it's not a king, it's almost," Louise said casually, bowing her head again, sketching her notes, "He's been controlling the country for two years?" The people of that country are really pitiful, and they must have been harassed by pirates all the time. ”
Yu Solin. Heller's face became a little unnatural, but Louise just looked up and captured his expression.
"What's wrong?" Louise asked curiously.
"Nothing." Yu Solin. Heller disguised.
Louise knew about Ursolin. Heller was lying, but she didn't break it, because the news had already piqued her interest and decided to investigate it herself.
Look at these selling points, a young captain who became a sea pirate at the age of eighteen, a self-made country thief at the age of twenty, and a country ...... controlled by pirates for two years.
Especially since all this is happening in the East China Sea!
……
"What happened in the East China Sea?" In the editor-in-chief's office, the editor-in-chief with fat head and big ears slowly cut his nails, "Do you think all this is credible?" And what the captain said was unclear, and the key points were vague, maybe it was just a simple feud, just because the East China Sea is Roger's hometown, so it is worth investigating and publishing if he is a pirate? ”
"Also, what he reported is a high-ranking official in a member country of the world government, and there is no real evidence, we are the World Economic News, not a third-rate newspaper in any place, only the real 'news', not gossip, is worthy of our publication in the newspaper, do you understand?"
Louise argued: "That's why I'm going to investigate for myself to see if everything that captain said is true or false, and whether it's an exaggeration, editor-in-chief, please trust my instincts, if this news is true, it will definitely be big news." ”
"The news of the great voyage is qualified to be called big news," the editor-in-chief disagreed, "because the eyes of the whole world are focused on here, the East China Sea?" Hehe. ”
"Here's the problem! Because the whole world thinks that the East China Sea is inconspicuous! Louise said with high interest.
In William's previous life, the editorial director of the New York Sun in the nineteen-seventies of the nineteenth century. Bogart once explained news as "a dog bites a man is not news, a man bites a dog is news." ”
In a word, it is said: strange.
Only news that is novel enough can attract attention.
No matter how many sea thieves appear on the great route, it is difficult to surprise people anymore, because this is a "normal phenomenon", but the East China Sea, which was originally inconspicuous and was shaped by the world government and navy as a model of peace, suddenly appeared such a big thief, this contrast will definitely arouse the curiosity of others.
That's newsworthiness!
It was also Laura. Louise agrees to see Yusolin. Heller, willing to listen to the root cause of such a naval captain's seemingly unwarranted accusation against the top of a kingdom.
She is a small reporter, and if she wants to get ahead in a big newspaper like the World Economic News, which gathers talents from the entire industry, she must rely on big news!
