Chapter 194: Reversing Black and White

President Lisboa, dressed in a crisp suit, walked in through the door with a natural expression, and it seemed that he could not see the cold mood of his anger just now.

Seeing Long You standing next to him, Lisboa beckoned to him and motioned for him to sit beside him.

"Now that the press conference has officially begun, please friends from the media, strictly abide by the interview rules, if anyone can't do it, we can only regretfully ask him to leave."

After the press officer gave the usual explanation, he gave the microphone to President Lisboa.

"This afternoon, there was a regrettable violent incident in Moscow, and the details of the matter are still being investigated, but as far as we know now, I would like to ask Colonel Moder, one of the recipients of the Order of the Russian Hero and a hero of the Beslan hostage incident, to inform you."

After a few brief words, Lisboa motioned for Long You to speak.

On the way to the news room, the secretary briefly explained two sentences to Long You, anyway, the general meaning was to let Long You tell the truth.

"Friends of the media, good evening. This afternoon I received a report that a large number of demonstrators had gathered in the city of Moscow, and that the destination was in the direction of the Kremlin Palace. So, in accordance with the spirit of the Russian national law, I led a brigade of special police officers to maintain order at the scene, mainly to prevent stampedes and terrorist attacks. ”

When Long You was talking on stage, a flash of light sounded one after another from the audience, illuminating Long You's cold face with a circle of white light.

"By the time we got there, the procession was only two blocks away. I ordered my men to follow the procession, and I myself followed into the procession. However, when confronted by a police blockade, the two young men who took the lead threw Molotov cocktails without warning, injuring at least three police officers. ”

At this point, Long You paused slightly, thinking about how to express the policeman's behavior of shooting poison gas bombs.

However, at this time, a reporter from the New York Times. Suddenly, he screamed at the top of his throat.

"So, the police just opened fire, didn't they? I had an informant record the scene...... Mr. Modell, your international image is quite good, and I hope you will tell the truth about what happened at that time! ”

This middle-aged reporter with brown-red hair looked like an old fritter who was used to seeing big scenes, Long You smiled and stopped the press officer's action to drive him away, and said: "This gentleman, your behavior has violated the relevant regulations, but for the sake of being the first to violate." I don't care. I hope everyone will take this as a warning...... This kind of thing, not an example! ”

Long You's performance made Lisboa, who was sitting on the side, feel very satisfied, and there was a look of appreciation in his eyes.

"While the police were fighting the fire, one of the officers fired a smoked grenade...... The grenade exploded in the crowd of demonstrators, and smoke enveloped most of the crowd. I was one of them, but because I was professionally trained, I held my breath and quickly got out of the smoke-shrouded area. ”

Long You cleared his throat. Looking at the reporters who were a little commotion below, it seemed that they didn't expect Long You to dare to tell the truth directly.

"I'll interject a sentence here to save you the opportunity to ask questions. The weapon fired by the policeman was not any of the weapons produced in Russia. It is a kind of psychotropic gas bomb that enters the country through illegal channels from abroad. Although the policeman was not injured in the confrontation, he was restrained by his companions after firing the grenade in disobedience. Moreover, he was already highly poisoned at that time. He is still lying unconscious in the hospital's intensive care unit. I suspect he may have been coerced or drugged. ”

"You are looking for a scapegoat, who knows if you are killing people and killing people?" A voice that doesn't know where the road is. Suddenly came out of the journalists.

Long You's eyes were cold, and he walked off the stage quickly, and took out a young man who was cowering and hiding in the crowd.

"Sir, I think we have a word first, so I'm sorry, please get out of the way...... Guard! ”

This small episode did not disrupt Long You's train of thought, and he walked back to the stage and continued to speak in an orderly manner.

"The relevant video materials and the treatment records of the hospital will be available to you later after the press conference. Of course, whether you follow the professional ethics of journalists and report truthfully, or whether you speak for certain forces out of context, is not something I can control. ”

"Okay, I'll move on. The toxic smoke is a kind of psychotropic gas that ordinary people can inhale and become agitated and aggressive. Not only demonstrators were affected, but also police officers who inhaled poison gas...... So then the tense becomes a little uncontrollable. ”

……

"Well, what I said above is what I personally experienced this afternoon, and I am willing to vouch for it with my personality, and there is no falsehood or concealment in the above words."

After Long You finished the matter completely and clearly, a gap of a few seconds unexpectedly appeared in the group of reporters. However, it was only a few seconds later that the reporter's strong professional nature made them quickly start asking questions.

"Mr. Modell, may I ask you, is it worth it for you to gamble your personality to endorse the Russian government?"

"Modell, why should we believe the words of an intelligence agency worker working for the government!"

"What about the evidence, we have to look at the evidence......"

All of a sudden, the scene suddenly fell into chaos.

The on-site staff just wanted to step forward and stop this chaotic scene, only to hear Long You yell: "Shut up for me!" ”

The deafening voice shouted out of Long You's throat, almost causing a burst of tinnitus to ring in the ears of everyone in this room.

"Although I am not a journalist, I know that objectivity and fairness are the basic qualities and professional ethics of a journalist.

Long You's astonishing momentum suppressed them for a few seconds, and then a woman who looked older stood up fearlessly and retorted: "Mr. Modell, just like Time Magazine Editor-in-Chief James . . . As Kelly said, doubting everything is also our professionalism. ”

"Very well, I agree with you...... So I'll shut up and hand over the evidence to you now, and then I'll leave this matter to you as you please, shouldn't it? Long You said-for-tat.

"Of course, if we journalists are involved in the investigation, it is the most fair and objective choice."

"Hehe, out of suspicion of everything, how can I believe that you can be fair and objective? Why can't you think that you are serving certain interest groups? ”

Long You's loud words made this experienced old reporter suddenly become a little speechless.

"But it doesn't matter...... We are above board and are not afraid of suspicion, and even if you have some ulterior motives, we believe that the truth will not be buried after all. If Mr. President does not object......"

Long You glanced back at Lisboa, and the two made eye contact slightly, "I am willing to invite you to participate in the investigation of this incident, and I will ask you to bring your press card and passport to the relevant departments to register later...... So sit down now, you have run out of opportunities to speak. ”

……

The success of the press conference completely reversed Moder's image of being a big man and a man who was only strong in force and not good at governance.

In front of many government officials, President Lisboa severely praised him, and even arranged for him to preside over the investigation.

However, the news report that came out the next day still made Lisboa half angry.

Most of the media in the United States have repeatedly introduced the march on the front page, and those editor's notes with extremely subjective assumptions have drawn readers' attention to the wrong place from the beginning.

What human rights crisis, spy politics, the white terror of Lisboa......

The appalling headlines once again taught a lesson to all those in the know.

Before the national interest, what bullshit work ethic, what media conscience, it's all a pile of shit.

President Lisboa is said to have been so angry that he didn't eat a few bites of food for a whole day after seeing the news. On the contrary, Long You didn't care, because he had long known the urine nature of these guys, but he was arranged by Lisboa to do this matter, and he could only try his best to do it.

However, although everyone is smearing the Russian government in this matter, it is surprising that almost all the media avoid the topic of Longyou, and only when they have to talk about him, they only mention a few strokes.

Therefore, among the people related to this, only Longyou still has a good image.

The post-incident investigation of this parade incident made almost no progress, and Long You went to the hospital room of the unconscious policeman alone, and did not find any meaningful clues through the means of soul search. It was only barely found out that he had been poisoned by a woman, and that his daughter and wife had been missing a day earlier.

A subsequent police search confirmed the incident, but all the intelligence agencies tried to find his family. And even if it is found, it will not alleviate the suspicion of the Russian government in the slightest.

The domestic media did not fail to stand up for the government, saying: "Having the police shoot poison gas that could trigger violence is a suicidal act for the government, so this is a strong proof of the government's innocence." ”

However, a large number of media outlets later came out to retort that the government might have used the opportunity to test chemical weapons, but it was just a failed test. (To be continued......)
