Chapter 108: Overwhelming Trinity
Chancellor Karl was about to leave work, and he was sitting in his office before leaving, and the holograms in the room were playing the real-time footage of the battlefield obtained by Maxim's command system. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Seeing countless mutant falcons pouring out of his nest, he was shocked by Mihaif's hidden strength, and began to wonder if he had made too much of a bet.
He watched the live battlefield nervously, and kept thinking about the victory, defeat, and the consequences in his heart, could it be that the League of Nations edifice he established was going to be destroyed in the battle of Komsomolsk? What's even worse is that the simulated satellite trajectory of the Trinity News Agency is getting closer and closer to Komsomolsk, and the stalemate of the battlefield makes Carl dizzy for a while, and he silently prays in his heart that the S1000 robot can explode with divine power to repel these terrible spear falcons in one fell swoop.
"Intensify your attacks, General Maxim, increase your attacks!" Chancellor Karl could no longer take into account the League of Nations' rules prohibiting direct contact between high-ranking officials and suppliers, and he used encrypted channels to give orders directly to Maxim on the front line.
"Mr. Prime Minister, the total energy of our robot warriors is less than ten percent, and we must retreat to the Grozny hydrogen production plant!"
"Then don't retreat quickly, what are you waiting for?" Karl's words brought Maxim to his senses of thought, yes, what else could he wait for? Even if all energy is exhausted to repel the attack of the Gyrfalcon, it is necessary to return to the Grozny hydrogen plant to replenish liquid hydrogen.
"However, Mr. Prime Minister, the situation at our scene has been detected by the satellite of the Trinity News Agency, and now it is impossible to keep it secret, so we can only quickly defeat these animal troops of East Russia, and in another half an hour, if we don't end the battle, the drones of their reporter station will arrive at the scene, then everything will be revealed to the world, and strategically we will lose."
Karl felt a burst of disgust in his heart, this Maxim usually has a straight waist and a decisive style of killing, and in the end he has to rely on himself to wipe his ass, "General Maxim, you don't have to worry for the time being, I will find a way to cover up the past for you, but you have to perform better, there are only three things, there is only one last chance, give me some useful material to subdue that fat man of Mikhail!" ā
After saying that, Carl cut off the call with the front line, his political life has been staked on Blackwater, and now it is too late to regret it, so he can only go all the way to the end.
As soon as Carl pressed the button on the table, Jerry knocked on the door and entered, "Mr. Prime Minister, what do you command?" ā
"Connect me to Chairman Ernesven of Trinity News Agency!"
Jerry didn't speak, although Carl didn't invite him to watch the battle on the front line, he could already guess seven or eight points, Jerry didn't ask why, because it was all redundant, he silently withdrew from the office, and quickly connected with the chairman of Trinity News Agency, Ernerswin.
In the hologram is the chairman of Trinity News Agency, Ernesven, who has monopolized half of the world's news resources at a young age, and has more power than the head of any member state of the League of Nations, but it seems that his attitude towards Carl is respectful, "Mr. Prime Minister, if you have any orders, let Director Jerry tell him directly." ā
"It's important, it's better for me to communicate with you." For the media giant in front of him, Carl was also cautious about dealing with him, for fear that the detail would cause the other party to be unhappy and make the situation out of control. "Mr. Chairman, the explosion of the heavy oil pipeline in the East Siberian region is about to make headlines around the world, and you must have known about it." Carl was still testing the other party's attitude.
"Mr. Prime Minister, April Fool's Day has passed for half a month, and our Trinity News Agency is a well-known media giant in the world, so we can't report the news like that irresponsible personal news channel."
Ernesven's humble and arrogant answer made Carl's face twitch painfully, it seemed that he was really a difficult character, thinking of this Carl changed his strategy, "Yes, we are waging a ground war in East Siberia, don't be surprised, the battle in the Sea of Japan on April Fool's Day is not a lie." ā
"Of course, we know the real situation, but the Trinity News Agency will absolutely abide by the law of the League of Nations and will not touch such a sensitive subject as war, but the fact that the Trinity News Agency has been able to achieve today's status is inseparable from the truthful reporting that we have always insisted on!"
Karl heard what Ernesven said, and he thought that he had to come up with something powerful to resist the other party's hidden needle, "Your Trinity News Agency is not the first to get the live footage of Komsomolsk, just fifty minutes ago, the satellite of Zhenghe News Agency also passed over Komsomolsk, but they did not send drones and did not report publicly. ā
Ernesvin's eyelids jumped, "That must be Mr. Prime Minister and they also made a phone call." ā
"Hehe, everything can't escape the eyes of your news media, but Zhenghe's handling skills don't seem to be clever, it's not enough to be silent, we should also tell people the truth of the facts, the East Russian heavy oil pipeline exploded, and we should also call on Saturn Energy to provide cheap electricity to the Arctic Circle region to help people in the alpine region completely get rid of dangerous fossil energy."
Although Ernersven is not very old, he manages a huge media empire of more than 400,000 people, and he has a clear guess about what Carl thinks in his heart, and after a few rounds he understands what Carl means, but he has his own calculations, "But this is a blatant lie, which is completely contrary to journalistic ethics!" Ernesven's face was calm, and his tone was still neither humble nor arrogant.
"Mr. Chairman, as far as I know, Sany News Agency now accounts for only 38 percent of the market, which is a big gap with Zhenghe. In recent years, the concentration of various industries has been increasing, and the call for amending the anti-monopoly law has become louder and louder. "Of course, Karl has his own hole cards, otherwise how would he dare to pack a ticket for Maxim at the front, but he, like Maxim, puts himself in a dangerous situation.
"Mr. Prime Minister, amending the Anti-Monopoly Law is not something you can do alone, so why should Sany bet on you at such a price as journalistic ethics?" Ernesven's heart is surging, but there is no expression on his face, he is indulgent in the capital market, using high leverage to acquire and merge to establish the world's second media empire, but competitors began to huddle together to prevent him, a media upstart, the integration of the Trinity News Agency is not efficient, indeed as Carl said, the market share has been ranked behind the coincidence, and repeated changes of presidents have not worked, Carl has actually psychologically broken through Ernerswin's defense, and now he is just stubbornly resisting.
Karl sneered in his heart, he could already hear from Ernenswin's tone that the other party had surrendered, but he didn't want to pursue it too much, his usual smile appeared on his face, "Mr. Chairman, of course the League of Nations does not want a single media oligarchy in the world, and it is in our interest to maintain the balance of power in the public opinion circle!" In the seven years I have been in office, I have completed the Zeus Project and promoted the Disarmament Act, although the peace record is now broken, but only I have achieved a true war-free day on Earth, maybe I can't complete the revision of the Antitrust Act, but there are only a few people on the planet who are more likely to complete the revision of the Antitrust Act than me! ā
"Okay, you can wait to see the news come out right away!" Ernesven finished speaking and disappeared from the hologram.
