Chapter 187: The Power of the Consortium

The media in Australia was extremely excited about the topic of merchant ships, and they couldn't stop reporting on it like a hormone, and every detail was magnified ten times and a hundred times, and the rhythm of the people was completely driven. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The government is speaking on the basis that there is no evidence of guilt, but the media is recognizing that the merchant ship has no intention of violating the rules. Radically different starting points will create a myriad of disagreements.

The Australian government's explanation is pale and can easily be misinterpreted and ridiculed by the media.

The government said that it was waiting for the results, and the media accused the government's supervisory organs of being completely unauthoritative, and that they had inspected the merchant ships that had passed without errors.

The ruling party hastened to justify that the action was initiated by the United States, and that it was only assisting. The media understood that in the Australian waters, which are only 400 nautical miles from the mainland, the country has completely lost its law enforcement capabilities, and suggested that it be renamed the "American Sea".

The relevant statements of the maritime department and the Ministry of the Interior were all interpreted as the loss of sovereignty, and the ruling party's pro-US policy was only exchanged for a great irony of "you can check you if you want to check you" at the end of the day.

The violent seizure of merchant ships on the high seas, which established freedom of navigation on the high seas, by foreign troops, would not be justified in the slightest way.

Strictly speaking, merchant ships sailing on the high seas are equivalent to their own territory, and this rash intervention by the Americans is an act of blatant invasion of territory.

Although the Americans have negotiated with the Australian government, they have also obtained consent. But who will listen to your explanation at this time? It has been completely disrupted by the media.

This has become a contradiction of "violating the dignity of the country", and the media stands on the commanding heights and waives a stick, and any party that wants to refute it will cause a commotion.

The Australian ruling party feels bad, a large number of voices from the people are refuting, and relevant media and intellectuals are also adding fuel to the fire.

At this time, the government began to interview these fast-paced media, asking them to pay attention to their words and not to promote and report on certain hot topics.

However, this is exactly what they wanted, focusing on the domestic political parties.

The media controlled by the consortium has long had a way out, and is not afraid of these punishments and warnings at all. The news of the day was published: "Is the free world no longer free to speak?" 》

"Centralization and the Assault on Free Speech, This Scene is a Regression of a Democratic Society. Makudoku. The advent of the era of cutting! 》

"The media with a conscience has the right to let the people know everything, and we will never succumb to power!" 》

Seeing these boiling news, An Yang laughed: "This money is really not spent in vain!" In the end, it is a capitalist society, and interests determine the camp. ”

Morris also smiled: "The people are now very much against the inaction of the ruling party, and when the results of the merchant ship inspection come out, the public sentiment will explode." ”

An Yang saw another angle: "This incident has given me an important reminder, we must firmly grasp the right to speak, this is a sharp blade that kills people without seeing blood." ”

Morris nodded: "The consortium has been expanding its media holdings, and we have also maintained good cooperation with intellectual figures with many supporters. ”

"Today we are happy to work with public intellectuals, and tomorrow we have to be wary of whether these people will turn against us for profit," Anyan reminded. ”

Morris, of course, has a backhand: "We control most of the media, and it's hard to get their voices heard if we agree with them. Once we ban it, they can't make waves without the internet. ”

"Take 10,000 steps back and say, if the other party dares to go out and tear our faces, we will use the power of the dark side. They want to be reasonable? Then we'll talk to them about fists! The leash is always in our hands! ”

An Yang was satisfied: "Very good. ”

……

The topic of the seizure of merchant ships continues to ferment.

The media even used fixed-wing aircraft to shoot in the open sea, and after careful preparation, photos of the merchant ship alone on the sea facing two unreasonable warships were published.

The crew was treated unfairly, and the miserable side was also filmed; Coupled with a particularly sensational text, the domestic virgin are high. It's tidal.

Some people began to hold up signs to protest in front of government agencies, and some people marched in front of US embassies and consulates, and any explanation from the government was insulted.

The current ruling party is really a wrong step, a wrong step. Now no matter what they say or do, they will step on landmines, they will be led by the media, and the people will misunderstand.

The Australian Prime Minister is already regretting why he agreed to let the United States take charge in the first place! Even if you want to investigate, it has to be the Australian government that dominates everything! Now the water that was spilled out can't be recovered.

If he knew that even if the Australian government was leading, the conspirators behind the scenes could find countless spray points and drive the topic to the same fire, he might be more at ease.

But now it's too late, and the ruling party has made such an unforgivable mistake in the run-up to the election, and the competing party will certainly not miss it, and the party, led by Simon Fisher, will start the infinite ridicule.

He declared that the media must have the right to speak freely, and the people in a democratic society must also have the right to know everything, and first stand on the same line with the masses to defend freedom.

He talked about the idea of the Liberal Party, and they would certainly not sit idly by, and if the Americans dared to do so, they would send more forces to protect their merchant ships than to leave them at sea for three days.

In conclusion, the hard-liner Fisher emphasized: "If a country has no backbone and does not dare to defend its sovereignty, what kind of country can it talk about?" My party and I will not give in! I will do everything I can to regain my sovereignty and save our humiliated compatriots! ”

Fisher's tough voice won the support of countless people, and on the fifth day, under the unremitting efforts of the media to exaggerate him, and under the pressure of public opinion, the United States finally backed down and was willing to let the freighter dock at the port of Perth in Western Australia and release the crew.

On the day the ship returned to the port of Perth, Simon Fisher also visited all the crew of the Fox in the media spotlight, welcomed them home, and said that he would fight for the compensation they deserved.

The media filmed this scene, the camera deliberately avoided the government personnel next to him, and the next day the newspaper also showed how Fisher was close to the people, how he worked hard, and how he welcomed the fox home on the spot.

The popularity of the Liberal Party is increasing in this event.

Of course, this is not enough, and the consortium is pressing forward step by step, and it is bound to give the ruling party a combination of punches.

The next morning, Paul Jones, CEO of AY Group, the parent company behind the shipping company, issued a statement.

He insisted on the innocence of the freighter still being inspected, stressing: "This move by the United States has undermined our group's friendship with American companies, and we will join forces with other trading partners to boycott the relevant American companies." ”

Paul Jones is Martin Morris's number one confidant and a core member of the consortium. His remarks represent the "civil sanctions" initiated by all the companies under the consortium.

The group talked about "sanctions" is a very helpless move, and the sanctions are more implemented by the state, but Jones is very dissatisfied and disappointed with the government in his words.

Of course, this dissatisfaction and disappointment have also been fully interpreted by the media: if a country cannot even protect its own corporate interests, why should tax-paying enterprises believe it?

As if in response to this voice, entrepreneurs and economic media continue to talk about inside information: the Australian consortium (Ann's Consortium) intends to transfer the business location of some enterprises.

First of all, this will have a significant impact on the local economy of Australia, because the consortium has penetrated into every part of the Australian economy and affected the whole body.

Second, this will inevitably affect the policies of the Australian consortium, which may lead to layoffs, the welfare of employees may fluctuate, and the losses suffered will force them to stop social welfare.

The foundation has a lot of public welfare projects in Australia, such as support for children's and women's rights, donations to public facilities, scholarships for outstanding students, and charitable funds for poor families.

These benefits, they may also be removed.

When the masses learn that their interests will be affected, they can no longer be calm!

The interests of the large companies in front of them have been violated, the government is incompetent and weak, and there may still be some people who watch the excitement and have a clear head. But the facts tell everyone that the big companies have been damaged, and the benefits promised to you will be canceled.

The anger of the people immediately erupted!

Marches and protests were launched in major cities, and people took to the streets to complain about their dissatisfaction with the government; Some people directly spoke ill of the ruling party on the Internet, and some people clamored for them to get out of power and replace them with tougher ones.

The media continues to report on the protests that have swept the country, especially among the middle and lower classes, and the damage to their interests is the most obvious and the most easily stimulated.

These people are the majority in the country, and most of them are now extremely dissatisfied with the ruling party, and the shouts of resignation can immediately drown out the government, and popular support has plummeted to an all-time low.

On the contrary, the hardliners, led by Simon Fisher, began to burst into bright spots. Although the Liberal Party is more concerned about the interests of business owners, through this incident, people have realized that business owners have suffered, and they ordinary people should not think about it.

The loss of social welfare is relatively light, and the large-scale unemployment after the transfer of enterprises, economic setbacks, and soaring prices are the real disasters for the middle class. It means that you can no longer enjoy the comfortable life you used to have, and you have to work hard to keep yourself out of the elimination list.

Fischer just stood up and emphasized that he would negotiate with the representatives of the consortium to resolve the matter, and would use the power of the political party to better win the benefits for them and make up for their losses.

He will do everything in his power to retain these businesses. The media's interpretation is that only when Fisher gains the ruling power can he better implement all this and ensure the people's good life.

For a time, Fisher's voice reached an all-time high.
