Chapter 329: Global Turmoil (I)

"Was it a terrorist attack or a natural disaster?"

"6/25 repeats 911 again?"

"Attacked by nuclear weapons?"

"The Big Bang? The city of St. Annu razed to the ground? ”

"The United States has suffered another terrorist attack, and the suspected city of Santa Annu has been reduced to ashes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"U.S. officials say the June 25 incident may cause more than 100,000 casualties."

"What is the U.S. government hiding? The media are not allowed to enter the city limits of St. Annou? ”

The New York Times, USA Today Morning Post, The Wall Street Journal, CCTV International Website, Xinhua News Agency, The Guardian, The Times, Lianhe Zaobao, and news media around the world all reported on the 25 June incident as a major event.

The United States, Australia, Switzerland, Spain, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Moscow, Japan, China, and even small countries as far away as Africa have been featured in the news media in photographs or videos of the city of St. Annu being "razed to the ground."

"Ellen, you're really famous this time."

Outside the White House, the lights are bright, countless media vans are almost blocking the avenue, and the old security regulations have lost their binding force, and the police can only try to block the White House as much as possible, and restrain reporters from approaching without a large number of journalists.

The police and security staff were polite to journalists, but to ordinary people preparing to demonstrate, riot police had erected their shields and stood ready for the increasingly dire situation.

Of course, no one dared to be violent against these ordinary people who demonstrated the demonstrations, and a considerable number of them were relatives or friends of the former city of St. Annu, but because they feared for the safety of their relatives and friends, they were stopped outside the city of Sant'Anou and were not allowed to enter without permission, and they came to Washington in anger to participate in the demonstration.

Hearing the taste of envy and jealousy in her friend Nanna's tone, Ellen sneered inwardly, and still did not reveal her thoughts on the surface, she wiped the dust with a tissue, and then threw the waste paper to the assistant next to her, and said casually: "I just have a keen 'sense of smell' as a reporter, as long as you also study more, maybe one day you can have such an opportunity." ”

In the past, although Ellen was the governor's daughter and her status in the newspaper was not low, this was undoubtedly not her real ability in the eyes of others, and she was not respected. However, this time, with Ellen exposing such a big news, the newspaper took the lead in one fell swoop, and even the newspaper owner praised it.

As a "friend" who had always secretly looked down on Ellen before, Nanna looked at the tone of Ellen's speech, jealous and angry, but she had no choice but to change the topic and said, "Ellen, I don't know if you have a way to go in again?" ”

Going in again?

When Ellen heard this, her face sank, and she didn't want to go in again. In fact, if she hadn't taken the opportunity to report the footage back to the company and quickly get it on the Internet, the footage would have been destroyed with the slightest hesitation. If I were a journalist, I wouldn't have been able to act with the National Guard without the identity of the daughter of the local governor, and I certainly wouldn't have been able to shoot that kind of picture.

However, that's all there is to it.

As soon as the news was exposed yesterday, she was stopped when she tried to go in, even if she indicated the identity of the governor's daughter, it made the interceptors indifferent, and it was not the National Guard who carried out the blockade, and the federal troops who came quickly blocked all the entrances and exits around the area, and pulled out a blockade line of more than ten miles around the mountains.

No media interviews will be accepted.

This is the rhetoric of the head of the garrison.

Ellen is not a fool who hits his head on the bottom, and after thinking about it, he called the editor-in-chief of the newspaper and obtained permission to go to Washington. Sure enough, the most well-known news outlets in the United States have gathered here, and it is foreseeable that in the next few days, there will be follow-up media from all over the world. As a matter of fact, the official and well-known media of various countries have always had permanent correspondents in Washington, and naturally they will not let go of such news, and they are swarming to find news.

It's a pity that the official mouth of the United States is very tight, and just when these media are trying their best to find out something inside, Ellen came.

In the past, let alone Ellen herself, even the newspaper she stayed at was just a tabloid in a southern city that was not famous, and almost no one knew about it when she left that city. But now it's different, as the first reporter to issue the June 25 incident, and the only one to go in, except for those survivors who escaped from St. Anou, her newsworthiness is naturally not small.

Soon, Ellen enjoyed being interviewed.

After a full day, Ellen confirmed that her face had been brushed by various media in the United States before declining the request for a follow-up interview.

The advantage of this is not only to increase one's popularity, but also to cut off the follow-up "freedom of action" and "shut up".

She's no ordinary journalist! Even though she had a discordant relationship with her father, who was governor, she grew up in a political family, and knew that after this kind of thing happened, Washington was very likely to temporarily restrict her freedom of life and the right to "speak". Unless she brushes her face in various media as quickly as possible, and clarifies her words, then Washington will have to give up the practice of restricting her freedom.

Her idea was confirmed.

According to her careful observation, yesterday's survivors were tightly controlled, and the few survivors interviewed also disappeared one after another, apparently because the government quickly controlled their freedom of movement. is the only one who avoided the same fate because of her identity as the governor's daughter and a series of things she did later.

"It's impossible to go in again."

Ellen lowered her voice, "This matter is not so simple, the White House will not release the truth so quickly, you look at their approach, they must have found something there, and they will block the entire scene." ”

If it was a simple terrorist attack, the government would not have done anything to deny any news media in.

Then this abnormal performance is obviously unusual.

"You're right, God, they must be hiding something."

Nanna "gritted her teeth", obviously very angry at the government's concealment, "We must dig out the truth and restore the matter to the whole country, we can't let the American people be deceived, oh my God, what the hell is the White House thinking, more than 100,000 people?" How dare they hide it? Are they crazy? That's not a few people, a dozen people, it's a city! ”

In normal thinking, President Barack is undoubtedly taking a huge political risk by doing this, not only for himself, but also for the White House.

He must be in pain too, obviously in a few months, he will be out of here, but he didn't expect such a terrible thing to happen at such a time.

Ellen looked at the crowd in the dark, and at the crowd of demonstrators that were gathering in the distance of the road, "This is just the beginning. ”

If not handled properly, this risky and abnormal behavior of the government could lead to national unrest and nationwide demonstrations. And because of the possibility of suspected terrorist attacks, it is more likely to involve major countries in the world, and there are consequences that affect the whole body economically, politically, and militarily.

"Hey, Ellen, look, the president looks like he's going to speak on TV."

As soon as Ellen's voice fell, the news from Nanna's earphones shocked her body.

Not only did she get the news, but the crowd around her rioted and quickly ran towards the news van.

"Quick, let's go too!"

Regardless of continuing to gather outside the gate of the White House compound, Nanna and Ellen also ran to the news car rented by their newspaper office, where several colleagues were already staring at the TV screen, watching the face of President Barack appear on the TV footage.

The next night, and when the world was shaken, at 8:30 p.m. Washington time, Black President Barack addressed the nation in a televised address at the White House, following a press conference by the US Secretary of State in the afternoon. (To be continued.) )
