Chapter 194: Mental Warfare
On the side of the Leo Consulate, the Central City Sheriff's Office and the Imperial Agents have teamed up to prepare a rescue plan. When the day came, the crisis that Viscount Iscoran had anticipated came.
In the previous attacks, Luke launched an attack on the new aristocratic forces, and the newspaper played a great role in guiding public opinion. This time, the new aristocrats did the same, and first released the news to the newspaper.
The attack on the Austrian consulate was a complete dereliction of duty on the part of the city's security services. It was the new head of the Central City Public Security Bureau, Xi Ze, who installed cronies and excluded dissidents, which made the security force in the central city more important.
Then there is the use of Nishizawa as a breakthrough point, a large amount of concentrated firepower, the resume of "human flesh" Nishizawa in the Xita City, saying that his qualifications and ability are completely incompetent for the post of the chief of public security in the central city. His ability to occupy a key position is entirely an abuse of power by someone in Parliament......
followed the rampant rumors, which made Nishizawa, who had not slept all night and stuck to the front line, extremely distressed. When he came to the temporary command post, he didn't see Viscount Iscoran, so he asked Luke, who was guarding here, "Inspector, where is Councilor Iscoran?" ”
Luke was drinking coffee and reading the newspaper, he asked Nishizawa to sit down before saying, "Speaker Grover called Iscollan to ask about the situation here. Seeing that you are not in a very good state, do you want to take a break, this incident is not something that can be solved in a day or two.
Since taking office, he has been dedicated to his duties, often busy until late at night, and has never missed work even if he is seriously injured. He knew that he was not qualified enough for such an important position, and what was in the newspaper today hit him very hard.
"Chief Inspector, the attack on the Leo consulate is a dereliction of duty. Last night I went to Mrs. Mihir's cocktail party, ignoring the arrangement of the inspection team for the evening. I...... I want to resign to Viscount Iscoran, maybe the city of Sita is the right fit for me. ”
Luke is well aware of the offensive power of this kind of public opinion violence when it is directed against an individual.
He put down the newspaper and said to Nishizawa, "Do you think that today's major newspapers are really targeting you when they publish editorials related to you in a centralized manner?" Don't take yourself so seriously, put yourself in the right position.
You can't bear the pressure to quit your job, which is what our opponents want to see the most, and it shows that you admit that you are not capable. They will take advantage of the situation to attack Lady Mihir, Viscount Iscoran, and then I, Lady Mihir, have put you in this position, with the approval of all of us. It's a very important position, it's the center of our fight against our opponents in the future, and you need to be very resilient to pressure. If just a few pieces of newspaper nonsense make you question yourself, it's too much to live up to our expectations of you.
"Chief Inspector, I understand what you're saying, but I feel like I'm too tired... Fear of doing something wrong every day. ”
"Nishizawa, you're afraid to do something wrong because you're an upright person, and that's one of the reasons we chose you. Another reason...... It's because Miss Sunny Sky ......"
Hearing the clear sky, Nishizawa instantly had a spirit: "I knew that I could become the summer chief of public security in the central city because of Miss Sunny Sky's recommendation, although Miss Clear Sky has never admitted it." ”
"Then do a good job in this position and don't disappoint Miss Weatherlight."
Sure enough, it would be better to move the clear sky out directly. Although Luke is reluctant to do this, in order to stabilize Nishizawa from doing stupid things, he can only take advantage of the clear sky.
Inspired by Nishizawa, he was full of energy and his whole body was full of strength: "Please rest assured, Chief Inspector, for the sake of Miss Sunny Sky, nothing can knock me down." ”
"Very energetic, go out and do your thing, read less newspapers. In the past few days, our confrontations with our opponents have mainly focused on the newspapers, and if you read too much, you will have high blood pressure. ”
Nishizawa strode away from the command post, and Luke continued to pick up the newspaper and read.
The new nobles have a strong learning ability, and they have also pinpointed their own key points with one blow. If Nishizawa can't withstand the pressure, his side will become very passive.
Now Nishizawa is stable, but he can't let the new nobles manipulate public opinion like this.
After a while, Viscount Iscoran arrived, and his face was not good, and it seemed that he had heard a lot of unpleasant words from Speaker Grover.
Arriving from the Empire early tomorrow morning, Speaker Grover has asked us to resolve the attack on the consulate before the ambassador arrives. Otherwise...... We will bear all the diplomatic consequences that will arise.
When Luke heard that Ambassador Leo was coming to Angry Waves, he said to Iscoran, "Do you think the diplomatic consequences of killing a consul are serious, or the diplomatic consequences of killing an ambassador are serious?" ”
Viscount Iscollan realized the seriousness of the matter: "Chief Inspector, you mean... The Windwatcher will assassinate Ambassador Leo. ”
Luke considered the plans that Pan would make, whether he expected Ambassador Leo to come to Fury Waves City or not, and he would definitely do it when he knew the news.
"You immediately take someone to intercept Ambassador Leo's airship. If you can do it secretly, you should be able to set a trap for the windwatcher by posing as the stinky ambassador. Just let Ambassador Leo know that we saved him, and no matter how bad the state is, it's on the bottom line that we can bear.
Viscount Iscolan knew how important it was to save Ambassador Leo, and he had to go himself: "Yes, I'll go back and gather the Thorn Blade now, and I will do this well." ”
Time is urgent, and it is not a simple matter to intercept an airship from the air halfway.
Viscount Iskoran immediately went out.
Zhanke contacted Congressman Ibur to hold a press conference at which he would give a detailed account of the attack on the Leo consulate.
The time was set for three o'clock in the afternoon.
The sheriff and Imperial agents continued to surround the entire area of the fog, and no one was allowed to approach it. All parties in the city wanted to know what was going on inside the Rio consulate, but none of them could get any accurate information.
I can only wait for the press conference of the newspaper to be held by the chief inspector of Yangxing.
The wait was long for everyone, including those of the Scottish aristocratic forces, who also did not know what was going on inside the Leo Consulate. Luke's information masking tactics were very successful, and the new aristocratic forces were agitated until three o'clock in the afternoon, and all sides were waiting quietly.
When the time came, Luke appeared on the steps in front of the city hall building. Imperial agents have already sealed off this place early and set up sound equipment. Newspaper reporters gathered at the foot of the steps, and people from all walks of life who wanted to get information stood around.
Luke carefully glanced at the people in the audience, judging in his heart their respective identities and the forces they represented.
He believed that Pan's people must have been among them.
This press conference of the newspaper was also held for Pan.
Luke stood in front of the microphone, Shelley stood behind him with his hand on the handle of his gun, watching the people around him vigilantly.
Gentlemen and gentlemen. I am the Chief Inspector of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau's newly established General Intelligence Bureau in Angry Waves, and the attack on the Consulate of the Republic of Leo in Angry Waves is handled by the General Intelligence Bureau of Angry Waves in order to eliminate unnecessary tension, I will inform the public of the details of the attack.
I have already met the attackers and negotiated with them several times.
The other party claimed to be the Morning Breeze of the Kingdom of Leo, and the attack on the consulate of the Republic of Rio was a war to overthrow the current Rio regime. After my negotiations, the kidnappers promised not to escalate the incident as much as possible, so I asked the citizens not to panic, but also not to approach the blockade area.
At the moment the abductees are safe, and I have met them, as well as with Consular Officer Leo, and I have received authorization from the Consular Officer......
Luke shows the consulate's seal to prove the credibility of his words.
When are you going to rescue the trapped people in the Leo Consulate? If it can't be resolved in time, or if Consul Leo is killed,
The external results of the Republic of Rio have been released, and they are not our preferred solution. We will try our best to resolve this incident through negotiation and minimize casualties. And we've already had an Imperial agent come up with eight people, and Luke will introduce their names and their work in the Leo Consulate.
Everyone was thrilled to see someone who had been successfully rescued. Although there are only eight people, this is a good start and proves that the approach of the chief inspector of meteorites is effective.
A newspaper reporter asked: "Chief Inspector, when will the other hostages be rescued?" ”
Luke asked the agents to bring eight people down.
From my contacts with the kidnappers, they are poor people with blinded skin. Someone made them believe that the kingdom of Leo could be revived, and then they were sent to death in the city of angry waves. As long as relations between the Empire and the Republic of Leo do not deteriorate in any way as a result of this incident, then there is no point in organizing this attack.
I think that if they are made aware of the reality and the deception of the messenger of the Lord against them, they will lay down their arms and surrender.
This is the best result.
Of course, we also have a plan to rescue the hostages by force, and we will implement it only after negotiations have failed. ”
Luke's crisis public relations, while confronting the new aristocratic forces with public opinion, also revealed to Pan that "the lookouts in the Leo Consulate have the possibility of surrendering." ”
The release of the eight hostages may not have shaken Pan's confidence in the dead soldiers, but in the evening Luke announced that after another representation by him, the kidnappers in Leo's consulate had released ten people.
The chief inspector of the meteorite relied on negotiation to rescue eighteen people in one day, and tomorrow's newspaper will definitely be a big book. According to this trend, it seems that the kidnappers are definitely about to surrender.
At the beginning, Pan was still very confident in these dead soldiers, but seeing them release them twice in a row, he couldn't help but doubt the loyalty of his subordinates.
And if they really surrender......
The holy war for the restoration of the kingdom of Leo will become an international joke.
This must not be allowed to happen!
The lookouts in the Leo Consulate, what do they want to do at this time, the lookouts in the Leo Consulate are also very puzzled. After the Chief Inspector of Meteorite leaves, they prepare to face the sheriffs and Imperial agents of Raging Waves as they rush in.
It is necessary to kill the enemy to death to announce to the world the beginning of the holy war of restoration.
After three days of fighting, there must be a river of blood here.
But after waiting for a whole day, there was no movement outside. The sheriff and the Imperial agents surrounded the misty area impenetrable, but they only stayed outside the mist, not stepping inside.
The windwatchers in the fog did not dare to rush out.
They are completely enclosed in this small area, and no outside information can come in, and their information cannot be sent.
After another night, there was still no imaginary attack. And the windwatchers don't dare to have any slackness, this may be the tired tactics of the chief detective of the meteorite, when you are slack, the attack is always open, knowing that this tactic is extremely debilitating, but the windwatchers still endure the double exhaustion of mental and physical exhaustion, and wait in the fog.
When it was full of dawn, Luke made another announcement. After a long night of talking with the kidnappers, this time the kidnappers released fifteen hostages!
Talk all night, what needs to be talked about all night.
The fifteen hostages released by Wan show that the chief inspector of Meteorite has a very fruitful conversation with the kidnappers, and Pan is a little breathless.
The hostages have been released continuously, and more people have been released each time, what are those windwatchers trying to do? What did Meteorite talk to them about?
Pan wanted to get information about the inside of Leo's consulate, but the additional sheriffs and Imperial agents had expanded the blockade, and his men had no way to get close to the mist. And he couldn't risk his identity being revealed and go in and ask in person.
"Meteorite!" It was only after the confrontation with the falling star that Pan realized how powerful he was. He didn't even know who the mastermind behind the Wind Looker was, so he had already let himself be suspicious here Yin asked with concern at this time: "Pan, your heart is very confused, and what you just said is not a meteorite?"
Pan put down the newspaper in his hand and readjusted his mentality: "I just read in the newspaper that Inspector Meteorite persuaded the windwatchers in the Leo Consulate to release fifteen people.
Meteorite Detective De can do something unexpected. ”
Yin smiled and said:
What if the Meteorite Inspector doesn't do something unexpected. For the past two days, the whole city has been talking about the Leo Consulate incident, and everyone believes that Detective Meteor can convince the kidnappers to surrender and work a miracle once again.
Yin's confidence in the meteorite made Pan's face look very ugly, and he asked Yin, "Have you been to see the meteorite in the past two days?" ”
"No, the detective must be very busy with such a big case, so I better not bother him."
"I suggest you meet the Meteorite... The Windwatcher is a Leo man, and we used to be members of Leo's royal family. If Detective Meteor wants to convince the Windlookers to surrender, maybe we can help? ”
"Is that okay?" The sound was very happy and worried, and asked:
"We are the Glittering Gold, and we have nothing to do with the Leo royal family anymore." "You can give it a try, I hope Detective Meteorite can solve this problem sooner."
