Chapter 122: The Victim

For example, after being played by Japan as an idiot, the federal government's first reaction was to convince the entire nation that the other side was playing all Americans as idiots, and not just dull and redundant federal government officials as idiots.

Therefore, almost overnight, the domestic television network quickly spread the atmosphere of hostility towards Asian countries, whether it is CBS, ABS, NBC, or Murdoch's FOX, Turner's CNN, TNT, or Tommy's BT TV network, VOX news network, during this time, they all cooperate with the federal government to broadcast a variety of programs that can negatively affect Asian countries, including dramas, movies, documentaries and even discriminatory talk shows, and even various newspapers have hostile reports and various discriminatory satirical cartoons.

It's not that the TV moguls who don't have the iron to cooperate, for example, Turner Sr. refused to do such a thing in the first place, and he believes that the main reason for being teased is that the Republican government's response is like that of an otter, and has nothing to do with other factors.

At this moment when it is necessary to emphasize awareness propaganda, he is not afraid of death to stand up, and everyone, including Tommy, can only support him mentally, and then watch the three TV networks owned by Turner Sr. be found by the FCC to find out various problems, and express to the outside world that he is ready to fine the three TV networks that Turner holds a total of more than 7 million.

This made the elder Turner immediately calm down, and directly canceled the domestic environmental protection documentary that was broadcast before, and instead played the documentary about Pearl Harbor and the Pacific War in World War II against Japanese fascism.

Of course, this kind of hostile propaganda is mainly concentrated in the two countries of China and Japan, and as for South Korea, which is also involved in some of the cooperation, it has not been greatly affected, and according to Tommy's information, South Korea was slightly intimidated by the United States, so it obediently disclosed the content of the trilateral cooperation between China, Japan, and South Korea to the United States, and suspended the cooperation, in exchange for American politicians admitting in front of the camera that South Korea has replaced Japan as the most important ally of the United States in Asia.

After South Korea did this, Tommy's greatest pleasure was to be able to sit in front of his television and watch the Japanese news commentary programs across the ocean, in which the Japanese used almost every vicious word imaginable on South Korea, to the effect that Japan was trying to get rid of the United States as an economic colony and was working tirelessly to achieve this, while South Korea was proud to be an American colony and did not hesitate to harm or even betray other countries in Asia. Some excited people who visited Japan even roared that it would only after the United States dropped atomic bombs on its territory in the future that South Korea understood how shameless and stupid it was to betray China and Japan at this moment.

A week after learning the news of Sino-Japanese cooperation, then Japanese Prime Minister Uno Sosuke was ousted by a scandal and replaced with a new prime minister named Toshiki Umibe.

Uno Sosuke's scandal was not worth mentioning, it was nothing more than that he had an extramarital affair with a geisha, but after the breakup, he didn't give the geisha a hush money according to the rules, in fact, not to pay the hush money is not because he wants to repay the debt, but because this guy is too incorruptible to pay the money, so he can only keep defaulting.

Because the geisha called Nakanishi Mitsuko is a national treasure-level Oiran, according to the rules, the hush money is a lot of money, and Uno Munesuke can't take it out at all, and he can come to power mainly because of poverty.

Suddenly, the Japanese people found it too difficult to find a politician with a clean net worth, and finally carefully selected and screened many times before selecting Munesuke Uno, who was not involved in the black gold scandal, whose accounts were checked countless times, and who had not saved much, to replace the former prime minister who resigned as the 75th prime minister of Japan.

It can be said that a large part of the reason why the Japanese elected him to power was that they felt that he was not so greedy.

Originally, his peach-colored scandal had been reported in Japan long before he came to power, but the Japanese people didn't care about it at all, and even felt that the newspaper was making a big fuss, after all, compared with dozens of politicians who collected astronomical amounts of black money, the affair of a poor politician and a well-known geisha was not worth mentioning.

The reason why it can cause a sensation is all thanks to the American "Washington Post" and VOX News Network, the Tokyo office of the American "Washington Post" got the opportunity to interview the geisha through some channels, in line with the principle of not wasting, the "Washington Post" not only published an exclusive interview with the scandalous heroine Mitsuko Nakanishi in its own newspaper, but also introduced it to VOX News Network, so that the female geisha named Nakanishi Mitsuko showed her face in front of the people of various countries around the world, and the two unscrupulous media used words such as deception and seduction, successfully obtained a large amount of detailed information about the relationship between the two from the mouth of Nakanishi Photon, and directly chose to make it public, without any regard for the privacy of the other party.

The most important thing is that both the Washington Post and VOX News Network have replaced the word hush money with a breakup fee, which is the most fatal blow to Uno Sosuke, if it is a hush money, it shows that the man pays in exchange for the other party as a geisha, and will not disclose this relationship with himself, and the Japanese geisha industry has always had this tradition of breaking up and offering hush money, Uno Sosuke does not pay hush money, and it is normal for most people to listen to it, after all, not everyone is a big man with a net worth of hundreds of millions and can give a large sum of moneyIn particular, geisha are also of high grade, and the more well-known geisha they are, the higher the fee they receive.

However, both the Washington Post and the Vox television network replaced the word with a break-up fee, deliberately giving viewers and readers the illusion that the man Sosuke Uno had played the Japanese national treasure Geisha Shiro for several months, and after playing it was over, he didn't pull it out.

This is simply an unreasonable act for the Western people, the American people are not exclusive to the ambiguous affairs of politicians and women, from Roosevelt after World War II, Alhower, to Kennedy, which president does not have some lace news, but no matter how much lace news, there has never been a situation where women do not pull out a dime, so Uno Sosuke's bad behavior shocked a large number of people in Western countries, and the head of state of a country is so shameless, The Japanese just chose such a shameless bastard to represent their national image?

Subsequently, other well-known American newspapers and periodicals followed up and reported, and then formed a public opinion reversal, forming a trend in Japan, making more and more Japanese people dissatisfied, believing that Uno Sosuke had ruined the country's international image, and finally Uno could only choose to take the blame and resign.

The so-called victim, the female geisha Mitsuko Nakanishi, actually tried to contact the Washington Post and VOX News Network after seeing the report, thinking that the wording of the news report was problematic, and the editing completely distorted the original intention of her voice, but this time, both the newspaper and the TV station ignored her and did not give her a chance to speak again, after all, they just wanted to give Japan a parent-child lesson to listen to Dad.

Or rather, she was already a victim from the moment the American media found her.

How can American newspapers and television networks care about whether or not they distort the original intention of a Japanese woman, so the result is that the Japanese prime minister who played the United States stepped down, and that unlucky geisha was hated by the Japanese people and boycotted by the geisha industry, thinking that she had made Japan lose face in the world, and even some extremists made her commit suicide to apologize, and even her children announced in the newspapers that they would sever ties with her.

"I heard your laughter right outside the door, and honestly, I can't even remember the last time I had such a hearty laugh." Just as Tommy was laughing from time to time as he watched the Japanese news program playing on the conference room TV, a hearty voice came from the direction of the doorway.

Tommy turned his head to look over, then immediately stood up, greeted the few people who had been brought in by Sophia, and stretched out his hand to the tall German old man who walked in first: "Your Excellency Shriver, what a surprise, because Mr. Beam didn't mention that you would come from New York." ”

"Maria is about to give birth, she has been staying with my wife and me in New York for a while, and this time I took Mr. Binne's private jet to take her back to Los Angeles for the prenatal check-up that I had made an appointment, and I just heard that our young man was going to do something, and I thought, as a shareholder, that I should occasionally sit down and chat with young people, so that my brain does not lack exercise and shrink early." The old man, whom Tommy called His Excellency Shriver, said with a smile.

Sargent Shriver is the real California investor behind Tommy, or rather, is a recognized representative of a group of Californian billionaires who invest in Tommy, yes, although Shriver lives in New York for a long time, he is a bunch of big guys in California, KeyBank, VOX and many Internet projects can get timely financial support, basically from Shriver's decision, and even KeyBank can do some dirty small business in Africa, the French backyard, has not yet been hit by the French, Also thanks to Shriver's influence in France.

The 73-year-old is a former U.S. ambassador to France, former director of the White House Economic Office, a member of the Board of Directors of the Bank of California, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Bank of the United States West, a subsidiary of the Bank of California, a lifelong partner of the White Shoes Law Firm in New York, the law firm of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver and Jacobson, the brother-in-law of President Kennedy, the largest international cultural infiltration and espionage organization in the United States, and the founder of the American Peace Corps.

Normally, he should have been the heir to the political legacy after the death of the Kennedy brothers, because he had enough influence between the two parties and had international popularity, and he himself thought so, so he ran for vice president in '72 and prepared to run for president in '76, but the matriarch of the Kennedy family, his mother-in-law, Rose Kennedy, insisted that his youngest son, Edward Kennedy, who became the majority whip of the US Senate at the age of thirty-seven, inherit all this.

Even if many peripheral members of the Kennedy family in the political arena at that time told Mrs. Rose that because of the previous drunk driving scandal that led to the death of the girl in the same car, Edward Kennedy had almost lost his road to the presidency, and Shriver was the best choice for the Kennedy family.

It's a pity that the old-fashioned Irish matriarch didn't listen to the advice of the servants, and Edward Kennedy did lose the position of the Senate whip as those loyal ministers expected, and then completely lost the hearts and minds of the Democratic Party because of his refusal to accept the Democratic Party's call to run for vice president in '72, and the Democrats chose a better image replacement Jimmy Carter, and in 1976, brother-in-law Sargent Shriver and brother-in-law Ted Kennedy became opponents in the '76 presidential election party primary. It's not so much that Shriver wants to run for president, but rather that Sargent Shriver has completely dissociated himself from the Kennedy family, who had served him for more than four decades.

After the breakup, Shriver then used his previous experience as ambassador to France and his connections to be hired as CEO of the Bank of California in the United States when BNP Paribas established the Bank of California, and moved his work to the West, which had no connection with the Kennedy family, and later led the acquisition of the Bank of the West and became the chairman of the board of directors of the Bank of the West.

Today, most of his investment business is concentrated in California.

Uh, by the way, Shriver's daughter, Maria Shriver, is now a news presenter on Tommy's VOX television network and is currently on maternity leave, and her husband is called Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Walking in the door after Shriver was Stephen's father, Pete Bene, who was Tommy's closest uncle in California, Tommy and Pete Ben hugged warmly: "Long time no see, dear Uncle Pete, have you received the gifts I gave you and Mrs. Pete?" I promise, it was the best Cuban silk scarf and cigar you could buy in Miami. ”

Tommy is much closer to Stephen's father, Tommy has been in the beginning of many businesses in recent years, on the surface, Stephen is busy, but in fact, behind the scenes, this old man helps him to weave contacts and find investment, Sargent Shriver was introduced to Tommy by Pete Binn, both of them worked in the Kennedy administration and later the Lyndon Johnson administration, one as assistant health secretary, the other as director of the White House Economic Office, and the two also promoted the establishment of Special Olympics together, and have a deep friendship.

Pete Pen patted Tommy on the back and said with a smile: "How should I answer, the honest answer is that before I could taste it, I was transferred to someone else by my wife, who was worried that I was hurt by tobacco, the silk scarf is very beautiful, she likes it very much, let me thank you, but she will also remember the cigar thing, let you be careful." ”

At the end was Stephen Bing, who was as well-behaved as a little boy facing a priest, Tommy and he waited for the two old men to sit down before they sat down at the conference table together, and Shriver sat down and looked at the Japanese news on the TV, and asked Tommy curiously, "You just laughed at this?" I thought your favorite rugby team won. ”

"No, I'm happy about the other piece of news, New York's number one litigator, Roy Cohen, has finally passed away, and I feel creepy at the thought of this combination of Roy Cohen and Rupert Murdoch, and now the symptoms are completely gone." Tommy heard Shriver's question, picked up the remote control and put the TV on silent, and said with a smile.

Shriver pretended to be surprised and said, "Isn't Roy's judicial terrorist dead for a long time, I remember Stephen telling me that you told him that sooner or later you would find a group of men who like to be and infected with AIDS to play games with that number 0." ”

Tommy's Roy Cohen can be said to be famous or notorious, at the age of 21, he inherited his father's career as a prosecutor, and once set off a terrible McCarthyism and lavender panic in the United States with Senator McCarthy in the fifties, after McCarthy lost power, Cohen returned to New York as a lawyer until his death, because of the loss of his political life, Cohen can be said to have given up the Sven disguise of a lawyer, and perfectly played a mad lawyer, in the first few years when he returned to New York as a lawyer, in order to win the case, instructing their investigators to steal evidence, extort clients, intimidate witnesses, defraud, fabricate false testimony, tamper with testimony, and even bribe judges.

He was even able to drive a car in the city of New York to stop the other witness's car on the spot and intimidate.

The reason why he dared to be so unscrupulous, not only because he was a lawyer, but also because his father Albert Cohen was a judge of the Supreme Court of New York State, the father-son combination was almost a perfect match, which also made Cohen's victory rate in New York almost close to 100%, from the New York Senate and House of Representatives, to the five major families of the New York mafia are almost all his clients, and he also served as the personal legal adviser to the presidents Nixon and Reagan, which made him rampant in the New York judicial circles, known as the king of New York.

The first thing Murdoch did in the layout of his business in the United States was to invite Cohen to serve as his personal legal counsel in the United States with a high profile and high salary, and Cohen's reward was to help Murdoch and President Reagan quickly complete the political and business relationship, so that Murdoch's business quickly began in the United States.

So Tommy said that the combination of Roy Cohen and Rupert Murdoch is creepy, and he is definitely not joking, the death of many American newspapers after being targeted by Murdoch is that Roy Cohen first finds the problems of the newspaper group, and then excavates and expands it, and when the boss is anxious, Murdoch plays a helpful and good Samaritan on the stage, and the two sides join forces to swallow each other.

Fortunately, this guy contracted AIDS because he liked to do it, and even if he tried all the drugs on the market to carry HIV, he couldn't continue to live.

"Stephen! What did you say to Lord Shriver? When the fuck did I say I was going to find ......" Tommy heard Shriver say that the other party's death was related to him, and immediately glanced at Stephen angrily, and then helplessly explained to the old man: "It has nothing to do with me, I can't ask Roy Cohen which ass that control freak has to fuck, I don't have the ability, and I don't have that kind of interest, I can only say that Roy Cohen met a few faggots with bad health at a bad time and on a bad occasion, and everything was arranged by God." ”

Shriver laughed when he heard Tommy's defense: "Of course, kid, everything is God's arrangement, Murdoch's personal legal counsel is now replaced by Frank Intemeier, who was born in an American judicial family, compared to Cohen, it really relieved everyone, if you need legal support, my firm should not be scared to take orders now." ”

"Tommy, let's talk about what you need help with." Compared with Shriver, Pete Binn is a Jew who is more serious and practical, and rarely wastes time on jokes, seeing that Shriver and Tommy, two Germans, are ready to continue chatting about Roy Cohen's ass, he took the initiative to interrupt the conversation and laughter between the two.

Tommy didn't rush to speak, but turned his head to look at the door first, and through the glass, he could see that Page was outside guarding the door of the conference room, and Sophia had already left to do other work, and there was no one around:

"I'm going to take advantage of this government-driven wave to attack Murdoch, and I've made some preparations for that, and we all know that if I attack Murdoch, there will definitely be politicians who have received Murdoch's checks to come out and speak up, whether Republican or Democratic, there are a lot of politicians who have taken his checks, and I've done surveys, from the president, down to the mayor, very much, so if I don't want to be scolded by those people, I have to make them understand that it's wise to shut up and stay silent. To this end, I prepared a small bait, ready to throw out to fish, lure politicians who are eager to jump out to help Murdoch speak out and earn checks, and then select one of the politicians who jumped out, and use a thunderous blow to kill him, completely ruining him and ruining his reputation, so that other politicians who are ready to continue to help Murdoch cast a mouse trap and learn to shut up. ”

"You mean, you want to talk to me about what kind of bait is easier for fish to bite?" Pete Lane nodded in satisfaction when he heard Tommy's words, and then asked rhetorically.

In fact, his son Stephen is already very good, at least compared to those guys in New York who have been reduced to relying on family trusts to receive pocket money every month and insist on calling themselves celebrities and celebrities, the 600 million assets left by his father to Stephen have now grown to 900 million, and the investment is concentrated in emerging industries such as computers and the Internet, although Pete Lane does not have a full-time business, but he understands that if emerging industries break out, asset appreciation will be very terrifying, and the Internet era is coming, It is impossible to estimate how much his son's investment will turn into by then, so most of the time, he looks at his son very pleasing to the eye.

Most of the time, it refers to the time when there is no Tommy to make a comparison, and once Tommy is present, Pete has the illusion that his son and Tommy are as casual and simple as a prize for credit card points.

Listening to Tommy's business tactics at the moment, you know that this should not be a problem for a young American in his twenties to think about at all, he wants to avoid Murdoch's behind-the-scenes supporters jumping out before trying to start the war, and he wants to use this trick to make those politicians even if they continue to support Murdoch, they can only continue to do it behind the scenes, and dare not jump to the front of the stage.

"No, what I want to talk about is that the fish that bites the hook is better from the Democratic Party." Tommy looked at Pete Binn: "Because at this time, we can't provoke the Republican Party and tie it up completely with Murdoch, we have to divide them, so we can only choose a ...... that is easier to control"

"Victim."

Hearing Tommy's words, Stephen's face changed, but Pete Lane and Sargent Shriver's eyes lit up for a moment.
