Chapter 128: The Ambition of the Motherland at a Glance!
"Stalling with them and hoping that the CIA will arrive in time."
Just as Billy and the others were entangled with the New York police.
A news report about compound No. 5 instantly spread all over the major news media, and occupied the hot list of all social software, and the speed of public opinion fermentation is like pouring gasoline into a straw pile, and a spark drives a fire, spreading throughout the United States with the momentum of a prairie fire!
According to the CIA, they have the key evidence of Walter's crimes, and they will file criminal charges and civil lawsuits against Walter Group on charges of injecting children with illegal drugs.
It's hard to imagine that those superheroes are actually the products of the Walter Group, which is simply shocking and infuriating.
If the Watt Group is convicted, it means that [Superheroes are God's People] is a shocking scam that has been followed for more than half a century! I can't imagine how many babies died in this experiment, and did their parents know about it?
NBC will keep up with this creepy scandal. ”
In the living room of the villa, Xia Shang is enjoying breakfast in front of the TV, a sandwich, a thick-cut steak and a glass of pure milk.
After listening to the NBC report, he picked up the remote control and switched to several other channels, ABC, CNN, etc., these news media, as if they had agreed in advance, chased after Walter at the same time! Trying to spread the matter to the entire United States as quickly as possible.
To say that behind these news media, there is no force from the US government, Xia Shang does not believe it.
At this time, the TV screen shows the video of an interview with Maeve's father and other superhuman relatives.
"Queen Maeve's father and Starlight's mother have publicly stated that they are not aware of the existence of Compound Five, and they do not know if Walter has injected their children with Compound Five.
At present, Walter Group has not issued any announcement, and we hope that Walter can stand up and officially respond to this matter! ”
Starlight's mother and Queen Maeve's father see that something is wrong, and immediately cut himself and the Walter Company, and package himself as an unwitting victim.
At this time, public opinion on the Internet was in an uproar, and the masses were worried about whether their children had been injected with compound No. 5 by Walter, and for a while, Walter's stock price plummeted, and a red line close to vertical was shocking!
At this moment, Xia Shang's mobile phone on the coffee table suddenly vibrated violently.
Xia Shang picked it up and saw that the caller was Edgar, the president of Walter.
"Mr. Edgar, it's me, Jervis."
"Twenty minutes later, I'm going to have an emergency meeting, call all the executives of the PR department, come to the conference room for a meeting, and by the way, when you come to Water, remember to buy a copy of the New York Daily Journal, which has the reason for my meeting." With that, Edgar, who had a gloomy face, hung up the phone.
Later, on the way to the Waters Building, Xia Shang bought a copy of the New York Daily from a roadside newsstand.
When he returned to the car and unfolded the daily newspaper in his hand, he saw that the top one-third of the section was related to Walter, and the headlines in it were so exaggerated and exaggerated that it was no wonder that it attracted people's attention at the first time.
The first scandal in history! Count Walter's sins!
The CIA speaks out, is Walter really going to be finished?
The Children's Hospital is in cahoots with Walter to secretly create superhumans!
Many of the superhero's parents said they didn't know that they were the victims of the incident!
The end of the superhero industry is coming! Will Walter disappear into the dust of history?
…… These headlines and the content in them, without exception, are saying one thing, that is, Walter is finished! It's completely over!
As the saying goes, a whale dies, everything is born, and seeing that Walter is about to finish, some companies that compete with Walter immediately fall into a carnival.
When Xia Shang's pickup truck was parked downstairs in the Walter Building, a sharp-eyed reporter suddenly recognized that it was the car of Vice President Walter.
"That's Vought's vice president Jervis's car, let's stop him and don't let him run."
Seeing those reporters swarming towards him like zombies, Xia Shang couldn't help but squirt a dirty word: "Xie Te! ”
Fortunately, he reacted in time and drove the car into Walter's underground parking garage, and then through the elevator in the parking garage, he came to the lobby on the first floor of Walter.
I saw that the staff in the hall were all in a mess, and most of them looked nervous, like flies without their heads.
Until Xia Shang in a suit appeared.
only to stabilize the situation a little.
"Walter hired you, not to let you talk to each other, you are limited to three minutes to go back to your desk, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless." Xia Shang's indifferent eyes made the staff present lower their heads one after another.
Meanwhile.
In the Heroes Conference Hall on the ninety-ninth floor of the Walter Building, Edgar had already summoned the Super Seven for a meeting.
"I know I rarely come to the ninety-ninth floor, and I'm sorry about that, but a critical time like this one tends to wake us up, doesn't it? Please do not forget that we coexist in symbiosis with a great, harmonious and large company called Walter.
This is also the key to our problem, we need to come together, this must be our first priority, and this can change the current public opinion,"
The locomotive was a little puzzled by Edgar's words.
"Do you want us to arrest people? Catch all those who spread public opinion? Then you have to inform the PR and legal departments in advance, I don't want to be a street rat. The locomotive spread his hands and said he didn't want to help.
"There's no time." Before Edgar could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Queen Maeve on the side.
"I'm sorry, I don't think we need to wipe your ass."
Obviously, they were not as united as Edgar had imagined, and in the end it was the Motherland who said, "Well, we do have to be united when it counts." ”
Edgar just wanted to praise the motherland, but unexpectedly, the motherland's voice changed.
"You know, after all, it was Walter who raised us, not him." The Motherland stood up and pointed at Edgar and continued: "He never cared about us, he only regarded us as Walter's products, in that case, who cares if Walter lives or dies. ”
The motherland's speech made Edgar's face pale, and there was a hint of threat in his eyes: "I advise you to think carefully before you speak, and then think about it." ”
However, the Motherland did not heed his threats.
"It's not Walter who makes us, it's that we make Walt, and we superheroes are a family." At this time, the ambitions of the motherland are unobstructed, and in the eyes of the motherland, it doesn't matter whether Walter has Edgar or not, but the only thing that cannot be missing him is him.
The Storm Girl, who was sitting in the position of the originally invisible person, showed an expression that was not too big to see the excitement, she looked at the scene in front of her, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Bang bang bang!! There was a knock on the door, and seeing someone knocking on the door, Ashley in the conference room hurriedly opened the door, then turned to Edgar and said, "It's Mr. Jervais." ”
"Let him in." Edgar said in a deep voice.
"It seems that I came at the wrong time."
As soon as Xia Shang walked into the conference room, he could feel the extremely dull atmosphere in it.
"Listen, I'll take my family and get rid of those guys." After saying that, the motherland left the conference room with a cold face.
Subsequently, Starlight and the others also left one by one.
The Super Seven's blatant forcing the palace made Edgar feel very unhappy, but he knew that now was not the time to pursue it, and how to solve the problem of public opinion at present was the top priority.
"Inform the Public Relations Department, the Publicity Department, and the Legal Department to come here for a meeting."
Edgar took Xia Shang to his usual meeting hall.
"As you can see, Madeleine has been out of control since he died, and I should have shoved a remote-controlled bomb into his ass when he was young." Edgar, who was sitting in the first place, put on his rimless glasses and said with a blank face.
"Mr. President, do you remember Ryan?"
Xia Shang pulled away the chair next to Edgar's right hand and sat down, "It is precisely because of the extreme lack of love in the motherland that he will regard Madeleine as a sustenance, and now that Madeleine is dead, it is equivalent to losing the rope that binds him, so he will become difficult to control, and we only need to tie him a rope again."
He will become as obedient as before. ”
"Go on, I'm more interested in this topic." In the depths of Edgar's eyes, a trace of surprise flashed, but it was well concealed by him, and he was still expressionless, expecting Xia Shang's answer.
"Ryan, it's the new rope."
"What we have to do is to keep instilling the concept of Walter in Ryan's mind, as long as he is loyal enough to Walter, he can contain the motherland." Xia Shang smiled.
"Do you remember my plan? In response to this, I would like to set up a new department, the Superhero Education Department, and I already have a candidate for the minister, which is the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Moreland. ”
Mezmo's superpowers are overkill for snooping on intelligence.
Being able to peek into other people's hearts, know what the other party wants, what they desire, and then use human nature to subtly transform the other party, this is the correct way to open mind reading, brainwashing! An ability that once nearly turned the world upside down!
"It's a good idea, we used to do the same to the people of the motherland, but as you can see, this is an extremely unsuccessful plan." Edgar's vision was to train the people of his country to be superheroes loyal to Walter.
But it failed, and this kind of thing may work for ordinary people.
But for a powerful superhuman like the motherland, the effect is very poor, and even causes a backlash.
However, Edgar did not completely reject Xia Shang's plan.
"To be honest, I see you, as if I saw my former self, your idea is very good, binding Ryan to Walter Company can indeed effectively contain the motherland, but if you want to completely control him, you need to have an equally strong competitor."
The equally formidable rival in Edgar's mouth naturally refers to the Storm Girl.
