Chapter 278: Fake News

“War dog,Warlord,or LORD OF WAR?” (Mercenary, Warlord, Warlord)

This is the real headline of the New York Times.

I have to say that in terms of attracting attention, they are so strong that they don't know where to go than the yellow news that Chen Shen saw in his previous life.

The three impactful "Wars" not only echo the current situation in Pubei, but also fit perfectly with the theme of this report.

In particular, although the latter two words are almost the same, the meanings expressed are completely different.

Not to mention those melon-eating people who don't know the truth, even if Chen Shen sees it himself, he has an urge to read it quickly.

Still, the first thing he did was to find the author's name — fortunately, it wasn't Jiya.

After searching, he found that the author of this article was a relatively well-known news person, and he had always paid attention to the situation in Pubei in the past, so it was reasonable to write such a report.

Of course, it is impossible for this person to have no CIA background behind him, and the most important thing is to see what he writes.

Chen Shen clicked on the headline page, he had to look at his face again, but fortunately, the Dongfeng Corps paid attention to identity secrecy in most public operations, and basically wore masks, and this secretly taken photo was quite blurry, that is, it could barely see the characteristics of Asians.

The members of the core group had all come up curiously, and Chen Shen didn't bother to hide it, so he simply projected the picture directly on the screen, and after seeing Chen Shen's big face photo, even Shi Dakai couldn't help but complain.

"This photo is so bad, seriously, if they want to send a news, they can actually contact us to ask for a photo."

"You're not big enough, are you?"

Chen Shen gave him a roll of the eyes, and the latter spread his hands indifferently and replied:

"In fact, I have long been mentally prepared for this situation, things are getting bigger and bigger, and we will be targeted sooner or later."

"This is just the beginning, maybe we'll all have to get in the newspapers."

And that makes sense."

Chen Shen shook his head helplessly, then scrolled the mouse and swiped to the text page.

And the first sentence of the text directly made Chen Shen unable to hold back.

["There is absolutely no enemy in this world that cannot be defeated, and if there is, it must be because the fire is not burning enough" -—— shipwreck. 】

"When the hell did I say that?"

Chen Shen looked around in confusion, while the others shook their heads.

"I didn't say it, but it seems like the phrase he made up is really what you would say."

Bao Qi nodded thoughtfully, and seemed to agree with this evaluation.

But Shi Dakai shook his head and added:

"Actually, this sentence is not appropriate enough, and it should be added that 'if the fire is not strong enough, it must be because the wind is not strong enough', so that it seems much more reasonable."

"But don't talk about it"

Chen Shen smiled and didn't say anything more.

At this time, his heart had already let go of a lot.

He was really afraid that this thing was a serious in-depth report, the kind that could bring out the foundation of the Dongfeng Corps.

But now, judging from the fact that the author begins with a quote that is clearly made up as a gimmick, it is likely that he is just trying to make a big news.

So, Chen Shen decisively stretched out his hand to signal everyone to shut up, and then rolled the mouse and began to read the headline "news story" carefully.

[How much time does it take to go from a rout to the strongest special forces unit in the region?] The answer given by this mercenary group named "Dongfeng" is, two years. 】

[In two years, this mercenary group has grown from 4 men and 4 guns all the way to the most advanced rifles, heavy artillery, armored vehicles, and even helicopters, and countless enemies have fallen in front of them, and many of these enemies have even appeared in our headlines. 】

[They are veritable "headline killers" and inhuman battlefield butchers. 】

[According to preliminary statistics from sources, in the past two years, the direct casualties caused by this team have been as high as 3,000, of which a large number of casualties come from their unscrupulous use of fire attack tactics]

[In many battles, they even used thermite and white phosphorus bombs, blatantly violating the Geneva Conventions, regardless of the life and death of civilians]

[One of the most typical cases is the attack launched by the Dongfeng Corps on the Henry Hotel in Kokang Old Street. During the offensive, the Dongfeng Corps used an earthen thermite to set fire to a large hotel that could accommodate thousands of people, and according to people familiar with the scene, the flames could be seen even hundreds of kilometers away in YN province.

[In addition to this, the Dongfeng Corps also used a lot of anti-humanitarian weapons, and even used large oil tankers to create explosives. In October last year, the armed forces caused a massive explosion along the Mekong River, destroying dozens of boats and killing hundreds, and after the explosion, they set fire to mountains and burned tens of thousands of square meters of forest, producing black smoke that lasted for more than a week.

[And that's just a small part of their crazy tactics, according to people familiar with the matter, the Dongfeng Corps never takes any prisoners on the battlefield and does not return the bodies of the dead]

[Up to now, the bodies of some employees of international security companies have been detained by the Dongfeng Corps, or have been "disposed of" by the corps]

[Their cruel methods and extremely strong combat effectiveness have become one of the most serious unstable factors in the local area]

[And the true purpose of this corps is far from being truly exposed]

The report came to an end here, and the author accompanied his article with many news pictures, and when he saw those pictures that he had indeed been to the scene, Chen Shen couldn't help frowning.

the groove.

I didn't feel anything when I hit it, but now that I look back, is it really that crazy what I did.

The blackened hotel stands out in the bustling city; The wreckage of a floating ship on the Mekong River, the twisted keel shows the power of the earth-shattering explosion; I don't know from which angle the fire-breathing fire truck was photographed, it is simply a postmodernist science fiction style oil painting; The wounded in the camp for the wounded soldiers of the Burmese army, apparently filmed after the war, pushed the atmosphere created by the author to a climax.

Damn, Chen Shen, damn it!

Chen Shen scratched his head, he suddenly realized that if he was really an ordinary person, after seeing this report, he would probably only be shocked by the ferocity of this army.

After all, these words, these images, are so impactful

What fake new is pediatrics, this kind of selective reporting that says half of it is the real master!

Pinch, you only said that I burned the hotel, why don't you say that the Henry Hotel is a nest of illegal gambling, drug dealing, and human trafficking?

You say I'm blowing up a boat on the Mekong, but I'm blowing up Nuo Kham's boat, okay?

Also, what the hell are the employees of the International Security Company, the mercenaries of the Shadow Corps who are more noble than us?

Public opinion, if you don't occupy the high ground of public opinion, you will really be occupied by the enemy.

Chen Shen clenched his fists and secretly remembered the author's name in his heart.

He couldn't wait to find an opportunity to kill in the United States to let this person feel the iron fist of the Dongfeng Corps, but of course he also knew that this thing might not be realized in the short term.

However, the company is getting bigger and bigger, and it seems that it is indeed time to engage in some public opinion warfare.

It's not okay to hide your head and tail all the time, since people are already standing in the foreground, it's better to start the performance generously.

After Jing Dong takes it, let's do it.

Chen Shen exhaled lightly and scrolled the mouse again.

[If they are just war dogs who fight for money, maybe what this corps does will not attract much attention]

[In fact, in the early days of the establishment of this corps, what they did was not much different from other mercenary regiments active in Pubei]

[According to reliable sources, the first well-documented mission of this mercenary group was to assist the Thai side in completing the escort mission, they rescued a European journalist from the kidnappers and sent him to safety, just like all other mercenary groups and security companies]

[But after that, the Dongfeng Corps began to contact higher-level forces, and their ambitions were exposed]

[Only a few days after the escort mission was completed, this mercenary group assisted the local warlords of Mengka in launching an armed coup, overthrowing the originally stable management order and installing new puppet warlords to come to power]

[In this coup d'état, there is evidence that they used cloudburst bombs and white phosphorus bombs to attack, and without any negotiation, they brutally killed the local former military and administrative officials]

[Since then, the actions of the Dongfeng Corps have become more and more crazy]

[With the help of the new puppet warlords, they obtained a large amount of heavy equipment, penetrated deep into the Golden Triangle region, eliminated a large number of potential enemies, and looted a large amount of equipment and property]

[Subsequently, with the dual blessing of equipment and property, they entered the Kokang area to assist the Allied forces in launching a bloody suppression of the local democratic resistance forces, and the aforementioned fire at the Henry Hotel occurred during this period]

[It is understood that all the peaceful and democratic forces in Kokang were destroyed in this crackdown, and the allied forces returned to power, and colluded with senior officials of the Burmese military government to continue to implement their high-pressure rule in Kokang]

[It is worth mentioning that in the Kokang incident, the Dongfeng Corps also carried out a brutal and ferocious attack on the Kachin democratic forces, a legal trading company was affected, and more than 100 Kachin people were slaughtered]

[Immediately afterwards, the Dongfeng Corps pointed the finger at the local third-party forces, trying to eliminate all external observation forces]

[Members of the MPRI-affiliated Shadow International Security Company are attacked, and all employees are killed]

[In response to this matter, MPRI has responded and will use more forces to investigate to the end]

[Blatantly attacking a third-party neutral force, this is already the limit of madness that we can think of, but this is not the limit of Dongfeng soldiers]

[After clearing the observers, the Dongfeng Corps directly participated in the rebels' attack on the important town of Pubei, broke the peace reorganization agreement, and continued to provoke the government army, causing heavy casualties]

[Under their influence, the situation in Pubei, which has been stabilized, has been re-inflated, and the largest armed conflict in decades has erupted]

[Regional peace is facing serious challenges, and geopolitical stability is under major threat]

[And the initiator of all this, but from beginning to end, did not speak for the victims]

At this point, the second part of the report ends.

This time, the author's illustration still exploded.

Civilians bleeding at gunpoint, corpses being executed at close range, teddy bears stained with smoke and blood, children being carried into the hospital by their tearful fathers

Fuck, do these pictures have anything to do with me?

Chen Shen could pat his chest and say that his previous actions may have indeed caused some impact on civilians, but the casualties directly caused -—— no, even if they were indirectly injured because of their actions, it is absolutely impossible to exceed 10.

Which one of the people I killed didn't deserve it??

Moreover, the four major families have actually become democratic resistance forces? What the hell is this hellish joke?!

Is it a legitimate trading company that buys and sells arms and commits terrorist acts? Ami, you can't just say that it's legal for someone else to do it just because you did it yourself, right?

Breaking the Peace Consolidation Agreement. There's really no way to deny it, but the problem is, this is Pubei's internal affairs, and it has a JB relationship with you?!

Chen Shen's hair is about to explode, and the Spring and Autumn penmanship of this report is really strong.

He resisted the feeling of nausea and continued to watch, but as he looked at it, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

——

What's going on?

Although every sentence is attacking and belittling, I still think I'm pretty awesome when I look at it

On the screen, the text of the report kept swiping, and this long article report was also nearing the end.

[The origin of this mercenary group is mysterious, and its amazing combat effectiveness is even more mysterious, and the author has not obtained evidence of the other party's true background after many verifications]

[But it is an undeniable fact that the appearance of this mercenary group has not brought any improvement to the already turbulent situation in Pubei]

[On the contrary, their methods of brutal expansion have caused serious adverse consequences]

[And its leader, the mercenary nicknamed 'Shipwreck', has also become a tiresome warmonger]

[Every time he appears, it means a new war, and it also means the loss of one life after another]

[Perhaps, whether it is a mercenary, a warlord, or a war lord, it is not enough to summarize him appropriately and accurately]

[He is a ruthless mercenary, a brutal warlord, a ruthless criminal, an anti-human killing machine, a mad chaos maker, and the eye of the storm that destroys all peaceful order]

[To solve Pubei's problem, perhaps, his problem should be solved first]

This concludes the full text of the report.

Chen Shen breathed a long sigh of relief and closed the computer with a snap.

Then, gritting his teeth, he spoke:

"Damn, sooner or later, I'm going to hang all these shitty Western media on the wall."

"I'd like to see how many words they can write when their faces are spread out!"

Hearing his words, Shi Dakai on the side couldn't help but laugh.

"Whether they have the cheekiness or not, let alone write a few words."

"Actually, it's okay, this report is exaggerated and won't be officially accepted."

"I was worried at first, but I didn't think it was a big deal after reading the whole story."

It's really not a big deal, this report is too exaggerated in terms of wording and facts, and it doesn't get to the core of the problem at all, and even makes a lot of common-sense mistakes that even Lao Mei herself won't recognize.

For example, the article vaguely states that the attitude towards Laos and Myanmar is not in line with the current grand strategy of Laos and the United States; For example, claiming that the Shadow Corps belongs to MPRI, aren't you just slapping the Ministry of Defense in the face?

Obviously, this report does not represent the official meaning of the United States.

——

Maybe it has some connection with the CIA, but it shouldn't be strong.

Because if the CIA really wants to kill the Dongfeng Corps in the war of public opinion, in fact, it will not say anything anti-human, massacre or anything like that, because this thing is too easy to refute.

They will only attack at one point, and that is to interfere with the democratic process in the region.

A large number of warlords in Africa have been killed for this reason, and who cares if they are slaughtered or not

Thinking of this, Chen Shen's heart finally let go.

This report exposed the Dongfeng Corps to everyone and erected an extremely negative image, which would indeed cause considerable trouble.

But fortunately, there is no "so" trouble.

So, he spoke:

"A small episode, leave it alone."

"Don't worry, do whatever you have to do, we."

"Jingle bell—"

Before he could finish his sentence, the phone on his desk rang again.

As soon as he picked up the phone, the jackal's trademark enthusiastic voice rang out.

"The shipwreck -——is not right, it's the 'Angel of Death in Pubei', hello!"
