Chapter 2569 Smoke rises (this cat can only go through the back door now)
After the interview, Fang Zheng introduced Ellie and the female reporter, and then he asked Ellie to be the female reporter's assistant to assist her in the interview.
After all, news reports are about facts and evidence, and it’s not enough for Arios to finish his empty words. Besides, Fangzheng is not just planning to make a big news—it’s just a trigger, as if he As Ellie said, now that Arios has started, will others follow?
And all of this requires factual evidence.
Both objective reality and subjective will are indispensable.
So after interviewing Arios, the first task of the female reporter and Ellie was naturally to go to the Cross Bell Police Station to investigate and find clues.
This is a very difficult process. After all, as Arios said, this kind of thing will be suppressed by the Closbell Council, and the police department will naturally not continue to pursue it. However, Fangzheng was not helpless. He approached the high-level police station and said that the interview was ostensibly to investigate the incident that year, but in fact it was to explain the situation of the Crossbell Police Station to the public.
"The Crossbell Police Department has always been seen by the public as incompetent scum, paycheck thieves, who always compare you to guerrillas, and think you are an incompetent and corrupt bunch. But we all know that is not the case , everyone in the police station is also working hard to maintain the order of Crossbell. Do you want to continue to bear this infamy? It is not you who are incompetent, but the Crossbell Council. They chose to bow their heads, but let you Take the blame, do you think this is fair? You have sacrificed so much, but you don't even have a fair evaluation, is this what you want?"
In the end, under Fang Zheng's persuasion, the police station agreed to hand over the original information to the Crossbell News Agency, but they asked the other party to keep the source of this document confidential... Fang Zheng naturally nodded in agreement to this, and directly waited for the report. It's not enough to write "an enthusiastic Chaoyang citizen provided a clue", what a big deal.
And this document also proved what Arios said. At the same time, the female reporter and Ellie were also surprised to find that not only the Crossbell Police Department was involved in the incident, but even the security team was involved. So they found The security team conducted further investigations.
But this time, it was not so easy for them. The guard was a semi-military organization after all, and it was not their turn to investigate the secrets here, so after the two explained their intentions, they were kicked out of the room by the deputy commander. In the end, Fangzheng went out in person, bribed the drunk deputy commander with a bottle of fine wine, and obtained the intelligence information they wanted.
And so far, the general process of the whole incident appeared in front of everyone.
007 came to a small country in the Middle East to investigate a hidden terrorist organization. In the process, 007's identity was exposed and he was hunted down by terrorists. His wisdom successfully repelled the terrorists' pursuit and brought the information back to the country.
Well, the victims of Closbell were the unlucky ones who were innocently involved in the firefight between 007 and terrorists.
During this process, the more Ellie investigated, the more shocking she felt. She couldn't even imagine that people from two different countries would fight directly in Crossbell, without caring about the life and death of Crossbell's people. Even in the end, they didn't even bother to write an official letter of apology. This made Ellie feel an unspeakable anger.
If she didn't understand Arios very well before this, then now Ellie finally understands why Arios left the police station and even participated in Fangzheng's plan.
The Crossbells have no dignity.
This alone is enough.
Neither the Republic nor the Empire made any apology or compensation for the deaths of the Crossbell people they caused. They acted as if nothing had happened, and they didn't care about it at all. Rosebell Council wiped their asses for them.
It is conceivable that the Closbell Council was unwilling to do such shabby things, so in the end, the investigation ended with an "accident". As for the fierce gun battle that took place at that time, they said it was a battle between the mafia for territory.
After gathering all the evidence and intelligence, the Crossbell newsletter was officially published, and soon, it caused violent fluctuations in the entire Crossbell——During the disaster three years ago, Arios His wife and daughter were just one of the victims, and many people were also involved and died at that time.
Since Fang Zheng had already hinted at this before, in the report, the female reporter did not babble bad things about the police as before, but tried her best to tell the readers that the Crossbell Police Department was also a victim. They investigated this incident I also paid a lot, but all this was in vain.
So the question is, who is the culprit?
There is no need to ask, of course it is the Closbell Council!
Angry people spontaneously came to the city hall to protest the actions of the Closbell Council, and those councilors were also sweating coldly in the face of the people's questions, not knowing what to do.
"Now you understand why I'm not worried about the Crossbell Council at all."
Standing on the balcony, Fangzheng looked at the city hall surrounded by people holding signs not far away, and the sweaty guards outside, he chuckled, while Ellie looked complicated.
"A regime, a political system, needs a lot of power to support and ensure its existence. Legitimacy is just a kind of civilized rhetoric. In the final analysis, whether you can rule a region, a piece of land, or a country requires the support of the people. , it's that simple."
"So... simple? But..."
"Yes, it's that simple. Of course, the methods are different. Some people will use fear to dominate them, some will use money to bribe them, some will use sweet words to seduce them, and some will use ideals to confuse them. Clos Bell Council The problem is that they shouldn't claim that they represent the will of the people, because that's what happens when they don't do what they claim to do."
Fangzheng looked at the crowd below and smiled.
"Why do you think these people are so angry? Is it because of what the Empire and the Republic did in Crossbell? This is of course the reason, but this is just a spark, a small fuse. Guess, they are angry what exactly is it?"
Fangzheng never let go of the opportunity to teach Ellie, and it is the same now.
And now Ellie is no longer the girl who seemed a little innocent in her thinking before.
"They are angry that ... they have been deceived."
"If the answer is correct, add ten points."
Fangzheng snapped his fingers again.
"You see, we all know that the so-called Crossbell Council is just a puppet, a puppet responsible for maintaining this place. Members can say hundreds of tens of thousands of words to shirk their responsibilities, but they can't To change the fact that they kept saying that they were fighting on behalf of the people of Crossbell, but in the end they betrayed the trust of these people."
Fang Zheng chuckled.
"Ellie, you have to remember that most people, most ordinary people, are not like you, born into a well-bred family, living a prosperous life, knowing very well about upper-class affairs, understanding what is Politics, what is a deal. They only know that in order to win their votes, these congressmen made themselves the protectors and spokespersons of the Crossbell people, but in fact, they are just the dogs of the Republic and the Empire."
"My grandfather is not this kind of person."
Hearing this, Ellie finally couldn't help retorting.
"He also has no way..."
"It's none of my business because it's not my opinion, it's the opinion of those down below."
Fangzheng pointed to the protesters holding signs below.
"You have to convince them, not me."
The fire has been lit.
And it's getting worse.
After that, many people wrote to Cross Bell Communications, describing the unfair treatment they encountered, including not only major events like the explosion of the transport vehicle, but also some trivial matters. For example, an aristocrat from the empire molested his daughter in a tavern. He had a fight with the other party, and in the end he was imprisoned, while the aristocrat was acquitted.
Some people also complained that the sons and daughters of high-ranking officials from the Republic raced wildly in Crossbell, and carnivaled and disturbed the people in the newly bought houses, but there was nothing they could do about them.
Originally, Cross Bell News Agency did not plan to publish these things, but Fang Zheng stopped them.
"For most people, things like espionage and intelligence warfare are far away from them. They may watch the excitement, but they won't have a personal experience. But disturbing the people, provoking, and enjoying privileges unscrupulously are what the people care about topic."
In fact, just as Fang Zheng thought, the "little things" published in the Crossbell newsletter aroused the public's anger even more. This made the members of the Closbell Council miserable. The two members of the Empire faction and the Republic faction asked them to take responsibility and suppress the situation, but what could they do?
The Closbell Council also issued an order to request the cooperation of the police station, but the police station promised to be diligent, and turned around and ignored it.
After all, after the publication of the Cross Bell newsletter, the hatred of the people was transferred to the parliament, and the pressure on the police, who were often regarded as incompetent before, was greatly reduced. Even now when they walk on the street, they are still greeted by some people. This is a world of difference from when people used to treat them as lackeys of the parliament and incompetent scum!
If there is no comparison, there will be no harm. If we can live the current life, which policeman would be willing to be looked down upon like before.
"By the way, among the protesters below, there are also people from Starlight Technology."
"Hey?!"
Hearing this, Ellie was taken aback.
"Mr. Fangzheng, could it be that you sent someone to incite..."
"Does this still require incitement?"
Fangzheng glanced at Ellie speechlessly.
"I'm here for control, Ellie. You have to remember that any protest, if it can't be controlled, will be used by others and turn into a riot. Why do you think the police are not dispatched now, and the guards are not involved?" No action? That's because these citizens are now simply protesting and demonstrating instead of turning it into a riot. In this case, the unlucky ones will only be members of parliament that everyone dislikes, so everyone can watch the show. But when the protests turn into riots, when it turns into looting, when people get killed, that's a different story, you see."
While talking, Fangzheng raised his chin and nodded towards the bottom. Ellie looked in the direction he indicated, only to see a man shouting loudly in the crowd.
"These congressmen are all devils, they cheated us of our money and our trust, everyone rush in, pull these bastards out of it, let them see our anger!!!"
The man was obviously instigating the protesters around him, but before he could act, he saw a few people in ordinary clothes suddenly appearing around him. They raised their fists and shouted loudly, while pinching the man In the middle. Under the loud shouts of these people, the man's incitement was completely drowned out, and then these people directly "surrounded" the man, pulled him out of the crowd, and took him to the alley next to him.
"That person is..."
"Who knows, maybe it's the local hooligans who want to take advantage of the fire, or it may be a trick by the Republican faction and the imperial faction, but these are meaningless. If the guards and the police will not intervene, then the members of the parliament must be in the shortest possible time. Come up with a solution in time."
Having said this, Fangzheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
"Unfortunately, it's impossible for them to come up with a solution."
“……………………”
Ellie thought about it carefully, and then had to nod her head in agreement. Now the focus of the conflict between the two parties is that the people of Closbell demand that the parliament take an attitude and no longer compromise with the empire and the republic, but treat them equally according to the law. But the problem is... the parliament can't do it!
If they want to be able to do it, do they still have to be the dog legs like they are now?
Of course, Fangzheng was not just watching the show, Crossbell Communications was also conducting interviews and publications non-stop, including not only the reactions of Crossbell, but also the reactions from the Empire and the Republic.
But MPs have nowhere to go.
The entire Crossbell is almost under the control of Starlight Technology. Fangzheng even ordered it to continue. There will be no dismissal and no salary suspension.
This immediately doubled the number of people blocking the door of the entire city council.
Who would not want to be able to fish in a reasonable and legal way and get paid without fear of being fired? !
While Fang was waiting for the further development of the situation in Closbell, a piece of news came from Libel that made him extremely depressed.
According to Xiao Hei's report, a floating city appeared in the sky above the Liber Kingdom. At the same time, the guiding power stopped again in the entire Liber Kingdom. This time, the scope was larger than before, and even affected the surrounding areas. Under such circumstances, on the one hand, Queen Liber ordered Dr. Russell to find a solution to this problem immediately; Change.
"Body Devouring Snake, those damn rats are really non-stop!!"
After listening to Xiao Hei's report, Fang Zheng was also very angry.
"This time, I must teach these bastards an unforgettable lesson!!!"
