Rise of the Wasteland

Chapter 991 Pretentious 1 Must Pretend to Be a Full Set

Associated Press Headquarters, New York, USA. ??

When Zhou Qingfeng was still wreaking havoc in Xingnan Port at night, the editor-in-chief of the International Department of the Associated Press received a faxed manuscript from the Tokyo branch in the morning.

The editor-in-chief first took a look at the somewhat blurred photos in the manuscript, which were set against a snowy valley in the middle of the war, and an Asian man in a U.S. military uniform stood in front of a tank. He didn't rush to read the text of the manuscript, but tried to distinguish what type of tank was in front of him with professional characteristics?

"I've never seen this kind of tank before." The editor-in-chief reluctantly gave up the distinction, and could only read the text unhappily. But after reading three or four lines, his eyes suddenly became focused.

After World War II, the United States was really booming, and it was a hegemon in the sky, and the public was no longer surprised by all kinds of icing on the cake news. As far as the media is concerned, announcing a message of victory obviously does not attract readers' attention. And what if it was a message of defeat?

Impossible... Can the powerful U.S. military be defeated? You must know that we overthrew the Axis powers that threatened the world a few years ago, and the German and Japanese fascists were overthrown by the invincible US military!

However, the editor-in-chief of the International Department of the Associated Press kept seeing some shocking words in the manuscripts-severe cold, low temperature, assault, fiasco, casualties, and depression.

After seeing only half of it, the editor-in-chief confirmed that he had received an explosive piece of news—the First Division of the 6th Battle, which is a symbol of honor in the United States, suffered heavy losses.

Just like a dog biting a man is not news, but a man biting a dog is news. The setback of the U.S. military is what the media needs in order to attract readers' attention and stimulate newspaper sales.

The editor-in-chief of the International Department hurriedly took the manuscript to the editor-in-chief's office, and said solemnly and solemnly: "Sir, you should read this report. Our army suffered heavy losses in North Korea, and the enemy dispatched a new type of heavy tank. counterweight weapon."

"The 'Pershing' tank was defenseless at its muzzle, and its armor was so thick that it ignored our shells. The boys of the 1st Tank Battalion of the 6th Battle suffered a massacre, and in the battle to rescue the division headquarters In the middle of the day, charred bodies covered the entire road."

"The enemy captured Gutuli, where the 6th Battle Regiment was located, and captured thousands of people. The prisoner-of-war camp was filled with various US military officers. I even saw Major McLaughlin who was assigned to the 'Drysdale Detachment'. He is an assistant to the Operations Department of the Tenth Army, and also serves as the liaison officer of the 6th Battle Division.”

The words on the manuscript made the editor-in-chief of the Associated Press tremble. This is a disaster, but it is also an extremely important piece of news that will definitely cause a sensation. He asked, "Who wrote this manuscript?"

"Frank Noel, our war correspondent stationed in the 1st Division of the 6th War, said he had been captured. But the enemy allowed him to act as a reporter, so he sent a manuscript to our Tokyo bureau.

The Tokyo bureau is verifying the authenticity of the news, but our Far East Army Command refuses to answer any questions. This situation means that the news is likely to be true. "The editor-in-chief of the International Department has obviously done some preliminary work and learned enough information.

"So who is this person?" The editor-in-chief asked, pointing to the Asian man wearing a US military uniform in the photo, "This should be an enemy officer, right?"

"Frank called him 'Zhou'. It is said that this man commanded a powerful tank assault force to break through the defense of the 6th Regiment. I just asked my friends on the front line, and they said that Colonel Puller of the 6th Regiment was killed. This guy fled in embarrassment, he was no match at all."

The editor-in-chief's answer made the editor-in-chief constantly amazed, but he did not sigh too much for the tragic experience of the US military. Instead, he shouted excitedly: "It's great, this news can be put on the headlines of many newspapers and sell for a lot of money." sum of money.

Radio hosts will be desperate for more details, and Americans will be shocked, jumping from their desks at the news. Let the people in the Tokyo branch work hard and never cut off the connection with Frank. We can pay double the salary. "

The editor-in-chief was so happy that he jumped up from the table first, but at this time the phone on the table was ringing.

After he connected, he said a few words, and his face immediately collapsed.

The editor-in-chief quickly asked, "What happened?"

"The Ministry of National Defense's call, they don't allow us this news, saying that it will cause panic and leak secrets." After hanging up the phone, the editor-in-chief cursed: "These bastards have lost their own battles, but they don't allow us to make money!"

But both the editor-in-chief and the editor-in-chief seemed a little helpless. The news control in the United States prevented them from distributing any battlefield information at will, which was illegal.

However…….

Frank Noel is not restrained, he has been distributing information non-stop. From the fall of Tuguli to the end of Zhenxingli, to the field documentary interviews of a large number of captured American soldiers, as well as photos of volunteer soldiers and officers. Each of these pieces of news is explosive like never before.

The Associated Press in New York was shocked by the continuous news. They could imagine how enthusiastic Mr. Noel on the other side of the world was working. It was as efficient as chicken blood.

And because they couldn't get the news, the top executives of the Associated Press were so depressed that they wanted to die. Each of these heavy news is explosive, and each is money!

What is more painful is that other news agencies in the United States, who also receive these news, also cannot. And the envy of other news agencies - why don't we have any journalists captured? Why don't we have such news? We also demand that journalists be captured and demand equal treatment.

No, news agencies in other countries won't hesitate. The TASS news agency of the Soviet Union immediately published Frank's news, and even added fuel to celebrate the little brother Huaxia's achievements, and at the same time, they also showed credit for themselves-the tank belongs to our family.

The photo of Uncle Zhou standing in front of the tank became popular all over the vast territory of the Soviet Union. All the bears knew that there was a great tank commander in the socialist camp. He overthrew the US military in a single battle. More than a dozen tanks and dozens of chariots.

This is definitely the armor trump card!

The Soviet Union is gone, and so are European countries. Uncle Zhou swept the entire socialist camp for a while, and at the same time caused panic in capitalist countries. Only the Americans stare blankly at this.

What is even more surprising is that the non-stop armored ace went into battle again. He led the fast column to raid the third division of the US Army and defeated it in one fell swoop.

This news is even more exciting and attracts worldwide attention!

The marshals of the Soviet Union are all asking the comrades in China-congratulations to your tank soldiers for their world-class attack power, but how did your people achieve such a huge battle result? We'd love to know the details.

The Soviets asked, and the Europeans also wanted to know. Because a fast column defeated an infantry division, a living miracle!

You must know that the torrent of steel of millions of Soviet troops is pressing on the heads of Europeans. If the results of the Korean battlefield are of universal significance, doesn't it mean that the defense line laid by the Europeans is also fragile?

European allies anxiously asked Americans: Are you really so weak?

The Americans were angry: We are not weak, it's just a technical problem. We are still going strong!

As a result... the U.S. government just comforted its European brother, and another major incident happened in North Korea. It's the Changjin Lake area again, it's the enemy's tanks again, and it's bad luck for our own side. This time it turned out to be America's most powerful support in the world-the aircraft carrier was stunned!

Frank Noel even followed the fast column, and took a photo of Zhou Qingfeng leaning out from the turret to direct the Is-7 forward, and the background was the 'Wright' that was burning on the sea.

Dark night, cold wind, armor, flames of war, warriors, the invincible spirit and the victory of the three armies, this scene will arouse the passion of all men!

The reporter risked his life to stay in Zhou Qingfeng's car. After avoiding the attack of the US naval guns, he specifically asked to get out of the car and took this posed photo. The risk proved worthwhile, and he won the Pulitzer Prize for journalism the following year.

And Uncle Zhou... is famous all over the world!

When this photo and related first-hand news came back to New York, the editor-in-chief and editor-in-chief of the Associated Press immediately went crazy-such a sensational news must not be let go, let the waste of the Ministry of Defense die, we must, sir Special, everyone knows!

So when Zhou Qingfeng made his extraordinary achievements, the American people first heard a piece of sad news on the radio.

'In the eastern seas of North Korea, the aircraft carrier 'Wright' was attacked by enemy tanks and suffered heavy damage. '

A fire broke out on the deck of the "Wright", and the fire was out of control. '

'Xingnan Port was attacked, and tens of thousands of people in the Tenth Army were in extreme danger. '

Major General Smith of the 1st Division of the 6th Battle was killed in the fire of the Wright. '

‘The President ordered national mourning and flags flown at half-mast. '

'Can we still win this war? '8
