Rise of the Wasteland

Chapter 1860 I Am Willing

When the news of the possible marriage of the two major powers in the North American wasteland spread, the most eager to move was naturally the various media. Ever since the Aurora Legion demonstrated its powerful brainwashing offensive when it attacked Texas, various forces in North America have launched their own propaganda plans.

In a short period of time, the New York Brotherhood strengthened the propaganda organization of the entire force and rebuilt a group of influential media. The popularity of a group of journalists has also been greatly improved through continuous exposure, such as the New York Times reporter Flynn.

Because he has published a large number of speeches and reports that cater to the mainstream thoughts of the current society, Flynn has been widely sought after recently, and he is respected and facilitated wherever he goes for interviews. He became a famous uncrowned king for a while, and his future was bright.

Facing the rumor of 'marriage' that is raging in public opinion, Flynn decided to challenge himself to interview the parties involved in the incident—Angelina Lawrence and Victor Hugo who were in the vortex.

The big reporter planned to take the cameraman and assistants to Washington, D.C. to interview Her Royal Highness first, then set off overland to interview the Enclave and several cities of the Aurora Legion, and then went to Mexico City to interview Victor Hugo.

"Remember, this interview must make a big noise. The bigger the noise, the safer it will be, and the more attention it will receive." A certain figure who planned and funded the interview warned Feilin, "Tell the truth to the public so that it will be more popular." They understand that 'marriage' is a huge mistake."

To put it bluntly, it is to mess up this matter as much as possible.

Flynn understood this, although as a reporter, he should conduct interviews from a neutral perspective. But there is a saying... that news has no borders, but journalists still have to get paid.

It is not difficult to make an appointment to interview Angie, "Her Royal Highness" is happy to communicate with the media. And she allows reporters to ask questions freely without presetting questions.

At this moment, Flynn was waiting in a small living room in Anji's big office, and the cameraman Raul on the opposite side was ready. Flynn straightened up and asked his partner, "Hey, what do you think of me?"

"Ferring, you are very handsome. You will become famous for this series of reports." Cameraman Raul gave his thumbs up behind the camera. The interview was preceded by a massive publicity campaign in The New York Times. 'Wedding between two North American powerhouses', this gimmick is too attractive.

The beautiful Anji appeared on time, and the generous "Her Royal Highness" smiled confidently at the camera. She has always been loved by people with her outstanding appearance. Now her every move has received media attention, and many women even use her dress as a fashion vane.

Seeing such a noble and beautiful woman accepting his own interview, Flynn's tens of thousands of pores are dilated with excitement. After a few words of pleasantries, he began to ask tricky questions that seemed gossip, "Miss Lawrence, I can call you Angie. Have you ever had a boyfriend?"

Hahaha... Angie sat in front of the camera with her legs crossed. She was quite embarrassed by the first question, but she covered her mouth and laughed a few times politely.

Angie was only fifteen years old when the cataclysm happened, and now more than three years after the end of the world, she can barely be said to be only nineteen years old. She has become a ruler at such a young age. Her beauty and power give Anji her own noble temperament. There is never a shortage of suitors around her who dream of reaching the sky in one step.

Flynn's question is not easy to answer, especially in the current political environment where several topic traps are hidden. Angie thought about it for several rounds in her head while laughing, and finally said with a smile, "Yes, I have a crush. That's an idiot who can get lost standing in front of his own house."

"Who is it?" Flynn asked immediately. There are several questions behind him that are enough to cast a cloud over this marriage.

But Angie smiled slyly, "This is my private secret, the key point is that the idiot will definitely not like me to expose his embarrassment. Maybe he will be angry."

Uh... Flynn wanted to work hard to be a shit-stirring stick, but he hit such a soft nail. Angie used her female advantage to gently resolve the verbal trap, and Fei Lin could only laugh with her.

But the big reporter would not give up easily. He smiled and asked again: "Angie, what qualities do you want your future partner to have? Kindness, integrity, bravery, or something else?"

This question seems simple. Girls usually choose positive words to describe their sweetheart. But Flynn would immediately ask Angie to comment on Victor Hugo. You must know that the head of the legion is often associated with ambition, power, and warlike words in the minds of North American people.

Behind the disunity of cognition, one verbal trap can be formed, and Flynn is sure to discredit Victor Hugo without any radical words. Maybe it can make people subconsciously feel that this marriage was caused by violence and coercion.

Flynn even waited to ask Angie in a 'concerned' tone if he was subjected to some kind of coercion, and if this marriage was promoted as the Aurora Legion using brute force, let alone Victor Hugo's image would be damaged, David Lawrence will not admit that he was forced to marry his daughter to keep his safety.

Everyone is a high-ranking person who wants to save face. For the sake of face, two people who are going to get married may be separated.

As soon as the question came up, Flynn's eyes flashed with a smile of waiting for the prey to be caught. His questions may seem ordinary, but they can kill people invisible.

But Angie, who is a talented girl, seems to have noticed something. She stared at the camera lens vigilantly for a second or two, meditating, and then said: "I hope my husband is as great as my father."

Eh……?

Flynn's smile was a little stiff and stiff, and he turned his mind around, and found that he couldn't ask the question smoothly——Anji's father is David Lawrence, and this can't discredit the boss of his power a hand? This is living impatiently.

There is nothing wrong with girls imagining their partners in the image of their fathers. Angie smiled smugly, and even looked at Fei Lin with a bit of teasing—if you have the ability, you can go to my dad, let's see if you move or not?

As a reporter, Fei Lin realized that the rumors about the extraordinary intelligence of "Her Royal Highness" were not groundless. This seemingly cute but smooth answer alone speaks volumes. He felt that he couldn't make any more detours, otherwise he wouldn't be able to find out why after asking for a long time.

Just ask straight to the point....

"Angie, now there are rumors that you may marry Victor Hugo, the head of the Aurora Legion. Let's not talk about the authenticity of this matter. Can you talk about how it will affect the situation in North America if it really happens? What kind of impact?"

This kind of problem of mixing public and private affairs is very troublesome, and it will offend people no matter what. When this question was asked, Angie's assistant immediately stopped her and said, "Mr. Flynn, we don't comment on this hypothetical situation. This is a kind of harm to Miss Lawrence."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was too rude." Fei Lin immediately apologized. He seemed to bow his head respectfully, but his heart was already full of laughter - not answering is actually an answer, and the media can completely take this as an answer. An indescribable embarrassment expressed as being subject to 'some kind of unspeakable pressure'.

The more ambiguous the parties are, the more room the media has for self-expression-if you cheat you, you will have to blame yourself for not speaking clearly. This is the terrible thing about having the right to speak.

While apologizing, Flynn thought about continuing to change the question. He felt that he had grasped the initiative of this interview and understood how to ask questions to achieve his goal. However, before the conversation could continue, Angie reached out to stop his next question and said, "Wait..."

Flynn was taken aback, Angie's assistant kept winking at her, but "Her Royal Highness" said to himself: "I can make a deduction based on this situation."

"Oh...?" Flynn acted curiously, he was really surprised this time. Politicians willing to speak clearly are rare.

After taking a deep breath, Anji said calmly, "If Victor and I get married, many conflicts between the two major forces will definitely be eliminated. After our two sides work together, we can naturally suppress the development of other North American forces, which is beneficial to many vested interests. It's painful and hopeless.

However, if the Aurora Legion, which has huge financial resources, and the New York Brotherhood, which has a vast territory and population, unite, the capital and the market can be unified, which is a great boon for the bottom of the society. No one can challenge such a combined force, so peace will come.

Both Victor Hugo and my father are rare heroes in this world. Their talents, their boldness, and their will make thousands of people follow them.

I am well aware of the many unreconcilable disputes between them, and the great power they will have together. If it can be the glue between the two of them, if it can benefit tens of millions of people in North America, if it can end this suffering in the last days....

I do. "
