Chapter 390 Live Broadcast Rights Auction

Luo Feng, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., proposed to establish the Earth’s outer space defense fleet and charge a quarter of the military expenditures of countries around the world that wanted to join in carving up alien mothership technology to fund the formation of the space fleet. The top leaders were all shocked.

Several World Security Council members cannot make a decision right away. They have to convene a continental defense conference in the continent they represent, summon the defense ministers and CEOs of military industrial groups from all over the world. They must obtain authorization from leaders of various countries and finally submit it to the United Nations for discussion before they can make a final decision. resolution.

However, since the Chitauri invasion was within a month and time was running out, all council members expressed the view that the five permanent members of the Security Council could hold secret negotiations to sign a memorandum of understanding and draft a preliminary set of agreements before the United Nations resolution was issued. First join the earth's war against alien invaders.

Nick Fury stood behind Luo Feng and participated in the entire meeting. He was also shocked by the director's generosity.

No wonder Director Luo doesn't take the two billion U.S. dollars seriously. He asked the United States for $200 billion in annual defense funding as soon as he opened his mouth! This is just the United States. Countries all over the world have to follow suit. The total annual defense expenditure of SHIELD exceeds the military expenditure of the United States, right?

Nick Fury presided over the construction of flying aircraft carriers during his tenure. Now the first aircraft carrier has been launched for trial sea trials and is about to be put into actual combat. The remaining two under construction are also almost completed.

The flying aircraft carrier has always been a political achievement that Nick is proud of. He believes that the next director will not be able to preside over such a super project and purchase an expensive and gorgeous strategic weapons platform like the flying aircraft carrier for SHIELD.

Unexpectedly, Director Luo would build a space fleet more than a year after taking office. This is infinitely higher than a flying aircraft carrier!

Nick Fury was not willing to accept being compared to others, but he also secretly had some admiration for Director Luo.

In fact, the flying aircraft carrier, Nick Fury's biggest achievement during his tenure as Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., was not due to him. The reason why the project was successfully approved and the funds were received in a timely manner was thanks to the hard work of Hydra, which is parasitic within S.H.I.E.L.D.

Nick thought that the purpose of building the flying aircraft carrier was to maintain world security, and that Hydra's purpose was to implement the Insight Plan and bombard the world. Comrade Nick was busy working on Hydra's Insight Plan, and the flying aircraft carrier he built turned out to be Hydra. Snakes are a weapon for killing civilians.

Several members of the World Security Council hurriedly logged off, notifying the leaders and advisory groups of their countries of the news for further discussion. Luo Feng waited with a smile until they all turned off the video communication, and took Nick and Hill back to the director's office.

Sitting back on the sofa chair behind his desk, Luo Feng put his feet on the desk again and said to Nick: "Notify BBC, ESPN, ABC, CNN, CCTV, YouTube... In short, I want to call all the major media in the world. They held an auction for the rights to broadcast the war between earthlings and aliens.”

"What?" Nick Fury couldn't believe his ears: "Director, you want to broadcast our war with aliens live globally? This... this can't be done. We should hide it from the public."

Luo Feng frowned and scolded: "What era are we in now? We are still using the same methods of deceiving the people decades ago. Don't ordinary people have the right to know that the earth is facing an interstellar war? During World War II, you still knew how to rely on Captain America We engage in propaganda work and sell national debt, but now our working ideas are even more outdated than they were back then?”

"However, if ordinary people knew that aliens were attacking, it would cause a lot of panic..."

Nick Fury retorted: "Then the order of all countries in the world will be disrupted, people will think that the end of the world is coming, the crime rate will increase, and riots will occur everywhere..."

"These are all small problems." Luo Feng waved his hand: "It only shows that your ability to maintain stability in the United States is too poor. Of course, if we lose, the people will feel that the end of the world is coming, but if we win with an absolute advantage, won't the earth be destroyed?" Do people feel proud? It will greatly enhance the cohesion of mankind and make people on the earth more united. In the long run, the benefits definitely outweigh the disadvantages."

"Director, I suggest you not to do this. People cannot accept such a shocking reality..." Nick Fury urged.

Luo Feng explained patiently: "Nick, the Chitauri invasion is just the beginning. The earth will usher in several alien invasions in recent years, and the enemies are getting stronger each time. Continue to hide it and let the people of earth live. In the false security, it is like the late Tartar dynasty in China a hundred years ago. It will be over sooner or later if the country is closed to the outside world and does not open up the people's wisdom and open their eyes to see the universe. We can resist this invasion, and we will be able to resist the next one. What if we can't resist it? People on earth are concealed and do not know the existence of aliens. Suddenly one day aliens rush through our defensive positions and bombard the city. Wouldn't the people collapse even more?"

Although Nick still looked reluctant, he no longer contradicted Luo Feng.

"Since the laboratory explosion you caused caused a loss of more than 2 billion, I will leave it to you to handle this live broadcast rights auction and earn back the money you lost."

Seeing that Nick was silent, Luo Feng ordered.

Nick Fury sighed. He was the assistant and Luo Feng was the director. He could only grit his teeth and accept the order reluctantly.

…

A few days later, the S.H.I.E.L.D. conference room was filled with media executives from around the world.

The reason why they came obediently is because SHIELD's information department holds the global network key. Whoever's communication satellites are blocked can be blocked immediately, causing TV stations and video websites to stop broadcasting indefinitely.

This world-class secret service is really untouchable, and the CEOs of media groups have to take it seriously.

After signing the confidentiality agreement, Nick Fury said: "Please note, what I am going to say next is top secret information. Within a month, the armies of various countries on the earth will fight against alien invaders under the command of S.H.I.E.L.D. The first war against aliens since the birth of human civilization.”

The big news revealed by Nick Fury shocked the media people who are accustomed to big news, and the originally quiet conference room suddenly became noisy.

"The war between earthlings and aliens, God, this is the headline among headlines!"

"If I hadn't signed a confidentiality agreement, I would have asked the reporter to publish the article immediately. Our newspaper would have sold like crazy!"

"Are you kidding me? There have only been a few sightings of aliens on Earth, but we are about to start a war with aliens?"

…

Nick Fury pressed his hand majestically, suppressing the shouts of the rushing media tycoons.

"As the director...assistant of S.H.I.E.L.D., how could I summon you from all over the world to make a joke?" Nick said coldly with a dark face: "S.H.I.E.L.D. plans to broadcast the entire war live to the world, so that the public can Let’s take a good look at the heroic efforts of the Earth’s guardians in fighting against alien invaders.”

The media were shocked when they heard this. They immediately realized that this would be a super news broadcast that would definitely explode in ratings.

Since the birth of human beings, it has been two million years since the appearance of primitive humans.

The question of whether people on earth are orphans of the universe has always been lingering in the hearts of mankind. The search for aliens is one of the important parts of everyone's curiosity about the mysteries of the universe and the origin of mankind.

There have never been confirmed videos and pictures of aliens, but fake news and rumors have spread widely. However, S.H.I.E.L.D. said that it will choose a media to conduct a global live broadcast, allowing the audience to directly watch the scene of the army fighting aliens. picture.

If the whole war between earthlings and aliens could be broadcast live, the audience would definitely watch it like crazy. If you don't watch it, you are not an earthling.

The Super Bowl, the World Cup, and the Spring Festival Gala are simply weak compared to the Earth Alliance vs. Aliens that can only be seen once in two million years.
