Chapter 576 Confrontation
Ambassador Lionheart walked out of the gate of the Ministry of Electric Power and said directly to the driver: "Go to One Park Avenue!"
Since there is no way to get through from the Minister of Electricity, then go directly to Time Magazine.
This is not to harass the family, Claire is already an individual.
His etiquette was in place and no one could fault him.
When the car arrived at One Park Avenue, a group of trucks happened to be unloading.
Time magazine's unexpected fire hit, and the existing printing machines were overwhelmed.
As it happened, the owner next door volunteered to sell his house and put it on the market overnight.
Claire easily bought a property, briefly renovated it and incorporated it into the magazine.
Then the Royal Machinery Factory happened to have a backlog of printing equipment, and they simply sent it to Time Magazine. This is called sharing worries for the country.
That's why the Lionheart Ambassador is seeing this scene now.
This discovery made his expression become more solemn. At least from this aspect, Time Magazine was not short of money.
And unlike Smith, he had more experience. Although he didn't find the surveillance point, his intuition told him that he was being watched.
This is something that has not been felt even in the Ministry of Electric Power.
"It seems that this Miss Claire is not simple!"
After observing for a while, Ambassador Lionheart took out his notebook from his arms and took out a check in denomination of one hundred thousand gold coins.
After thinking about it, he put it back and exchanged it for a check in denomination of 200,000 yuan.
Soon, the civil servant of the embassy went in and handed over the greeting card, and then Ambassador Lionheart entered the room on crutches.
Claire was watching the installation of the new machine on site and returned as soon as she got the news.
"Mr. Ambassador?"
"Miss Claire!"
The Lion-Hearted Ambassador extended his hand to shake.
But the bodyguard next to Claire had sharp eyes and took half a step forward to block the opponent.
The Lion-Hearted Ambassador was stunned, and then withdrew his hand.
This embarrassment was not enough to embarrass him.
Just from a simple contact, he found out that Miss Claire was really not simple, at least she was more assertive than his father.
Claire acted as if she hadn't noticed these small details and invited the Lionheart Ambassador upstairs.
This six-story building actually has an elevator.
This made the Lionheart Ambassador look even more suspiciously.
When he sat down, the clerk brought him a glass of water.
In terms of attitude, it feels completely different.
The Lionheart Ambassador could feel the contempt from the bottom of his heart.
From top to bottom, no one really takes him seriously.
"Miss Claire, I would like to ask what conditions will allow you to stop reporting false news about our country." Ambassador Lionheart directly stated his purpose.
"First of all, this is not false news. Secondly... Mr. Ambassador should condemn your king. Why would you force a loyal minister who is dedicated to serving the country to rebel?" Claire refused to give in: "I know Haman. He is a very kind man. A gentleman who is very willing to serve the country. When he left Daxia, he also told me that he would build the Lion Heart Kingdom as prosperous and powerful as Daxia. "
Ambassador Lionheart knew the details of this matter, and he even met the international student Haman.
However, the positions and attitudes are different.
"The Lionheart Kingdom does not belong to Haman. He has no power to bypass the royal family. Of course... I admit that this is a pity, but does it matter whether it is right or wrong?" the ambassador said.
It’s not that the rulers don’t recognize their mistakes, they just feel that the cost of admitting them is too high.
And riots happen every year, do we have to compromise every time?
When the riots get out of hand, it won't matter whether they are willing to reconcile.
"Look, this is our disagreement. Mr. Ambassador, you can go back." Claire drove them away.
Ambassador Lionheart took out the check: "Two hundred thousand gold coins, is that enough?"
"Is two hundred thousand gold coins a lot?" Claire asked?
Ambassador Lionheart understood that Claire was different from his father.
He put away the check. It takes effort to make friends, but Time magazine was destined not to be a friend.
"Miss Claire, thank you for listening to my nonsense. I will also give you some advice. Never underestimate the strength of a kingdom."
Ambassador Lionheart explained the facts seriously. The Kingdom of Lionheart was weak, but that was for the Great Xia Empire. For an individual, he was also a behemoth.
"Are you threatening me?"
"No...please believe in my respect for the laws of Daxia, but within the legal scope, the kingdom cannot be underestimated." The confidence of the Lion Heart Ambassador's words sounded a bit lacking.
Claire ignored him.
Just in time, let’s see what the other party has to offer.
If you can't do it well, just do it, if you can't do it, use extra tricks.
Whether it's legal or not is not up to the bumpkin from the Lionheart Kingdom.
Referees, athletes and managers are all on the same team, so what do you win?
Claire began to expand the magazine step by step, and editor Frank also copied the pen and continued the serialization.
Obviously, driven by the people behind the scenes, this matter became bigger and bigger.
…
Ambassador Lionheart returned to the mansion and first reported the matter to the country.
Things like telegraph machines are really convenient for relaying things in transit, and you can cross the ocean in a few days.
Then he began to attack Time Magazine. He first purchased several newspapers and started a propaganda mode to refute Time Magazine's views.
The official materials provided by Lionheart Kingdom seem very convincing.
The other is to attack Time Magazine through their own methods, including poaching people, distribution channels, materials, etc.
There are many means of commercial competition, especially when costs are not important.
Under the attack of gold and silver, Time Magazine immediately encountered difficulties.
Claire encountered setbacks for the first time. Although Time Magazine had good sales, the other party was losing money and giving profits to distributors, which would naturally hit Time Magazine's sales channels.
Although she said that she would sanction the other party through other means, she still had a sense of pride in her bones, and it was impossible not to fight.
Coincidentally, the photos that had flown across the ocean were sent over, and she was immediately shocked and found her senior Frank: "These are photos sent back from the Western Continent. See if they are useful."
Frank was shocked when he saw them. Many of them exposed the atrocities of the Kingdom's army, so of course they were useful.
But he was a little confused: "These photos were sent so quickly."
"Don't worry so much, see if they can be used."
"Of course, I can make the magazine sell well right away."
Just when Time Magazine was planning a counterattack, Qin was visiting the Royal Air Force.
The photos could be delivered so quickly, of course, because they were delivered by airplanes.
In seven or eight years, the Royal Air Force has accumulated a lot of data and has replaced aircraft several times.
Whether it is endurance, firepower, speed or reliability, they have all been greatly enhanced.
Since then, the Royal Air Force has also completed the first generation of personnel training and started to expand.
The first thing is to build military airports, requiring all regions of the empire to have conditions for deploying fighter jets.
Of course, there are also differences in order.
The line from the colony to the imperial capital has become the first choice.
