Chapter 726: Public Opinion on Scrub Planet

As one of the two largest countries on the Skrull planet, the Sun Empire has an unimaginable cultural influence and power to guide public opinion!

It can be said that a butterfly flapping its wings in the Sun Empire could cause a tornado in small countries around the world.

"Sound of the Sun" is also one of the top five mainstream media in the Sun Empire.

So once Rambo's interview program was broadcast, it immediately attracted worldwide attention.

In the program, Rambo's upper body was covered with hideous scars, and ordinary Skrull soldiers were covered in blood and missing arms and legs, which gave Skrull citizens a great visual impact!

(When the Blue Star people sent the Skrull soldiers back, they were all healthy. In order to fabricate the illusion of "the bloody and brutal Blue Star people", the expeditionary force maimed and injured these healthy soldiers to shoot "evidence" and gave them hush money afterwards.)

This incident was quickly hyped to the forefront and topped the hot search list of major websites.

Not only online, but also in the real world of Skrull, people in major cities of the Fiery Sun Empire took to the streets to hold demonstrations and marches, demanding that His Majesty the Emperor take equal retaliatory actions against the humans of Blue Star;

In the Renket Alliance, millions of people also spontaneously organized and took to the streets.

And I don’t know who has brought up the old account of Su Yu’s “hundreds of thousands of poor people dying when he first came to Trena City”.

Once the two events were superimposed, public opinion in the Renket Alliance was surging, and they wanted to use troops against Blue Star immediately!

The public support rate of the two G2 governments also reached a historic high.

…

In this rapidly expanding public opinion, the people of Blue Star are not the most stressed.

The people of Blue Star don’t know what the Skrulls are discussing, and they are still happy about the 1,100 tons of gold they just obtained.

The ones who are really under great pressure are Cindy Doppler’s Baker Kingdom and Senior Zhu’s Macadon Kingdom.

This wave of public opinion surged, and everyone on the Internet and in reality clamored to destroy the human species on Blue Star. The set of remarks they promoted of "peaceful coexistence" was greatly suppressed.

Some people even publicly said that their own people had been bullied like this, and anyone who did not support "destroying the species of human beings on Blue Star" was a traitor!

This made them quite passive.

…

In the palace of the Kingdom of Macadon, Zhu Yuanzhang, the senior, was lying on the dragon chair, looking directly at the interview screen of "Voice of the Sun" with Rambo in front of him.

Originally, he didn't pay much attention to this matter.

But this matter was so big that he had to find out what happened.

There were four concubines kneeling beside him to serve him, and from time to time they handed him some fruits that he still liked.

The four concubines tried their best to release their charm, hoping to be favored by His Majesty the King.

But Senior Zhu didn't even look at them. According to his aesthetics, this group of "green-skinned females" was too ugly, and he focused almost all his attention on the interview program.

In the interview program, Rambo answered the host's questions according to the script with a dull face, telling about his hellish experience on Blue Star.

If he were an ordinary Skrull citizen, he might feel very sorry for Rambo.

How much suffering did this good sixth-level strongman suffer to make his face so dull? He must have suffered inhuman abuse!

However, Senior Zhu shook his head.

He had eaten the melon of "Rambo cheating on Emperor Lieyang" before, and the intelligence personnel he sent out investigated everything very clearly. This guy named "Rambo" is a ruthless person.

In addition, when Zhong Feng was still there, he heard Zhong Feng talk about the plan of "Blue Star people treating prisoners well and wanting prisoners to speak well of humans after returning to Skrull Star", and there should not be such a degree of abuse.

Besides, this "Rambo" brother is a sixth-level warrior, and his body is much harder than diamond. With the current torture methods on Blue Star, he will not be left with so many scars.

Combining these three points, Senior Zhu judged that Rambo was lying, and the United Government must have deliberately asked him to say so.

Since Rambo was lying, his scars all over his body were intriguing.

Senior Zhu vaguely felt that he should start from here and fight back against this wave of public opinion.

…

Seeing His Majesty constantly shaking his head, one of his concubines quickly came over with bright eyes: "Your Majesty, is your neck uncomfortable? Do you want me to massage you?"

Hearing the words of this concubine, the other concubines showed annoyance, as if they hated that they didn't think of this and were preempted.

Senior Zhu looked at this concubine expressionlessly, patted her on the shoulder, and said: "Emma, ​​go and notify Edmund, the leader of the 'Tiqi', to come over. Remember, be quick!"

"Tiqi" is the intelligence department that Senior Zhu created after he ascended to the throne and became king.

The word "Tiqi" was originally the elegant name of the Jinyiwei. He founded the Jinyiwei when he was on Blue Star, and then he used it here.

He was not afraid that the name "Tiqi" would cause trouble if the Skrulls knew it.

After all, the people of Blue Star, even the people of Huaxia, rarely knew this word, let alone the Skrulls. They couldn't guess his identity because of this.

The concubine named "Emma" in front of Senior Zhu was a little dumbfounded.

She just wanted to get close to His Majesty the King, but she didn't expect to be assigned to run errands.

However, she didn't dare to disobey His Majesty's order.

She bowed to Senior Zhu, and then walked out of the palace with a dark face under the mocking eyes of the other three concubines.

…

20 minutes later, Edmund, the leader of the "Tiqi", wearing a black tights, came to the palace and knelt down to Senior Zhu who was lying on the dragon throne: "Your Majesty, do you have something to ask me?"

"Edmund, let me ask you, do you know about 'Rambo's participation in the interview with the Voice of the Sun'?"

"Of course I know." Edmund said in a deep voice.

"Then do you know how many prisoners of war the expeditionary army redeemed in total?"

"Your Majesty, a total of 18,624 people."

"Very good!" Senior Zhu sat up and looked at him: "Now I will give you a task."

Hearing what His Majesty said, Edmund raised his head and looked at the four princesses around His Majesty with some worry.

Since His Majesty is going to assign him a task, should these four princesses leave to avoid suspicion?

The four princesses read the meaning in Edmund's eyes.

They were indeed not suitable to participate in such things, so they all saluted to Senior Zhu and prepared to leave.

However, Senior Zhu waved his hand and said, "You four don't have to leave, just stay here and listen."

Then he looked at Edmund and said, "Edmund, take your men to contact these 18,000 captives and find out whether they are really being abused on Blue Star.

By the way, you should also collect evidence from these people whether they have been abused or not. The more conclusive the evidence, the better!"

"Okay, Your Majesty, I will definitely not let you down!" Edmund replied immediately.
