Chapter 743: Anti-Union Organization's Counterattack
"How much reaction has this video caused online?" Manina looked at Sion with a dark face.
"Your Majesty, it hasn't caused any movement yet." Sion quickly replied: "The video was posted 17 minutes ago. After the video was released, the website's reviewers immediately closed the comment area and took the initiative to reduce the popularity of the video.
So this video has not caused a large-scale discussion online."
"Go delete the video!" Manina frowned and said, "Why should we keep a video that will damage the reputation of the coalition government?"
"But...Okay, I'll ask my assistant to delete the video right away." Sion replied.
When he first saw this video, Sion's reaction was to quickly delete the video and ban his account.
But Duke Hayden is a seventh-level strongman and a noble duke, so he dare not do it.
Now that His Majesty has ordered it to be deleted, he has no scruples and just deletes it.
Sion contacted his assistant to delete the video by phone.
After he finished the call, Manina walked to the window sill of the study, turned around and said to him: "Come on, Xiong, come with me to Hayden's mansion now."
Xion was startled: "Your Majesty, should we take others with us?"
"No, are you afraid that he will rebel?" Manina sneered and flew out of the window first.
Xion did not dare to stay any longer and hurriedly followed the emperor.
...
However, things did not develop in the direction that Manina expected.
Two hours later, the entry "Blue Star people did not abuse prisoners, and the previous abuse of prisoners was all performed by the United Government" rushed to the top of the hot search list of major social media platforms on Skru Star.
The entry has such a high popularity not because of Duke Hayden's video.
In fact, after obtaining Manina's permission, Duke Hayden's video was deleted.
The real creator of this storm was the joint attack of the Emperor of the Macadon Kingdom, Macadon III (that is, the predecessor of Zhu Yuanzhang) and the Speaker of the Baker Kingdom, Cindy Doppler.
Half a month ago, the incident of "Skrull soldiers being abused by Blue Star people in Blue Star prisoner-of-war camps" triggered widespread discussion on Skrull Star. The United Government made a big publicity about this incident, and the Anti-Union Organization was under unprecedented pressure.
There was even a time when "Anti-Union Organization" could be equated with "Skrull rapists".
But at that time, Senior Zhu and Cindy Doppler began to plan a counterattack.
In the past half month, they actively contacted veterans in the prisoner-of-war camps and used a lot of money to dig out the most authentic and reliable truth from their mouths.
Among them, the most important character contacted was Lanqi's brother Rambo.
Rambo had a good impression of the Blue Star people, and he had no choice but to frame the Blue Star people in the media.
Senior Zhu approached him and promised to give him political asylum.
Under the cover of the diplomatic embassy, Rambo successfully escaped from the Lieyang Empire and came to the territory of the Macadon Kingdom.
Here, he had no scruples and told all his experiences on Blue Star and recorded them into a video.
…
In the past ten days, Senior Zhu and Cindy Doppler have not launched a counterattack but have been quietly accumulating strength, just to wait for a suitable opportunity.
Now the opportunity has finally come!
Although Duke Hayden's video was only posted on social networking sites for more than ten minutes, with his influence, at least tens of thousands of people have watched this video, including the intelligence departments of the Macaton Kingdom and Baker Kingdom.
This video can be said to have sounded the clarion call for Senior Zhu and his team to fight back.
Just when Duke Hayden's video was deleted, Senior Zhu posted Rambo's video.
In the video, Rambo sat upright at the table and said seriously: "Hello everyone who is watching the video, I am Rambo, the elder brother of Lanqi, the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force.
Here, I want to apologize to everyone.
In fact, in the Blue Star prisoner-of-war camp, no matter which Skrull prisoner was abused. Not only were we not abused, on the contrary, we received a lot of preferential treatment, such as... (300 words omitted).
The reason why I said on the "Voice of the Sun" program that I was abused in the Blue Star prisoner-of-war camp was completely forced to do so by the organizer.
I solemnly declare here that I have not suffered any abuse at the hands of the Blue Star people. As for the scars on my body, they were left to me by the "Flare" organization when I was still on the Skrull planet. The Blue Star people even spared no effort to heal these injuries for me.
Let me show you the evidence..."
At the end of the video, Rambo put a lot of photos and videos he took on the Blue Star.
These photos and videos include the food, dormitories, and libraries of the prisoner-of-war camp, as well as the playground of Blue Star, the sports meeting held for them by the Blue Star people, and even the videos he shot in major Blue Star cities after leaving the prisoner-of-war camp.
…
Senior Zhu uploaded Rambo's video to the Internet using his personal account.
Not only Rambo's video, but also the video that Duke Hayden had just deleted and the testimonies of several other soldiers who had been to the prisoner-of-war camp were uploaded to the Internet by him.
Cindy Doppler did not discuss it with Senior Zhu in advance.
But he also knew that this was a very good opportunity.
So he quickly supported Senior Zhu on the Internet and posted the evidence and hard work he had collected.
Senior Zhu and Cindy Doppler attacked at the same time, and their network public relations departments were also working hard.
Spend money to buy traffic, buy top posts, buy hot searches, buy push notifications, brush comments, likes and reposts...
Plus, the quality of the topic itself was enough to cause a sensation, so the topic immediately exploded in the online world!
It only took a few hours for almost every Skrull who often surfed the Internet to know about this.
The public opinion on the Internet rose in waves, and the voices condemning the United Government filled every corner of the Internet.
"Too much! I was still scolding the Blue Star people a few days ago, and now you tell me that it was the United Government acting?"
"Yes, yes, no, no, is your acting interesting?"
"The Blue Star people treated the prisoners so well, just to show their attitude and not want to fight, and the United Government actually distorted the facts?"
"Deliberately discrediting the enemy in order to gain support for the war, they are really war profiteers with no bottom line! And the most tragic thing is that the cost of the war has to be borne by our broad masses of people."
...
There was a lot of scolding on the Internet.
The official websites of the United Government and the Expeditionary Force were almost paralyzed because of the influx of angry people complaining.
The Anti-United Forces are completely proud this time!
They keep stirring up topics in the online world, fanning the flames, and revealing the truth of the matter.
The support rate of the general public for the Anti-United Nations Organization showed a "V" shape, rebounding rapidly, which also made the voice against the invasion of Blue Star return to the mainstream again.
For a time, the Internet was full of voices saying "Don't trust the United Government and refuse to pay for those hateful war profiteers."
Senior Zhu and Doppler's plan was a complete success.
