Alchemy Greater China

Long Hao was dressed in a dark blue Chinese-style gown, a ZSS bowler hat, and cloth shoes. He walked like a Land Rover, looking like an oriental elder.

It stands to reason that at Long Hao's age, it's inappropriate to dress like this, but it depends on the time and occasion. When playing the role of a 'victim' nowadays, Long Hao's Chinese-style attire can indeed win people's sympathy.

Sometimes, discrimination also represents sympathy, and it is not too much to use it a little bit.

Long Hao walked in the front alone, and the two confidante who were inseparable on weekdays disappeared at this time. Even though there were a group of city officials accompanying him behind, he couldn't help but look alone, and his appearance always showed a sympathetic sense of embarrassment .

Yes, a fleet of the U.S. Navy has been pointing at him, and has been bombarded for several days. Under such strong external pressure, someone else might have collapsed long ago!It can be said that the Earl of Beihai has survived until now, and even appeared in this press conference aimed at him with his back straight, which is worthy of everyone's applause.

Is the U.S. Navy great?

With the firepower of unknown battleships as support, can they run amok?

How can you bully people like this! ?

Long Hao walked all the way to the stage, and the reporters next to him took pictures and talked about it.

"Look, the Earl of Beihai looks extremely haggard!"

"Nonsense, can you not be haggard? The ships that have been shelled by Benson in the past few days, I have made a brief count, and the compensation alone will cost the Earl millions of dollars!"

"Hey, there are so many million dollars! No wonder his face is so ugly, this is money that I can't earn in a few lifetimes!"

"Hey, you are new here! This amount of money is nothing to the Earl of the North Sea. He is rich and powerful. The checks issued by the Rothschild Bank alone are as huge as 3000 million pounds. It really worries him. Yes, I am afraid it is those industries that have to be transferred, as well as those employees who come to ask for resignation and settlement of wages!"

"The Earl of Beihai is so rich, are those employees stupid? Why did they resign?"

"It's not because of Benson's fleet. No matter how good the money is, you have to spend it! One shot. Who can survive?"

None of the journalists who were discussing on the sidelines were qualified reporters. Just as Long Hao walked halfway, a hot female reporter jumped out from the group of reporters. She held a big microphone and handed it to Long Hao: "Your Earl, Okay, I'm Louisiana, a reporter from the San Jose Mercury News. May I ask why you came here? Do you know the content of this press conference? May I ask, are you not afraid that the gunboat on the opposite side will suddenly attack here?"

Long Hao glanced at Louisiana, then looked around.The gloomy voice was amplified by the microphone, and it appeared deep and heavy: "I know the content, but I have to come! Because that witness is false, and to expose him, I have to show up and confront him in person!"

"Is that witness a fake?" Louisiana's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "Excuse me, Lord Earl. Why are you so sure?"

"It's very simple, because I have nothing to do with the disappearance of the five American destroyers!"

Long Hao's voice was amplifying: "Banson has been framing me from the beginning to the end. He wanted to force me to go to his gunboat... Although I don't understand the conspiracy, but I, Long Hao, walked upright and sat up straight. What has never been done is what has not been done, so the witness he brought in is just to continue pouring dirty water on me. If it is fake, it will not be true, and when I talk to him later, he will naturally reveal his truth!"

After Long Hao finished speaking, he took a picture with Louisiana, and then led the old Stevenson and other municipal staff to continue walking forward.

"Okay. It seems that the Earl of Beihai has made up his mind. Then, let us wait and see how he will expose this fake witness!"

After taking a good photo, Louisiana added something later, this qualitative word resounded through the microphone, and it was meant to boost Long Hao's momentum.

Long Hao's momentum was strengthened, and Kerim on the stage was naturally very dissatisfied. He glared at the subordinate next to him: How do you do the job, where is the microphone?As the protagonist of the press conference, why don't I even have a microphone by my side?

The subordinates were very aggrieved, looked at each other and then lowered their heads: ah, bah, the second generation of officials, you are the only one who is demanding, and it would be nice if I could set up a platform for you. Do you need a microphone?Who else has that thing besides reporters?Why can't we remove the PA equipment on the battleship and carry it to the shore for you?Even if it is possible, the stingy Brit won't!

Without a microphone, Kerim used his mouth as a loudspeaker, and he shouted loudly, "Don't be fooled by the count's nonsense! I assure you on the honor of the U.S. Navy that this This witness is absolutely true, and nothing he said is false!"

But it's a pity that Kerim's words didn't seem to have any effect. After all, Benson's fleet bombarded it first, and it bombarded it for so many days and destroyed so many ships. The reputation of the navy...is really not convincing.

Ignoring Kerim's yelling, the reporters stared at Louisiana and Dejon Wade, who was grinning, and tried hard to remember what they did, and then thought it through so that they could understand it in their hearts.

Wade and the "San Jose Courier-Journal" he chaired are now considered a new star in the media industry. Through the "San Francisco Bombardment Crisis", the "San Jose Mercury-Journal" has changed from a local newspaper in the west to a national newspaper. Big newspaper trend!

In this crisis, many of Wade's practices have become examples for his peers to learn from.

For example, he entered the Chamber of Commerce in disguise to obtain the Earl of the North Sea's "Salvage Shipwreck Plan". For example, he took photos of the crisis from various angles and sent them to his counterparts in the east. For example, he innovatively used the photos as a newspaper issue. The main content... Although these methods seem simple, they can arouse readers' attention and desire to read, which can be regarded as opening up a brand new marketing path for the media industry.

Of course, the media industry also plays an important role in influencing stock market price fluctuations in this shelling crisis. After the unprecedented two-day roller coaster of the US stock market on May 5 and 23, the media industry has already occupied the hearts of some big shots. extremely important position.

To put it bluntly, after the bombardment crisis passes, because of the successful case of the "San Jose Mercury News", major consortiums in the United States will increase their investment in the media industry.It can be expected that the media industry in the United States will also usher in a spring of vigorous development!

Therefore, under the confession of the bosses of their respective newspapers, De Jong Wade has become the focus of attention of reporters from all sides. His words and deeds may be written into the instruction manual for reconstructing their own newspapers...

Long Hao looked up at the platform.The stage is not big, so there are not many people standing there, only Kerim, Paul, and less than ten US military officers in navy uniforms.

Long Hao walked up to the stage and stood still in front of this group of people, but the old Stevenson and the rest of the people behind wanted to follow, but were stopped by Long Hao waving without looking back: "No need, I'm afraid they will plant a bomb under this table, and they will blow it up. Just kill me alone..."

bomb?

The people who heard this were startled at first, but then they realized that this was Long Hao's teasing words, which were used to ridicule the people in Benson's fleet for not doing things honestly: Yes, they can swagger and drive battleships to blockade purely commercial seaports, What despicable and shameless things can't Benson and the others do?

Old Stevenson and the others had always followed Long Hao's lead, and they would naturally obey what Long Hao said, so they all stopped on the ladder by the side of the stage and watched Long Hao go up alone.

Long Hao swung the gown forward with one hand.After walking forward for a few more steps, the whole person really has the taste of a strong man who is gone forever.

Kerim heard the words.His nose was almost crooked, and he shouted: "Earl Beihai, don't talk nonsense, what kind of bomb, if I plant a bomb, wouldn't even so many people like me be killed?"

Long Hao smiled.The voice is loud, many times better than Kerim's drake voice: "Oh, it would be best if there were no bombs... Okay, I'm here too, what are you going to do next. I'm here to put my heart into it appreciate!"

Long Hao's sarcastic voice made most of the reporters in the audience cover their mouths and snicker. It was a good press conference. After Long Hao said this, it was a bit like a circus performance specially put on by Colonel Benson, while Kerim and Paul Waiting for someone, it's that generous clown who makes me laugh!

Kerim knew that his side was unpopular at the moment, but he had no choice but to attack, so he bit the bullet and said the opening remark in his drake voice: the general meaning is nothing more than finding witnesses, and we can Proof that the Earl of the North Sea did indeed sink five destroyers of the US Navy.

"Next, we invite Mr. Paul to talk about the terrible experience he has suffered..." Kerim pushed the trembling Paul to the front, and whispered in his ear: "Remember, don't say anything unnecessary, just Follow what we rehearsed before!"

Kerim had no idea how reliable Paul was, but Benson forced him to hold a press conference.

With a pale face and trembling, Paul stepped forward and stammered, "I, I know him, he, it was him, it was him who hit... killed my comrade in arms, my name is Paul, and it's the Colin." The crew on board, including me and us, the Zhelin, the Charling, the Bolin, the Colin, and the Visgar were all brutally rammed by him after asking him to stop the ship for inspection but failed ... the sunk ..."

"We have more than 200 sailors. After the ship sank, instead of rescuing us in a humanitarian spirit, he ordered to shoot us and drive us to death... Woohoo, so many brothers, so alive I was forced to death by this ruthless person, I was forced to death..."

"He is a murderous devil. He took the lead in launching a shameless attack on the U.S. Navy. He, he is the enemy of the United States. I ask you to keep your eyes open, support us in arresting this devil, and avenge my dead comrades. Woo Woo..."

The content of what Paul said was not beyond the expectations of the reporters, and his expression was too stiff, so even if the content was explosive, it was not half convincing.

Not to mention the reporters, but even the navy soldiers who had finished setting up the stage and stood below were very disappointed: Is it just a verbal accusation?Without dry goods, what fighting power is there?Oh, we know Paul, the lucky wretch, but other people don't know him. They can think that he is an idiot we randomly picked up to 'framing' the Earl of Beihai!

"Are you finished?"

Long Hao chuckled. The decibels of this masculine voice alone completely surpassed the sum of Paul's words just now, giving people a sense of being upright and upright, and wanting to expose the other party's conspiracy: "It's time for me to say something now?"

"You, me. Mmm..."

Paul was obviously intimidated by Long Hao's aura, he shrank his head, looked at the big devil in his heart in fear, backed up, and almost fell on his back.

"Okay, let's not talk about the authenticity of your identity for the time being. Just assume that you are a crew member on the Colin!" Long Hao raised his head and chest, and stepped forward and asked: "Paul, let me ask You, the five destroyers you speak of, what is your usual speed?"

"Uh……"

Paul's nerves are only up and down, and his brain is obviously not burned: "Yes, it is more than 20 knots."

"Since it's 20 knots, as you said. How many warships are there on my side? What is the speed?"

"You only have one battleship, the latest ironclad cruiser, with a speed of 20 knots, but..." Paul replied subconsciously, but just when Kerim realized something was wrong, Long Hao's voice raised another octave , interrupting Paul's answer.

"Oh, that's interesting. According to this Mr. Paul, I only have one cruiser. The speed is 20 knots. When facing five destroyers with a speed of 20 knots or more, I can not only win, but also all Annihilating each other? Not one of them was missed?" Long Hao smiled and said, "I have such a great ability, haha. This is the first time I've heard of it! If this is true, I don't think the U.S. Navy should cooperate with me. As an enemy, you should make friends with me, because as long as my "cruiser" can be equipped on a large scale, the future maritime hegemony will not be the United Kingdom, but the United Kingdom and the emerging United States!"

Long Hao's words were actually full of evil intentions, and they slightly provoked the relationship between Britain, the United States and the European powers.

After all, just outside this port, there are six British battleships marked with the American flag!

What impact will the United Kingdom and the United States have on the increasingly tense European situation?

How will France, Germany, Russia... react to this?

I believe that when these reporters dutifully spread these words to Europe, those princes, ministers, and emperors and prime ministers will all think about it.

"You, your cruiser is old and weird..."

Paul stammered, "That cruiser of yours can suddenly become very fast..."

"soon?"

Long Hao asked with a smile: "Then how fast?"

"At least 50 knots!"

Paul blurted out, and Kerim behind heard it, and immediately covered his face: Idiot, I forgot to tell him, paralyzed, 2 goods are 2 goods, I won’t let you say that our ship was destroyed alive, you Why are you talking about speed again? At a speed of 50 knots, who can believe this shit?In fact, even now I am half-believing...

The speed of 50 knots is like telling people now: the train can run at a high-speed rail speed of 300 miles!

Even the reporters who didn't know much about marine knowledge widened their eyes, and then sneered, covering their mouths.

Wahahaha, for a 50-knot cruiser, if the Earl of Beihai has this technology, then he will probably become the most popular ship designer on this planet!This is definitely the funniest nonsensical news this year. The so-called "survivor Paul" that Kerim found is really talented. If you want to falsely accuse the Earl of Beihai, please find a more reliable reason, please?Hehe, even if you say that the Earl of Beihai wiped out those five destroyers with a reorganized battle fleet, it is much more credible than this!

"Oh, 50 knots, it turns out that 'my battleship' has such a fast speed, so how can I use a 50-knot battleship to surround your five destroyers? Will you not escape? Can't escape? Can't shoot? Just like what you have done these days..." Long Hao gained the upper hand, and now he said in a relaxed and teasing tone.

"What's the use of our firing!?"

Paul yelled: "Your ship just hit it directly, it's unreasonable, we can't even hide, we were hit and sunk by you!"

When Paul got agitated, he completely forgot the main points that Kerim had explained in advance, and directly stated the facts.

"Crash, sink,? You mean, my boat hit, sank, all of you?"

With an exaggerated expression on Long Hao's face, he focused on 'collision': "Oh, it turns out that I own a legendary cruiser, which not only has an enviable high speed, but also has a sturdy and durable armor. , can you sink an ironclad ship alive?"

"Hahaha……"

There is no need to warm up this time, and the reporters below laughed wildly. Now the fact is very simple: this press conference is a joke, and Paul, the clown, has fulfilled his duties perfectly from the very beginning, using exaggeration and Absurd techniques, with funny and absurd reasons, make them laugh heartily.

"You guys, what are you laughing at?"

Paul was in a hurry. He waved his arms on the stage and shouted angrily: "What I said is the truth, it is the truth! Don't laugh, you have to believe me. That day, the big devil used his boat to take us Five warships were sunk one by one! What I said is the truth, if you don’t believe me, you have to believe those sailors who died unjustly! They all died fighting for the safety of the United States. Their spirits in heaven told me, The murderer must be brought to justice!"

"Okay, since you don't hesitate to swear on Heroic Spirit, I'll give you another chance!"

Long Hao had the chance to win at this time, and said again: "Let me ask you, even if what you said earlier is true, I wiped you all with a fast and heavily armored cruiser, so how did you survive?" Yes? If I really have such a powerful warship, in order not to leak the secrets, I will definitely wipe out all witnesses. May I ask you, Mr. Paul, what trick do you have to survive from me?" (unfinished to be continued..)
