Go: The live broadcast queen launched a gorgeous rebellion against the dog

Chapter 1220 Confusing right and wrong

"……no?
"Do those idiots at Fox News even have brains?!"

March 25, 2028, 9:00 AM, White House, North America, a small meeting room next to the Oval Office.

President Donald Tripp, who was sitting in the main seat of the conference room, couldn't help but let out a hysterical roar.

On the tablet screen in front of him, multiple media outlets clearly displayed reports of the latest interview with John Davis, head of Fox News content. The glaring headline, "God Is A Girl," pierced his nerves like a needle!

"...It's one thing to lose the information war, but to resort to using archival material to give the other side room to maneuver?!"
"You're just making things worse!!!"

Faced with the president's anger, the conference room fell into a deathly silence!
Everyone held their breath, afraid to make a sound; only Tripp's heavy breathing could be clearly heard.

His chest heaved violently, clearly enraged by the left-wing media—he desperately needed someone to vent his anger on, a scapegoat to bear the brunt of his fury!

After venting his anger, the Grand Commander's fiery gaze suddenly turned to Zhang Zhengxi, who was sitting below him with a pale face!
"...Zhang! You piece of trash!"
"If it weren't for your defensive strategy, we wouldn't be in such a passive position!"

He shifted all the blame onto Zhang Zhengxi, as if all the previous decisions were made by Zhang Zhengxi alone.

Immediately, he stood up abruptly, poked the other man's nose with his finger, and announced his verdict in a resolute voice, word by word:
"I'm telling you now—you're fired!"

"Get as far away from me as you can right now! Right now!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhengxi's body trembled violently, and his face instantly turned from pale to ashen.

He opened his mouth as if to argue, but in the end he just lowered his head helplessly and slumped his shoulders slightly, as if he had expected this outcome.

However, seeing this sudden dismissal, the chief of staff couldn't sit still and couldn't help but speak up to advise him:

"But, Your Excellency...we are currently in a very tight spot regarding propaganda and public opinion!"

"Although some of Manager Zhang's previous strategies were questionable, if he is dismissed now, who will take charge of public relations and propaganda..."

"Of course it is me!"

Tripp interrupted without hesitation, his face displaying an air of domineering confidence, as if it were a matter of course!

"...It was all because of Zhang, that bastard, giving me all sorts of bad ideas that things got messed up!"

"From now on, I will personally take charge! I'm determined to turn things around!"

...The Grand Commander himself is coming?!
Upon hearing this, an eerie silence instantly fell over the conference room!

The group exchanged glances, a complex and unspoken emotion flashing in their eyes. Everyone seemed to want to say something, but seeing Tripp's unwavering expression and burning anger in his eyes, they ultimately chose silence.
Looking at this capricious commander, Zhang Zhengxi could only manage a bitter smile.

"Mr. President, I accept being fired!"

His voice carried a calm that came after everything had settled, as if he were offering a final piece of advice:

"But I still suggest that we consider making concessions and reaching a settlement, or it would be better to handle this situation by giving it the cold shoulder."

"Right now, both her actual ability and her reputation in the sports world and among liberals are simply outrageous! I've never seen anyone so outrageous..."

"you shut up!"

Tripp immediately shouted to stop them, waving his hand as if shooing away a fly:

"You want me to back down?! And you want me to give you the silent treatment?! "

"I am a born winner, the supreme leader of the Blue Star Hegemony, and without a doubt the most powerful person in the world!"
"Why should I be afraid of a little girl?!"

"But Commander-in-Chief... at this point, it's probably too late to change our strategy!"

Zhang Zhengxi earnestly advised:

"Even if Deepbrain's AI were to win against Rui Zhao now, it probably wouldn't make a difference."

"With Rui Zhao's current skill level, she can even occasionally make a move or two in the mid-game that is better than what the AI ​​can see immediately! She might even be able to maintain a win rate of around 50% against opponents who last until about 100 moves!"
"Unless Rui Zhao performs terribly in the actual competition, given her current influence, even if she loses to the AI, countless people will still idolize her..."

"It didn't work?!"

Tripp scoffed, a disdainful expression on his face:
"Rui Zhao's current popularity is just due to her performance in the challenge match where she has the first move, isn't it?"
"Then let's try to find a way to refute her performance!"

"……what?!"

Upon hearing this, the chief of staff looked troubled and cautiously reminded him:
"But Rui Zhao's outstanding performance is something she achieved through her own hard work... How can you deny that?"

"Humph!"

Tripp scoffed, a look on his face that said, "You're all too naive."

"They can't even manage to smear people or distort the truth... what kind of media hegemony do they have!"

Everyone was stunned by his words, their faces filled with astonishment—clearly, no one had expected the supreme leader of the mighty Blue Star to speak so bluntly! However, Tripp remained seemingly unconcerned. He leaned forward slightly, placed his hands on the table, and, in a low voice, revealed his meticulously planned scheme:
"I've already come up with a plan!"
"Perfect timing...Isn't Rui Zhao a completely broken-down strong one?"
"We accused her of cheating in the competition, which is why she delivered a performance that completely surpassed everyone else's—otherwise, it wouldn't make any sense at all!"

"Cheating in the competition?!"

The chief of staff exclaimed in shock:
"But all the matches in the Special Challenge were broadcast live under multiple cameras, and the signal jamming and venue setup before the matches were done jointly by both sides. There was even video recording and notarization. How can you criticize that..."

"What's wrong with that?!"

Tripp waved his hand confidently:
"We were able to whitewash a war with just a small bottle of laundry detergent back then, so why can't we deal with a little girl?"

……ah?!
So that really was laundry detergent!
Everyone froze upon hearing this; none of them expected the North American president to so casually reveal such classified information—this was utterly outrageous!

However, Tripp seemed completely unaware of the bombshell he had dropped, or rather...

He doesn't care at all!

He continued to describe his plan, his voice filled with an excited sense of control:

"I see that Rui Zhao is always having a good chat with those challengers before each match, so let's just accuse them of being bribed by Rui Zhao in advance!"

"It may seem like Rui Zhao played exceptionally well, but that's only because both sides had memorized the entire game beforehand, creating an artificial god-like image!"

"The goal is to create hype, expand commercial value, collect copyright fees, and then split the spoils—the entire Go world is a den of snakes and rats!"
“As long as the waters are stirred up, there will be a great deal of room for questioning her so-called ‘historic performance’ in ruling the country.

"And at this point, let Deepbrain step in with a sense of righteousness! Just annihilate her!"
"If we can beat her three or four times in a row, humiliate her, and then use public opinion to label her a cheater... she'll never be able to clear her name!"

"Let alone competing for the title of greatest athlete of all time!"

This……

Is this okay? !
The people in the conference room looked at each other in bewilderment upon hearing this.

The chief of staff was initially taken aback by this audacious, almost insane plan, but quickly reminded him:
"But Commander-in-Chief... this Rui Zhao is extremely skilled!"
"What I've seen in the Go section of the Red Dot Forum is basically the same as what Manager Zhang just said:"
"Although Rui Zhao is definitely not as strong as AI, judging from the level she showed in these eight special challenge matches, even the most advanced AI would probably not be able to establish a clear advantage against her for at least a hundred moves!"

"Anyone who understands Go would know from such a performance that Rui Zhao's skill level is so high that other players can only look up to her..."

"so what?!"

Tripp immediately interrupted him impatiently, clearly annoyed that his chief of staff was being too long-winded:
"To be honest, most people don't really understand Go, okay?! They just look at the result."

"Now, a lot of people still think that during World War II our Allied forces liberated Bobo!"

"As long as AI beats Rui Zhao 3-0 or 4-0, our online army can come out and throw mud at him together, and we can turn white into black!"

"She...she's a cheater!"

Having said that, the golden-haired commander delivered his final verdict, then looked around and asked sharply:
"Does anyone else have questions?"

Upon hearing this, the entire conference room fell into a deathly silence.

The expressions on everyone's faces were complicated... but in the end, they all fell silent!
It seems everyone thinks that, despite Tripp's usual unreliability, his bold plan just now...

Don’t say that!
You know what?!

Of course, following this approach, it's easy to foresee that this matter will be fiercely criticized by many truly knowledgeable people, thus sparking huge controversy!

It has even severely damaged the country's credibility in international public opinion!
But if one only focuses on current approval ratings and securing a second term as president...

...It does seem to be a simple, direct, and potentially effective method!
This is the tyranny of the Blue Planet's media hegemony!
Seeing that no one had any objections, Tripp's face showed a satisfied expression.

He immediately pressed on, his voice urgent:

"When is the next special challenge match with a handicap?"

The chief of staff quickly looked down at the documents in his hand and replied swiftly:

"Uh... according to the competition schedule of the three East Asian countries..."

"The next challenge should be against Rui Zhao, this year's Sanshuang Cup champion!"

He paused for a moment, then quickly calculated the time:
"The Sanshuang Cup officially begins its main tournament the day after tomorrow. According to this schedule, the new Sanshuang Cup champion will challenge Rui Zhao around April 10th!"

"That means there are only two weeks left!"

Tripp slammed his fist on the table and immediately issued an unquestionable order:
"You! Get ready right now!"
"Go and fabricate some evidence and then post it anonymously to expose them! Make sure you're fully prepared before the next challenge!"
"This time we must get that Go goddess..."

"Kill him in one go!"
