As one of the two largest countries on the planet Skrull, the Sun Empire has extraordinary cultural influence and public opinion guidance!
It can be said that if a butterfly from the Sun Empire flaps its wings, it may set off a tornado in small countries around the world.
"Voice of Lieyang" is another top five mainstream media in the Lieyang Empire.
Therefore, once Rambo's interview program was broadcast, it immediately attracted worldwide attention.
In the show, Rambo's upper body is covered with ferocious scars, and ordinary Skrull soldiers are covered in blood and missing arms and legs. These all give the Skrull citizens a great visual impact!
(When the Blue Stars sent the Skrull soldiers back, they were all healthy. In order to create the illusion that the Blue Stars were bloody and cruel, the expeditionary force maimed and injured these healthy soldiers to take photos of "evidence"
", and paid hush money afterwards.)
This incident was quickly hyped to the forefront and ranked at the top of the hot search lists on major websites.
Not only online, but also in the real world of Skrull, people in major cities in the Sun Empire spontaneously took to the streets to hold demonstrations, demanding that His Majesty the Emperor take reciprocal retaliation against the Blue Star humans;
Millions of people also spontaneously organized themselves into the Lenkert Alliance and took to the streets.
And I don't know who brought up the old accusation that Su Yu "caused the death of hundreds of thousands of poor people when he first came to Trena City".
Once the two events were superimposed, public opinion in the Renkert Alliance surged, and they wanted to send troops to Blue Star immediately!
The public support ratings of the two G2 governments have also reached a historic high.
…
In this rapidly expanding public opinion, the people who are most stressed are actually not the Blue Star people.
The Blue Star people didn't know what the Skrulls were discussing. They were still rejoicing over the 1,100 tons of gold they had just obtained.
The ones that are really under great pressure are Cindy Doppler's Baker Kingdom and Senior Zhu's Macaton Kingdom.
This wave of public opinion is coming. Everyone on the Internet and in reality is clamoring to destroy the Blue Star human species. The "peaceful coexistence" they promote is greatly suppressed.
Some people even publicly said that they have been bullied like this, and anyone who does not support the "species destruction of Blue Star humans" is definitely a traitor!
This makes them quite passive.
…
In the royal palace of the Kingdom of Makaton, Senior Zhu Yuanzhang was lying on his side on the dragon chair, looking straight ahead at the "Voice of the Sun" interview with Rambo.
Originally, he didn't pay much attention to this matter.
But the situation was so big that he had to find out what was going on.
There were four concubines kneeling beside him, serving him, and from time to time they handed him some fruits that he could even see.
The four concubines tried their best to show off their charm, hoping to gain the favor of His Majesty the King.
But Senior Zhu didn't even look at them. These "green-skinned females" were too ugly according to his aesthetics, so he focused almost all of his attention on the interview program.
During the interview program, Rambo answered various questions from the host according to the script with a dull face, telling about his hellish experience at 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 look so dull? He must have suffered inhuman abuse!
However, Senior Zhu looked at it and shook his head.
He had been told that "Rambo cuckolded Emperor Lieyang" before, and the intelligence personnel he sent investigated everything very clearly. This man named "Rambo" is a ruthless person.
Also, when Zhong Feng was still here, he heard Zhong Feng talk about the plan of "Blue Star people treat the captives kindly and want the captives to speak good words to humanity after returning to the planet Skrull." This level of abuse should not exist.
Besides, this "Rambo" guy is a sixth-level warrior, and his body is far harder than diamond. With Blue Star's current torture methods, it won't cause him so many scars.
Based on these three points, Senior Zhu judged that Rambo was lying, and the coalition government must have deliberately asked him to say that.
Since Rambo is lying, the scars all over his body are intriguing.
Senior Zhu vaguely felt that he should start from here to fight back against this wave of public opinion.
…
Seeing that His Majesty the King kept shaking his head, one of his concubines came over quickly with bright eyes: "Your Majesty, do you feel uncomfortable in your neck? Do you want me to massage it for you?"
Hearing this concubine's words, the other concubines all showed annoyed looks, as if they were hating that they had not thought of this and were beaten to the punch.
Senior Zhu glanced at the concubine expressionlessly, patted her shoulder, and said: "Emma, go and notify Edmund, the leader of the Tiqi, to come over. Remember, hurry!"
"Tiqi" is the intelligence department created by Senior Zhu after he became king.
The word "Tiqi" was originally an elegant name for Jinyiwei. He founded Jinyiwei when he was at Blue Star, and then it was still used here.
He is not afraid of any trouble if the name "Tiqi" is known to the Skrulls.
After all, few Blue Star people, even people from China, know this word, let alone the Skrulls. It is impossible for them to guess his identity just 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 unexpectedly she was assigned to do errands.
However, she did not dare to disobey His Majesty the King's orders.
She bowed to Senior Zhu and then left the palace with a dark look on her 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 chair: "Your Majesty, do you have anything to say to me?"
"Edmund, let me ask you, do you know about Rambo's exclusive interview with Voice of the Sun?"
"Of course I know." Edmund said solemnly.
"Then do you know how many prisoners of war the expeditionary force ransomed?"
"Your Majesty, we are all people."
"Very good!" Senior Zhu sat up straight 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 beside His Majesty with some concern.
Since His Majesty wants 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 this kind of thing, so they all saluted Senior Zhu and prepared to leave.
However, Senior Zhu waved his hand: "You four don't have to leave, just stay here and listen."
Then he looked at Edmund: "Edmund, take your men to contact this prisoner and find out whether they are really being mistreated on Blue Star.
By the way, you should also collect evidence from these people on whether they were abused or not. The more conclusive the evidence, the better!”
"Okay, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your expectations!" Edmund replied immediately.
