Bupain City Television is the first TV station in Bupain and the first TV station in the Federation.

Many people call it a "federal television station". In fact, it is not because it is a private television station and is jointly owned by shareholders.

However, its political stance has always been biased towards those in power.

You can say it is just a wallflower, but every president who takes office will not find it so unbearable, because they will speak for whoever comes to power. Coupled with their usually impartial attitude, this makes it difficult for those in power. Find a point on it to attack.

On the contrary, I quite like it.

There is no need to spend money or resources to have someone willing to speak up for you. This kind of advantage is rare in the federation.

Not to mention that the ratings of Bupen City Radio have always been in the top three in the federal ratings, and its influence is staggering.

It was only six o'clock in the morning, but the station director, chairman of the board of directors, and some important people had already arrived at the TV station.

Just half an hour ago, at about 5:35, someone knocked on the door of the director's house, left a file bag and left quickly.

The station director lives in a high-end community. He doesn't know how that person got in. The community service company has arranged for people to investigate.

And in that file bag was an audio tape.

The contents of the tape are somewhat shocking.

"...One hundred million federal soles must be transferred into the... bank located in... within seventy-two hours. The account number is.... Every five minutes, we will kill one person until they are all killed!" "

In the conference room, everyone's expressions were extremely solemn. The man in the tape claimed to be the leader of a resistance organization in Marillo.

They attacked a federal military camp last night and captured the soldiers and doctors inside.

Their request is also very simple. Provide them with enough arms, food and other supplies, and secondly provide a ransom of 100 million federal soles. Only in this way will they release them.

Otherwise they will kill all the prisoners.

After hearing the end, the chairman of the board of directors rubbed his temples and asked, "Can you confirm it?"

He looked at the station director, who shook his head, "No news yet."

It's not that he can't confirm it, but he hasn't rested yet. He has entrusted a reliable friend to inquire about this matter. If nothing unexpected happens, he will get a reply soon.

But it definitely doesn't exist now. After all, it takes time to mobilize frontline personnel to investigate.

Not being sure means not being able to send it out on the morning news.

The chairman of the board of directors frowned, stood up, and took a few steps back and forth.

The frontline has not received exact information. If he broadcasts it in advance, it may cause unnecessary trouble!

But he was not sure whether other TV stations, newspapers, or magazines had received similar things!

His worries were actually meaningless because these things had already happened.

Marillo's kidnappers were afraid that they would hide the news if they were left alone with a certain media, so these tapes have been sent to most media, such as black market TV stations.

As the station director, Momo realized that this was an excellent opportunity to expand the influence of the station!

An opportunity to raise the TV station's ratings and influence to a higher level, and even directly catch up with the established TV stations! !

In fact, so far, the major TV stations have not produced any blockbuster news about the war, let alone sent frontline reporters to the war zones to cover the most real battlefields!

Everyone is afraid of death, and this is the Federation!

Everyone has the right to say no to you, no matter who you are.

Bum, executioner or president, if people want to do that, they can say no to you.

Maybe people will tolerate small things, but no reporter will do that if he goes to die on the front line.

And this means that the people actually have a very fragmented understanding of the war on the front line. They cannot get complete information and cannot restore the true situation.

This may also reflect from the side why war movies are so popular at this time, because many people imagine the scenes in war movies as what is happening on the front line at this time!

It's time for people to know the truth!

But there is a prerequisite, she must first determine whether this matter is true or false.

Soon, Lynch received a call from Momo.

He was not woken up. He got up early to exercise. Although his work was a little busier after returning to the Federation, he was not so tired. He would get up early every day to exercise.

When he received the call, he was taking a shower, rinsing his body while answering the call.

When he knew that Momo wanted him to inquire about the news on the front line, he casually agreed.

Not long after, the news came back from the front line that they could no longer contact the camp Lynch mentioned. It was very possible that the matter was true.

At the same time, this also let Lynch know another thing, Austin was also captured.

In the end, he did not choose to hide it, but told Momo about the incident and also called Mr. Trueman.

After Mr. Trueman became president, he no longer had so much time to exercise. He even needed to squeeze in time for rest, and he had no time to waste energy.

He didn't go to bed until after two o'clock in the evening, and it was just seven o'clock at this time. He heard Lynch's voice and said a few curse words. Sometimes this is also a trait that people who are close to him show, and there is no need to disguise himself.

"Tell me, it's definitely not good news so early."

Good news can lag, because good news is good news at any time, while bad news will only get worse and needs to be discovered early and then figured out how to deal with it.

Lynch explained what happened, and Mr. Trueman was stunned.

For the first time, this is the first time since he took office as president that he feels that the world is so funny!

A group of people actually hijacked federal soldiers to extort money from the federal government, and if they were not careful, it was he, the president, who ended up making a fool of himself.

He felt absurd and funny at first, then a little angry, and finally calmed down.

He put on his clothes and left the bedroom quietly. He didn't want to disturb his wife.

In the study, he lit a cigarette and had breakfast delivered, "So what do you think now?"

Lynch coughed lightly, "The Federation will never compromise!"

He first said a very famous sentence. In fact, this sentence was said by the first president after the founding of the country, and the people he targeted were the Gefra people.

The Gefra people discovered that this group of exiles had actually become rich, so they sent people to come to collect taxes from them. Originally, the federation was too loose to be called a country. Under the pressure of Gefra, Byler was established. federal.

The first president's exact words were "We will not compromise. If they want war, we will give them war."

Lynch has slightly modified the quote here, but his point is made very clearly.

Mr. Trueman also fell into silence. He smoked a cigarette and ate something, and he really woke up.

He knows very well that if the federal government he represents compromises on this matter and compromises with those extremist militants, then he will destroy the federal government!

Because those enemies will find that we don't need to eliminate too many federal people, it is enough to capture their soldiers and force them to agree to our demands!

If he agrees the first time but does not agree later, people will question whether Mr. Trueman will ignore human life when faced with a huge profit decision!

In the eyes of the Confederates, and even in the charter, it is clear that human life is sacrosanct.

Once Mr. Trueman did that, a lot of things got into trouble.

He must show the toughness of the federal government. Even if everyone is sacrificed, he will never compromise with these enemies!

Of course, these words must be expressed artistically and cannot be said so directly, as this will make people think he is too cruel.

There was silence for a minute, then Mr. Trueman sighed, "And what are you going to do?"

Lynch also sat in the restaurant at this time, and the two maids were busy serving him the freshly made breakfast. He smiled and nodded to the two girls to thank them for their considerate service.

Then he said, "I will send someone to rescue them."

Okay, the tone has been set.

We will never compromise, and we will not give up on these people. We have already sent people to rescue them.

If the rescue is successful, then naturally long live the Federation and long live freedom.

If it fails, it can actually stimulate people's strong revenge mentality. In the era of great revenge, sometimes dead people are more meaningful than alive!

Mr. President knew very well how cold the things behind this sentence were. It was impossible for everyone to be rescued, once these people discovered that the federal people were trying to rescue the prisoners.

They would probably kill all the prisoners outright.

But there are some things, as Lynch said, you know that it may not be right personally, but it is also very right for the country as a whole.

People often talk about sacrificing themselves for their country, maybe this is when they embody the true meaning of this!

"I agree. Let's talk about the plans you just mentioned..."

At eight o'clock in the morning, Lynch turned on the TV. The morning news on Black Market TV Station was on. The host and female host had extremely serious expressions. They did not even briefly introduce the news in the morning and went straight to the topic.

"...Next, please listen carefully to the content of the following tape."

As the crackling and increasingly clear sounds came, the ratings of Black Market TV Station began to skyrocket. After the chairman of the board of directors of Bupen City TV learned about this incident, they also allowed their news to be interrupted.

But by this time, it was too late.

A lot of attention has been focused on the black market TV station and this matter.

Even before the recording had finished playing, the phone number at the Presidential Palace was buzzing with calls. Many people wanted to know whether the content of the tape was true.

And, what will the federal government do next?
