Codex Pirates

Chapter 375: Connections

Laura Louise got off the bed, came to William, took the less than half of the cigarette from William's hand to her own, went to the window and took a light breath, and seemed to have calmed down.

But the next moment, a severe cough broke Louise's calmness on the surface. She turned her head and saw a half-smile expression on William's face: "You must regret your decision to run to the East China Sea."

"No, I don't regret it," Louise said with a complicated face but a firm tone, "Many reporters can't even report a report that affects the situation of a kingdom in their entire lives, but I have already written a report that affects the situation in the world. It's news, I don't want to do nothing and do other people's news all day long, but my own life is inconspicuous."

Louise then laughed at herself again: "You still worry about yourself, you just became Shichibukai, you just covered me, aren't you afraid of offending the world government?"

"Your small crime is nothing to mention among the cadre crimes pardoned by Shichibukai in the past," William said disapprovingly, "As long as you don't talk too much in the newspapers in the future, the world government will not embarrass me because of you."

"Don't talk too much in the newspaper? Didn't you fancy my experience and want me to work in your newspaper office?" Louise asked a little strangely.

As early as in Donghai, William expressed his appreciation for her ability and courage, and offered to win her over.

It's just that Louise was still under the banner of World Economic News at that time, so she had little interest in soliciting William.

"I do need you to help me, but it's not to work in the newspaper," William asked, "or do you think you can build a new newspaper by yourself?"

Of course Louise can't. Although she is smart and courageous, she also has self-knowledge. It is not easy to start a newspaper from scratch.

However, the newspaper office of the Great Airway must be established. How can there be no newspapers on the train? William will never give up his control of the mouthpiece media. He would rather lose money than ensure that his newspaper is delivered to various cities and islands along the route of the sea train, and spread in the first half of the great voyage.

It's a pity that the newspapers that William originally controlled were not suitable for entering the great route. On the one hand, their own development depends on being based on the East China Sea. This can be seen from the name, such as "Donghai News", "Donghai Daily" and so on. , this kind of name is not only good for getting close to the locals in Donghai and shortening the distance with local readers, but it also makes overseas people less interested just by looking at the name.

In addition to the foothold and development inertia of the newspaper itself, practitioners in the East China Sea are not familiar with the environment and atmosphere of the great sea route, let alone have any acquaintances.

In the media industry, there is no news, no matter how tricky you are, it will be of no use if you manage well.

And without connections, there would be no source of news and intelligence that could be used as news. A group of people from outside the sea who were blind to the situation of the great sea route, even if William, who has become the king of the Seven Martial Seas today, provided protection and brought a large sum of money, they would not be able to It means that the newspaper can be run well.

In order to open up the situation, William can no longer be as unscrupulous as he was in the East China Sea.

For the World Government and the Navy Headquarters, the East China Sea can be regarded as high in the sky and the emperor is far away. The windless belt and the hindrance of the Red Earth Continent made it difficult for people from the Headquarters and the World Government to pay too much attention to the East China Sea. The news of the East China Sea spread to the great While en route, the information may also be delayed and distorted.

William used all kinds of illegal and violent means to acquire, suppress other competitors, and spread sales for his own newspapers. This series of behaviors is not suitable for Great Airline, at least not as arrogant as Donghai .

After all, the headquarters of the navy is located in the first half of the great route, and the center of gravity of the navy is also here. Unlike trivial matters such as saving Louise, the importance of newspapers is self-evident. Serialized comics to promote their own image, even if they are photographed under the title of William Shichibukai, they may not do anything blatantly, but it is enough to cause headaches when they come out to add trouble and show their own existence from time to time.

In addition, large-scale newspapers on the Great Route, such as the World Economic News, are not those small characters in the East China Sea who have been suppressed by William and have no place to seek grievances. They have some connections with both black and white, so they can often obtain first-hand information and intelligence.

Why did William save Louise? In addition to admiring her courage and action, it is because she once worked for the World Economic News, and because she was the first reporter to report her own news in detail, she was reused for a period of time.

The matter of William offering a reward of one billion Baileys is the same as that of his Shichibukai. Although the Navy has set the amount, it has not had time to announce it to the public. Logically speaking, only the officers and soldiers within the Navy know.

But with the navy's leaky secrecy measures, and the matter itself is not considered confidential information, many forces with connections and connections have got the news. Not often.

The forces that got the news naturally included such a big newspaper as the World Economic News. Louise was able to tell William his latest bounty immediately after seeing William. Obviously, the people in the newspaper did not hide it from her.

That's why William said that after Louise reported her own news for the first time, she was reused by the newspaper.

And William said that Louise was in the cold palace. After William revealed his identity as Shichibukai, Louise did not show much doubt about this kind of remarks, which is also related to this point.

Louise has personally been to the East China Sea and interviewed someone who has interviewed William. With a successful precedent, the credit for digging up big news for the newspaper, and experience surpassing her colleagues, most of the reports about William will be in charge of Louise. Just like the fact that William was offered a reward of one billion was revealed to her by the newspaper.

In fact, the ambitious Louise has already drawn up several drafts of reports during this period, and analyzed whether William's own strength and the things he committed during this period are worthy of Billion Bailey Wait for the problem, just wait for the superior to provide a suitable time, and then revise it, it will be published.

It can be said that William's becoming the king's Shichibukai is even more sensational news than him becoming a pirate with a bounty of one billion.

Because Wu Laoxing wanted to communicate with various government departments, this matter was not announced, but it has been known to many people. With the size of the World Economic News, it is necessary to extract relevant information from the leaky government secrecy system like the Navy. It was so easy, but from the beginning to the end, no one told Louise about it.

Now that Louise knew William's identity, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that this matter was really weird.

The reason why William valued Louise's help in setting up the Great Airway newspaper was that he knew or was familiar with many journalists from the World Economic News and even the Great Airline, which made it easier for William to poach corners.
