Chapter 1,238 The Label of the Minority

The discovery of Star Ring Trade on Mars and a series of recent actions have touched the sensitive nerves of all countries around the world. Ｗ㈠

International capital, think tanks, scientific research institutions, and other official or unofficial organizations, like sharks smelling blood, focused their attention on Xinguo and Starring Trading, tracking first-hand information about the incident.

In fact, the "devil bug incident" attracted more attention than the general election of the new country!

It is now generally accepted by the international community that the specimens rushing to Halo City are likely to provide evidence for mankind to uncover a series of unsolved mysteries such as the ecological environment and landform features of Mars more than three billion years ago.

After all, everything about Mars before could only be guessed based on data from Curiosity and the Hubble Telescope.

Since there was life on Mars more than three billion years ago, whether there were traces of civilization on Mars during these more than three billion years... This is also the most discussed topic among people. Everyone is looking forward to finding the answer to the question from that specimen.

It is no exaggeration to say that devil bugs have opened the door to a new world for mankind.

Living up to the expectations of the international community, Starlink Trading is making intensive preparations for the upcoming summit.

However, at this moment, the bad news from the Mars colony cast a shadow over the upcoming summit...

…

"Black people, new immigrants, ethnic minorities, the father of ten children..." Zhang Yaping threw a newspaper on the coffee table and sat on the sofa, pinching his eyebrows and saying with a headache, "How can these beasts make such a fuss? !”

On the newspaper on the coffee table, James' black-and-white photo was printed on the front page, with an eye-catching title next to it.

To be honest, if it weren't for these labels on him, the media would not have reacted so strongly. At most, they would have criticized the safety of Star Ring Trading's Mars colonization plan, and then condemned Star Ring Trading for not going through careful procedures when rescuing employees. plan……

Don’t have a thorough plan? In fact, there is.

However, no plan can keep up with changes.

Those media reporters are not soldiers, and they don't care how dangerous the situation is at that time. At most, a month later, I would take a few photos of the devil bug specimen, take it back and comment on the aggressiveness of the Martian creatures, and try to use CG images to restore the scene at that time.

No matter how you say it,

The whole incident was labeled with these four labels, and the situation suddenly became troublesome.

Fueled by some media with ulterior motives, the entire incident was suddenly exaggerated from a simple "rescue failure" to Starring Trading's differential treatment of the majority of "Chinese" people and the minority of "black people", and even added fuel to the fire on the rescued people. A fuss has been made about the relationship with the deceased.

The number of black people in the new country is very small, but I don’t know why. Once there is a problem with this group, those philanthropic white leftists will also jump out and make noise. The white left here is not limited to white people. Many people of other skin colors also took to the streets and paraded holding portraits of the deceased.

For a time, James was portrayed as a victim of racial discrimination and differential treatment. This basin of dirty water was poured on the Star Circle trade and the Mars colony. Even Zhang Yaping, who was preparing for the election, was shot while lying down. .

Sitting on the sofa opposite the coffee table, Jiang Chen smiled helplessly at Zhang Yaping.

"There are always energetic guys, and there's nothing you or I can do about that."

"Can you find a way to keep it private? If James' wife doesn't sue you, those protesters will have nothing to say." Zhang Yaping frowned.

"It's useless," Jiang Chen shook his head, "This matter is not as simple as it seems."

It's not like the top executives of Starring Trading never thought of simply dealing with it coldly, quietly settling the families of the victims, and keeping the entire matter private where the media didn't know about it. However, what was unexpected was that as soon as the news of the rescue results leaked, the Canadian government took care of the families of the victims.

Immediately afterwards, a black power organization stood up and persuaded James's wife to pursue legal channels "fairly" to seek justice, and then took the initiative to fund and arrange a strong team of lawyers for her to sue Future in Ottawa. Human mining and star trade.

There is no doubt that there must be Americans behind this. After all, Canada is the back garden of the United States. The Canadian government’s response was so quick that it is hard not to associate it with the phone call from the White House. The black human rights organization that immediately found James' wife was also from North America.

As for concealing the news of the failed rescue...

It is not technically impossible, but it is too difficult to operate in practice, and once exposed, it will cause a more serious impact on public opinion. Almost every colonist has the habit of updating Twitter and Facebook, and everyone has the opportunity to talk to their family on the phone five times a month.

You can't isolate the entire Mars from the sight of human society just because one person died, right?

"You mean, it's the Americans who are causing trouble?" Zhang Yaping frowned.

"Ninety-nine percent of the possibility, but there is no point in discussing who is behind the tricks. After all, their cards have been played," Jiang Chen said in a relaxed tone, "If they think they can do it with this little trick, It would be so cute if it got in our way.”

"What are you going to do about it?"

"Let's start with your problem first," Jiang Chen crossed his fingers on his knees and looked at Zhang Yaping, "What we have to do now is to wait quietly for those who are having the most fun to jump out, and then we can take them out. Catch them all in one fell swoop.”

The United States has been trying to interfere in the general election of New Zealand, but because there are ghost agents watching, it is inconvenient for people from the FBI and CIA to take action directly.

From a long time ago, they have been in contact with international human rights organizations, providing funds to some members of the Koro City Council, and even directly funding some candidates who advocate limiting the expansion of Star Circle trade and emphasizing national power to participate in the general election and compete for parliamentary seats. .

It's time to purge these traitors.

"Do you need me to do anything?" Zhang Yaping said simply.

"Just do nothing," Jiang Chen said with a smile. "Withstand the pressure of public opinion, make no response to the accusations from the outside world, and don't even ask about this matter at all. Prepare step by step for the summit at the end of this month, as well as in March." of that election.”

"If you already have a good plan." Zhang Yaping nodded with difficulty, "Then do as you say."

Ignoring external accusations seems easy to say, but it is not so easy to do. Now is the final sprint stage of the election campaign. Although his support rate has far surpassed his opponents, no one can be sure that he will win until the last moment.

James was a small person, and usually no one would pay attention to it, but now his death has become a political event. If this matter is not handled properly, it will undoubtedly become an indelible stain on his political career.

In addition, if the incident is allowed to continue to ferment, it will inevitably create some "suspense" for the general election two months later...

This is also what Zhang Yaping is most worried about.

But soon, Jiang Chen's next few words dispelled his worries.

"Don't worry, I know what you are worried about, but some things will never happen." Standing up, Jiang Chen walked next to Zhang Yaping, who also stood up. A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he lowered his voice and said to him Next to him, he said, "News will soon be revealed that a certain candidate was suspected of accepting foreign funds and was then taken away by the prosecutor's office for investigation..."

Then, those fools who have thoughts that they shouldn't have will have a new and profound understanding of whose new country the new country is.

After he stopped talking, Jiang Chen patted Zhang Yaping on the shoulder with a smile, leaving Mr. President with a look of shock or joy, and turned around and walked out of the President's Office.
