Chapter 183 Black October [Middle-Middle-Bottom]

"Is there anything important enough to interrupt my meeting?"

The president of the Baylor Federation stood in the lounge a little unhappily. His chief of staff just interrupted his conversation with several international affairs research experts, which made him feel that he was an impolite person. His tone at this time was naturally Not pleasant.

The chief of staff sighed with a wry smile, "Mr. President, the bond issue has been exposed, what should we do next?"

Originally, the President of Baylor Federation still had some impatience on his face, but when he heard the news, he immediately became nervous.

During the period before the end of the World War, war bonds had always been a political trick he considered very proud of. By purchasing bonds of warring states, an alternative method of paying protection fees, the flames of war did not extend to the Baylor Federation.

And after the war, these bonds can also realize a lot of wealth. He believes that this is definitely the most shining policy in his political career. When he promoted this idea, he used "We don't participate in wars, but enjoy victory China's achievements" as a slogan, won the hearts of the people. .

He has been trying to solve this problem for some time recently. In fact, he is under a lot of pressure, because the banks and some financial institutions that can represent the position of the country to a certain extent are basically qualified to buy these bonds in large quantities.

but

These groups are usually silent, but they manipulate the fate of many people and are closely related to people's lives.

His original intention was to find a way to win over some neutral countries to form a rights protection alliance, and then solve the problem of some bonds, soothe his anxious emotions, and then sort out the rest of the matter slowly.

He and his staff believe that the difficulties are only temporary, unless the victorious countries want to force them into the camp of the defeated countries.

Unexpectedly, it exploded at this time. When he felt nervous, he was a little annoyed, "Which idiot did it?"

Only then did the chief of staff tell the whole story. In fact, Mr. President and his cabinet, including his staff, never thought that those banks and financial institutions would transfer risks so shamelessly.

When they knew that those bonds were actually not much different from blank paper, they distributed these bonds to financial companies, and through some operations, they heated up these foreign bonds, making ordinary people the main victims.

"This damned, greedy wild dog!" Mr. President cursed a few words, and then he looked at his chief of staff solemnly, "You guys discuss some countermeasures as soon as possible, and restrain the media and make them shut up , I don’t want to stand at a press conference and be like an idiot when I don’t know how to solve these problems, understand?”

The president spends millions of dollars and uncountable hidden benefits every year to maintain these staff groups. Now is the time to reflect their value. The chief of staff nodded solemnly, "I know how to do it, up to 24 hours, we You can take action!"

Only then did Mr. President's expression ease a little, he straightened his collar and tie, turned and walked towards the meeting room, "I hope that the next time we meet, you will give me good news as you said !"

Subsequently, the phone call from the private office of the president notified almost all mainstream and non-mainstream media, even those charitable magazines and advertisements were notified, and now they are in a race against time.

Even if the sudden outbreak of the situation cannot be prevented, an effective solution must be discussed before the big bang arrives.

But with some things, it is impossible to go as one wishes after all.

Mainstream media such as "Transactions", "Federal Times", "Bayler Daily", and "International News Retrieval" did obey the request and arrangement of the phone call from the President's private office, and stopped publishing and printing this news, but There are also some tabloids that don't do that.

"Happy Every Week" is such a newspaper. Its name is actually related to the content it publishes. Their purpose is to provide aid for those philanthropists who are rich and willing to aid some girls.

There are always some people who need help, and some people are willing to help others. There are platforms like this in every state of the Federation, and everyone is used to it.

After all, recruiting is illegal in many states, but aid is legal. Newspapers will of course also get some intermediary fees, which is one of their main sources of income.

These kind of philanthropic newspapers have always had nothing to do with morality, ethics, or current affairs, because they also know very well that no one will read these news even if they publish them.

Readers will instead call and yell at their operators for half an hour, then tell the newspaper that they will never order their paper again, let alone give their phone, if they don't see Nako on the first page of the paper next week. Service dial.

So no matter what happens in the outside world, this kind of newspapers are indifferent, but today, it is different.

"The vast majority of clients in our group are actually beneficiaries of financial transactions!"

In the office of the president of the newspaper, the editor-in-chief, the head of the school, and the editor-in-chiefs all gathered here. Although the newspaper office is small and the content is special, it has everything it should have.

The president sat on his chair with a pipe in his mouth, and took two puffs, "If there is a financial crisis, our customers will have little money, and we will also become poor because of our customers." and become poor."

"No one ordered the newspaper, no one called the hotline, no one paid us an agency fee, so we're going to publish this news, remind our customers, let them try to recover their losses!"

At this moment, the editor-in-chief couldn't help but interjected, "But the President's Office asked us not to report this news."

The president nodded, "That's true, but so what?"

He looked at the people in the office and said indifferently, "Those big newspapers are either financial groups or politicians behind them. They have to listen to their dog owners, and their dog owners will give them a meaty bone. Behind us are only those client."

"Without customers, what do we eat and drink, what do those girls eat and drink?"

"When we are about to go bankrupt, do you think Mr. President and those consortiums will save us?"

The president shook his head, "No, the only ones who can fill our stomachs are our customers, listen to me and start the machine immediately." He paused and said what people wanted to hear, "Even if there is a real liquidation, I will take care of this matter alone!"

Soon enough, supplements to Happy Weekly started coming out, usually only when something big happened, like some new girl in need of relief, or some adult production company getting ready to release some big-budget franchise.

This also made many subscribers curious. Soon, the additional newspapers were sold out in just one night, and sellers from all over the country called to ask for additional subscriptions.

And this move also caused more newspapers and media to start reporting the news. Anyway, they were just following suit, and the unlucky one was only the first one.

In just one night, everyone in the entire Federation knew about it.

Banks refuse to honor the overseas bonds they want, and overseas issuing countries also refuse to honor the bonds in people's hands. The bonds that people bought for tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands are now like waste paper!
What's even more frightening is that there are many people like Frank, who just applied for their personal credit loans and put this part of the money into bond transactions.

The situation was out of control all of a sudden. As the core of the storm, Frank and his agent may not have realized that what they opened was not a scar, but a direct piercing of the main artery.

The next morning, at about nine o'clock, there was a lot of movement outside a single-family mansion, and even a siren sounded.

Frank, who had slept all night in the comfortable sofa, woke up suddenly. The sofa was so comfortable, more comfortable than his bed, and that was the money's worth.

He walked to the window with his mind still a little sluggish, and looked outside, all the drowsiness flew out of his body in shock.

A large number of policemen gathered outside the house, and there were also armed policemen and some people who obviously belonged to the army. He cursed and retracted his head behind the window.

Damn the manager, he must have called the police. In fact, when the manager didn't come back last night, Frank already had this feeling, but he was still waiting, waiting for a hope, or the manager called the police is one of his plans .

If the broker really can't honor those bonds, it's going to be a crime scene, and he's seen a lot of TV and movies with similar content.

When criminals take hostages, they can make some demands, such as asking reporters and media to gather here, so that he can say why he did it.

At that time, the entire Federation will inevitably be a sensation because of this, and people will stand by him out of sympathy. Even if he has to go to jail in the future, at least his money will be kept.

This idea has to be said to be very constructive. At least it is basically impossible for an ordinary person to gather a large amount of media, but it is easy for a criminal to do so.

It's just that some things, especially reality, don't necessarily follow the script of the movie.

While Frank was waiting in the bedroom for the negotiator to speak, a special operations team had already started breaking down the door. From the very beginning, the purpose of these people was very simple - to kill Frank and make him shut up.

The matter has been punctured and irreparable, and Frank's life and death have become indifferent. On the contrary, some people always want to let out a sigh of relief. A dead Frank can obviously meet the needs of some people.

From the beginning of the action to the sound of gunfire, it probably lasted less than 5 minutes.

In the end, the captain of the action team reported the situation to the on-site commander with a cold face. He described a terrible thing in a regretful tone.

Frank resisted stubbornly and held lethal weapons in an attempt to injure the hostages. In order to protect the safety of the hostages, they had to kill the kidnapper Frank on the spot.

The on-site commander raised his eyebrows, "That's really a pity!"
