Brand Master [Comprehensive Yingmei]

Chapter 64 Preemptive Strike

With Vera's consent, everyone can finally let go of the investigation.

Bruce calmly came up with plan [-], [-], and [-]. Under Nick Fury's dark face, Diana and Cyborg acted at the same time, and all the secrets in S.H.I.E.L.D. were almost unavoidable.

There is a steel skeleton who can easily hack all online accounts and databases, and Diana who holds a lasso of truth... With this level of power and ability, all conspiracies and schemes cannot be hidden.

As Nick Fury said, no matter how S.H.I.E.L.D. mixes in spies or has loopholes, that's S.H.I.E.L.D.'s own business.

As a secret organization established by the government to protect homeland security, Aegis is almost one of the government's trump cards. Even if there is a problem with an organization at this level, it can only be proposed by Walker, voted by Congress, and then Go through the proper process for review.

The Justice League, in principle, is not qualified to investigate and review SHIELD.

This is actually the embodiment of the standard "procedural justice".

"Procedural justice" is actually the legal tradition and foundation of the Anglo-American countries. Any judgment process must be fair and open, even if the evidence is solid, it must go through trial and judgment over and over again.

This kind of "visible justice" exists in all aspects of national government agencies. It is indeed necessary, but it is not appropriate all the time.

For example, now, Diana and the others only searched for one day, and found out more than a dozen Hydra spies from S.H.I.E.L.D. Hydra.

If it wasn't for Chaoying's skillful means, Diana's mantra lasso was too heaven-defying. If the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. were to investigate internally, who could guarantee that Hydra spies would not be mixed into the investigation team?

Nick Fury vowed: "The S.H.I.E.L.D. has a strict hierarchy. Agents above level [-] have undergone layer-by-layer selection and strict background checks. If we form an investigation team with agents above level [-]—"

Diana, with a sneer, threw the seventh-level agent Grant Ward, who was caught in a mantra lasso, in front of him:

"You mean the guy who dared to touch Vera?"

Sorry, this bastard is a Hydra spy.

Fury: "."

He tried to save his respect: "The composition of S.H.I.E.L.D. is not only agents, we also have professional armed assault teams—"

Clark, expressionless, threw the twenty or so S.H.I.E.L.D. armed personnel who had been knocked unconscious by him in front of him:

"Are you talking about this group of guys who have long been instigated by Hydra?"

Sorry, the guy headed by this group of people is named Wishbone in Hydra, and he is a ruthless character.

Fury: "..."

While he was sullen, trying to get Pierce back and deal with these bastards, Bruce also came.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he directly... walked over with the former director Alexander Pierce, who was bruised and swollen and in a panic, and said succinctly:

"Alexander Pierce is a Hydra man."

Fury: "………… Grass. (a plant)"

A man never flicks his tears lightly, Nick Fury... Be, be strong! (gritting teeth

The above are the most important reasons why S.H.I.E.L.D. absolutely cannot go through process review.

... who knows how many people have been infiltrated in S.H.I.E.L.D. and other government agencies.

Of course, the truth is this, and Nick Fury has nothing to say, but the Walker government will definitely not be happy.

In addition to the previous fight in Brooklyn, New York City, although there were no people at the scene at the time, the surveillance video was in the hands of the government. If they were really displeased with the investigation of S.H.I.E.L.D. , that was almost a devastating blow to Zhenglian.

...Because the person fighting Green Lantern is Captain America himself.

"If I were Walker, I would collect the video and evidence at the scene as soon as possible, hold all the information in my hands, and then negotiate with the Justice League."

At the same time when the Superheroes of Zhenglian turned SHIELD upside down, Vera was lying in the ward, the old god was on the ground looking out the window, and said casually.

"Now that my identity has been exposed, Walker and the others will definitely use the fight between the captain and Green Lantern to speak for themselves—not to mention, I was still in Steve's arms at the time."

If he really wants to threaten Chaoying with this, Walker doesn't even need to create basic rumors.

If the video of the scene is released directly, anyone with a discerning eye will know that Captain America is fighting with Green Lantern while protecting the wounded in his arms.

If the other party had been more ruthless, the public would have seen the image of "Captain America struggling to protect the hostage in his arms against the vicious and insane Green Lantern."

Hal: "..."

The vicious and insane person was very wronged, and he kept explaining to Vera through the communicator:

"I was controlled by drugs at the time! And when I fought with the captain, I just wanted to snatch you from his arms from the beginning! Who knew he was the captain!?"

Speaking of this, Hal was almost sad, beating his chest and feet:

It was only after he left the scene after the war that he learned from Bruce that Steve was his childhood idol, Captain America.

After being stupefied, he recalled that the first time he and the other party met was an outrageous fight... This made him have the nerve to ask Captain America for his autograph!

"It has nothing to do with your actions."

Hearing the grievance in Hal's words, Vera said speechlessly, "Any video recording, as long as it is edited, even if it is just reversed, it can mislead the public."

There are other people in the channel, she simply explained:

"Take a very simple case as an example: an ordinary girl was robbed with a knife on the road. In order to resist, she fought desperately with the robber, successfully got the knife in the other party's hand, and threatened the other party to leave."

"If this case was recorded by on-site surveillance, the media only need to cut out the first half, then the news will become 'crazy woman threatening innocent passers-by with a knife in the street', and this girl will be condemned by the public immediately. Understand?"

In the same way, the video of the fight between Hal and the captain, as long as the editor edits it a little, will give people a completely different impression.

Hal's fist in the Captain's face becomes hostage attack, and Cap's relentless counterattack becomes hostage protection.

If the editor had no conscience, and cut out the hideous expression on Hal's face, and added a few pictures of ruins at the scene, then Green Lantern would be labeled as "" by the public" just like the girl in the example. The great villain against the American spirit".

The media is such a kind of existence. They hold the most authentic information in their hands, but they can use various means to process these facts, and then spread these intelligence and information in the most eye-catching and most beneficial way for them.

Hal was speechless.

At this moment, Green Lantern was chasing down the escaped Hydra spy. After punching the opponent away with a powerful punch, he held his breath and said:

"What should I do?"

He really didn't want to be the villain in the Captain America comics.

Not to mention him, even the other people in the communicator opened the door to a new world because of Vera's explanation. They all pricked up their ears, wondering how Vera would solve this problem.

Vera, simply: "It's nothing to do, they can edit it if they want."

Other audition Chaoying: ? ?

Hal: "...Hi!"

"What I'm saying is true."

Vera is very calm, "As long as you have been active under the camera, as long as you have participated in a fight in front of everyone, no matter what the scale of the battle, as long as there is a screen recording, it is the material for editing. This kind of thing is inevitable. "

This is the terrible thing about misleading public opinion.

As long as Chaoying is still fighting, no matter how cautious they are, as long as the other party has this kind of intention, there will be more or less edited videos of this kind of slander.

Before Howl and the rest of the heroes can show their angry faces, she goes on to say,

"But this time, you don't have to worry about it. Don't worry, you don't need to care about the public opinion. It doesn't matter if you break the sky."

"What? You—"

What do you want to do again? !

Before Hal could finish asking, with a "snap", Vera happily cut off the communicator.

Hal & others: "..."

We were really blind to think that Vera Senna is democratic, gentle and easy to talk to! !

In the ward, seeing Vera stop talking, Mary, who had been listening in silently and served as Vera's right and left hand, pressed her forehead resignedly, and said helplessly:

"Let's talk, what do you want to do again? Are you negotiating with the White House, or preparing to clarify for the Chaoying? Don't we also have videos here?"

As an advertising person, Mary understands the media and public opinion far better than Chaoying. It is precisely because of her understanding that she immediately gave several standard plans for crisis public relations.

Leaving aside the negotiation with the White House, Zhenglian will definitely not agree to it. If the media's video clips are released, the best way is actually to suppress what you want.

Skeleton Backup has all the original videos. They can wait for the media to expose the edited version first, borrow the hands of those authorities to stir up the topic, and then choose to release the original video at the golden public relations time of the event.

In this way, Zhenglian successfully gained a wave of sympathy, and by the way, it can damage the credibility of the Democratic Party's media.

The plans Mary proposed were all the most classic crisis public relations methods, and they were perfect before and after. It's just that this time, Vera, who always likes to seize the opportunity to attack her opponent, simply rejected this plan.

"Don't be so troublesome."

Vera tilted her head, motioned Mary to get her computer, and said slowly:

"At this point, there's no way Walker will release those videos so quickly."

"what?"

"Because these videos want to gain the public's trust, the most critical and important point is the identity of the captain himself."

Saying that, Vera hooked the corners of her lips a little coldly, staring at Mary, and said meaningfully:

"Do you really think that Walker alone can make the decision to expose Captain America's identity?"

Those politicians and soldiers know better than anyone what Captain America represents in the hearts of ordinary Americans.

For so many years, they have personally created such a noble spirit as the captain, how could it be possible for Walker to be exposed so easily?

If Walker and the forces above S.H.I.E.L.D. want to attack Zhenglian with this matter, the first thing to bear the brunt is the exposure of the captain’s identity, but this issue cannot be decided by the president alone. It also requires meetings of various departments, proposals, approvals, and votes. Voting... After this formal and complicated process, the day lily is probably cold.

Moreover, there are many interest chains involved in this. Walker really wants to use Captain America now. He has to exchange interests with many people and negotiate with many forces... In short, it is not that easy.

"Procedural justice...sometimes, it's really not that easy to enforce, right?"

As if she had foreseen Walker's desperation, Vera chuckled lightly, and rolled her eyes slyly:

"I think we can help our poor Mr. President."

Mary: "..."

She hehe: "Tell me, how are you going to cheat Walker?"

"Am I the kind of person who holds grudges?"

Vera looked innocent, "I am very satisfied with the current Mr. President, and have no plans to let him step down."

... This time, Vera was telling the truth.

Vera did not embarrass Walker.

While the Walker government and S.H.I.E.L.D. were still struggling, she contacted eight TV stations and several newspaper media of the Republican Party in one go, and released news about the "Brooklyn explosion in New York City" first.

Borrowing the media whose position has always been at odds with the government, coupled with the help of the Republican Party, all of a sudden, the headlines of "Brooklyn Explosion" became overwhelming and became the headlines of the day.

While the Walker government and S.H.I.E.L.D. officials were still working on the revelation of Captain America's identity, the news about the explosion was already known to everyone.

Vera performed the operation herself. In related news reports, she erased the traces of the captain and herself that appeared in the explosion, and described the cause and effect of the explosion as objectively as possible.

It also made a reasonable analysis and restoration of the inexplicable enemies in the explosion, the casualties caused by the explosion, and the loss and destruction of the intersection in Brooklyn, which can be said to be very objective and true.

Immediately afterwards, after describing the facts, all the media unanimously pointed their guns at the New York City government.

"This sudden explosion killed several people in an instant. After the explosion, the scene was isolated, and our reporters were stopped by the police, unable to investigate the situation at the scene with their own eyes."

"But even so, our reporters can still find that the police in New York City are only standing outside the isolation circle, and their task seems to be to drive away reporters and surrounding citizens!"

"We squatted at the scene for a full six hours. During this period, no policeman received an order to go to the scene. They didn't do anything to deal with the explosion site except to tell us to get out of here!"

"Not only that, according to the reporter's observation and interviews with the surrounding citizens, they clearly knew that someone was injured at the explosion site, but they didn't contact the corresponding emergency doctor at all. We didn't even see an ambulance!"

On several newspapers, a huge headline "Government Dereliction of Duty" was printed in large black characters.

In the gold news reports of several TV stations, the hosts condemned the perpetrators of the bombing angrily and demanded that the government be responsible for the bombing.

Numerous speeches are menacing, pointing to the core:

"This is a premeditated murder!"

"New York City Government, you are all executioners like the murderer who made the explosion!"

"You are responsible! You are fully responsible!"

Walker:? ? ?

S.H.I.E.L.D.: ? ? ?

etc!What does this have to do with us?

This is obviously a superhero doing bad things, fighting in the street, and even beating the captain. Does this have anything to do with the New York City government? !

The mayor of New York is also a Democrat and a loyal supporter of Walker.

The moment he saw the news, this person was sitting at home, and the mayor, who had come from the sky, was so wronged that he vomited blood.

——What kind of eternal injustice is this? !

It is true that after discovering that Green Lantern and Captain America were fighting at the scene of the explosion, they blocked the scene with some intention to prevent the onlookers from seeing the truth... But this does not mean that he is irresponsible!

He does have some kind of plan to use and threaten Zhenglian, but he hasn't implemented it yet. Mr. President is still wrangling with other forces about the identity of the US team!

You must know that when faced with some major irreversible social conflicts, whether it is the Democratic Party or the Republican Party, the usual method they like to use is to throw the pot away.

The GDP has dropped, and some multinational companies have been blamed.

Unemployment has risen, blaming other countries.

What kind of debt crisis did they encounter, and they blamed the WTO rules for being unfair to them.

All in all, if you encounter any problems that cannot be solved, it is right to throw the pot away.

But this time, the politicians who have become a habit of dumping the blame are so stupid when they are dumped by the media.

Can they explain why the police were not allowed in at the time?

Can they explain why ambulances and paramedics were not dispatched at the time?

Such an explanation just proves that he knew about this in advance, and that he deliberately let the accident go! ?

Moreover, at this time, if they bring up Chaoying's out-of-control and street fights again, the public will only habitually think that they are throwing the blame.

For the first time in his life, the Democratic faction, which has always been accustomed to throwing the blame on others, really tasted the feeling of being so wronged that he could not speak.

In the base of S.H.I.E.L.D., seven members of the Justice League pulled out Hydra spies one by one, and found out Hydra's ambition to swallow S.H.I.E.L.D. through Diana's mantra lasso.

In the ward, Vera asked Mary to continue to increase the intensity of the report while checking the trend of public opinion.

"When playing moba games, there is a rule that all players default to."

Seeing that public opinion was gradually being guided, the mayor of New York had to hold a press conference to explain. Vera smiled lightly and said quietly.

"That is—whoever puts the question mark first wins."

In the same way, it can be proved that in the field of public opinion, whoever opens the mic to hold accountable - whoever wins.
