Chapter 1865 The power and mission entrusted by history
When the video of Film being hanged spread, the whole of North America was full of condemnation, abuse, and curses. In places like Mexico that have been run by the Aurora Legion for a long time were relatively calm, but it caused waves in Texas and California...
Countless white people feel that a certain value they have always adhered to has been provoked, trampled and destroyed by the Legion. Even millions of white military and police who have been granted signs of instability. If the economy and life were not completely dependent on the Legion, they would be afraid that they would rise up immediately.
What's even more terrifying is that there are also a large number of white people who believe in freedom of speech within the Legion, which are the backbone of the Legion's rule and production. These people are also wondering whether their government is too much. Hanging a reporter under the banner of peace on the spot is too cruel.
Miss Fox, who was in charge of state affairs, was immediately furious when she learned about this and rushed to Zhou Qingfeng's office to scold him if he felt that the legion was invincible and could trample on the value of the entire North America.
"Victor, do you know that hanging that bastard, but how do we explain this next? We are tired enough to whitewash your cruel image. You actually do this in public? Do you want to kill all of us?"
Lina Fox's wording was unprecedentedly stern. Even Xiao Yi, who had always spoken for Zhou Qingfeng, felt that things were too difficult and had no idea what to do.
"Why don't you find a scapegoat? This matter cannot be concealed at all, so the processing speed must be fast, it must be fast! Otherwise, a wave of opposition will immediately surge."
Xiao Yi didn't say who to be a scapegoat, but in fact it was Marcos who hanged Feilin. She meant to push the mutant leader out of the way to take the blame, abandon the car to protect the coach, and cut off the hero's arm. When it's time to be cruel, you must be cruel.
Katerina and the butcher didn't talk, but they just complained that Zhou Qingfeng was too willful. The senior executives of other legions seemed even more anxious. When Fei Lin came, many people suggested driving him away. No one expected that Zhou Qingfeng would publicly hang the guy who was seeking fame.
But facing the unanimous request of the senior leaders of the legion, Zhou Qingfeng resisted the pressure and refused to hand over Marcos. "I issued the order to hang that guy, and I will naturally solve the current chaos. The so-called 'breaking and then establishing, and defeating and then succeeding' must be broken by me personally."
"What are you going to do?" Lina and others asked in unison.
However, Zhou Qingfeng asked the Legion Propaganda Department to temporarily arrange his office into a studio.
Videos and news about Felin being hanged were widely spreading in North America. All media were sensational, and newspapers and TV stations condemned the Aurora Legion and Victor Hugo in an angry tone. At this time, let alone step forward to explain for the Legion, everyone began to separate themselves from each other.
"This idiot, this idiot, Victor Hugo is also an idiot like Osborne. He actually hanged Ferlin. I thought he could have such a brilliant political skill. It turns out that he is also an impulsive and reckless guy."
At the New York Brotherhood Department of Commerce, Herbert, as secretary, was laughing in his office, "I thought the worst situation for Ferring was to be sent to prison, but who knew he was actually hung.
Hahaha… Now Victor Hugo’s reputation has become bad, completely stinking. I don’t have to worry about the so-called ‘marriage’. The Aurora Legion may even throw away the few states in the southwestern United States that they just got. The problem that could have been solved flexibly is messed up, and the Legion is going to suffer a lot now.”
It was the person who sponsored the Felin interview plan behind his back that he racked his brains to come up with such an idea, but he was not sure whether the plan would work. However, now that Felin was hanged, his imagination was even realized at a higher level.
"The Aurora Legion will be boycotted by the entire North America. I will even have stronger bargaining power in the future. The entire North American steel market will be mine." Herbert danced excitedly, dancing and laughing in the office, and couldn't stop.
And just then, Herbert's secretary knocked in and informed, "Minister, Aurora News Station is previewing Victor Hugo's speech to all the people in North America."
"Speak at this time?" Herbert's mind changed, "He is going to apologize to everyone. Apology is useless. Hurry up and find a scapegoat to calm some public anger.
But now our media has some say, and we are fully capable of making any whitewashing remarks useless. Victor Hugo, do you have this time of embarrassment today?”
Herbert said, "Apology is useless," but he still excitedly switched satellite TV to Aurora News Station. He wanted to see what kind of pitiful Victor Hugo would confess to the world.
The TV screen soon showed Zhou Qingfeng, who was dressed in a solemn manner. Herbert set up a large virtual screen in his office and called all the trusted assistant secretary around him to see how the Legion Commander would eliminate the bad impact of this incident.
"The people of the Legion, the people of North America, I am Victor Hugo, the commander of the Aurora Legion. Yesterday, I personally ordered the hang of a so-called democratic person named Ferin.
Many people scold me for being so cruel? No, I am not cruel at all. The reason I do this is because of the power and mission given to me by history."
Hahaha..., this guy is so sarcastic!
When Herbert heard this opening remark, he was so happy that he slapped the table. He pointed to Zhou Qingfeng's avatar on the virtual screen and shouted: "This guy hanged an innocent reporter. What are the powers and missions given by history? Who believes it!"
There was a lot of laughter in Herbert's office, and everyone thought this explanation was too far-fetched and pure nonsense.
Zhou Qingfeng continued to talk...
"The legitimacy of a regime has two sources, the first is elections for all. Everyone votes to decide their own rulers.
But now it is the end of the world, and we live in the wasteland. The chaotic world has lost its order, and all kinds of rulers are no longer elected, and powerful people naturally become leaders.
So is a powerful leader legal? Then the second source of legitimacy of a regime is..., which depends on the power of the ruler.
If a ruler can allow ordinary people to eat, wear tops, gain a sense of security, get back on the right track of life, end the end of the world, allow peace to come, and solve the biggest and most acute problems in the wasteland, then he is legal. The legality of the Aurora Legion comes from this."
Alas...
As soon as this passage came out, Herbert's face changed drastically, and the group of confidants around him who were watching the fun stopped laughing. Everyone showed serious expressions... It seemed something was wrong, why did Victor Hugo suddenly mention the legitimacy of the regime?
Herbert is not the only one who stares at the TV and watches Zhou Qingfeng talk.
David Lawrence was staring at…
Anji was staring at...
Rachel was staring at….
Adams's crown was staring at...
Dr. Osborn and President Biden are staring at...
President Franklin of the Masonic Church was also staring at...
Thousands of people in North America are staring at...
In Zhou Qingfeng's office, Lina Fox was furious, Katerina was furious, and Xiao Yi was bitten by silver teeth. But she was waiting for Zhou Qingfeng to speak a few words...
Miss Fox's angry expression suddenly showed a little deep thought.
The fierce girl frowned and whistled again and stretched out.
Xiao Yi covered his forehead with one hand and whispered with relief: "I almost forgot that he is an actor, I'm going to open my mouth!"
Come on, let’s talk about the power and mission given by history!
