Chapter 1566 Everyone depends on their ability

For media industries such as newspapers, good news is what can catch readers' attention. As for whether the news content is a national event or a folk gossip, that is secondary. What kind of news is basically a private newspaper like "Sanya Express"?

Just publish whatever is exciting, and there are some bloody stories on the front page, such as "The mistress poisoned the first wife." If the news content is shocking enough, this issue of the newspaper will sell an extra 1,800 copies. Then the newspaper company will

Income will naturally increase, so editor-in-chief Xu Zhengye did not refuse Xun Pengcheng's request for more coverage.

Although he didn't know what happened at the gate of Victory Fort, seeing the excitement on Xun Pengcheng's face, Xu Zhengye thought that maybe there was something to be done about this matter. Besides, Xun Pengcheng's writing was not bad, so maybe giving him a space to show off would also help.

There was an unexpected surprise.

Xun Pengcheng returned to his seat, prepared paper, pen and ink, sorted out the manuscript he had typed earlier, and then began to write quickly. Regarding the incident he just witnessed, Xun Pengcheng thought that it could be improved in writing.

, and then it is a hot article that can attract readers.

At Victory Fort, which is only one mile away from the newspaper office, Ma Dalan envoy Luo Hong finally achieved the initial purpose of this risky move and was received by several senior officials of the Haihan Executive Committee, including Tao Dong.

Come inside.

"As for the arms sales, the Executive Committee still needs to meet to study. By doing this, you are embarrassing our country!" Tao Donglai sighed: "You have made such a big noise, and the Dutch will hear the news soon.

I will also follow you here."

Luo Hong was very calm and did not panic because of Tao Donglai's complaint: "Dear Sir, please forgive me. I can only think of using this method to show our country's sincerity. I also know that your country has relevant diplomacy with the Dutch.

Agreements must be abided by, but rules are dead and people are alive. Agreements signed in the past may not be suitable for today's situation. If they have become outdated, then it is natural to re-write the rules."

Luo Hong chose this radical approach in order to explain his true thoughts after meeting with senior officials of Haihan. He believed that the fundamental reason why Haihan was unwilling to sell weapons and equipment still lay in the damn agreement. Only by letting Haihan take the initiative

Only by canceling this sales restriction agreement will Ma Dalan be able to achieve its goal of purchasing arms. As for whether Haihan will sell the same type of weapons and equipment to the Dutch after the agreement is cancelled, Luo Hong is not very worried - Ma

The Blue Army has an absolute advantage in terms of military strength and financial resources. If both sides can purchase Haihan's equipment, the Dutch will not take advantage.

"The negotiation and formulation of a diplomatic agreement cannot be accomplished overnight. It takes time. Moreover, we are not in a position to unilaterally tear up the agreement. For our country, Materan and the Dutch East India Company are equally important trading partners, and we are not willing to unilaterally tear up the agreement.

Be prepared to take sides. Especially since there is irresolvable hatred between you, we cannot just watch the war break out." Tao Donglai's compassionate tone almost made Luo Hong believe that this was Haihan's true position.

.

But Luo Hong also understands that the Haihan people are not as peace-loving as they appear on the surface. Their history of external expansion is almost a history of war, and every step of external expansion is accompanied by wars. And I heard that in recent years, the dispute between Annan and Siam

The war was also instigated by Haihan. Like the East India Company, which was also included in the arms embargo by Haihan, and the relationship was really not very harmonious with so-called "partners", how could Haihan worry about the war between the Netherlands and Horses?

The war in the Blue Country reignited.

Before coming to Sanya, his uncle La Deng had specifically warned him not to believe too much in the so-called goodwill released by the Haihan people: "The Haihan people are not as kind as they seem. Don't forget that in today's South China Sea, all the people who interact with the Haihan people

All the countries they fought failed without exception. So their best skill is not doing business, but fighting! They are not even afraid of participating in the war themselves, so how can they mind the outbreak of war between other countries? "

Therefore, Luo Hong would not easily believe Tao Donglai's statement: "Honorable Sir, since you can negotiate conditions with the Dutch to ban the sale of weapons and equipment to our country, is that as long as our country can offer more generous benefits than the Dutch?"

If the conditions are met, you can consider terminating the agreement you signed with them?"

The agreement signed between Haihan and the Netherlands is not as simple as Luo Hong thought. It is not an independent agreement, but a part of a series of cooperation agreements signed between Haihan and the Dutch East India Company. This package

The agreement covered diplomacy, trade, politics and other aspects. Haihan made certain compromises to the East India Company in terms of arms sales, in exchange for the East India Company's commitment to the scope of activities in the Far East. Otherwise, the East India Company would

It will not continue to shrink in the South China Sea and continue to develop colonies in the north.

The value of this geopolitical exchange condition cannot simply be calculated in terms of money. Both Haihan and the Netherlands are countries that advocate maritime colonization. The essence of this specific exchange condition is that the two maritime powers are dividing the cake, and

It is difficult for a third country to play a substitute role in this situation. From the perspective of South Asia, Matalan is indeed a regional power, but its influence on a larger scale is far less than that of the Netherlands. Therefore, Haihan initially

When this agreement was negotiated with the East India Company, there was no thought of involving the Maltalan country.

Therefore, after Luo Hong proposed this condition, Tao Donglai and others looked at each other and smiled. Of course, they could not explain such a complicated international political transaction to Luo Hong, nor could they inform him of the transaction between Haihan and the Dutch East India Company.

All the contents. A few days ago, Yan Chujie showed Luo Hong the contents of the arms-related agreement, which was the limit of what he could do. But looking at the stubborn temper of this general, it is obvious that if he cannot get a satisfactory

The answer is that it is difficult to let this matter go.

"Of course the conditions can be negotiated, but with all due respect, the agreement signed between our country and the Netherlands is very complicated. Lifting the arms embargo will have a lot of implications. Frankly speaking, this cannot be solved by the two trucks of gold bricks shipped from your country.

"It's a problem." Tao Donglai said frankly to Luo Hong: "It's not a problem of money, do you understand?"

At the same time, Dutch Minister Su Keyi rushed to Fort Victory as quickly as possible after receiving the news. What he was most worried about now was not that Haihan lifted the arms sales ban, but that he failed to take the initiative when the opportunity came.

.If we cannot get ahead of the Matalan Kingdom, Batavia's future security issues will be in jeopardy again.

When the envoys from the two countries were negotiating with the senior officials of Haihan in Victory Fort, the last article of this issue of "Sanya Express" was finally finalized. Editor-in-chief Xu Zhengye was quite satisfied with Xun Pengcheng's article, so he replaced it.

He placed his article on the original front page of the newspaper.

"Hurry up and typeset. Let the printing house print 500 more copies of this issue!" After Xu Zhengye gave the order, the people in the newspaper office immediately became busy.

Printing 500 more newspapers is not a matter of just one sentence. Someone must be sent to the printing factory immediately to say hello so that they can prepare materials in advance. The typesetters here have already arranged most of the layouts.

Spend an hour arranging the last fresh front-page article and send it off for printing.

"Editor-in-Chief, you have to give me the extra printing fee. Forget it if you forgot about the short article on Tofu Chuan last time. This time it's the front page!" Xun Pengcheng, who was waiting nearby, quickly added.

"Do the math, haven't I already recorded this for you?" Xu Zhengye pointed to the notepad in front of him. The latest item on it was indeed a record of Xun Pengcheng's front-page article on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, plus

Print five hundred copies. With this typesetting, Xun Pengcheng will be able to earn about thirty yuan more when he settles his remuneration next time.

"Okay, I'll get off work if I have nothing to do today!" Seeing that this issue of the newspaper was going to be printed soon, Xun Pengcheng thought he had nothing to do, so he planned to leave early.

Xu Zhengye was also open-minded, waving his hands and saying: "Go ahead, go ahead, remember to add two dishes for yourself tonight!"

At dinner time that day, the latest issue of "Sanya Express" appeared in the hands of newsboys on the street, and the front-page news they shouted quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding people.

"Take a look and see why a certain country in Southeast Asia publicly sent two trucks of gold bricks today. Our reporter will reveal the secret!"

"Two cartloads of gold bricks fell from the sky. Who will get it in the end? Please buy a newspaper and read it!"

"There are new ways to show off your wealth, gold bricks are coming to block the road! Are you ready to pick up money?"

The newsboys used their own tricks to attract customers by shouting, and the incident that happened outside Victory Castle this morning quickly spread through newspapers. Some teahouses with storytellers even went to buy newspapers and arranged storytellers.

Let’s talk about the new news first.

Victory Fort received the news not much later than the outside world. Tao Donglai and others had just sent Luo Hong and Su Keyi away after all their efforts, when someone sent this newspaper that published the incident.

"These paparazzi have a very keen sense of smell!" Tao Donglai quickly glanced at the article on the front page and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Look, this article says that the Madalan people came to Sanya with a large amount of gold, just to pay tribute to them.

Our country is looking for weapons, and the arms trade is really no secret now.”

The attitude shown in this newspaper article is obviously in support of arms exports. It believes that since there is extremely strong market demand at the moment and people are coming to the door with gold bricks, Haihan should seize this opportunity and take advantage of it.

The arms trade earns revenue to replenish the national treasury. But why this request was not approved by Haihan? The author of the article speculates that there is a problem with the coordination of interests between various official departments. Some people do not want this arms deal to be negotiated.

That's why the Ma Daran envoy was forced to transport the gold bricks to the gate of Victory Fort to show his sincerity in purchasing arms and equipment.

"How did this reporter find out the news? Could it be that Luo Hong spread the word before he came today and deliberately wanted to unite us?" Yan Chujie was quite unhappy after reading the newspaper, although the report in the newspaper was not

He did not have enough power to influence the decision of the executive committee, but it was unpleasant to have such a national political matter exposed by a gossip newspaper. Yan Chujie first thought of the possibility that Luo Hong took the initiative to hype it up.

"This should be impossible." Ning Qi retorted: "I think Luo Hong is straightforward in everything he says and does, so he may not have such an eye. Moreover, he has only been in Sanya for a few days, and he can talk to the local newspaper so quickly

To get on the line, unless he had already planned this step before he came. But you have all met him, do you think he is like a person with such deep knowledge in the city? "

"He may not be able to come up with such an idea, but the same cannot be said for the people under him. In a mission like this, there will always be a few bad-minded think tanks." Yan Chujie still insists that this matter may have something to do with it.

Luo Hong related: "Besides, this kind of tabloid is always greedy for money. If the Ma Dalan people throw some money over, they will write an article to promote them. Isn't this a very reasonable situation?"

Schneider, who was sitting next to him, said to end the argument: "Isn't it simple that the people from Madalan are behind the scenes? Call He Xi immediately and ask him to verify the newspaper and the reporter who wrote the article.

Finished?"

It is indeed unwise to waste time guessing the truth at this time. Let the Ministry of Security dispatch personnel to investigate the matter, and the results will be available in one or two hours at most. At that time, Tao Donglai called He Xi and explained to him

situation and asked him to investigate immediately.

He Xi did not expect that after investigating the leak case related to the Dutch a few days ago, there would be another case related to the Dutch to be investigated so soon, and it was Tao Donglai who personally called to arrange the work. He Xi did not dare to neglect

, Dang Ji called Xu Shiqi over and asked him to go to the "Sanya Express" newspaper office immediately to investigate what was going on in today's front-page article.

Xu Shiqi had never read the newspaper that He Xi mentioned. After accepting the mission, he went to the street to buy a newspaper and read it. Only then did he realize that there was such a drama outside Victory Fort today. As for the newspaper

Whether the article in the article is that the newspaper took advantage of Ma Dalan Ren to build publicity for them, or whether the reporter really has a keen sense of smell, we can only know if we check it first.

Of course, Xu Qiqi would not rashly take radical measures such as closing down newspapers. That would not be beneficial to the subsequent direction of public opinion, and his superiors did not explain his likes and dislikes of such remarks in newspapers. So Xu Qiqi chose

He used a very responsible investigation method and went to the newspaper office to find the editor-in-chief Xu Zhengye, then revealed his identity and asked the other party to cooperate with the investigation.

Although they were both from the same family with the surname Xu, after Xu Zhengye saw the other party's identity document, he had no idea of ​​getting married, but felt a chill on his back.
