958: C958 Confusion Start

C958 Confusion Start

It made no difference to them who would be elected president. Only their own interests mattered.

"Moreover, with such poor sales, even if the Liberty Times were to publish this information, it would not cause much reaction and might not be seen by anyone at all. Since it has no effect, why should we give up such a large sum of money? " Donald comforted himself, then dialed the printing press.

What Donald did not know was that almost at the same time, dozens of small European newspapers all received similar mail.

Although the price offered was different, the content was exactly the same.

Early in the morning on the second day, after Old John's morning training, he went to his usual reporting booth.

"Old buddy, what's the interesting news today?" Old John asked.

The owner of the kiosk was also an old man in a suit. His name was Bob and he had been guarding the small kiosk all his life.

If this was in the Central Plains, this kind of person would definitely be at the bottom of society.

However, in France, the rich social benefits ensured that Bob would be able to eat and sleep without worry. Being able to own a newspaper stand only made his life more enjoyable.

After the advent of the online age, more and more young people gave up traditional media and turned to the online media.

Bob treasured his old customers even more. He had a good relationship with the guests at every newsstand.

"It's still about the aliens. Look, the mainstream newspapers are full of these news!" Bob laughed.

"My God, I don't want to see these things. Is there any interesting news?" Old John asked.

"Interesting news?" Bob suddenly thought of the Freedom People's Times that he had just sent over. He immediately took out a copy and handed it over to Old John, "You should be interested in this news!"

Old John took the newspaper, and only took a glance at it as his expression changed greatly.

Above the title was written, "French Expeditionary Forces have been defeated in battle. Countless soldiers have been dyed in blood on the battlefield!"

As a tabloid without much attention, if he wanted to attract attention, he would have to exaggerate the facts.

The French army had already suffered heavy losses. However, the tabloid newspaper could exaggerate that France was not far away from its homeland.

"What nonsense, how could the mighty France Expeditionary Force be defeated in battle!" After Old John finished reading the newspaper, he angrily threw it on the ground.

"John, this is not nonsense. There are at least twenty newspapers in Paris today that reported on this matter. The content is roughly the same, and should be true!" Bob said.

"I don't believe this nonsense. Rather than looking at this, I might as well look at the aliens that appeared in the east!" With that, Old John turned and left.

But Bob didn't give up and instead stuffed a newspaper into Old John's arms, "Take it back and read it. You'll be interested!"

Old John could not refuse and could only pick up the newspaper.

However, when he reached his residential district, he saw several residents packing their luggage.

It wasn't a statutory holiday, so why would they choose to take one at this time?

"Kevin, where are you going on vacation?" Far away, Old John shouted.

Kevin works for a financial company in Paris, with a steady income and a happy family of four.

"John, I'm afraid you don't know that our country is no longer safe after our France has been defeated. I plan to stay in my uncle's home in Switzerland for a few days, and then come back after the situation has stabilized!"

"Don't tell me you also believe the rumors in the tabloids that our expedition team cannot be defeated!" Old John said in a slightly displeased tone.

When he was young, Old John had also participated in the army before.

If they had to face the powerful American Army, perhaps they would be defeated, but in terms of Siberia, there was no one who was a match for the French.2

One had to know that the current Siberia was no longer within Russian control.

"I don't need to believe the tabloid's information, but my university classmate works in Moscow. I've heard from him that everyone knows about the defeat in Moscow!" Kevin said.

With that, he got into the car and left in a hurry.

Along the way, Old John saw four to five families of residents preparing to leave. He immediately felt uneasy, "Could the information in the tabloid be true?"

When he returned home, his wife was already crying. Old John hurried forward to ask, "My God, my dear, what happened to you?"

"I just called Jessie. You know, Jessie's son, James Jr., is a pilot!" His wife cried as she spoke.

James had liked soldiers since he was young. Old John could still remember this child pestering him and telling him stories about the army.

When James grew up, he lived up to everyone's expectations and became a good pilot who piloted the most advanced fighter jets in the French Army.

Due to his outstanding performance, James successfully became the carrier pilot of the De Gaulle aircraft carrier. In a short amount of time, he became the glory of the entire family.

Thinking to this point, John once again thought of the news he had just read, and his heart tightened.

"Due to a malfunction, James Jr. 's plane crashed during training, the government just notified Jessie!" said his wife.

"Training failure?" When Old John heard it, he immediately understood.

As the saying goes, three people become tigers. Now, everything that happened before their eyes seemed to prove one thing.

"Maybe it's not a training failure!" Old John said in a low voice.

"What did you say?" the wife asked, puzzled.

Old John took out the newspaper from his chest and handed it over to his wife. "The newspaper has already published about the government's intention to hide the news of the defeat, little James didn't die from a plane crash, but from a war!"

Gradually, more and more people began to believe that the France Expeditionary Force had really failed.

After all, there were more than 200,000 soldiers there. Nearly half of them were from Europe and America.

The France had sent more than fifteen thousand people, and the families of these people were naturally unable to accept the phrase "accident in training".

Gradually, some people began to take to the streets. They asked the government to give them an explanation.

"A shameful failure, what's more shameful than a failure is concealing the fact of the failure!"

"Weak and incompetent government, we don't need to explain. We only need a stronger government to rule!"

"Let those politicians die, and over ten thousand soldiers become prisoners. Someone should pay the price for that!"

Not only Paris, but also the major cities of France, had seen demonstrations.

Similar to France, there were demonstrations in British German North America.

The heads of state, who had been preparing a counterattack against Saha just a few hours ago, were now forced to face public protests in their own countries.

In a house in Berlin, Bismarck let out a proud smile.

Lu Fanfeng sent him to Europe to cause chaos among the various countries.

Bismarck only spent 20 million and that was easy for him to accomplish. After that, the leaders of the various countries would first have to pacify their own voters. As for the expedition to Saha, they would have to wait for the situation to stabilize in their own countries.
