“Daily News: Jieke Group claims that arms procurent with Mao Bear Country will proceed as normal and will be used in foreign wars… Conclusion: A terrifying warmonger is showing a devilish smile.”
“New York Daily: Private enterprises getting involved in arms trade poses a great danger to the safety of the local population. Mao Bear Country must imdiately stop its related arms exports and stop assisting in the tyranny.”
“Wall Street Journal: Bloated wealth brings bloated desires. The head of Jieke Group, Su Jie, speaks boldly, saying if business competition does not yield results, then they would resort to force to gain benefits.”
The next morning, fresh newspapers had put Su Jie on their front pages, mostly with negative headlines.
These news articles had long departed from basic professional ethics, disregarding facts and wantonly slinging mud.
...
It wasn’t just in the newspapers. On the radio, television, and online, various forms of abuse and twisted interpretations of Jieke Group were being synchronized.
Through a variety of channels, they spared no effort in saring, to better provoke emotions.
Because only in this way, could the subsequent military actions by the Eight Nation Group better brand themselves as the force of justice.
A similar set-up had been adeptly employed by Western dia for so ti.
The battle for public opinion in modern society is also very important; they first wanted to isolate Jieke Group so as to conveniently take action.
These overwhelming news articles ranged from the statents made by Su Jie of Jieke Group to the recent explosive posts by the Eight Nation Group. The heated verbal exchanges between the two sides imdiately sparked lively discussions among the observant masses.
‘Fuck, I just found out that Jieke Group is so powerful, having bought seven billion US dollars’ worth of fighter jets and missiles. I used to think they were just selling shampoo.’
‘If you understand the developnt history of Jieke Group, you’d know that they cannot be regarded as an ordinary company. In the East Qin State region of Chan Country, it can be said that Jieke Group actually plays the role of the local governnt, a small country disguised as a company.’
‘Oh my God, the real owner behind Jieke Group turns out to be Chinese, and so young too. That fortune must be enough to make it onto the Forbes billionaires’ list, right?’
‘The person above, at most that’s a small warlord.’
‘Here is the information I’ve collected from both public and covert channels, to reveal a bit about Jieke Group and its behind-the-scenes player, Su Jie. According to publicly disclosed information, Su Jie owns Jieke Group and also Tianyuan Ho, the leading enterprise in Hua Country’s high-end ho market. There’s also Mu Hua Food Company, with pig breeding exceeding 15 million, ranking in the top five of pig breeding enterprises in Hua Country.’
‘Besides, there are nurous subsidiary companies. A preliminary estimate puts Su Jie’s personal net worth definitely in the top ten of the global Forbes billionaires’ list.’
‘You guys have got the wrong idea, isn’t it ti to discuss how rich soone is? I think Su Jie’s remarks at the press conference are clearly gearing up for a fight!’
‘This is courting death. The Chan Country Governnt Army has a force of 300,000 troops, plus the rotation of troops from Japan. Jieke Group can’t possibly win the fight; once a war starts, they will collapse instantly.’
‘A man’s pride will be his downfall, and now the Eight Nation Group has publicly declared that they will take asures against Jieke, including but not limited to military action. Even if Jieke Group bought fighter jets and air defense missiles, so what? Can those rookies use them?’
‘Just another Captain Ka in real life, young and foolish, thinking he can stand against heaven, earth, and the air, not realizing he’s already half buried in the ground.’
‘Beautiful Country isn’t wrong; Jieke Group is indeed an extre radical organization. Otherwise, how could they buy so much military hardware? All that talk about suppressing rioters, that amount of firepower is overkill for a warlord. So, I support the just sanctions by Beautiful Country, to eliminate the cancer of Jieke Group that is festering in Southeast Asia and return peace and prosperity to the region.’
‘I guess this Su Jie is all bark and no bite; he wouldn’t dare instigate a military conflict. Otherwise, under the ‘Sakura-Chan Mutual Defense Treaty,’ Japan could send troops legitimately and flatten his little Jieke Group. Long live our Great Sakura Empire.’
‘Even though I’m not a fan of war, bullying a little warlord should be no problem for our Japan Self Defense Force. I wish you victory and safe return, transport!!!’
‘I’m from Hokkaido. My husband Oda-san has gone to Chan Country. Oda-san told that if he distinguishes himself in Chan Country, the reward will be very generous. When he returns, we’ll settle down and buy a house in Tokyo, becoming Tokyo people.’
These overseas netizens kept discussing, mostly mocking and pessimistic about Su Jie’s remarks.
And those who tried to speak up for Jieke Group, criticizing the hegemonism of the Eight Nation Group, were ruthlessly limited and hidden.
After all, these news dia and social platforms are completely controlled by capital, and any discourse unfavorable to them would naturally be swept away.
The freedom of speech extolled by Western social dia should not be taken seriously.
However, in Hua Country, the public opinion was the complete opposite.
On social dia platforms like Douyin, Man Shou, Little Broken Station, Weibo, and Bi Hu, people were leaving comnts and discussing.
BigPixiuBeast: Holy shit, we actually have such a badass in our country. Aweso, bro.
WorldSoBigEarnMoneyToSee: Having money and guns, damn, the young people nowadays really know how to play, huh?
