Chapter 1413: Chapter 678: So Many Have Fallen!
The sixth day of the United Nations conference recess.
The streets of newspaper offices in New York Manhattan were crowded with newspaper bosses receiving shipnts, waving cash in their hands.
“Give it to ! Give it to !!”
“I’ll add twenty percent!”
The entrance to every newspaper office was almost overflowing.
In the 90s without the internet, newspapers, radio, and TV were the main battlegrounds for public opinion wars.
xico’s National Radio aired the docuntary “Sword Against Drugs” every morning period, a docuntary centered on xico’s anti-drug efforts.
Everything inside is real.
Even the heroes who sacrificed themselves are real, moving viewers to tears.
Anyone with a conscience would be touched after watching it.
Yet the European dia’s counterattacks were equally fierce.
The United Kingdom’s BBC aired a segnt in its evening news showing “xican soldiers beating civilians.”
Oh, Fair-minded Official…
While you damn beat them, could you change that British accent? Those who don’t know would think you had cow dung stuffed in your mouth.
These little tricks…
Are too clumsy.
Italy’s RAI TV invited “human rights experts” to tearfully narrate “at least fifty million civilian casualties in xico’s drug war.”
“Fifty million? That’s the population of one South Korea, one Uganda!”
The host feigned shock, dialing up the atmosphere.
The expert seriously nodded, “We’ve confird with insiders, it’s exactly fifty million!”
“Fifty million, gentlen, Victor is simply a murderous demon!”
Compared to this kind of nonsense, xico’s voice was far more rational.
xico’s ambassador to France presented a stack of bank transfers at a press conference in Paris: “Here are the records of paynts made by France’s LVMH Group to drug traffickers through offshore companies. Everyone can take a look, how much of your luxury goods are stained with Latin Arican blood!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a journalist countered: “Your Special Forces mistakenly killed civilians in Brazil, why not present evidence for that?”
The argunt escalated from data to personal attacks, until French security had to escort the agitated journalist out of the venue.
Outside the European Union headquarters in Brussels, protesters marched with banners saying “Stop Latin Arican killings,” yet among them were odd characters with signs that read “Drug traffickers are human too.”
It was later exposed that they were actors hired by European consortia. anwhile, in xico City’s Constitution Plaza, thousands gathered with placards saying “Anti-drug efforts never die,” placing European dia’s “tragic drug trafficker” photos on the ground for passersby to trample and curse: “These child-killing bastards, deserve sympathy?”
In the arena of public opinion, the verbal battles gradually devolved from “civilized debates” to vulgar curses.
People are indeed simple.
F— your mother!!!
Spanish “World Newspaper” columnist cursed xico as “Latin Arica’s rogue state,” while xico’s “Supre News” imdiately retorted that “Spaniards still haven’t forgotten the bloody colonial days, what right do they have to criticize others”; a German journalist on TV called xico’s iron fist a Fascist behavior, while a xican journalist rebuked on radio: “During World War II, how did Nazi Germany treat Jews, and now you’re sheltering drug traffickers!”
As the war of words intensified, the stances of various countries beca clearer, with capitalist Europe largely standing united.
Almost entirely forming a condemnation camp.
The fifteen European Union countries jointly issued a statent, urging Brazil to “imdiately cease military action and restart peace talks,” with Germany and France further announcing a suspension on Brazilian agricultural imports; while Eastern Europe’s Hungary and Poland did not join the sanctions, they supported the European Union in the United Nations Human Rights Council.
Only Switzerland remained neutral, yet quietly froze assets of several xican companies related to anti-drug efforts; it was evident that the Swiss banks harbored too much drug money from European consortia.
But in Latin Arica, the situation was as chaotic as a pot of porridge.
Cuba and Venezuela promptly stood out to support xico.
Cuba’s spokesperson declared at a public eting in Havana: “The anti-drug war of Latin Arican countries must not be hijacked by European public opinion!”
Venezuela further announced a donation of dical supplies to Brazil specifically for the aid of civilians in anti-drug operations, while Colombia, due to the “xico-Colombia-Brazil” triangular alliance, directly opened its borders, declaring that Brazil’s plight was Colombia’s plight as well!
But the other Latin Arican countries played the role of “feigning ignorance” and “playing dumb.”
When Argentina’s President was asked in a press conference about his stance on Brazil’s anti-drug war, he hesitated for a long ti, finally saying, “We are more concerned about dostic beef exports; comnting on other countries’ affairs is inappropriate”;
Peru’s President’s National Security Advisor Vladimir Montesinos announced “temporarily closing borders with Brazil to prevent conflict from spreading.”
Yet in reality, they did not stop drug traffickers from shipping weapons from within Peru to Brazil. People in the Peruvian governnt had accepted benefits from the European consortia, seeking to neither offend xico nor upset the EU, choosing “closure” as an escape from taking sides.
Playing both ends.
The most absurd was Chile.
Know Pis Saint? That’s Augusto Pinochet, a resolute “Western puppet,” “capitalist conscience,” “strongman dictator,” although he stepped down in 1990, he still holds the position of Army Commander.
At 80 years old, he told reporters, “Latin Arica belongs to everyone, not soone alone’s Latin Arica.”
This statent made it abundantly clear which side he was leaning towards.
