Chapter 419 Muddy Waters

“This was a major mistake in our decision-making.”

"But it's too late to dwell on these losses."

"The most urgent thing is to think about what else we can do to deal with the reckoning from both sides."

After Qin Fu finished speaking, he drew a few circles on the map of the Fontaine District with his baton, marking out the major newspapers with the loudest voices in Fontaine.

Looking at Holt, who controlled the Fontaine media industry in the conference room, Qin Fu asked.

"Although the assassination plan against the two new employees failed, and they ran away with the current editor-in-chief of the Steambird Newspaper, but without them, your people should be able to take over the Steambird Newspaper smoothly, right?"

Facing Qin Fu's questioning, Holt nodded, stood up and replied, "Under my instruction, the temporary editor-in-chief has been replaced by an obedient one."

"From now on, the mouthpiece of the Steambird Press will be at our disposal."

"only...."

Holt changed the subject and paused.

"Just what?" Tan Fu frowned and looked at Holt.

"When those bastards left, they also stole the printing tools of the Steambird Newspaper."

"Not only did they destroy many key parts, but they also... took away some of the core components of the printing equipment."

"Although these actions will not completely destroy the printing equipment, they cannot be repaired in a few days."

"Ka-ba-"

The baton in Qin Fu's hand had an indentation left by it, which showed the turmoil in his heart.

"Are there no spare printing equipment?!" Tan Fu asked through gritted teeth, his tone gloomy.

"Yes, yes."

"But the backup machine was also damaged, and the damage was far more severe than the official machine. There is no need to repair it anymore."

"I guess that the matter of the backup machine was revealed by Ou Fu. She was not kidnapped by these two new employees, but was instigated by the enemy camp."

"Ah."

Qin Fu snorted coldly, "Holt, this is the good student you taught. He is really a righteous media person."

Hearing the sarcasm in Qin Fu's words, Holt's face changed and he fell silent for a moment.

"Since it can't be repaired in a short time, let's just not repair it." Qin Fu picked up the baton and pointed at the location of the "Chef" newspaper on the Fontaine map beside him.

"This newspaper has been reporting on food for years, which has nothing to do with politics. It has also advertised for [Jia Ziwei Restaurant] a lot."

"We can simply stop publishing it and transfer all the printing equipment and workers of this newspaper to the Steambird Newspaper, so that the Steambird Newspaper can be used by us immediately."

"Chef is a big media company after all, so I think its printing equipment and related staff are not bad either."

"this....."

Faced with Qin Fu's arrangement, Holt clenched his fists, feeling a little reluctant in his heart.

Although Holt was born into an aristocratic family, he had been in the Fontaine media industry for decades, so he naturally understood what the word "cessation of publication" meant for a very popular old newspaper.

However, the situation is stronger than people, and under the current circumstances, we can no longer consider the long-term.

Qin Fu’s instructions were good. The top priority was to restore the normal operation of the Steam Bird Newspaper and take control of this media with the largest voice in Fontaine.

Holt gritted his teeth and replied to Qin Fu.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

"I will send someone to prepare it immediately. Tomorrow's Steam Bird Newspaper will be published as usual."

After hearing the assurance from Holt, Qin Fu nodded with satisfaction. Now that the channel to the Fontaine's "official media" was completely unobstructed, his plan could be carried out smoothly.

Qin Fu coughed lightly and stated his ideas to the dignitaries in the conference room.

"Everyone, I intend to take the lead in exposing the struggle to the public before [Fontaine Officials] and [Buffati Mansion]."

"Tomorrow, have all the media in Fontaine publish articles at the same time, with the goal of reaching the [Buffati Mansion], and report extensively on the nature of their foreign armed forces and hype up their threats."

"Make up some more illegal and bad incidents, and some real things we have done, and pin them on the Buffati Mansion to ruin their reputation first."

"For example, the [Gray River District Orphanage] incident this time, first rewrite it, then polish it up, and point the blame to them."

"At the same time, the report also mentioned a few words obscurely, saying that the people in the [Buffati Mansion] are very good at winning people's hearts. Even our [Water Demon] Lady Funina was confused by this person's words and lost her correct judgment on certain things."

"Finally, the Steambird Newspaper will do a closing report, pointing out that the Buffati Mansion will make a big move in the near future to subvert the entire Fontaine, which will bring endless disasters to everyone in Fontaine and completely trigger the panic of the people of Fontaine."

At this point, Tanfu O'Brien finished explaining his plan, put down the baton in his hand, and silently looked at the other dignitaries in the conference room, waiting for their reactions.

Regarding Tan Fu's idea, the dignitaries in the conference room looked at each other in bewilderment. Some were in deep thought, some were astonished, and many nodded frequently, approving Tan Fu's strategy.

In the past, these powerful people did not dare to bring these things to the table because the [Buffati Mansion] really had evidence of their crimes in its hands. As long as it was made public, people would naturally know who was good and who was evil over time.

But now, it is another situation.

The people from [Mansion Buffati] did not choose to threaten them with evidence and extort benefits from these Fontainebleau dignitaries; instead, they chose to cooperate with [Fontainebleau officials] to use these evidences to try these dignitaries and their interest groups.

You know, the speed at which Villette arrests and judges people is much faster than the speed at which the ignorant people of Fontaine distinguish good from evil based on evidence.

After all, in most cases, the residents of Fontaine don’t actually care who is right or wrong in a matter.

These people who can be manipulated at will by public opinion are merely using it to vent their emotions.

In addition, most of the media in Fontaine are controlled by these powerful people. Under the deliberate cover-up, even if the [Buffati Mansion] has the most real evidence of their crimes, it has no channels for dissemination and how quickly it can make it known to the world.

At this point, any powerful person with a clear mind would understand that the situation is hopeless.

Taking the initiative to muddy the water in Fontaine is actually just buying more time for their side to make preparations for the retreat.

At most, they would dig a retreat while throwing the mud in their hands into the enemy's face, making them covered in dust.
