sjar Was there any leak in Chapter 323?
Was there any leak in Chapter 323?
It must be said that Qiu Xinrui's methods in inciting public opinion were indeed very clever.
Because the "voices" she arranged all spoke and expressed very "positive" views in front of mainstream media.
After seeing or hearing it, it's hard to find any faults that could harm the Great Qian Dynasty.
For example, the remarks made by Hu Tan and Ma Dakong in the live broadcast room—although they publicly stated that they were supporters of the extraterrestrial civilization invasion theory.
However, after releasing this sense of crisis and anxiety, they still make time to call for and emphasize a key point.
That is—although we know that the invasion of Qianxing by an alien civilization is basically a foregone conclusion.
Moreover, the extraterrestrial civilization that has its sights set on Qianxing is theoretically indeed several eras ahead of the Qianxing civilization.
This is absolutely the biggest and most severe life-or-death crisis that the entire Qianxing has ever faced in its history.
If things go wrong, the entire Qianxing planet could be destroyed by alien invaders.
However, we still believe that the imperial court and the imperial army are determined and capable of protecting the safety of Qianxing!
Because we have a great monarch who is unprecedented and unparalleled, and an imperial army that constantly creates miracles in war.
Therefore, we are willing to believe in our conviction that perhaps, under the leadership of the First Emperor of All Time, we can once again create a miracle and escape this calamity...
At first glance, Hu Tan and Ma Dakong's words seem perfectly reasonable.
This freedom of speech and freedom of opinion—if someone has the reason and evidence to believe in the theory of extraterrestrial invasion, that is their freedom.
Moreover, despite raising numerous questions and providing numerous examples, people still held an almost "blind" trust in Daqian.
Can we really say that Hu Tan and Ma Dakong are villains who deliberately incited negative public opinion and caused panic among the people?
But if you think about it more closely, you'll find that things aren't quite like that.
Hu Tan and Ma Dakong constantly proclaimed their support for the imperial court and their belief in the imperial army.
However, the reasons given for supporting and believing in it are all on the level of spiritual beliefs.
Their citations on this issue consisted of constantly emphasizing the miracles that Shen Moshen and the Imperial Army had created.
He said that this time he would continue to lead the Great Qian Dynasty to create new miracles.
However, when they exemplified the severity and catastrophic nature of an alien civilization's invasion of Qianxing, they presented very reasonable and well-founded arguments.
In comparison, the influence of Hu Tan and Ma Dakong's opinions on public discourse is predictable—the negative impact far outweighs the positive one.
Good heavens—when it comes to extraterrestrial invasion, you all make very pessimistic pronouncements with absolute certainty.
When it comes to how to break the deadlock and what the odds of victory are, all you can offer are your cult of personality surrounding His Majesty the Emperor and the idea that the Imperial Army, which has a history of creating miracles, might continue to do so – statements that clearly sound somewhat uneasy.
In fact, to put it bluntly, what Hu Tan and Ma Dakong said meant that this time the trouble was huge, and there was a high probability that we would be wiped out by advanced alien invaders; but it didn't mean that we had no hope at all.
After all, we can still hope for a miracle!
Isn't our Emperor known as a miracle worker?
Everyone must believe in light and believe in miracles!
If these words had been spoken a few years ago, they would have been perfectly reasonable.
It won't cause that many negative impacts at all.
Because at that time, Emperor Shen Moshen's prestige and status in the hearts of the people were practically godlike!
Therefore, if Hu Tan and Ma Dakong had said these things back then, they probably wouldn't have needed to stir things up.
People subconsciously believe that no matter what disasters or desperate situations they encounter, their emperor will lead them to create miracles!
However, times are different now.
As Qianxing fully entered an era of technological explosion, many people's concepts and ideas have changed unconsciously.
The most prominent change is that, at some point, Shen Moshen, the emperor who single-handedly propelled the entire Great Qian Empire to its peak and unified the entire Qian Star, became...
It's no longer the being revered as a god by the world...
Therefore, the negative impact and panic caused by Hu Tan and Ma Dakong's remarks in the present day are extremely serious.
This is precisely where Qiu Bingrui's sinister intentions lie.
Because the current public opinion storm and panic in the Great Qian Empire was orchestrated by Qiu Bingrui...
-------------------------------------
The capital city—the imperial palace.
"I only care about one thing right now!"
"That is—are there any connection between the rumors circulating outside and the leak of top-secret information!"
Shen Moshen surveyed the crowd attending the emergency imperial meeting with a gloomy expression.
You could tell from Shen Moshen's emotions that the Emperor of Daqian was extremely angry...
"Your Majesty, according to our current investigation, there is no indication that top-secret information regarding the Badaf Zerg invasion of Qianxing has been leaked."
Chen Guyan, head of the Interstellar Intelligence Agency, spoke first: "We urgently reviewed the agency's top-secret database and found no violations."
"Everyone who had access to the data on the Bardav Zerg was immediately subjected to the most rigorous internal review."
"It is now almost certain that our Interstellar Intelligence Agency has absolutely no suspicion of leaking any secrets."
"Basic?"
"Director Chen, your use of the word 'basic' seems a bit lacking in confidence."
"That's not like you at all," Shen Moshen frowned and asked, "Is it basically or definitely?"
Can you give me a definite answer now?
"affim!"
Chen Guyan hesitated for a moment, but still gave a definite answer.
"it is good!"
"Chen Guyan said that the problem definitely did not lie with their Intelligence Department, so it should not be a problem with the Intelligence Department."
As he spoke, Shen Moshen turned his gaze to Zhou Guangming, the military official in charge: "Commander-in-Chief Zhou, what about your side?"
"Your Majesty, we also launched a comprehensive self-examination and review immediately."
"Our military has not found any leaks."
"Within the military, only a handful of people have access to all the information about the Badaf Zerg invasion."
"Actually, it's not difficult to find out."
"Furthermore, any information about the Badaf Zerg is specially encrypted, and anyone who wants to view or access related information must obtain my personal authorization to decrypt the relevant information database."
"What information about the Badaf Zerg was accessed by whom, when, and what information was accessed will also be automatically recorded."
"And it's permanently recorded, the kind that can't be deleted at all!"
"Therefore, I can be absolutely certain that if any leaks occur, the problem definitely does not lie with us!"
-------------------------------------
"Your Majesty, you know me well. I'm the only one in our council who knows anything about the Badaf insectoids..."
"Moreover, you told me about the Badaf insectoids yourself, and we don't have any related information or records here."
"If the leak occurred on our end, then there's only one possible way."
"That's me..."
Councilor Ge Daqiang immediately explained to Shen Moshen, "However, I have absolutely not mentioned anything about the Badaf insectoids to anyone."
"I can absolutely guarantee that..."
"Hmm, you don't need to guarantee it."
Shen Moshen nodded: "I know you definitely won't talk nonsense."
After the Interstellar Intelligence Agency, the military, and the Council all expressed their positions.
The only remaining party that hasn't made a statement yet is the Imperial Security Agency.
Perhaps sensing that all eyes were on him, Min Wenyao, the director of the Imperial Security Agency, immediately spoke up: "No! Stop staring at me like that..."
"Your Majesty, our Imperial Security Agency also conducted an internal investigation immediately."
"The problem certainly doesn't lie with our Security Administration!"
Min Wenyao said with great certainty, "I am the only one in the entire Imperial Security Administration who has access to information about the Badaf Zerg."
"Moreover, our Imperial Security Agency doesn't have much information about the Badaf Zerg."
"This information was classified as top-secret and stored separately for the Director's exclusive use."
"And the only one who can decipher the relevant information is myself!"
"Within our Security Administration, no one other than myself can access this information, even if I authorize someone else to do so."
"Therefore, unless I, the director, leak the information, absolutely no one else can access this kind of top-secret information!"
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Security Agency has always attached the utmost importance to matters of secrecy."
"Not to mention my personal sense of confidentiality and the measures I take."
"If information about the Badaf Zerg is leaked, then the problem certainly won't lie with our Security Agency."
“By the way!” Min Wenyao added immediately, “Our Imperial Security Administration also employs the most comprehensive information-gathering mechanisms.”
"Who viewed what information, when, and how, will all be recorded simultaneously."
“It will be permanently recorded!” Min Wenyao emphasized.
"Whoo~"
Hearing the confident answers from everyone at the meeting, Shen Moshen's tense face finally relaxed.
"I'm relieved that the Empire's top secret information hasn't been leaked!"
"I'm just checking..."
Shen Moshen breathed a long sigh of relief: "Luckily, I was overthinking it."
"If even information classified as top secret by the Empire is leaked, then the problems we face are extremely serious!"
"As long as the rumors circulating outside are not due to the leakage of top-secret information, they are easy to resolve."
"How is the Intelligence Agency following up on this matter?"
"Have you discovered any individuals or organizations secretly manipulating public opinion? Is this related to any criminal organization?"
"Your Majesty, based on our initial findings, it is indeed true that someone is stirring up public opinion behind the scenes."
Chen Guyan nodded and reported to Shen Moshen, "However, we still need to confirm whether there is any involvement of dark organizations."
"However, so far, we have not discovered any involvement of dark organizations."
"No dark organizations involved?" Shen Moshen was quite surprised by this. "Then the speed at which this news spread and the versions of these stories are far too fast, aren't they?"
"As far as I know, these opinions have caused great panic around the world."
"And many people are already building doomsday shelters!"
"Your Majesty, according to our current investigation..."
"A major reason for this situation is that many media outlets are deliberately using this matter as a hot topic to attract attention."
“Our investigation revealed that many people fabricated numerous versions of rumors simply to capitalize on trending topics.”
"Among them are many professional publicity teams."
“That’s right!” Min Wenyao, head of the Imperial Security Administration, added, “In recent times, our Security Administration has arrested many professional teams that maliciously spread rumors.”
"These people are trying to use the topics of alien invasion of Qianxing and doomsday rhetoric to achieve their business goals."
"These people have absolutely no bottom line when it comes to fabricating stories for their own selfish gain."
"Therefore, the rapid spread of these negative opinions is inextricably linked to these people."
"However, our Security Administration has already taken action on this issue."
Min Wenyao said, "The Imperial Security Agency is preparing to intensify its efforts to crack down on illegal activities such as maliciously spreading rumors and causing trouble."
"As long as this unhealthy trend is stopped in time, I think this wave of public opinion will be calmed down soon."
"Our Security Administration has decided to specially select a professional team composed of 'Aurora X All-Round Assistive Robots' to focus on combating this type of criminal activity."
"Our intelligence agency has also taken similar actions."
Chen Guyan then added, "I hope we can cooperate well with the National Security Agency to calm this wave of public opinion down as soon as possible."
"Alright! Then let the Intelligence Bureau and the Security Bureau handle this together."
Shen Moshen instructed, "We must eliminate the spreading panic as soon as possible!"
"Especially at times like these, we must not allow any trouble to occur within our Great Qian Dynasty..."
