Facing the black information suddenly revealed by Vicki Weir, Michaela immediately trembled all over and broke out in cold sweat!
"It's over, let's take it off this time!"
Torina said vividly: "Once Michaela's situation is confirmed by Vicki-Vail, then the latter will definitely use some points to expand the damage and portray the entire Silithus coalition leadership team as a group of greedy bureaucrats. , an evil group that specializes in reaping benefits for itself, can even use this to deny the necessity of the war for Ahn'Qiraj, and use the pressure of public opinion to disband the coalition forces trying to save the world."
"Think about it, if this kind of report hits the headlines of a newspaper, coupled with a sensational title, such as 'Shocking, the horrifying truth behind the Battle of Ahn'Qiraj,' a news that is enough to reach the top of the trending search list will come out."
"So what should we do?"
"Are we really allowed to let these unscrupulous reporters discredit the warriors who are fighting bloody battles on the front lines to save the world just to attract attention?"
"Mikayla vs. Shimbundo is being serialized!"
"Please read the next issue, I will fight without regrets!"
When Torina got excited, she took the initiative to imitate the storyteller. She raised the gavel she had conjured up with her right hand and slammed it on the desk in front of her, making a "pop" sound.
Torina's mischief in the spiritual world made Michaela's own mental projection roll its eyes and couldn't help but complain:
"Tolina, I asked you to prepare countermeasures. What are you doing here? Are you still serializing it? Do you think this is "Blade Tooth"!"
Torina ignored Michaela's complaints, but said: "Okay, Michaela, I'm just here to cheer you up and ease your embarrassment. To really solve Vicky Vale's smear campaign, you have to rely on You are invincible!"
Michaela "Humph", because after Torina's gag, Michaela had recovered from the initial panic and immediately thought of a solution.
Back to reality, the conversation between Michaela and Torina in the spiritual world was not known to outsiders. From Vicki Weir's perspective, Michaela was stunned for a few seconds, giving the impression that the latter had run out of words.
very good!
Vicky Weir was very satisfied with the effect in front of her and said directly in a sarcastic tone: "Ms. Michaela, you should have a reasonable explanation for this, right?"
Michaela did not answer immediately, but laughed "haha" first, and then said: "Ms. Vicky Weir, I admire your knowledge."
Vicky Weir: "Thanks for the compliment."
Michaela immediately changed the subject: "But you don't seem to have a good understanding of the common sense of diplomatic relations between the Alliance and the Horde."
Vicky Weir said "Oh" and said, "How do you say this?"
Michaela turned to look at Halver and said, "Is there a wolf soul gauntlet from the tribe placed in the bedroom of Duke Bolvar, the regent of Stormwind City?"
Halford stood up and answered: "Yes, there is. It was a gift from the ambassador to Stormwind City, entrusted by the tribal chief Thrall. It is said to be a cultural relic from Draenor, the home of the orcs, and has a history of more than 500 years."
"Ms. Vicky Vale, did you see that?"
Michaela continued: "It has always been customary for the two countries to give gifts to each other. In terms of value, the Wolf Soul Gauntlet is a cultural relic with a history of more than 500 years. Its actual value should be far more than a gold coin check, right?"
As a reporter, Vicki Weir was not qualified to enter Bolvar's bedroom, but according to the intelligence provided by the MI7 agents who monitored Bolvar's bedroom... to be precise, Bolvar did have such a wolf soul gauntlet. , and its origin is completely consistent with Halfer's description.
Antique cultural relics are blessed with historical attributes, making their value inestimable in gold coins. Therefore, the value of the Wolf Soul Gauntlet is indeed higher than Mikaela's check.
"But, Mikaela-sama, what does that mean?"
Vicky Weir noticed something was wrong and immediately spoke to the point: "Can a check be compared with an antique cultural relic?"
Michaela smiled "haha" again and said: "Ms. Vicky Weir, if, I mean if, that is, assuming...
This situation does not exist. That check is really as described to you. It is not a gift from the two countries, but a personal item given to me by Stormwind City. Do you want to use this to prove that I am a greedy bureaucrat? ? "
"Is not it?"
Vicky Weir asked, "Aren't you greedy?"
"Oh, is that so?"
Michaela asked again: "If your hypothesis is true and I am a greedy bureaucrat, then do you still want to continue to prove that the coalition forces in Silithus are all a group composed of greedy bureaucrats like me? In order to satisfy your own selfish desires, you create an imaginary enemy so that you can legitimately extract benefits?"
"Is not it?"
Vicki Weir had just said it, but her experience as a reporter had already made her realize that Michaela was digging a hole for her.
Why are the news media so keen on digging up dirt? Their real purpose is to attract attention so they can sell more newspapers and earn gold coins, even if they ignore the facts.
However, facts exist objectively and will not be changed by how the media distorts their reports.
Even Vicki Vale understood this. The Alliance and the Horde did not gather so many troops, raise so many supplies, and go to Silithus to move sand because they were full. But because there was really a huge threat, they had to take action together.
"So, Lady Michaela, what do you want to explain?" Vicky Weir looked at Michaela.
Michaela continued: "Vicky Vale, I just want to ask you a very simple question. What is the purpose of our alliance and tribe coming all the way to Silithus to form reinforcements?"
Vicki Vale replied: "To defeat the huge threat behind the Beetle Wall."
"very good."
Michaela continued: "But just now, you didn't think that I was a greedy bureaucrat based on the check I received, and then you inferred from one point to another that the entire coalition is composed of greedy bureaucrats like me, with the sole purpose of making profits. ?」
"I..." Vicki Weir didn't dare to speak.
Because this was not a private occasion, not only the top leaders of the coalition forces but also other media were present, so Vicki Weir could not deny it.
"I believe you have noticed, Ms. Vicki Vale, that the inference is not consistent with the facts. In other words, it is slander."
As the offense and defense of both sides reversed, Michaela's momentum became stronger and stronger: "You know, in any country, public slander is a crime. And in our coalition, there are not only tribes, but also alliances, including yours Kingdom of Stormwind.”
At this point, Mikaila turned to look at Halfor and asked deliberately: "Then, Lord Halfor, what is the crime of publicly slandering kingdom officials in the Kingdom of Stormwind?"
At this moment, Halver's face was already full of smiles, and he said loudly: "According to the laws of our kingdom, those who defame kingdom officials will have their homes confiscated and then go to jail."
Halver deliberately paused tactically, and turned to look at the female reporter Vicky Weir, and said: "Ms. Vicky Weir, since you are a reporter from the Good Morning Alliance, your slanderous behavior is likely to affect your organization. The company, even your boss."
"Vicky Vale, did you hear that?"
Mikaila looked at Vicki Weir who was already covered in cold sweat and said, "Your officials from the Kingdom of Storm have already paid the price for slander."
Looking back at Vicky Weir, the corners of her eyes, mouth, and fingertips were all twitching. She wanted to argue and refute, but Michaela, who took the absolute initiative, had become the incarnation of the devil in her eyes. , suppressing her to death.
"However, everything before is just what-ifs, assumptions, and speculations on a possible situation that has not happened in reality."
Suddenly, Michaela changed the topic: "Ms. Vicky Weir, you only slandered in a hypothetical and non-existent situation, but in reality, you have not done so."
"Huh? Oh, yes!"
Vicky Weir reacted immediately
"I was just asking about the check from Lady Michaela, and you gave a perfect explanation. It was just a normal exchange of courtesy between the two countries."
"Very good, thank you for your understanding."
Mikaela nodded with satisfaction: "You know, our Alliance and the Horde gathered in Silithus to form an unprecedented coalition to deal with the evil power hidden in Ahn'Qiari and protect Azeroth."
"Although this upcoming war will consume a huge amount of supplies and sacrifice countless lives, it will all be worth it. Only by protecting the world under our feet can we have a chance to win the future."
"I believe that as an excellent reporter from an excellent media, Ms. Vicky Weir, you will not make distorted reports that smear our coalition forces, but will write the true situation into the news, right?"
In the spiritual world, Torina concluded: "Don't say anything that is not conducive to unity."
In reality, to this extent, it is certainly impossible for Vicky Weir to continue to sing the opposite:
"Ms. Michaela, you are very right. I will definitely write the most real situation into the news. For example, the coalition commander is King Saurfang from Orgrimmar. He is the most honest and upright orc I have ever seen. . I believe that under his leadership, the coalition forces will be invincible and achieve success immediately."
At the end, Vicki Vale did not forget to compliment: "On behalf of our 'Good Morning Alliance', I wish the coalition a successful start and an early victory in the Ahn'Qiraj War. My interview is over."
"Thank you for your blessing, Vicki-Vail."
Michaela, who won the media war, also smiled from the bottom of her heart: "I also believe that we will be able to win and defend the world at our feet."
How about it?
Are you familiar with Michaela’s routine?
Isn't this the method that Humphrey taught him at the beginning, to present facts (demonstrate negative information), reason (threat), if there is no negative information, create negative information, use threats to force the opponent, and finally provide steps to make the opponent understand. Only by working with yourself can you have a good outcome.
As a result, the press conference ended, and Halver, Brewer and Marlis who were present all took the initiative to go to the podium to celebrate the victory with Mikayla.
As for King Saurfang on the side, he also laughed.
"I knew Michaela could do it."
The old general Salaka said to King Saurfang: "Mikaela can always bring miracles."
"Um."
King Saurfang nodded, and then said: "After getting rid of these media, we can devote ourselves to the preparations for the next war. I hope that no accidents will happen."
Accident?
How could there be no accidents in a place where the Dread Lord is involved!
That night, in Mikaela's private room, Tessa appeared again disguised as a female dwarf:
"Well done, Michaela, I always believed you could take care of Vicky Vale."
Michaela snorted: "Thank you for your help, Tessa, but why don't you leave? Is there anything else?"
"Ah, Michaela, you really understand me. We are the best partners, aren't we?"
Just listen to Tessa say: "I just want you to..."
