Chapter 314 No Freeloading
The bombing of the underground computer room at Cheng Group's headquarters in Yaojing caused extremely adverse consequences.
All servers of its core product, "Blood Moon Legend", have been shut down.
Although Cheng Group repeatedly stated that it was only the air conditioner that was broken, the air conditioner repairman took away the server, mistaking it for an air conditioner.
However, many people heard the explosion that came from the Cheng Group headquarters that day. Later, the scene of a large number of fire trucks, security guards and monitoring guards gathering in front of the Cheng Group headquarters building was also photographed by someone and circulated in various tabloids and on the Internet.
The Cheng Group tried hard to suppress the news, but the empire was currently in a state of war and was subject to the new wartime press law promulgated by the emperor.
No one except the Supreme Council and the Imperial Broadcasting and News Directorate has the right to influence the media.
In the Imperial Supervisory Council, a large number of newly promoted supervisors, with a passionate sense of mission, are keeping a close eye on every group in the empire, ready to bring high-ranking officials who violate wartime laws to court at any time.
Although the Cheng Group is a long-established industry, it does not dare to bring bad luck at this time and can only allow its unfavorable news to ferment in an invisible place.
Cheng Tianlong, the nephew of Elder Cheng, is the chairman and general manager of Cheng Group. He almost madly accused the agents sent by Changshan County of blowing up their main server.
However, since the evidence he provided was just a few chat records, the Imperial Supreme Court did not accept it.
After careful investigation, the Imperial garrison troops did not agree with his accusations.
They thought this was just a common conversation among young people. If calling someone "idiot" needed to be solved by throwing bombs, the empire would have been in ruins long ago.
This became a mystery.
The garrison checked all the cameras in the vicinity at the time, but could not find out how the attacker entered the heavily guarded headquarters building, nor how he left after the explosion.
The only pity is that the camera inside the headquarters did not capture the attacker's face.
Although Cheng Tianlong, the nephew of Elder Cheng, strongly identified that the person he saw was the mayor of Changshan County himself, the surveillance video at the time showed that he did not know the attacker at all.
Moreover, Changshan County also provided surveillance video of the county chief personally arguing with Cheng Tianlong a few minutes before the explosion.
Changshan County is more than 800 kilometers away from Yaojing. There is no doubt that it is impossible for County Chief Lin to cross 800 kilometers in a few minutes, penetrate layers of defense, appear inside the Cheng Group headquarters building, and blow up the server.
Therefore, Cheng Tianlong's words were deemed unreliable, which was the reason why the two quarreled and became enemies on the Internet.
In the end, the Imperial Garrison's investigation concluded that it had nothing to do with Changshan County, and that an unidentified person had attacked the server at the Cheng Group's headquarters.
Given that the online game "Blood Moon Legend" he runs has many black fans on the Internet, the identity of the attacker cannot be determined.
The attacker was listed as a Class A wanted criminal with a $1 million reward.
When Lin Wen learned about the bounty, he did not have the idea of giving away his life.
Are you kidding me? How can one million be worth my net worth?
Do you know how much profit Tenglibaba Company makes per second now?
As soon as the Cheng Group was bombed, Tenglibaba immediately opened fifty new servers, which happened to be the original servers of "Blood Moon Legend".
Although there are a lot of attacks on Alibaba on the Internet, saying that the company is extremely unethical and is making money from refugees.
But making money is not shameful.
All the efforts of Cheng Group in advertising and expanding its user base suddenly became a pain.
Even Tenglibaba launched a public opinion offensive, demanding that Cheng Group compensate players for their losses. After all, "players are innocent" and "how can the players' blood and sweat be used to make up for the company's losses?"
This put the Cheng Group in a very passive position.
After all, the empire still has to maintain its dignity on the surface and emphasizes fairness, love for the people, benevolence, righteousness and morality.
The Imperial Political Supervisory Council, secretly supported by Li Longxing, made much of the previously hidden information transparent, and by using the stick of hindering the Empire's victory in the war, it pushed the Empire's superficial slogans deeper into the grassroots.
Now, if you do not love the people, the Political Supervisor can accuse you of being suspected of "destroying the good image of the empire in the hearts of the people" and attempting to cause "the empire to lose the people's support and its foundation to be unstable", which will in turn lead to "civil unrest in the empire and affect victory in the war."
Although this accusation can only be used in the developed eastern regions, it is at least an improvement.
In order to take public opinion into consideration, Cheng Group was forced to promise to compensate the players for their losses.
For this reason, Cheng Tianlong, the nephew of Elder Cheng, the chairman and general manager of the group, was very aggrieved. He cried, made a fuss, and even threatened to hang himself at home, insisting that his uncle Elder Cheng come forward to kill Changshan Jun.
Elder Cheng ignored the second generation of the family. While ordering the resumption of operations as soon as possible, he stepped up the accusations against Changshan County.
——
When Lin Wen was thinking about how to make some quick money, a telegram came back to him from the front line.
The telegram said that they had won the first battle and captured more than 10,000 prisoners. Under the persuasion of Xu Chaogong and others, these abandoned miscellaneous troops surrendered one after another.
Lin Wen became a little restless after seeing this information. Supplies are very expensive now, the food problem has not been completely solved, and all kinds of military supplies are priced high in the imperial market.
It's useless for him to have so many troops, and they can't create any good karma. It's enough for him to be able to protect himself and help me reincarnate without being bound by cause and effect.
"Call Qin Luoshuang later and tell them to stop recruiting people. Just ask Shizhou to pay money to redeem the captives."
Lin Wen continued reading.
The telegram said that although they had won a great victory, the enemy had not suffered any casualties.
The four military leaders sent by Shizhou were very cunning. Their main force did not enter the battlefield at all. They were just supporting the rear, and it was all the miscellaneous troops who were fighting for their lives.
The front line now needs a large amount of materials for building bunkers, special artillery shells and bullets, as well as fuel for helicopters and tanks, and medical supplies.
"All these supplies cost money. Making 30 million shells is also a huge sum of money. We must find a way to get some money."
"Why do I suddenly feel like I've lost out?"
Lin Wen thought about it carefully and suddenly understood.
He just robbed a few dollars worth of food, but ended up wasting billions to make artillery shells for the empire. Isn't this a huge loss?
A huge amount of military expenditure was spent on the war with Shizhou, which was a huge loss.
My period is all gone.
"No, I want to make back what I lost."
"Just take it from Shizhou."
The telegram ended by saying that Wang Zhengwu had received a request for help from the Shizhou rebels.
These rebels were blocked by Gu Dacheng's direct troops and were extremely short of bullets and food. They hoped that Changshan County could find a way to help them.
Qin Luoshuang added a message at the end of the telegram:
The Shizhou resistance army can greatly play a role in restraining Shizhou, which is extremely beneficial to us.
If the rebels can be supported to further inflict heavy damage on the Shizhou Group, Shizhou may be forced to cease fire.
"After all, the secret war is only to resolve disputes between the halls and cannot affect the stability of the empire."
Lin Wen thought and continued reading.
Once we are forced to cease fire, it means the end of the secret war, the Shizhou Group will give up the right to claim compensation from us, and Changshan County will not have to pay any price.
Therefore, they are our best allies and we must find ways to help them.
Also: The satellite phone may be monitored. Do not discuss any sensitive matters on the phone. For military intelligence, use encrypted telegrams or your quantum wave communicator.
Qin Luoshuang, Chief of Staff of the Changshan County Army.
December 25, 188 AD.
The last sentence reminded Lin Wen, and he tried, but [Thousand Mile Sound Transmission] required vision to assist in positioning, and the distance was related to his cultivation level. He could not transmit to the Qichuan Mountain Base hundreds of kilometers away.
"Forget it, I'll go by myself."
"Help the Shizhou rebels and grab a few billion. This war can't be fought in vain, these bombs can't be made in vain, and no one can get Lin Wen for free."
"Wow, haha."
