Chapter 1346 - Open The Base (2/2)
At this point, many people were moved by Thomas’s “sincerity”.
To be honest, many of the people had already suffered from Stockholm syndrome. All the UA soldiers who committed crimes in the country had been sent back to the UA and tried in military courts, but they were soon acquitted.
Now, the UA was willing to open up their military base to prove their innocence, which made them feel like their opinion actually mattered. Since it was the first time they openly expressed their willingness to allow the media to investigate and collect evidence!
Of course, the premise of all trust here was based on the fact that everything Thomas said was true, and that the servers were not associated with Takeda Pharmaceutical and the T-virus. But if the results did prove that the UA was collecting T-virus data, then their stance would not change the slightest.
Except before the investigation began, most of the protesters had already believed Thomas’s confident statement…
The Yankees were not joking.
After Thomas finished his speech, two officials, escorted by UA soldiers, came to the media’s broadcast vehicle and began to arrange the investigation process.
After all, it was a military facility, and it was definitely impossible for a large group of people to enter, so only ten news agencies were granted permission to enter.
In this case, the question of who to choose became very important.
If they chose all UA-based news agencies, no one would be convinced by the result.
Perhaps because of their absolute confidence, only two news agencies named were based in the UA, and even two news agencies from Hua were selected despite the opposing views.
After the list was announced, all representatives present no longer expressed objections.
In addition to the four major news agencies of Reuters, AFP, Xinhua, and the Associated Press, there were also broadcasting companies that were equally influential, such as BBC, NHK, and CTV. As far as the list was concerned, it was fair and square.
As to whether the investigation process was truly transparent…
It would be determined once the result was released.
The unusual cooperative attitude of the UA made the crowd, especially those who wished to see the downfall of the UA, feel hesitant. Including Sumitomo Kenichi and all representatives of anti-UA garrison organizations, everyone did not expect the UA to cooperate in this unprecedented manner. Because usually, even if they were amid controversies, they often had a strong stance.
But this time, they just…cooperated?
Sumitomo Kenichi picked up the phone anxiously and dialed Jiang Chen’s number.
As soon as the call was connected, he hurriedly said.
“They opened their military base…”
“I know, so what?”
So what?
Jiang Chen’s nonchalant response made Sumitomo Kenichi confused.
“Do you think I am betting that they will never compromise? They will never open their military base and carry this bowl of dirty water from Yokosuka back to their own home soil?”
“…Are you not?”
When Jiang Chen said this, Sumitomo Kenichi had a strange expression on his face, because Jiang Chen had already said what he wanted to say.
“Use your mind to think about it,” Jiang Chen sighed softly; he was about to say something, but he quickly changed the topic and laughed, “Forget it, why am I explaining this to you. Just enjoy the show.”
After he left the bewildered Sumitomo Kenichi with this sentence, he hung up the phone.
