Chapter 366 Blackou
Meanwhile, the Queen and the Kim Family were about to celebrate the success of the first phase of their plans.
Economic problems...
In less than two days, the news was already full of negative comments and critique about how the Prime Minister did not want to utilize some of allocate budget for the food and agriculture sector because of Wang Empire’s rumored collaboration with the Military.
People were now criticizing the fact that the Prime Minister wanted to let people starve and prioritized the military over the common citizens of the country.
Of course, people started speculating that Jiang Yue was the one who had refused to do that and the Prime Minister was just her messenger.
"I was excited because of Wang Empire’s promising AI project. But I did not expect that it would affect the priority of our leaders." One news anchorman said during a live nighttime TV show.
"Actually, we still don’t know the facts yet. We should not jump into conclusions. I believe we need to wait for the palace to issue a statement considering this rumor."
"Still... I am disappointed. I was always proud of our military technology. However, this food shortage and economic problem are taking its toll on the common people. With the current prices on food and other commodities, many people from the average households will suffer and starve." The anchorman said. "If it’s true that CEO Jiang is the reason that the Prime Minister refused to reallocate the budget, then... I should say that we better cancel this collaboration with Wang Empire."
"Well... I think we should wait for the facts to be revealed, rather than judging Wang Empire based on some rumors and assumptions." The other host of the show said.
Those opinions flooded both TV shows and social media websites. Most of the netizens condemned Wang Empire for their actions while some of them wanted to know more facts about the issue. Still, the majority of the people wanted to wait for the official statement from the palace.
On the third day, a major blackout happened in the capital city of M Country. The reason was a series of electricity transformers explosions.
This time, panic happened on the streets of Dongsu City. After all, it was very unusual for them to have a blackout caused by an explosion. Some people said that it was caused by a group of terrorists, while some people assumed that it had something to do with the rebels who got angry because of the current food problems.
However, some crazy theorists stated that this incident could be caused by Wang Empire to prove to everyone that the Military should not be taken lightly.
Because of that baseless assumptions, a large group of commoners created a ruckus in the front of the palace. They were demanding to have the Prime Minister or the King make a statement. That reaction from common people was not something that Jiang Yue had not expected from the citizens of M country. After all, the issue at hand had already escalated to the extent that started affecting everyone’s lifestyle.
Of course, it was something that was immediately resolved by the Government. Still, the damage had already been done.
While this was all happening, Jiang Yue and Fu Jin were also busy with their plans. Since the Kim family wanted to turn the people against them, Jiang Yue wanted to take advantage of that and beat them at their own game.
Since they wanted the people to hate Jiang Yue and Wang Empire, she would make everyone love her.
"Did the shipments arrive safely?" Jiang Yue asked Bei Ye.
"Yes, Young Miss." He nodded. "The King’s subordinates also helped us deliver the goods to the countryside. Tomorrow we can start distributing."
Jiang Yue just gestured for Bei Ye to leave, without saying a thing. Then, she dialed Gideon’s number and informed him that they would start with their counterattack tomorrow.
’Tomorrow is going to be a long day,’ she thought inwardly before smiling to herself.
