Chapter 198: All Our Peers Are Envious And Jealous Of Us Right Now
With Lugou Bridge and Yuanping City falling under the edge of the army of the Japanese Army, the entire foreign public concession was shaken, major foreign newspapers and domestic newspapers continuously dispatched reporters to conduct interviews and obtain the latest front-page headline news, especially after hearing that the 29th Route Army of the Chinese Army had secretly evacuated Beiping City at night, abandoning all the civilians in the city, and that the Japanese Army’s 20th Division had launched the first round of offensive operation against Beiping City,
it immediately ignited the nerves and emotions of all foreign newspapers and domestic newspapers, making them even more frantically dispatch more informants and reporters to interview for news, hoping to obtain the latest worthwhile news to publish in newspapers for sales to make money.
New York Times Shanghai newspaper office,
This was a three-story western-style house villa in the business district of the city center of the public concession,
“How is it? Have our frontline reporters sent back photos and news materials of the Japanese Army 20th Division occupying Beiping City?”
“The Chinese Army 29th Route Army has left, so with so many elite troops of the Japanese Army launching an attack, Beiping City has probably already fallen under their edge of the army by now!”
“Just like Lugou Bridge and Yuanping City, both have fallen!”
Editor-in-Chief Manager Grant, in a very good mood, asked his secretary Amber beside him.
To know that his newspaper had already made a basin full of performance in newspaper sales after reporting the news and war photographs of the battles at Lugou Bridge and Yuanping City.
So now he was also very much looking forward to the war photographs and intelligence materials of Beiping City falling to the Japanese Army.
He even more hoped that this front-page headline news would bring him more money, performance glory, and envy, jealousy, and hate from his peers.
“We are already contacting the newspaper reporters stationed in Beiping City. They should be able to send the war photographs from that side back to our headquarters side by this afternoon!”
“That’s what they said when they reported the news last night!”
“And it was they who sent back the photos of the 29th Route Army secretly leaving Beiping City, as well as the war photographs of the Japanese Army stationed outside Beiping City after occupying Yuanping City!”
“Our front-page headline news sales volume today being able to explode in popularity also owes much of the merit to them!”
Secretary Amber immediately nodded and responded.
“Hahaha! Right! David, Jenny, and Eddie are all excellent reporters, they are all our gold medal reporters!”
“Without them stationed in Beiping and Tianjin collecting news materials, our New York Times would not have become the first news agency to release the latest news from that side!”
“Now all our peers are envious and jealous of us!”
“Once those three send back the current battle situation and situation war photographs and news manuscripts from Beiping, forward my message to tell them that I will double their wages for this month, so they all have to work hard for me, and send back all the latest battle situation news from Beiping at the fastest speed!”
“Our newspaper must take advantage of such a good battle opportunity to make the newspaper sales volume explode, and make a basin full! This is a very rare money-making opportunity. Now everyone in the entire public concession, even the citizens of major surrounding cities, are eagerly paying attention to the news of the battle resisting the Japanese Army from the Beiping side!”
Upon hearing that the latest news from the Beiping side could be obtained by afternoon for publishing in newspapers for sales,
Editor-in-Chief Manager Grant laughed even more excitedly.
Although he was not optimistic at all about whether Beiping City without the 29th Route Army garrison would immediately fall,
but if war photographs of the Japanese Army entering the fallen Beiping could be published first to make money, he was still very much looking forward to the sales performance of this explosive newspaper content.
Anyway, in his heart, he had already judged that Beiping City without the protection of the 29th Route Army would definitely fall very soon.
But at this moment,
another secretary Audrey hurriedly ran in.
“Editor-in-Chief! Jenny and others sent a telegram from the Beiping side, saying that a new particularly major change has occurred in the battle situation there. German weaponry elite troops appeared there, repelling the vanguard troops of the Japanese Army 20th Division and severely damaging them!”
Secretary Audrey reported anxiously.
After the words fell,
the entire editor-in-chief office was dead silent, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
And Editor-in-Chief Manager Grant, who had just been laughing heartily and talking freely, was also shocked by this sudden news completely beyond his expectations, staring dumbfounded with his mouth agape.
And his secretary Amber beside him also showed a shocked, incredulous expression all over her face.
Because she herself also felt that Beiping would definitely be fully occupied by the Japanese Army today after losing the 29th Route Army garrison, just like the outcome of the already fallen Lugou Bridge and Yuanping City.
But now such an unimaginable, unexpected battle situation had emerged.
So she too was shocked into speechlessness.
