I was acting crazy in North America, and all the crazy people there took it seriously.

Chapter 175 The heroes are gone, but everyone is still winning.

The Sun's principles are consistent: if they say they admire heroes, then they will continue to admire them even after they die, until they see them off on their final journey of "fame".

Under Logan's direction, during the Voice of Freedom's "live broadcast," the announcer used almost every English word related to destruction, grandeur, and terror to describe the devastation of the shelling.

"...According to our reporters on the scene, the flames from the explosion were so blinding that it was impossible to look directly at them, even several kilometers away! Huge mushroom-shaped clouds of smoke rose from the ground and shot straight into the sky! My God, what kind of powerful weapon could possibly do that?!"

His tone suddenly rose, filled with incredulous amazement:
"And in the midst of such a destructive storm, the heroes of Europe—no, they should be called the warriors of Europe, please allow me to call them warriors—not one of them retreated! Not one of them fled!"

"They charged headlong into the raging flames of destruction! Yes, a charge! A charge toward death!"

"It's unimaginable that the warriors of Europe, with their own flesh and blood, fulfilled their pact with the Prohibition Board and fought to the very last moment! Their bravery is beyond compare! Let us observe a moment of silence for these true heroes!"

The listeners in front of the radio couldn't help but gape.

While one may dislike the arrogance of Europeans, it's hard not to feel a touch of admiration upon hearing of such a heroic act of "ready to die for one's country."

The following day, The Sun used extremely striking visuals to completely capture the European hero's "unyielding stance".

The front-page photo captured the horrifying sight of multiple explosive charges landing and detonating almost simultaneously.

The massive fireballs merged into one, and the dust kicked up by the shockwave formed a clear, rapidly expanding white ring of air, like the breath of death, instantly engulfing the blurry figures of several heroes in the foreground who were making tactical evasive maneuvers.

The following is a panoramic view of the battlefield after the shelling.

The scorched earth, as if plowed by a giant plow, was riddled with huge craters. Twisted, unrecognizable pieces of wreckage were scattered among them.

Even more shockingly, at the edge of several craters, one could see some "intact" remains, lying in a crouching position but with bizarre postures—they were killed by the shockwave.

The composition of the photograph is extremely impactful, desolate, lifeless, and cruel, resembling a living hell.

The visual impact was far more direct than the auditory impact, leaving all readers breathless and filled with a profound respect for the "Europeans who died a glorious death."

—Yes, that's how it is if you only listened to Voice of Freedom and read The Sun.

But if we look at other media outlets—

"The ambush's firepower was extremely fierce and sudden, almost completely enveloping the charging troops, leaving them with little room for maneuver and reaction time..."

"The explosion was like a wall that just pushed us over. The Europeans in front of us... didn't have time to do anything at all."

Hey, so that's how it is. The so-called "fearless" attitude of the Europeans turns out they didn't even have time to retreat!
We were wondering why the Europeans suddenly became so "brave"!

Looking back at The Sun, well, that flavor is quite unique!
We initially thought that The Sun was genuinely inclined to "rebel," or perhaps we simply didn't understand The Sun!
When it comes to sophisticated satire, The Sun newspaper has to be it!

You've learned it all, that's how it should be. We Americans aren't the kind of people who kick someone when they're down!

All I can say is that after the Europeans got completely crushed, the script finally became "normal"!

With the script now "normal," everyone's mood calmed down.

In fact, the script was too "normal," so normal that even kind-hearted Americans couldn't help but feel pity for it—we just wanted to teach the Europeans a lesson, but we never intended for them to all perish there!
Those criminal gangs in the South are too "patriotic"! They have no sense of restraint and no sense of proportion when they attack!

"Oh, that's terrible,"

On the streets and alleys, whenever this matter is discussed, Americans all try hard to suppress the slight upturn of their lips, their expressions "sorrowful".
"You know, these European warriors come all this way just to make some money, right? How come they ran into such a formidable opponent?"

"Who can disagree! We can only express our deepest respect and remembrance for such brave warriors who dare to charge into the face of death."

As for those media outlets that gloated, they deserve to be condemned—the man is dead, and you still have the nerve to make sarcastic remarks! Are you even human?

Media outlets that consciously follow public opinion but are criticized: ?

Fuck, the domestic public opinion is changing too fast, and they haven't kept up!

……

It is said that human joys and sorrows are not shared.

Americans are simultaneously enjoying the inner peace brought about by the "normalization" of the script while "remembering" European warriors;
Meanwhile, the people on the other side of the Atlantic must be furious!
not at all!
When the news of the complete annihilation of the European heroes was first received, the entire European continent was indeed shocked.

But the media quickly pieced together a clear timeline of events: the Americans employed a despicable strategy of luring the enemy deep into their territory, using misinformation and terrain advantages to carry out a shameful massacre of our unsuspecting heroes with far more brutal firepower than usual.

It turns out that Americans are really wicked!
When they can't beat the Europeans in a fair, face-to-face contest, they resort to these dirty tricks!
but……

What losses has Europe suffered?

"Those so-called heroes were nothing but criminals, the scum of society, and disruptors of order. Now that the Americans are willing to expend such enormous resources to clean up this garbage for us, shouldn't we say thank you?"

"What did we give up? Almost nothing! What did we gain? A cleaner Europe!"

Some media outlets casually dismissed the "European heroes" from their "warrior status," restoring their "trash" nature, and showing them increasingly adept at applying the winning strategies they learned from across the Atlantic.

"We have also proven to the world that the fear of European force among Americans has reached the point where such extreme measures are necessary! This time, we old Europe have won big!"

Europeans were initially quite indignant, but after reading the media analysis, they found it quite reasonable.

We have eliminated social hazards and demonstrated our opponents' fear. What could be more successful than this?

A tremendous sense of spiritual victory once again enveloped Europe.

Europeans, standing on the moral high ground and at the pinnacle of winning logic, look down on Americans who are immersed in "we won and we are very generous."

The deaths of hundreds of European heroes have once again led to a win-win situation on both sides of the Atlantic!

Or rather, did everyone win?

After all, the heroes of Europe did indeed set foot on the Promised Land!
