Chapter 981 Big News (Third update, please subscribe)

The night is deep, and the lights of Singapore are twinkling in the silent night sky. Wilson ended a busy night in the newspaper office and was ready to leave this place full of the scent of ink and paper. Just as he was about to step out of the office, the phone rang suddenly, breaking the tranquility of the night.

"There is someone calling so late, who could it be?" Wilson said to himself, with a hint of doubt and fatigue, he re-entered the office. He picked up the phone and heard a familiar yet troublesome voice from the other end.

"Wilson, it's me, Logans."

The person on the other end of the phone got straight to the point,

"I have a big news to tell you."

Wilson frowned slightly. Logans always used "big news" as a gimmick, but it was usually more thunder than rain. There was a hint of joking in his tone:

"Logans, my ears are getting numb when I hear your 'big news', but how can I not be happy for nothing?"
< br>Just as he was about to hang up the phone, Rogers' voice suddenly became urgent and firm:

"No, it's true this time, Wilson! I swear to God, this news is worth far more than Your imagination. It's worth £100, no, I'd even say it's worth £500, even £1,000!"

Wilson was so shocked by the amount that he almost dropped the phone. He couldn't help but sneer:

"1,000 pounds? Logans, are you drunk too much?"

But Luo Gens's voice became firmer:

"No, Wilson, the value of this news far exceeds this. If I go to other reporters, they will definitely compete to buy it, even offering up to 5,000 pounds. It's possible. But I chose you because we are friends."

Wilson was stunned. He had never heard Rogers talk about a piece of news so seriously. He knew that although Logans liked to exaggerate, he would never dare to talk such nonsense. In the past, the news he talked about was only worth a few or more than ten yuan at most. This guy didn't have a big appetite. When he talked about big news, he was often very cautious in setting prices because he knew very well. If the offer is too high, the other party will never buy it.

Today, this sudden high valuation made him curious.

"Are you sure your news is worth so much money?"

There was a hint of scrutiny and suspicion in Wilson's voice.

This guy probably just wants to make a deal, get the money, and then return to the UK.

This seems to be possible.

Logans seemed to have anticipated Wilson's reaction. He said firmly:

"No, Wilson, what you should ask is, can you make the decision? After all, this is 1,000 pounds, and this is just me. A conservative estimate of the news value. I promise, this is definitely news that is enough to shock the world. But I must remind you that this news will only be known in a few hours. "

Wilson was silent for a moment. He knew that although Logans' words were exaggerated, they were by no means groundless. He took a deep breath and decided to give this old friend a chance:

"Okay, Logans, I believe you for once. But if you dare to lie to me..."

He Before he finished speaking, Rogers interrupted him impatiently:

"Don't worry, Wilson. This news will definitely bring you fame and fortune. Let me tell you, this is big news! You may not know it, just today..."

Wait until you hang up the phone , Wilson sat at his desk and didn't move for a long time.

"...What Duke is on that plane!"

He just sat there with a dull expression. He knew that, just as Logans said - this is A big news worth 5,000... no, big news worth tens of thousands of pounds!

Wilson can even hear his own heartbeat - is this true?

Although he was surprised, he knew very well that absolutely no one would make fun of this news.

......

In the afterglow of the setting sun in the afternoon, the air in the BBC Radio office seemed to freeze. Alvin stared at the message in his hand, his eyes as wide as bells, and his shock was palpable.

"This... this is really unimaginable. How could it be possible? How could it be possible?"

His voice trembled, as if every word contained indescribable shock. .

Adams looked at him with solemn expression on his face. He spoke slowly, his voice low and firm: "Alvin, we have confirmed many times that the flight has indeed lost contact. It seems that they really encountered an unpredictable accident."

He After a pause, he seemed to be giving Alvin a buffer time, and then continued:

"In order to confirm the news, I specifically contacted several nearby airports. They all said that the plane did not follow the instructions. Scheduled time drop There was no news about its landing, and when Wilson got the news, he had contacted a nearby airport through the radio before the plane disappeared. Overseas Airlines Flight 117 had a fuel leak..."

Alvin's face became paler and he clenched his fists as if he had lost a relative, but in fact everyone knew what he was thinking. As the director of a radio station, he knew very well what this meant - Big news!

Big news!

"Do you know what this means?"

Adams took a deep breath, knowing that the next words would hit Alvin's heart like a heavy hammer:

"This It's not just an ordinary plane crash, Alvin. This means...our Majesty the Queen, she...she became a widow."

Alvin's expression changed instantly, and he seemed like. As if thinking of something, he sat on the chair. Then he murmured to himself:

"Your Majesty the Queen... She is really a poor guy. She is pregnant again now, and at this time she has lost her husband and the child has lost its father. This is really a tragedy..." His voice became smaller and smaller, and finally turned into a silent sigh.

At this time, the entire office was immersed in an inexplicable emotion, and Adams asked again.

"So are we covering the news now?"

Adams asked.

“The royal family’s press officer has not yet issued this news.”

After a moment of silence, Alvin said.

"We should send out this news as soon as possible. The British have the right to pray for the Duke with the royal family. Maybe...it is just a loss of contact!"

Okay, this is all news. It was just the words of those who had come before. Everyone knew how to report such news. Soon an urgent news was broadcast on BBC radio and television, and the news was so shocking.

Another British "Comet" passenger plane had an accident!

But this time there is a clear difference from the previous accidents - among the passengers of this missing plane was the Duke of Edinburgh. In addition to this title, he is also the Royal Navy Marshal, Field Marshal and Air Marshal and others...

But the most important title is - he is the husband of Her Majesty the Queen!

For a moment, everyone was stunned!

Thousands of people took the initiative to walk towards the White King Khan Palace. They lit candles in their hands and prayed for the Duke and prayed for God's blessing.

At the same time, Elizabeth, the Queen of Great Britain, sat there with tears on her face, murmuring softly from time to time.

"Philippe, my Philippe..."

Although Elizabeth was dissatisfied with Philip's successive derailments, and even had some hatred, otherwise the two of them would not have had different beds for several years, but now, after hearing that the plane he was on was missing, , she immediately thought of the love they had when they just got married, and she was so happy at that time.

When the Prime Minister walked into the office, Elizabeth asked urgently.

"Have you found the plane?"

Aiden shook his head and said.

“Your Majesty, we have sent warships and aircraft there, and asked India to send their warships for search and rescue, as well as Nanyang. Nanyang has also sent warships and planes. Please believe that we will do our best to search. ! We will never give up hope."

Although he didn't know what exactly happened between the Queen and the Duke, Aiden knew clearly that there was a problem between them. Of course, he could understand this problem because of the Duke's cheating.

But what he couldn't understand was the Duke's behavior and what made him choose to go to Asia when the Queen was pregnant.

This is simply unimaginable. Could it be because that guy cheated again?

Well, Aiden was also very dissatisfied with the Duke. He was not satisfied with having the most precious queen in the British Empire. He went around to hook up with other people, and even gave birth to an illegitimate child.

Can the Queen not be angry about this kind of thing?

However, if he is angry about this kind of thing, the Queen will definitely forgive him, just like several previous exposures. It was just for the Duke to go overseas for a few days to avoid the limelight.

Maybe this time it is also for this reason.

However, who could have imagined that the Duke would be so unfortunate.

"Comet"... is really an ominous thing.

Almost subconsciously, in Aiden's mind, the "Comet" plane completely became a black cat, a black cat that symbolized ominousness. Since his appearance, let alone the plane's accidents every three days. , even the British Empire's national power is deteriorating day by day.

The emergence of this mentality naturally sentenced the "Comet" aircraft to death.

However, for the UK, the most important thing is search and rescue...
