From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 338: Scoring Three Times
As Atlas Group's first serious large-scale external publicity plan, its effect indeed exceeded Amber's expectations.

First, a round of statements were made to attract attention, and then a corporate promotional video was released to catch people's attention. The time chosen was exactly when a fierce war broke out between the two major human forces.

Although many people have not been caught up in the war, the impact of the war in other aspects has already affected their daily lives.

Soaring prices, curfews, no leaving the planet without special reasons, and information control began to be implemented in galaxies close to war zones.
More and more people are beginning to worry whether war will come to them tomorrow and whether enemies will fall from the sky tomorrow.

Therefore, during this period, whether it is the Federation or the Empire, the hottest topics on the Internet are "How to save yourself when war comes" and "War zone survival guide".

Originally, there was a large amount of information about "Frontline Battlefield Records", but it was soon deleted on a large scale by officials from the Empire and the Federation on the grounds that it was "bloody and violent and could easily cause unnecessary panic."

At this time when the heat for this war that concerns itself is extremely high, Atlas can easily take advantage of the heat by releasing relevant statements and corporate videos.

Especially the angle of this promotional video, which is not about promoting how powerful Atlas is, but about how Atlas will help ordinary people. The effect of the promotion is completely different.

But if the content is good, in this era where major media platforms use algorithms to push and create information cocoons, such a promotional video may not be seen by many people, and the final result is likely to be lost in the sea and fail to stir up any waves.
Therefore, the "assistance" of these media platforms is indispensable.

However, Amber is also disgusted with media companies that use algorithms to control what ordinary people see and hear every day.

So from the very beginning he didn't think about looking for them to cooperate in buying traffic, but was ready to get it for free.

No matter how powerful the encryption of your private media company's core host is, it can't be as powerful as the encryption of the federal military network or the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs, right?

Therefore, with Lilith's easy infiltration in the early stage, several major media companies in the Federation and the Empire, as well as the backends of their main products, had been secretly conquered by Lilith.

When the Atlas Group's official account released the statement and promotional video, it immediately received the highest level of traffic, including the opening screen + various push notifications, plus maximum exposure, ensuring that everyone who opened the relevant APP would see these two pieces of information at first glance.

At the same time, a strange phenomenon also appeared in these media companies.

In such a short period of time, no one pointed out that the content released by Atlas Group received abnormal traffic.

Because the level of exposure is so high, it makes people feel that this might be a big deal that the company has just received.

Even if someone thinks there is a problem, they have no intention of pointing it out. After all, this kind of push with maximum exposure cannot be decided by one or two departments, and it also involves issues such as scheduling.

What if I jump out and say there is a problem, and it turns out it is a big project, and the boss asks me, "You don't know about such a big project?" In this case, I don't know how to answer.
Therefore, in this kind of workplace environment where "self-protection" is the core priority, the subordinates think that it is the boss who has brought in the big business, while the boss thinks that it is the subordinates who have negotiated the big order and is waiting to see the profit when the financial report is released. For a while, no one even thought about whether there was anything wrong with this matter.

Especially after seeing that these two pieces of content were published on the platforms of other companies in the same industry in addition to their own platforms, and were also vigorously promoted, this doubt completely disappeared.

It's impossible that everyone will have problems at the same time, right?
Everyone had only one thought in their mind: this company called 'Atlas' was really powerful.
As a result, the two pieces of content released by Atlas Group quickly became the most popular with the "help" of major platforms.

Some media companies’ analysis teams even held meetings to analyze the effects of this large-scale publicity and regarded it as a successful marketing case. However, it was not until the bosses of several companies began to inquire about the profit margins of this business that the companies realized that something seemed to be wrong.

Because they could not find any record of cooperation with the Atlas Group, and apart from posting these two pieces of content on the platform, the other party had no other contact with them.

Employees from the technical departments of various companies immediately began to check the background records, including the write records at the lowest level of the server.

It turned out that there were no problems with all the processes and there was no sign of hacking. Everything was being carried out in accordance with regulations. The only problem was that no one remembered having done anything.

A terrible answer suddenly appeared in their minds.
They may have been taken advantage of.

And there is no evidence.
-
As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous just like pigs are afraid of being fat.

When Atlas successfully became famous and a highly-watched company through this large-scale publicity, the federal government also came to it.

In fact, the federal government had already begun to pay attention to Atlas after the battle of Rubion V. This time, the heat caused was too high, and even aroused a small-scale anti-war movement among the people, so they came directly to "raise an army to hold them accountable."

As a result, the public relations team in charge of the reception directly took out the speech they had prepared long ago.

"We are a company of the Thousand Star Empire. We do not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, nor do we need to respond to the Federation's recruitment orders for companies."

"We only signed a basic material transportation contract, which has expired. Since our company does not intend to renew the contract, this practice does not constitute a breach of contract."

"Didn't the federal government plan to let private companies perform 'humanitarian aid' missions in war zones? We are doing this for free now, but we won't use the federal government's name. You will also save a lot of commission, right?"

While the federal government representative was speechless, the public relations employee in charge of the talks pulled out the introductory information for the 'communication service package'.

Then the attitude of the federal government representatives and what happened next were exactly the same as what happened in this reception room some time ago.

I didn't believe it at first, then I was invited to try it, and then I was like, 'It's so good.'

Especially after knowing that this business has been cooperating with the Empire, the representatives of the federal government also realized that this service project must be won. At the same time, they also understood Atlas's "good intentions" to remain neutral in the war.

"You guys are just trying to sell both sides."

"No, no, no, Mr. Representative, it's a bit vulgar to say that. We treat every partner equally.
If our company favors one of the two countries during cooperation, wouldn't the other country have a deep prejudice and attribute some of the war failures to our company?"

Although the federal government was not impressed by Atlas's "sophistry", it finally decided to cooperate with Atlas.

The reason is very simple. What the Star Dragon Empire has, they must also have, especially this cross-era communication technology, which is likely to have the ability to change the direction of the war.
