At 9:45 a.m. federal time, Imperial Minister Pengeo held a press conference at the Pengeo Consulate to the federal society.

In front of many federal reporters and even world reporters, he attacked the federal government's stupid decision, and made things difficult for Pengeo's search and rescue team on the grounds that "the federal government obstructed the Pengeo Empire from retrieving the missing nobles", and what happened was that

friction.

The friction escalated yesterday and turned into a small-scale battle, which ultimately cost the Federation thousands of lives!

Subsequently, the federal stock market plummeted, and some defense stocks even created a terrible disaster with a 30% plunge in the morning!

There is no way, Minister Penjiao seems to be showing off how weak the federal army is, and it is not even capable of being the opponent of Penjiao's army!

People will not believe that Minister Pengjiao is lying. There is no room for lying in this kind of international incident. It will only become a lifelong scandal for a person and a scandal for a country!

Subsequently, some media reported that at least tens of thousands of troops had been mobilized and boarded ships to leave the port in the past few days. After the news announced by Minister Penjiao today, these news were cited as a kind of evidence.

Then some more shocking news began to spread, such as the news that the 15th and 17th Army Divisions were completely wiped out. In short, they were all badmouthing this battle.

Some people couldn't wait to jump out and make conclusions about this military action. They even pointed the finger at Mr. President!

Yes, many people may not realize that Mr. President’s term is about to be halfway through!

In other words, the general election is about to begin in one and a half years...

Since the minister of the Pengeo Empire released a lot of information and put the federal government in a passive position, the Presidential Palace held a press conference at 11 o'clock in the morning.

The press officer admitted at the press conference that the "friction" between the Federation and the Pengeo Empire was rapidly escalating.

However, he said that everything is still under control!

It's just that the federal reporters and international reporters present were not so easily brushed off.

Someone stood up directly and asked a question that the press officer could not answer——

"If the Federals had an advantage in the battle, why didn't you announce the situation first and tried to conceal it? Can we think that the Federation's losses were much greater than what you announced?"

This question...it is actually very unreasonable. It is as unreasonable as "if you don't tell me, you must be hiding/deceiving me".

Although it is unreasonable, the people believe this judgment. You don't tell us because the real situation is worse than what you said.

In fact, the press officer didn't know much about the inside story. He only got a press release, a Q&A, and some core content.

He didn't know how to answer this question, and just when he was about to say, "I don't know, you guys might be right," Mr. Trueman turned on the microphone.

"In fact, the Pengeo Army we annihilated was much more than our losses, and the reason why we are unwilling to release these data to the public is that we are unwilling to allow friction to continue to escalate!"

With one sentence, everyone's attention shifted to Mr. Trueman.

He lowered his head, looking at a piece of data, and then read out the contents of the document, "...as of 18:00 sharp on the evening of x, x, it is estimated that no less than 2,000 enemies will be eliminated in battle..."

"... As of 18:00 sharp on the evening of x, x, no less than 3,500 enemies will be wiped out in battle..."

He raised his head as he spoke, raised the material in his hand, waved it, and put it back, "This material, which should not have been disclosed to you in the first place, tells us that we annihilated approximately eight thousand enemies in three days!

"

At this time, a reporter immediately stood up, and the press officer looked at Mr. Trueman, meaning "Should I let this damn bastard ask questions?" and "Should I kick him out?" Mr. Trueman shook his head slightly.

This news is too "explosive". If we don't answer their questions now, they will definitely make up their own nonsense in order to gain the attention of the audience and the so-called "first news time".

Some people, especially those in the federal government, always hope that the federal government will suffer misfortune. These people have always had ideological problems.

Instead of letting them write up the specific circumstances of that battle based on their own ideas and confuse right and wrong, it is better to release some official information.

Mr. Trueman's hand was holding a red pen and was tracing a box on the upper left corner of a piece of white paper. Yes, there was not a word on the document he just raised or the document he was looking at. That

Just a blank piece of paper.

But he had to do it, it wasn't deception, it was a strategy.

In order to make everything more real, he must draw a "top secret" document by hand as soon as possible.

Generally, top secret documents will consist of a "box" and a single word "top secret". He looked at the reporter who stood up calmly.

"Mr. Trueman, if we have achieved amazing results in the battle, why do we send at least 50,000 to 60,000 additional troops to Nagaril?"

When you stand in front of a group of people, if there are only a few people in the group, you can see through them at a glance.

If there are a dozen people here, you might want to count them.

If there are dozens of people here, you can only make a rough guess.

If there are hundreds or thousands of people here, you might only think there are three to five hundred people here.

If there are thousands of people standing together, the first impression will be that of one or two thousand people.

When it comes to the issue of "counting people", people always subconsciously compress their own cognition. This is caused by people's ignorance.

In fact, one hundred thousand troops rushed to Nagaril, but it was impossible for people to count them clearly. They only thought that there were fifty or sixty thousand people.

This question is also very critical, but Mr. Trueman has already had a mental plan, and he answered quickly, "Because we don't want to let the friction escalate, we still maintain our sanity, but we have to prevent our opponents from losing their sanity."

, do something terrible."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "They went to Nagaril not to make up for the losses after the previous battle, but to prevent the outbreak of larger-scale fighting."

"We promise here that we will try not to spread the scope of the battle and prevent it from escalating, but if the Pengeo Empire attempts to challenge our bottom line, we do not recommend starting a war with them at this time!"

The flashing lights flashed more intensely, and people stood up and asked Mr. Trueman. Among the many questions, the most common question was, "Do you mean to declare war on the Penteo Empire?"

The conference room was completely boiling. If the Federation declares war on the Pengeo Empire, then World War II is very likely to break out!

You know, the World Development Council has just been established not long ago. If a large-scale military operation is launched now, it will definitely involve 24 countries. This is not a world war, so what is a world war?

Finally, Mr. Trueman raised his hand and pressed it, stood up and replied, "This is not a declaration of war, it is just a warning to our opponents!"

"The Federation has never been afraid of war. If you want to fight, you must be prepared for a full-scale war!"

He packed up his things and stood up to leave. I don't know if he left in a hurry, but a corner of the document was exposed outside the folder, with the signature "Top Secret" printed in bright red on it.

This scene was photographed by many reporters. In the special supplement or supplement issued in the afternoon, this photo with the title of "top secret" document was often quoted to increase the authenticity.

After returning to the office, Mr. Trueman sat on the chair. He was waiting for news, good news from the front line!

At the same time, the first bombing squadron began to take off, with a total of thirteen aircraft flying towards the predetermined location. Ten minutes later, the second squadron took off, and then the third squadron...

A total of 104 aircraft in eight formations were loaded with 208 cluster bombs. Tens of thousands of small fragmentation bombs would explode within the bombing range, no matter where they were hiding.

In the woods, on the tidal flats, and even in the river, there is no way to completely avoid these bombings, and the bombings are continuous!

When the plane just flew over the designated location, suddenly the "tongtongtong" sound of the machine gun rang out in the woods. It was dull and full of power!

Machine-gun shells were fired into the air one after another, and a bomber was hit on its fuselage before it had time to release the bomb.

The bomber began to "bow down" while smoking. The pilot tried desperately and angrily to pull it up, but it was obvious that there was a problem with the transmission and he could not control the lift of the plane.

In his final desperation, he opened the bomb magazine and threw two cluster bombs out in one go!

With a huge burst of fire, the first plane crashed.

"Pull up, quickly, pull up!"

The radio communications were full of panicked orders. The Pengeos knew that the Federation had an absolute advantage in the aircraft, so they were equipped with many anti-aircraft guns.

The entire dense forest seemed to be shaking and trembling, as countless cannonballs shot into the sky from under the tree canopy.

Because of the obstruction of the tree canopy, the pilots could not capture the location of the anti-aircraft guns, so they could only carry out the bombing slightly in advance.

Planes crashed one after another, and at the same time, the dropping of cluster bombs began a feast of explosions and blood!

The falling plane will burst into flames, accompanied by earthquake-like bombings, and the dense forest will be destroyed in pieces!

The bombing lasted for more than three hours. Except for the cluster bombs used at the beginning, ordinary aerial bombs were used subsequently.

Some people may think that this is "revenge", but in fact it is not, or it can be.
