One o'clock at noon.

There are still two hours before the ceremony.

Yurisses put down his knife and fork after taking care of his lunch in his office with a gloomy expression.

Before lunch, he had a video conference with the Japanese Emperor Ming Wu.

The content of the talks was simple, but the implications were enormous.

More than half a month had passed since Yurisses took the initiative to initiate the alliance talks. Naturally, there was no definite result from that meeting. America's allies in Asia had concluded their talks with serious consideration and concluded their talks with dignity.

All of this was within Yurisses ' expectations, so less than a week later, the private meeting began.

Yurisses began to lose his bones.

Japan was the first to start the private talks.

This shows just how important Japan is to the United States in Asia.

Of course, during that meeting, Yurisses went directly to the Japanese Prime Minister.

However, the Prime Minister's attitude was very vague.

The Prime Minister said that as a close ally of the United States in Asia, Japan was willing to provide strong economic support to the United States if war between the United States and the Divine Continent Empire was inevitable. As for military support, the Emperor had some different views.

Even Yurisses found it hard to tell whether this was true or false.

The Japanese Emperor is the symbol of the Japanese nation and the symbol of the whole Japanese national.He has the power to appoint Prime Minister (Prime Minister), ratify laws, decrees, treaties, convene parliament, attend ceremonial foreign affairs activities and so on.

However, all of this was nominal. In fact, the modern Japanese royal family did not have any real power, mainly in order to preserve a part of Japanese culture.

However, the current Emperor Ming Wu was different.

Emperor Mingwu had been on the throne for nearly forty years. He was an outstanding figure who used the nominal power in his hands. He had high prestige in Japan, and his prestige was as high as the sun. He could easily influence the internal operations of Japan. The royal family had greatly strengthened their actual power in his hands.

In this context, if Emperor Mingwu had a different view on Japan's support for the US military, then even the Prime Minister would not act rashly.

Yurisses could not tell whether Emperor Ming Wu really did not agree to Japan sending troops, or whether the Prime Minister himself did not want to send troops and pushed all of this onto Emperor Ming Wu.

Emperor Mingwu was different from the Prime Minister. Yurisses could not use many political methods on him. The only thing he could do was to persuade him non-stop.

This afternoon's videoconference was the third between Yurisses and Emperor Mingwu in more than half a month. The result was no different from before. Even if Yurisses had promised great benefits and even sold a weapon system that Japan coveted to Japan, Emperor Mingwu still hadn't let go.

On the contrary, Korea, India, Vietnam, the Philippines, Israel and other countries have expressed a relatively positive attitude under the coercion and temptation of the United States, but Japan is the only country whose attitude is still unclear.

This even made Yurisses feel a little uncertain in his heart. His instincts told him that the old emperor of Japan must know something. That was probably the reason why he was unwilling to send troops. However, even if the other party did not tell him, he had no other choice.

Moreover, Japan was America's strongest ally in Asia. This attitude would not only make other allies hold back their military support, it would even make other countries on the sidelines suspicious.

This situation was definitely not good for the current US.

As Yurisses pondered, a gentle knock sounded on the door.

The president's new secretary pushed open the door and walked in. He looked at Yurisses and said respectfully, "Mr. President, General Earlaen is here."

El Rahn's promotion was not a one-step one. Although he was not a five-star general now, a few days ago, he had already been promoted to the only four-star general in the United States who did not have a real post.

All of this was in preparation for the final promotion.

"Invite him in."

Yurisses said indifferently, his voice dignified.

The secretary nodded and retreated. Then, Earlaen Atlas walked in and saluted Yurisses with a serious expression. "Mr. President, the hospital is fully prepared," he said calmly.

"Very good."

Yurisses nodded with a smile on his face. He stood up and waved to Earlaen to sit down. He sat down on the sofa in the reception area and said, "Have you been notified by the major media?"

"We have already notified them that they will attend the ceremony on time."

Earlaen smiled.

"Yes."

Yurisses nodded and slowly handed Earlaen a cigar. After a moment of silence, he said, "Are you sure you want to participate in person? I'm still the same suggestion. It would be better if you could stay at St. Mary's Hospital."

"No need, I am sure I will personally attend this ceremony."

Earlaen said resolutely.

"Then the hospital..."

Yurisses muttered.

He's not an idiot, Qi Mingxuan and the others thought, Naturally, he could also imagine, Today's ceremony, In two hours, As for Lin Xuanyuan, Qi Mingxuan and the others said, It's a perfect opportunity, In fact, this was originally a trap for Lin Xuanyuan and the others. He released the news of Wang Fuyu's execution, and then exposed Wang Fuyu's current recuperation location. He heavily guarded the place and arranged the ceremony to wait for Lin Xuanyuan and the others to rescue Wang Fuyu while Earlaen was away.

Yurisses had even prepared a substitute for Earlaen for this game.

But the only surprise was that Earlaen rejected the plan.

He insisted that he should personally participate in the award, and even demanded that Gaztu, Adolf, and the others all participate.

However, in order to further strengthen the defenses in the hospital, Atlas had put most of the members of the Sea God's Eye and Giant's Hammer forces into the hospital.

Meanwhile, the Dark Dawn troops had also gathered at the headquarters, ready to support them at any time.

Such a plan was already thorough enough, but in Yurisses's eyes, there were still hidden dangers.

Thirteen days later, thirteen military bases were destroyed.

This kind of thing had thoroughly stimulated the nerves of the upper echelons of the United States and Yurisses. He even felt that no matter what, as long as Lin Xuanyuan did it, there was nothing strange about it.

Someone even told him that Lin Xuanyuan had rushed into Saint Mary's Hospital by himself and killed more than 10,000 people, including the Eye of the Sea God, Giant Hammer, and Dark Dawn. Yurisses felt that he could accept it.

It was precisely because of this insecurity that Yurisses insisted on letting Earlaen personally take charge of the hospital.

In his opinion, this ceremony was nothing more than a trap for the hospital. Whether it was Earlaen himself or a substitute, the Atlas Clan's Clan Chief would become the Marshal of the Rice Army after today, and the hospital was the most important.

But Earlaen refused.

Yurisses didn't know why, but Earlaen understood.

Because of pride.

He was a peak supreme being who could truly fight against the Emperor without losing the slightest bit. Such a person should naturally respect his status. At the very least, he would not go all out to plot against a few junior characters.

Lin Xuanyuan and the others would definitely die, but even if he wanted to kill them, he still had to kill them openly.

His current formation had already been laid out.

A large number of elites were placed in the hospital.

If you, Lin Xuanyuan, dare to go, then go. Anyway, I'm not here. I want to kill you. It's not too late to go after participating in the inauguration ceremony.

It wasn't difficult for 15,000 elites to hold off for two hours.

Another reason was that this was the first step in Atlas's occupation of the United States and the creation of the Atlas Dynasty.

At a time like this, Earlaen would naturally not agree to let a substitute bear the glory for him.

"Don't worry, Mr. President. I can guarantee that Lin Xuanyuan and the others will die today. We have 15,000 elites, X-class experts, and more than ten X-class combat experts in St. Mary's Hospital. There are also two super elite units and a super elite that can be supported at any time. There will definitely be no problem stalling for two hours."

"We are the number one military power in the world, the world's overlord. As the overlord, we should have the demeanor of an overlord, shouldn't we?" Earlaen said calmly.

Overlord's demeanor?

Yurisses smiled bitterly.

He really wanted to have this kind of elegance.

However, a so-called overlord that Lin Xuanyuan had destroyed 13 military bases in 13 days, how could he still have any so-called elegance?

Yurisses did not know whether he should be vigilant or gratified by the Atlas-style American pride on his opponent.

"Alright, since you insist on attending the inauguration ceremony in person, then stay. The ceremony will begin in less than two hours."

Yurisses sighed and stood up. He took out a folder from his desk and handed it to Earlaen. "This is your last speech. I asked someone to write it. Your substitute has already been memorized. Since you personally attended the ceremony, you should take a closer look." Speech to the nation, first time in office, this speech is very important, even directly determine the public and official support for you.

"I understand."

Earlaen smiled, took the document with both hands and opened it. He took out the manuscript and read it carefully.

Yurisses hesitated for a moment, but just as he was about to say something, the phone rang.

Yurisses ' eyelids twitched.

Without knowing whether it was intentional or unintentional, Earlaen raised his head and looked at the phone that Yurisses took out. A strange expression flashed in his eyes.

It's Rotter Bruce.

Yurisses narrowed his eyes and subconsciously looked at Earlaen, who lowered his head again. He casually picked up the phone and said, "How's it going?"

"He refused."

On the phone, Rott Bruce simply replied, "There's no room."

Yurisses ' expression remained calm as he nodded and said, "Alright, I understand."

The call was then hung up.

The atmosphere in the office became silent again.

" Earlaen ."

After a long time, Yurisses suddenly shouted.

"Huh?"

Earlaen raised his head with a calm expression.

"If possible, let's fight in the hospital and try our best to keep Lin Xuanyuan and the other important figures of the royal family alive."

Yurisses said calmly, but his tone was undoubtedly resolute.

Leaving Lin Xuanyuan alive? !

For a moment, Earlaen even thought that he had heard wrong.

Judging from the current situation, in the hearts of everyone in the United States, the one who deserved the most was Lin Xuanyuan.

Now that he was the president, Yurisses actually wanted to leave Lin Xuanyuan alive?

It was simply inexplicable!

What does this mean? !

Killing intent flashed in Earlaen's eyes, and it was extremely obscure.

He felt that he had guessed something.

"You want to negotiate with the royal family?"

Earlaen smiled and asked.

"If possible, we still need to talk about it."

Yurisses glanced at him and then said, "However, negotiating terms with the royal family and waging war with the Divine Continent Empire does not conflict. We will definitely win the war."

"Of course."

"I always believe that," Earlaen said coolly.
