Here we go.
Here we go again.
This goddamn feeling is coming again.
In the huge conference room, in front of the many high-ranking officials of the United States, Yurisses ' expression was still dignified, but his eyes were somewhat uncontrollably absent-minded.
This was a familiar, unfamiliar and extremely annoying feeling.
When Federation City was reduced to ruins and all the living high-ranking officials of the United States moved towards the ancient city, Yurisses had once experienced the feeling of being ignored, completely ignored, and treated with disdain.
At that time, he was also the president of the United States, but his two subordinates, Dabinett and Hoventon, dared to take the initiative to convene a high-level meeting of the United States when they did not know about him. More importantly, all the high-level officials of the United States recognized the legitimacy of that high-level meeting.
At that high-level meeting, Dabinett's real intention was to set up a war headquarters, but on the surface, he was discussing the issue of removing the president.
As for him, he was only notified by Elvin, Dabinett's number one think tank, before the meeting began.
That meeting was considered an extremely important meeting in the United States in recent years.
Many things were settled at the meeting.
Such as the establishment of the War Command.
Such as Atlas, which had completely expanded.
Howington and Dabinett, who were standing on equal footing with him.
Another example was the Emperor's surprise attack on the venue, which heavily injured Earlaen.
Afterwards, an offensive and defensive battle broke out in Dark Town.
It was an extremely important meeting, so important that it even changed the overall structure of the United States.
At that meeting, if Atlas hadn't supported him with a clear attitude, he might not have been removed, but he would have long since become a puppet that wasn't under his control.
The price Yurisses paid for accepting Atlas's support was to pay a number of extremely important positions, allowing Atlas, who had just arrived, to gain a firm foothold in the US military.
Then, from the start of the attack and defense of Dark Town, The big scenes of the United States played out one after another. The Black Town Breakout War, the first Black Town War, the second Black Town War, Huo Wenton being captured, Scana launching a mobilization order, he and Yurisses plotting against Huo Wenton Group, then Huo Wenton's return, the Lonely Continent Route, the six countries forming an alliance, and the royal nuclear test until today.
During this period of time, the United States was in turmoil, but Yurisses's life was more comfortable. The more chaotic the situation was, the more he deliberately controlled the situation. Such a comfortable life even made him forget the feeling of being ignored.
Until today.
Until this meeting.
Suddenly, without any preparation, all of his light was stripped off by Huo Wenton.
Right now, he was still sitting on the throne, but Huo Wenton was talking with confidence. He was clearly a governor, but with the tone of a president, he should not be too excited as a true president.
Yurisses couldn't help but be excited.
He tried to sit up straight, He maintained an extremely dignified posture, but everything in his line of sight was slightly absent-minded. The conference room seemed to be spinning in the sky. A wave of powerlessness filled his heart. Sweet blood seemed to rush down his throat and be swallowed by him again. Yurisses subconsciously turned to look at Earlaen, his nominally closest comrade-in-arms.
Earlaen seemed to have noticed Yurisses's gaze and turned to look at him. Just as hope rose in Yurisses's heart, Earlaen smiled gently and nodded at him. It was an extremely reserved and courteous gesture.
After that, Earlaen turned his head back and placed it on Howington's face.
Again and again, accidentally or intentionally, The alliance between Atlas and Yurisses had long been riddled with cracks. Perhaps the two had never been truly intimate. After Atlas had clearly become one of the top military forces in the United States, Earlaen had forgotten President Yurisses who had invited them to the United States.
Ask him for help?
That's not impossible.
As long as Yurisses was willing to hand over some of the benefits of the Yurisses Group, Earlaen would take action.
However, Yurisses no longer wanted to do such a thing. He did not want to, could not, and did not dare to do it.
So he looked at Huo Wenton again, then lowered his head, stroked the coffee cup in front of him, and remained silent.
In the meeting room, the voices of denouncing the royal family and Silver Nation continued.
"This is outrageous. This is blatant aggression. These damned yellow monkeys have violated our sovereignty. Go to the United Nations and summon everyone. We must denounce the Divine Continent Empire for this behavior."
"To denounce the Divine Continent Empire? Are you mistaken? The one occupying Lonely Continent is the royal family."
"Is there anything different between the royal family and the Divine Continent Empire?"
"Actually, it's the same, but on the surface, the royal family has never returned to the Divine Continent Empire. How can it be considered the same?"
"Then denounce the royal family!"
"The royal family does not belong to the country."
'"..."
...
"War. If he wants war, then give him war."
"That's right. We are the most powerful overlord country in the world. In terms of military strength, the Silver Nation and the royal family are no match for us. Send out our troops to suppress Lonely Continent and crush everyone into pieces."
"Then which legion should we send out?"
"Of course... Of course, gather together."
...
"We still have to be cautious. I think it's necessary to confirm whether Silver Nation really intends to join hands with the royal family."
"I think it makes sense. In recent years, Silver Nation's diplomatic relations with us have been very good. Why did President Mariano make such an irrational decision? What kind of bargaining chip did the royal family give him that allowed him to betray the United States and even North America?"
"Mr. President, should we talk to President Mariano? If this is a misunderstanding, then it proves that today's news is just a false alarm to us. Everyone can rest assured."
"Mr. President."
"Mr. President?"
Slowly, the lively meeting room gradually quieted down.
Everyone looked at Yurisses.
Yurisses was still sitting, his entire body dignified, but at this moment, no matter how he looked at it, he felt dull and numb, like a dignified empty shell.
Bahamat coughed heavily and remained silent.
Yurisses suddenly regained his senses and looked at the gazes on his face. Looking at these old subordinates, his heart was somewhat panicked. He hurriedly picked up his coffee cup and drank a mouthful to conceal his loss of manners. Then, he said calmly, "What's wrong?"
'"..."
A group of higher-ups looked like they had seen a ghost. Bahammat stood up to save the encirclement. "Mr. President, many colleagues think that we should communicate with Silver Nation and President Mariano. It is very difficult for us to confirm the authenticity of the news of Silver Nation joining forces with the royal family. Perhaps the royal family is deliberately spreading the news to confuse us. Our diplomatic relations with Silver Nation are not bad. Is there any misunderstanding?"
Huo Wenton narrowed his eyes and subconsciously looked at Tigeras. The other party looked at him calmly with a faint smile in his eyes.
Huo Wenton turned around again and lowered his head to drink coffee.
Indeed, Bahamat was right. The upper echelons of the United States were indeed not sure if the news that the royal family was about to join forces with Silver Nation was smoke released by the royal family. However, the higher echelons of the royal family were certain of such a thing.
Unfortunately, there were two high-ranking members of the Imperial Clan dressed in high-ranking U.S. Statuses beside Huo Wenton.
The news was told to him by Teglas, and it was likely to be correct.
That's what he thinks.
Yurisses agreed.
So when he heard Bahamat's words, Yurisses ' lips twitched violently. He shook his head and hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "Not long ago, to be exact, two hours ago, I was having a video conversation with President Mariano."
The higher-ups were stunned, and they immediately focused all their attention on Atlas.
"What did Silver Nation 's Mariano say?"
Earlaen narrowed his eyes and asked. As the Marshal of the Rice Army, he absolutely couldn't escape when it was his turn to express his stance.
"His intentions are basically the same as the news Governor Teglas received. He does have the intention of joining forces with the royal family."
Yurisses sighed.
Even now, there was still a trace of confusion and anger in his heart.
In less than two hours after Mariano hung up the video, news of Silver Nation joining forces with the royal family spread. In that instant, Yurisses almost went crazy.
He could not understand why Mariano's movements were so fast and resolute.
There seemed to be only one explanation for this.
It was before this that Mariano had already decided to join forces with the royal family. However, they did not know yet. It was only tonight that some secret information was sent over by the agents.
In other words, Yurisses ' video with Mariano tonight was a complete insult to himself.
