First, Shift the Blame

"Wait a minute before going up..."

Standing in a corner of the hall, Mr. Truman watched the Vice Minister's helpless expression with a smile on his face and raised his hand to stop the two agents beside him from taking their original actions.

After Lin Qi told him about this, he contacted the National Security Committee and within just one afternoon, he mobilized a number of National Security Committee Agent to come and follow Truman's orders.

Mr. Truman is not a politician in the traditional sense. He has extensive military experience, and his family members, regardless of their official positions, were all military personnel with deep connections in the military.

Most of the members of the Bayer Federation National Security Committee are from the military. This agency is composed of elite military personnel and is responsible for dealing with individuals, organizations, and incidents, both domestic and foreign, that may threaten Federal security.

Thanks to Mr. Truman's extensive experience, even though he was not in the military, the military still regarded him as one of their own, and the National Security Committee, which had close ties with the military, naturally did not treat him as an outsider.

As a representative figure of the Radical Faction in the military, many military personnel believe that Mr. Truman is the most likely candidate to change the current status quo of the Federal Military.

As is well known, the Conservative Party Conservative Party dominated the country in previous years, and its campaign slogans, such as cutting military spending, reducing the Military Expenditure budget, and reducing the number of active-duty personnel, were very popular with the public.

In that era, the military seemed to be the source of evil and fear, and anyone who said anything against the military would surely gain people's approval.

The military has been suppressed by the Conservative Party for too long, so they are even less likely to let this opportunity pass them by.

He stopped the agents from clearing the area, glancing at Lin Qi beside him. They had just been talking about things in Nagaril when the sudden incident interrupted their conversation, but Mr. Truman was not in a hurry.

Lin Qi didn't foolishly ask him things like, "What if we don't stop these people immediately and it causes a huge impact?"

Without a doubt, whatever the impact, the First Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, who was primarily responsible for this reception, must bear all the blame.

And he just happened to be at odds with Mr. Truman, so the latter had even less reason to clean up his mess.

He wanted to wait until the situation worsened before taking action, so that he could demonstrate his importance and make the Vice Minister appear exceptionally incompetent in comparison.

The demonstrators lying in pools of blood were chanting some inhuman slogans, and Lin Qi couldn't help but shake his head as he looked at them.

Mr. Truman noticed his subtle movement. "You've softened?" he said, laughing. "But I don't think you're the kind of person who would soften."

"Only farmers worry about a newborn calf that will inevitably end up in people's bellies. People like us have long lost the right to be soft-hearted. I shake my head and just lament that these people's sacrifices are now worthless."

He turned to Mr. Truman and said, "Sacrifice is the most direct and effective way to change reality, but we should plan ahead beforehand, rather than making blind sacrifices."

"Blind sacrifice is not sacrifice, it's just foolishness."

His tone was somewhat mocking as he stood at the edge of the crowd, wearing a smile that was meant to make people feel relaxed and approachable. But at this moment, those smiles seemed a little... strange. "And this isn't even a sacrifice; it's just a bunch of fools being used."

The Bayer Federation very free, which is a common perception, but this view is not entirely accurate. Whether it is the government or the conglomerate, they will scrutinize the ancestors of those who enter the middle and upper levels.

The reason for doing this is simple: to avoid sabotage from opponents and to ensure that this person will become one of our own in the future.

It sounds unbelievable, when did the free Federal start doing this? But in reality, this is the most realistic truth, it's just that many people at the bottom of society don't understand it.

For example, in a presidential election in Federal history, a prominent candidate gained the approval of the vast majority of people. Almost everyone and all media believed that he could win by an absolute advantage.

His opponent was an actor, a comedian, or at the time, a slapstick comedian, the kind of actor who could bring joy to people.

While this actor can bring joy to people, he is not a good candidate. History is full of presidents who started as actors, but this guy clearly doesn't have that potential.

During the campaign, bombshell revelations about the comedian kept emerging, such as that he was gay, that he suffered from severe depression and needed to take large amounts of medication regularly...

Nobody thought this somewhat pathetic comedian could win, but surprisingly, he did.

His victory was seen by some as a Federal miracle, and the lower classes rejoiced because only they enjoyed the farces and comedians' performances.

In reality, his victory was not due to popular support, but rather to the problematic background of his opponent, the candidate favored by "everyone".

His father had served as a high-ranking Federal official and had worked with a president who served only one term before stepping down in disgrace to target some capitalists. They wanted to curb the rampant spread of capitalism, but they clearly failed.

The president at the time was ousted without even a chance to be re-elected, along with his Presidential Cabinet members.

Once this candidate's background was revealed, Major Consortiums began targeting him, engaging in vote-buying and bribery. These deals, which some might consider ugly and shady, were quickly resolved under the guise of money.

A politician who was a strong contender for president was abandoned by the upper echelons of society just as he was about to win the election, simply because of his father's political stance.

This has happened many times before. Capitalists know how to divert public attention by shifting it from "why they failed" to "miraculous success."

People always yearn for beautiful things, so they naturally give up on finding out "why they failed." As for those who are capable of finding out the truth, they are themselves among those who create "miracles," and they are even less likely to make these things public.

The truth is always buried in the sand at the bottom of the river of history. Just because people can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

These troublemakers and demonstrators outside have now had their files stamped with a red mark. If the mainstream political system of the Federal does not change in the future, and if the world order does not change significantly, these people, including their descendants, will forever remain at the bottom of society.

The middle and upper classes of society have already abandoned them in that instant, but they don't know that they will not become the "martyrs" or "warriors" in some people's mouths.

Only occasionally would someone mention the losers in this matter... Lin Qi glanced at the Vice Minister, who was starting to take action; only when people commented on his stupidity would they mention some even more foolish people.

The Vice Minister was ordering them to leave, but those police officers were clearly problematic; they weren't there to maintain order, they were more like... disruptive elements.

No matter how the Vice Minister pleaded with them, even after he revealed his distinguished status, these people still brutally beat the demonstrators in front of numerous guests and the Nagaril diplomatic delegation.

The protesters rolled through the shards of glass, sustaining injuries that looked terrifying. Some timid women screamed and collapsed into the arms of their husbands.

The situation was getting even more out of control, and it was even on the verge of a riot. Suddenly, the Interim Speaker turned to look at Mr. Truman, who naturally knew that he had no choice but to step in.

In fact, Mr. Truman thought we could wait and see if the Vice Minister would make another fool of himself, but it was clear that the Interim Speaker had a different opinion.

"What would you do?" Mr. Truman turned away from the Interim Speaker's gaze and looked at Lin Qi, asking.

Lin Qi took a sip from his glass. The sweetness of champagne was actually more suitable for ladies, but the Vice Minister had requested that low-alcohol drinks be served for this reception. The hotel couldn't possibly serve fruit wine that cost only a few dollars a bottle at such an important banquet, so they could only serve champagne.

After savoring the bursting bubbles and the fragrant aroma in his mouth for a while, he said with a half-smile, "The majesty of a great nation!"

Mr. Truman paused for a moment, then turned to the two agents beside him. "Great power majesty? I like that word..."

He whispered something to the two agents, and Lin Qi stepped aside to avoid suspicion. The two agents exchanged a glance and nodded. One of them raised his arm and waved it a few times. Some agents in the hall who had been ignored by others began to step forward to intervene.

Mr. Truman himself walked toward the Interim Speaker to explain the sudden uproar.

The commotion quickly ended with a gunshot. The Vice Minister minister, his face ashen, glared at Truman. "You actually ordered your men to fire! You'll be held responsible for what happened today!"

A shooting incident during a diplomatic event is a serious offense, even if it is not a formal meeting but just a dinner party.

Mr. Truman ignored him and instead explained to the others, "Ladies and gentlemen, please do not panic, everything is under control..."

His speech was calm and measured, which had a calming effect on people, and they gradually calmed down and looked at him.

"Those people are not Federal citizens, nor are they Federal police officers. They are members of an international Criminal Organization, hired by an international businessman named ' Preton ' to sabotage the establishment of diplomatic relations Bayer Federation and the Nagaril United Kingdom, in order to achieve their horrific goals..."

The people of Nagaril were initially very unhappy and intended to temporarily suspend the diplomatic activities, as the Federal people were clearly hostile towards them.

Now that they've decided to take the first step and reach out to other countries, they won't limit themselves to just one. If the Federal doesn't welcome them, and the people of the Federal don't welcome them, then they'll find one that does. They won't put all their eggs in one basket.

Mr. Truman's words seemed to have a magical power, causing them to change their minds about leaving.

People were watching him, watching what he was going to say.
