Will Be Great

Everything had two sides.

For example, a crowd might wave their arms and cheer for the Presidential Palace's decision, believing it was the Federal Government's finest moment in history.

Meanwhile, others might sit in their rooms, frowning worriedly at the clear sky outside. They felt this was no good thing at all. What if this action triggered another war that destroyed the world?

If some people liked it, there would definitely be others who did not. That was perfectly normal.

If everyone liked it, then someone was certainly pretending to.

The Federal International Affairs Department's press conference began on time. Whether they liked Minister Truman and his international policies or not, everyone had come here to hear what he had to say.

There was no long table at the press conference, only a projection screen and a podium. Minister Truman stood behind the podium.

He was looking over some documents and drafts when his assistant told him the time had come. He gathered up the materials and looked toward the press conference hall.

It was packed. The reporters in front held notebooks and pens, with a few unregistered diplomats—spies, in other words—hidden among them. Behind them were rows of cameras and video cameras.

Ever since the Federal Government's standing in the International Community had continued to rise, every Federal Government-level press conference had been packed. Every country wanted first-hand information, hoping to determine whether the news was valuable, worthless, or even harmful to them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm very glad you could all come here. Regarding the discussions and opinions circulating in society, I will give a unified answer today."

"I know some people think our actions have been too forceful, but I want you to understand this: the Federation never uses force first unless our interests have been harmed."
