Chapter 1220: White lie

At 9:45 in the morning federal time, Minister Penzio Empire was at the Penzio Consulate, and Minister Penzio held a press conference to the federal society.

He attacked the stupid decision of the federal government in front of many federal journalists and even journalists from all over the world. He also used "the federal government to obstruct the Penzio Empire from retrieving the missing nobles" as an excuse to make things difficult for Penzio's search and rescue team, and it happened. friction.

   The friction escalated yesterday and evolved into a small-scale battle, which eventually caused the Federation to pay the price of thousands of deaths!

   Then the federal stock market plummeted, and some defense stocks created a terrible disaster that plunged 30% in the morning!

   No way, Minister Penzio is like showing off how weak the federal army is, and he doesn't even have the ability to be an opponent of Penzio's army!

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

   Then some media reported that at least tens of thousands of troops had been mobilized and boarded and departed from the port a few days ago. After the news announced today by Minister Penzio, these news were taken out as a kind of proof.

   Then some more shocking news began to spread around, like the news that the Fifteenth and Seventeenth Army Division was annihilated. In short, they were screaming about this battle.

  Some people can't wait to jump out to make a conclusion on 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 pass halfway!

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

   Because the Minister of the Penzio Empire released a lot of information to put the federal government in a passive state, at 11 o'clock in the morning, the presidential palace held a press conference.

   The press officer acknowledged at the press conference the "friction" between the Federation and the Penzio Empire, and also admitted that the "friction" is rapidly escalating.

   But he said, everything is still under control!

   is just a federal reporter present, an international news reporter, and it is not so easy to be perfunctory.

   Someone stood up and asked a question that the press officer couldn’t answer

   "If the Federation has a dominant position in the battle, why don't you take the lead in revealing the situation, but also trying to conceal it. Can we think that the loss of the Federation is much greater than what you announced?"

  This question...It is actually very unreasonable, it is like "you must conceal and deceive me if you don't tell me".

   Although it is unreasonable, the people believe in this kind of judgment. You do not tell us because the truth is worse than what you said.

   The press officer doesn’t know much about the inside story. He just got a draft, a question and answer, and some core content.

   He didn't know how to answer this question, and when he was about to show the expression "I **** don't know, you might be right", Mr. Truman turned on the microphone.

   "In fact, the Penzio Army we annihilated has lost much more than we have lost, and the reason why we are unwilling to disclose these data to the society is that we are unwilling to let the friction continue to escalate!"

   In one sentence, everyone's attention was shifted to Mr. Truman.

   He lowered his head, looking at a piece of data, and then read out the contents of the document, "...As of 18 o'clock in the evening on the day of x month, at least two thousand enemies will be eliminated in battle..."

   "...As of 18 o'clock in the evening of x month x, about 3,500 enemies will be eliminated in battle......"

He raised his head as he said, and at the same time raised the material in his hand and waved it, then put it back, "This material that shouldn't have been disclosed to you tells us that in three days we have wiped out about 8,000 enemies! "

   At this time, a reporter stood up immediately. The press officer looked at Mr. Truman, meaning "Do you want this **** **** to ask questions" and "Do you want to kick him out?" Mr. Truman shook his head slightly.

   This news is too "smashing". Now I don't answer their questions. They will definitely make up their own in order to seek the audience's attention and the so-called "first news time".

   Some people, especially some people in the Federation, always hope that the federal government will be unlucky. These people have always had problems with their thinking.

   Instead of letting them write about the specifics of the battle indiscriminately according to their own ideas, inverting right and wrong and black and white, it is better to release some official news.

Mr. Truman’s hand is holding a red pen and is tracing a box in the upper left corner of a piece of white paper. Yes, there is not a word on the document he just held up, or the document he was looking at. It's just a blank sheet of paper.

   But he must do this. This is not a deception, but a strategy.

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

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

   "Mr. Truman, if we have achieved amazing results in battle, why should we send at least 50,000 to 60,000 more soldiers to Nagalil?"

   You stand in front of a group of people. If there are only a few people in this group, you can see through it at a glance.

   If there are more than a dozen people here, you may want to count them.

   If there are dozens of people here, you can only guess roughly.

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

   If there are thousands of people standing together, the first impression of a person is one or two thousand.

   On the issue of "counting people", people always subconsciously compress their cognition, which is caused by people's ignorance.

   There are actually 100,000 armies rushing to Nagalil, but it is impossible for people to count them clearly. They only think that it is fifty to sixty thousand.

This question is also very critical, but Mr. Truman has already had a psychological plan, and he answered quickly, "Because we are not willing to let the friction heat up, we still maintain our sanity, but we must prevent our opponents from losing their sanity. , Do some terrible things."

   "They went to Nagalil not to make up for the losses after the previous battle, but to prevent the outbreak of a larger battle."

   "We promise here that we will try our best not to spread the scope of the battle and prevent the battle from escalating, but if the Penzio Empire tries to challenge our bottom line, we don't recommend going to war with them at this time!"

   The flashing light became more intense, and some people stood up and asked Mr. Truman. Among the many questions, the most common question was "Do you mean that you are declaring war on the Penzio Empire?"

   The conference room is completely boiling. If the Federation declares war on the Penzio Empire, then it is very likely that World War II will break out!

   You must know that the World Development Commission hasn't been long since its establishment. If large-scale military operations are to be held now, it must be 24 countries together. This is not a world war, so what is a world war?

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

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

   As he said, he packed up his things, got up and left, wondering if he went too in a hurry. The corner of the file was exposed outside the folder, with the sign of “Top Secret” printed in bright red.

   This scene was filmed by many reporters. In the supplement or supplement issued in the afternoon, this photo with the top of the “top secret” document was quoted to increase the authenticity.

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

  At the same time, the first bombing squadron began to take off. A total of 13 aircraft flew toward the predetermined location. Ten minutes later, the second squadron took off, and then the third squadron...

   There are a total of 104 aircraft in eight formations, loaded with 208 cluster bombs, and tens of thousands of small fragment bombs will explode within the bombing range, no matter where they hide.

   In the woods, on the tidal flats, and even in the river, these bombings cannot be completely avoided, and they are continuous bombings!

   When the plane just flew over the designated place, suddenly the "tongtongtong" sound of machine guns rang out in the woods, dull and full of power!

  A number of mechanical shells were shot into the air, and a bomber was hit in the fuselage before it could drop the bomb ~lightnovelpub.net~.

   The bomber started to "bow his head" with smoke, and the pilot desperately and angrily wanted to lift, but obviously there was a problem with the transmission, and he could not control the aircraft's lift.

   In the final despair, he opened the bomb bay and threw both cluster bombs out in one go!

   With a huge flame rising, the first plane crashed.

   "Pull up, fast, lift up!"

   There are panic orders in radio communication. The Penzio people know that the Federation has an absolute advantage on the plane, so they are equipped with a lot of anti-aircraft guns.

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

   Because of the occlusion of the tree canopy, the pilot couldn't catch the anti-aircraft guns at all, and could only bombard a little earlier.

   One after another planes crashed, and at the same time a feast of explosions and blood began with the throwing of cluster bombs!

  The falling plane will burst into flames, and along with the bombing like an earthquake, the dense forest will be destroyed in patches!

  The bombing lasted more than three hours. Except for the cluster bombs used at the beginning, the subsequent use was ordinary aerial bombs.

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

   After all, when Lynch and the Department of Defense check out, they count the money based on the number of takeoffs and the number of bombs thrown. If you keep the plane parked at the airport, you won't make much money!
