Chapter 1220 White Lies
At 45:[-] a.m. federal time, Minister Penteo Imperial was in the Penteo Consulate, and Minister Penteo held a press conference to the federal society.

In front of many federal reporters and even world reporters, he attacked the stupid decision of the federal government, and made things difficult for Penteio's search and rescue team on the grounds that "the federal government obstructed the Penteio Empire from recovering the missing nobleman", and something 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 even created a terrible disaster that plummeted 30.00% in the morning!
There is no way, Minister Peng Jieao seems to be showing off how weak the Federation's army is, and it doesn't even have the ability to be the opponent of Peng Jieao's army!
People will not believe that Minister Penteeau is lying, and there is no room for lying in this kind of international incident. It will only become a scandal of a person's life, and a scandal of a country!

Later, some media reported that at least tens of thousands of troops were mobilized and boarded ships to leave the port a few days ago. After the news announced today by Minister Peng Jieao, these news were used as evidence.

Immediately afterwards, some more appalling news began to spread, such as the news that the No.15 and No.17 Army Divisions were wiped out. In short, they all bad-mouthed this battle.

Some people couldn't wait to jump out to make a conclusion for this military action, and they even pointed the finger at Mr. President!

Yes, many people may not realize that the term of Mr. President is about to pass halfway!

In other words, there is still a year and a half to go until the general election begins...

Since the Minister of the Penteio Empire announced a lot of information, the federal government was passive. At [-] o'clock in the morning, the Presidential Palace held a press conference.

At the press conference, the press officer acknowledged the "friction" between the Federation and the Penteio Empire, and also admitted that the "friction" was rapidly escalating.

But he said everything is still under control!

It's just that the federal reporters and international journalists present are not so easy to be perfunctory.

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

"If the federal people have an advantage in the battle, why didn't you announce the situation first, and tried to hide it? Can we think that the loss of the federation is much greater than what you announced?"

This question...it's actually very unreasonable, it's as unreasonable as "you must hide/deceive me if you don't tell me".

Although it is unreasonable, the people believe in this judgment. If you don't tell us, it is because the real situation is worse than what you said.

In fact, the press officer didn'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 the question, and just as he was on the verge of that "I don't know, you might be right" look, Mr. Truman turned on the microphone.

"Actually, we have wiped out much more Penteo's army than we have lost, and the reason why we are unwilling to release these data to the public is that we are unwilling to let the friction continue to escalate!"

In a word, everyone's attention was shifted to Mr. Truman.

With his head down, he was looking at a piece of data, and then read out the contents of the document, "...as of [-] o'clock in the evening on x month x, about [-] enemies will be eliminated in battle..."

"...As of [-]:[-] p.m. on x, x, no less than [-] enemies will be eliminated in the battle..."

As he spoke, he raised his head, waved the material in his hand, and put it back again, "The material that should not have been disclosed to you told us that we wiped out about [-] enemies in three days! "

At this moment, a reporter stood up immediately, and the press officer looked at Mr. Truman, meaning "do you want this damn bastard to ask questions" and "do you want to kick him out?" Mr. Truman shook his head slightly.

This news is too "explosive". If we don't answer their questions now, they will definitely make up their own random news in order to gain 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 have bad luck. These people have always had problematic thinking.

Instead of letting them write up the specifics of that battle according to their own ideas, and confuse right and wrong with black and white, it is better to release some official news.

With a red pen in his hand, Mr. Truman was tracing a box on the upper left corner of a piece of white paper. Yes, the document he just lifted up, or the document he was looking at, did not contain a single word. It's just a blank sheet of paper.

But he has to do it, it's not a deception, it's a tactic.

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

Generally, a top-secret document would consist of a "box" and a single word "top-secret." He looked at the reporter standing up calmly.

"Mr. Truman, if we have achieved amazing results in battle, why are we sending at least [-] to [-] additional soldiers to Nagalil?"

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

If there are a dozen people here, you might want to count them.

If there are dozens of people here, you can only make a rough guess.

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

If there are thousands of people standing together, people's first impression is that there are 2000 people.

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

In fact, 6 troops rushed to Nagalil one after another, but it is impossible for people to count them. They only think that it is [-] or [-].

This question is also very critical, but Mr. Truman has long had a psychological plan, and he answered quickly, "Because we don't want to let the friction heat up, we still maintain our sanity, but we must prevent our opponents from losing their sanity , do something horrible."

"They went to Nagalil not to make up for the losses after the previous fighting, but to prevent a larger-scale fighting from breaking out."

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

The flashing lights became more intense, and people stood up and asked Mr. Truman. Among the many questions, the most common one was "Do you mean to declare war on the Penteio Empire?"

The conference room is completely boiling. If the Federation declares war on the Penteio Empire, then it is very likely that the Second World War will break out!
You must know that the World Development Committee has not been established for a long time. If a large-scale military operation is held now, 24 countries must join together. This is not a world war, so what is a world war?
Finally, Mr. Truman raised his hand and pressed falsely, stood up and replied, "This is not a declaration of war, but a warning, a warning to our opponents!"

"The Federation has never been afraid of war. If you want to fight over, you must be prepared for an all-out war!"

As he said, he packed up his things, got up and left, wondering if he left too hastily, a corner of the document was exposed outside the file folder, and a "Top Secret" signature was printed on it in bright red.

This scene was photographed by many reporters. In the supplement or supplement issued in the afternoon, the photo with the "top secret" document header was quoted more to increase the authenticity.

After returning to the office, Mr. Truman sat on the chair, he was waiting for a news, a good news from the front!
At the same time, the first bombing squadron began to take off, and a total of thirteen planes flew towards the predetermined location. After 10 minutes, the second squadron took off, and then the third squadron...

A total of [-] aircraft in eight formations, loaded with [-] cluster bombs, tens of thousands of small fragmentation bombs will explode within the bombing range, no matter where they hide.

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

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

Machine cannonballs shot into the air one after another, and a bomber was hit on the fuselage before it had time to drop a bomb.

The bomber began to "bow its head" with smoke, and the pilot desperately and angrily wanted to pull up, but obviously there was a problem with the transmission, and he could not control the plane's ascent and descent.

In the last desperation, he opened the bomb chamber and threw both cluster bombs out in one go!

With a huge flame rising, the first plane fell.

"Pull up, fast, pull up!"

The radio communication was full of frightening orders. The Penteo people knew that the Federation had an absolute advantage in the aircraft, so they equipped 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 canopy, the pilots couldn't catch where the anti-aircraft guns were, so they could only bomb a little in advance.

Planes crashed one after another, and at the same time, a feast of explosions and blood began with the dropping of cluster bombs!
The falling plane will burst into flames, accompanied by bombing like an earthquake, and the dense forest will be destroyed in pieces!
The bombing lasted for more than three hours. Except for the cluster bombs used at the beginning, ordinary aerial bombs were used later.

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

After all, when Lynch and the Ministry of National Defense settled the bill, they calculated the money according to the number of sorties taken off and the number of bombs dropped. If the plane was kept parked at the airport, it would not make much money!
