CHAPTER 1095: CHAPTER 582: SEA COLLAPSE (PART 3)

Harmon braced himself and said these words.

Jesmin slammed the table, angrily: "Is this the answer your military is giving me? Two aircraft carriers and their accompanying warships just buried in the sea like that? How do you expect me to explain this to our citizens? Do you think the public will accept your answer?"

Knowing it was a command mistake, why not ensure accurate intelligence before launching missiles at Penglai Fairy Island? With your impoverished and foolish minds, recklessly firing missiles, what do you think Penglai Fairy Island is? A small country we used to bully?"

"It’s an island left behind by an ancient civilization. Your military is bold enough to launch missiles freely, and now I, as the President, have to clean up your mess, using warships built from the hard-earned tax money of our citizens to bail you out."

Jesmin roared continuously, the spit even spraying onto Harmon’s face, the entire person looking like an angry lion.

Reviewing the presidents in the history of the Beautiful Country, Jesmin’s record of losing two aircraft carriers during his term is a stain that can never be washed away.

"Your Excellency, I am truly sorry, it was our military’s mishandling."

Harmon was left speechless, because the military also maintained a supporting attitude on the operation to land on Penglai Fairy Island, actively promoting military actions on the island.

Aside from the backing from the financial oligarchs, the military itself was also coveting the various ancient transcendent weapons that appeared on Penglai Fairy Island.

In the plan of the Beautiful Country’s military, if they could acquire those transcendent weapons, like the terrifying ancient sword stuck in the willow tree that Olvera and others personally witnessed, its Sword Qi moved with the wind, cutting people and the earth into pieces.

If they could obtain these weapons and decipher their secrets to produce them as standard equipment for their soldiers, by then they would dominate Blue Star. Who could stop them?

Unfortunately, this perfect plan was messed up by them. Not only did they fail to acquire weapons with extraordinary power, but they also lost two aircraft carriers, trying to steal a chicken and losing the rice used to lure it.

If Su Jie were here to learn of the Beautiful Country’s bold plan, he would laugh his head off.

Producing millions of magic artifacts as standard equipment for ordinary soldiers, even if they were all Low Grade Magic Tools, would still directly bankrupt all sects within the Da Li Dynasty.

"Is this a problem that can be solved by saying mishandling?"

Jesmin snorted coldly, his gaze sharp, planning to make an example by punishing someone as a warning to others.

Harmon’s face turned pale, he was silent for a few seconds, finally speaking in a defeated tone: "Your Excellency, tomorrow I will announce my resignation to take responsibility."

Someone had to be responsible for this incident, and Harmon was undoubtedly the best candidate.

Bam!

Just as the President’s office fell into a deadlock, the door was pushed open and CIA Director Judith rushed in.

This usually calm CIA Director showed some nervousness on his face, shouting as soon as he saw them: "Your Excellency, the Jieke Group is carrying out military actions in Japan’s Sea Domain. They are likely to take advantage of the current military gap in that sea area to make a move on Japan."

"What?"

Jesmin was shocked, the Beautiful Country had already suffered heavy losses, and now the Jieke Group was adding insult to injury.

"Jieke Group, you are too much!"

Jesmin gritted his teeth, looking once again at Harmon, the Minister of Defense, and ordered: "Harmon, organize a military meeting immediately, we cannot let Jieke Group succeed."

Harmon: "..."

This Minister of Defense, who was almost replaced, looked at Jesmin with a complex expression. A moment ago, he was about to be removed, and now he was to be reinstated, was this another attempt to let him take the fall again?

Jesmin had no choice, given the current chaotic situation in the Beautiful Country, if Harmon was dismissed, it is likely no one below would be willing to step up and take the position. After all, now facing the Jieke Group, this once-coveted position of Minister of Defense had undoubtedly become a hot potato.

"I’ll go prepare right away."

Harmon sighed, knowing he had no retreat path, while mentally clinging to a glimmer of hope.

If he could perform outstandingly in the confrontation against Jieke Group, maybe he could redeem himself, preserve the position he was in.
