Chapter 7189
At this moment, the White House spokesperson felt not only relaxed but also very pleased.
She knew very well that through her efforts,
The potential negative impact of this incident had been minimized.
Preparing for crisis communication in such a short time,
And achieving such a favorable outcome was a classic case study in White House crisis management.
All of this was thanks to her composure under pressure,
Her quick reaction and her sound strategy.
She believed that after this incident,
Her presence in the White House would reach a new peak.
So, with only ten seconds left in the scheduled press conference,
She confidently walked into the press room with a smile on her face.
The room was instantly illuminated by a barrage of flashes,
The shutters are clicking incessantly.
Facing the countless flashes, the spokesperson showed no discomfort or tension,
But instead smiled throughout as she approached the podium and began,
“I apologize for keeping you all waiting.”
“Before we begin today’s press conference,”
“I would like to apologize for the delay.”
“Our press conference will be twenty minutes later than scheduled.”
A murmur of surprise rippled through the room.
Everyone was waiting for her to provide an explanation to the world regarding the incident in Antarctica.
They had assumed that the White House would quickly release this major news story after holding a press conference so soon.
However, the press conference was suddenly postponed.
The spokesperson then announced, “The reason for the postponement is that in 10 minutes,”
“Japan will be holding an emergency press conference in their country before ours.”
“So, if you want to know about the situation in Antarctica,”
“Please wait until they finish their press conference.”
“Our large screen will broadcast it live,”
“So don’t worry.”
“In 10 minutes, I will be watching the press conference with you.”
The room erupted in disbelief.
They hadn’t received any notification from the Japanese side about the upcoming press conference.
This was mainly because the Japanese side knew that taking the blame for something like this was unseemly,
So they were rushing to hold a press conference as quickly as possible,
Ideally, without any reporters.
They wanted to simply explain the situation to the cameras and then end the session quickly,
Avoiding a potentially embarrassing Q&A session where someone might ask something embarrassing.
Because the other party involved in this matter is the Japanese scientific expedition team,
Everyone is eager to know how the Japanese government will respond.
So, everyone patiently awaited the Japanese press conference.
Ten minutes passed quickly.
The large screen switched to footage from the Japanese press conference.
Interestingly, Japan hadn’t invited any media,
Only one person was present in the entire hall—their spokesperson.
He looked slightly out of place,
He adjusted his glasses, took a deep breath, and then stepped onto the stage.
Once on stage, he spoke his first words:
“First, please allow me, on behalf of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, to express my apologies to the people of the world.”
“We are very sorry that our actions have caused trouble and confusion for people around the world.”
After speaking, he stepped off the stage and bowed deeply towards the cameras.
It must be said that their dedication to apology is truly extraordinary.
His head was almost level with his knees.
After several seconds, he stood up,
Adjusted his glasses again, returned to the stage, and solemnly began:
“First, I want to inform everyone of something.”
“Our research team stationed in Antarctica has recently been suspected of collectively betraying the country.”
There was no audience at the Japanese press conference,
So his remarks didn’t elicit any immediate response.
