Chapter 7190
However, at the White House press conference,
All the media reporters present couldn’t help but gasp in surprise.
The spokesperson continued, “Regarding the suspected treason,”
“I need to first explain something,”
“Because people abroad may not be aware,”
“But those at home should remember that recently our icebreaker encountered a malfunction while transporting a new batch of research team members to Antarctica,”
“Causing the icebreaker to be unable to return,”
“Leaving both the old and new research teams stranded in Antarctica.”
“We notified our country of this at the time.”
“Fortunately, our Antarctic research team has sufficient supplies to support them through the winter.”
“Since then, we have been closely monitoring their situation.”
“Maintaining daily contact to inquire if they have encountered any problems or difficulties there,”
“And their replies have always been that everything is fine.”
At this point, the spokesperson continued, “During this period, our back-end system showed that,”
“Almost all large polar vehicles and equipment had not been activated.”
“These devices were being stored as planned, awaiting the end of winter.”
“However, what we didn’t expect was that two days ago…”
“Suddenly, we received a fuel level signal from our icebreaker, indicating that it had suddenly consumed a large amount of fuel.”
“The signal quickly returned to normal,”
“But our experts determined it wasn’t a false alarm.”
“However, strangely, the backend system showed that none of our vehicles or equipment had been used.”
“Therefore, we requested assistance from the US military to investigate.”
“The investigation revealed that all our heavy vehicles were conducting exploration in Antarctica.”
“And even our helicopters were continuously surveying the continent.”
“These actions were not authorized by us.”
“Based on these individuals’ unauthorized and illegal use of state-owned machinery, equipment, and fuel,”
“We have reason to infer that they have committed actual treason.”
“However, because we lack the technical capability to deploy troops to Antarctica in winter,”
“We requested US military assistance.”
After saying this, the spokesperson stepped off the podium again,
Once more demonstrating his dedication and bowing deeply to the camera.
He then returned to the podium and continued,
“At our request, the U.S. military deployed troops and arrested our research team members suspected of treason.”
“We authorized them to interrogate these team members.”
“Unexpectedly, one of our team leaders admitted to treason.”
“But refused to reveal his true motives for treasonously exploring Antarctica.”
“Out of responsibility to Antarctica and the world, we implored the U.S. military personnel on site to use torture to extract confessions from these team members—the footage you saw in the video.”
“Here, on behalf of all the research team members from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and their families, I apologize to the people of Japan and the world.”
“Although our intentions were good, our actions were indeed very inappropriate.”
“Causing harm to the individuals involved and distress to the general public.”
“We will resolutely prevent such incidents from happening again.”
He then stepped off the podium for the third time,
Once again demonstrating his dedication and craftsmanship.
At this point, the art was complete.
The White House press conference was erupting in cheers and gasps.
The cheers came almost entirely from American media.
The impact of this event was so significant,
And the negative that American media naturally felt deeply ashamed.
But the Japanese press conference had just shifted the blame to the vast majority of the issue,
Meaning that the immense public and international pressure on the United States had instantly lessened by 90%.
The gasps came from foreign media outlets that had been waiting to see what would happen.
Everyone was eager to see how the American spokesperson would respond to the barrage of questions,
Resorting to sophistry and distorting the truth.
However, they hadn’t expected them to employ such a clever, underhanded tactic.
The spokesperson’s expression now held a victorious smile.
Amidst the astonishment of the crowd, she stepped onto the podium, a professional smile on her face, and began,
“I believe everyone has clearly seen the Japanese press conference and is aware of the specifics.”
“Now, we will proceed to our own press conference.”
“Since the Japanese spokesperson has already explained things clearly,”
“We will skip the press conference and go directly to the Q&A session.”
