"… We're going to make history!"
Under the crazy flashing lights, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the representative of the Nagalil delegation exchanged letters of credence under the witness of many reporters and media.
Establishing diplomatic relations was both simple and not simple. The impetus of the times made this moment full of a sense of history and a sense of mission.
When this news was announced, the Minister of Foreign Affairs also said that a delegation would be sent to examine some of the social structures and environment of the United Kingdom of Nagalil. This was to help the United Kingdom of Nagalil get rid of the current backward production capacity as soon as possible so that they could catch up with the developed countries in the world.
For this reason, the Minister of Foreign Affairs also specially announced that there would be a large number of Federation people getting job opportunities in the United Kingdom of Nagalil. From the most ordinary workers to skilled workers, there would be suitable jobs for them.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs also specifically pointed out that this was what the President fought for.
With the content announced at this press conference, in less than ten minutes, the Bailey Federation Industrial Index showed the biggest increase of the year, and various powerful stocks also showed different degrees of growth.
The entire Federation seemed to be cheered up by this simple diplomatic act. The people who were marching on the streets also disappeared. Instead, people gathered together to discuss what was about to happen.
Even the movie that Fox Pictures began to release on a large scale became the darling of the people.
People were eager to understand what kind of country Nagalil was and what kind of customs it had through this movie.
But they would be disappointed, because the movie was shot in the Federation.
Not just the movie, but anything related to Nagalil began to quietly sell, including "The Adventures of Lynch", which was originally on the list of best-selling books.
On the night of the press conference, the publishing house received many calls and decided to publish a second time, and the number was astonishing …
In the evening, Mr. Trumann, some diplomats who participated in the negotiations, and the President's personal staff all appeared on a political talk show with the highest ratings.
The host very considerately brought up some of the issues that people were very concerned about, such as the possibility of people working in Nagalil. The group of people gave very positive and very positive answers, which completely ignited the emotions of the people at the bottom of society.
"Go to Nagalil" quickly became a catchphrase, an attitude, and an action!
The Federation's largest ferry company urgently added more than a dozen cruises to Najalil and arranged to transport those who were looking for opportunities.
In just one day, the entire Federation displayed something that had been absent for a long time. A kind of high fighting spirit was slowly growing.
On the same day, something big happened on the other side of the strait!
It was past eleven o 'clock at night, and the sky was completely dark.
The governor of Ameria was still unable to sleep. He had been mentally and physically exhausted for the past week.
In order to prevent the rebels from giving the people the wrong idea that "even if we make mistakes, we will not be severely punished" or "if we can hide, we can escape punishment", the Governor changed from his former amiability to the cruel dictator that the people spoke of.
People no longer said how easy-going he was, no longer said that he was as kind to the people of this area as he was to his own children, because no one would kill their own children by the truckload and burn them.
Every day, the whole city emitted a strong stench. The blood that splashed on the road, seeped into the cracks of the bricks, and seeped into the soil began to smell fishy. The ground was always black and could not be washed clean. The air was stinky, and the people had become numb.
At first, people were sensitive to the sudden burst of gunfire, shocked, and frightened, but now they were numb.
The unprecedented high-pressure situation made no one dare to disobey the Governor's orders, except for the rebel groups.
But even so, the Governor was still worried.
Since the copper mine attack, the rebel groups showed a completely different change. They began to arm themselves.
Yes, arm themselves with modern and advanced weapons.
Before this, the Governor knew that there were many rebel groups in this area, but they had no weapons, no money, and no supplies. They posed no threat to the Guevra's rule. Calling them a rebel group was an insult to the term.
But now it was different. More and more rebel groups were able to take out guns, and they even caused two explosions, blowing up a patrol car and a guard box. This was a very dangerous signal.
Someone was sponsoring these rebel groups, and even the Governor knew who it was. It was none other than the foreigners who stayed in Ameria.
In the Ruler's Hall, the Guevra Emperor and his ministers had the same thought. It was definitely not the aid of the defeated country. They wanted to develop peacefully, so it had to be the foreigners.
The Governor wanted to order the expulsion of these foreigners, but he couldn't do it. There were too many foreigners here, and if he was not careful, it would cause a terrible diplomatic conflict. He could only watch as they pretended not to know anything and continued to cause trouble.
For the past week, he had been suffering from insomnia almost every day. He had to wait until two o 'clock in the evening and drink a little hard liquor before he could fall asleep. Moreover, he didn't sleep well, and he was easily awakened.
At this time, he was sitting in the dark study, one hand supporting his chin. He tilted his head and looked at the moonlight outside the window. The quiet night was no longer as beautiful as it used to be. Instead, there was a trace of eeriness and gloominess.
Just as he was in a trance, a huge flame wave suddenly rose in the distance, followed by a violent explosion. Then, the glass window suddenly shattered into pieces in front of his eyes.
The next second, the phone rang. He picked up the phone, and his face was as gloomy as the night, dark and gloomy.
"Governor, the power station was attacked by a bomb just now. The main power unit has all stopped working …"
The person who reported was a major in charge of the night patrol. The Governor was silent for three to five seconds. "The phone is still connected!"
He wasn't talking nonsense. In this era, the power supply for the phone was still provided by the local area. In other words, the specific function of the phone required the use of wires.
If there was a power outage, the phone would immediately lose its function. The Governor meant that the phone between them was still connected, which meant that there was not a complete power outage.
"We've now activated the backup unit. The power generation is very limited, so we can only prioritize the supply of some important facilities. The governor's office is on the list of guaranteed power supplies."
The major explained that the biggest power unit that was bombed had two small, temporary backup units that could be used.
The Governor asked, "When can it be repaired?"
The phone suddenly fell silent. There was no sound at all, only the sound of breathing.
About seven to eight seconds later, the major's voice came from the receiver. "I'm sorry, Governor …"
Needless to say, they couldn't repair it. The power plant of the provincial capital was bombed, and this had an extremely bad impact on Gaffra's rule. The Governor's voice became as cold as ice, and there was a trace of palpitating coldness. "Did you catch the person?"
There was still silence. The Governor directly hung up the phone. A bunch of good-for-nothings.
However, the phone rang again. He looked at the phone, and there was anger in his eyes. After a few rings, he finally picked it up. "It's me."
"Governor, the No. 11 mine was attacked …"
With a bang, the phone was slammed to the ground by the Governor.
That night, the sudden explosion and the sound of the police whistle echoed throughout the city. All the soldiers were mobilized, and they searched house to house. The Governor's purpose was very simple. He wanted to find those who were not at home in the middle of the night. Those who were not at home in the middle of the night must be members of the resistance organization.
Regardless of whether his idea was effective or not, and whether he could catch any members of the resistance organization, just the explosion of the power plant and the destruction of the copper mine had cast a shadow over Gaffra's rule in the Amelia region.
They thought that a year had passed peacefully, and the change in power had begun to be accepted by the people. Who would have thought that the situation would become so bad in an instant?
Early the next morning, the Gaffra Emperor was alarmed by these two pieces of news. In the ruling hall, he roared angrily like a middle-aged man who had begun to doubt his own ability. It was said that his roar could be heard throughout the capital.
This also led to another matter. The Victorious Princess and six other frigates left the military port of Guevra. They were prepared to cross the Epril Strait and directly approach the Amelia region. They wanted to intimidate the countries and forces in the region.
At the same time, the Gaffra Empire's military headquarters sent a message to the fleet that was heading to the outer seas of Najjar, asking them to speed up and meet the Federation's navy as soon as possible.
After defeating the Federation's navy, they would directly go south to meet up with the Victorious Princess and prepare to be stationed in the Scimitar Bay in the Amelia region for a long time.
After receiving the military's request, the Gaffra Empire's navy began to speed up and replan their route. The commander of this naval battle even sent a strategic warship and three destroyers to leave the fleet and head to the Amelia region first.
According to the internal opinion of the military, the unrest in the Amelia region was very likely to escalate because of the two retaliatory attacks by the resistance organization. Therefore, it was necessary to implement military deterrence in the region as soon as possible.
In this era, there was no more effective military deterrence than cannons. They didn't even think that it was dangerous.
After all, what they had to face was only the Federation's navy. Other than catching smugglers near the coastline, the Federation's navy had not carried out any cross-regional military operations.
A bunch of rookies!
