“I’m sorry, Mr. President. We didn’t that Jasper to sacrifice all of Harbor City and crash the subprime market at once. We will immediately discuss this and come up with a solution.”
“If it were not for the emergency, I would tell you to resign and leave immediately, but Mr. Hamilton, I hope you can understand that both my and the people’s patience is limited. If you still can’t stop the current situation from deteriorating, then you shouldn’t be sitting in that chair,”
On the other end of the phone, Hamilton’s eyelids twitched as he felt the anger of the president. It felt like a volcano that was about to erupt.
He took a deep breath and said, “Mr. President, according to the information provided by the intelligence agency, not only did funds belonging to Somerland’s SBS Bank participate in this attack, but when the 200 billion US Dollar suicide attack just happened, 50 billion US Dollars were contributed by the Harbor City government.
“In this regard, we must ask Somerland t
o immediately divest and pay
compensation, otherwise, we will put
pressure on it in from all directions.”
The president on the other end of the
phone gritted his teeth and said coldly, “D
o you think I didn’t expect this? I asked to
see the ambassador in Somerland before
calling you, but their embassy told me
that the ambassador has gone to Hawaii
for vacation!
“Damn those Somerland punks, they are
despicable to the bone! They actually used
such shoddy means to prevaricate me.
They are not respecting our country at
all!”
Hamilton sighed deeply when he heard
that. He said, “If necessary, please use the
special telephone line with the highest
authority in Somerland. Once the
Somerland government participates in
this matter, it is likely to become a
financial war between the east and the
west.”
“Even the ambassador has gone to Hawaii
for vacation. Do you think their highest
authority will succumb to us as before?
“Mr. Hamilton now is not the time for you to tell me how to do handle my affairs. I a m asking you to save the current situation!
“The government’s attitude is the final expression of the will of the state. At that time, if we and the Somerland government have a fall-out, then it will cause unpredictable consequences. These Somerland people will not sign any treaties surrendering their territory under humiliating terms like a hundred years ago anymore.
