My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1757

"How could he be so bold? Isn't the mushroom cloud banned globally? Also, hasn't Nashaland always had a powerful military? There's no need for him to risk developing the mushroom cloud!"

Matthew's voice was grim. "Selina, have you heard of Sarcus?"

Selina replied, "Yes, of course. It's the country that was invaded by a stronger nation in order to get to their natural oil resources, right? I heard that their people are still suffering to this day."

Matthew explained, "I think that's the reason Tremaine initiated Plan X. He wants to avoid Nashaland from ending up like Sarcus."

Selina found it hard to believe. "That's impossible. Isn't Nashaland's military one of the most powerful in the world?"

"I've heard that Nashaland's military force isn't as strong as the rumours say it is, and with Tremaine having launched Plan X, that gives those rumours some credibility. Restoring Nashaland's military might is too time-consuming, and developing the mushroom cloud is the fastest, most efficient way for them to protect themselves because they already have some knowledge on this..."

Selina was stunned to hear this.

She could not understand what Matthew was talking about.

All she could gather from him was that Tremaine had acted much too rashly!

He had only just become the president!

It was also rumoured that his family was so weak that they could not provide him with the support he needed. Yet he had acted so boldly!

"He's much too bold and vicious!" Selina could not help muttering.

"You're right. The Quartley family's unable to give him any support, yet he's still able to become the president. That's more than enough to prove how vicious he can be. He probably made his way to the presidential office by stepping on countless dead bodies."

Selina was shocked. "Then there's no way we can allow Yesseca to be with him! She can't be with someone so vicious."

Matthew did not agree with that.

He said, "Selina, sometimes the more vicious a person is, the more loyal they could be to their other half. It's much too unfair for you to just decide on things like that."

This made Selina unhappy.

She raised her voice. "Why does it sound like you're defending Tremaine?"

"I'm not, I'm just being objective."

"No, I think you're defending Tremaine!"

Matthew sighed.

However, his number one principle in life was that his wife was always right. If ever there was a time that she was wrong, he would have to remember principle number one.

Therefore, Matthew corrected himself. "You're right, Yesseca cannot be with such a person."

Selina was satisfied with that. "Yesseca and Kyi in are perfect for each other. I need to make sure they pick up the pace so that things between Yesseca and Tremaine end for good!"

In Nashaland.

Tremaine and his ten cabinet members were still having a meeting.

Tremaine made himself very clear.

Plan X was to proceed as planned without delay, especially at such a critical moment.

Especially at a critical time like this.

Since word had gotten out about them developing the mushroom cloud, it was indirectly proving that their military was not as powerful as before. It was highly likely that other nations would take the opportunity to pull something off!

"It's a dog-eat-dog world. With Nashaland's rich natural oil reserves, if we don't become stronger, we won't be able to keep other nations at bay and we'll be taken over in no time! Plan X has to go on!" Tremaine said.

One of the members objected to this.

"Several other countries have now threatened to sue us, though. Even if they don't actually follow through with their threats, we wouldn't be able to bear the pressure from so many countries."
