When Penny heard Chance's remark, a sense of pride rose within her, and she was proud of her husband.
As she promptly recalled that Nathan was presently leading the Southern Fleet against the country’s enemies on national waters, worry inexorably stained her face.
At that moment, she only hoped that he would return safety as soon as possible.
On that very day, Eurasia's President, Garrett, gave a speech to the whole world.
He named Ariarica directly, warning them not to challenge Eurasia's determination to defend its homeland, and emphasized that Ariarica was playing with fire.
At almost the same time, Gammon from Remdik also held a press conference for the very first time in Remdik.
His motive in doing so was the same as Garrett—warning the countries allying themselves with Ariarica not to play with fire, lest they burned themselves.
Moreover, his words were even harsher and more biting. He warned
bluntly, “Don't play with fire, Ariarica and lackeys! Do you know that you're attempting to start another world war? There's no victor in war! And even if there is, it won't be you!”
Garrett and Gammon's speeches that were delivered at the same time were then broadcasted all over the world on that very day.
Although neither Eurasia nor Remdik mentioned a military alliance, the fact that both countries joined hands to conduct a military exercise and made a targeted speech at the same time made it clear that they were very close and stood together.
Under the overwhelming pressure, Ariarica finally ordered Max to lead the carrier battle group away.
Max, who received that order from the higher-ups, was infuriated.
