Book 9: The Rebellious Apostle Chapter 017 For World Peace
Although Emiya looked confused, he reacted quickly and immediately ordered Li Xingke to hold a press conference to refute Britannia's words and stated that his side had never attacked District 11.
After all, Emiya was very sure that he did not leave any evidence last night.
At the press conference, Li Xingke made an impassioned speech, saying that he absolutely had not launched an unethical attack on Britannia, and that the mining area incident had nothing to do with them. This was just a slander and frame-up by Britannia.
If the other side wants a war, they will definitely fight to the last soldier, and even if they are defeated, they will drag Britannia to hell.
At worst we'll die together, who's afraid of who?
This statement immediately frightened the reporters present, and after it was broadcast live, the entire international situation became delicate. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he did not seem to be planning to withdraw.
If Britannia is willing to start a war, the Federation will definitely fight back.
If the two giants go to war, it will definitely change the international situation.
At this moment, the EU suddenly issued a statement, strongly supporting the Federation, denouncing Britannia's tyranny, and expressing its willingness to form an alliance with the Federation to fight against Britannia.
This statement was like a huge meteorite plunging into the sea, causing a magnitude 12 tsunami.
This time, the Britannian Empire was in trouble.
Although it has an absolute upper hand among the three giants, if the Federation really unites with the EU and declares war on them, Britannia will definitely not end up well.
Especially since the Federation has just invented the flying mecha, which is definitely a killer move. As long as it is shared a little with the EU, it can definitely change the war situation in Europe.
By then, Britannia will be attacked from both sides, which will definitely affect the country.
However, just as the crowd was trembling and thinking that a new world war was about to happen, Britannia suddenly threw out a surveillance video.
Surveillance video shows a group of guys in uniforms driving mechas attacking the Mount Fuji mining area.
Britannia announced that this was surveillance video of the night when the Fuji Mining Area was attacked. The organization that attacked the Fuji Mining Area in the video was an organization called the Black Knights in District 11.
However, this organization is just a small resistance organization and has no ability to defeat the defense forces of the mining area, especially since the other party is driving a very advanced machine in the video.
No matter how you look at it, this kind of organism is not something a small resistance organization can possess.
There is no doubt that this is a low-level frame-up.
The mastermind behind this is none other than the Federation.
The appearance of this video immediately caused an uproar internationally. Most people have brains. After all, such an advanced machine could not be developed by a small resistance organization no matter what.
Therefore, many people felt that what Britannia said was correct. It was the Federation that acted unethically and launched a surprise attack on District 11.
The Black Knights and the like are just a scapegoat.
The international situation suddenly turned in Britannia's favor.
However, facing this situation, Emiya calmly asked Li Xingke to hold another press conference. At the press conference, Li Xingke said calmly: "The purpose of holding this press conference is very simple, which is to clarify the video that Britannia said to release and tell everyone that the incident has nothing to do with us."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the reporters showed expressions of disapproval.
A Britannian reporter immediately asked, "I want to ask, the machine used by the Black Knights in the video, could it be that it has nothing to do with your Federation?"
Li Xingke said calmly: "I don't deny this, because the machines used by the Black Knights are indeed produced by our Federation."
The reporter was stunned. He thought Li Xingke would continue to argue, but he didn't expect him to admit it so readily. "Then why do you say it has nothing to do with your Federation?"
Li Xingke said: "It doesn't matter what I said. It was our Black Knights' attack on the mining area of Mount Fuji, not the machine's fault, because we did not let the Black Knights attack the mining area."
"What do you mean?" the reporter asked indignantly, "You don't even want to admit what you did?"
"It wasn't us who did it, but we have to admit it."
"Then how do you explain that your machines ended up in the hands of the Black Knights?"
"It's simple. They bought it."
"What, bought it?" The reporter looked confused.
The other reporters were also excited, thinking that this might be the biggest news of the century, and they rushed to ask questions.
Li Xingke waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet and come one by one.
He casually pointed at a female reporter and said, "You go first."
The female reporter who was named was extremely surprised and asked quickly, "Commander Li Xingke, you just said that the ten machines of the Black Knights were purchased from your Federation. Can you explain it in detail?"
"Of course there is no problem." Li Xingke said expressionlessly: "Not long ago, everyone also knows that our prime minister ordered people to send out a flying mecha, which is the eighth generation of the body, and it caused a sensation around the world."
"At this time, a purchasing officer from District 11 found us. He said he was from Britannia and wanted to spend Sakura Stone to buy the latest flying mecha we had."
"Of course we refused. After all, this is the top secret of our Federation. However, after being rejected, the procurement officer did not give up. Instead, he asked us for the second-best machine, that is, the seventh-generation machine."
"After discussion, we decided to agree to this transaction. After all, Sakura Stone is a strategic resource and no one would have too little."
"So we sold ten mechas to them."
"But I didn't expect that this purchasing officer was actually a fake. He wasn't from Britannia at all, but a member of the Black Knights."
"Originally, I didn't intend to talk about this matter. After all, our Federation was played around by the other party in this transaction. This is not a good thing."
"But we didn't expect that after the Black Knights got these machines, they would actually attack the mining area, causing us to be so passive now."
“So we had to get this out there.”
These words surprised everyone. No one had expected that there were so many inside stories.
However, there are still some people who are unwilling to believe it.
After being called, another reporter stood up and asked, "Commander Li Xingke, do you think it is possible that the Federation could be deceived by a liar?"
Li Xingke continued, "I also think it's absurd, but it really happened. In fact, there have been many liars who have deceived emperors throughout history. I can only say that this is an extremely clever liar. The fact that the other party was able to break into the mining area also proves that the leader of the Black Knights is indeed very powerful. Next."
Another reporter asked: "Commander Li Xingke, after you were deceived by the Black Knights, will you issue a warrant for the arrest of the Black Knights?"
Li Xingke shook his head and said, "Although the other party used a fake identity to deceive us, he did pay a lot of Sakura stones. It was a successful transaction. He just concealed his identity. It was just a deception, not fraud. Therefore, the Federation does not intend to arrest him. Next."
"Commander Li Xingke, you just said that as long as we have Sakura Stone, we can buy seventh-generation machines from the Federation. Do you still plan to sell them now?"
Li Xingke said: "Of course, as long as there is Sakura Stone, we are willing to trade, whether it is the EU, Britannia, or other organizations, or individuals who want it, they can buy it from us. Next."
"Commander Li Xingke, everyone knows that the more advanced the machine is, the more powerful it is. Are you trying to start a war by selling these machines everywhere?"
Li Xingke pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, I have asked our Prime Minister the same question before, but he gave me a different answer. I can let you out here."
He picked up a remote control and pressed a few buttons, and a picture appeared on the screen behind him.
Li Xingke half-knelt on the ground to meet the emperor.
Next to the emperor stood a young man.
"Prime Minister, if we sell seventh-generation machines everywhere, will it cause a huge war?"
Emiya smiled and said, "Li Xingke, why do you think so?"
"Because it's a weapon."
"So what if they are weapons? Even the most powerful weapons are controlled by people. If humans don't have the will to kill, even the most powerful weapons are nothing more than a pile of scrap metal."
Wei Gong said slowly: "Li Xingke, you have to understand one thing. The disputes since ancient times are nothing more than the strong bullying the weak, and the weak bullying the weaker. What we have to do is to make the weak stronger. In this way, the strong who want to bully the weak must think twice."
Li Xingke was speechless.
Emiya continued, "If one day everyone finds out that their strength is about the same, then no one will dare to start a war lightly, because once a war starts, it will inevitably lead to the destruction of both sides."
"At that time, everyone will sit down and have a happy conversation. Even if what they do touches the interests of the other party, they will not suddenly turn hostile, but will use gentler means to achieve their goals."
"For example, diplomacy, or a covert war, but no matter what, it is much better than a large-scale war."
"And this is also my goal, so I want you to sell the seventh generation machine, just to achieve this witness."
"Therefore, you must remember, Li Xingke, we sell weapons not for a bigger war, but for... world peace!!!"
