Miss President wants to talk to you

But Rosef ignored her.

She was not finished speaking.

But the reporters persisted, with one shouting directly, "Madam President, are you trying to protect the FBI?!"

This statement can be described as a scathing attack on the heart.

The reporter who shouted was immediately escorted out.

Rosef ignored all of this and remained extremely calm.

On the surface, he seemed confident and in control.

In reality, she was completely out of options.

As instructed by Louise and Eleanor, she only needed to go on stage and read her speech; the subsequent answers to reporters' questions would be handled by someone else.

But it didn't mention that someone would cause trouble at the scene.

"Help! Help! Help!"

Rosef glanced in the direction of Eleanor in the audience, as if seeking help.

What should we do about Eleanor?

Then she saw Eleanor nod at her.

Don't worry.

Eleanor mouthed, "Continue!"

Is it okay to just continue?

Rosef lowered her head and began to read her speech.

"Not long ago, we received intelligence that a spy organization was carrying out illegal activities within the Federation, and the location of these activities was..."

St. Joseph's Cathedral!

boom

It exploded like a magic grenade among the reporters.

A buzz of discussion immediately erupted in the room.

"What is the president saying?"

"Espionage?"

"So, the Bureau of Investigation is investigating spies?!"

This news was so explosive that countless reporters immediately raised their hands.

The president's remarks are so subversive that, if true, they will completely reverse public opinion.

Meanwhile, Edgar was dumbfounded.

Investigating spies?

me?

How come I didn't even know?

She suddenly raised her head and looked at Eleanor not far away.

Edgar knew very well that the president's speech was written by Eleanor himself.

I was standing to the side at the time, watching Eleanor finish writing, and even guessing what he had written.

But no matter how Edgar speculated at the time, he never imagined that Eleanor would dare to make such a connection to espionage!

If it's arms smuggling, then it can be said to be the work of a private group.

But if it's espionage, then it needs to be addressed at the national level!

The Rhine Empire will certainly react, perhaps even with a diplomatic protest.

Is Eleanor really going to go this far?

However, for some reason, Edgar suddenly felt a little moved.

Eleanor was willing to take such a risk in order to save the Bureau of Investigation.

At this point, the reporters no longer cared about the speaking session.

They started shouting.

"Madam President, are you willing to take responsibility for your words?"

"You say there is espionage activity within the Federation. Do you have any evidence?"

"Which country's spy is it?"

Rosef continued to ignore the reporters in the audience.

Because I don't know how to deal with it.

So he could only lower his head and continue reading his speech.

Fortunately, what she said next addressed these questions.

"Over the past few hours, our investigation bureau has been conducting a full-scale search at the explosion site."

"They found fragments of three magic explosive grenades, took them out, oh..."

Rosef almost got into trouble.

In her prepared speech, it read, "...they found fragments of three magic explosive grenades (taking out evidence from a manila paper bag)..."

Rosef was so engrossed in reading her speech that she almost read out the parts in parentheses as well.

Fortunately, the clever Xiao Fu reacted quickly enough.

He shut his mouth in time.

Then, by taking out evidence, they tried to cover up their embarrassment.

She took a waterproof bag out of the brown paper bag and held it up to the reporters below the stage.

The black metal fragments gleamed coldly under the light, and the rune markings were clearly visible.

"After professional identification, it has been confirmed that these fragments are from the M24 Ether grenade, a standard-issue weapon of the Rhine Empire military!"

Chapter 48: Federal Manufacturing Far Ahead

The proof is like a mountain!

The reporters stood up almost simultaneously.

The loudest voice came from the front row: "Madam President! Are you saying that the Rhine Empire is conducting espionage activities within the Norton Federation?"

Rosef lowered her head.

At this point, there was a small line of text at the end of her speech.

(Please turn to the next page if you have any questions from reporters)

Rosef turned the page and her eyes lit up.

Eleanor, as if possessed by a prophet, listed many of the questions journalists might ask.

Different ways of answering were given.

Including but not limited to: answering truthfully, reserving certain information, downplaying the main points, changing the subject, saying no comment, making false accusations, and verbally abusing reporters, etc.

These methods are not unfamiliar to Rosef.

These are all basic operations for federal politicians; Louise had given her special training.

The president instantly understood.

She looked at the reporter who had just asked the question.

"Reporter, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."

The reporter then repeated his question.

"Madam President, I mean, the Rhine Empire is conducting espionage activities within the Norton Federation?"

I didn't say that.

Rosef said, "What I'm saying is that there's espionage within the Federation, and then our Bureau of Investigation agents found Rhine-made magic explosive grenades at the location of the operation!"

What's the difference?

It really does.

Despite the restrictions imposed by the Treaty of Versailles, the Rhine Empire's industrial level remained the second highest in Europe.

Second only to Red Rossi, which completed its first five-year plan.

It's not surprising that it exports weapons.

The discovery of the Rhine grenade does not necessarily mean that the espionage was orchestrated by the Rhine Empire.

Rosef must emphasize this point.

Otherwise, these reporters would immediately take her words out of context and release them to the public, creating a big news story.

This is something the President's daughter would never want to see.

But the reporters were clearly interested and wouldn't let her off so easily.

"Madam President, the discovery of fragments of the Rhine grenade does not prove the FBI's innocence!"

"These grenades can also be used by agents of the Investigation Bureau!"

This statement is clearly a stretch.

Rosef then retorted, "Then tell me, why did the Bureau of Investigation use Rhine grenades? Are you saying that grenades from our own territory aren't good enough?"

This……

The reporter was stunned. Was that what he meant?
