Based on his previous behavioral style and psychological qualities, even if he was asked to go on stage and tell a lie that would be ridiculed by the whole world, he would remain calm and composed.
In his own words, he was born tough and always tough.
However, today’s approach is very different from the previous style.
Today, he couldn’t act tough.
Instead, he admitted his mistake.
On behalf of the US government, we must apologize to the world for the Blackwater incident.
At the same time, a series of penalties imposed by the United States against Blackwater will also be announced.
He felt extremely dissatisfied when he thought about how he had never lowered his head or given up in all these years since his debut, and that he would break this tradition today.
However, even though he felt dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do. After all, to him, he was merely a spokesperson. The attitude, choice of words, and perspective he should convey in each speech were dictated by his superiors, and he could only follow the rules.
When the time came, he took a few deep breaths and walked into the hall.
As he appeared, the media reporters’ flashlights were constantly on and the sound of camera shutters clicking continuously filled the entire hall.
The spokesman stepped to the podium, adjusted his posture, and began, “Welcome everyone to today’s press conference. Before we begin, on behalf of the U.S. government, I would like to apologize to the tourists and staff involved in the terrorist attack on White Horse Island.”
“We believe a Blackwater executive’s testimony, believing this was a personal decision and had nothing to do with Blackwater, which has delayed the investigation. Rest assured, we will conduct a comprehensive investigation into this incident!”
Apologizing right then and there was an unexpected, but also reasonable, gesture.
The US government is indeed under tremendous pressure right now, and if it doesn’t address the problem soon, things will only get worse.
The spokesperson continued, “In addition to offering our apology, we also hope to use this press conference to announce to the world that, at the President’s request, the FBI has arrested all senior Blackwater executives. Once the investigation is complete, they will be handed over to the courts for prosecution!”
As soon as these words were spoken, cheers broke out at the scene.
In fact, everyone already knows the gist of the story. They know that the terrorist attack on White Horse Island was Blackwater’s decision and that the US government should have no involvement. As long as the US stops protecting them and handles the matter impartially, everyone will be satisfied.
This also means that Bernard Ayno single-handedly won the war between himself and the American government, which made the world know him even more.
The spokesperson continued, “The FBI has shut down Blackwater and ceased all operations. The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security have jointly formed a special investigative team, which will enter Blackwater tomorrow to conduct a comprehensive investigation.”
“We have also frozen all Blackwater accounts and property in the United States. Once the investigation is complete, we will assess the damage Blackwater caused to White Horse Island and compensate the victims.”
The American justice system consistently imposes harsh penalties on the companies involved.
Tesla’s Autopilot resulted in one death and one injury, and a U.S. court immediately fined the company $243 million; in the brutal United Airlines beating that Elaine Ma had always hoped would happen to her, the airline also paid the victim tens of millions of dollars in compensation.
Although all those killed in the White Horse Island incident were Blackwater mercenaries, the incident caused significant losses for White Horse Island. Bernard Arnault was even shot in the leg.
Once the United States stops protecting Blackwater and handles this terrorist attack impartially, then the hundreds of millions of dollars that Bernard Ayno claims were spent on bribes to Marqui, tens of millions of dollars to compensate guests, and the operational impact of dozens of deaths on White Horse Island, must all be compensated by Blackwater.
If the compensation amount is so large that Blackwater does not have enough cash in its accounts, it will have no choice but to auction off all of its non-cash assets.
This basically means that Blackwater will be destroyed in both its form and its own power!
