Chapter 861 Press Conference, Completely Open!

In the Presidential Palace of the 25th Fleet, there were countless reporters crowded in the large conference room. Except for the long table in front, there was still extra space. The reporters were so crowded that they could hardly find a place to stand.

They received an invitation from the Presidential Palace to attend this press conference, saying that there was something very important to announce. Since there was not much explosive news in the 25th Fleet, they naturally swarmed in like sharks smelling blood.

"Commander Yang Hui." In the lounge next to the conference room, Howard Glass stood up to greet Yang Hui's arrival.

"President Glass." Yang Hui was a little surprised. Leon Mishima, who had disappeared from Howard Glass for a while, actually came back again, still with a disgusting mushroom head + hypocritical smile, but Yang Hui keenly discovered that his eyes contained the gloom and resentment hidden in the fuselage.

"Are you ready for the military exercise?" Howard Glass asked after shaking hands with Yang Hui. There are three most important things in the press conference later. The first is to make Vajra's existence public, the second is to announce the true identity of Yang Hui and others and announce their appointments, and the last is the live broadcast of the large-scale military exercise. In order to create a more enthusiastic atmosphere, Howard Glass plans to watch the military exercise in the conference room with Yang Hui, and also asks Yang Hui to be responsible for the on-site explanation.

"Both sides are ready and can start at any time." Yang Hui nodded and smiled secretly in his heart. He was looking forward to Howard Glass's expression when he saw how the coalition forces of the New Unified Army and SMS Company were blown up by the two teams of the Promise Legion.

"Then let's go, Commander Yang Hui, are you ready to face the public's doubts?"

"I believe in the citizens of the 25th Fleet."

"Hahaha, let's go!"

"Please."

Yang Hui and Howard Glass pushed open the door of the lounge together, walked into the conference room facing the dazzling flash, and sat in the arranged seats.

"Who is that?"

"The uniform he's wearing... he's a general! Such a young general!?"

"He's really young, and so handsome!"

"Stop being a fangirl, take pictures!"

The reporters kept clicking their shutters, and at the same time they were thinking about the questions they would ask later, and the focus was definitely on Yang Hui's identity.

As Yang Hui and Howard Glass took their seats, Wang Liumei and Leon Mishima stood behind them respectively, and the press conference officially began.

First, Howard Glass announced the intelligence of Vajra.

"...Maybe someone still remembers it? That's right, this is the biological weapon that attacked Frontier last time, and we call this creature Vajra..."

As Howard Glass made it public, the LED billboards, TVs, computers, and PADs of the 25th Fleet all played the recorded footage of the last battle.

Seeing Vajra's claws and teeth baring and wantonly destroying the main island, destroying warships, and shooting down fighter planes, everyone in the 25th Fleet was so scared that they covered their mouths.

"...But don't worry, Frontier has powerful allies to protect you. Let me introduce them to you..." Howard Glass turned to look at Yang Hui and extended his hand to introduce the citizens, "...Commander-in-chief of the surviving fleet of the 4th Fleet, His Excellency Yang Hui. Under the leadership of His Excellency Yang Hui and the joint efforts of countless compatriots, the surviving fleet of the 4th Fleet successfully reunited with Frontier and joined Frontier..."

"The surviving fleet of the 4th Fleet!? Doesn't that mean..."

"How could this be!? Could it be Vajra too..."

"So young! He is the commander-in-chief at such a young age?"

"Too young, is he reliable?"

After hearing Howard Glass's introduction, the citizens talked about it. Some were sad about the death of the 4th Fleet, some sympathized with Yang Hui and others, but more of them were suspicious and questioning about Yang Hui's age.

"I know that you all have doubts about the ability of Lord Yang Hui. Please see, this is the record of the 4th Fleet protecting Frontier during the last Vajra attack..."

As the recorded video began to play, everyone also intuitively saw the ability of the surviving fleet of the 4th Fleet. The new unified army they had high hopes for suffered heavy losses in front of Vajra, while this surviving fleet, which seemed to be obviously technologically backward, firmly held the line of defense and protected Frontier from Vajra's invasion.

Then, the screen showed the [Dawn Gundam].

"This machine, named [Dawn Gundam], is the exclusive vehicle of Lord Yang Hui. In the last battle, Lord Yang Hui not only bravely fought on the most dangerous front line, but also demonstrated strong strength. So citizens, please do not doubt Commander Yang Hui, nor the surviving fleet. Their ability is beyond doubt."

Before, it was doubt, and now it is shock. In the eyes of the citizens, it is just a wandering fleet with backward technology. How capable can it be?

But with the proof of combat records and the comparison with the new unified army, the status of Yang Hui and the Promise Legion in their hearts immediately began to improve, and at a very fast speed.

"As you can see, the New Unified Army suffered heavy losses in the last battle, which made Frontier's defense force stretched to its limits. Fortunately, the addition of Mr. Yang Hui and the surviving fleet has made Frontier safer! Once again, in the name of President Frontier, I declare that all members of the surviving fleet will be completely integrated with Frontier, and Mr. Yang Hui will serve as the commander-in-chief of the New Unified Army, leading all Frontier's military forces!"

Howard Glass's announcement caused an uproar among the citizens of the 25th Fleet. The citizens immediately divided into three factions. One faction supported Howard Glass's announcement. After all, in the recording just played, Yang Hui and the Promise Corps' performance was so brilliant that it gave them more confidence and security.

The second group of people expressed opposition. After all, Yang Hui and the surviving fleet were outsiders. They said they could not trust each other, but there were only a few such people, and in places they could not see, there were a pair of eyes secretly staring at them.

Finally, there are the neutrals, or... people who don't care. They know very well that it's meaningless to express their opinions on the decisions and appointments of the top leaders. As long as they can maintain their current stable life, that's enough.

"In order to let all citizens understand the strength of the surviving fleet more fully, I have discussed with Commander Yang Hui that a military exercise will be held soon. The coalition forces composed of the original New Combined Army Fleet and the elite forces of SMS Company will fight against the two fighter squadrons of the surviving fleet, and the live broadcast will be broadcast to all citizens. In addition, Mr. Yang Hui will explain it to you here. I believe no one can be more professional than Mr. Yang Hui."

"Are you kidding me!?"

"Two squadrons, against a joint fleet!? Isn't this courting death?",

"Isn't this too arrogant?"

"I don't think so. Look... the new commander-in-chief is not nervous at all."

"I'm looking forward to the military exercise. Let's start!"

...

In the eyes of everyone nervous and expectant, Yang Hui nodded to all the cameras and then connected the communication between the highest commanders of both sides of the play.

"The exercise begins."
