Jessica and her subordinates' eyes were as wide as saucers, and their jaws hung open as they gaped at the news playing on the screen. Incredulity was written all over their faces.
Eurasia's naval forces have actually teamed up with Remdik's naval forces and even forced the carrier battle group under Admiral Max's command to retreat? Oh my God, this piece of news is simply too sudden'.
Jessica’s face flushed red with fury.
Ariarica had quite a number of allies, and they always followed suit whenever Ariarica did anything.
For that reason, Ariarica was pretty confident if a battle were to break out with Eurasia.
However, things were different when Eurasia had Remdik as an ally.
With the Dragon of the East and War Bear joining hands, they had the capability to challenge the entire world.
As Jessica heard from the news report that Max had already been forced to retreat, she knew that it probably wouldn't be long before they all slinked away with their tails tucked between their legs though he had only temporarily left Eurasia's waters.
Crap! The gunboat diplomacy strategy is likely to fail this time!
Sure enough, just when that thought occurred to Jessica, Jemma abruptly strode over and handed a phone to her. “Ms. Pattinson, a call from the higher-ups,” she murmured.
Upon hearing that, Jessica swiftly took the phone from her. “Hello. I'm Jessica Pattinson, the Minister of Foreign Affairs.”
The voice of the president, Bryon, drifted out of the other end of the phone. “The situation has changed, so make preparations to return!”
As soon as Jessica heard that, her heart lurched. “What about the negotiation, then?” she inquired softly.
“Forget about the tariffs and sanctions on Eurasia's companies first. Right now, Remdik has already stepped forward and is standing side by side with Eurasia. We can't push them too hard. Otherwise, they'll truly gang up on us. That's not the result I want,” Bryon asserted.
“Okay, I understand,” Jessica hurriedly replied.
After saying that, she hung up the phone with a grim expression on her face.
Ultimately, she was going to follow in Max's footsteps and leave with her tail tucked between her legs.
