Chapter 988: Chapter 988: Just That Arrogant (3)

Hmph!

Wilson didn’t think Gan Yuan had the capability to handle all of this, even with Huangfu Jue supporting her. After all, Huangfu Jue is the Duke of A Country, an outsider, and can’t directly interfere in this matter.

Therefore, Wilson didn’t mind letting Gan Yuan go and take the lead first.

As Wilson took the lead, naturally, no one else would have objections. As the most senior member, he had already recognized Gan Yuan’s position, so what more could they say.

In an instant, everyone’s eyes shifted toward Gan Yuan again, eager to see how she would handle the situation.

“This country is a unified nation; this land does not permit any division or secession, and I will not allow such things,” Gan Yuan said with a calm face, her tone icy, “I intend to mobilize every available military force and camp at Chihe in the shortest time possible.”

Upon hearing this, Wilson chuckled inwardly, thinking this woman was indeed naive. Did she think those troops could be mobilized at her whim, and that she could use them as she pleased?

It seemed to him that she still didn’t understand this country.

Over the years, even he and the President had to use all sorts of tactics to make those military guys do something for them.

Also, not to mention whether those in command of the military would listen to her. Even if they did obey, could such military power really contend with the Northwest?

War could cause countless deaths, and then, what would the international community say about her…

He thought she might have some outstanding ability, but it seemed he had overestimated her!

“Princess!” Councilor John frowned and spoke, “Do you really intend to start a war?”

Gan Yuan stood up, “If necessary, I don’t mind using any means.”

War?

Of course, she didn’t want that.

That meant countless deaths, something she might not have cared about in the past—just a few dead people, after all.

But now, her mindset was already different from before. Every life was precious, and what right did she have to sacrifice others’ lives for her victory?

This was only a stance!

She aimed to let everyone know that she would not compromise.

No matter if the opponent was General Barton or Senator Wilson… if anyone dared touch this cause, she wouldn’t allow it.

An assistant stepped forward, placing a drafted document on the table.

“This is the document appointing me as the interim President. Please, all of you sign it!”

A few people signed their names on the document in succession, and the assistant came and collected it.

“From now on, I will officially assume control of the Royal Palace,” Gan Yuan said softly, pulling out a chair. “Within an hour, I want to hold a press conference. I expect all of you to be present.”

The assistant helped her pull out the chair, and Dolly opened the door for her. Gan Yuan stepped out of the meeting room with a clear stride in her low-heeled shoes.

Watching her departing figure, everyone either frowned or shook their heads, with expressions full of gravity.

“Senator Wilson.” A slightly younger councilor turned to look at Wilson, “Do you have no other suggestions?”

The old councilor Wilson gently shook his head, “I am old, or… perhaps now it is the world of the young.”

He certainly had his methods, but he didn’t want to give Gan Yuan any advice. He wanted her to run into trouble and then leave in disgrace.

John glanced at his face, reading his intentions, scoffed lightly, and walked out of the meeting room, striding quickly toward the elevator.
