Chapter 573: Spoiled Plans
Alexander continued his speech, "Recently I went to Drachma. It was not an official trip as I went on my own. I wanted to ease the load on the shoulders of our Northern soldiers. So, I talked with the President of Drachma.
"Here, I have the Peace deal in my hand." Alexander showed everyone a paper in his hand. Most of the people had already heard the gossip about this happening.
There were also giant projectors with screens set up for people to see everything going on the stage. This was also going to start the age of information.
"It's not just the president who signed this deal, but their Government Party as well. So, now I can officially say, Amestris has no enemies anymore. There is no war now. I have brought permanent peace." Alexander announced with a raised fist.
With that, the crowd ushered in cheers. People often get excited about such talks about peace.
Alexander then continued, but with a grim expression. "But, when I returned here, I found something saddening. There was corruption in the Central Command of our country. So much corruption that many wars and conflicts arose due to them. I will let King Bradley explain everything as he was at the centre of all this."
Bradley's face was normal and there were no expressions. But internally, he was trying to fight this foreign control over his body.
He went to the podium and stood behind the mic. Then, without his permission, his mouth started to speak.
"I am ashamed to be telling you all this but this is indeed the truth. Corruption had taken place in the Central Command. A man that goes by the name Father was controlling me and my men. Father had created 7 Homonculus, out of which, 4 are already dead, killed by the hands of General Universe.
