Chapter 766: A Broken Ship
If the Emperor of Gephra were sitting in the Federation President’s office right now, the President might smile and say, “Is that all?” to express his surprise.
He didn’t mean to mock anyone—it was just that such a minor issue causing a financial crisis was genuinely surprising. It made the President realize Gephra’s financial system was more fragile than he had imagined.
“If this happened in the Federation…” the President looked at Truman, “Is there a risk of this happening to us?”
Truman gave a firm answer: “Mr. President, this can’t happen in the Federation.”
The President nodded with satisfaction. Indeed, the Federation’s political and social system was solid—though his thinking differed from most others.
Most people believed, Our capitalists are definitely stronger than Gephra’s, and this view was widely accepted.
“Can we do something with this?” the President quickly got into character. The Defense Department had briefed him beforehand, so he knew the meeting’s core.
He looked at everyone, put down his pen, and leaned back slightly in his chair. “Over two years ago, we faced a financial crisis ourselves. We survived, but it dealt a heavy blow to our country and society.”
“Now Gephra is facing the same problems. As mere bystanders, that doesn’t serve the Federation’s interests. Maybe we should act.”
