Mr. Reyes!!!

This is what Michael lowkey wanted, to create an intense tension between China and the United States. That way, China would be wary of any United States action, leading the United States not to commence any operation they planned against China as China was focused on watching every move. 

With this, he had probably bought himself another one or two years of global peace, which is a time he only needed to prepare for a global war that the United States was cooking up.

The following day, the White House Press Room was filled to capacity. Journalists from every major network and news outlet were present, eager to hear President Thomas Greene's response to China's recent statements.

As the clock struck noon, President Greene stepped up to the podium, flanked by his advisors and top military officials. He adjusted the microphone and began his address, his expression grave but composed.
