Chapter 443: Press Conference

Two days later, the routine press conference by the United States Department of Defense was held as scheduled.

Colonel Lai De had arrived at his office early that morning and, after his secretary brought in coffee, he picked up the speech he had prepared for the day and read it through. Then he took out some documents he had prepared the night before from his briefcase, beginning his third review to ensure some of the information was firmly etched in his mind.

The recent hot topics were all related to Afghanistan and Illiguo, and he had done plenty of homework on both fronts.

Especially since there were scandals of civilian casualties caused by the US Army in Illiguo and Afghanistan. Although such news greatly damaged the image of the US Army, this wasn't the first time Lai De had dealt with such situations.
