Hearing Fogen say that, the others were also somewhat shocked, but there was nothing they could do about it.
After all, no matter the reason, using such extermination-like methods would definitely leave ammunition for political enemies.
However, the most fatal issue would come from foreign powers; they would manipulate the media to attack the Fogen Government, instigate a color revolution within the country, subvert the regime, and help their own forces come to power.
Fogen was aware of how great the cost of such actions would be, and he said, "This is a last resort in the worst-case scenario, Wei, don't do it lightly unless absolutely necessary."
Wei Tianyang nodded; he didn't want to exterminate humanity. Casualties of civilians in combat were one thing, but taking direct action against civilians was another.
