Getting a Technology System in Modern Day
chapter-200

The news was received by every corner of the globe in just a matter of a few hours.

However, the world on the other hand reacted completely differently to the information, especially after the American government held a press conference a few hours after the one carried out by Eden's Ministry of defense(EMOD), but during this press conference, they brought out a completely different narrative from what the EMOD had stated about the ongoing war.

The revelation from the American government's side came with imagery evidence among which included the shocking explosion images that were captured by their Space-Based Infrared System (SBIRS) constellation. The image clearly showed the ocean water rising very high amidst a few boats that were destroyed and only had a few pieces floating together, with a massive plum of water rising for a radius of ten kilometers which was its impact zone. The water turned foamy after being disturbed by shockwaves from the explosion and was caught by the sensors and is now shown as evidence.

In fact, people were completely taken aback by such a horrific event that had occurred just a few hours ago and the country that did this did not even consider what might happen after they massacred the entire fleet that had breached their maritime sovereignty and continued acting as if the war had only started.

(@CuriousSoul): Woah, just caught up on the EMOD's press conference about the ongoing war! Their narrative made them look weak, but now the American government comes in with a completely different story? #WarSaga #DualNarratives

(@HistoryBuff101): This is getting wild! The American government's imagery evidence is too just shocking. That explosion pic from their SBIRS is horrifying, yet it looked awesome! #WarSaga #ExplosiveRevelations

(@NewsJunkie23): Can't wrap my head around it! Why does Eden's narrative imply that the fight is going to be very difficult for them if they want to come out victorious, but at the same time, America's narrative shows that they have completely dragged and massacred the Esparians, ending the entire thing in a matter of a few minutes? Who do we believe? #WarSaga #ConflictingReports

(@TechGeek99): The technology doesn't lie! The SBIRS evidence is compelling, but who's to confirm that it wasn't tampered with? We need a real report. Conspiracy theories in 3, 2, 1... #WarSaga #TechTruth

(@problemmaker): But from where the heck did they even get their hands on such a powerful explosive and how were they even able to use it without the other side doing absolutely nothing to avoid it? #somethingishidden here #Conspiracy #Insidejob

(@PoliticalInsight): Geopolitics at play! EMOD and America trying to shape the narrative in their favor. We need unbiased reporting and fact-checking. #WarSaga #GeopoliticalGames

(@DefenceExpert22): Let's not forget the tragedy! The casualties in the ocean battle can't be ignored. Condolences to the families affected. #WarSaga #RememberTheFallen

(@HopefulMindset): Amidst the chaos, let's hope for better days ahead. Humanity must find a way to resolve conflicts peacefully. #WarSaga #HopeForPeace

(@AnalyticalEyes): The power of perspective! EMOD and America's narratives show how information can be twisted to their liking. Critical thinking is crucial in times like these. #WarSaga #PerspectiveMatters

(@Thecuriousdude69): By the way, where the fuck is Esparia's department of defense? We need some fucking answers, they remain quiet throughout all of this? Are they embarrassed for the beating they received? #WarSaga #WherethefuckisEsparia #Esperia? #Ineedansweres

Interestingly, Esparia had remained silent despite them being the ones who had suffered heavy casualties of their soldiers and were humiliated while the other side had already made their announcement.

As the public pressure continued to increase, the silence could only last for a few hours before the news about Esparia arranging a press conference in the afternoon of the same day.

After all, they were pressured by the public to give an explanation of what the heck had happened and with the cries of the families of the soldiers that had been sent to the border during the period, only escalated the tensions.

People were waiting for the press conference with anxiousness, curious as to what explanation Esparia was going to provide about the devastating events.

[ Esparia Ministry of Defense Press Conference ]

Inside the room filled with hundreds of reporters from both local and international media, all were eager to get this news to the curious observers who wanted to get as much information as possible about the ongoing situation. People were curious whether it was just a skirmish that would end as such or will it escalate into a full-blown war, with some secretly hoping for the latter to happen.

A handsome-looking man, donned in a full ceremonial military uniform, walked into the room, carrying a hard folder in his hands. He confidently walked to the podium before putting the folder on it. Raising his head, he looked at the flashing cameras and reporters in the room to address them in a calm and slow manner.

"Ladies and gentlemen,"

The little amount of whispers and talks came to a halt as he continued.

"Thank you for joining us today as we address the recent events involving Esparia and Eden. It is with a heavy heart that I stand before you to shed light on the unfortunate incidents that occurred last night," he paused for a moment, allowing the people to prepare themselves for the gravity of what he was going to say next.

After a short moment of pause, he continued, "Last night, our fleet was engaged in a routine navigation exercise, training for a situation where we use other means of navigation apart from just our GPS navigation system."

"Due to some uncalculated errors occurring during the exercise, our fleet inadvertently veered into Eden's waters without any malicious intent."

"When that happened, Eden's forces, without any prior warning, launched an aggressive attack on our fleet using a bomb that resulted in the loss of numerous brave soldiers and the capture of the remaining members. We deeply mourn for the loss of our comrades and are doing everything in our power to secure the safe return of those captured."

"It is crucial to note that there was no prior warning from Eden and we were taken by surprise when we were suddenly faced with an attack without any provocation."

He let out a sigh, a look of worry flashing on his face, he then continued.

"Furthermore, Eden's aggression didn't stop right at the sea as they simultaneously initiated a skirmish on the land border. This clearly indicates that this was not just a simple reaction to us entering their water, but a deliberately planned operation from their side, so that they could inflict damage upon us and us entering their waters was nothing but a mere justification they could use for what they had done to us."

"Their actions caught our forces off guard, leaving them with little to no chance to defend themselves. This attack resulted in severe casualties and a humiliating arrest of all the surviving members of our forces situated on the base."

The man said as he seemed to be grinding his teeth in anger.

Seeing this, many of the reporters couldn't help but start to believe that it was indeed true.
