Rebirth: Super Banking System-Chapter 2496 - 2334: Earth-Shattering News

Frustrated!

Heartbroken!

Headache!

Faced with the onslaught of public opinion, the European Union has suddenly become the target of everyone’s criticism. After Reuters, European media quoted it, and media from various countries followed up with reports.

"Why is Reuters stirring up trouble?"

"Xie Te."

"Those damn Brits, stirring up trouble again."

"Damn it."

"..."

Several core nations could only curse under their breath. They really didn’t expect Reuters to jump out and cause a ruckus. Behind this, there might very well be a British shadow.

For crying out loud.

If you insist on Brexit, fine.

But don’t make trouble.

Damn it.

This is infuriating, stabbing them in the back at a crucial moment, making them very passive now.

There are some things.

That can be done.

But aren’t easy to put on the table. Just like Japan and South Korea, they claim democracy, independence, complete sovereignty. Yet they are still tightly controlled by the United States.

Turning the tables?

Dream on.

Now.

The EU’s sanctions against Greece have caused this whole situation, and they can’t relax. If not handled well, it could even threaten the stability of the EU.

If Greece is gone, then it’s gone.

But.

If the Eurozone collapses, if the EU falls apart, then that’s the real big deal.

Immediately.

A press conference was held to try and clear things up.

...

Press Conference.

Media from all over flocked to it, their faces filled with excitement. The news industry never fears something being too big, only that it’s not big enough.

Clearly.

The EU incident.

Very big.

Very hot.

Enough for them to write extensively about it—they very much hope the EU makes a few more mistakes to ride the wave of attention. But they think the probability is low.

After all, it’s the EU; being foolish once is enough, why would they continue to be foolish?

"They’ll probably downplay it again."

"Sigh!"

"Boring."

"Looks like this wave of heat will soon die down."

"Mm."

"..."

Some European media want to stir things up but don’t quite dare. After all, making a living in this area, offending the EU is not a good thing.

As for Reuters.

Sorry.

Not on the same wavelength.

Finally.

The press conference began, with the spokesperson being the EU’s official spokesperson. However, unlike before, it was the deputy who stepped up.

But.

Whatever, they’re all the same, doing some official debunking that put people to sleep.

However.

Soon they realized things seemed a bit different from what they thought. The first few questions were answered in a conventional manner, nothing new.

However.

Starting from the third question... things flew off track.

"May I ask."

"Considering the tough financial sanctions measures against Greece, which greatly harm the people, will the EU stop the sanctions?"

"No."

The spokesperson’s attitude was firm.

"If you owe money, you must repay. That’s only right. We are merely using our rightful power to safeguard the interests of all EU creditor countries."

"When borrowing money, it’s all joy and happiness."

"When repaying, they shirk and squabble."

"That’s absolutely not acceptable."

"Hmph."

"They must understand, not repaying has serious consequences. The EU has given so many loans, to turn a blind eye now, we won’t agree."

"Sanctions."

"Sanctions are a must."

"..."

Below. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

The eyes of the assembled journalists lit up like light bulbs.

Impressive.

That response was too impressive. They thought the EU to calm this issue might relax the sanctions, but to their surprise, it seemed they were set to intensify them.

Refreshing!

News.

Such a perfect headline!

However.

Some EU high-level officials were dumbfounded.

What?

Sanctions?

Sanction your sister, wasn’t the plan. To demonstrate the EU’s magnanimity, benevolence, and return to the previous level of sanctions, what’s happening here?

However.

The tone suddenly changed.

"However."

"Considering Greece’s actual problems, we believe that the current level of sanctions is indeed very harmful, so we have carefully considered returning to the previous level."

"..."

Upon hearing this.

The journalists felt a twinge of strangeness; this twist was sharp.

Naturally.

Some people in the EU also felt it. Although the result seems the same, with so much drama added to the process, who knows how the media will write it.

Just moments ago, they were scolded as if they were lesser.

Then.

An apology followed.

Saying they scolded wrong, asking for understanding, leaving a feeling of blockage in the heart. They really wanted to replace this person immediately, but doing so mid-way makes it easier for others to write carelessly.

Endure it.

Next, hopefully, nothing unexpected will happen.

However.

Next question: "Is the EU’s authority too large?"

Upon hearing this.

The spokesperson reacted as if stepped on the tail.

"Too large?"

"How is that possible?"

"On the contrary."

"I believe the EU’s authority should continue to expand. Just like with Greece, we need effective measures to reduce debt defaults."

"Otherwise."

"Anyone can shirk debts—how would the Eurozone maintain itself?"

"Now."

"There’s one Greece, will there be a second Greece next? A third Greece? If no one pays back, the EU would have no recourse."

"How can that work?"

"Therefore."

"Expanding authority will let the EU go farther."

"..."

Below.

Some people almost couldn’t resist rushing up; this wasn’t so much a clarification conference as it was an invitation for criticism. Many felt like they’d just seen a black-out.

Dear God.

Pills.

The journalists were as if injected with a boost, their hands trembling with excitement.

However.

Yet again the on-stage tone shifted.

"Of course."

"From the current perspective, the EU’s authority in some aspects is indeed too large. It needs restrictions, which specifics are yet to be discussed."

"..."

Some in the EU felt a tug at their hearts.

In other words.

Could you stop adding drama? Just say this sentence and be done with it. It’s just like riding a roller coaster, this person should be dismissed as soon as they return.

Ugh!

No.

Better keep them around for a while, otherwise, who knows how the media might write it. Now, the most pressing concerns for the media have been addressed.

There shouldn’t be any more unexpected twists.

"What is the EU’s view on the UK Brexit?" The Reuters journalist asked.

"In favor."

The spokesperson opened their mouth.

"Pfft!"

A lot of people below nearly spat blood.

"Pause."

"Get him down for me." The head of the EU’s external news department now only felt a dark future ahead. With that statement, his career.

Pills!

The issue of UK Brexit is now a heated topic, and the EU’s stance has been lukewarm, observing the developments patiently and leisurely.

But today.

It was unexpectedly affirmed by someone as an agreement.

Heavens!

God!

Oh Lord!

Why am I so miserable?

This is the EU’s official press conference, meaning it represents the EU’s view to the outside world. Directly agreeing to UK Brexit.

It’s too shocking.

Thus.

The spokesperson was escorted off by the on-site security.

...

All of this.

Captured faithfully by the journalists’ cameras, now they almost burst with laughter, their faces wide with smiles like a kid weighing a few hundred pounds.

Explosive.

This news is going to blow up!
