The atmosphere in the conference room was somewhat heavy.
The policy of neutrality had always been the governing principle of all parties in Lemar, situated far from other countries, its solitary resilience in the East Ocean.
They saw no need to establish diplomatic relations with other countries nor get involved in those dreadful wars.
But now, it seemed they were being forced to make a choice!
This matter was not a simple isolated incident; it was, in fact, the result of piling up many choices together.
The President looked somewhat dejected, in fact, he somewhat regretted now, and the upper echelon of the Democratic Party also had a bit of regret; if they had agreed to the Federation at that time, they might not be so troubled now.
In fact, Lemar's sentiments towards the Federation were a bit deeper than towards Peng Jieao.
At least they used to be Neutral Countries during the First World War.
