March 20, the first public holiday after the negotiations concluded.
The White House.
Mike McFarland, the press secretary, wore a serious expression as he looked at the sea of cameras and reporters before him. This elite figure, who had spent over two decades in journalism…
was nonetheless somewhat apprehensive.
He understood the significance of the words he was about to utter...
The United States' ambition to dominate the world was abruptly halted at this moment!
Mike McFarland took a deep breath. "The United States acknowledges the failure and wrongful nature of the US-Mexico War…"
"We apologize to Mexico and the Mexican people and will provide compensation for the victims!"
Clap, clap, clap~
The reporters remained silent, their eyes gleaming as they furiously snapped pictures.
Though the US-Mexico War lasted merely two and a half months, it gave rise to many prominent journalists who, fueled by bonuses, attained promotions, salaries, and even the favor of wealthy women.
