"...Then it's decided. We'll wait for him for half a day at the most. If he hasn't arrived by 2 PM, we'll announce this to the international community at 5 PM in the afternoon..."
As he dined, Beigaao reached a consensus with everyone. No matter what, tomorrow they would publicly announce they were a unified, complete government that complied with local laws!
The purpose of doing so was to expel the Federation.
When Mariluo achieves "unification," they can demand Sanchez and Isabella lay down their arms and require the Federation's military forces to depart from the homeland.
This is also why all the warlords support Beigaao. Combined, most of their forces are no match for the Federation; they have no other choice!
As he raised his glass and looked at the table, some of the prominent warlords were either expressionless or showed some approval, and Beigaao's face beamed with a special smile.
