The truth is that the between Silas and the the people in the room was really needed. He could just do as he please as the country is technically is as it is.
After he fulfilled his promise to President Yusmaorobis, it could be said that that act of his bought the country and made it his.
Thus, he didn't need the permission of the individuals seated in the room before he can start implementing the changes he wants but he decided to meet with them first for some reasons.
One of those reasons being that he doesn't want anyone who would try to prevent the changes from taking place in any way. Especially anyone who would want to use their high ranking position in the military to stop the changes from taking place.
Silas also took a double approach by having Luna pay the individuals seated in the room a personal and friendly visit.
What Luna did wasn't something out of the ordinary but she definitely left an impression just as Silas asked.
Silas had already devised a plan for the issue pertaining to the country's military. He has also had Luna gather the needed information that would help him to achieve what he wants.
He already has information on those that are not longer fit to stay in military. The people who are left will be retrained.
About Silas' plan on replacing the equipments, weapons, technologies and services that the country's military uses, he already has a plan for it.
In a way it's related to the reason why Silas asked Lorckheed Martin Corporation to sell weapons to him but not entirely.
Why would he want to buy weapons or technologies that he can easily create with the Atomic Printer? Just as he said, he plans to equip the Venezuela military to the teeth and he intends to see that through.
Silas looked at the faces of the men and women in the room, and he let out an exhale.
Seated in the room and around the table are top ranking people in the country's military and they are the people that the decision-making of the nation's security fall into thejr hands.
He could had left with Silas but he chose to stay back as there things he has to finalize before he can leave.
If he was to be honest, he was enjoying the expression on the faces and how quickly it kept getting worse with each passing seconds.
President Yusmaorobis' question heightened the already tensed atmosphere in the room. chapter-hosted-on-NovelFire
"Mr President, I don't understand what you mean by test him further but I'm curious about something and I hope that you can enlighten us on it. I'm also sure that I'm not the only one here that has this question." A man with the name tag, Strategic Operational Officer Nico, asked as he looked at the faces of other in the room and he saw them nod in approval.
There was no need for them to hear what Nico was curious about before agreeing to it as it was the same question that's currently occupying a large part of their mind.
President Yusmaorobis also knew this but he still chose to ask what Nico and everyone are curious about.
"Go ahead and ask. If it's something I can enlighten everyone on, then I will but if not, I'm sorry."
Nico first coughed to clear his throat and took in a deep breath, and let out a lengthy exhale.
"Mr President, what's the identity of the young man that just left? I know that he said his name is Silas but who is he really? What sort of power, organization or entity does he represent and what does he and his backers stand to gain with all this?" Nico shot a barrages of questions at President Yusmaorobis.
He still had a lot of questions that he wants to ask but he stopped as he wants President Yusmaorobis to give answers to those he asked first.
"So many questions that you all want to ask but so little answers to give." President Yusmaorobis smiled.
He felt that he has been smiling quite a lot lately. He felt that it might be related to his daughter who is now safely recuperating in the hospital but he think it's more because of Silas.
President Yusmaorobis looked at everyone and sighed.
"I really can't tell you all much. What's his real identity?... I can't tell you all anything because I don't know either but what I do know is that the young man who just left doesn't have any power backing him. That's because he'w the embodiment of power itself!"
