That evening, in a temporarily set up studio, Noel faced the camera and delivered his resignation statement.
His complexion was ashen, his voice trembling, but his words were clear: "I, Claude Noel, President of Sen Republic, hereby declare my resignation from the presidency... I urge all government army soldiers to lay down their weapons and avoid unnecessary bloodshed..."
Song Heping glanced at the BBC reporter in the corner.
These guys were sent by Britain, genuine BBC reporters.
The British really spared no expense to gain benefits from Sena.
As long as BBC finishes shooting tonight, soon after, they will broadcast Noel's speech on their station, triggering a chain reaction where stations from all over the world, even Africa, will report this speech.
By then, it will be the French who find themselves in an awkward position.
The president they supported resigned voluntarily, rather than being killed.
If Noel were killed, they could easily groom another.
