Compton smiled and said to Tian Xingjian, "Lieutenant, since your calculations and plan differ, why don't you explain it to them so they can get convinced. I'll leave this matter to you."
Giving that Major a fierce glare, Compton turned and left.
As soon as the director left, the people in the 2nd Room started to stir again, shouting, "Yeah! Explain it clearly!"
"If you can't explain it, get ready to kneel and admit your mistake!"
Those who believed the director was secretly siding with them had mocking smiles, waiting to see how this Lieutenant would make a fool of himself.
Tian Xingjian pulled up the map of New Rome on his computer and asked the crowd, "If I prove I'm right, you'll kneel and admit your mistake?"
The Major and Keren exchanged glances and, spurred on by the other staff behind them, he decisively said, "Of course!"
