Petes' public declaration to all the citizens of Fatches caused a huge uproar.
Objectively speaking, he couldn't possibly take over the power of the United Government. Although he was a member of the family cabinet, his succession rank wasn't high enough, nor was his reputation and status, to achieve an effect of unquestioned compliance. He couldn't command the United Government, let alone really make the entire Fatches Defense Army genuinely lay down their weapons.
No matter what he said in the declaration, whether people actually listened to him was a completely different matter.
However, this declaration still caused enormous chaos within the Fatches Regime.
On Fatches No.1, tens of millions of Planetary Defense Forces fell into a bizarre silence.
