You send a message that sets a chain of events in motion that saves millions. A common trope in fiction, with some basis in reality(e.g. the nuclear attack warnings during the Cold War, which a few soldiers in bunkers decided to ignore). Power just means you get to call shots and take credit. It doesn't mean that you were the most valuable player.
