0388 Strength diplomacy
Mr. President told everything that had happened, including the fact that the commander-in-chief of the fleet ordered the total annihilation of Gevre's navy in the event of the surrender of the other side.
Some people who did not know the inside story stood up in horror after hearing this, and some even complained that the commander-in-chief of the fleet should be severely punished.
Everyone was expressing their views appropriately and giving more information to the President and the President's Cabinet in their field of work, until Mr. Wodrick began to speak.
"Mr. President, Cabinet Members, I have a question...... after Mr. President agreed to continue his speech, Mr. Wardrick asked a question that no one else had noticed, "Is it possible to replicate the results of our battle against the Royal Navy of Gevra this time?"
Not only Mr. President, but also the Secretary of Defense, but even Mr. Trueman, and everyone in the entire conference room, were focused on Mr. Wardrick.
They were so frightened by the news that they did not realize at all that if the outcome of this naval battle was not due to luck, then why would they be afraid of it?
The Minister of Defense nodded, "Our new torpedoes can easily destroy the hulls of all battleships currently in service, and if you ask if this can be replicated, I think it is." ”
In fact, the core of this battle that really laid the foundation for victory was not the heavy artillery confrontation between the Federation's fleet and the Gavre's royal fleet, it is no exaggeration to say that the Federation's naval soldiers are not half a star away from the personal quality and ability of the Gavra naval soldiers.
If it weren't for the ability gap between people and people in various technologies, and if it weren't for those submarines and new torpedoes, the Federal Navy would probably have lost this naval battle.
In fact, any strategic and tactical superiority has no concrete value in actual combat, because the specific implementation is still individual soldiers, and the individual quality does not meet the standards for the implementation of strategy and tactics, so no matter how well the strategy and tactics are formulated, it is useless.
Fortunately, submarines and torpedoes saved the naval battle.
Mr. Wardrick nodded, "I have a suggestion, immediately hold a press conference to show the world the data on our submarines, as well as the data on torpedoes......"
"Impossible!", the Minister of Defense almost blurted out the rejection of Mr. Wodrik's proposal, "these are military secrets!"
Mr. Wadrik shook his head, "Not anymore, people will soon get their hands on the specific data of these things in various ways, and instead of sending countless spies to take us some...... It's all holes, and in the end, we have to throw away the data, so it's better for us to process it a little and release it to the entire international community. ”
"There's never been a better time to show what we're capable of, and we can show anyone in the world that we can get the most out of the least by publishing these numbers. ”
"Whether it's Gavra or those who are ready to move, if they dare to come, we can sink them to the bottom of the sea!"
Mr. President felt that it made a lot of sense, and although Mr. Wadrick did not say it explicitly, everyone knew that the place he omitted was the Congressional Armed Services Committee.
The Senate has a Federal Military Commission, which consists of 24 senators who serve as permanent members, who have access to all documents and information related to the military in the Federation.
Each of these people holds a variety of secret foundations, and every year the military-industrial complex will frantically stuff them with money.
If these people can eat the money of the military-industrial complex with peace of mind, then it is naturally possible to eat other people's money and check the parameters of some equipment on the grounds of reviewing specific data, which is actually a very normal operation.
This is the case with a lot of competition between military-industrial complexes, who know the parameters of each opponent's upcoming new equipment before a new tender begins.
Mr. President looked at Mr. Trueman, who bowed slightly, "I think so, Mr. Wadrick's proposal is very constructive, it makes me think of something else, but overall, I think it is." ”
Mr. President took the first board of the evening, "Then you immediately arrange for someone to do it!"
Mr. Trueman walked up to the Secretary of Defense, pulled him into the corner, and whispered for a while.
In fact, there is nothing too special, that is, to increase the data released by the Secretary of Defense after dawn by about 15 to 20 percent, and at the same time let him get some low-cost and high-return combat equipment as soon as possible.
For example, a speedboat that is loaded with only one torpedo tube and can be operated by only one person.
With a price of less than 100,000 yuan in exchange for the battle damage of even a destroyer, the Federation made a lot of money.
It's shameless, it's mean, but it's also effective.
As long as someone dared to get close to the federal waters, they could easily launch thousands of torpedo boats.
While arranging how the Secretary of Defense could professionally deceive the media and the international community, Mr. Trueman saw a nonchalant Lynch sitting in the corner.
He immediately ended his conversation with the Secretary of Defense, walked over to the President and whispered for a moment, and Mr. President glanced back at Mr. Trueman before turning his gaze to Lynch.
Most people's eyes followed Mr. President's gaze and looked at Lynch.
"Mr. Lynch, each of us has expressed some of our own opinions and provided some suggestions as much as we can, can you also provide us with some valuable ideas?"
Lynch has not spoken until tonight, and Mr. Trueman feels that Lynch does not have nothing to say, but he is unwilling to say it now.
Anyone who knows Lynch knows that his ideas are very avant-garde, and sometimes they are a little contrary to the mainstream of society, and his thoughts at this time must be different from those of these people in the room, and even the direction is different or even opposite, so he doesn't say a word.
Otherwise, he would have stood up and turned this place into his stage.
This is also the reason why Mr. Truman did not open his mouth to invite Lynch to express his opinion, his identity and weight are not enough for everyone here to sell his face, but Mr. President has this face.
Lynch's gaze lingered on Mr. President's face for three or five seconds, and then shifted to Mr. Trueman's, who did not speak immediately, still hesitating.
At this point, Mr. Wodrick also stepped forward, "Mr. Lynch, now is the time when we need to come together, if you have any good ideas, please be sure to say them." ”
Mr. President and Mr. Wardrick, the weight of the two is enough, Lynch bowed slightly, "Actually, you are all mistaken, it is not the Royal Navy of Gavfra that is fighting with us, but the Preton Pirate Group......"
"Impossible!", the foreign minister immediately replied in the negative, "We all know, it's the Royal Fleet of Gavrela!"
Lynch looked at him like a fool, and of course he couldn't be blamed for that, but the previous president was to blame.
Isolationism is so terrible that diplomacy is almost all wasted, and this kind of waste does not mean that the diplomatic staff of the federation do not work, and it does not mean that the federation really does not have the slightest act of international diplomacy.
Rather, it is said that the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs is backward or even regressive in the way it handles international foreign affairs, and its thinking on diplomacy is still stuck a few years ago or even more than a decade ago, and it has not yet been understood that in this world, only the fist can safeguard its interests.
In the past, international diplomacy was more strategic, because at that time, although the international community had established ties with each other, it was unlikely that there would be close contact due to scientific and technological reasons.
In the absence of a large-scale invasion, countries were still relatively inclined to reason and means in foreign policy, until the outbreak of world war.
Politics and diplomacy are no longer the mainstream, and strength diplomacy is the current trend.
Now that the Gevras have lost, then whatever the Federation says must be what it is.
But you can't do that at work, you need to pay attention to methods, Lynch nodded in agreement, "What you said is not unreasonable, then I think the most important thing you should do now is to contact the diplomatic ambassador of Gavre, accuse their royal fleet of colluding with the pirate group, and then see what they say!"
The first half of Lynch's sentence was a little disappointing, but the second half of the sentence immediately made people feel amazing.
What would they say, they would certainly not admit it, and once they had admitted that Gavra's Royal Navy and the Preton Pirate Group were in league with each other, did Pretton's control of the economy of the United Kingdom of Nagalil be at the behest of Gavra?
Once the seeds of suspicion are planted, they can never be removed, and Gevra is not likable, which will bring Gavra into disrepute in the international community, and at the same time will be guarded against and isolated!
"We can start by isolating Gevra diplomatically, spending some money, promising some benefits, getting some people who are condemned by conscience to come forward, rebel leaders or whatever, and let them stand up and tell the whole international community that they are also doing it at the behest of the Gevre. ”
"Secondly, I also have a question, where is our fleet now?"
Mr. Trueman, accustomed to Lynch's quick-jump speed, replied at once, "On the way back." ”
"I have just noticed that we have not completely annihilated the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of Gavre, they have two battleships and some other warships that were not involved in this naval battle, and they have also been transferred to the Anmelia region. ”
The Minister of Defense nodded, these messages were not top secret information that was blocked, and even Emperor Gevra made this decision public to the international community.
What they want to do is to deter some people with ulterior motives in the Anmelia region, and tell everyone that our fleet is coming, and those who are not honest are honest.
"Go after them!", Lynch's words caused the atmosphere in the room to freeze for a moment.
If the fleet that participated in the naval battle was completely annihilated before, and the one who opened his eyes and said nonsense did not admit that the other party was the Gaifra Navy or a lot of more or less able to say the past, and now go after and kill the remaining warships, is it ......
A bit deceitful?
"We don't need to start new battles, we don't need to get up close and personal with them, we just need to keep our fleet at a distance where we can attack at any time. ”
"As for the reason...... Lynch shook his head slightly, "we're hunting down the remnants of the Preton Pirate Syndicate!"
The Foreign Minister couldn't help but say again, "The Emperor of Gavra will go crazy, no one has ever insulted them so much!"
"No!", Lynch's tone was also very firm, "because we have a reason he can't refuse!"
