0268 The relationship between war and money

The war-weariness of the Federation stemmed from some war documentaries in the early stages of the World War, where some Federation reporters went to the front lines of the war with the intention of risking their lives, and a large amount of footage was filmed and sent back to the Federation.

These war correspondents did quickly become household names throughout the Federation, but they didn't realize it, and the people of the entire Federation didn't realize it, that it was these real battlefield records that made the Federation people fear war.

Considering the difficulty of recording videos on the battlefield, these films are in the form of silent films, starting from the first frame to the end of the last second, without any sound.

On TV, in the cinema, people may still be laughing and looking forward to the picture of the front line, after all, there has been no war here for a long time, and there is not even friction with other countries.

People have long forgotten the cruelty of the war, only remembering the romance that does not exist in the war, and a few years before the outbreak of the war, someone made an award-winning film called "Pretty Woman in Fire", romantic love and romantic war, which left a false impression on the two generations of people who did not experience war in the Federation.

It wasn't until these real images began to hit people's hearts and minds that people realized that war was not romantic or something to look forward to.

Bullets, invisible bullets are like the scythe of death on the battlefield randomly and randomly harvesting lives, and there are constantly soldiers in the picture who suddenly shake their bodies back, or raise their heads, and the whole person quickly falls down and convulses a few times and becomes a corpse.

There was no sound of bullets whistling, no screams before death, watching some soldiers who were not completely dead showing their frightening miserable faces under the camera and howling silently, everyone in the Federation turned from excitement and anticipation to silence.

Every time it is played, people begin to be silent, the brutal war breaks everyone's unrealistic illusions, there is no love here, there is no fighting wit, there are only people who carry out the death and are executed.

One person after another died, some of their own, some of the others, and there was a memorable scene where a shell landed on the side of the war correspondent, and the camera fell to the ground after a rapid shake, followed by some black liquid covering part of the shot.

The camera then appears to have been picked up, but it staggered back to the ground, and then a war correspondent collapsed in front of the camera, several fragments piercing his body.

He knelt on the ground and pouted his buttocks, his upper body hanging limply on the ground, but this comical image made people laugh because a fresh life was dying.

He vomited blood, a little like he felt when he was sick to his stomach, his chest bulged and bulged, and then a big gulp of blood flowed out of his mouth, nostrils, and then more blood foam.

He was not completely dead at this time, he tried to stand up straight, but he had no strength, his arms held the ground several times without supporting his body, his chest rose and fell more and more violently, and finally his body trembled violently a few times, and everything was calm.

He died, his eyes on the camera, as if he had foreseen his final fate, and he left the Federalists with no fearlessness or courage that he might want to show about death, or admonition or anything, he only left the Federalists with endless fear.

Everyone is afraid of death, and when people watch a Federation man die on the battlefield in such a tragic way, in front of the camera, people clearly look at the pain, struggle, and powerlessness of the last half minute of his life, and the war-weariness explodes instantly.

You must know that before this, the Federation did not actually consider pursuing a policy of isolation, and even the president and the presidential cabinet at that time were still considering the issue of taking sides, and they intended to actively join it.

But this sudden wave of war weariness instantly gave the Conservatives a stage to act, and they obeyed the people's will, put forward isolationism, and won the support of all the people.

Everyone is afraid of death, not only for themselves, but also for their relatives and friends to die on the battlefield, just like the reporters in the camera.

So when Lynch mentioned the word "war" on such an occasion, the whole hall was almost silent.

In fact, it is not only the bottom of society that has war-weariness, but this kind of emotion is like being infected, so that the middle and upper levels of society also have war-weariness.

Of course, war weariness does not mean that they do not want to reach out to the international community, which is not the same thing.

Everyone was looking at Lynch, and Lynch was extraordinarily calm, and he didn't seem to be the slightest timid because of the gazes of countless big people.

He smiled calmly and reservedly, and stood a little further out of the crowd, Severella looked at Lynch a little distractedly, I don't know why, at this moment, she saw some of her father's shadow from Lynch's body.

She didn't know if it was right to describe it, but this was how she felt at this time, but Lynch was younger, but his temperament, bearing, his calmness, his confidence, and even his smile gave people a very special feeling.

People can trust what he says and what he does, feel safe, and feel like he's someone to rely on.

"Economic warfare?", repeated the gentleman who had asked the question earlier, "this idea is novel and interesting, and it looks like we have a good subject in the evening, so Mr. Lynch, can you elaborate on it?"

Lynch nodded to the gentleman again, and said yes.

At the same time, he also noticed a small detail, people were making way for this gentleman, which also indicated that he must be a great man, at least with a respectable status.

"Of course, sir. ”

"You can call me Trueman......"

At this time, Mr. Wardrick, who came from nowhere, walked not far from Lynch and reminded him softly, "Mr. Trueman is currently a special adviser to the President's Cabinet, responsible for the discussion and formulation of international policies. ”

Lynch nodded his gratitude to Mr. Wodrik, Special Adviser on International Policy, which is no ordinary position.

In fact, before the event began, Lynch had already heard a piece of gossip from other people in the past two days, and it was said that Mr. President had decided to add a new office to the Cabinet, which was called the "Office of International Policy Research."

The work of this office is to study international trends and formulate policies against international trends, which include not only politics but also the military, in other words, it may not be so visible, but it is definitely an important department.

Truman is currently the top executive of the yet-to-be-established office and His Excellency the President's most relied upon advisor on international affairs/policy.

As for Lynch's feeling that his voice is somewhat familiar, it is actually that he watched a political talk show performed by Trueman.

In the process of overthrowing the old president of the "Demon King" and pushing the new president to power, many people are working hard, and Truman is also involved.

The hiccup lasted less than thirty seconds before Lynch began to make his point.

"I'm a businessman, and I sometimes see things differently than other people. ”

"Looking at all the countries involved in this world war, I don't know if others have noticed, but I have found something that deserves my attention, and that is the role and status of money in the war. ”

"Wealth plays a much more role in war than we think, and many people think that war is all it takes to have soldiers, but in fact there is money, a lot of money. ”

"I've asked some arms dealers, and they've told me that even a small encounter, even a big victory, can knock out hundreds of thousands of munitions, and there can be tens of thousands of battle losses. ”

"The end of this war that has affected most of the world is not that no one admits that they are on the wrong side, but that some people have no money and can't fight, so they have to surrender!"

"I believe that war is not only a fight for military strength, but also a fight for the comprehensive strength and wealth of the entire country!"

Lynch's tone was a little heavier, "Especially money, money plays an extremely important role in war. ”

"We can have no people, but if we have the money, we can hire people who are willing to risk their lives for the money to fight for us!"

"But if we don't have money, even if each of our boys is not afraid of death, all the boys together can't beat a firepower company that holds the position!"

"So can we change our thinking a little, the war is not actually fought by people, but by money?!"

"If our goal is only to make some forces surrender as if they were defeated, can we do it without experiencing artillery fire and only through economic warfare?"

This point of view is easy for people to accept, even if there are many fools here, but fools also know that a small-scale, victorious encounter will lose hundreds of thousands, so a large-scale battle will cost even more.

Many of them looked thoughtful, they may have noticed this problem before, but they didn't study it in depth, or didn't think about it carefully.

Now that Lynch suddenly took out these things and said them, it seemed that some things that they didn't understand were suddenly enlightened.

Especially the last few sentences of Lynch, directly named the core of what he said before, war is to fight money, if you skip this joint of specific people and directly hit money, okay?

If it comes to war, the Federation may not be very good, but of course it may be very good, the Federation has not participated in a large-scale group war, and no one knows whether the Federation's military strength will be good or not.

But if you want to talk about playing money, then the strength of the Federation is definitely the first in the world!

All of a sudden, the ideas spread by Lynch were implanted in the minds of some people, deeply implanted into them, and began to accept the watering of new ideas, and began to take root and sprout!
