0333 We Are Invincible [Chapter by: YellowTail Title Plus 5/5 ]
In just one day, Lynch magically united most of the Confederates.
In a society where the economy is in a severe recession, people lack jobs, and most people are barely able to make ends meet, someone needs to slap them in the face and cheer them up.
Lynch's words have the effect that when material things cannot meet people's needs, it is also a good way to meet people's spiritual needs, people need to divert their attention, and rulers need to divert contradictions.
"I watched this young man's impromptu speech, and do you know what kind of changes he said?" said a long-lost smile on Mr. President's face in the office of the presidential palace.
He casually fiddled with a small ornament on the table, "The military people have been running to the Ministry of Defense since this morning, and they have also handed over some documents to me. β
He pointed to some of the document bags on the table, "Especially the navy, they have taken the initiative to apply to exterminate the pirates wandering in the eastern ocean, and some consortiums are even willing to pay for this operation." β
It stands to reason that no matter how arrogant the capitalists are, they will not be able to interfere with the actions of the military, but the Baile Confederation is a free country, and phenomena that are absolutely impossible in a monarchical state abound.
There were even people who sued the president, just because the president improvised a swear word in his speech so that his youngest son learned to swear all day long, and when he lectured him, he also said that it was Mr. President who said it, and ordinary people as fathers could not accuse him, so the father took Mr. President to court.
There are only two places in the federal government where presidential-level politicians can be tried, the first is the Supreme Court, which represents the symbol of federal justice, presided over by at least three or more tenured justices, or in Congress, by the president of the Senate.
Mr. President, who was later taken to court, apologized to the federal public in front of the camera and promised not to say any more swear words - "I will never fucking swear again, I swear!"
Although in reality this kind of assurance is useless, on the contrary, because he swears makes some people think that he is very personal and real, and therefore likes him.
This may be a model of a successful person, but ordinary people don't know and don't care about it.
If this kind of thing were to be put in a country with a monarchical system, let alone the father, the whole family might have to be hanged in the square to remind those commoners that the monarchy cannot be provoked.
This is also the biggest difference between the monarchy and the Byle Federation, they use the repressive regime and the reign of terror to force people to fear them, but in the Federation, the ruler just throws money on the ground, and people naturally bend down.
Some consortia were attacked by pirates overnight, as if at the same time, and they sent a sum of money to a military-designated account through legal "military spending".
As long as the Navy acts, whether the operation fails or succeeds, the money will eventually be transferred to the Navy's military account, which is the most typical military and civilian fun of the Bailer Federation.
Mr. President did not show any negative expression when he said this, but he just found it very interesting, "The Minister of Defense also personally asked me how to deal with the provocations of foreign forces, and it seems that they are in a unified mind. β
Trueman keenly captured Mr. President's expression when he said the word "Secretary of Defense", "His attitude?"
"Attitude?", Mr. President looked up at Trueman, and quickly reacted, "Oh yes, his attitude is great, he talks like a well-behaved sheep, maybe I found a way!"
He sighed a little, "You're right, Trueman, I should have listened to you earlier!"
Mr. President's biggest problem at the moment is that the military is not pandering to him, but to a more extreme, radical candidate, who is also the party candidate of the Progressive Party.
In the words of the committee chairman, the candidate was only trying to bring out Mr. President and help him win, but in fact this kind of sudden backstabbing by the runner has happened more than once.
Some politicians who keep saying that they will not stand until the last end have brought down one opponent after another without paying attention, and reluctantly accepted people's choices, and this time it must be the same.
The military likes that aggressive attitude, likes his talk of expanding the army and plans to update all military equipment, and the arms dealers and consortia in the federation also like it, which means that countless orders will not only get their stock price back up, but also make them a lot of money.
Where there is money, there is an incentive to support.
Is Mr. President indifferent to all this?
In fact, he also has ideas, and he hired Truman as the top director of the Office of International Policy/Affairs Research to show his attitude, but sometimes once the political position is determined, it cannot be easily shaken, otherwise those who followed him in the past will give up on him.
Even if he really wanted to tell those people in the Ministry of Defense that he was willing to expand the army and renew it, he couldn't express it.
Now the situation has changed somewhat, and the problem that has plagued him has suddenly been solved, and if the military wants to launch a military strike, it will definitely ask the Ministry of Defense to agree.
If the Ministry of Defense disagrees, it must first ask Mr. President, and only Mr. President does not object -- if Mr. President is against it, then the military operation must be stopped, but he can disagree and not object, which means that the responsibility will be borne by the person in charge of the Ministry of Defense, and of course the credit will not be given to the President.
But if the president agrees, the responsibility is his, and the credit is his.
In order not to object, the Minister of Defense chatted with him in a very soft tone and attitude, not at all like a soldier, which made him see an opportunity to win over the military.
That candidate won't be able to sit in this chair for at least two years before he can sign it, but he can, and he's still having an advantage.
"It's not too late, Mr. President!", Trueman added in time.
"Yes, yes, it's not ......too late," he said, looking at Mr. Trueman, "I have a question, are we really as powerful and invincible as Lynch said?"
Trueman, as a radical representative of the military hidden in the side of the moderate president and a pioneer of military reform, would certainly support this statement.
With a very firm, very affirmative, with a certain slightly excited emotion, he said the words in his heart sonorously, "We are invincible!"
While Mr. President and Mr. Trueman were discussing the next work and changes in the situation, and how to change the negotiation strategy with Nagalil, their imaginary enemy, whom they used as a shield, and in fact Mr. Preton, who was not talking nonsense, was chatting with one of his old friends.
β...... Did you receive the things I had sent you last time?", Mr. PretΓ³n spoke not in the lingua franca, but in the official language of Gavre, and was spoken to Admiral and Minister of the Navy.
Mr. Preton, who had served in the military and was a naval officer, later became involved in the trade for some reason, but his relationship with the Gavre's Navy never stopped.
Some of his mentors and friends are now in high positions after the war, and the officers and generals who did not die in the world war have been significantly promoted, which has also made him more widely known in the Gavra Navy.
Hearing what Mr. Preton said, Gavra's Admiral suddenly chuckled, "I have received it, my wife likes it very much, is there anything to contact me this time?"
The question is very direct, this is also the style of the relationship between the two, and the military does not have so much nonsense.
Preton pondered for a moment, but did not speak immediately, and the Admiralty on the other side of the phone asked, "This is not like you, tell me, what trouble is there?"
"The people of the Baile Federation intend to attack my power in the Eastern Ocean, and I am a little worried, I may not be able to resist. "No one can stand up to a rising and powerful nation on the scale of an individual or an organization!"
"The Byler Federation?", the Admiralt was a little puzzled by the opponent provoked by his old friend, "tell me what happened between you......
Mr. Preton briefly recounted, and the whole process was very neutral and impartial, because he knew very well that the powerful person on the other side of the phone would verify the truth of what he said in more than one way the moment he hung up the phone.
Lying at this time is undoubtedly a punch to himself, he is not so stupid.
After hearing these things from Mr. Preton, the Lord of the Admiralty was silent for a while, and then he said the answer that Mr. Preton wanted.
"We all hate the Byle Federation, it doesn't do anything when it goes to war, and when we start reaping the fruits of victory, it jumps out. β
"Whether it is at home or abroad, many people are very dissatisfied with it, maybe this is an opportunity. β
"I can't give you any guarantees, but I can help you in some ways, not only me, but many people have long wanted to see the military strength of this country that claims to be free of technology. β
"Take care of your own safety, I'll get you a message when there's a further result......"
After hanging up the phone, Mr. Preton didn't show much of a smile on his face, nor did he look frustrated, which he expected.
As an international businessman, he provided Guevra with countless pieces of information every year, not to mention the benefits he gave to high-ranking officials in the country in private.
He is very sensitive to international politics, don't look at the fact that now the Bayle Federation has joined the allies of the victorious countries and has become one of the victors, in fact, there are always some people who look at the Bayle Federation unpleasantly.
They have gone through the baptism of war to get to their current status, and a country that has not even experienced war is talking about the distribution of international benefits as soon as it comes up, isn't it a joke?
On the surface, everyone is talking and laughing, but in fact, they are all planning to stab each other behind the scenes, and this diplomatic incident is a good opportunity, and Gavra and the others will definitely take the opportunity to meet the navy of the Baile Federation to determine the next trend of some ongoing negotiations.
It's just that Mr. Preton knows very well that if the Gavra Navy wins, then not only will he not be killed, and his position will be worry-free, but he will also get more practical benefits from it.
But if Gavra's navy loses, his life will also be lost, and someone will have to pay for it.
As for the Gavra Navy will lose?
He sneered and shook his head, turned and walked to the balcony, looking at the free people in the street that had not been baptized by fire.
How could it be possible to lose?
