Chapter 0357 The Spirit of Internationalism

The conditions in any negotiation are flexible and negotiable, and these can be easily changed, but what is really difficult to change is the attitude.

Now the attitude of the Nagalil delegation has changed in a new way, and perhaps Lynch scared them.

Regardless of their own power - a country that cannot even produce its own bullets, and even fuel needs to be imported through the Pretton comptoir, why talk about the word "military power"?

They have no power, they don't have their own power, and their police, their soldiers, can only function when they drive away and beat ordinary people.

As for going to war with the Bylor Federation on the battlefield?

It was always just a fantasy of their rulers when they seemed to be asleep, and when they did fall asleep, their subconscious would refuse to admit it.

If they can't gain some kind of respect through their own strength, would it be a good option to resort to the power of Gevre?

It is not a good choice to start a war with the military power of Gevra as well as the Baylor Federation, when the whole of Nagalil will become the front line, there will be flying shells everywhere, and the war will destroy their homeland, whether Gevra wins or the Federation wins, they will face a more troubled end.

War reparations, and mercenary war expenses, in fact, they often mean the same thing, a kind of extortion, a kind of blackmail.

After thinking about it, the Delegation had unified its ideas, but what no one knew was that the Delegation's views were not in fact in line with those of the central Government of the United Kingdom of Nagalil.

The idea of the central government was to continue to delay until a naval battle had been fought between the Byle Federation and the Royal Navy of Gevra before making a decision.

Whoever wins will lean on his side.

Such a decision guarantees Nagalil's rights and interests to the greatest extent, they will not ignite the war on Nagalil's land, they do not need to pay or compensate too much, and they can be 100% on the side of the victors.

The idea is wonderful, but the problem is that they don't have the ability to do that.

Unbeknownst to everyone, the Nagalil delegation had decided to leave it to themselves to conduct the next negotiations, and that was precisely the main reason for the change in the delegation's attitude.

They want to get rid of Nagalil's domestic ideas and negotiate cooperation with the Bail Federation, and at the same time represent the Nagalil official, which is probably the biggest problem with Nagalil's social system, and these problems are also manifested in its name - the United Kingdom.

There was nothing that those people in the delegation could not agree with in order to ensure that their interests were not harmed.

In fact, Lynch felt that if Mr. Trueman's attitude had been tougher and he had found someone to continue to intimidate the delegation, they might not have agreed to make the federal sol legal tender for Nagalil, at least in some provincial capitals.

It doesn't sound like a diplomatic negotiation, but it's the most normal diplomatic negotiation, and grace and power always coexist.

"I'm going to add some additional clauses......," Lynch offered some of his own thoughts after reading the full minutes of the third negotiation.

Mr. Trueman poured some wine for the two of them, sat down across from Lynch, and took out a notebook and a pen, ready to record what Lynch said.

Seeing him so serious, Lynch felt a little funny, "You make me feel a little embarrassed to do this." ”

Mr. Trueman replied very seriously, "This is my respect for you, at least in my opinion, although you are a businessman, many times you care more about the country than a politician!"

This sentence came from his feelings during this time, and before that, Mr. Trueman's attitude towards businessmen and capitalists was not very friendly, and he did not like those who only saw interests, interests and interests.

But what happened during this period of time made him gradually change some of his views on the world, and compared to those politicians who can lose their positions for money or anything, Lynch, some of his ideas are more conducive to the long-term development of the country.

His words made Lynch's expression change slightly, he didn't know what had happened during his absence from Boupayn, but he could feel that Mr. Trueman's mood and attitude were not the same as before.

If the other party is willing to tell him, then Mr. Trueman will definitely say, and if he is not willing to say, Lynch will not ask.

He threw away the distractions of this moment, sorted out what he wanted to express, and said, "First of all, let's talk about some ...... that are not suitable for expression."

Lynch took a sip from his glass, and the spirit with ice cubes became less spicy, and the low temperature made it easy to drink, and at the same time had the effect of being a spirit.

He held out two fingers with his hand holding the glass, and pointed casually without any real point, "Preton can't die, or if he dies, we have to create a situation where he is still alive." ”

"I've thought about it these days, a living Preton, a living Preton in every sense of the word, is more in our interests in the Eastern Ocean than a dead dog. ”

"We all know that he is the leader of the pirate group, and in order to prevent him and the remnants of the pirate group from retaliating against us, we need to establish safe shipping lanes in the Eastern Ocean for the passage of merchant ships, including but not limited to those of our own country and Nagalil......"

Trueman's subordinates, who were struggling to write, suddenly stopped writing, and he looked up at Lynch in some shock, "I almost thought I was sitting in the ruler's hall of Gavrera right now!"

The Ruler's Hall was the place where the Emperor of the Gevra Empire handled his work and was part of the Imperial Palace, where every few days the most powerful people of the Gevra Empire would gather to discuss some government affairs.

What he meant by this was that he felt that the content of Lynch's expression did not have the characteristics of the Federation at all, but was more like the words of an imperial minister full of imperial hegemony.

What establishes a safe shipping lane in the eastern ocean is nothing more than armed cruising of warships in a non-combat state.

The advantages of this are obvious, the Federal Navy can have a clear grasp of the situation in all parts of the Eastern Ocean, and at the same time have a clear grasp of the defense of the coasts of some countries, the distribution of resources in some areas.

On the other hand, when the need arises, these warships can immediately rush to the place of war, and they are also more covert, and they are also a deterrent to all countries.

No one knows where those ships are at this moment, it is possible that they are far, far away from a certain area, but it is also possible that in a few minutes, some coastal town will be shelled.

It's just that these practices are not very federal, and the federation has never shown to be so aggressive.

However, Lynch also found some reasons for his thoughts, that is, Preton could not die, his pirate group could not be completely destroyed, with these excuses, then the warships of the Federation were in a state of combat readiness all the time, and no one could find a problem.

Mr. Truman was a little emotional, who else could be more patriotic than Lynch?

While politicians were debating the benefits of speaking up for interest groups, Lynch was thinking about expanding the country's influence and power in the Eastern Ocean, and it was he who made Mr. Trueman change some of his views on businessmen.

Lynch laughed, "Should I take this as a compliment?"

The two smiled and raised their glasses, and Lynch continued, "We need a supply point, let's not talk about other places, we need to draw a deep-water port in Nagalil as a port for the Federation Navy to resupply and renovate in the Eastern Ocean." ”

Mr. Trueman, who had not been recording for long, stopped his pen again, and he frowned, "It may not be easy, if we put the navy at the door of Nagalil, they will definitely be worried, because we can attack Nagalil anytime and anywhere." ”

Lynch's brain was spinning fast at this time, and he said directly, "What if the Preton Pirate Group continues to harass their coastal areas and carry out revenge-ready plundering and attacks?"

He leaned back on the couch, crossed his legs, and patted some of the inconspicuous dust on his trouser legs, "Constant harassment, they don't have the ability to attack a coastal city, but they can plunder resources and set fire to important buildings in the city." ”

"Once they can bear it, twice, three times...... That's the United Kingdom, and every province is like ......," Lynch paused suddenly, and he shook his head, "No, each province is an independent kingdom, and someone will agree." ”

"Once we acquire this military port in Nagalil, the range of our armed deterrence in the Eastern Ocean will increase dramatically!"

Mr. Trueman continued, "Preton and the pirate forces he was involved in were chased around by us, so we built military ports in more places and protected more people, right?"

Lynch nodded, "That's true, this is a great spirit of selfless dedication to the world!"

"Yes, yes, great sentiments, you really look like a politician when you are shameless!", Mr. Trueman laughed, and sometimes he himself thought it strange that he could be some kind of very close friend to Lynch, who was much younger than himself.

It's amazing that he also tried to get to know and make friends with other young people, like his children, but he failed.

Perhaps only Lynch is special and the only one.

When his laughter gradually stopped, he looked at Lynch, his eyes flickering a little, "Haven't you thought about politics?"

"The federal charter and laws allow politicians to have jobs in addition to government jobs and to do business. His tone and expression were a little expectant, "You don't need to throw away anything in your hands at all to become a politician, and being a politician will bring you a lot of benefits and conveniences!"

"If you could become a member of Congress...... No, you're going to be a member of Congress, and then you don't need anybody's political influence to make your voice heard, isn't that good?"

He wasn't very enthusiastic about forming parties at first, and Boupayn had too many political circles for him to join.

But what happened during this period made him realize that he can't do it alone, and if he wants to really do something for the country and the people, someone must stand with him.

Lynch is a good choice, they work well together on certain issues, and there is no conflict of interest.

Facing Mr. Trueman's gaze, Lynch shook his head, "No, I haven't thought about it, at least not yet. ”
