If you can……

Everyone wants to be in control of their own destiny!

The Republic of Lemar is located in the north-central part of the Eastern Ocean, and the country had no sense of existence before.

Because it is too far from this world!

Far, refers to its distance from other countries, the distance.

Except for some ocean-going trade, few people will travel to Lemar, and the people of Lemar will not travel to other countries.

If technology is not developed, people will not go far!

Perhaps the farthest place people can go at first is around their own living area, but with the advancement of science, people have been able to go further.

The world has not changed, technology has made the world smaller.

The people of Lemar had nothing to worry about before, but now they have.

The Republic of Lemar consists of nineteen districts of the Lemar Archipelago, and the President is directly elected by the people of these nineteen districts. .

The biggest difference between it and the federation is that people's right to appoint and remove the president has been expanded. They can not vote for the presidential candidate selected by the party, but vote for anyone, including themselves!

However, if a directly elected president does not have a deep political foundation, he can only be a mascot.

In fact, there is no shortage of such mascot presidents in the history of Lemar. The appearance of the mascot president can actually be seen as another form of compromise under the sharpening of party contradictions.

With the rise of the mascot, the contradiction between the parties will tend to ease, until the next time it will intensify.

The current president of Lemar comes from the largest party in Lemar, the Democratic Party (the Party for the National Cause), and maintaining neutrality is the policy that the Democratic Party has always adhered to.

It was so before, and it is so now.

They were also nervous and worried for a while after they rejected a request from the Federal Foreign Office to build fortifications on the territory of Lemar.

It was just that the Federals did not show dissatisfaction with Lemar's decision, and launched any public opinion offensive or trade sanctions, which made Lemar relieved.

To be honest, the Federation is now putting more and more pressure on the international community, and people have also seen the role of technology in military and national power!

In the words of some people, isn't it that technology is ahead of other countries by maybe ten or twenty years?

Is this a chasm that cannot be bridged?

Obviously, yes!

When most countries' war methods were still flat wars, the federation had turned wars into three-dimensional wars.

This represents the crushing of dimensions, which is no longer a problem of strength and technology, but a different dimension.

Even though some countries have caught up now, the gap is still obvious.

The federal aircraft category is clearly differentiated, well-purposed, and well-designed.

It seems that the gap is not big, but it may take several times or even dozens of human lives to fill it on the battlefield, and it may not be able to fill the gap caused by these gaps!

The Lemar people do not intend to meddle in the war between these world powers, they just want to live in peace.

At nine o'clock in the morning, President Lemar woke up from his bed.

There is not much heavy industry in Lemar, mainly animal husbandry and seafood are the pillar industries of the country.

Almost everyone here is a sailor, and they work and fish at sea with the regulation of their families, villages or companies.

The caught things will be exported to the world in large quantities. Among the many products, large marine organisms are the most prominent.

Like whales, deep sea elephants, giant star seahorses (not a typo), etc., are a large proportion of exports.

Overall, this is a calm, moderate country without too many disputes.

Getting up at nine o'clock has already given the nation a "hard-working" impression of the president.

You know, most people get up at noon, because the leisurely life is enough for them to develop the habit of getting drunk in the middle of the night.

The location here is slightly north, and it will be colder in winter, so drinking and drinking spirits has become a habit of the whole people.

Watching TV and getting drunk at night is the norm for most people.

In the morning, not long after Mr. President, who drove to the Presidential Palace, sat down, the phone rang in the secretary's office outside the door.

He waited for a while, but still no one answered, it seems that the secretary has not come yet.

He walked to the secretary's office and looked at the phone that had been ringing. After a moment of silence, he still picked it up.

Originally, the secretary's job was to sort incoming calls. Now she may not get up, so as a hard-working president, he can only answer the phone by himself.

"This is the Office of the President's Secretary..." He introduced himself as usual.

On the opposite side, there was a non-local accent, but a very natural standard language pronunciation.

"Hello, I would like to visit Mr. President. I don't know what procedures to go through?"

This question suddenly stopped Mr. President.

How did he know what to do?

He never did this again.

After being stunned for a while, he quickly asked, "Ah, yes, what identity are you going to use to visit Mr. President?"

"Identity as a diplomat of Pengio..."

Half an hour later, Mr. President was a little nervous in his office. When the other party claimed that he was a diplomat of Pengio, he became nervous.

At this time, he was waiting for the arrival of the other party.

He was guessing what the diplomat would say after his arrival and how he would face it.

Not long after, someone knocked on the door, and the president came back to his senses and said, "Please come in."

The man who came in was a gentleman who looked at most forty years old. His clothes were very decent and noble. You didn't need him to open his mouth to feel the extraordinary aura from his body.

He must be a Pengio noble, the President thought so, and then invited the other party to sit down.

Pongio's diplomat complained a few words after he sat down.

"I called your foreign ministry, but it never got through..."

Mr. President was a little embarrassed. "The fishing season is coming, and the foreign minister has to go back and help."

Lemar is far away from the world, the role of the foreign ministry is very small, and even the foreign minister, in some respects, is not as powerful as the police chief of a certain district.

Not even as good as the Assistant Chief of Police.

The daily contact with the outside world may only help some agricultural products find opportunities for export when necessary. Apart from that, they have nothing to communicate with the outside world.

Closed, simple, unpretentious, that is the status quo of diplomacy here.

Now that spring has just started, and the returning fishing season is coming, this is a very important event of the year for Lemar.

It determines the income of people in this country at least in the first half of the year, so every day, the foreign minister who is messing around takes the initiative to ask for leave to go home and go to sea. Mr. President himself feels that there is no problem.

Who would contact foreign affairs at such an important time?

Pengjieao's diplomat was also stunned. He couldn't have imagined that the reason why he couldn't get through on the phone was that the foreign minister had gone back to fish.

This... ok!

Mr. President did not want to continue to be embarrassed, "So what is the purpose of your visit this time?"

Very direct, and Penggio's diplomats are equally direct, "We hope to help you resist the invasion of the Federals..."

Like the Federals, Mr. President smiled and said nothing, "The Federation does not intend to invade us."

"That's only temporary!" The diplomat was still pressing step by step, "The Federals are seeking a higher status in the international community, and they will become more aggressive than ever before."

"We recently collected some intelligence that they are building fortifications in the sea east of Sedoras, you should understand what this means."

Mr. President was stunned by the words of diplomat Penggio. He really didn't know what it meant, but he knew it was not a good phenomenon.

But this did not prevent him from showing a dignified expression. Although Lemar's situation is not as complicated as that of the Federation, for politicians, the basic quality of actors is still necessary.

"I don't know about this!" Mr. President lowered his voice, which made him seem to hide a trace of dissatisfaction, some anger!

The diplomats continued to press, "They used Lemar as an imaginary battlefield..."

"No, it's not hypothetical, they just intend to use Lemar as a battlefield, and that's their attitude."

"Mr. President, the only one who can save Lemar now is us!"

Soon, Mr. President said that he would consider it, and he did not immediately reply to the diplomat of Pengio, and then let the other party leave.

Immediately after, he called everyone and gathered them into his conference room.

When he repeated what the diplomat Penggio had said, everyone's expressions became... different.

Some showed dissatisfaction.

Some showed timidity.

Others showed subtle smiles.

In fact, what the diplomat Pontiero said was not wrong at all, but not entirely.

When Lemar refused to stand with the Federals, at least they were no longer allies~lightnovelpub.net~ You can't even take care of the Lemars because of the idea of ​​taking care of the Lemars, right?

Once the fortification in Sedoras, it means that Lemar becomes the front line, which is also something that can't be helped.

In the war that affects the world, no one can stay out of it (independent of all right and wrong, not involved in anything, and not affected by anything), it can only be said that this is not the problem of the Federation, but Lemar's own problem.

But obviously, they are not very comfortable with their own consequences, and the President is very dissatisfied with it.

"First get the foreign minister back, and secondly, we have to contact the Baylor Federation and ask what they mean."

Mr. President's emotions had been taken by Pongio's diplomats, and he was interrupted just as he was expressing his dissatisfaction with the federal actions.

"Mr. President, if we're not going to go to war with the Federals, we'd better remain independent on this matter!"

"Taking favor of the Pengios will destroy our neutrality policy!"
