The atmosphere in the conference room was a little heavy.

The policy of neutrality has always been the policy platform of Lemar's various parties. They are far away from other countries, and their lonely perseverance is in the Eastern Ocean.

There is no need for them to establish diplomatic relations with other countries, and there is no need for them to be involved in those terrible wars.

But now, they seem to be being forced to make a choice!

This incident is not a simple isolated incident, it is actually the result of the stacking of many choices.

Mr. President is a little disappointed. In fact, he regrets it a little now, and the senior members of the Democratic Party also regret it a little. If he had agreed to the federation at that time, he might not be so troubled now.

In fact, Lemar's feelings for the Federation are still a little deeper than for Pentio.

At least they were all neutrals once, during the First World War. .

At some point their political stance was also unified, and it was easier to accept the Commonwealth than the Pengios.

But now, the problem has become a little more complicated.

In the end, Mr. President did not make a decision immediately, but discussed it first, and then decided how to contact after discussing a unified result.

The Federation has "own people" in Lemar. When the cloud of war suddenly enveloped the world, the Federation began to actively start the "Dandelion Project".

Dandelion is a very interesting plant. When its seeds mature, the seeds will gather in the corolla and become a fluffy ball, and then blown by the wind, these seeds will be scattered everywhere with the wind.

The core of the Dandelion Project is like this floating seed.

It is possible that tens of thousands of special workers scattered around the world after Pongio began to recruit.

Many of them are lurkers who live locally and integrate into local life.

Because they still have time, they still have a year or two, enough for them to settle down.

The other small part is constantly buying the middle and high level of various countries.

This is nothing to be ashamed of, everything is for the national security of the Commonwealth.

At the secret meeting of the Congressional Appropriations Committee, it was said that a lot of money was used to acquire middle and high-level officials and key officials in these countries.

In Lemar, someone was also bought.

So that night, Mr. Trueman got the news.

What he cares about is not Lemar's president, his cabinet members, and some issues discussed between the ADP, but the Pentio people, who found Lemar at this time.

Soon a world map appeared in front of him. As a former senior soldier, he knew very well how the map should look.

In fact, whether it is Sedoras or Lemar, they are both in the northeast direction of the Federation, in other words, if the Pengios are to attack from this direction, then the northern part of the east coast will become the front line.

But Mr. Truman's eyes continued to the north - Mariro.

Everyone knew that Penggio had the strongest army in the world, and they would not simply fight a landing battle with the Federation on the Federation's territory.

This is not in line with the spirit and ideology of Pongio's powerful army, so he believes that the eyes of Pongio's people should be on Mariro.

Marillo had achieved freedom with the "help" of the Confederates, who began to learn to oppose and resist violence, which just made it seem like they were in anarchy.

Of course, this is also an inevitable process towards freedom and fairness. Only when it is first spread out and then closed again can it become a whole.

The lack of a unified regime in their territory, and once the Pengios landed from Mariro...

That would be a disaster for the Federation!

While researching Pengio's past war history, Mr. Trueman discovered a less interesting phenomenon.

The Pengios are very good at getting the conquered on their side, and then go with them to conquer others!

Once they land in the Marillo territory, and the Marinos are not their opponents, it is very likely that the Pengios will take the Marinos to form a more terrifying ground force and launch the front ground offensive from the north!

This is absolutely a disaster for the Federation!

The only good news right now is that some areas in the north are now depopulated because of the cold weather, so that these areas can be brought into a state of war without the need to mobilize ordinary people out of their homes.

He thought about it for a moment, and then recorded the matter in a notebook. He needed to communicate with those in the Department of Defense to discuss it.

And this also increasingly shows the importance of Lemar. It is like a springboard between two worlds. Whoever grasps this place first can stop the opponent from easily causing damage to himself.

To the south of the Eastern Ocean, close to the equator and the tropics, there are many islands. These islands can block the footsteps of the enemy's attack, but it is not as simple as the north.

Once the Pengios had a firm footing in Lemar, Mr. Truman didn't think Sedoras would be able to withstand their invasion of Marillo.

The reason is very simple, with Lemar as a supply station, their transport ships can completely bypass Sedoras and approach Mariro from a further north direction or other direction.

Sedoras can only be said to be a nail, nailing the large-scale operations of the Eastern Ocean, but there is no good way for small-scale or rapid invasions!

And Sedoras is Sedoras after all, it is not a state of the Federation, and there are many things that are not so easy to do.

The Sedoras can afford a port and a nearby island to build fortifications for the Federals, and they can't ask for more.

This also means that Lemar will become very important!

National matters are dealt with significantly faster in the Commonwealth than those that are… not particularly important.

Lynch was also asked to attend the meeting because he was the contractor for the Port Modric fortifications.

On this island, he not only built a large military port, but also built a large airport, and built many forts on the surrounding small islands.

If the strategy changes, Lynch can make timely adjustments here.

The entire meeting was rather boring, and most of the time was spent in silence. In the end, the strategic command believed that there was more than half of the possibility that the Pengios would open the situation from Mariro.

This is indeed a disaster for the Federation. Once the local war starts, no matter whether it wins or loses, it is an unbearable failure for the Federation!

"We can control Lemar first..." An officer of the strategic command put forward his own thoughts, "On the one hand, we can do these possible preventions."

"We can first arrange some fortifications at important hubs in the north, and arrange some mines in the sea area of ​​​​Mariro East Ocean."

"Then proceeded to have Lemar on our side." He glanced at Lynch and smiled, "I personally suggest that now the construction of Port Modric can be stopped on the surface, and we can talk to Lemar first. A second round of diplomatic negotiations."

Lynch has no attitude towards this. He said that he can stop or start work at any time. Anyway, the federal government's military budget is not short of his money, and he has given what should be given, and the remaining balance is not much.

Exchange of attitude for diplomacy is a very common diplomatic method, which is also a manifestation of sincerity.

Mr. Truman is now in charge of diplomacy. After thinking about it, he agreed first.

To make a decision without touching it is an act of irresponsibility to yourself, to your job, and to the future of the Commonwealth!

Lynch originally wanted to go first, but Mr. Trueman wanted to tell him something and asked him to wait.

In the end, it took about forty minutes.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Pulling open the car door and getting into the car, Mr. Trueman apologized to Lynch for taking so long to come out, and then he sighed, "More and more things are bothering me, and for the first time I find that my energy is a little bit... Can't keep up."

As the war drew nearer, some members of the World Development Council expressed hope that the Federals would better send some troops to help them resist the onslaught of Pongio's army.

Those who expressed this willingness were all small countries, which themselves did not have any strong military confrontation capabilities.

Now the Federation is the core country and is in the development stage. If it is rejected, it will not be very good.

But if you agree, it will weaken the Federation's own strategic plan. Now that Penggio has started to launch diplomatic tactics, maybe the war will break out in the first half of next year!

For the first time, Mr. Truman felt that there was not enough time and energy. Even if he worked until two or three o'clock in the evening every day, and got up at eight o'clock in the morning to continue working, there was still unfinished business.

Lynch looked at him tiredly rubbing his cheeks with a half-smile, "Actually, we have easy choices for some things, but for some reasons we don't want to make ourselves so easy."

Mr. Trueman turned his head to look at Lynch, and he felt that there was something else in Lynch's words.

Lynch smiled, "If Lemar's president can't be on our side, then why don't we switch to another president who supports us in the final period?"

"There are also many political parties in their country~lightnovelpub.net~ There are also many regional forces, which can be used."

"There will always be someone willing to stand on our side, we just need to give them a hand!"

Mr. Truman was thoughtful, a consideration that was actually discussed when they discussed it in small circles.

But in the end, they opted for a more complicated approach.

Sometimes people are always bound by human ethics and moral principles. They know that some problems are easy to solve, but they always see troublesome solutions.

It is not difficult to cross over.

Mr. Trueman did not answer, but seemed to have some new decisions in mind.

He then talked about what he was going to say to Lynch.

"I'm too busy during this time to take care of the election office. If you have time, please take care of it for me."

"There are not many people I can trust, and there are even fewer people who can help me at this time. You are one!"
