Chapter 268: The relationship between war and money

The war exhaustion of the federal people originated from some battlefield documentary films in the early stages of this world war. Some federal reporters went to the forefront of the battle with the heart of betting on their lives, interviewing and shooting a large amount of material to send back to the Federation.

These war reporters did quickly become household names throughout the Federation, but they did not realize it, nor did the citizens of the Federation realize that it was these real battlefield records that made the Federation people fear war.

Taking into account the difficulty of recording movies on the battlefield, these movies are all in the form of silent movies, from the beginning of the first frame to the end of the last second, there is no sound at all.

On TV and in the cinema, people said that maybe they were still laughing, looking forward to the front-line scenes. After all, there has been no war in this place for a long time, and there is no friction with other countries.

People have long forgotten the cruelty of war, and only remembered the romance that did not exist in the war. A few years before the outbreak of the war, someone made a film that won an award, called "Beautiful Cannonball", a romantic movie. The war between love and romance has left a false impression on the two generations of the Federation who have not experienced war.

It was not until these real images began to impact people's hearts that people realized that war is not romantic, nor is it something to be expected.

Bullets, invisible bullets are like death's sickle, randomly and randomly harvesting lives on the battlefield. In the screen, there are soldiers who suddenly shake their bodies backwards or raise their heads, and the whole person quickly falls down and twitches a few times. Dead body.

There was no sound of bullets roaring, no screams before death, watching some undead soldiers screaming silently with fearful and miserable faces under the camera. Every member of the Federation was excited and looking forward to it. Turn to silence.

This is the case every time it is played, people begin to remain silent, and the cruel war breaks everyone's unrealistic illusions. There is no love, there is no fighting of wits, there are only people who die and are executed.

One person after another died, with one's own and others. There was a memorable scene. A shell fell beside the war reporter. After a rapid shaking, the camera fell to the ground, followed by some black liquid covering. Live part of the lens.

Then the camera seemed to be picked up by someone, but it fell back to the ground while shaking, and then a war correspondent fell in front of the camera, and several fragments penetrated his body directly.

He knelt on the ground and pouted his ass, his upper body hanging weakly on the ground. This funny picture made people laugh, because a living life was dying.

He was vomiting blood, a bit like a nausea, his chest bulged, and then a gulp of blood flowed out of his mouth and nostrils, followed by some more blood foam.

He was not completely dead at this time. He tried to straighten up, but he had no strength anymore. His arms supported the ground several times without supporting his body, and his chest undulated more and more violently. In the end, his body trembled violently, and everything was calm.

When he died, his eyes were staring at the camera, as if he had foreseen his final fate. What he left to the Federation did not want to show fearlessness or courage to death, or warn him, he only It left the federal people with endless fear.

Everyone is afraid of death. When people watch a Federation member die on the battlefield in such a tragic way and die in front of the camera, people clearly watch the pain, struggle, and powerlessness of the last half-minute of his life, and the emotion of war weariness. It broke out in an instant.

You must know that before this, the federal government had not actually considered pursuing an isolation policy. Even the president and the president's cabinet at the time were still considering the issue of standing in line, and they planned to actively join it.

However, this inexplicable and sudden wave of war exhaustion instantly gave the Conservative Party a stage to display. They obeyed the people's righteousness, proposed isolationism, and won the support of all the people.

Everyone is afraid of death. Not only are they afraid of death themselves, but they are also afraid of their relatives and friends dying on the battlefield, just like reporters in the camera.

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

In fact, it is not only the bottom of society that has war weariness, this emotion is like an infection, and it makes the middle and high levels of society also have war weariness.

Of course, war exhaustion does not mean that they do not want to contact the international community. This is not the same thing.

Everyone was watching Lynch. Lynch's performance was exceptionally calm, and it seemed that he didn't have the slightest timidity from the gaze of the innumerable big shots.

He smiled calmly and restrained, standing a little outside the crowd, Severilla looked at Lynch in a dazed manner, not knowing why, at this moment, she saw some of her father's shadow from Lynch.

She doesn’t know if it’s right to describe it, but she feels like this at this time. It’s just that Lynch is younger, but his temperament, tolerance, his calmness, his self-confidence, and even his smile all give people a feeling. Very special feeling.

People can trust what he says and what he does, feel safe, and feel that he is a person to rely on.

"Economic war?" The gentleman who asked the question before repeated, "This point of view is very novel and interesting. It seems that we have a good theme for the evening. So Mr. Lynch, can you elaborate on it?"

Lynch nodded to the gentleman again, and also said yes.

At the same time, he also noticed a small detail, people are giving way to this gentleman, which also indicates that he must be a great person, at least with a respectable identity.

"Of course, sir."

"You can call me Truman..."

At this moment, Mr. Wardrick, who didn't know where he came from, walked to a place not far from Lynch and reminded him softly, "Mr. Truman is currently a special adviser to the President's Cabinet, responsible for the discussion and formulation of international policies."

Lynch nodded his head to express his gratitude to Mr. Wardrick, special adviser on international policy, this is not an ordinary position.

In fact, in the past two days before the event started, Lynch had already heard a gossip from other people. It is said that Mr. President decided to add a new office to the cabinet, called the "International Policy Research Office."

The job of this office is to study international trends and formulate policies aimed at international trends. It includes not only politics, but also military. In other words, it may not be so eye-catching, but it is definitely a very important department. .

Truman is currently the chief executive of this unestablished office, and the international affairs/policy adviser the President relies on most.

As for Lynch thinks that his voice is somewhat familiar, it is actually that he has watched a political talk show that Truman cooperated with.

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

This small interruption lasted less than thirty seconds, and Lynch continued to state his point of view.

"I am a businessman, and sometimes I see things differently from others."

"Throughout all the participating countries in this world war, I don't know if others have noticed it, but I have found something worthy of my attention, that is, the role and status of money in the war."

"Wealth plays a more important role in wars than we thought. Many people think that as long as there are soldiers in wars, there is actually money, a lot of money."

"I have asked some arms dealers and they told me that even a small encounter, even a big victory, may destroy hundreds of thousands of ammunition, and there may also be tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of ammunition. Battle damage situation."

"At the end of this war that has affected most of the world, it was not who admitted that they were on the wrong side, but some people had no money and couldn't fight it anymore, so they had to surrender!"

"I think that war is not only fighting for military power, but also fighting for the overall strength and wealth of the entire country!"

Lynch's tone was a little heavier, "Especially money, the role of money in war is extremely important."

"We can have no one, but if we have money, we can hire people who are willing to take risks for money to fight for us!"

"But if we don't have money, even if every one of our lads is not afraid of death, all the lads together will not be able to defeat a firepower company that sticks to the ground!"

"Then can we change our minds a bit, the war is actually not people, but money?!"

"If our goal is to make some forces surrender like a defeat, can we achieve it only through economic wars without experiencing artillery fire?"

This view was easily accepted by people~lightnovelpub.net~ Even though many people here are fools, fools know that a small-scale encounter that wins will cost hundreds of thousands of losses. , Then a large-scale battle will cost even more.

Many people showed a thoughtful look. They may have noticed this problem before, but did not study it in depth or consider it carefully.

Now Lynch suddenly took these things out and said, it seemed that something they didn't understand suddenly came to their senses.

In particular, Lynch’s last few sentences directly named the core of what he said before. War is to fight money. If you skip the joint of specific people and directly fight money, can you?

If you talk about war, the Federation may not be good at it, of course, it may also be good. The Federation has not participated in a large-scale group war, and no one knows whether the Federation's military power will work.

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

For a while, the ideas that Lynch had spread were planted in some people's heads, deeply planted in them, and began to receive the watering of new thoughts, and began to take root and sprout!
