Under the influence of Lynch, some of Mr. Truman's ideas have also undergone tremendous changes.

　　 He had attached great importance to the establishment of diplomatic relations with Nagalil. In addition to the things Lynch said, resources, and other things, he also hoped that there would be a group of allies around the Baylor Federation.

Everyone is very confused about the way forward. They don’t know whether the next step is to step on the road or sink into the mud. If the Federation has more allies, there will be more opportunities to share the pressure and more rejection. The confidence.

　　 But now, his thinking has changed. He doesn't want to admit that he is an adult who has been persuaded by a young man, but the fact is that he has been persuaded.

　　 Lynch’s words were miraculously cut into his nerve center along his most "vulnerable" place, making him tremble with enthusiasm.

　　All soldiers are willing to use brilliant wars to write their own medals, they are willing to defend the dignity of the country with iron and blood and heroism, and they are willing to shed blood and sacrifice for the prosperity of the country.

　　 Lynch’s words are in line with the appetite of Mr. Truman, who was a soldier. After he was persuaded, he would go to convince Mr. President. This time, he not only went by himself, but also invited others.

　　 One is the head of operations of the National Security Council, and the other is the Second Chief of National Defense. The three appear together in Mr. President’s office.

　　 Also in these two days, everyone knew that the Playton Pirate Group—the opponent they will face next is likely to be a chess piece supported by the Royal Navy of Gevlar.

　　 As we all know, some things are not easy to deal with in a national way, such as attacking merchant ships, fishing boats and even cruise ships of some hostile countries.

　　 If any country sends an army to do this kind of thing, it will definitely attract a storm of public opinion.

　　 Gefra is a monarchy country. The emperor cherishes his own skin very much, so supporting a person who does dirty work becomes his best choice, which is also the favorite way of most politicians.

　　 Once this naval battle against pirates starts, it is very likely that the Federation will be pushed to an unknown place.

The Conservative Party, which has been silent for a long time these days, has also stepped up and criticized some of the ideas of the Progressive Party in the media, believing that blindly launching a military attack on the unrelated Nagalil will be the foundation of the Federation just established internationally. Positive images have terrible consequences.

　　 They did not tell the people that the Prayton Pirate Group might have been posing as the Royal Navy of Gefola, which would bring panic and uneasiness to the entire federal society, which is not in their interests.

　　 What they need is to terminate this diplomatic activity that is of no value in their eyes, not to make society unrest and panic the people, so they just tell the people that doing so is not in line with the federal interests at this stage.

Of course, by the way, they also created some problems to attack the establishment of diplomatic relations with Nagalil, and raised some seemingly soul torturous questions, such as "Why help others develop instead of leaving opportunities in the country". Kind of problem.

　　In the confusion stage, various ideas will always come up, and the people will be firmly attracted by different ideas. Some people are indeed on their side.

　　 In the past few days, there have been some spontaneous demonstrations interfering with the continuation of the establishment of diplomatic relations. Some people even marched outside the presidential palace. Their slogan is "Take care of ourselves first", which is in line with the style of the Conservative Party.

　　 They used most similar slogans to call on the federal government to keep in the country the resources and wealth originally intended to aid Nagalil.

　　 In short, Mr. President's situation is improving, but he is also facing some new problems. Just when he himself was a little hesitant, Mr. Truman took two lobbyists and found him together.

　　 "Do you already know what happened yesterday?" After Truman introduced the identity of the two entourages around him to the president, he asked a question.

　　 Mr. President nodded, "Yes, I already know, you told me about it last night!"

After the incident, Truman told Mr. President some of the things that happened during the negotiation and his tacit performance with Lynch, so that he had a preparation, but the deeper content has not been said yet, waiting for him to find two. He came to meet the president only after someone he felt could help him persuade the president.

　　 Mr. Truman looked at the two people around him, and then at Mr. President, "We have signed a non-disclosure agreement before we came, and what we have to say next, except for you, only the three of us know."

Mr. President was a little surprised. His expression showed a proper surprise. High-ranking federal officials are rarely required to sign confidentiality agreements. Only those content that may have an unpredictable and huge impact will be required to sign. His attitude is all of a sudden. It becomes straightened up. His expression also became solemn.

　　 "Actually, I didn't finish the report with you yesterday. I later talked to Lynch. He thinks that what we really need now is not who is standing with us, but that we can defeat our opponents!"

　　Mr. President's expression is always solemn, and his brows are also twisted at this time, "Our opponent?"

　　 This is a standard interrogative sentence and ends the sentence in a slightly vacant tone, allowing it to maintain its original meaning.

"Our opponent!" Mr. Truman repeated, and this round became very affirmative. "We have to create an opponent and then defeat it. We can get everything we need for federal development from the war, and at the same time we can Establishing the self-confidence of the federal people will also enable us to unite closely into a whole, and let us defeat the next opponent!"

　　President first

Sheng shook his head slightly, "This is what you talked about, it's terrible!"

　　 He didn't say why it was terrible, but everyone in the room knew that this was imperial hegemonism. In order to grow its power, it was plundering and expanding everywhere, which formed a strong contrast with the spirit of a free and peaceful federation.

　　 It’s not that some people really think that these are not good enough. The leaders of any country, the ruling class of the country, hope that their country can expand to every corner of the world.

　　Only when the scope of their rule becomes larger, the power in their hands will become sweeter, but sometimes some things are not as simple as lip service, and corresponding strength is needed.

　　Imperial hegemonism is now not very popular in the world. This world war has changed a lot of things, including the form of some ruling classes.

Plundering does not necessarily mean that the other party’s territory can be included in the bag, and it can also be carried out in some other ways, but this does not mean that hegemonism will completely disappear, but it only changes the form and continues to exist in another way, essentially Still nothing will change.

　　 Mr. Truman did not show some kind of guilt that he should show?

　　 Maybe he should be guilty for his thoughts, but at this time, there was another kind of luster flashing on his face, a kind of luster... like being favored by something.

"Mr. President, the war between us and the pirate group stems from our need for victory. We need a huge victory to reinvigorate the federation. After defeating the Prayton pirate group, we can get a A long-term and stable source of raw materials."

　　 "But now those people in Nagalil and Playton seem to have some agreement. They intend to give up establishing diplomatic relations with us. Once they do that, we will face some huge troubles."

　　 "First of all, the Conservative Party may take advantage of the trend. They have recently begun to attack some of your new policies in the media. We cannot open the situation internationally quickly, and it has also brought you some negative effects."

In fact, Mr. President and his cabinet have done a very good job, but the problem is that the Baylor Federation is here to divide the cake. Just this point will not make people like him, and naturally it is impossible to bring it to the Baylor Federation. How many benefits and orders.

　　 On the contrary, with the limited opening of some free markets, some foreign goods have begun to dump to the Federation, the most serious in the three free trade zones in the South.

A large number of high-quality and cheap foreign products have completely defeated domestic products. Many small merchants packaged these products and shipped them to various places, squeezing the market share of similar products, and severely gave some domestic companies that are still barely maintaining a punch. .

　　 These are all problems ~lightnovelpub.net~ It's just not obvious enough, but some people who are already vacillating are on the side of the Conservative Party.

　　 In their words, there is no benefit now. On the contrary, more factories have closed down. If the more countries with diplomatic relations, the more factories have closed down, it is better to continue to engage in "evasionism."

　　 "Secondly, the frustration caused by the failure to establish diplomatic relations will make the people feel a strong disappointment, which will make us less confident, and social problems and contradictions will increase and even erupt."

"Thirdly, Nagalil, a small country like the United Kingdom, which is ignorant and backward, can be ugly to us in diplomatic relations, or play us a trick. If we can’t wash away our shame, our image and status in the international arena, It will only get lower and lower."

　　 "People will not respect peace-loving fools, they will only respect butchers with sickles in their hands."

　　 "The status of Gevlar today is not how much they love peace, or how many small countries they have helped develop their industries and economies, but their warships all over the world!"

　　 "Mr. President, this is what I came here today. Once this diplomatic activity does not meet our expectations, I hope you can authorize us to start this war!"

The president’s brows were almost twisted together, and he waved his hand, "Let me stroke it, are you sure you just said the word'war'?", his expression was serious, "I thought we were just going to fight Just a bunch of pirates."
