On the TV, the host asked a congressman this question, "Why is our navy defeated by the Gevlars, but still be provoked by pirates?"

This is also the question that all the Federation people most want to ask. Not long ago, the Federation people were still cheering for the victory of the naval battle and firmly believed that the Federation had stood up.

But immediately afterwards, some pirates made a mess. This is not a good phenomenon, and some people began to wonder whether the federal navy is really as invincible as people think.

To use the front page headline of a newspaper, it is "What the **** is going on with us". We can beat Gefra, but there is nothing we can do with some pirates.

The guest sitting on the sofa looked very solemn. He lowered his head slightly and groaned for a moment, and then gave an answer of his own, "Our navy is very strong, but the number is very small..."

"In the past few years, when we were immersed in the environment created by escapism, in order to make ourselves appear harmless, we did not expand our army during the war."

"The war that then spread to the world began to end. Everyone knows that there is no winner in this war, and our government at that time promoted a large-scale disarmament plan to cater to the needs of the international community."

"People at the time did not think the same as they are now. Looking at the past with our current eyes will make people feel ridiculous. To prove that we are not the invaders and the initiators of the war, we interrupted our hands. "

"The Navy has always had only one complete formation, and it hasn't changed since then."

"Through my understanding, almost all naval warships currently have their own jobs. Except for the two warships of the Prayton Pirate Group that are still on the run, the other light warships are doing some large-scale voyage trade. Be an escort."

"In other words, we did not do well in this pirate hijacking incident, but the reason why we did not do well is not that we were unable to defeat these pirates, but that we did not have enough warships."

The host is a very intellectual woman, in her early thirties, with a short hair that is relatively rare nowadays, and she looks very capable.

She is wearing a pale pink shirt, blue collar and a pair of light-colored wide-mouth trousers, which have become popular since the summer of this year.

These costumes, and some small accessories, supplemented by her expression, give her a...intellectual beauty.

"We don't have enough warships?" She repeated this sentence, "Why don't we build more warships?"

The congressman interviewed laughed, "This is the historical reason before. In order to reassure our neighboring countries and some powerful countries, we cannot have more formations or more warships."

The hostess seemed to understand, "So now this has become our problem. Can't we take care of everything?"

As she spoke, she raised another question, "So now, as you have said, these are issues left over from history. Through this incident, will we consider solving them?"

"Or the federal government continues to maintain the current situation in order to maintain this harmless image to the outside world. I remember that the Army has been disarming in the past few years, and letting ourselves lose the ability to protect ourselves can really make everyone rest assured of us? ?"

The congressman shook his head. "To be honest, I'm not sure. It depends on what our country and society need us to become."

"If the people still fear war and military actions as they did in the past, Congress will not be able to pass any proposals to strengthen our own military capabilities."

"Secondly, it depends on whether other members of Congress have similar ideas with you and us."

"Respect is not because we know how to be polite, but because we have the strength to make people have to respect us."

The hostess keenly captured some key words, "You mean, there are people who are against the expansion of the army?"

"Why are there such stupid people? Will others give up using force against us because we don't have military power?"

"I remember that in this world war, the aggressor never changed his mind just because the invaded country did not have military power..."

The congressman spread his hands and said, "People are very complicated..."

The effect of the TV program is very good, and I don't know that this TV program has similar interview content. In short, the entire federal society understands a little bit.

It's not that the Federal Navy has no way to deal with the pirates, but the Federal Navy is simply unable to take care of all aspects.

In these interviews, both the host and the invited guests hung up on what the Conservative Party had done before and continued to criticize, in order to inspire people to shift their hatred.

They will transfer their hatred of cowardice to the Conservative Party through various statements on TV shows, triggering the idea that "it is not my cowardice, but the political party and social environment at the time make me cowardly".

As long as this kind of thinking enters, people will start to hate the conservative party president and his escapism. At the same time, in order to prove that they are not running dogs of escapism, they will steadily stand on the side of the Progressive Party and the radicals on some major issues of right and wrong. ——I'm so radical, how can I be a running dog of escapism?

This retaliatory social behavior pushed public opinion to its peak in just two days, and there were even "spontaneous" demonstrations in some places, demanding that the federal government expand the navy and army and contribute to the maintenance of world peace. .

If you don’t consider surrounding countries’ frightened battles for a few days and Emperor Gevula’s start to smash things again, the scale and momentum of the parade may be even greater.

It is said to be spontaneous, but in fact, there are profit drivers behind it. For example, some shipping companies that can manufacture warships, such as some military industry groups that produce and sell naval guns, have spent a lot of money on inciting public opinion and organization. On the parade.

In this way, the time came to the third day.

"We have initially known the sea area where the opponent is located, and the navy is ready to attack at any time, but now there is still a question, what attitude should we use to treat those hostages..."

In Mr. President’s office, the head of the task force, a colonel civilian officer of the Ministry of Defense, is reporting on the progress of the incident, “If we want to take care of the safety of those hostages, the process of exchanging ransom for the hostages is indispensable. , Only after we ensure the safety of the hostages can we launch an attack."

"But if we do this, we may not be able to retrieve the money. It is very likely that the money will be lost in the battle."

"If we don't consider the safety of the hostages, when we lead the other party out, we will apply saturated firepower to cover..."

Mr. President suddenly raised his hand to stop him, "The lives of federal citizens are higher than money. Please stop discussing the concept of giving up the lives of hostages, and exchange money with them to ensure the safety of the hostages before solving them."

The colonel nodded and stopped speaking. The president has the power to use his privileges to launch a short-term military operation beyond Congress. Therefore, in this military operation that does not require the consent of Congress, Mr. President has the highest level of authority.

"Work hard, Colonel, we will hold a press conference first, waiting for you to hear good news from the front line, don't let me, let everyone down in the Federation..."

After implying that the colonel could leave, Mr. President stood up. He walked a few steps back and forth on the world map carpet in front of the desk, and then looked at Truman standing aside, "Thanks to you for reminding me, otherwise this will happen. Let me lose a lot of points."

"I have communicated with other people, and you can come back to work when this matter is over."

This news made Mr. Truman a little surprised. He thought he would have another vacation for a while, but he didn't expect to be back so soon.

In fact, there is no alternative. It is now summer, which also means that there are only a few months left before the general election.

And not long ago, Mr. Truman once again proved his worth. He prevented Mr. President from choosing the worst option, so Mr. President increasingly believed that he needed Mr. Truman by his side more than ever.

The president of the Federation is not an all-knowing and all-powerful saint. Let's not discuss whether anyone can steal God's divine power and achieve all-knowing and all-powerfulness. In fact, many presidents are not as capable as most of his men.

Whether a politician can become the president of the Confederation has nothing to do with his personal ability. What needs to be referred to is the supporters behind him and whether he can act.

If you want to stay in this position for a long time, you need some capable people to help him~lightnovelpub.net~ and also be your confidant.

Mr. President attaches great importance to Truman. The latter not only has intelligence beyond ordinary people, he is also a representative of the military, except for occasional small tempers, almost everything is the best.

He can return to work without giving Truman first, the latter can be by his side anyway, but he still did that, because the two partners are not only for the past few years, but for the next eight years.

At this time, Mr. President made no secret of his ambitions. His goal is to be a ten-year president, a president with great power, so he needs more non-consortium people to help him.

"I thought I had to wait for a while, you know, those people are not so easy to talk." Mr. Truman smiled back. The "those" in his mouth were the people he had offended before.

At this time, Mr. President expressed a different attitude than before, and there was some rare contempt in the smile on his face, "Actually, you are more capable than me, but you are not willing to do something you don't want to do. "

"Communicating with those people requires some skills. As long as you learn these skills, you will find that they are not much smarter than fools!"
