1110 For All Mankind
"You have to talk about him, he's playing with fire!"
The President shooed the secretary out, closed the door, passed behind the sofa, and put his hand on Mr. Trueman's shoulder.
The "he" he said refers to Lynch.
Both of them have already read Lynch's report. In any case, it is difficult for them to believe a federal businessman... Well, even if he is a little special, he will not get involved in Gefra's coup.
Perhaps his aristocratic status played a role?
Maybe, after all, he was a baron personally conferred by His Majesty Emperor Gaevra. Logically speaking, he was also a participant in this coup.
But...this is still a bit hard to accept.
In Lynch's private security report, he believed that there might be a coup in Gevra next. He introduced the camps and strengths and weaknesses of both parties, and finally gave his own judgment.
The president didn't sleep at night. He sat all night and fell asleep for a while in the morning.
As soon as he closed his eyes, the scene of the outbreak of World War II appeared in his mind. Because the Federation rashly interfered in Gaevra's internal affairs, Gaevra decided to unite with the Allies to attack the Federation...
In the end, he stood on the trial bench of war criminals, listening to a long sentence that had nothing to do with him, and looked at those who were listening blankly.
Among those listening was Lynch, who seemed to be doing better than before.
After waking up, I was covered in cold sweat and could not fall asleep again.
The impression that Gaevra gave people was not actually that he "tumbled" in the Federation's naval battle. People only thought that it was a fall. It was not a failure, but a small flaw.
Later, the Gefra people also proved that their technical ability in submarines far surpassed that of the Federation. If there was another naval battle, it was hard to say who would win and who would lose.
With this knowledge, the president can't sleep because he doesn't want to become a sinner of the country.
After the sky narrowed for a while, Mr. President called Mr. Trueman over, that is, now.
Mr. Trueman also read the report. There was no expression of frustration or embarrassment on his face, only a kind of... indescribable helplessness, with a hint of secret joy.
"Mr. President, you know, if someone could just leave him alone for a while, maybe we wouldn't have so much to do today!"
When Mr. Trueman said this, he felt a little emotional. In fact, changes in foreign policy and attitudes towards the international community are driven by Lynch's theories on relations with the international community and financial war.
It was he who first put forward the theory that "war equals the consumption of wealth", and it was he who proposed the "core of international society" and planned to use the federation as the core to establish new international social relations.
He also participated in some diplomatic negotiations and promoted the establishment of the new federation of Nagaril. Even the current policy towards Mariro was formulated by him.
If you think about it carefully, this young man is so good at finding trouble for everyone.
But no one can accuse him of these things.
It was believed at home and abroad that the Great Depression might last until the next war. In just three years after Nagaril began to supply blood to the Federation, the worsening situation was contained and began to Get better.
While the world was actively preparing for the next war, Lynch's aircraft once again changed the world.
He is like a very skilled drummer, and every beat strikes a node in the progress of history.
History keeps moving forward in the rhythm of his weaving. History is not pushing him, it is he who is pushing history!
When Mr. Trueman talked about Lynch, he did not blame him, and neither did Mr. President. They knew very well what this young man brought to the federation, which may be why they were biased towards Lynch at some point.
You can't show a bad face to a handsome and young man who has made outstanding contributions to society and the country, right?
Mr. President smiled, obviously not paying attention to Mr. Trueman's answer. Then he gradually became serious, holding his chin in his hands, "What do you think of this?"
Mr. Trueman thought for a while, "This might be a good opportunity. You know, Lynch is very good at catching such opportunities, and I read his reasons and I think he is right." .”
"What we need is a rational Gaevra government, not a dictatorial Gafra royal regime. This is only good for us and has no harm."
Mr. President leaned back on the sofa, rubbing his forehead and closing his eyes. He was a little sleepy now.
Maybe he was really sleepy, or maybe the "relax" on Trueman's face relaxed his tense nerves.
Among the many people, the one he trusted the most was Trueman. In addition to Mr. Trueman's deep relationship with the military, he himself was also very smart, courageous, and decisive.
This is exactly what Mr. President lacks most. He is actually not suitable to be a progressive party. He is suitable to be a conservative party.
When faced with a problem, the first thing that comes to mind is not how to solve it, but "I'm in big fucking trouble." Coupled with the hesitation when faced with choices, Mr. Trueman's appearance just fills the gap. All cons.
It's like God sent him to assist the President, so the President has extra trust in him.
"Tell me carefully..."
Mr. Trueman spread his hands and said, "We can't reason with a person who falls into extreme emotions. Once the emperor of Gefra comes to power, he falls into manic extreme emotions, and no one of us can convince him."
"Whether we want it or not, we have to face war head-on in this situation."
"You know, some people are so paranoid that they're willing to be destroyed along with everyone else!"
Mr. President obviously thought of something and nodded in agreement, "Then Prime Minister and others..."
"Mr. President, do you think Congress will pay for one of your impulsive actions?"
Mr. Trueman's example made the president understand that Congress will definitely not let him act recklessly. Not only will they not agree to his disorderly behavior, they will launch an impeachment motion to oust him from his position.
"So, the prime minister's regime is actually equivalent to him being the president of Gefra?"
Mr. Trueman nodded, "Yes, if you notice that they also have a Privy Council, you should understand some of the things Lynch said in the report."
"The Prime Minister's Cabinet plus the Privy Council is the equivalent of the President's Cabinet plus Parliament."
"We will face an opponent with countless weaknesses who will not engage in meaningless political fights for their own decency or emotions."
"They will compromise and make concessions, even if it makes them lose face, but they will do it as long as it is in the interests of more people."
"When you are competing against a dictator, you have to be careful not to irritate him excessively."
"But against a cabinet and a Privy Council similar to Congress..." Mr. Trueman smiled confidently, "We have too much experience in this area, they are no match for us!"
Yes, persuading Congress is a very special experience. There is no way to teach this experience. You must experience it yourself to understand it.
The Privy Council is actually more complicated than the Parliament. The hereditary seats of the great nobles will make the Privy Council a black hole.
There are no conflicts between members of Congress, because every short cycle, two years, there is a purge of the entire seat.
Of course, it is said to be a major purge, but in fact most of the people replaced are members of the House of Representatives, and senators are not so easy to get rid of.
It also looks like they are hereditary?
No, they are not hereditary, it will only take ten or more years at most, and they cannot let their descendants directly become senators. Their descendants have to get up little by little and face layers of difficulties. .
Not all children of senators can become senators in the future, just like not every son of a president can be a president, and not every grandson can be a president!
Power that is not passed on will create gaps, and conflicts may be concentrated, but they will not last.
As members continue to leave, conflicts will continue to disappear, but new conflicts will also arise as new members join.
This is a cycle, just like the bubbles on the water surface in a bubble bath, which constantly burst, but new bubbles are created with the stirring of the water.
It is always a healthy cycle, and conflicts will not continue to the point where they cannot be mitigated and resolved.
But the Privy Council is different. For hereditary members, conflicts will continue hereditary. After the initial period that seems very fair has passed, they will spontaneously form factions and stick to each other.
The entire Privy Council will become as muddy as a sewer and exude a stench. At that time, the Prime Minister's cabinet will focus more on internal fighting rather than external affairs.
This is the benefit of the Prime Minister’s Cabinet. In a power-based country, the federal system of equality, justice and free choice is implemented. Lynch is a fucking genius!
The president quickly understood the benefits of this under Mr. Trueman's explanation, but at least he understood.
Rather than facing a moody dictator who will explode at who knows when, perhaps a Gaevra who will fall into internal strife in the future is a better Gaevra.
He asked tentatively, "So can we support Lynch in doing this?"
Mr. Trueman also responded in the affirmative, "Of course, there is no reason why we shouldn't do it, as Lynch said at the end of the report."
"This is not for him, not for us or the Federation, this is for the peace that humans around the world insist on!"
"A prime minister's cabinet cannot destroy the peace that mankind needs all over the world, but a dictatorial emperor can!"
