1542 That’s Enough!

"I see……"

Lynch sat for a while after hanging up the phone, and then picked it up again. He wanted to call Mr. Trueman, but then hung up the phone again.

Calling at this time is obviously not a smart choice. Even if you know the answer to something, you should not say it.

There are many people who pretend to be smart, but these people often don't have very good results.

There are very few people who pretend to be stupid, but these people often suffer no loss even if they don't get any benefits in the end.

War... broke out!

Just now, Mr. Wardrick called Lynch and told him that people from the Ministry of National Defense had loaded all the more than 20 Type 1 tanks in his warehouse and transported them away, and asked him to transport them as soon as possible. The rest of the order is completed.

This time, the Ministry of National Defense did not pay in installments, but paid all the expenses at once.

He felt that this incident seemed a bit unexpected. Logically speaking, there was nothing objectionable about the Ministry of National Defense doing this.

After all, they paid for the things and signed the contract, and now they have their things taken away without any legal problems.

But their expressions seemed to be hiding something.

In fact, Mr. Wardrick himself knew very well what this meant, he just... couldn't believe it.

War breaks out!

If an outbreak does occur, the news will be on TV soon.

Lynch turned on the TV and turned it to Bupen Local Channel 1, which was considered a semi-official "official" channel.

Due to current limitations in science and technology, the spread of television signals is a problem. In addition to local live broadcasts, live broadcasts between regions are actually rebroadcasts.

If Mr. Trueman had something to say, he would appear first on Buppain's news channel, which would then be broadcast nationally in the evening.

The hosts on TV are still laughing about the topic that war seems to be far away from us. In fact, most people do not think that war will break out in the first half of this year.

The reason is actually nothing. It is probably that everyone is not ready. The so-called "declaration of war" is more like a threat.

There was no disturbance at all throughout the morning.

At 1:30 in the afternoon, when Lynch was about to take a nap, the program was suddenly canceled and the press conference at the Presidential Palace appeared instead.

Mr. Trueman stood on the stage with a very serious look on his face, and quite a few news media gathered at the scene.

Lynch also saw reporters from Black Market TV and reporters from "Pioneer"...

"Just now, we had another attack on the Border Patrol in Marillo, in which seventeen of our heroic patrol members were injured or killed."

"During this period, the Marillo government and people have continued to challenge our patience and bottom line on border issues, trampling on our desire to protect peace time and time again."

"This is the greatest harm to us and the greatest harm to the cause of peace in the world."

"We have tried to resolve these issues peacefully through diplomacy and political means, but it seems our neighbors see our forbearance as weakness!"

"When we can no longer tolerate it, we should stop giving in!"

"In the name of the third president of the Federation, for the sake of peace and for the people who are threatened with injury or even death on the border, I want to ask for an explanation from the Marillo government!"

"If the Marillo government cannot give us a satisfactory answer within twenty-four hours, we will declare war on Marillo!"

"We will repay the hurt and pain they inflicted on us in multiples!"

The entire Bupen seemed to fall into some eerie silence at this moment, and then the stock market, known as the "Federal Weather Gauge", began to vibrate violently.

Military and heavy industry stocks began to rise rapidly, and some stocks related to Marillo, as well as international light industry trading stocks, began to decline significantly.

The stock market in Bupen is the most honest place, it is like a woman, as long as you can understand it, it will not hide anything from you!

The growth of military and heavy industry stocks is because these companies have a close and inseparable relationship with the war. Once the war breaks out, it means that these companies will be able to receive a large number of orders.

Export trade, especially the export of light industrial products, will cause big problems in sales and transportation due to the war.

When transportation becomes unsafe, businesses risk losing money.

Whether the delivery location is placed abroad or transferred from abroad to domestic, there are unavoidable huge risks for both parties to the trade. Companies that rely on export trade will encounter some setbacks in a short period of time.

Only after the war situation becomes "clarified" to a certain extent and safe trade routes are delineated will things pick up.

In fact, there are no so-called safe trade channels at all, but there will be more naval patrols around these channels.

The reaction of the stock market soon began to sweep outwards. Not only domestic, but also international futures were seriously affected.

The prices of various materials began to skyrocket, and people hoped to obtain more materials before the war to avoid the lack of raw materials for producing goods during the war.

More and more radio waves are joining the ranks of sharing this "information", and more and more people are realizing that the war has really broken out!

Valley tie

As a new consortium in the Federation, Blackstone Group naturally held an emergency meeting.

Lynch arrived a little later, and before he arrived, everyone was talking about what was going to happen next.

There is no fear or anxiety on the faces of most people, only curiosity and excitement!

Yes, excited!

For these capitalists, the war will accelerate the growth of the consortium. A large number of military industry orders can allow the consortium to achieve "growth" in a short period of time that may only be achieved for decades outside of war!

When Lynch came in, these noisy discussions immediately stopped.

"Mr.president……"

People greeted Lynch one after another, and Lynch also sat in his seat as chairman of the board of directors with a smile.

"Actually, this is quite sudden for me."

When people looked at him, he was not nervous at all, and even seemed relaxed, which also made other people feel relaxed.

Role models have such a magical effect!

What he says and what he does can affect other people.

He smiled as if it was just a small thing.

"I had the same idea as everyone at the beginning, thinking that the war would not start until the second half of the year, but we all know that it has already broken out..."

At this time, someone raised his hand, and Lynch raised his chin slightly, giving the guy a chance to speak.

The man bowed slightly to thank Lynch for allowing him to speak, and then asked a question, "Mr. President's speech included a twenty-four-hour ultimatum. Mr. President, is it not possible at all?"

What he meant was "Isn't there any possibility of avoiding war?" Sometimes you don't need to speak completely clearly.

Lynch shook his head, "What can you do in twenty-four hours?"

"They may not even know who attacked our patrol, when, and why. From the beginning, the presidential palace never considered continuing to tolerate it."

"As Mr. President said, we are always giving in, not because we are weak, but because we are unwilling to easily start a war."

"But now some people regard our concession as our weakness, and this war has become inevitable."

"So instead of thinking about twenty-four hours, you can think of it as a countdown to the official outbreak of war."

"Any question?"

The person who asked the question shook his head, while more people seemed to understand something.

Yes, nothing can be done in twenty-four hours, and war will inevitably break out.

Lynch then continued, "At present, there is not much need to adjust the overall structure of our consortium. We will continue to work on industry incubation, and at the same time, more resources will be directed towards industries involving military industry."

"For example, Blackstone Airlines has been promoted to the first place in the ranking. As long as it has demand, we will complete everything it needs to the maximum extent!"

There is nothing to object to this change.

Blackstone Aviation is currently the most profitable business of Blackstone Group, with two major orders exceeding 3 billion.

Of course, this is the total amount. It is not allocated in one go, but in batches. But even so, the amount obtained every year is an astonishing amount, accounting for more than 60% of the group company's revenue!

It is natural to give the green light to such a money-printing machine.

"In addition, companies related to transportation mentioned the second sequence. As the entire society turns into a huge war machine, the demand for logistics and transportation will become increasingly heavy."

"In addition to meeting the needs within our group company, I also hope that through this opportunity, the transportation and logistics capabilities of the group company can be spread out."

The person in charge of the Blackstone Group team nodded, and then wrote down Lynch's words in a small notebook.

Lynch also saw this move. He smiled and pointed casually, "Your department will become independent from the group company later and establish Blackstone Transportation. Is that okay?"

The person in charge of the department was stunned at first, and then looked happy.

The head of a department, even if he is sitting on the board of directors, is still a senior worker in the final analysis.

It's not even considered senior. The real senior ones are the shareholders, and he only holds some incentive shares, which belong to the senior partners. These actually don't belong to him.

But if an independent company is established, if his position is not adjusted, he will be the general manager and chairman. The incentive shares he currently holds will be converted into shares of the branch in proportion!

He will truly hold this part of the shares and truly reach the pinnacle of life!

"Mr. Chairman, I promise to complete the task!"

When I got excited, even my words and sentences became "flavored" like war!
