Chapter 1615 Helpful
Judging from the current war situation, Prime Minister Gefra has realized one thing——
Gefra has completely fallen behind the Federation and Pengeo in this world war. This is a very sad but undeniable fact!
During the last world war, ten years ago, they were still one of the countries with the strongest military strength in the world. However, in just these ten years, they have been eliminated by the world.
This is a heavy blow to the proud Gefra people. They are unwilling to admit it, but they must admit it.
Avoiding will not make the country stronger, it will only make them fall more painfully.
At this time, for the Prime Minister of Gaevra and all the great nobles, preserving the dominance of the Amelia region and restricting the power of the Federation or Pengeo's transition can be said to be demands of the same level!
The most important core purpose of the former Gefra was to retain control of the Amelia region. This was where the dream of Gefra's continent began and the only place where it was possible to realize it.
Apart from this, everything else must make way for this goal. Even if the royal family knows that everyone from common people to nobles on the island is dissatisfied with this policy, they still do this.
But the situation has changed now. If the Federation and Pengeo can be prevented from throwing Gaevra so far away, even if they give up some rights to rule the Amelia region, it is not non-negotiable!
In the process of competing for status and voice in the future world, the mainland dream can also be put aside for a while.
As long as Gaevra does not fall out of the first echelon, they will one day be able to realize the continental dream.
But if they fall out of the first echelon, even if they hold Amelia firmly now, they will lose it one day.
The easiest way to achieve such a goal is to let the federation and the Pengeo military group fool them.
The war will squeeze the energy of these two countries, and they will need more time to recover after the war. This is precisely Gaevra's opportunity.
If they can retain their current strength and develop rapidly after the war, they may not have a chance to return to the forefront of the world!
They made very excessive demands, and from a certain strategic point of view, they even hoped that the federal government would reject these demands.
Only in this way can they watch the war without contributing and not completely fall out with the Federation.
If you just sit back and watch two powerful countries fight to the end, the winner will be Gaevra, who has never dealt with it.
As long as there are enough benefits, friends can become enemies and enemies can become friends.
Mr. Trueman did not give an immediate reply to the special envoy. Instead, he said that he needed to discuss it with the cabinet before making a decision on whether to assist. After all, it involved billions in military spending.
Even if the federal president has the highest power in the country during the war, they must show caution in the face of so much money.
As soon as the two people left, Mr. Trueman notified the cabinet of a meeting, and soon everyone gathered in the conference room of the Presidential Palace.
He briefly explained the situation on Gefra's side, which caused dissatisfaction among many people.
"They are stalling for time!" The top official of the Ministry of International Affairs saw the problem at a glance.
Yes, this is the son of the previous president. After serving as a representative on the World Development Council, he successfully returned to serve in the federal government.
After Mr. Trueman won the presidential election, he became the top minister of the Department of International Affairs.
His father is a member of the Conservative Party, and he himself is a member of the Progressive Party. In addition, there is a lot of political collusion and deal-making behind Mr. Trueman's victory. It is obvious that such a young man with a background in both parties can obtain a high position. Very normal.
However, he still needs to lie dormant for a while. Judging from his age, he will have to wait at least two to three terms after Mr. Trueman's re-election to have a chance to hit that goal!
It sounds like this is not a long time, but in fact it will take at least twenty years for him to have the opportunity to charge for the position of the first man in the Federation like his father!
Thanks to his father being impeached and removed from office (political exchange), he also started at a very high level. He directly jumped two or three levels and started as a diplomatic ambassador, and gradually reached his current position.
This also makes him have a very accurate vision of affairs, especially things involving the international situation. He can see clearly some of the things there faster than others.
Mr. Trueman nodded, "Yes, their attitude is just like what they said, there is no sincerity at all."
"But we can't completely throw away the Gefra people and go it alone now. Once the Gefra people retreat, other countries in the World Development Council may retreat."
"We spent a lot of effort to persuade them to join the war more actively. We can't let them shrink back just because of a little money!"
Member states of the World Development Council now have to choose one, either money or effort, and the federal government hopes they can contribute more.
The total population of Pengeo and its vassal states is too large, and there is an endless supply of soldiers. This is a test for the Bayler Federation's sustainable military operations.
Why can't Gaevra defeat the Penteo people?
It's not entirely because their army men are too useless, nor is it because they lack advanced military equipment. In the final analysis, it's just that there are too few people!
The Pengeo people can invest millions of men in a war, and if the Gaevra people invest millions of troops, the island will probably not see too many young men.
Without soldiers, we can't really let women go to the battlefield...
In order to persuade all allies to contribute to the war, the federal government actually made a lot of promises.
If Gaevra retreats first now, some of these countries will have the same reason to retreat.
Unfortunately, the Federation has not yet been able to take direct action against Gefra, so the options left to the Federation at this time are basically no longer available.
The result of everyone's discussion is the same. Gaevra cannot be allowed to withdraw from the core circle of the war, but...
Who will give the money is also a problem.
Among those who have the deepest understanding of finance in the Federation, Lynch must be there.
Lynch had just finished dinner when he got the call, and when he arrived at the presidential palace, Mr. Trueman was still eating lunch.
It was not a rich, simple lunch. He didn't have that much time to sit upright in front of the dining table and spent a lot of time tasting some delicious food.
Some sandwiches, some fruit pieces, some barbecued meats, that's his lunch.
"Wait for me for a moment..." Mr. Trueman apologized to Lynch again while eating. He was still putting things in his mouth as he spoke, "How about you come too?"
Lynch waved his hand, "I've eaten before. I'm not in a hurry. You'd better eat slowly."
"The doctor said it's quick and easy to eat..."
Mr. Teleman paused his fast meal and looked at Lynch, who caught his attention with just one sentence!
"...choking."
Mr. Trueman couldn't help but laugh. "Damn, I thought you were going to say something appalling."
He laughed and continued to quickly stuff his lunch down his throat, while Lynch sat aside with a smile and waited for him to finish everything.
Mr. Trueman lit a cigarette and walked over with two wine glasses and a bottle of wine. "In the morning, Gaevra's envoys came over. They opened their mouths and asked for a lot of supplies and soldiers. .”
Lynch was a little surprised. He reached for the cup and asked Mr. Trueman to pour some wine for him before asking, "If I heard correctly, what you just said was 'asking for'?"
Asking and buying are two completely different words. The first one costs nothing, while the second one costs money.
Mr. Trueman took a sip of his wine and nodded vigorously, "They're not going to spend the money." After he finished speaking, he looked at Lynch, wondering how long it would take Lynch to react.
He thought of this while eating. He thought it would take at least twenty or thirty seconds.
After all, a series of issues were directly reflected in one sentence, and it also involved international trends, Gaevra's national conditions and internal politics. Twenty or thirty seconds were all Lynch's assumptions.
But the result was still so unexpected. Lynch took almost no time to say the answer, "Are they not planning to continue the coordinated attack?"
Coordinated attack is the core of the grand strategy at this stage. All areas around the world that are in contact with Pengeo's military group must launch attacks.
At this time, the fighter jets, bombers, and reconnaissance planes on the Eastern Ocean almost never stopped.
They even started a long-term strategic bombing mission, directly carrying out long-term bombing on Pengeo's homeland.
Gaevra made excessive demands at this time, and there were only a few reasons that could allow them to do so.
Combined with their war potential in front of the Pengeo Military Group, they are almost not "weighty" in front of the Federation, which is enough for Lynch to guess their starting point.
Mr. Trueman said with some emotion, "Yes, they proposed that if we cannot fulfill their needs, they will not be able to launch a large-scale military operation against Pengeo in the Amelia region."
He was still a little helpless after saying these words, "But we can't lack it for the time being, so we plan to seek help from other methods."
Lynch probably understood, and he said casually, "We can give them low-interest loans and talk about repaying the money after the war is over."
"If we win the war, I think they won't mind paying this money back..."
Mr. Trueman asked just as timely as two people saying their lines, "But what if we lose?"
Lin Qi's expression was both serious and a bit indescribably playful.
"If we lose, then Gefra will cease to exist!"
