1655 Improve Understanding
The idea put forward by the federal government quickly received support and approval from the member states of the World Development Council. According to the federal government, the "Convention on the Prohibition of Chemical Gases" has binding effect only on the member states that have joined the convention.
In other words, if only the member states of the World Development Council join, the Federation will not actively use chemical poison gas when launching wars against these countries.
This sounds like there is nothing wrong with it, but the question is, what about those who have not joined?
The tragedy of Senas——
Many international media now call the final battle in Senas City a tragedy to describe the horror of the gas bombs.
Sometimes it is difficult to find an accurate word or sentence to describe people's moral bottom line.
You say it is too low, they will at least pay attention to these rebels who were killed by gas and make some calls for them.
But no matter how high it is, they have not called for world peace. After all, many more people have died from bullets and shells than from poison gas.
However, everyone is still very supportive of the federal government's stance and pay close attention to the results of the investigation team.
In fact, everyone knows very well that poison gas bombs must have been used this time, because the federal government hopes that everyone will join the convention prohibiting the use of poison gas bombs.
This indirectly reflects that the federal government actually did that.
While the member states of the World Development Council responded positively, the Pengeo Military Group was also thinking about this issue.
"Do we need to join?"
The emperor sat on his chair, and the palace was full of people, including palace ministers and elders of the Pengeo Empire, as well as representatives of other countries in the military group.
They gathered in the emperor's palace. In their hearts, this was the core of the world.
At least that's how they behave!
Faced with His Majesty the Emperor's questions, no one stood up rashly.
The Emperor is not a very gentle person. If some people think that he always has a lazy attitude and his tone of voice is not strong, but thinks that he is a very talkative person, then they must be totally wrong!
The Emperor is not a talkative person, nor is he gentle, but there is no need for him to be angry yet, so he has temporarily put away his terrifying appearance.
It's like a pebble on the grassland. Just because it's lying on the ground and licking its paws doesn't mean it's a big cat, docile and cute.
It might have just eaten an animal, maybe even a poacher.
The emperor looked at his ministers. The Minister of Army in charge of the army stood up and said, "Your Majesty, we can join..."
His Majesty the Emperor raised his chin slightly, indicating for him to continue speaking.
"I have seen the content of the federal government's initiative, and they have proposed several clauses that are very beneficial to us, such as requiring all participating members to disclose the ingredients and parameters of toxic gases that are being developed or have been developed, and submit effective preventive measures."
"Currently we have only one kind of poison gas that can be directly used in warfare, and this poison gas was mainly used to kill some predators in the wild..."
The Pengeo Empire also has vast land, just like any place. The land area is too large, and the wild does not belong to humans.
In the first few decades of the Pengeo Empire, wolves and other attacks on villages often occurred. Later, in order to solve these problems, the Imperial Academy of Sciences studied many countermeasures.
It's like a trap or something, but the most useful thing is poison gas.
If you throw this kind of area into an area where wolves are active, you can basically get rid of most of the wolves, and there will be no harm to the plants.
These poisonous gases are naturally very harmful to humans, but it will take some process to directly use them in war.
This does not mean that poison gas can be easily used in war. Just like the poison gas bombs dropped in Senas City this time, how to ensure that the poison gas is effectively generated and can spread quickly is a very important issue.
Pengeo has not considered militarizing poison gas, so they can't talk about any results.
If they can participate in the convention, at least they can learn more parameters and information, thereby opening up the poison gas research situation in the Pengeo Empire.
As for the prohibition of research mentioned in the convention, everyone knows that this thing is just for fun.
Its real value lies in the final agreement not to use it, and now it is clearly the federal government's market, which may have the recipe for more than one chemical gas bomb.
Once the Pengeo Empire does not participate in this convention, the two main battlefields of Nagalier and Amelia will definitely be launched. In addition, the federal bombers may also be used directly against civilians.
For example, if they cross the sea and directly attack coastal cities in the Pengeo Empire, or even deeper cities, it will cause millions of deaths!
So for this matter, you still have to participate.
The War Secretary made it very clear, and then the Prime Minister stood up and added something.
"Your Majesty, do you think it is possible for us to launch a war of annihilation against the Federation?"
As soon as the Prime Minister's question was raised, the Emperor was stunned for a moment. In the past, the Pengeo Empire wiped out many small countries during its conquests, thus creating its huge territory.
For the soldiers and civilians here, it seems that it is not a difficult thing to eliminate the enemy's body and their country!
Even if the Pengeo Empire was blocked at the door of its home by Gaevra's Armada in World War I and beaten, it did not destroy the confidence of the soldiers and civilians of the Pengeo Empire.
When they learned that Gefra was just an island nation, they clamored from bottom to top to destroy Gefra!
For the Pengeo Empire, an island country simply cannot support a long-term confrontation with them. As long as the naval problem is solved, even if the battle damage rate is high, it is not a problem!
Fanatic thoughts will make Pengeo's warriors rush forward layer by layer without fear of death, and will either be torn apart by the enemy, or tear the enemy to pieces!
Even in order to deal with the main force of Gefra, the emperor secretly helped the Gefra people to obtain the Amelia region.
Yes, that is not the result of the Gefra people. They only have a navy and no army. They may always be ahead in naval strategy when fighting against countries with strong armies.
But without an army, there is no way to actually invade a country's territory, and naturally it is impossible for a country to cede land easily.
But they did it, not because they were great, but because the emperor had planned it very early.
He wants to use the Amelia region as a slaughterhouse, where he will consume a large amount of Gefra's vitality. Then they can seek a springboard to continue to advance westward, try to land on Gefra, and finally destroy this arrogant little country!
In the eyes of the emperor, most of the ministers, and the people of the empire, there is no opponent that the empire cannot eliminate.
But when the Prime Minister raised this issue that everyone ignored, the Emperor did not react for a moment.
After a while, after careful consideration, he shook his head solemnly, "We can't do it in a short time."
"The collision on the Mariro side made us see clearly that the Bayler Federation is not a country that can be easily conquered."
"They have a vast land, a large population, advanced science and technology, and productivity that is the same as ours, or even more terrifying!"
"Until a decisive force appears, we can't defeat it like we did in the past!"
His Majesty the Emperor did not hide his inner thoughts, but spoke directly. This is not shameful.
This is precisely the most real situation. During the last world war, no one noticed that a country with no history and no unified belief actually had such terrible war potential!
At that time, many people thought that the federal society was a mess, because it was a country of immigrants, and immigrants from all over the world would gather together.
With different ideas, different beliefs, different goals and pursuits, it is difficult for them to unite into one force like the Pengeo Empire!
Once they encounter a huge setback and encounter an invincible opponent, they will be like a loose sand in the beginning, and eventually disperse into a loose sand.
But no one thought that in just ten years of changes, it had developed to the point where even the emperor had to admit that he had been wrong.
In fact, they, or most countries and politicians around the world, do not understand the composition of federal society.
This is not a group of people who have no faith, they have faith, and it is certainly not God.
It’s something they themselves don’t admit or realize – wealth!
Everyone in the Federation has the same desire in their heart, which is to get rich.
The federal dream and fairness and freedom firmly bind them to the chariot between capital and the federation.
For people from other countries, they can sacrifice anything for their faith.
But for the federal people, they are not afraid of sacrifice for money!
They have never tried to understand this country and society, and naturally they will not understand this realistic and philistine composition.
The Prime Minister nodded slightly at this time, "I think so too. We can't reach federal territory in a short time, but their bombers can easily fly to our side."
"We need to leave the last bit of room for both of us to turn around, whether it's us or them!"
"We can definitely have more contact with the federal society and gain more understanding. This will facilitate our future strategic adjustments and grasp their bottom line during the final consultation!"
The meaning of the Prime Minister's words is actually very clear. Since we cannot completely destroy the Federation, we will definitely need to negotiate in the end.
Regardless of whether you lose or win, learning more about the Federation before negotiations occur and mistakes are made is the most responsible approach.
By participating in the convention, sending more people to the Federation to experience everything there, and bringing back more detailed things to prepare for future negotiations, is the most correct approach!
The emperor agreed to the proposal without thinking for too long!
They indeed lack a comprehensive understanding of federal society. Joining the convention is an opportunity!
