1695…ideas
When Lynch first entered the room, Mr. Trueman had not finished his work.
He is signing an application from a member of the World Development Council, a small country that wants to contribute some strength to the cause of international peace.
They intend to fully support this war, all-round support!
Send troops, efforts, and even money!
Of course, there is no such fool in this world who is willing to give anything without asking for anything in return.
They want something, and what they want is technology, development, and the future!
They need to keep up with the current international mainstream in industry. Only in this way can they produce products that are helpful in promoting the cause of peace.
They can also use these products to arm their own soldiers and reduce the burden on other countries. This involves a series of things such as heavy industry assistance and the introduction of science and technology.
The federation helps them complete the transition from backward industries to mainstream industries, helps them build assembly lines, and has a certain degree of industrial autonomy.
They then work hard for the Federation, helping the Federation share a small portion of its military pressure.
This kind of application is important at this time, because until now, many small countries in the World Development Council, and some neutral countries, still think that this war is only a war between the Federation, Gefra, and Pengeo military groups.
It hasn't spread to the whole world yet, so they stupidly stand on the sidelines and watch, not thinking about whether they will end up.
This is not a war between two forces, but a war about who can dominate the world in the future!
Many people don't understand this truth. They only think that someone loses, someone wins, and then everything is the same as before!
No, never again!
It might have been like this in the past. The collision between the two great powers would cause sparks to fly, but when the conflict was over, everyone would still be able to live their own lives.
Not anymore!
With the development of science and technology, the world is getting smaller and smaller. In the past, people going out to the city would call it "taking a long trip", but look at it now!
Trains allow people to travel quickly between different cities, and cruise ships allow countries on both sides of the ocean to communicate.
And as the technology of manned transport aircraft gradually matures, from military to civilian use, the distance between the world will become smaller and smaller!
This is no longer the story of "there are two big countries on the other side of the distant world, but they have nothing to do with us"!
The world has become a "village", and now the competition is to see who is the strongest in this village!
If these people still have naive ideas, they will soon be slapped by reality!
"Wait a moment!" Mr. Trueman continued to sign his name on each document without raising his head.
He has reviewed these documents, and now it is time to sign the decision.
For a minute or two, he signed maybe a dozen signatures and wrote some comments. Then he neatly put the documents into a bag and placed it on the left side of the eucalyptus.
The documents in these places have been processed by him. The ones on the right are those that he has not processed. The documents on the low table next to him have not been passed or need to be studied.
Such classification in different places will help the entire presidential office improve work efficiency.
He inserted the pen into the pen holder, looked up at Lynch, and extended his hand to invite him to sit across from his desk.
"I'm sorry, my time is limited and I can't have a good chat with you. If we have anything to say, I'll try my best to say it..." He paused and found a word to describe his thoughts, "...be more precise. Be direct!”
Lynch nodded, "I've been thinking about a question these days. Trueman, how long do you think it will take for the conflict between the Federation and Pengeo to come to an end?"
Mr. Trueman was confused as to why Lynch would raise this question, but as a friend, and since Lynch was very familiar with the situation, he could chat with him for a while.
Anyway, there’s only fifteen minutes!
He thought for a while and then replied, "Perhaps the results will be available within three to five years. This is our unanimous view, and it is also relatively conservative!"
The Defense Department believes the war can be over in about five years.
Of course, this is definitely not speculation to help Mr. Trueman's re-election. It is based on joint research and deductions by the military and the Department of Defense.
In the case where the war has not reached the mainland, the two sides are actually competing for their military investment in Nagaril.
The Ministry of National Defense expects to invest more than two million troops in Nagaril within two years, equip them with various military equipment of the same size and above, and build a large number of military facilities.
The same goes for Pengeo. If they don't want to easily lose this war that determines who has the final say in the future, they must at least maintain and exceed this investment.
Because the federal side's science, technology and military equipment are stronger than the Pengeo side, the battle damage rate is lower than the Pengeo people, and the pressure is on their side.
Moreover, this is a process of competing for productivity. The Federation only has excess productivity and has never had a shortage, so they have not considered these issues.
In three to five years, he defeated Peng Jieao and signed a series of agreements.
This time, it will not be like the final result between Gaevra and Pengeo, where the two sides settled the matter hastily.
The Federation has the power to directly attack Pengeo's homeland, and if Pengeo can establish an advantage in the war, it is also possible.
By the time the war ends, the agreement signed will no longer be a painless one, but will most likely be an oppressive one.
At least it must ensure that the Pengeo Military Group has no possibility of rekindling its war capabilities in the next twenty years or even longer!
Mr. Trueman still believes very much in the deduction results of the Ministry of Defense and the military.
He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Qi still looked the same, unhurried, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about a problem these two days."
"Does war have to put both of us on a relatively fair platform for a duel, because...", there were some small movements in his hands to show his inability to understand this matter, "...we need to pay attention to the spirit of chivalry? "
Mr. Trueman frowned, "I don't quite understand what you mean?"
"I mean, if this is an all-out war, why don't we use all the tools we have?"
Lynch's expression was like asking "Why don't you get insurance?"
Mr. Trueman rubbed his forehead. He couldn't keep up with Lynch's train of thought. "Are you saying that we have other ways to weaken Pengeo and thereby strengthen us?"
Lynch nodded, "Yes!"
"While I'm a little ashamed of what some people think of me, finance is the next best thing to armed conflict."
"In addition to giving them a military blow, we can also plunge them into a whirlpool from the economic and financial aspects!"
"A Pengeo who has no money, and a Pengeo who is not short of money. You should be able to understand what I am talking about, right?"
Mr. Trueman mused, then asked, "But how do we make them moneyless?"
Yes, this is a problem.
The previous problem was obvious and simple. Of course, a Pengeo without money would be more in line with the current needs of the federation.
Their lack of money means that this country, which has the same production capacity as the Federation, will have production problems.
The reason is simple, if you don’t have money, you can’t make anything.
But why do they have no money?
For the current Mr. Trueman, perhaps the military's shooting down more Penteo aircraft and destroying more of their equipment will be the biggest blow to their economy.
Indeed, you can say that, but this is too slow!
But how can we make this speed faster?
He suddenly became interested.
"How to do it?"
As he said that, he picked up the phone and called his assistant, "Help me postpone the later agenda..." He looked at Lynch.
Lynch raised three fingers, "Half an hour, I have important things to solve!"
He hung up the phone, then looked at Lynch seriously, took out his small notebook, and unscrewed the pen cap again.
This has been his habit for so many years, and he always thinks it is a good habit, at least not a bad one!
Lynch, on the other hand, began to chat about his thoughts.
"I have paid attention to Pengeo's social structure. It is a very strange society. Their capital power is restricted within a certain range, but no one puts a collar on capital."
"Instead of saying that the royal family of the Pengeo Empire is the ruler of this country, I am more inclined to say that the royal family is the leader of everyone."
"Because their royal family has been leading everyone forward. This is a terrible country and a dangerous country!"
The social structure of the Pengeo Empire is simple, but it is actually very simple.
Although there are class differences among the royal family, nobles, and civilians, the differences between classes are within the range they can accept.
Common people have the power to discuss politics with the nobles and the royal family. They will elect elders who represent public opinion and participate in various major events. Every time a war breaks out, the entire Pengeo society will fall into some kind of carnival!
Because this is an opportunity for all of them!
For the royal family, the territory will become larger and the majesty of the royal family will be greater!
For nobles, they have more resources, and they will have more wealth and influence!
For civilians, war is the fastest way for them to change their destiny and class. As long as they accumulate enough meritorious service in the war, they can also become aristocrats!
Including capitalists.
They invest in the empire and invest a lot of money. After the war is over, as the victors, they can get compensation and rewards on the corpses of the losers.
From its birth to the present moment, this social system has almost no shortcomings. Everyone has actively participated in the development, construction, and growth of the country and enjoyed the dividends brought by development.
Lynch looked at Mr. Trueman slowly, "It is very strong, and this system is also very special, but after all, it is not the shape of a normal country!"
