1757 Visit and Bait
The fighting in a small part of Bupain seemed to have calmed down all of a sudden. Even Prime Minister Sedoras did not notice the waves of the dark side of the city when he arrived.
President Sedoras's visit to the Federation at this time caused great concern within the World Development Council.
There are only two reasons and two consequences for visiting the Federation at this time.
Either they were brought here by the Federation to mediate the ongoing war between Sedoras and Luupus.
Either the Sedoras people took the initiative to go there, with the purpose of launching a more comprehensive war, an all-out war, to seek help!
If it is the first possibility and result, everyone is not very interested.
But if it’s the second reason and result… everyone is interested!
Territorial expansion is obviously full of temptations for all countries at this time!
Why did Gaevra, the victor in the last world war, lose continuously in this war against Penteo?
Acting nothing like the victors of the last world war? !
In fact, in the final analysis, the population is still small.
No matter the number of soldiers or productivity, they are far inferior to a landlocked country that expanded after the year before last!
Pengeo's population, land area, and saturated productivity are several times or even more than ten times that of Gefra!
Perhaps when there is an obvious gap in science and technology, the Gaevra people can rely on the power of science and technology to force Pengeo to admit defeat by recognizing the gap between them, so that they do not behave like a victorious nation at all during peace talks.
Once they fail to do this, they will be crushed at the military and technological level. With their huge population and production capacity, the Pengeo Empire will be able to make Gefra unable to keep up with the pace of the war!
For the Gefra people, when one person dies, they lose one person!
Gaevra, who claims to have a population of 10 million, has no ability to resist in front of Pengeo, who has a population of hundreds of millions!
Moreover, the family structure of the Pengeo Empire is very special. They encourage more children, increase taxes for less children, and tax exemption for more children.
Coupled with the government's policies and the entire society's training mechanism for imperial citizens from infants to teenagers, they have more soldiers suitable to be sent to the army!
Gaevra has nothing!
Don't they want this?
No!
It's because the isolated island they live in limits the development of their population. If they were a landlocked country with a population of tens of millions or more, the Pengeo people might not dare to wage war so actively!
This also makes all countries realize that when the level of military science and technology is not too different, the war is about population, peacetime resource reserves, economic and financial strength, and industrial scale!
Everything mentioned above is all related to the land area.
Becoming a country with a larger territory is already moving towards the mainstream!
If the federal government is willing to support Sedoras in launching a unification war against Luupus... the members of the World Development Council also began to look at the surrounding countries with unfriendly eyes.
They always say that the World Development Council is the guardian of world peace, but Sedoras shatters this perception.
They are transforming from angels guarding peace to demons waging war!
The welcome and enthusiasm that the Federation people gave to the diplomatic delegation from Cydorus, including the level and scale of the reception, exceeded that of other countries!
The Federation people have a very strange sense and perception of Sardoras!
During the last world war, the two countries signed a lot of trade cooperation, which was actually an offensive and defensive alliance.
Everyone thinks they are weak, but of course Sedoras is really weak.
All the disasters experienced when they were "weak" will develop into a very special friendship.
And now that the Federation has become stronger, it’s like when city people move into a big house, the first thing they do is call their relatives in the country and invite them to swim in their own private swimming pool!
A kind of naked show off is mixed with this special friendship, a kind of complex, show-off enthusiasm!
The Sedoras mission came by boat. Not only were they escorted by the Federation's navy, but they were also escorted by flying formations in the sky.
The whole journey!
There was no interruption at all, as if the Federation had flying bases throughout the Eastern Ocean!
This made Prime Minister Sedoras understand two things.
First, do not mention unreasonable interest demands.
Second, hold on to the federal people!
He and other officials were mentally prepared, but when they arrived at the port of Bupain, they were still shocked by the prosperity here!
There are high-rise buildings everywhere. The planning of Bupain was changed in the past few years, and the outer ring expanded outward again to cope with the upgrading changes of Bupain's urban industry and population.
This has also resulted in a large number of high-rise buildings being constructed near the newly expanded Huanxian County!
This city, full of surging vitality, made the members of the Sedoras Mission seem to have something pinching their hearts!
This may be the most helpless moment for an official who is not corrupt, who is not corrupt, and who sincerely thinks about the construction and development of the country. Other people's countries are extremely powerful!
The Prime Minister stood on the gangway and saw Mr. Trueman at a glance. He ran over at a trot and stretched out his hands from afar.
But Mr. Trueman just stood there quietly, and when Prime Minister Sedoras was not that far away from him, he stretched out his right hand.
The Prime Minister of Sedoras trotted over, held Mr. Trueman's hand tightly, and sent greetings from the people of Sedoras!
The weather is still very cold, but that doesn't stop many citizens from watching here, and there are also some people of Sedora nationality standing together waving the Sedora flag.
All this made the Prime Minister sigh in his heart, and at the same time strengthened his determination to completely solve regional problems!
After everyone from both sides met and shook hands, everyone got in the car and left the port.
Next, Prime Minister Sedoras will first need to "rest" for at least one day, and may take two to three days at most.
Because during this process, the two parties will have a simple written communication about the subsequent cooperation matters and negotiations on other matters!
After the teams from both sides have discussed which issues can be compromised, which issues must adhere to the bottom line, and how low the so-called "bottom line" is, the most basic tone has been established.
The two leaders would sit together and talk about this in front of the cameras.
Otherwise, if someone suddenly throws out a content that has not been ventilated before, will the other party pick it up or not?
So it seems that everyone is talking, but in fact it is just a manifestation.
In order to show the importance the federal government attaches to the Sedoras delegation, Mr. Trueman even invited Prime Minister Sedoras to his "family dinner."
And he also invited Prime Minister Sedoras to stay at the Presidential Palace.
Of course, this is just a statement, and in fact no one will take it seriously.
After finishing his meal, Prime Minister Sedoras said that while he needed to rest early, he should also be with his team.
He then left the Presidential Palace under the escort of a special car.
At this time, the two parties had exchanged written opinions. The moment the focus of the camera left Mr. Trueman, the top official of the Department of International Affairs, Mr. Federal Eagle, walked into the study room with the document.
The first lady of the Federation knew that her husband had no time to talk to her during this period, nor did he have time to sleep on time, so she left very early.
Mr. Trueman sat on the chair and looked through the documents in his hand attentively. As he read, he shook his head. By the end, his expression had become a little serious.
"They want to annex Luupus and need some military and administrative assistance."
Federation Eagle nodded, "That's why I'm not sure what we should do!"
After Mr. Trueman came to power, the presidential cabinet and the center of the federal government have become younger.
Maybe people are not aware of this, and the media only occasionally say that the faces of this cabinet are the youngest in history.
They don't have the concept of rejuvenation yet, but in fact this government is the youngest, and this change is continuing.
Being young makes their minds active and they have more energy.
Mr. Trueman immediately understood the meaning behind this sentence.
This document mentions the current plans of Prime Minister Sedoras, as well as the response measures if the federal people support them to complete "unification".
Yes, the word "unification" was used in the document to bring the two divided regions back together. They found a suitable reason for this war.
Secondly, they mentioned that Cydoras lacks experienced middle-level government managers. They hope that the federal government will assist them with a group of talents on the basis of assisting them with military supplies!
This group of talents will become the middle-level or even high-level members of the Cydoras government!
They would become the high officials of each region, as well as the "province" as Mayor Sedoras called the "state".
There’s a reason, there’s bait, it’s really a bit nerve-wracking!
If the aid personnel they sent really became the future mayor, senior officials, or even higher-level government personnel of Sedoras.
This means that Sardoras will eventually complete the "federalization" without knowing it!
More than half of its officials from the top to the bottom are federal people, so more federal people will get opportunities, and eventually it will become another federation that is not connected to the federal mainland!
An irresistible temptation!
The top international affairs official didn't know how to set the tone for the request, and Mr. Trueman himself wasn't sure.
He was not afraid of the Sedorasians regretting it.
Since they defeated the Gevra people, the Penteo people who fought on the Nagaril battlefield have given up operating Nagaril as the main battlefield. At this time, Mr. Trueman has unprecedented confidence in the federal force!
If the people of Sedora renege, or later tear up the agreement and break their promises, they can use "protecting the personal safety and property safety of their own citizens" as the reason to send troops to Sedora.
Of course, to do this, you first have to eat the bait!
