1847 Why Don’t You Speak?

It was already a day before Mr. Trueman received the news of the fall of the island.

Thanks to the help of Gefra's army, the Pengeos easily controlled the major cities and stabilized local security issues.

If everyone keeps resisting, maybe some people will join the fight against the Penteo people based on various ideas.

But now that all the gentlemen have surrendered, the people who still had such enthusiasm felt as if a basin of ice water had been poured on them. Their hot blood was instantly cooled, and they no longer resisted.

When the news came back to the Penteo Empire, the emperor's order was to transport a large amount of property back to the country from Gefra as soon as possible.

Whether it's various noble collections, gold, gems, or cash in the bank.

These can change some of the current situation, and at least give them some help in the war against federal invaders!

It sounds very interesting. The Pengeo Empire, which has always been proud of invading other countries, finally felt the anger of being raped.

The economy within the alliance is on the verge of collapse, the war has failed, and the support of the international community has been lost...

They picked a soft-looking enemy and pinched it. Little did they know that underneath this enemy's soft tomato appearance, it was a fucking grenade that had lost its insurance!

Apart from swearing a few words and then being blown to pieces, there seemed to be nothing more to reflect.

Of course, no one knows whether there will be any new situations inside Gefra Island, but the overall situation has been completely settled.

As soon as he got the news, Lynch received a call from Mr. Trueman, asking him to rush to the presidential palace as soon as possible to attend a meeting.

In fact, not only Lynch was invited to participate in this important meeting, but many international affairs experts in Bupen were also invited.

Originally, everyone thought that Gefra could hold on for a while, but now Gefra directly voted, which made the Federation very passive.

No matter how much everyone expresses disdain and contempt for Gaevra, it cannot change the possibility that the entire west coast of the Federation will be threatened by the sea!

The submarine force originally planned to be transferred to the war zone was redeployed by the Ministry of Defense off the west coast, along with a large number of minelayers.

If the Pengeos used Gefra as a springboard, their fleet could bypass the hemisphere and launch an attack directly from the Atlantic on the west coast of the Federation.

Whether they have this idea is unclear, but defense always precedes attack.

Just like those boxers in the ring, their first lesson is not to attack, but to defend.

They always look for opportunities to attack in defense, and the same is true in war.

If you don't want to lose too badly, the best way is to make a defensive plan first, and then try to find opportunities to attack.

In addition to military changes, there have also been some changes in the international situation.

Gaevra has been traversing the oceans for many years, and his influence in the international foreign exchange market is also very large.

In recent years, due to the prosperity of the Federation, the currency has depreciated, but it is still one of the mainstream international settlement currencies, and its status will be difficult to shake in a short time.

Many countries have stored a considerable amount of Fula, which can be regarded as another surge in its value.

After all, no one wants a currency worth one million in their hands to suddenly be worth only ten thousand.

Now that the Pengeo people have money again, they can purchase large quantities of international supplies. At the same time, the domestic economic situation that has been stretched to the limit will definitely be greatly alleviated. This is not a problem for the Federation that is currently at war with them. Good thing!

Moreover, the demise of Gefra is a very morale-boosting thing for the Penteo people!

Too many changes have spread in an instant, and now it is too late for those in the federal government alone to consider countermeasures.

Mr. Trueman decided to invite all international experts in Bupen and surrounding areas to discuss the core of the next phase of work.

To be honest, Lynch didn't expect the change to happen so quickly, but he wasn't unhappy at all.

Pengeo's war machine, which was about to fall apart, not only replaced parts, but also injected more energy. The civilians may panic, but the military-industrial complex will only laugh out loud.

The meeting was scheduled for 1:15 p.m. Lynch arrived at the presidential palace ten minutes early and found his seat with the help of the staff.

A relatively front position!

The atmosphere at the scene was very serious, with "I have something on my mind" written all over everyone's face. Lynch seemed to be the only one who looked very calm.

He sat on a chair and lit a cigarette.

There were other people smoking around, and he was using a loud lighter that made a "ding" sound when he opened the lighter cap.

Some people looked at him. When he made eye contact with these people, most of them nodded slightly in greeting, but some people looked away with dark faces.

At 1:14, an agent came in from the door and said softly: "Mr. President is here, everyone, please stand up..."

Everyone stood up.

Respect for the President, like respect for the federal government, is superficial.

After a few seconds, Mr. Trueman strode in. He walked very quickly. After walking in, he raised his hand for everyone to sit down and walked to the front of the table.

"I believe you have seen today's news!" After putting down the things, he skipped a lot of pleasantries and went directly to the topic.

"I didn't expect Gaevra to lose so quickly, nor did I expect that an important minister of a country would surrender at such a critical time."

"Thanks to the assistance of the Minister of War of Gefra, from the information I have received so far, it will take no more than a week at most for the entire territory of Gefra to fall."

"This has a very serious impact on our overall strategic deployment, which is why we are sitting here."

"The Federation has reached a very critical moment, and it needs the strength of each of us!"

"You can first talk about some of the problems that come to your mind, and then talk about solutions. Of course, it doesn't matter if there are no solutions. We can discuss and study them."

"The purpose of this is to enable us to identify the troubles we may face as soon as possible, and then work together to find solutions to these troubles."

"Just starting from..." Mr. Treman looked at the experts on his left and pointed to the first person, "Just starting from this... Mr., no matter what you think, we will not recognize it as Inappropriate!"

"Please feel free to speak your true thoughts. There is no identity, status, or law here today, only problems and solutions to problems!"

Lynch looked at the first international affairs expert, who only had a name and no resume.

This is also the result of being held in a hurry. If the meeting was not so hasty, there would usually be a certain title or introduction on the nameplate.

For example, "a well-known scholar in such and such a field", "the author of "such and such theory"", etc. This meeting was too hasty, and there was only one name on the nameplate in front of everyone.

This gentleman was not stage frightened. He coughed a little, picked up the manuscript he had prepared, and talked about his thoughts.

"I think Gaevra's industrial and production capabilities will be a big trouble for us. We have already heard about part of the Pengeo Empire's production capabilities through some channels."

"It has to be said that although their production technology is somewhat backward, their production capacity and foundation are not weak."

"Especially the production capacity, which is even significantly higher than our production capacity on some products."

"Under such circumstances, if they get Gaevra's production capacity again..."

The gentleman paused slightly at this point, and experts like that.

To put it nicely, it’s called heuristic chatting, to put it more informally, it’s called “appetizing”, and to put it worse, it’s just that you want to improve your own image in this way.

This is a very abominable behavior!

Lynch actually knows what he is going to say, as do most people. There are no fools here, and there is a lack of elevated horizons.

The expert himself suddenly realized this, and he quickly continued, "If Pengeo's production capacity reaches a higher level, they can arm more people."

"For a country and their people to be aggressive and vicious, how many soldiers they have is not dependent on how many are willing to go to war."

"It depends on their weapons and equipment and how many people they can arm!"

Mr. Trueman nodded after listening, "Yes, this is something we haven't thought of before."

"In their hands, Gaevra can completely disregard the working habits of the previous Gaevra people. They can demand round-the-clock production work in this country to arm more soldiers."

He glanced at the assistant beside him, who nodded, indicating that he had recorded it.

Then he asked again, "So do you have a good solution?"

Experts no longer hesitated and directly stated a hypothesis.

"We can find ways to destroy Gaevra's local industrial equipment so that they at least have no choice but to produce at full capacity without any worries."

"Even if it's just a partial destruction, it's very important to us."

A solution that can be said to be the same as shit, but can also be said to be a very good solution.

Mr. Trueman nodded slightly. He was not very satisfied with the result. "Do you have any other ideas?"

The expert shook his head. In fact, he still had some, but it was not convenient to say it now.

"Those who work in academia are different from people in other industries. They know how to be humble and decent."

Next, most people talked about their concerns, and some of them were indeed worth pondering. For example, they mentioned the problem of Amelia.

But there are also some people who put forward ideas that are a little... naive. For example, some people are talking about how to rescue the Gefra people from Gefra Island.

Most people talked about their thoughts, but Lynch remained silent.

Among the people here, he is actually the only one who can truly be called an expert on international affairs.

Mr. Trueman saw that Lynch still had no desire to speak, so he couldn't help but name him.
