Blackstone Code Chapter 589: To despise the enemy
Text 0589 to despise the enemy
"There will be a formal engagement ceremony tomorrow morning..."
In the hotel room, the embassy from the Commonwealth is discussing a ceremonial process to leave tomorrow.
In international affairs such as diplomacy, all countries are still relatively serious and formal, and Gefra also has corresponding special ceremonies. From the reception to the final farewell, there is a set of procedures for the whole process.
Because it's too late today, everyone will check into the hotel first. Tomorrow morning, officials from the port city will come over to welcome the delegation on behalf of Emperor Gafra for the first time, and then everyone will say something in front of the reporters that they like each other. If so, something like "incentivize the successful completion of this business negotiation".
Then they will take the train to the imperial capital of Gavra to meet the emperor.
It is worth mentioning that they will meet the emperor, but the emperor will not directly talk to them about all the content related to this cooperation. As a symbol of the highest power in a country, if you want him to come forward, you must at least talk to them. The vice president of the Federation should send it, and it still requires a diplomatic visit in terms of political and military affairs.
Meeting, and only meeting, is also a kind of respect for Emperor Gafra, after all, this is a "backward" monarchy, and you have to abide by their backward traditions.
The Commonwealth always speaks of the monarchy with a sense of superiority that comes from nowhere.
The itinerary is very full and compact. The members gather together to make the final decision, and then there is the high-intensity work.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the room.
They live on the top floor of the hotel, and the entire floor is packed and arranged for the federal mission to enter. In addition to their civilian staff, there are also some sergeants who will protect the mission members.
When the door is knocked, the people in the room don't think that there are irrelevant people outside the door. Irrelevant people can't come in at all, let alone knock on the door.
A person with the lowest status walked to the door, opened it, and Lynch stepped in in one step.
"Good evening, gentlemen!", he always has a confident, sunny and clean smile on his face, as long as he is not a mentally dark person, it is difficult to hate him.
It took more than two seconds for the people in the room to realize it was Lynch.
Can't blame them, they did see Lynch when they got the final list, but Lynch didn't set out with them, Mr. Trueman meant they would see Lynch here.
They thought that Lynch had already gone to the imperial capital, and they would meet Lynch in the imperial capital - after all, for such a serious diplomatic visit, if someone arrives first, it must be to better serve the visit, such as First go to the imperial capital to find out some news.
They never thought that they would meet Lynch here. After such a short accident, the head of the regiment stood up immediately, "Mr. Lynch, I thought we would meet in the imperial capital."
The original plan for this visit was to be in charge of Mr. Trueman, but the president could not do without him, and the just-concluded state election did not calm people down, as the general election was coming.
This is also the time when the federal government has the most atmosphere. The state election will be followed by the general election. People have not completely gotten rid of the "confrontation" of the state election, and will fall into a more frenetic presidential election.
Some experts believe that this is beneficial. The results of state elections can often predict the results of the general election. The state election is essentially paving the way for the general election at the end of the year.
States already in hand can be ideologically strengthened to reduce the potential for wobble.
The lost states will become the next two parties... no, it's the three major hurdles that the three parties will overcome. They can focus more money and energy on these states, which makes the use of resources more efficient.
At this critical moment, which has already begun to enter the pre-election campaign, Mr. Truman is currently the most reliant deputy of Mr. President. It is impossible for Mr. President to let Truman leave the Federation and leave his side.
Even if this diplomatic visit fails, it doesn't matter to him, it's just a small sideline in the development of a country, and the president is his everything.
After several rounds of consideration and changes, the leader of the team was appointed by the Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs, and this guy and Lynch knew each other during the previous negotiation about Nagalil.
Seeing Lynch here, he also has a kind of...inexplicably stabilized thought.
He took the initiative to step forward and shook hands with Lynch, which also made those behind him realize some changes in the rankings of the people in the room.
Under the introduction of the Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs, Lynch finally met the main members of the mission.
In addition to the Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs, there is also the First Chief of the Federal Office of International Trade and the highest Chief.
The International Trade Office was originally the International Trade Approval Office. Later, the former president stepped down and the current president took office. In order to distinguish the difference between him and his predecessor, the word "approval" was removed.
It is said that the International Trade Office will soon be expanded into a new administrative department, not just an office, but before the actual expansion is implemented, the rank of the top chief of this office, the future first minister, is not yet Too high, just within the specs for this visit.
Then there is the third chief of the Office of International Affairs/Policy, also under Mr. Truman, and the second or third chief of the Ministry of Domestic Industry, the Ministry of Education and Scientific Development and other related departments.
Generally speaking... the specifications are not very high. In Lynch's view, this is more of a tentative visit, and there may not be many actual cooperation and negotiation projects.
This is actually quite normal. The Federation has just wiped out Gavra's Armada, and now it's time to talk about cooperation. There will definitely be some concerns in the country, some speculation, and Gaevra is a "backward" In a monarchy country, what if the emperor gets angry and chops off their heads?
The thinking of these people is still stuck in the "face issue" that intelligent creatures care about, but they don't have a deep understanding that in the world, between countries, interests are the eternal topic.
Let alone wipe out their first fleet, even if all their fleets are wiped out, Mr. President will go to the main gate of the palace to pee, as long as the benefits are enough, the emperor can still smile.
After getting acquainted with everyone, Lynch sat next to the Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs. He was a member of the diplomatic mission and an advisor.
"Mr. Lynch, I heard that you will arrive earlier than us." At this time, the undersecretary of foreign affairs thought that Lynch had just arrived.
Lynch nodded, "I arrived two days ago."
At this time, the undersecretary of foreign affairs thought, "Is it difficult for you to understand what you say?", but his response was also very fast, after all, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not the Ministry of Communications, "Mr. Lynch was familiar with it two days before us. Here, we just arrived, do you have any good suggestions?"
For fear that Lynch might not understand his own thoughts, he added two words kindly, "For example, is there anything we need to pay attention to, such as some of the customs of Gavra?"
"The Hundred Flowers Street next door is more fun. There are a lot of delicious wines in it, and there are some girls in need waiting for everyone to lend a helping hand." Lynch said these words with a serious look , people didn't think that way at first.
It's a very rigid preconceived notion that they don't think this "Mr. Ten Billion" would say something so plain and simple until a young man couldn't help but laugh.
Maybe he thought what Lynch said was funny, or maybe he thought Lynch was funny, but he smiled, and then everyone's expressions became a little weird.
Just when the Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs wondered if Lynch had taken the wrong medicine and said such frivolous words at such a solemn time, Lynch spoke again.
"I know some of you think I'm not prudent enough to go to...", he curled his lips, "I just want to tell you the facts, don't take the Gevra people too great."
"Pending the outcome of the naval battle, we may fear the invincible fleet of the Gefrans and consider our place in the bilateral relationship."
"However, gentlemen, the victors of the naval battle are us. The Gafra people's eldest princess fleet was almost wiped out, and we directly broke their courage!"
"It should be the Gevra people who gather to speculate about each other's attitudes now~IndoMTL.com~ not us, we are the victors."
"If you behave so cautiously, solemnly, or even timidly, it will create a lot of trouble for our subsequent negotiations."
"They will test our bottom line step by step, and will try to make excessive demands, because you are not acting like a mission from a powerful federation, but those who were beaten by the Gevra who were unable to do so. The embassies of the defeated countries who do not come to seek peace are as humble!"
"This will make them think that our victory in the naval battle is not reliable, and even think that if we fight again, we will lose to them, so gentlemen, we have to show a kind of self-confidence, not hiding In the hotel!"
"I believe that there are countless pairs of eyes staring at us inside and outside the hotel, and they are also analyzing what attitude and method they will adopt in the next contact with us. All this is based on their observation now. determined.”
"While we show that the influence of the victory in the naval battle makes us not care about the Gefra people, we will also secretly think about the next response and methods!"
The Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs stroked his beard. "What you said sounds reasonable. What do you think?"
Ten minutes later, Lynch took some unimportant members to Baihua Street. They waved banknotes to help those girls in need, drinking and having fun.
The news was quickly reported to Emperor Gafra's ears. He roared for a while, and then all his dissatisfaction turned into a helpless "presumptuous".
If he can't beat others, he can only be so aggrieved. He has already felt the feelings of those small countries facing Gaevra. It's very uncomfortable.
