Blackstone Code Chapter 1473: Survival
People have an innate fear of the dark, and as long as they enter the dark, it is difficult not to think of some negative emotions.
Easy emotions can also start to get a little tense, as everyone does.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the President was sitting in the study room with no lights on. It was a little cold. I don't know if it was because of the temperature or because of the phone call just now.
The person on the other end of the phone told him without hesitation that the person on the other side was Penggio's diplomat.
And the purpose of his call is to remind the president that this impeachment is not a trivial matter, because the Federalists are behind the Liberal Party.
Naturally, they will also find someone to replace him as the president.
When I heard these words, the president's scalp was slightly numb. Lemar's political ecological environment has always been simple and clean. .
The main thing is that there are few people, and there is no real benefit after taking power.
In addition to having one more title of the president or the ruling party, the big president and the ruling party have to help the entire country to speed up the economic construction, which is a tiring job.
If there is no interest, there will be no conspiracy, and no one will want to rise to the top and serve the people with a belly of bad water.
A person with a really bad stomach can't sit in this position.
So Lemar's political ecology was clean until this moment!
It turned out that the President didn't think about it, but now the Pengios, who are good at fighting inside as they are good at fighting outside, reminded him, and he suddenly woke up.
The former Lemar, whoever was the ruling party and the president, had to take on a lot of responsibilities.
Many responsibilities, few interests, and so much power.
But now it's different, the Commonwealth and the Pengios have entered, and the interests are beginning to exude an intoxicating fragrance.
Once the Liberal Party has become the ruling party, they will completely fall to the Federals and bring Lemar into the war. No matter what happens to the people of Lemar, at least they, the rulers, will get huge benefits.
It may be money, the Commonwealth is not short of money.
Possibly political, they could jump to a bigger stage.
It could also be...
As long as there are interests, there will be people fighting, and there will be people with bad water in their stomachs!
The president sitting in the chair was a little cold. He wrapped his clothes and lit a cigarette.
He didn't take the initiative to imagine human nature so ugly until this moment!
What's even more frightening is the phone call of diplomat Penggio.
After introducing himself, the other party took the initiative to talk about helping the President to fight the "invasion" of the Federals.
He also said frankly that the Pengios did not intend to build a military base in Lemar, nor did they intend to convince Lemar to join them and face the war.
Their purpose is to prevent the Federalists from succeeding. As long as the Federalists fail, everything will be fine!
In order to show his sincerity, he also gave the president another message——
"We detected some news through some special methods, Paradise Island may not be a resort, but a fortification!"
Until now, the president's head is buzzing, how come suddenly... as if Lemar has fallen to the federals?
After hanging up, he immediately looked at the map and called the person on duty in the office building, asking him to check some of the information provided by Lynch.
In the data, all the islands designated as resorts are in the southeast of the Lemar Archipelago.
And this direction is the direction of the Pengio Empire!
At this moment, the president felt that his brain was really not enough. In the competition of great powers, he found what he lacked and what the Republic of Lemar lacked.
He's smoking, his body is shaking slightly, and he's terrified of everything!
The next morning, he was sitting quietly in his office when someone knocked on the door at about ten-five.
"Come in!"
A gentleman who looked... very "particularly" walked in.
The reason why he doesn't need to be elegant is because he is really very particular.
His hair was heavily waxed and combed meticulously, the traces of each comb tick mark as if it had been measured with a ruler.
Width, angle, exactly the same.
His trim, attire, including his beard, eyebrows, is completely symmetrical, you won't find any asymmetry.
This gentleman has an almost insane quest for something!
"Hello, Mr. President, we were on the phone last night."
The visitor stood by the door after coming in and did not come in immediately.
Mr. President stood up and invited him to sit on the edge of the sofa.
The one in front of me is Penggio's new diplomat.
He was empowered by Emperor Pengio!
The president shook hands with him after a large number of each other.
"Honestly, I never thought this day would come!"
He's talking about something related to the Commonwealth with the Pengios in his office.
He also realizes that without the help of the Ponjieo people at this time, he is likely to be at a disadvantage all the time, and there is a real possibility that the Federation people will succeed.
But before working with the Pengios, the president still had some doubts.
For example...
"If you don't pursue your interests in Lemar, then why are you helping me?"
The president's expression was serious, as if he had experienced a lot overnight and became mature.
The word "interest" began to appear in his conversation. Seeing that the other party was about to answer, he took the first step to stop the other party.
"Don't rush to answer me first. Through my reflection on this period, I realize that Lemar may just be something like a chip in a casino in front of you."
"You all want more because it's good for you, so give me a real, convincing answer to the question of whether we can work together."
Pentio's diplomat has always maintained a very gentleman's smile, he is very handsome and very personable.
Diplomacy is different from other jobs. You have to let others see your first face, at least not to feel bad about you.
If a person is ugly, or scary, or can arouse people's negative resistance, many people may not even give him a chance to speak.
So in this era, diplomats are often very handsome and personable. Only in this way, no matter how firm they are in their hearts, they will give diplomats a chance to sit down and chat.
"Mr. President, for us, as long as Lemar does not fall to the Baylor Federation, it is the greatest interest and benefit."
"From here to the southeast is the coastline of Pongio, of course there is some distance here."
"If the Confederates launch an attack on our homeland from here, they will have some reserve, whether it's transportation, support, or whatever."
"But if they attack from Sedoras, their warships need to travel farther to reach our shoreline, and they don't have much leeway, and they don't have much leeway!"
"This would amount to a suicidal attack, and if they can't get supplies during the war, they'll be utterly perished off our coasts!"
"So for us, as long as Lemar does not become a federal military base and attack outposts, they will not rashly attack our homeland."
"Are you satisfied with not knowing my answer?"
The president probably understood it. To put it simply, if the Baylor Federation gathers troops from the port of Sedoras to attack the mainland of Pengio, then the fuel they carry is not enough for them to fight. Time to retreat.
Those warships will end up at sea because of the loss of fuel, and there will not even be a chance to re-deliver the fuel, because it is too far.
But if the attack starts from Lemar, the distance is shorter, and if you can't beat it, you can turn back. You only need some warships to meet it, which gives you strategic depth.
For the Commonwealth, you can't beat it once, but you can beat it a second time, a third time, and a fourth time!
Until the war is over.
But if they can only attack from Sedoras, they must consider serious consequences so that the Pengios can ensure the safety of the homeland.
War.
It's far away.
But at this moment, the president felt that the war was on his side.
Seeing the President pondering deeply, Pongio's diplomat continued to add, "If we can cooperate, we can bring more orders to Lemar, and these orders are enough for you to stabilize the current situation." /
“Secondly, in terms of international public opinion, we are the first to launch a public opinion attack on the issue of the Bayer Federation interfering in the internal affairs of other countries.”
He had a hint of arrogance and contempt on his face, "These people in the Baylor Federation are very hypocritical. They are like thieves, but they never admit their ideas!"
"They'll vehemently deny it because they want to be on the moral high ground, which gives you a solution to the current situation."
"You can take the opportunity to request that the government of the Republic of Lemar buy Lynch's early investment and let him go back to the Federation!"
This plan is actually very crude~IndoMTL.com~ but it is very convincing, because the person who gave this plan is a diplomat of Penggio.
A big country, a strong country, no matter what you do, you are very imposing and convincing!
The president was a little shaken at this moment, "Are you sure you won't interfere with our choice?"
Pentio's diplomat, knowing that the matter was largely settled, smiled even more charmingly, "Of course, I swear by my grandmother!"
If the president knew that the diplomat's grandmother didn't know how many years he had been dead, he might not have believed him so easily.
But at this point, he has no choice.
The looming shadow of impeachment and the federation gave him too much pressure!
He clenched his fists, his body tensed a little, but finally relaxed.
"So what do we do first?"
he asked.
