Blackstone Code Chapter 1263: Anything

The Prime Minister was obviously very helpless when he said this. He didn't want to tell the people of the Federation how much they needed food right now.

The problem is, the person in front of him knows what's going on right now.

His Excellency the Prime Minister has been working very hard recently, sleeping less than six hours a day, which is cruel to an old man.

One or two days may not be a big problem, but after a long time, it is a heavy burden for the elderly.

He must keep his fighting spirit high, or at least look energized, and as the Prime Minister of an empire, currently second only to the Emperor's supreme ruler, he can't be dozing off at work.

That would only raise serious doubts about his ability and energy to continue taking on this responsibility, and he would only take a nap when he was too sleepy to support it.

Ten minutes, no longer than half an hour, then rubbed his eyes, patted his head, and resumed work.

He feels very tired now. He really wants to rest, but when he thinks that the food problem has not been solved, he can't sleep.

Lynch did not give the Prime Minister any "favor" because he was an old man. "Prime Minister, after the extreme cold weather last year, the global temperature has become very abnormal."

"This dramatic change has resulted in the loss of many crops, worldwide, and this is a disaster for all human beings."

"The Commonwealth is also at the heart of the disaster. Compared to the total population of Gavra, the Commonwealth's population has exceeded 62 million and is growing by an astonishing number every year."

His Excellency the Prime Minister raised his hand and waved, "Can we stop talking nonsense, I just want to know, can I get food?"

"No!", Lynch's answer was also decisive, and he didn't care that His Excellency the Prime Minister interrupted his statement.

At the negotiating table, each key person in charge becomes extra sensible because negotiation does not allow them to be emotional.

His Excellency the Prime Minister anticipated Lynch's answer, and he proposed a new plan, "Isn't it okay to spend more money?"

"It's not about money, Your Excellency the Prime Minister!" Lynch's stance seems to be very firm. It's not enough to spend more money, that is, there is no talk.

But if the negotiation is over in a few words, then it is not a negotiation. His Excellency the Prime Minister regained his heart, "We can have some cooperation in other areas, nothing in this world is impossible, and nothing is can't be discussed."

Lynch seems to agree with this statement, "If there is, it's just not enough chips on the table."

His Excellency the Prime Minister was stunned for a moment, he frowned, Lynch looked as if he was making an appropriate ending for what he just said, but in fact he was expressing an attitude.

The Federals want the lion to speak, and they plan to slaughter it hard.

Even before they started, they took the initiative to announce it in this way. This is not a disclosure, this is an announcement!

"If you want food, you will have to pay a heavy price!"

That's what Lynch said in the eyes of the Prime Minister, and he began to think, to hesitate, whether it was necessary.

Actually... As long as you let the grain merchants raise their prices, Gafra's food shortage problem can be solved immediately.

But at the same time, a new question will arise. Once food prices start to soar, what will the poor do?

If they can't afford food, do they have to wait to die?

Maybe eating relief food is a good solution, but relief food is not a solution after all. It is true that it will not easily starve people to death, but it will not make people "live".

It is barely enough to sustain life for a period of time, without nutrition for a long time, people will get sick and eventually die.

Relief food can only make people die slower, but it can't stop the final result of death.

This is a very contradictory choice. The Prime Minister considered it for a long time before continuing, "Tell me about your conditions."

Before this negotiation began, Lynch had received some demands and a bottom line from Mr. Truman.

In fact, the federal government's original intention is to help Gavra. This kind of thinking seems contradictory?

Not at all!

Gavra has been playing the role of the world's big brother for many years. Maybe the world was not closely connected before. At most, everyone was active in their own homes, and they ran less in farther places. Not at all.

Gavra has long left a very strong impression on the federal government and the Confederates, and with their record in World War I, many people still think they are still strong.

Just as Lynch said to Mr. Truman that "the Commonwealth needs to win", the rise of the Commonwealth mentality also requires a process.

It is impossible for them to go from being a bystander to the world's development to the world's big brother all at once, which requires a psychological change.

Aid to the former powerful country is the most significant signal of the federal people's pursuit of psychological change.

If someone went to the Commonwealth to investigate, they would find that the Commonwealth had a relatively neutral and indifferent attitude towards Gavra before the First World War, and they didn't care much.

At the outbreak of the First World War, the attitude of the Commonwealth toward Gavra became vigilant and unwilling to offend, which is why the Commonwealth later joined the Victory League.

Everyone knows that joining a group at the end of the war is not a good choice, but... After all, the Federation is somewhat afraid of neutrality, which will lead to strong dissatisfaction with Gefra.

Until now.

If someone else does an investigation, they will find that the federal people who have been keeping a long distance from Gafra suddenly become close to this country mentally.

They are willing to amicably reach some kind of world partnership with Gefra, and they are willing to lend a helping hand when Gefra needs it.

In fact, this kind of mentality is not complicated at all, it is a kind of vanity and show off for a short time after being "rich".

Look!

The big brother in the past needed my help, and now I don't need to say more about who is the father?

Probably this is the mentality, even if you treat yourself a little bit harshly, the federal people must reflect this "friendship that will never be wiped out like the sky and the earth"!

Including Mr. President, I hope His Excellency the Prime Minister can call him and say thank you!

This is also what Mr. Truman specially instructed Lynch to express. He must reflect the attitude of Mr. President in this matter, and ask His Excellency the Prime Minister to call him as much as possible and say something nice.

This way he can be happy for a long time and be closer to Mr. Trueman in terms of handling some of the work.

However, Your Excellency the Prime Minister is not clear about these matters. This is the reason for the disadvantage in the negotiation. The information is poor!

It is obvious that the federal people want to give it, but they have to show the attitude that I will not give it. Who dares to mess with the federal people before they know what the federal people think?

Lynch recalled what Mr. Truman told him, and first proposed the first item, "The smelting formula of special metals, I have a list here, which contains a total of twelve metals..."

Gevra can be said to be the world leader in metallurgical technology, and the other is the Pengio Empire. These two war-mad countries have an innate talent in metallurgical technology.

Metallurgy is not an easy task, and even if you know what metal is in an alloy, you can't match it.

A difference of just 0.5 percent can show a different nature.

But even if you know how many metals are in an alloy, and how much each one occupies, you still can't match it.

The sequence of addition, the change of temperature, the duration, the method of reaction...

There are so many elements that can make people crazy, every practical alloy is born, it is actually a gift of God!

These metals mentioned by Lynch are used in the field of warfare, which is also destined to be unlikely to be realized.

His Excellency the Prime Minister did not immediately object to saying that it was impossible. He felt that he had to say it several times after he said it. It is better to say it only once after listening to it.

Seeing that he did not respond, Lynch raised the second request, "some simple research results..."

He said seven or eight things, all of which made some seemingly outrageous demands.

His Excellency the Prime Minister waited for him to finish before shaking his head and said, "We all know that these are impossible, but we are also willing to show our greatest sincerity and find a point that is acceptable to both of us..."

This is just an initial intention to negotiate, you tell me what you want, I tell you what I want, then the two sides pretend to argue, and then go back behind closed doors to discuss what your bottom line is.

Then around the bottom line, I began to bite the "price" tightly, and tested little by little, compromised, made concessions, and finally got a result acceptable to both parties.

Most of the time, the result of foreign affairs negotiation is very reluctant. It may be possible to change the time, place, change the main responsible person, and it may be impossible to negotiate.

Lynch didn't think that the matter could be resolved in a day. They asked the staff to quarrel for a while. Taking this opportunity, Lynch took the initiative to walk to the chair next to His Excellency the Prime Minister and sat down.

"I heard that the Federation has a lot of spy agencies~IndoMTL.com~ and you will also have clearing operations. Are you not afraid that you will be too close to me in front of so many people and will become the target of clearing in the future?"

Lynch smiled, "If the people of the Commonwealth need to clear me, I'm willing to do it."

The Prime Minister was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted. In the Commonwealth, public opinion is always kidnapped by capital. If the public does not oppose Lynch, no one can move him.

Not to mention that he has a good relationship with the President, senior officials and even the top of the Progressive Party, and the purge is just a joke.

"So what do you want to talk to me about?"

Lynch took out a cigarette, flicked it, talked about a cigarette, and looked at Mr. Prime Minister, who hesitated, but nodded and took it.

Two people, two camps, two mentalities, two worlds, just put their heads together and light a cigarette with Lynch's lighter.

"His...", Lynch took a breath, and then slowly spit it out, "...of course we're talking about nobles!"
