Blackstone Code Chapter 1386: Pro bono help from the Commonwealth
College life is such a pleasant experience.
Some go to college and start laying the groundwork for their future, and some go to college, but they go to college to experience life better.
It can't say who is right and who is wrong, because people always pay for their actions.
What they enjoy is the present, so it is overdrafting the happiness of the future, and there will always be people who will regret it!
September was peaceful and demure in the Commonwealth, and the various entertainment programs on TV made most people feel an inexplicable joy.
Everyone is looking forward to leaving get off work early and then throwing themselves into the sofa and falling asleep in the snow.
This is the Commonwealth, a peaceful Commonwealth, it has no earth-shattering waves, just the same every day!
During this period of time, Gefra's noble struggle came to an end temporarily. The great nobles headed by the Prime Minister completely suppressed the middle and lower-class nobles, and abolished a large number of noble privileges.
To a certain extent, this is actually a great progress of the entire national system of Gefra, a kind of social evolution.
The privilege of the nobles is an important shackle that restricts the social progress of Gafra. Breaking these shackles releases various forces in the society, which greatly improves the overall national momentum of Gafra!
The abolition of aristocratic privileges also means that more commoners have the opportunity to work in the Gevra government and take up important positions. As ordinary people, they may not be familiar with their work for a short time.
But given them some time, they can do better than those nobles.
Some nobles, such as the little earl, ran to Amelia early. Prime Minister Gevra hesitated again and again, and finally did not do anything to the governor of Amelia at this time.
He is waiting, when this war is over and his authority reaches its peak, before taking action against the Governor of Amelia.
At that point, he'll be able to get even more support!
In addition, the various political exchanges and trade among the members of the World Development Council have become more frequent, and the pressure brought by the Pengio Empire and its allied countries is enormous.
Prime Minister Sedoras visited the Commonwealth on September 18. He hoped that the Commonwealth would send some fleets to protect them.
For this reason, Prime Minister Sedoras is willing to take out an island in the Eastern Ocean and lease it to the Baylor Federation for 50 years at the price of one Sylas.
One Silas is approximately equal to thirty-five cents of the Federation Sol. This price cannot be said to be free of charge, it is simply a free gift.
What is even more surprising is that the people in Sedoras are also very supportive of the Prime Minister's decision. They believe that if national security is handed over to the allied countries, especially the Baylor Federation, the chairman of the World Development Committee , that is the best choice!
Before this, the two sides had a very deep diplomatic relationship - the two neutral countries also need to stay warm in the war.
At the same time, the Baylor Federation entered the Eastern Ocean and walked northeast for about a week or so, and it was Sedoras, and the distance was relatively close.
The various exchanges between the two sides at the civil and government levels over the years have given the people of Sedoras a natural affinity for the Commonwealth. It is said that this proposal was also born under the initiative of the people.
Looks like... an attractive opportunity, but the federal government doesn't want to do it right now.
"If we send a part of the fleet to the Modric Port of Sedoras for a long period of time, it will not help us in the war that may break out in the future, and it will also affect our overall plan in the Eastern Ocean Theater. pose a certain threat."
"If Pongio's first phase of the offensive is in the north, we can use Sedoras as the second battleground between us and Pongio, vying for the advancing part..."
The officer made a more precise description on the map, and continued east from Sedoras for about ten days. It is the Lemar Islands, where there is a Lemar Republic, a neutral country.
(Map 1(loading...))
Because of the terrain, it is a country composed of many island tribes, and the connection with the outside world is not close.
The WDC sent them an invitation to join the WDC, but was rejected.
The Grand President of the Republic of Lemar stated that they would not lean towards the World Development Council, nor the Pongio Empire, they would strictly abide by the rules of neutrality, as in the First World War.
But their location is really important. The large and small islands are connected together in the eastern ocean, which seems to be very loose, but if these islands are turned into a military fortress, it will be a nightmare for any fleet. !
Unless they can "sink" island after island with cannonballs, they'll have to figure out a way to land and fight, and then clear each island of all enemies one by one.
Mr. President is also here, frowning slightly, "If we use Lemar as a battlefield, their grand president will certainly not agree..."
No one wants their own country's territory to become a battleground for other countries, this is the most ridiculous and ridiculous thing.
The senior Ministry of Defense official explained with a smile, "We noticed that the Pengios would invade Lemar, and we were just helping them defend against the enemy."
"So Port Modric will be our forward base to radiate the northern theater of the Eastern Ocean, and it will become extra important!"
Mr. President raised an eyebrow, and at first he was a little...not appreciative of such radical ideas.
But gradually he also began to get used to it, or numb.
The military, especially the Admiralty, has received a lot of dividends from the war, and the congressmen have shown their "fear" of the military, so that the budget proposed by the military does not dare to extend their hands.
It also greatly inspired the ambitions of the War Department and the Air Force Department that was being created.
The Air Force is actually a little bit better. After all, they have followed the path of the Navy to eat a budget of nearly 3 billion, and the Army is a little bit bad.
They don't have any big projects. Fortunately, Mr. Wardrick gave them a surprise this time. It is said that it is also an order of several hundred million.
Now for the federal military, no one is more eager for the arrival of war than them, including the emperor of the Pontgio Empire, none of these people are more eager for war.
In fact, these are understandable. After all, in the early years, the federal people felt that they were "weak" and could not do anything, so they had always been neutral, and they could only endure the arrogance of the Gefra people.
But who the **** knew that the "main forces of the world war" who were playing so lively could not help fighting, and the Federals stood up all of a sudden, and they wanted to prove that I was the **** best!
So in the military, any radical ideas are not a problem and can be tolerated.
For example... the officer in front of me said that a war on the territory of other countries seems to be deliberately revenge on Lemar because of their unwillingness to join the World Development Committee!
Of course, this is just a narrow association, who would really do that?
After all, the Federation is the beacon of morality in the world!
"I have no opinion on this proposal. It is our job to help the people of Lemar resist the invasion of the invaders."
After speaking, Mr. President felt so hypocritical, and added, "For world peace!"
In fact, everyone knows what's going on, and Mr. President agrees. This is doomed that once Penggio deploys troops in the Eastern Ocean Northern Theater, Lemar will encounter war as soon as possible.
The officer on stage continued, "So we need to make some modifications to Port Modric and the surrounding environment to make it suitable for our forward base, especially..."
The officer looked at Lynch, "...We need Mr. Lynch to help us build a stronger airfield as soon as possible. At that time, a large number of our aircraft will stop and land via this island, heading to the front line, or returning to the rear for repairs."
Lemar did not wish to intervene in this war, and certainly would not allow the Confederates to fortify their islands.
Maybe the Department of Defense had contacted them privately and the talks fell apart.
After all, everyone knows that once the Confederates have fortified their territory, they are not neutral.
But now it seems that they might as well agree to the Federation, at least this way...the loss is a little less!
Lynch nodded, "I'll let someone design a plan right away, and you can get it in three days at most."
The senior generals of the Ministry of National Defense nodded slightly. For a project of tens of millions, they can leave a little money.
Actually, this can't be regarded as complete embezzlement or embezzlement. The money does not end up in someone's pocket, but in the Navy's small treasury, which will eventually be used to distribute benefits to soldiers.
The main maintenance funds for military clubs around the world ~IndoMTL.com~ come from social donations and small military coffers.
Then Mr. President left, and some of the remaining things that he didn't need to know, or that he didn't need to waste time on, were all about engineering.
The military's requirement is to have a large number of shore artillery and intra-island transportation systems. They have to plan for the best and the worst. If they really can't defeat the Pongio people's sea fortress, they will eventually have to rely on these nails to drag them. Slow down the pace of the Pengios' advance.
This is the Commonwealth, who always think things through very carefully. It is said that the military has now popularized the words "I am willing to surrender, please follow the principles of war and treat prisoners preferentially" in Pongio's accent.
The military requires them to surrender in exchange for life if they have no chance to evacuate, or if they are in a desperate situation. There is no need to do unnecessary resistance to death.
The federal soldiers are also very happy about this, which is much better than sending them to death!
Being busy until evening, Lynch left the Ministry of Defense.
As soon as I walked out of the door, the hot air was filled with a hint of hidden coolness. In addition to the heat, I also smelled a hint of autumn bleak.
