Blackstone Code Chapter 1459: Change yourself
The atmosphere in the conference room is a little heavy.
The policy of neutrality has always been the policy platform of various parties in Lemar. They are far away from other countries, and their lonely perseverance is in the Eastern Ocean.
There is no need for them to establish diplomatic relations with other countries, and there is no need for them to be involved in those terrible wars.
But now, they seem to be being forced to make a choice!
This incident is not a simple isolated event, it is actually the result of the stacking of many choices.
Mr. President is a little disappointed. In fact, he regrets it a little now, and the senior members of the Democratic Party also regret it a little. If he agreed to the federation at that time, he might not be so troubled now.
Actually, Lemar's feelings for the Federation are a little deeper than for Pongio.
At least they were all neutral countries, during the First World War. .
At some point their political stance was also unified, accepting the Commonwealth was much easier than accepting the Pengios.
Now, however, things have become a little more complicated.
In the end, Mr. President did not make a decision immediately, but discussed it first, and then decided how to contact after discussing a unified result.
The Federation has "own people" in Lemar. When the cloud of war suddenly enveloped the world, the Federation began to actively start the "Dandelion Project".
Dandelion is a very interesting plant. When its seeds mature, the seeds will gather in the corolla and become a fluffy ball, and then blown by the wind, these seeds will be scattered everywhere with the wind. .
The core of Project Dandelion is like this floating seed.
It is possible that tens of thousands of special workers scattered around the world after Pongio began recruiting.
Many of them are lurkers who live and integrate into local life.
Because they still have time, they still have a year or two, enough for them to settle down.
The other small part is constantly buying the middle and high level of various countries.
This is nothing to be ashamed of, it's all for the national security of the Commonwealth.
At the secret meeting of the Congressional Appropriations Committee, it was said that a lot of money was used to acquire middle and high-level officials and key officials in these countries.
In Lemar, someone was also bought.
So that night, Mr. Trueman got the news.
What he cares about is not the president of Lemar and his cabinet members, and some issues discussed between the ADP, but the people of Pengio, who found Lemar at this time.
Soon a world map appeared in front of him, and as a former senior soldier, he knew exactly how the map should look.
Actually whether it's Sedoras or Lemar, they are northeast of the Federation, in other words, if the Pengios are going to attack from this direction, then the north east coast will become the front line .
But Mr. Truman's gaze continued northwards north - Mariro.
Everyone knows that Penggio has the strongest army in the world, and they will not fight a landing battle with the Federation on the Federation's territory so easily.
This is not in line with the spirit and ideology of Pongio's powerful army, so he believes that the eyes of Pongio's people should be on Mariro.
Marillo has achieved freedom with the "help" of the Confederates, who have learned to oppose and resist violence, which just makes it seem like they are in anarchy.
Of course, this is also an inevitable process towards freedom and fairness. Only when it is first spread out and re-closed can it become a whole.
The lack of a unified regime in their territory, once the Pengios landed from Mariro...
That would be a disaster for the Federation!
While researching Pengio's past war history, Mr. Trueman discovered a less interesting phenomenon.
Pentio are good at getting the conquered on their side, and then go with them to conquer others!
Once they land in the Marillo territory, and the Marinos are not their opponents, it is very likely that the Pengios will encircle the Marinos to form a more formidable ground force and launch the ground offensive in front of them from the north!
This is an absolute disaster for the Federation!
The only good news right now is that some areas in the north are now depopulated because of the cold weather, so that these areas can be brought into a state of war without the need to mobilize ordinary people out of their homes.
He thought about it for a moment, and then wrote it down in a notebook. He needs to communicate with those in the Department of Defense to discuss it.
And this also increasingly shows the importance of Lemar. It is like a springboard between two worlds. Whoever grasps this place first can stop the opponent from easily causing damage to himself.
To the south of the Eastern Ocean, near the equator and the tropics, there are many islands. These islands can block the enemy's attack, but it is not as simple as the north.
Once the Pengios had a firm footing in Lemar, Mr. Truman didn't think the Sedoras would be able to withstand their invasion of Mariro.
The reason is simple, with Lemar as a supply station, their transports can completely bypass Sedoras and approach Mariro from a further north or other direction.
Sedoras can only be said to be a nail, nailing the large-scale operations of the Eastern Ocean, but there is no good way for small-scale or rapid invasions!
And Sedoras is Sedoras after all, it is not a state of the Federation, and there are many things that are not so easy to do.
Sedoras can afford a port and a nearby island to build fortifications for the Commonwealth, and they can't ask for more.
This also means that Lemar is going to be very important!
National matters are dealt with significantly faster in the Commonwealth than those... not particularly important.
Lynch was also asked to attend the meeting because he was the contractor for the Port Modric fortifications.
On this island, he not only built a large military port, but also built a large airport, and built many forts on the surrounding small islands.
If the strategy changes, Lynch is here to make timely adjustments.
The whole meeting was rather boring, and most of the time was spent in silence. In the end, the strategic command believed that there was more than half of the possibility that the Pengios would open the situation from the Mariro side.
This is indeed a disaster for the Federation. Once the local war starts, no matter whether it wins or loses, it is an unbearable failure for the Federation!
"We can control Lemar first...", an officer of the strategic command put forward his own thoughts, "On the one hand, we can take these possible precautions."
"We can set up some fortifications at the important hubs in the north, and place some mines in the sea area of the Marillo East Ocean."
"Then proceed to have Lemar on our side." He glanced at Lynch and smiled, "My personal suggestion is that now the construction of Port Modric can be ostensibly stopped, and we can first Second round of diplomatic negotiations with Lemar."
Lynch has no attitude towards this. He said that he can stop or start work at any time. Anyway, the federal government's military budget is not short of his money.
Exchanging attitude for diplomacy is a very common diplomatic method, which is also a manifestation of sincerity.
It is Mr. Trueman who is in charge of diplomacy now. He thought about it and agreed first.
To make a decision without touching it is an act of irresponsibility to yourself, your job, and the future of the Commonwealth!
Lynch originally wanted to go first, but Mr. Trueman had something to say to him and asked him to wait.
The result is about forty minutes.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Opening the car door and getting into the car, Mr. Trueman first apologized to Lynch for taking so long to come out, then he sighed, "More and more things are bothering me. I can't keep up with my energy."
As the war draws nearer, some members of the World Development Council expressed hope that the Federals would better send some troops to help them resist the attack of Pongio's army.
The people who expressed this willingness were all small countries, and they didn't have any strong military confrontation capabilities themselves.
Now the Federation is a core country and is in the development stage. If it refuses, it will not be very good.
But if you agree, it will weaken the federation's own strategic plan. Now Penggio has started to launch diplomatic tactics, and maybe the war will break out in the first half of next year!
For the first time, Mr. Truman felt that there was not enough time and energy. Even if he worked until two or three o'clock in the evening every day, he got up at eight o'clock in the morning to continue working, and there was still something to do.
Lynch looked at him tiredly rubbing his cheeks with a half-smile, "In fact, there are some things, we have easy choices, but for some reasons we don't want to make ourselves so easy."
Mr. Trueman turned his head to look at Lynch, feeling that there was something else in Lynch's words.
Lynch smiled, "If Lemar's president can't be on our side, then why don't we switch to another president who supports us in the final period?"
“They also have a lot of political parties in their country ~IndoMTL.com~ and a lot of regional forces, all of which can be used.”
"There will always be someone willing to be on our side, we just need to give them a hand!"
Mr. Truman was thoughtful, and in fact they discussed it in small circles.
In the end, however, they opted for a more complicated approach.
Sometimes people are always bound by human ethics and moral principles. They know that some problems are easy to solve, but they always see troublesome solutions.
It's not that hard to cross the past.
Mr. Trueman did not answer, but seemed to have some new decisions in mind.
He then talked about what he had to say to Lynch.
"I'm too busy during this time to take care of the election office. If you have time, please take care of it for me."
"There are not many people I can trust, and even fewer people who can help me at this time, you are one!"
