Blackstone Code Chapter 338: Get permission
"Mr. President, have you ever seen a boxing match?"
In the face of Mr. President's question, Mr. Trueman did not answer him immediately, but asked an irrelevant question.
But there is no doubt that the four people in the room knew the importance of today's conversation, especially Truman, who started it, who knew better than anyone what he was doing, and how he what to do.
Mr. President did not answer immediately, but thought about the purpose of Mr. Truman's question, then nodded, "Yes, I saw it."
Mr. Telliman nodded slightly, "Then you must know that boxing matches are divided into several weight classes. Before each match, both players must weigh themselves before they can fight in the ring."
Mr. President nodded again, "Yes, I know what you said." He was very patient and did not urge Mr. Truman to end these irrelevant topics, but answered very seriously.
"Gavra is a very good, very good, heavyweight boxer with an impressive record. He knocked out one formidable opponent after another and won a gold belt."
"In the current ring, he is the most well-deserved strongest, and we...", Mr. Truman shook his head, "It's just a newcomer who has just joined the ranks of boxers, no one cares about us, no People value us.”
"So far, we have been passive on the diplomatic battlefield of the international community. Sorry, I see the country's diplomacy as a war, and we are clearly on the losing side."
"We have not proven our own worth and strength like Gevra or other countries, even if they think we are the same on the surface, but they look down on us in the bones, because we have never been in any of them. In front of us, we have shown our muscles."
"This is an opportunity, this is a great opportunity, we can show our muscles, let people see our strength, and then make them fear us!"
"This is indeed a war, a war over whether the Commonwealth can rise in a rapidly changing international situation, and a war that we must fight and win!"
"Actually, we have an opportunity that no one else has, because in the next military operation, we will face the world's largest naval force. We can test our own strength through this war. This is a very rare opportunity."
"Others who want to challenge Gavra don't even have the qualifications, but we now have a chance. If we can win this war, then we can get people's respect!"
Mr. President has always been listening carefully. Mr. Truman used the profession of ring and boxer to make the image of the struggle of interests between countries in Mr. President's mind three-dimensional.
No longer a conceptual thing, but two strong boxers standing in the ring, ready to fight because of the bell tolling.
With such a three-dimensional image, it is easier for him to accept what Mr. Truman said next.
But he made a point to the contrary, "What if we lose?" He changed his seated position, resting his chin on his hand, "Can't you think we're going to win, we're going to win, if we lose what?"
Mr. Truman closed his mouth, and the second chief of defense next to him coughed lightly and took over the words, "Dear Mr. President, I need to remind you that we will not lose." /
The president looked at him without speaking, waiting for his explanation, while the 42-year-old second secretary of defense spoke his views very calmly.
"First, we are better prepared than Gavra, and we have the initiative in this local military conflict."
"They are not familiar with the model of our warships, the performance of our warships, the range of our artillery, the destructive power of our warheads..."
"They don't know everything about us, but we know them better than they themselves!"
Although limited by escapism (this policy has been nailed down, there is no isolationism, only escapism), the federal military development has been greatly limited, but this does not mean that the military does nothing .
In a state where diplomacy is almost at a standstill, various spies and spies of the Federation are still running around the world, sending messages from all over the world, including the military equipment information of the main Gefra.
For example, the models, performance, advantages and disadvantages of their various warships are piled up in a room. People are always studying these data, and even studying every naval battle, constantly reviewing them.
They can't participate in the war. They can only feel the tragicness of the war and a passion in this way.
It is precisely because the Federation did not participate in the war that the whole world does not know whether the current warships of the Federation can keep up with the times and whether they can dominate a sea area.
This provides great convenience to the Navy. They can fight a variable-speed naval battle through this unequal information gap.
Yes, in the past two days, the staff officers and generals in the operational command of the Naval Headquarters have passed more than a dozen rounds of deductions and formulated a variable-speed naval battle that constantly changes the rhythm to destroy the familiar Gavra Royal Navy.
"Second point, our secret weapon is ready to use. Sorry, Mr. President, because you have only been in office for a short time, and you have not been exposed to some secrets."
"Actually, the Navy has been promoting a program called 'Wolf Pack' for several years. Now that we have entered the harvest season, this new weapon will greatly change the course of naval warfare."
Submarines actually existed for a long time, but limited by materials, technology and other reasons, it could not play a key role in the war, especially the attack problem.
In recent years, Weipai Industry has developed a brand-new torpedo, which solves the problem of submarine attack to a great extent, making it no longer just a sneak attack transport weapon that cannot control the situation of the battle, but a hidden weapon on the sea. Ghost below.
As a result, a ship company named Shepp received a design and production order from the Navy and entrusted them to produce a combat submarine that is suitable for the intensity of modern naval warfare and can play a role in naval warfare.
After five years of continuous modification and design, the submarine code-named "Ghost-I" was officially launched, and the sea trial was successful.
"Mr. President, from a military point of view, I don't think we will lose to the Gavra Navy. On the contrary, we have a great chance of winning." The Second Minister of Defense said decisively, with in his eyes Also with some frenzy.
If you can touch Gavra's Royal Navy, if you can defeat the navy that is known as the strongest in the world, the reputation of the Commonwealth Navy can be lifted all of a sudden.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You must know that both parties are actually part of the same covenant camp. They are all "own people". Apart from this coincidence, it is impossible for them to be militarily for any reason. Collision, unless until the next world war.
The military also believed that there would be a World War II, which most people think the same.
If you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait a few years or ten years before the Federal Navy can prove that they are no worse than the Royal Navy of Gavra. This is also the urgent idea of the Ministry of Defense and the military at present-do one.
Hearing these people's firm voices, Mr. President began to think. These people told him that he had to fight, that he would definitely win, and that he was not really afraid of such a collision. New 81 Chinese website updates the fastest mobile terminal: https:/
Some things don't need to be repeated a second time for him to understand. Just like Lynch said, the Federation needs to be reunited through a war, and it needs to regain its confidence through a victory.
"This is just the best assumption. Isn't Nagalil not planning to establish diplomatic relations with us now?" Mr. President was still a little worried and asked again.
At this time, the top head of the Security Committee's operations department, who was sitting on the other side of Mr. Truman, changed his sitting position slightly, "Mr. President, if the officials of the United Kingdom of Nagalil do not have any reason to harm the citizens of the Commonwealth, loot The personal property of federal citizens ~IndoMTL.com~ even colluded with pirates to attack federal merchant ships, what should we do?"
Politics has always been dirty, and even more so in international politics, because there is no even the most basic sense of guilt for framing other countries. As long as there are enough interests, there is nothing that politicians can't do. Dare to say, dare not do.
The words of the top person in charge of the Action Division of the Security Committee made Mr. President realize that these people have already made a decision, and he cannot hesitate whether to support or deny it at this time.
Once hesitating, he would appear to be... useless, he looked at Mr. Truman, "This is the war you're talking about?!"
"Yes, Mr. President, this is the war I said, and there is a certain possibility that it will become a reality. We will try our best to avoid this situation, but we still have to be prepared."
"But fortunately, given the current political situation in the world, even if we start this war, we won't be able to confront the full force of Upper Gefra, not even their main fleet. Meet us!" ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм
"Everyone needs to develop quietly for a period of time. Whoever destroys everyone's silence is a sinner!"
Mr. President took a deep breath and held it in his chest. He thought about it for about ten minutes, and finally nodded, "I agree with you in principle to launch this military operation, but I also have a request..."
"First, we must win!"
"Secondly, no matter whether it is a local military conflict or a war against Nagalil, it cannot exceed sixty days!"
