Blackstone Code Chapter 388: Strength diplomacy
Mr. President recounted everything that happened, including the commander-in-chief of the fleet, who ordered the annihilation of Guevra's navy in the event of a surrender.
Some people who didn't know the inside story very well stood up in horror after hearing it, and some people even told the request that the commander-in-chief of the fleet should be severely punished.
Everyone is expressing their views appropriately, giving the President and the President's Cabinet more information in their field, until Mr. Wardrick begins to speak.
"Mr. President, ministers, I have a question..." After Mr. President agreed to continue his speech, Mr. Wardrick asked a question that no one else had noticed, "This time we have a question for Gaffer. Can the battle results of the Royal Navy be replicated?"
Not only Mr. President, the Secretary of Defense, but also Mr. Truman and everyone in the conference room were all focused on Mr. Wardrick.
They were so terrified by the news that they were completely unaware that if the outcome of the naval battle wasn't a matter of luck, why were they so scared?
The Minister of Defense nodded, "Our new torpedoes can easily destroy all the hulls of battleships currently in service. If you ask if this can be replicated, I think it is."
In fact, what really laid the core of the victory in this battle was not the heavy artillery bombardment between the Federal fleet and the Royal Fleet of Gavra. It is no exaggeration to say that the naval soldiers of the Federation are far from the personal qualities and abilities of the naval soldiers of Gavra. , the difference is not a star and a half.
If it weren't for the various technologies to fill the energy gap between people, without those submarines and new torpedoes, the Federal Navy would probably lose in this naval battle.
Any strategy or tactical advantage has no specific value in actual combat, because the specific implementation is still an individual soldier, and the individual quality does not meet the implementation standards of strategy and tactics, then the strategy and tactics are well formulated. what use.
Fortunately, the submarine and torpedoes saved the battle.
Mr. Wardrick nodded, "I have a suggestion to hold a press conference immediately to show the world the data of our submarines, and the data of torpedoes..."
"Impossible!" The Secretary of Defense almost blurted out Mr. Wardrick's proposal, "These are military secrets!"
Mr. Wardrick shook his head, "Not now, people will soon get the specific data of these things through various means, rather than let them send countless spies, and some of our... It’s all holes, and ultimately we have to throw away these data. It’s better that we process it a little and publish it to the entire international community.”
"Now is the best time to show our strength. We can tell anyone in the world by publishing these data, we can exchange the lowest cost for the highest benefit."
"Whether it's Gavra, or those who are just about to move, as long as they dare to come, we can let them sink to the bottom of the sea!"
After listening to Mr. President, it makes sense. Although Mr. Wardrick did not say it clearly, everyone knows that what he omitted is the Congressional Armed Services Committee.
There is a Federal Military Commission in the Senate, of which 24 senators serve as permanent members, and they have the power to access all documents and materials related to the military in the federation.
Each of these people holds various secret foundations, and the military industry group will frantically stuff them with money every year.
These people can eat the money of the military industry group with peace of mind, so it is natural to eat the money of other people, and check the parameters of some equipment on the grounds of reviewing specific data. This is actually a very normal operation.
This is the way many military-industrial groups compete, knowing the parameters of each rival's upcoming new equipment well before a new tender begins.
Mr. President looked at Mr. Trueman, who nodded slightly, "I think yes, Mr. Wardrick's proposal is very constructive, which makes me think of some other things, but in general, I I think so."
Mr. President took the first board of the evening, "Then you will arrange for it immediately!"
Mr. Trueman walked over to the Secretary of Defense, dragged him to the corner, and whispered for a while.
In fact, there is nothing too special. It is to increase the data released by the Secretary of Defense after dawn by about 15% to 20%, and at the same time let him get some low-cost and high-return combat equipment as soon as possible. .
For example, a speedboat that only has one torpedo tube loaded and can be operated by only one person.
For less than 100,000 yuan in exchange for the battle damage of a destroyer, the Federation also made a lot of money.
It's shameless, it's mean, but it's also very effective.
As long as someone dares to approach the federal waters, they can easily launch thousands of torpedo boats.
As he was arranging how the Secretary of Defense could professionally deceive the media and the international community, Mr. Trueman saw Lynch sitting in the corner with a nonchalant attitude.
He immediately ended his conversation with the Secretary of Defense, walked over to the President and whispered for a moment, and Mr. President glanced back at Mr. Truman before turning his gaze to Lynch.
Most people's eyes also followed Mr. President's, looking at Lynch.
"Mr. Lynch, each of us has expressed our own opinions and provided some suggestions to the best of our ability. Can you also provide us with some valuable ideas?"
From this evening until now, Lynch has not spoken. Mr. Truman felt that it was not that Lynch had nothing to say, but he was unwilling to say it now.
Anyone who knows Lynch knows that his thoughts are very avant-garde, sometimes contrary to the mainstream of society. At this time, his thoughts must be different from those of the people in the room, and even the direction is different or even opposite. , so he didn't say a word.
Otherwise, he would have stood up and made this place his stage.
This is also the reason why Mr. Trueman did not invite Lynch to express his opinion. His identity and weight are not enough for everyone here to sell him face, but Mr. President has this face.
Lynch's eyes stayed on Mr. President's face for three or five seconds, and then shifted to Mr. Truman's face. He did not speak immediately and was still hesitating.
At this time, Mr. Wardrick also stood up, "Mr. Lynch, now is the time for us to unite. If you have any good ideas, please be sure to say them."
Mr. President and Mr. Wardrick, the weight of the two is enough, Lynch nodded slightly, "Actually, you are all mistaken, it is not the Royal Navy of Gavra who is fighting with us, but the Pirates of Preton The group..."
"Impossible!" The Minister of Foreign Affairs immediately gave a negative answer, "We all know that, that is the Royal Fleet of Gavra!"
Lynch looked at him like he was looking at an idiot. Of course, he couldn't blame him. Blame the previous president.
Isolationism is so terrible, so terrible that diplomacy is almost abandoned. This kind of abandonment does not mean that the federal diplomats are not working, or that the Federation really has no international diplomatic behavior at all.
Rather, it means that the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs is backward or even retrogressive in the way of handling international foreign affairs. Their thinking on diplomacy is still stuck in a few years or even a dozen years ago, and they have not yet figured out that in this world, Only fists can safeguard interests.
International diplomacy in the past was more tactical, because at that time, although the international community had established contacts with each other, it was unlikely to have close contact due to technology and other reasons.
Unable to launch a large-scale invasion, countries were relatively rational and methodical in their foreign policy until the outbreak of the World War.
Political diplomacy is no longer the mainstream. Power diplomacy is the current trend. Whoever has the ability speaks louder.
Now that the Gafras have lost, what the Federation says must be.
However, you can't do this for work. You need to pay attention to methods. Lynch nodded and agreed, "What you said is not unreasonable, so I think the best thing you should do now is to contact Ambassador Gavra and condemn it. Their royal fleet and pirate syndicate collude, and see how they respond!"
The first half of Lynch's sentence was a bit disappointing, but the second half immediately made people feel amazing.
How would they answer, they certainly won't admit it, once they admit that Gavra's Royal Navy and the Preton Pirate Group are together, then Preton controls the economy of the United Kingdom of Nagalil Did you do this at Gavra's request?
Once the seeds of doubt are sown, they can never be removed, and Gaevra is not likable, which will bring Gaevra into disrepute in the international community, as well as being watched out and isolated!
"We can first isolate Guevra diplomatically, spend some money, promise some favors, get some people who are condemned by conscience to come forward, rebel leaders or something, let them come forward and tell the whole international community that they It was also at the behest of the Gevra people."
"Secondly, I also have a question, where is our fleet now?"
Mr. Trueman was accustomed to Lynch's jumping speed, and he immediately replied, "On the way back."
"I just noticed that we didn't completely wipe out the 1st Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Gavra, they still had two battleships and some other warships that were not involved in this naval battle~IndoMTL.com~ and were also transferred to Amelia.”
The Minister of Defense nodded. These information were not top secret information that was blocked. Even Emperor Gaevra made this decision to the international community.
What they want to do is to deter some people with ulterior motives in the Ameria region, and tell everyone clearly that our fleet is coming, and those who are dishonest should be more honest.
"Go after them!" Lynch's words caused the atmosphere in the room to freeze for a short time.
If it is said that the fleets that participated in the naval battle were wiped out before, and those who open their eyes and talk nonsense do not admit that the other party is the Gavra Navy or more or less can say in the past, now go after and kill the remaining warships, Is it...
A bit deceiving too much?
"We don't need to start new battles, and we don't need to get close to them, just keep our fleet at a distance where we can attack anytime, anywhere."
"As for the reason..." Lynch shook his head slightly, "We are hunting down the remnants of the Preton Pirate Group!"
The Minister of Foreign Affairs couldn't help but said again, "The emperor of Gafra will go crazy, no one has ever insulted them like this!"
"No!" Lynch's tone was also very firm, "because we have reasons he can't refuse!"
