Blackstone Code Chapter 669: Script and director and true purpose
Text 0669 The script and director and the real purpose
"What does this have to do with the military?"
Five minutes ago, Mr. President was looking forward to a new day, but five minutes later he already had signs of a headache. "If the boat is gone, let someone find it. I really don't understand what this has to do with the military."
He refrained from swearing. Early in the morning, the military representatives submitted a "Navy Expansion Plan" to the President's Cabinet and the Ministry of Defense. The directly troubled Mr. President's head was buzzing.
So far, I have only heard of the reduction of the army, but not the expansion of the army.
Besides, there is no need for the Federation to expand. In a short period of time, there is no possibility of war breaking out in the whole world. Even if it breaks out, it has nothing to do with the Federation. The appearance of the military at this time is obviously a bit baffling.
The Minister of Defense stood at the desk of Mr. President. He looked at the report in his hand, and then spread his hands, "Yesterday, a federal freighter bound for Ameria went missing..."
Mr. President nodded impatiently, "I know, but what does this have to do with the military?"
The Secretary of Defense was a little embarrassed, "The military..." He quickly changed his words, "The Navy thinks this is very likely a trick of some countries, they want to see our jokes, our cargo ships are in The door of the Commonwealth will be lost, and the whole world will feel that our navy is nothing more than that.”
"Even if we can defeat Gavra's fleet!"
After saying these words, the Secretary of Defense's tone slightly lowered, not as excited as before, "Also, the Navy's establishment is still the defensive establishment of the escapism period, and it is a bit difficult to use."
When the President heard this, he flipped through the expansion plan on the table, and the room fell into a brief silence.
The view of the navy is that it is the golden age of the development of the federal navy. In the past, in order not to cause misunderstanding by some countries, the federation only had one and a half-complete naval formation.
A formal formation and a reserve formation. After the naval battle, in order to prevent other countries from taking the Federation as their main defense enemy, the Federation did not expand the navy, which also means that the navy has always maintained the scale of the escapism period. .
The era of escapism is a thing of the past. At that time, the military and soldiers were not valued by society. There was no way. But now the navy is clearly strong, and the federal policy has changed from conservative to radical. Some things must be changed. A change.
For example, expansion, after expansion, there will be more captains, more captains and even more generals, this is the key!
In the end, it's all about power.
There are three or five generals in a full formation, and there are too many generals. There are so many officers waiting to be promoted to generals. How can they be promoted without expansion?
Besides, a navy commander with only one formation and a navy commander with many groups are not the same in any way.
So it is not surprising that the Navy requested this expansion.
After more than half an hour, Mr. President had almost finished reading the report. He closed the report, clenched his fists against his chin and thought seriously.
He was able to gain a firm foothold and the military did give a lot of help, of course, it also has the credit of Truman, he is the bridge connecting the military.
The military gave him help, and he should give feedback. This is the way of the federal president as an official - people who give me help should give back double.
If someone doesn't follow this rule, everyone won't vote for him next time.
Mr. President is still thinking about re-election, he can't give up the military, but now the expansion seems a little... too aggressive.
This is not a simple matter of approving and sending it to Congress for discussion, but to consider the attitude of the entire international community.
The expansion of the navy means the strengthening of the military at sea, which means that there are more strike forces that can traverse the Great East Ocean, which has formed a terrible military deterrence for all countries along the coast of the Great East Ocean.
What if these countries join forces?
What if they go one step further and form a military alliance?
It's all **** thought, it's not that simple.
Mr. President looked up at the Secretary of Defense, "What do you think?"
The Minister of Defense pursed his lips and did not make a statement, but at this time his lack of statement is the biggest statement, which means that the position of the Ministry of Defense has been biased towards the military.
"You guys will really make trouble for me!", Mr. President complained very rudely. He could not refuse directly. After all, the support of the military is very important, and he cannot directly agree. This may bring Additional political risk.
He considered for a moment and then said, "Report to Congress for discussion!"
There is a smile on the face of the Minister of Defense. The Federal Ministry of Defense and the military belong to two agencies, but they overlap. Approving the expansion of the Navy means that the Commonwealth will have more generals, as well as some former generals. Opportunity to go further.
People from the Ministry of National Defense can jump back into the military and get promoted to a new level. People in the military can also jump into the Ministry of Defense to accumulate civilian work experience and lay a solid foundation for future promotion of senior generals. This is for everyone. all good things.
After watching the Secretary of Defense leave, Mr. President drank the coffee he was planning to savor in one gulp. He needed something to wake him up, or calm down.
Agree, but don't push, seems a little stupid, but this time period is too sensitive.
He not only wants to secure the support of the voters he already has, but also does not want to lose the support of those conservative voters. Any blind decision before the result is out is stupid and he must be careful.
With the approval of Mr. President, the matter of naval expansion was included in the process. At the same time, a large number of federal newspapers began to promote an issue-is it necessary for the Federation to show its strength to the world?
From the Commonwealth Daily to Daily Entertainment, whether it's serious current affairs and political publications, or the kind of tabloids that follow gossip and supplement girls all day, they're starting to ask this question.
We're already so strong, shouldn't it be time to let others know.
And one of the core events driving this is the disappearance of the freighter.
To be honest, if there is no push from public opinion, 99% of the people in the federal society don't care if a freighter disappears, because those have nothing to do with their lives, nothing at all.
Without their family members and their belongings on the freighter, none of them were moved when they heard the news.
But when this matter is raised to the level of a country's face and whether a country should show its strength, which involves the dignity of the country and the self-esteem of the people, the upsurge it brings has detonated public opinion.
You know, people have been embarrassed enough in escapism in the past few years, and the fact that escapism is worthless, so revenge activism has begun to flourish, and people are more radical than ever.
"63.1 percent believe that disarmament should be halted and the current navy should be expanded, with more ships to protect the federal merchant ships from pirates."
"Twenty-two percent of people believe that the current situation should be maintained, and that excessive display of force should not cause misunderstandings among neighbors..."
The poll results in the Lynch Reader's newspaper showed uncontrollable smiles on their faces, "The Federals are showing strength from the inside out, and the future will be a better future."
Sitting around him are high-ranking men in naval uniforms, including two generals.
Everyone had smiles on their faces, obviously happy with how the whole thing was going.
The aircraft company that Lynch engaged in is actually just a link, a node, and its value is to give the Navy and members of Congress more opportunities to contact.
What really gave Lynch his naval friendship was the plan he presided over to push for naval expansion.
When he proposed the plan, Mr. Trueman knew the Navy couldn't refuse.
Flanked in the middle by some low-ranking midshipmen is a lieutenant admiral who has been in the service for almost twenty years, and he doesn't have a few years left.
I thought that I could only retire with the rank of lieutenant general in my life, and then I would have regrets after the rest of my life. I didn't expect that there would be such a chance in the end!
Once the expansion is made, the generals within the navy will more or less change their positions. The colonel will become a brigadier general, the brigadier general will become a major general, the major general will become a lieutenant general, the lieutenant general will become... an admiral!
Of course, in order to push this matter forward, 60% of the members of the Congressional Armed Services Committee must agree ~IndoMTL.com~ and more than 50% of the members of the Congress vote in favor. Getting to this point is no easy task.
Due to historical and political issues, the military was very unpopular in the past. It was mostly similar to the kind that "can neither defend the country nor make achievements". Under the distorted propaganda of politicians, people did not like the military, nor did they I want my family to join the army.
So the Navy didn't consider this matter at first until Lynch mentioned his ideas and plans, which had a high success rate, and the whole thing didn't require anyone to pay a penny, Lynch paid for it himself Lobbying Congress to approve Navy expansion.
Faced with such a wealthy and influential friend who is willing to establish a relationship with the military, how could the Navy reject him.
Not to mention that Mr. Truman also played a key role in this. As a political spokesperson launched by the Navy, his attitude can also affect the Navy's choice to a large extent.
"Mr. Lynch, do you think we have a chance to succeed?", the lieutenant general made no secret of his desire, and the questions he asked were somewhat fruitless.
The major general beside him, as well as other school officials, all looked at Lynch with fiery eyes. This was the moment they were most looking forward to in the past ten years.
Lynch nodded without hesitation, "As long as I follow my script, the Navy can expand before the presidential election."
"Gentlemen, once we have the opportunity to expand before the presidential election, which means that we will have a second expansion during Mr. President's tenure, the size of the navy will be far greater than any since the founding of the Commonwealth. for a while."
"This will be the most glorious era of the Navy!"
