Chapter 0357 The spirit of internationalism
The conditions in any negotiation are flexible and negotiable. These can be easily changed. What is really difficult to change is the attitude.
Now the attitude of the Nagaril delegation has changed. Maybe Lynch has scared them.
Whether it is their own strength - a country that cannot even produce its own bullets and even fuel needs to be imported through Preton Trading Company, why should they talk about the word "military power"?
They have no power, no power of their own, and their police and soldiers can only be effective when they drive away and beat ordinary people.
As for going to war with the Bayler Federation on the battlefield?
That is always just a beautiful fantasy that their rulers have when they are half asleep. When they really fall asleep, their subconscious will refuse to acknowledge this possibility.
If they can't gain some respect through their own power, then would using Gaevra's power be a good option?
Relying on Gafula's military power is not a good choice like starting a war with the Bayler Federation. At that time, the entire Nagaril will become a front line, with flying artillery shells everywhere, and the war will destroy their homeland, regardless of Gafula's victory.
Even though the Federation still won, they all faced a more troublesome end.
War compensation and mercenary war expenses actually mean the same thing in many cases, a kind of blackmail and a kind of extortion.
After much thought, the delegation had unified its ideas, but what no one knew was that the delegation's opinions were not actually consistent with those of the central government of the United Kingdom of Nagalir.
The central government's idea is to continue to delay until the Bayler Federation and the Royal Navy of Gaevra fight a naval battle before making a decision.
Whoever can win will rely on his side.
Such a decision guarantees the rights and interests of Nagaril to the greatest extent. They will not ignite the war on the land of Nagaril, do not need to pay or compensate too much, and can still stand 100% as the winner.
of the party.
The idea is great, but the problem is that they don't have the ability to do it.
Unbeknownst to everyone, the Nagaril delegation decided to conduct the next negotiations themselves, and this was precisely the main reason for the change in the delegation's attitude.
They want to put aside their domestic thoughts in Nagaril and negotiate cooperation with the Bayler Federation, and at the same time represent the official Nagaril. This is probably the biggest problem with the social system of Nagaril, and these problems are also reflected in its name.
Above—United Kingdom.
In order to ensure that their own interests are not harmed, there is nothing that these people in the delegation cannot agree to.
In fact, Lynch felt that if Mr. Trueman showed a tougher attitude and found someone to continue to intimidate the delegation, they might not agree to make the Federal Sole the legal currency of circulation in Nagaril, at least in some provincial capitals.
Become legal tender.
This may not sound like a diplomatic negotiation, but it is exactly the most normal diplomatic negotiation, where favor and coercion always coexist.
"I want to add some supplementary terms..." After reading the complete meeting minutes of the third negotiation, Lynch put forward some ideas of his own.
Mr. Trueman poured some wine for the two of them, sat across from Lynch, and took out a notebook and a pen, ready to record what Lynch said.
Seeing how serious he was, Lin Qi felt a little funny, "You make me feel a little embarrassed by doing this."
Mr. Trueman replied seriously, "This is my respect for you. At least in my opinion, although you are a businessman, you often care more about this country than a politician!"
This sentence came from his feelings during this period. Before this, Mr. Trueman's attitude towards businessmen and capitalists was not very friendly. He did not like those guys who only saw interests, interests and interests.
But what happened during this period made him gradually change some of his views on the world. Compared with those politicians who can abandon their positions for money or other things, Lynch, on the other hand, has some of his ideas that are more conducive to the long-term development of the country.
.
His words caused some subtle changes in Lynch's expression. He didn't know what happened during his absence at Bupen, but he could feel that Mr. Trueman's mood and attitude were different from before.
.
If the other party is willing to tell him, then Mr. Trueman will definitely tell him. If he is not willing to tell, Lynch will not ask.
He threw away the distracting thoughts at this moment, sorted out what he wanted to express, and said, "First of all, let's talk about something that is not suitable to be revealed..."
Lynch took a sip from the wine glass. The spirit with ice cubes became less spicy. The low temperature made it easier to drink, and at the same time it had the unique effect of spirits.
He stretched out two fingers with the hand holding the wine glass, pointing casually without any real direction, "Preton cannot die, or if he dies, we have to create a situation where he is still alive."
"I have thought about it these past few days. A living Preton, a living Preton in any sense, is more in line with our interests in the Eastern Ocean than a dead dog."
"We all know that he is the leader of the pirate group. In order to prevent him and the remnants of his pirate group from retaliating against us, we need to provide protection for merchant ships traveling in and out of the Eastern Ocean, including but not limited to merchant ships from our country and Nagaril.
Establish safe shipping lanes..."
Trueman's subordinate, who was writing rapidly, suddenly stopped writing. He looked up at Lynch with some surprise, "I almost thought I was sitting in the palace of the ruler of Gevra now!"
The Ruler's Hall is where the Emperor of the Gaevra Empire handles work and is also part of the palace. Every few days, the most powerful people in the Gaevra Empire gather there to discuss some government affairs.
What he meant by this was that he felt that the content of Lynch's statement had no federal characteristics at all, but was more like what an important imperial minister said and was full of imperial hegemony.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Establishing a safe channel in the Eastern Ocean is nothing more than armed cruising of warships in a non-combat state.
The benefits of this are obvious. The federal navy can clearly understand the situation in all parts of the Eastern Ocean. At the same time, it has a clear understanding of the defense of some countries' coasts and the distribution of resources in some areas.
On the other hand, when necessary, these warships can rush to the war location immediately, are more concealed, and are a deterrent to all countries.
No one knows where those warships are at this moment. It is possible that they are far away from a certain area, but it is also possible that a certain coastal town will be bombarded in a few minutes.
It's just that these actions are not very federal. The federation has never shown such aggression.
However, Lynch also found some reasons for his thoughts, that is, Preton cannot die, and his pirate group cannot be completely destroyed. With these excuses, the federal warships are always in a state of combat readiness, no matter who
Can't find any problem.
Mr. Trueman felt a little emotional, who could be more patriotic than Lynch?
While those politicians discussed how much benefit they could get from speaking for interest groups, Lynch was thinking about expanding the country's influence and power in the Eastern Ocean. It was he who made Mr. Trueman change some of his views on businessmen.
Lynch smiled, "Should I take that as a compliment?"
The two smiled and raised their glasses, and Lynch continued, "We need supply points. Let's not talk about other places. We need to draw a deep-water port in Nagaril for the federal navy's supply and renovation in the Eastern Ocean.
’s port.”
Mr. Trueman, who had been re-recording for a short time, stopped writing again. He frowned, "This may not be easy. If we put the navy at the door of Nagaril, they will definitely be worried because we
An attack on Nagaril can be launched at any time and at any time."
Lynch's mind was spinning rapidly at this time, and he said directly, "What if the Preton pirate group continues to harass their coastal areas and carry out vengeful plunder and attacks?"
He sat back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and patted some inconspicuous dust on his trousers, "Continuous harassment, they do not have the ability to attack a coastal city, but they can plunder resources and set fire to the city.
Important building.”
"They can endure it once, twice, three times... That's the United Kingdom, and every province is like..." Lynch suddenly paused, and he shook his head, "No, every province is an independent country.
Kingdom, there will be people who will agree.”
"Once we obtain this military port in Nagaril, our armed deterrence scope in the Eastern Ocean will increase dramatically!"
Mr. Trueman continued, "Preton and the pirate forces he participated in were driven everywhere by us, so we established military ports in more places and protected more people, right?"
Lynch nodded, "That's true. This is a great spirit of selfless dedication to the international community!"
"Yes, yes, great sentiment, you really look like a politician when you are shameless!" Mr. Trueman laughed. Sometimes he himself felt very strange that he could actually compare with himself.
The much younger Lynch became something of a close friend.
It was amazing, he also tried to understand and make friends with other young people, such as his children, but he failed.
Maybe only Lynch is special and the only one.
When his laughter gradually subsided, he looked at Lynch, his eyes flickering, "Have you never thought about joining politics?"
"The Federal Charter and laws allow politicians to have jobs other than government work and also do business." His tone and expression were somewhat expectant, "You don't need to throw away anything in your hands to become a politician.
Being a politician will bring you a lot of benefits and conveniences!"
"If you can become a member of Congress... no, you will definitely become a member of Congress, and then you will be able to make your voice heard without relying on anyone's political influence. Wouldn't that be great?"
He was not very keen on forming parties at first. There were too many small political circles in Bupen, and he didn't join many.
But what happened during this period made him realize that he couldn't do it alone. If he wanted to truly do something for this country and the people, he had to have someone standing with him.
Lynch is a good choice. They work well together on certain issues and there is no conflict of interest.
