Chapter 1053 The Power of Poverty
The fact that Isabella successfully pulled together a small team did not attract the attention of the international community, and people's eyes were still on the issue of the Federation's foreign arms sales.

Under Lynch's "suggestion", the Ministry of National Defense also seemed to have figured out something, and included some slightly backward weapons on the foreign military sales list, and the price was very low.

It can even be said that military enterprises do not make much money by selling these munitions, not a lot.

The reason why military enterprises are willing to do this is that they can get some additional subsidies from the federal government on the one hand.

Second, it would also clear their inventory, at least without making them lose money.

You must know that warehouse storage itself is also a kind of "expenditure", but many people are not aware of this consumption.

But in the final analysis, the longer some things are piled up, the loss of value of the commodity itself is a problem, and the occupancy of the warehouse is also a problem.

Now there is a good opportunity to clean up these things and make money. The military industrial group will not complain.

People are not even willing to spend money to buy backward things. Except for some classic firearms, they can't pin their hopes on the purchasing power of the people.

The list of arms sales has been added, which also increases the content of the negotiations. In addition to paying the corresponding money for the purchase of these military equipment of the Federation, it is necessary to deepen cooperation in other aspects.

In short, under the impetus of this kind of thinking, the Federation's external work has achieved a huge leap forward.

"So... you plan to promote farming and animal husbandry in Marillo?"

Mr. Truman looked at the report in his hand and couldn't help laughing, "This is really a genius idea, let them carry weapons to farm and graze?"

On the territory of Sanchez and Isabella, some people have already begun to promote the benefits of planting cash crops and operating livestock.

For example, as long as they grow tobacco leaves or cash crops such as cotton, there will be special personnel to recycle them.

There is no need for them to bear extra costs and work, as long as the seeds are planted, and then when they grow and mature, the federal people will come to buy these crops and products.

The same goes for pigs, cattle and sheep. As long as they can be obtained, meet the requirements, and are not sick or problematic, the federal people will buy them all.

As soon as the news started to spread, someone reported it to the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of International Affairs. No matter from what point of view, it was necessary to do so. After all, this is also interference in the internal affairs of other countries.

Although not much.

Lynch didn't smile, "You think it's funny?"

Mr. Truman put down the document and spread his hands, "Sorry, I shouldn't joke about this, but it's really... Hehe, it's kind of funny."

"It's hard for me to imagine such a scene, you know?"

"The hatred between the Mallory people and the Mallory people is longer than the history of the Federation. These things can't resolve the hatred between them unless one side dies!"

Sociologists in many countries have studied the issue between the Malilos and the Mallorians. They believe that this kind of racial hatred with a long history cannot be changed by human beings at all.

There was an opportunity before, when history changed and the dynasty collapsed, there was a chance to change, but society still spontaneously chose a different direction.

Contradictions intensified again, more terrifying than before!
This is also the mainstream view. If one is not extinct, it will never stop.

It will not stop, which means that both parties will have a sense of crisis, and they will be on guard against each other, so Mr. Truman believes that economic actions can't change anything.

They will not lay down their arms because of this.

That's impossible!

Lynch didn't take Mr. Truman's "mocking" seriously, "Everyone has their own areas of expertise, so I won't take your unprofessional views to heart."

Mr. Truman gradually frowned, he picked up the document again, and looked at the content on it, "Is there really a chance to realize what is said above?"

Lynch slowly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, "You have never been poor, so you don't know people's fear of poverty, nor do you understand people's desire to get rid of poverty!"

What he said made it impossible for Mr. Truman to refute, because what Lynch said was not wrong at all, he was never poor.

He was born into a family of officers for generations, almost all men in the family were officers.

His grandfather's grandfather was only a sergeant sergeant when he was discharged from the army, and he was already a major in the federation when his grandfather arrived.

His father was a colonel before retiring, and he had reached the rank of colonel before leaving the army.

If it weren't for his hope to change the situation that the federal military lacks actual power through politics, maybe he is almost a federal major general now.

Many of his brothers and sisters are also in the army, serving as the middle and high levels of the army. How could such a family background have felt the power of "poverty"?

Even if this family is not "abundant", they will definitely not be short of money.

"Give me one." Mr. Truman hooked his fingers, and Lynch threw one over. He unpacked the cigarette and said, "A lot of friends say they like this cigarette, maybe you can consider it." Get some more."

Black Gold Supreme is not sold externally, but the super high quality does make many people who don't like cigarettes like it.

The reason is simple. The mellow taste and slight throat hit can make people feel like a "man". More nicotine can quickly make people feel pleasure by smoking it.

Until now, Duocai and Shihaoyun have not cracked the formula of Black Gold Supreme. They can also produce cigarettes with similar nicotine concentration, but the throat hit of these cigarettes makes many people unable to smoke it.

Only those old smokers who have been "tested" for a long time can smoke, but it is positioned as the top group of society, so in the field of high-end cigarettes, it is still dominated by one family at all times.

Lynch nodded, "This matter is very easy to handle, you give me an address, and I will donate some later."

He used "donate" instead of "send" or "sell". Sending often means that there is a transfer of benefits, which will cause some people who don't know the truth to be in an uproar.

Selling involves the abuse of the budget. Sensitive people at the bottom are very concerned about every penny they pay to the country. Some people even need to pay attention to these situations without going to work.

When they find out that someone is using their tax money to buy high-end cigarettes that they can't afford or can't buy, they will definitely explode.

Mr. Truman nodded, "I will arrange it."

He took a puff of the cigarette and let it out in a relaxed manner, "I really don't know the horror of poverty, maybe you can tell me?"

Lynch sneered and was not polite at all, "I can't use words to make a person who has never eaten meat taste the taste of meat after listening to my description."

"If you're not desperate for hundreds of dollars or even tens of dollars, you don't understand why people are afraid of poverty."

"Money is a simple commodity, but it can determine people's happiness or not, and determine people's happiness and sorrow. It has a much greater power than you can imagine."

Lynch adjusted his sitting posture slightly, "In short, I don't think there will be any problems with this matter. We will not buy these agricultural products from the warlords. We will go directly to farmers and herdsmen to collect them."

"In this way, the warlords will have no way to control the bottom of society. People at the bottom of society can get wealth because of cash crops and agriculture and animal husbandry, and they are more inclined to live a stable life."

"No one wants to be surrounded by chaos, everyone wants to be born in the Commonwealth!"

Mr. Truman nodded. "I'll try to convince Congress."

Because this kind of matter is related to the policies of the two countries, it is impossible for just one person to make a decision on his own. The purchase of agricultural and animal husbandry products of the Mariro people by the federal people at least involves the import of the federation and the export of Mariro.

This is the national policy relationship. It is easy for Mariro to talk about it, but the Federation has to convince Congress.

Lynch pursed his lips, "I'll give you a point of support."

Mr. Truman nodded, Lynch tilted his chin slightly, and glanced at the pen on the table, the former immediately picked up a pen, "You can just say, sometimes I'm not sure Can I read your expression?"

It's just a small complaint, a small joke.

Lynch continued, "If we could control the economic backbone of this country, how much influence do you think we have over Marillo?"

"Whether people can fill their stomachs, have money to buy the products they want, and live a happy life depends on whether their products sell well."

"When their products are unsalable, the first to feel the pressure is the Maliro authorities. Whether it is the military government or the central government, they will feel the pressure from the whole society."

"If they can't solve this problem, the people will overthrow them. Of course, I don't mean to arrange people to guide someone to do this. We just put some facts in front of them and let them decide for themselves!"

"We'll have a docile, obedient neighbor instead of a hellish neighbor!"

Mr. Truman carefully recorded the notes. When he finished writing the last word, he put his fist on his jaw, looked at the notes, and thought seriously.

Undoubtedly, Lynch opened up an idea for him that he had never thought of, which is a strategic layout at the national level.

He has been able to imagine more and farther, this method has surpassed the times.

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that Lynch was a lunatic and a genius, but it was a pity that he didn't want to go into politics.

"You should sit in my position, you can do better than me!", Mr. Truman said sincerely, this is not a compliment!

Lynch shook his head with a smile, "I'm sitting here, where are you sitting?"

"In the Oval Office of the President?"

Without waiting for Mr. Truman to say anything, he directly ended the topic, "We have discussed this issue before, and its result will not change in any way!"
