Chapter 1677 Private goods
new week.

As soon as he got to work, the top official of the Ministry of International Affairs sent a report to the presidential palace and sent it to Mr. Truman.

He opened the report and looked at it, which recorded the results of consultations between the Ministry of International Affairs and the mission of the great prince of the Penteio Empire during this period.

Both sides have stated that the war will not end just because they sit together and negotiate, but this does not mean that they cannot cooperate in other areas.

Sometimes it is difficult for you to comment on the relationship between two countries, and the relationship between two countries and societies.

They may be hostile, but not so absolutely hostile, this is a very complicated relationship!
After Mr. Truman turned the page, the first article he saw was about the "Convention on the Prohibition of the Use of Chemical Gas Bombs".

During this time, the great prince of the Penteio Empire moved around several places, including coastal cities in the south of the Federation and important industrial towns in the north.

His attention is not entirely on the negotiation of this international agreement, but he is very interested in the social system of the Federation.

He didn't seem to come to negotiate at all, but more like to inspect the federal society.

However, since he was willing to actively cooperate and facilitate the conclusion of the contract, he tried his best to satisfy the eldest prince's curiosity and exploration of the federal society without involving federal industrial secrets.

In addition, the two parties also signed some other agreements.

For example, soldiers captured on both sides will receive preferential treatment, and a certain level of basic medical security will be provided on the basis of ensuring that captured prisoners have clothes to wear, food to eat, and will not suffer corporal punishment or torture.

There is also a promise that both parties will not carry out retaliatory abuse and massacres of local civilians after the outbreak and end of the war.

It seems that this is a very sincere contract with compromises in more fields, but both parties seem to have cleverly avoided some more direct issues.

For example, when attacking each other's industrial cities, ports, and military targets where civilians may exist, whether civilians will be avoided.

The Federation has bombed three cities along the coast of Penteo. It stands to reason that they should first ask whether the bombing of non-combat areas is reasonable.

But they avoided this question, and the federal people naturally would not take the initiative to bring it up.

Judging from the current situation, most of the eastern ocean is still firmly in the hands of the federal people.

Their bombers can directly transfer from the federal mainland through the island chain planned by Midway Island, and directly bomb the mainland of the Penteo Empire.

Of course, it was a good idea in the beginning, but the situation is slightly different now.

The Penteo Empire has strengthened its air defense forces in the coastal areas, and has stationed some fighter groups to deal with the bombing of Federal bombers at any time.

It is difficult for the federal fighters to return to the airports on the island chain after cooperating with the bombers to bomb the mainland of Penteo. Therefore, until the technology improves again, or there are new breakthroughs in aircraft or power systems, the bombing of Penteo's homeland is basically Will not reproduce!
Although it is difficult to realize this opportunity to sneak attack on Penteo's homeland from the rear, there is still a danger of being bombed on the front line and behind the line of fire.

Both parties are silent on this matter now, after all, they still plan to do some work in this regard.

Nothing will end a war faster than saturation bombing!
In the words of the highest official of the Ministry of International Affairs, the middle-aged man known as the "Federation Eagle", that is, they negotiated a lot of "hypocritical benevolence and morality" terms.

Both sides want to project their own image in the negotiation, but never discuss what they really want to do.

When he said these words, he did not avoid the fact that the federal government was also one of the parties involved. Maybe this is his style!

"Apart from that, we're talking about transportation."

Mr. Truman looked up at this guy who was only a little younger than himself in some surprises. He should have had a very smooth life if his presidential father had not been impeached.

But it's hard to say what he has gained or lost.

If his father hadn't been impeached, he might not have had to stand out from the crowd of politicians as hard as he is now, and hope that through his own efforts, he could change people's perceptions that were not correct in the past.

But he will also lose the motivation and direction to work hard because of this. With a successful re-elected president father, even if he does nothing, he has enough social status to fully enjoy the wealth!

Seeing Mr. Truman's attention focused on himself, he continued to explain to Mr. President.

"The cost of our transportation of materials to Nagalil is very high now. This requires not only the escort of warships, but also the use of anti-submarine reconnaissance aircraft throughout the process."

"In addition to many small-scale trade and transportation, they are not qualified to call warship escorts. In fact, many people have made demands that we can solve these problems."

"We really need to solve these problems!"

"So I talked to them about the safety of civilian transportation. If we can negotiate this point, at least they will not attack our civilian transportation on the surface. This is a very flattering thing for us!"

Mr. President also heard about it.

As the transportation between the mainland and Nagalil is almost cut off, the prices of many semi-finished materials have skyrocketed, and the market sales prices of various commodities have also increased sharply.

This has brought great inconvenience to the people who have already raised profits and taxes and are not rich.

Small-scale transportation is not safe, and large-scale armed transportation is an extremely heavy burden for ordinary enterprises.

Now every delivery of materials to Nagalil and pulling them back from there is a huge test.

Although accidents do not happen every time, as long as there is an accident, it often means that some companies will go bankrupt!

So the Federal Eagle wanted to solve this matter after the main work content was completed.

Once this item can be signed in the contract, then he will be liked by more capitalists!

You must know that there are not only small companies and small businesses doing business in Nagalil, but also giants like the United Development Corporation!

If he can get the support of the joint development company, then he has a solid guarantee of becoming president.

Looking at the excitement on his face that could not be hidden, Mr. Truman put down the report lightly, and shook his head slightly, "There is actually no need to talk about this."

"What do you want the navy to do if they use civilian freighters to transport military equipment?"

In one sentence, he was stunned.

From a subjective point of view, in fact, everyone is an "omniscient and omnipotent" existence. For any "conception" initiated by "I", "I" must understand everything!

Just like he proposed not to attack civilian freighters, he just thinks that the other party will not use civilian freighters to transport military equipment and soldiers, or he thinks that the Federation will not do so.

Is this a sign of naivety?
Yes, not quite.

Can be called the "Eagle of the Federation", who crushed the representatives of all the member states during the World Development Committee as the representative of the Federation. Such a person, on such an issue, would make some mistakes due to naivety or negligence?
Obviously, this is unlikely.Sometimes something may seem like a stupid thing, but it doesn't have to be stupid!

Just like the contract he is negotiating, once the negotiation is successful, the capital side will give him great support and attention.

This will be of great benefit to his future participation in the presidential campaign.

Even if the Pengjieao people continue to attack merchant ships unreasonably, it has nothing to do with him.

Because he did everything he was supposed to do, and it was the people of Pengjieao who broke their promises first, so you can't blame him for the people of Pengjieao's dishonesty!

Whether it's face or face, he got it all.

The top official of the International Affairs Department quickly came to his senses, "Do you think they can't do this?"

Mr. Truman has "matured" a long time ago. He is no longer as direct as he was in the army or when he first came out to work.

He shook his head, "I'm not afraid that they won't be able to do it, but I'm worried that the Navy won't be able to do it."

"Because we can't ensure that any cargo ship is not transporting weapons and equipment that they use to attack us!"

"Because we can't guarantee that every passenger ship sailing to Nagalil will be ordinary people, not soldiers in civilian clothes!"

"Whether it's us or Gefla, as long as we have the chance, the sea blockade against them will continue!"

"This cannot be discussed, nor can we agree on it, just as we cannot make such a guarantee!"

"On the contrary, now that the anti-submarine reconnaissance aircraft commissioned by the Navy to develop Blackstone Aviation has been installed, our control over the Eastern Ocean will increase."

"At that time, the merchant ship can take a short detour and set off from a safer sea area to Nagalil..."

The so-called anti-submarine aircraft is not very clever, it is just a replacement of some parts, and each anti-submarine aircraft is bound with a [-]-pound anti-submarine bomb.

At the same time, its mileage is longer, and it can cruise continuously on the sea for a long time.

Although the technological development of submarines is rapid, it has not yet exceeded the scope of people's understanding.

With the help of some optical instruments, the anti-submarine aircraft has been able to determine a wider range of "suspected targets", thus discovering possible submarines faster!
Mr. Truman gave his reasons, and at the same time he mentioned the Navy, which also made the Federal Eagle realize that he had failed to pretend to be stupid this time.

He smiled as if he didn't feel that way at all, "It turns out that's the case, I will end the negotiation with them on this content."

"Do you think we need some additions?"

"If not, we can sign everything in the next week!"
