Chapter 1694 Appetizers
Lynch's words made Mr. Truman fall into deep thought. He was thinking about what Lynch said, and he was also thinking about the special country of Penteo.

Historically, it didn't start out as a huge empire, it was just a medium-sized country surrounded by some not-so-friendly neighbors.

This is the case with inland geopolitics, full of seemingly irreconcilable contradictions.

Culture, resources, population, and even food can make these people fight.

In order to make the country stronger, the first few emperors of the Penteio Empire set up national policies that have been affecting today!
All people participate!

From a certain point of view, this policy was not too special at the time.

Because it is essentially the same as the looting of nomads, burning, killing and looting everywhere to strengthen themselves.

Whoever grabs something belongs to him.

But it is different again because this is not a country dominated by nomads!
They have their own territories, their own city-states, and their own development and construction.

From the emperor, to the aristocrats, to citizens, as well as the untouchables and slaves at that time, they can all participate in it.

Slaves can become civilians after establishing military exploits, then become citizens, and even become nobles!
Anyone can get social status promotion, monetary rewards, slaves, land, whatever they want by participating in wars.

Now the nobles of the Penteio Empire are basically the first batch of commoners!
These people, the history of these families has inspired a lot of people who joined later.

This gave many people the direction to work hard. What really made Peng Jieao grow rapidly was the continuous victory after everyone's determination came together!
They crazily conquered one country after another, and the final victory of each war can make this terrible country achieve great development!
They were lucky, one country after another was annexed by them, and those people who were annexed soon became part of their fanaticism!

Everyone looks forward to war, everyone is keen on war.

This is related to the vital interests of everyone!

Even now, Mr. Truman thinks about it, it is a terrible country.

What's terrible is their fighting will to fight!

This is much better than some idiots in Congress, and it is also much better than those people who are always anti-war in society!

If a country wants to be in awe of everyone, it must be feared by people!

People will only be in awe of those bastards who can take everything from themselves at any time, but not the rich man who always gives alms to the poor——

Love is not awe!

Their fearsome will will make all opponents fear them!
Including now, according to incomplete statistics in the war on the Nagalil front, at least tens of thousands of Penteo people have died.

But not only are they not afraid at all, even those ordinary people are more eager to go to the battlefield!
They are like monsters who are not afraid of death, daring to face death!
It's scary and enviable.

There is a special course in the federal army, the content of the course is to teach everyone how to surrender in various ways.

The army is also allowed to surrender voluntarily if they lose the war and they are surrounded or unable to follow the large army to evacuate.

This is the difference...

Let's just say there's something wrong with it...

Mr. Truman's eyes are full of confusion!

Lynch seemed to have noticed the incomprehensible things in Mr. Truman's eyes, and he slowly explained.

Not in a hurry, not tepid, as if he was gently narrating something that had nothing to do with him.

Not too much subjective emotion is added, and this can be more acceptable!

"The development of the Penteio Empire is entirely based on their continuous victories."

"Every victory will make more people believe that they can continue to win, and that the final victory must belong to them."

"That's why people are so irrational, so fanatical."

"But they don't seem to have considered a question, what if they can't win one day?"

Lynch had a playful smile on his face, "The core of capital is the pursuit of profit. The capitalists in Penteo will buy a large amount of war bonds at the beginning of the war, or invest in the war through other means."

"I don't think they are patriotic. Their core purpose is still to pursue profits. At least in a country with such a social system, this is the most profitable business."

"But what if the war won't bring them benefits like before?"

Mr. Truman still frowned tightly when he heard this, "They lost to Gafla last time, but this time they are still so fanatical!"

For this statement, Lynch obviously disagreed, "That's because everyone knows that Gefla didn't really defeat them, and he didn't even have the ability to defeat them!"

"Once the main force of Gefra's army in the Amelian battlefield is defeated, they can directly regain the entire territory, continue eastward, and launch a landing battle at the place closest to Gefra."

"This is also the shortest part of Gafla. It is too small, with a small population and low production capacity."

"When they can maintain an advantage in a non-contact war, they may be strong."

"But once a contact war breaks out and all the main force is lost, the accumulation of the entire Gefra over the past thousand years will become the target of plunder by the Penteo people!"

"That's why they are so fanatical!"

Looting a country with a history of the previous year is an indescribably strong impulse for the fanatical citizens of the Penteo Empire!
They've done this sort of thing, and more than once.

They would plunder each other's wealth, bring back the things that those countries were proud of, and put them on display in museums.

And set up a sign in front of the booth.Whether it is wealth or spiritual needs, they can be greatly satisfied, which is the root of their fanaticism.

Lynch shook his head slightly, "What we have to do is to prevent them from seeing the dawn of victory. I suggest that on the one hand, we continue to bomb the mainland of Penteo, and on the other hand, we should start by dismantling their social system. "

"We can try to sell anxiety on the inside while providing an outlet for their capital power."

"At the beginning, maybe they won't cooperate with us so easily, but as the pressure in the cloth bag increases, they will eventually leave the bag one step faster than others!"

The cloth bag that Lynch mentioned is a local story in the Federation, which is actually a traditional interesting story of the aborigines.

But now the federation is deepening its history, and they have put the history of the aborigines in front of the history of the federation. It is said that the textbooks are going to be revised to meet this point.

This story is actually not very complicated. Simply put, it is a story of poor pressure.

Lynch borrowed this story to actually tell Mr. Truman that as long as the capital sensed something was wrong, they would flee as soon as possible.

Like the Great Depression before it.

When the capital realized that the growth of the federal economy was no longer as simple as slow, and even started to regress, the capital withdrew frantically without hesitation!
There are no sentiments and ideals for capital, because those capitals and capitalists who have sentiments and ideals have long since become the dregs in the stomachs of other capitals and capitalists, and have even been pulled out a long time ago!

The withdrawal of Penteio's capital car from the frenzy of war will immediately bring contradictions and conflicts to their society.

Although war is the best way to solve internal conflicts, it does not mean that it can solve all conflicts!

Will people be so fanatical when they find that they cannot benefit from war as they have in the past?
What Lynch has to do is to pour them a basin of water and add some other things at the same time!

In fact, Mr. Truman still didn't quite understand Lynch's meaning at this point, "What are you going to do, or what are you going to do?"

Lynch pouted, "I plan to teach their capital and capitalists how to make money correctly..."

There is still half a sentence he didn't say. Compared with the risky way of investing in external expansion, it is obviously better to plunder and annex internally.

Who the hell cares about wars when people are obsessed with games where one gold coin can be exchanged for two gold coins?

Mr. Truman thought about it for a while, and he felt that what Lynch said was very reasonable, but he didn't know exactly what Lynch was going to do, and to what extent he could do it.

If Penteio's capital forces no longer continue to support the war, then the war may indeed end early.

Of course, an early end does not mean the end of the all-out war. When it will end is up to the President of the Federation to decide.

At least until after he's re-elected, no?
"What do you need me to do for you?", Mr. Truman finally gave up trying to guess Lynch's idea, and he cooperated directly.

Even if it fails, it is nothing more than a low-cost attempt, but what is the only success?

Lynch made some demands of his own.

"I need some people who have been hiding in Peng Jieao's country to cooperate with me. I don't need the particularly important ones, just... maybe a few people."

"They have to have some assets, don't need too much, and have a little bit of influence around them."

"You know, it's hard to gain people's trust without influence."

Mr. Truman nodded, "This is very easy, I will find someone to cooperate with you, I am looking forward to what you will do..."

After coming out of Mr. Truman, Lynch stood on the steps of the Presidential Palace and looked at the straight First Avenue. The sun fell on him, and he squinted slightly, with a dangerous gleam in his eyes.

In his opinion, the capitalists of the Penteio Empire are too docile, or their methods are still at a relatively primitive stage!

The special system of the Penteio Empire has made life well for all the people in the whole country. This crop of wheat is so strong, what are you waiting for if you don't cut it?
