Chapter 1907 An Important Day
Capital has never been complicated, and its core goal is only one - more profits.

No matter how this war develops in the future, the victorious country will have the best chance.

If the federation can win, international capital will flow into the federation.

If Peng Jieao can win, international capital will pour into Peng Jieao.

It has no more choices, and no one is willing to use their wealth to satisfy other people's plunder.

Capital and capitalists, just want more money.

The Commonwealth is undoubtedly a country with great potential. In particular, the Penteio government took the lead in proposing armistice negotiations, which deepened international capital's views on this result.

The Pengjieao Empire is about to admit defeat, at least from the current stage, they do not have any advantages!

Tens of billions of foreign capital are constantly pouring into the federation, and their investment in the federation will soon be converted into the income of upstream and downstream enterprises, as well as the wages of workers.

These links that must exist will generate taxes.

Judging from the current relatively high tax rate, after 100 yuan passed through for a short time, at least 35 and at most 70 yuan entered the tax account and became part of the national finance.

External funds can fully support the Federation's current high-intensity war, and it's not three to five months, nor a year or two!

According to the views of the relevant departments, the investment in the current war is actually much less than that in the early days of the war. After another five years of fighting, there will be no major financial troubles.

This gave Mr. Truman greater confidence to continue fighting.

He also knows that a truce is not a good choice now, it is like two strong people fighting.

The giant called Federation had put his knife on the chest of another giant called Penteo, and had pierced his skin.

Just a little more force and the giant can be stabbed to death.

But at this time, the giant named Peng Jieao said that he had surrendered and was willing to surrender. Is this appropriate?

Obviously inappropriate!

Because the federation has not caused any actual, irreparable damage to Penteo!
After a few years, they have regained their national strength, then this will become the biggest threat to the Federation again!

If they want to admit defeat, they can, at least break their arms and legs!
The best way is to stab it to death, so that Peng Jieao will no longer have the ability to start a war!

Only in this way can the federation be the absolute leader in the next 30 years, or even the next half century, leading the world!

Federal Eagle also participated in this meeting. He sorted out the materials, and asked after Mr. Truman and other cabinet members finished talking——

"Mr. President, what is our bottom line in this negotiation?"

Mr. Truman frowned, "I'm considering whether to negotiate, because we all know that now is not a good time to negotiate."

"We have just broken through their blockade, and we haven't had time to cause substantial harm to them."

"But the hatred between us has been buried, and it is very deep and very much."

"Once the war ceases, when they develop again and have the strength to challenge us again, they will inevitably wage war again brazenly."

"My idea is to continue the fight and completely maim them!"

The Federation Eagle also quite agreed, "I have the same opinion as you, but we have to consider what the public thinks."

"Now the people are somewhat tired of the war. In three years, many broken families, the mainstream consciousness of society is changing."

"The people of the Federation actually hope that we can sit at the negotiating table more than the people of Penteio..."

Mr. Truman also sighed with a headache after listening to it. How could he not understand the thoughts of the federal people?
At the same time, he also understood what the Minister of International Affairs meant, and forced the Pengjieao people to leave voluntarily from the negotiating table, and then turned all this into the society's hatred of Pengjieao.

In this way, the war can be fought, and there is still a great foundation.

He pinched the bridge of his nose, "Indemnity, let's discuss the specific figure, so that they can't get it."

"Find two places in their country and nearby to build a military base."

"Since they lost, they also accept the result, adjust the tariffs, and turn them into dumping grounds for the federal government."

"By the way, let them hand over the main war criminals, the minister, the chief of the army, and their emperor..."

Except for a few cabinet members, the expressions of the others are very strange!
There is no doubt that this is obviously impossible for the Penteo people to agree.

Now they have no money in their hands, but they have to compensate the Federation for huge war reparations. They can solve this problem at all.

Either take out the tariffs and cooperate with the following dumping problem, which is enough to completely destroy the light industry and part of the heavy industry system of the Penteo people.

If it is a small country, they might agree after gritting their teeth. Anyway, there is no industrial foundation in the first place.

But for a big country, this is not just a matter of industrial technology and foundation.

With so many businesses affected, more people will lose their jobs.

The faster the unemployment rate increases, the heavier the government's burden will be!

It is not possible to establish a military base, which is too much of a threat to Penteo, and the Federation can launch military operations at any time to attack Penteo's important locations.

This is tantamount to putting a knife on their necks first, and the Penteio Empire will never agree.

As for their nobles and even the emperor standing on the bench of war criminals, it is completely impossible!

How could it be possible that they themselves were the rulers of Penteo to agree to surrender themselves to the Federation?
It's not a war to destroy the country, so in the end of these conditions, there must be no agreement.

As long as there is no agreement, the war will continue.

Moreover, these conditions were rejected after being beautified, and the people who were originally war-weary would also turn their possible dissatisfaction with the federal government into hatred for the Penteo Empire.

The Federation has proposed such a good armistice agreement, why haven't these people signed it yet?

The Minister of International Affairs nodded, writing and drawing in his notebook, he already had a rough negotiation idea.

The meeting lasted until the afternoon, and everyone had a casual meal at noon before continuing the meeting.

In fact, the content of external work is not too much. The military's current strategic plan is very complete, taking into account many details.

The federal military and the Ministry of National Defense have grown rapidly during the war, and with their excellent equipment, the current number of soldiers is still sufficient, and their ability to trial and error is stronger.

Local failures will not shake the results of the entire theater, but can add a lot of valuable experience to other teams.

In this regard, Mr. Truman need not worry.

What he has to worry about more is the domestic situation.

A large amount of capital has flowed in, and there has been a wave of development peaks in various places, which has created many new problems.

Almost all states are submitting some new things, such as expansion, such as the construction of interstate highways, such as newly added new sections of access to the national railway network...

Many things need to be asked or resolved by the presidential palace.

For example, there is a river and a lake between two states, which is related to the use of water resources.

Everyone thinks that their own development is more important. If a hydroelectric power station is built, how will the electricity be distributed?
How to solve the upstream and downstream water utilization?

Who owns the management and governance rights of the lake?
All kinds of problems may seem insignificant, but if there are too many problems, it is a headache.

Maybe, this is the trouble of a strong country?

The next day, the federal government actively responded to the various matters to be negotiated.

With the Minister of International Affairs as the head of the negotiating team, a team of negotiating experts was formed to go to the selected neutral area for negotiation.

The whole world seems to have great expectations for this negotiation, so all the fighting seems to have stopped.

The long-lost peace just appeared around people.

People have never cherished it before, but at this moment, they have never felt that peace is so beautiful!
Even on Gefraben Island, the atmosphere has eased a lot.

Everyone is expecting that once the war is over, the Penteo people are likely to retreat.

Although the weather is cold, there is sunshine in people's hearts.

The Secretary of War sat in the warm room, the fire of the log burning in the hearth licking the bricks.

He fiddled with the tongs twice, and a burst of sparks rose, and the flame burned more violently.

Since the main members of the royal family and other great nobles died in the shipwreck, there are now no more than ten great nobles on Gefraben Island.

The Minister of War is the one with the highest title!

At the same time, having lost these "political enemies", no one can accuse him of being a traitor anymore, which allowed him to live well during this time.

The only thing that is a little troublesome is that the Penteo people seem to know that he stole the royal collection, and they have been investigating around him.

Countless wealth!

Regardless of whether he will stand on the bench in the future, this amount of money is enough to make him and his family undergo a qualitative change!

Fortunately, the previous plan was well done, and now those people are only guessing about him, and have not obtained real evidence.

He hung the pokers back on the hooks by the fireplace, turned and re-rolled the blankets that covered his legs. "Once the war is over, the Penteos will withdraw."

"There will be riots at that time!"

"You should be very clear that everything I do is for this country, but those stupid people at the bottom don't understand!"

"They think I'm an executioner, a traitor, and I don't expect each of them to understand why I did what I did."

"Gafla can't afford any more damage, especially civil unrest."

"So I ask you, once similar riots or mutinies occur in some places, immediately dispatch the army to suppress them."

"Sacrificing a small number of people and retaining the foundation for resurgence, all this is worth it!"

"As for me……"

Some weird smiles appeared on the corners of his mouth, "...I will lead it to become stronger again."

"But before that, I still have one thing to do..."
