Chapter 2273

As soon as the overseas military regions were established, many people stood up to oppose the proposal. There were two main groups of opponents.

The first wave of people believed that the establishment of a new military region in Nagalil was a substantive invasion of Nagalil.

As Nagalil is a firm international ally of the Federation, the Federation should show the generosity and generosity of a big country on international issues.

The act of invading an ally is shameful and contemptible.

As the vane of civilization in the international community, the Federation should not do such a cruel thing.

Others believe that the world has just settled down, and the Federation should not conduct major military operations at this time.

The establishment of a new military region is one of the military operations. The easternmost part of Nagalil is close to the mainland of Penteo, and the previous landing battle was also started here.

If a complete military region is now established in Nagalil, it may stimulate the fragile nerves of the Penteo Empire.

It is very likely that the fuse of the next war will be buried.

At the same time, domestic anti-war sentiment and war weariness also reached a climax. What Mrs. Joanna did before made many families heartbroken, and they were unwilling to send their children to the battlefield again.

Although Mrs. Joanna has been punished as she deserved, she was imprisoned and unable to get out for a short time, and Mr. Truman was also assassinated by the father of the wounded soldier who died.

But people still don't want another war, and they don't want to send their children to Nagalil to serve as soldiers.

The death of millions of people is enough to shake the whole society, every family, everyone!
Coupled with the sex scandals from the South Central Military District and the Eastern Naval Military District, the opposition is strong!
In addition to these two groups of people, there is also a group of "pure opponents".

The existence of these people has no specific social value, they just oppose for the sake of opposing.

They have no specific purpose, and may not even be utilitarian, just to obtain the satisfaction they want through opposition.

Going against the policies of the federal government will give them the pleasure of being "rogues"!

Some of Bupain's investigative agencies also conducted a random questionnaire survey on this proposal.

In a total of more than 34 questionnaires conducted in 1000 federal cities, only 20.00% of the people supported the proposal, while 60.00% of those who opposed it were as high as 5.00, and [-]% of the people thought it didn't matter.

This approval rate is too low. Some politicians talk about this matter in current affairs programs, even if they support it, they are very careful in their words, for fear of causing dissatisfaction among the audience.

Those opponents are louder, and sometimes stand up to express their opposition to this matter through rich body language and loud voices!

Connor happened to have a public event on the night the proposal was submitted, and at the end of the event, he was interviewed by reporters.

A reporter also raised this question at this time. "Mr. Connor, Congress proposed to establish a new military region in the Nagalil area. What do you think of this proposal?"

If Lynch hadn't talked to him, he might have responded with a relatively conservative attitude that this was not a good idea or that he needed to know more.

But he talked to Lynch, and he knew that Lynch was planning a big move, so his answer would be a little more aggressive.

A small number of extremely radical voters will always feel that the current government is not radical enough. Connor's answer will please these voters, but will offend more voters.

But he also believes that it won't be long before people change those perceptions.

He pondered for a while and said, "I have briefly read the proposal, and I think the content of this proposal is very reasonable."

"At present, about 40.00% of our domestic food comes from Nagalil, and at least 50.00% of the five heavy-duty short-term labor practitioners come from Nagalil."

"The total value of goods we sell to Nagalil exceeds 27 billion federal soles every year, while the value of goods we import from Nagalil does not exceed one billion."

"The 17 billion trade surplus puts us in a more favorable position in trade relations."

“In addition to this, our total investment in Nagaril has exceeded 500 billion federal soles and is increasing rapidly.”

"I have read a report that in five to ten years, our total investment in Nagalil will exceed 1000 billion!"

"It is also the economic and financial center of the southern hemisphere and an important hub of world ocean transportation, which is related to our foreign import and export trade and transportation issues."

"In such an important area, we have less than 5000 garrisons, and their main job is to prevent Penteo from crossing the border!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's like we're dropping a bucket of gold coins on a downtown street without giving it enough protection."

"Anyone can take it and destroy it!"

"I don't think this proposal is wrong and out of date."

"On the contrary, I think it should be passed as soon as possible to ensure that the interests of the Federation in Nagalil are not harmed by any organization or individual!"

He talked a lot, and indeed read a lot of documents, after Lynch talked with him.

It is impossible for him to just say "support" or "do not support", and the reporters will not be satisfied with his answer.

He has to make his answers full, which contributes to his more concrete image.

The reporter was a little helpless at his long list of answers and could only ask again, "So you mean you support this proposal?"

Connor asked rhetorically, "I have no reason not to support it."

The affirmative answer, the reporters are very satisfied.

There are also some reporters who think that what he said is reasonable. After all, the interests of the Federation in Nagalil are too great to be lost.

Not everyone thinks so, a reporter joked in a low voice, "He thought the Nagalilians stood up?"

The surrounding reporters laughed in a low voice, like a group of silly beeps giggling.

As soon as he returned to the office after the interview, Gladstone pushed open the door very bluntly, closed the door angrily, and stood in front of the desk with his waist pinched, looking at Connor.

"You shouldn't have said that!", his eyes widened, "You will disappoint many voters!"

"We have talked about this issue before. In the face of emergencies, except for things within our control that we can make decisions about, we will always give relatively conservative answers to other things we don't understand!"

"You are not the president yet, your answer will change the decision of the voters when they vote!"

"You're screwing your most important chance ever!"

"More importantly, we have invested a lot of resources in you. You can't let your own ideas do it, at least until you win the election!"

"You have to be responsible for yourself and for the people behind you!"

He was very angry. Now that the anti-war sentiment is rising, it is obviously the stupidest decision to support sending troops overseas!
Connor froze for a moment, Gladstone rarely spoke to him so unceremoniously, which made Connor very uncomfortable.

The Commonwealth advocates freedom and equality. He and Gladstone are friends, not subordinates.

His attitude made Connor very dissatisfied, that's not how friends talk!
But he didn't show it, he raised his hand and pressed falsely, "Sit down first, and I will explain clearly to you."

Gladstone looked at him for a while before sitting down angrily.

His lungs almost exploded when he saw the live broadcast of the interview!
He just wanted to see what Connor had to say.

Connor pondered for a while and said, "Did you know that a big parade is about to break out in Nagalil recently?"

Gladstone looked at him for a moment, then nodded.

They have collected this information a long time ago, the Ministry of National Defense, the Military Intelligence Department, the Security Committee...

All the intelligence agencies got the news, but none of them thought it was bad.

This is exactly what the federal people, or the federal government, hope for most!
If there is any problem, solve it through demonstrations and don't turn everything into violent actions like in the past.

And letting them go to marches, demonstrations, and strikes is also very helpful for venting their anger.

If they did something, the anger would dissipate a little, and they would feel more balanced in their hearts, and they would recognize their actions—I tried my best, although the ending was not satisfactory, but at least I tried my best!

So when they heard that a big parade was going to break out, they just proposed to strengthen the local law and order forces instead of suppressing the big parade.

"You don't think that a big parade means they are dangerous?" Gladstone said this, as if saying "You can't be so stupid!"
Connor rolled his eyes, "Please, your assumption is only based on the fact that there will be no destructive behavior in this parade."

"So if, if there's a chance that it turns from a big march to a riot, do you think they're still safe?"

Gladstone immediately dismissed this possibility, "You should use your brain more when you speak."

"We have just won the whole world. At this moment, who would not want to challenge our authority?"

In Gladstone's view, this is impossible, but he ignored the education level of the Nagalilians, and the invasion of foreign cultures left them in a period of cultural chaos.

Under the invasion of foreign cultures, Akumari's thoughts are actually not as strong as the Federation people imagined.

You must know that the Federation at this time still advocates great revanchism.

Such thoughts exist more or less in the exported culture, such as the revenge fragments in some action movies.

The populism that Lynch talked about before is actually in the bud, but it is not so obvious.

Connor didn't have Lynch's strong persuasive ability, and he didn't know enough about these things, but he knew that with Lynch's participation in this matter, it would definitely not be too simple.

He was silent for a while, insisting on his point of view, "If they really did that, do you think my answer today will have a negative effect?"
