Chapter 389 Strength Diplomacy
Mr. President said everything that happened, including the commander-in-chief of the fleet ordered the complete annihilation of Gefra's navy when the opponent surrendered.

Some people who were not very clear about the inside story stood up in horror after hearing this, and some people even complained that the commander-in-chief of the fleet should be severely punished.

Everyone is expressing their views appropriately and giving the President and the President's Cabinet more reference information in the field they are engaged in until Mr. Wardrick started to speak.

"Mr. President, members of the cabinet, I have a question..." After Mr. President agreed to continue his speech, Mr. Wardrick asked a question that no one else noticed, "This time we have a question about the Royal Navy of Gabriel. Is it possible to replicate the results of the battle?"

Not only the President, the Minister of Defense, but even Mr. Truman and everyone in the conference room focused their attention on Mr. Wardrick.

They were so frightened by the news that they didn't realize at all that if the outcome of this naval battle was not due to luck, why were they so frightened?

The Minister of Defense nodded, "Our new torpedo can easily destroy the hulls of all battleships currently in service. If you ask whether this can be replicated, I think it can."

In fact, what really laid the core of victory in this battle was not the heavy artillery confrontation between the Federation's fleet and the Gefra Royal Fleet. It is no exaggeration to say that the personal qualities, abilities, and abilities of the Federation's naval soldiers are far from those of the Gefra's. Not a star.

If it wasn't for filling the performance gap between people in various technologies, if it weren't for those submarines and new torpedoes, the Federal Navy would probably lose in this naval battle.

Any strategic or tactical advantage actually has no specific value in actual combat, because the specific implementation is still individual soldiers, and the individual quality does not meet the execution standards of strategies and tactics, so it is useless to formulate strategies and tactics no matter how good they are.

Fortunately, submarines and torpedoes saved the naval battle.

Mr. Wardrick nodded, "I have a suggestion. Hold a press conference immediately to show the world the data of our submarines, as well as the data of torpedoes..."

"Impossible!", the Minister of Defense almost blurted out rejecting Mr. Wardrick's proposal, "These are all military secrets!"

Mr. Wardrick shook his head, "Not anymore, people will soon get the specific data of these things in various ways, instead of letting them send countless spies, make some of us... drill holes , In the end, these data still have to be discarded, so why don’t we edit them a little and announce them to the entire international community.”

"Now is the best time to show our strength. By publishing these data, we can tell anyone in the world that we can use the smallest cost in exchange for the highest return."

"Whether it's Gafla, or those who are ready to move, as long as they dare to come, we can let them sink into the bottom of the sea!"

After hearing this, Mr. President felt that it made sense. Although Mr. Wardrick didn't say it explicitly, everyone knew that what he omitted was the Congressional Armed Services Committee.

There is a Federal Military Committee in the Senate, of which 24 senators serve as permanent members. They have the power to access all documents and materials related to the military in the Federation.

Each of these people has various secret foundations in their hands, and every year the military industrial group will frantically stuff money into them.

These people can eat the money of the military industrial group with peace of mind, so it is naturally possible to eat the money of other people, and check the parameters of some equipment on the grounds of reviewing specific data. This is actually a very normal operation.

The competition among many military industrial groups is like this. Before the new bidding starts, they are well aware of the parameters of the new equipment that each opponent will launch.

Mr. President looked at Mr. Truman, who nodded slightly, "I think it's okay, Mr. Wardrick's proposal is very constructive, which made me think of some other things, but generally speaking, I think it's okay. "

Mr. President took the first board of the night, "Then you arrange someone to do it immediately!"

Mr. Truman walked to the side of the Minister of Defense, took him to a corner, and whispered for a while.

In fact, there is nothing too special. It is to increase the data released by the Minister of Defense after dawn by about 15.00% to 20.00%, and at the same time let him get some low-cost and high-return combat equipment as soon as possible.

For example, only one torpedo tube is loaded, and only one person can operate a speedboat.

With less than 10 yuan in exchange for the battle damage of even a destroyer, the Federation has also made a lot of money.

It's outrageous, it's mean, but it's also effective.

As long as someone dares to approach the federal sea, they can easily launch thousands of torpedo boats into the water.

While arranging how the Secretary of Defense would professionally deceive the media and the international community, Mr. Truman saw Lynch sitting in the corner, who was not paying attention.

He immediately ended his conversation with the Minister of Defense, walked to the President and whispered for a moment, and the President glanced back at Mr. Truman before turning his gaze to Lynch.

Most people's eyes also followed Mr. President's eyes and looked at Lynch.

"Mr. Lynch, each of us has expressed some of our own opinions and provided some suggestions within our ability. Can you also provide us with some ideas with reference value?"

Since this evening, Lynch has not spoken. Mr. Truman feels that Lynch has nothing to say, but he is unwilling to say it now.

Anyone who knows Lynch well knows that his thoughts are very avant-garde and sometimes go against the mainstream of society. At this time, his thoughts must be different from those of these people in the room, and even the direction is different or even opposite, so He just said nothing.

Otherwise, he would have stood up long ago and turned this place into his stage.

This is why Mr. Truman did not invite Lynch to express his views. His status and weight are not enough. Everyone here sells his face, but Mr. President has this face.

Lynch's eyes stayed on Mr. President's face for three to five seconds, and then shifted to Mr. Truman's face. He didn't speak immediately, he was still hesitating.

At this time, Mr. Wardrick also stood up, "Mr. Lynch, now is the time for us to unite. If you have any good ideas, please speak up."

Mr. President and Mr. Wardrick, the weight of the two is enough, Lynch nodded slightly, "Actually, you are all mistaken, it is not the Royal Gefra Navy that is fighting us, but the Pretton Pirates... "

"Impossible!" The Foreign Minister immediately gave a negative answer, "We all know that it is the Royal Gefra Fleet!"

Lynch looked at him like he was looking at a fool, and of course he couldn't be blamed for that, it was the previous president.

Isolationism is so terrible that diplomacy is almost deserted. This desertion does not mean that the diplomats of the Federation do not work, nor does it mean that the Federation really does not have any international diplomatic activities.

Rather, it is said that the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs is backward or even backward in the way of handling international diplomatic affairs. Their thinking on diplomacy is still a few years ago or even more than ten years ago, and they have not figured out how to protect their interests in this world. only fists.

In the past, international diplomacy paid more attention to strategy, because at that time, although the international community had established ties with each other, it was unlikely to have close contact due to technological and other reasons.

In the case of being unable to launch a large-scale invasion, the foreign policies of various countries were relatively rational and resorted to means until the outbreak of the world war.

Political diplomacy is no longer the mainstream, power diplomacy is the current trend, and whoever has the ability will speak louder.

Now that the Gefra people have lost, then what the Federation says must be what it is.

But you can’t do this at work, you need to pay attention to methods, Lynch nodded and agreed, "What you said is not unreasonable, so I think the most important thing you should do now is to contact the diplomatic ambassador of Gafla and condemn their royal family. The fleet is colluding with the pirate group, and then see how they answer!"

The first half of Lynch's sentence was a little disappointing, but the second half of it immediately made people feel amazing.

How will they answer? They will definitely not admit this. Once they admit that Gefra’s Royal Navy and the Preton pirate group are a group, will Preton’s control of the economy of the United Kingdom of Nagalil be affected? Did you do this at the request of Gefla?

Once the seeds of doubt are sown, they can never be cleared away. Gefla is not likable, which will make Gefla discredited in the international community, and at the same time, people will be wary and isolated!
"We can first isolate Gafla in terms of diplomacy, spend some money, promise some benefits, let some people who have been condemned by conscience stand up, such as the leaders of the rebels, let them stand up and tell the entire international community that they have also been punished. It was done at the behest of the Gefla people."

"Secondly, I also have a question, where is our fleet now?"

Mr. Truman was used to the speed of Lynch's thoughts, and he immediately replied, "On the way back."

"I noticed just now that we didn't wipe out the first fleet of the Royal Navy of Gefra. They still have two battleships and some other warships that did not participate in this naval battle, and they were also transferred to the Ameria region."

The Minister of Defense nodded. These news were not top-secret news that was blocked. Even Emperor Gefla made this decision public to the international community.

What they have to do is to deter some people with ulterior motives in the Amélia region, and tell everyone that our fleet is coming, and those who are dishonest should be honest.

"Go after them!" Lynch's words made the atmosphere in the room freeze for a short time.

If it is said that the fleet that participated in the naval battle was completely wiped out before, and those who opened their eyes and talked nonsense did not recognize that the other party was the Gefra Navy, or more or less could say the past, and now go to hunt down the remaining warships, right... …

A bit deceitful?
"We don't need to launch a new battle, nor do we need to have close contact with them, as long as our fleet stays at a distance where we can launch an attack anytime, anywhere."

"As for the reason..." Lynch shook his head slightly, "We are hunting down the remnants of the Preton pirate group!"

The foreign minister couldn't help but said again, "The emperor of Gefla will go crazy, no one has ever insulted them like this!"

"No!" Lynch's tone was also very firm, "Because we have reasons he can't refuse!"
