Chapter 590 Despise the enemy

"There will be a formal engagement ceremony tomorrow morning..."

In the hotel room, the mission from the Federation was discussing a ceremony to leave tomorrow.

In terms of international affairs such as diplomacy, countries are still relatively serious and formal, and Gefra also has corresponding special ceremonies. From the reception to the final farewell, the whole process has a set of procedures.

Because it is late today, everyone will check into the hotel first. Tomorrow morning, officials from the port city will come to welcome the embassy for the first time on behalf of Emperor Gafla, and then everyone will say something they like in front of the reporter, similar to "Incentives to promote the successful completion of this business negotiation" and the like.

Then they will take the train to the imperial capital of Gafla to meet the emperor.

It is worth mentioning that they will meet the emperor, but the emperor will not directly talk to them about all the content related to this cooperation. As a symbol of the highest power in a country, if you want him to come forward, at least the vice president of the federation It only needs to be sent, and it still requires a political and military diplomatic visit.

It is also a kind of respect for Emperor Gefla, after all, this is a "backward" monarchy country, and you have to abide by their backward traditions.

Whenever the people of the Commonwealth speak of the monarchy, they always have a sense of superiority from nowhere.

The itinerary was very full and tight, and the team members gathered together to make final decisions, and then followed by high-intensity work.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the room.

They lived on the top floor of the hotel, and the entire floor was reserved for the federal mission. Apart from their civilian staff, there were also some sergeants who would protect the members of the mission.

When the door is knocked, the people in the room don't think that there are irrelevant people outside the door, and irrelevant people can't come in at all, let alone knock on the door.

A person with the lowest status walked to the door, opened it, and Lynch stepped in.

"Good evening, gentlemen!", he always has a confident, sunny and clean smile on his face, as long as he is not a person with a dark mind, it is difficult to hate him.

It took more than two seconds for the people in the room to realize that it was Lynch.

They can't be blamed. They did see Lynch when they got the final list, but Lynch didn't go with them. Mr. Truman meant that they would see Lynch here.

They thought that Lynch had already gone to the imperial capital, and they would see Lynch in the imperial capital—after all, for such a serious diplomatic visit, if someone arrives first, it must be to better serve the visit, for example, to go to the imperial capital first Get some news over there.

They never expected to meet Lynch here. After such a brief accident, the group leader immediately stood up, "Mr. Lynch, I thought we would meet in the imperial capital."

The original plan for this visit was originally planned by Mr. Truman, but the president cannot do without him. The just-concluded state election did not calm people down, because the general election is coming.

This is also the time when the federal government has the most atmosphere. State elections are followed by general elections. People have not completely escaped from the "confrontation" of state elections, and will fall into a more frenzied presidential election.

Some experts believe that this is beneficial. The results of state elections can often indicate the results of the general election. The state election is essentially paving the way for the general election at the end of the year.

States already in hand can be strengthened ideologically, reducing the chance of swings.

Those states that are lost will be the main obstacles for the next two... no, the three parties to overcome. They can focus more funds and energy on these states, which makes the use of resources more efficient.

At this critical moment when the pre-election campaign has begun, Mr. Truman is currently the most important deputy of the President. It is impossible for the President to let Truman leave the Federation and leave him.

Even if this diplomatic visit fails, it doesn't matter to him, it's just a small detail in the development of a country, and the president is all he has.

After several rounds of consideration and changes, the leader of the team was replaced by the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, and this guy knew Lynch, and they knew each other during the previous negotiations on Nagalil.

Seeing Lynch here, he also had a feeling in his heart that he had somehow stabilized.

He took the initiative to step forward and shook hands with Lynch, which also made those behind him aware of some changes in the rankings of people in the room.

Under the introduction of the Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs, Lynch finally met the main members of the mission.

In addition to the undersecretary for foreign affairs, there is also the first and highest official of the Federal Office of International Trade.

The International Trade Office was originally an international trade approval office. Later, the former president stepped down and the current president took office. In order to distinguish the difference between him and his predecessor, the word "approval" was removed.

It is said that the International Trade Office will soon be expanded into a new administrative department, not just an office, but before the real expansion is implemented, the highest level of the office, the future first minister, is not too high. It was exactly the specification for this visit.

Then there is the third chief of the Office of International Affairs/Policy, also under Mr. Truman, and the second or third chief of the Ministry of Domestic Industry, Ministry of Education and Science Development and other related ministries.

Generally speaking...the specifications are not very high. In Lynch's view, this is more like a tentative visit, and there may not be many actual cooperation and negotiation projects.

This is actually quite normal. The Federation has just wiped out Gefra's Armada, and now it's time to talk about cooperation. There will definitely be some worries and speculations in the country, and Gefra is a "backward" monarchy The country, what if the emperor gets angry and cuts off their heads?
These people's thinking is still stuck in the "face problem" that intelligent creatures care about, but they have not deeply realized that in the international arena, between countries, interests are the eternal topic.

Let alone wiped out their First Fleet, even if they wiped out all their fleets, Mr. President will go to the main gate of the palace to urinate, as long as the benefits are enough, the emperor will still be able to smile.

After getting acquainted with everyone, Lynch sat next to the undersecretary of foreign affairs. He was a member of the mission and also an advisor.

"Mr. Lynch, I heard that you will arrive earlier than us." At this time, the Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs thought that Lynch had just arrived.

Lynch nodded, "I arrived two days ago."

At this time, the Under Secretary of Foreign Affairs thought, "It's hard to understand what you say, you know", but his reaction was also very fast. After all, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not the Ministry of Communications. "Mr. Lynch was familiar with this place two days earlier than us. We I just arrived, do you have any good suggestions?"

He was afraid that Lynch would not be able to understand his own thoughts, so he added a few words in good faith, "For example, is there anything we need to pay attention to, such as certain customs of Gefla?"

"The Baihua Street next door is more interesting. There are a lot of delicious wines in it, and there are some girls in need waiting for everyone to lend a helping hand." Lynch said these words in a serious manner. At first People haven't thought about that yet.

This is a very stereotyped preconceived notion. They didn't think that "Mr. Ten Billion" would say such simple and common words, until a young man couldn't help laughing.

Maybe he thought what Lynch said was funny, or maybe he thought Lynch was funny, anyway, he smiled, and then everyone's expressions became a little weird.

Just when the Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs wondered whether Lynch had taken the wrong medicine and said such frivolous words at such a solemn moment, Lynch spoke again.

"I know some of you think that I'm not prudent enough to actually go..." He curled his lips, "I just want to tell you the facts, don't think of Gefra people too much."

"Until the outcome of the naval battle is known, we may fear the invincible fleet of the Gephra and consider our position in bilateral relations."

"But, gentlemen, we are the victors of the naval battle. The Eldest Princess fleet of the Gefra people was almost wiped out, and we directly broke their courage!"

"It should be the Gefra people who gather to speculate on each other's attitudes, not us. We are the winners."

"If you are so cautious, solemn, or even timid, it will cause a lot of trouble for our subsequent negotiations."

"They will test our bottom line step by step, and they will try to make excessive demands, because you don't behave like a mission of a powerful federation, but those who were beaten by Gefra people had to come to ask It is as humble as the mission of the defeated country!"

"It will make them think that our victory in the naval battle is not reliable, and even think that if we fight again, we will lose to them, so gentlemen, we have to show a confident thing, not hide in the hotel !"

"I believe that there are countless pairs of eyes staring at us inside and outside the hotel, and they are also analyzing what attitude and method to adopt in the next contact with us, all of which are determined by what they have observed now of."

"While we show that the influence brought about by the victory in the naval battle makes us not care about the Gefra people, we will also secretly think about the next countermeasures and methods!"

The undersecretary of foreign affairs stroked his beard, "What you said sounds reasonable, what do you think?"

Ten minutes later, Lynch led some unimportant team members to Baihua Street. They waved banknotes wantonly to help girls in need and drank for fun.

The news was quickly reported to the ears of Emperor Gefla, who first roared for a while, and then all his dissatisfaction turned into a helpless "presumptuous".

If he can't beat others, he can only be so aggrieved. Now he has felt the feelings of those small countries when they face Gefra, and it is very uncomfortable.
