Chapter 646 Counterattack
"You're worried!"

After the two of them stared at each other for half a minute, Governor Seder's words directly reached the president's heart.

Just as he was about to say something, Governor Seder shook his hand, "Don't deny it, I can understand your worries, and my pressure is no less than yours. Not long ago, His Majesty talked to me, but I convinced him."

"I know what you're afraid of. Now I've put the pressure on you. You have to win, and you have to win beautifully. Only in this way can we keep our interests in this region and..." He smiled lightly, " ...keep yourselves safe."

If someone was going to be dumped, it was obvious that the president of the Chamber of Commerce was a good candidate.

He has a certain reputation and a certain status. Abandoning him can satisfy some people's needs for the development of the situation, and at the same time, it will not interfere with the actual operation of local power, and it will not embarrass anyone, such as the governor.

That's why he ran away in a hurry to find out, some things changed too fast these days, and he was afraid that he would become the one who was abandoned.

It took several generations of hard work to have the wealth and power he has today, and he was really reluctant to part with those things.

At this time, he was relieved to hear the governor comforting him so much, and hid his true thoughts, "I haven't thought about that, it's our honor to serve you and the empire!"

Governor Seder pointed at him and exposed his insincere words without hesitation, "Hypocrisy!"

The president of the chamber of commerce who was exposed didn't dare to get annoyed at all. He smiled panderingly, "Yes, I was a little hypocritical, but I feel at ease now. Your support for us is the best news this year."

This is the beauty of power. The president of the Chamber of Commerce, who is considered unattainable by others, has to maintain his own caution in front of power at this moment, for fear of doing something wrong and causing the governor's displeasure. .

Is it because of love that people in their teens still put down their bodies to cater to them?
Is it because of responsibility?

Do not!
It is because of power.

The smile on the governor's face gradually subsided, "I have already arranged corresponding countermeasures, and you also have a task, which is to win."

"We must win openly, win all the projects, and let the whole world know that even if something happened between us, we still choose not to back down when facing the Federation!"

The loss of the naval battle hit the Gefra people hard, and it also caused some unexpected problems at home.

When a proud or even arrogant group encounters a devastating blow, the crowd's emotional changes will often show two extremes.

The first one is that they will not admit failure, but will look for various reasons for failure, and then firmly believe that the so-called failure is nothing more than a coincidence that is not enough as a valid judgment result.

The second type is that failure will suddenly crush their arrogance and make them question or even deny themselves. These people will be immersed in a pessimistic mood and it is difficult to get rid of it.

This kind of polarization is also present in Gefra's society, and the number of the second type of people is constantly increasing.

These people hope that the empire will not be tough in the face of federal issues. This kind of thinking is understandable. After all, Gefra is only a "small country" and does not have enough strategic depth. In terms of military superiority, this means that the flames of war will burn to the mainland of Gefra.

This is absolutely devastating for an island country. Pessimism, lack of self-confidence, and even fear of war began to breed.

If at this time in the Amélia region, those in power choose to give in to the approach of the federal people, it may deepen the fear of the people in the country.

When escapism prevailed before the Federation, everyone saw that the people opposed the war because they feared it. This kind of thing is likely to happen to Gefra, so it is very important to improve national confidence.

As an important minister of the empire and at the same time the governor of Ameria, Governor Seder knew very well what he did was right.

He can relax a little bit with the federation later, but at the beginning, he must let them realize that this is not a federation where capital trumps power, and if they want to do anything here, they must follow the rules of the Gefra people. It is not the federal capital that goes first.

"Do it boldly, I will support you, His Majesty will support you, and all the people will support you..."

The chairman of the chamber of commerce, who regained his confidence, quickly got up and left. He got the attitude from above, and he knew what to do.

The weather at the end of April was already a bit hot, and Lynch, who had returned to the temporary stronghold, was discussing some ideas for the next step with seven or eight federal businessmen who had already arrived.

In order to provide a comfortable environment for everyone, several electric fans are arranged in the room.

The blades of the electric fans kept turning to bring cool wind, but suddenly, the speed of all the fans began to decrease, so that they stopped completely after more than a minute.

"What's the matter?", frowning, "Go and see what happened."

He turned his head and looked at the businessmen in front of him, and explained with a smile, "It may be a problem with the wiring. This place is too backward compared to the Federation. I don't know that the technology of the Gefra people can only do So far, they still haven’t repaired the line here.”

Everyone agrees with this, but not long after, the staff brought an unexpected message, "Mr. Lynch, there is nothing wrong with the line. The problem is that there is a power outage here."

"power failure?"

"Didn't it mean that there will be continuous power supply in the Empire District?"

The area of ​​the Empire District is not large, and more than 90.00% of the local Gefra people live here. What Lynch learned before is that the 24-hour continuous power supply is maintained here, and there will be no problems.

The staff's lips trembled, and then told the truth under Lynch's comfort.

"Only our area has a power outage, and other places are fine."

"How big is our area?" Lynch's eyes flashed, and he roughly understood the situation.

"Five houses..."

Hearing this, Lynch couldn't help laughing. He turned to look at the businessmen from the Federation with serious or worried faces, and said with a smile, "It seems that they are very afraid of us!"

"This reminds me of a book I read before. In the book, there is such a couple who dislike the protagonist and are afraid of the protagonist, but the protagonist lives in their home."

"In order to ensure that their own interests are not violated, they tried every means to drive the protagonist out, but they couldn't do it too obviously, because they were afraid."

"They throw rats in the soup pot, mud in the bathtub, all to drive these people away."

"The power is cut off now, so should the water be cut off next?"

"The more they do, the more it shows that they are afraid of our arrival. Gentlemen, this is not a terrible thing. They understand that they cannot defeat us on the frontal battlefield, so they can only disgust us through these low-handed means. "

"The more they do, the more fearful they are..."

A very special point of view, and it is very suitable for the current situation. People's emotions began to stabilize. At this time, another staff member came in and said softly, "Mr. Lynch, our water is also cut off... "

The gentlemen in the room looked at each other, not only did not feel any indignation because of it, but laughed, it seemed that they were no longer angry or disturbed by it.

After letting the staff leave, Lynch breathed a sigh of relief slowly, "I know, some people think I'm too sensitive and nervous, magnifying a very small thing to a large extent, they think it's just a power plant project , there is no need to tear yourself apart with the chamber of commerce here."

"Since they want it, let them..."

During this period of time, the problems Lynch encountered in Zhulis have been spread among overseas federal businessmen. People know that the attitude of the people here is very unfriendly to Lynch, even barbaric and rude, and they also know that Lynch is also very tough. Deal with it and go back.

Many people don't understand what he did, and now he needs to explain it, at least let the federal people who came here understand why he did it.

"...It's a silly idea, gentlemen, to the people here we are actually robbers, and although we are in business, our behavior is no different from robbery."

"We broke into their homes with guns in our hands and grabbed their bags full of money in their hands and now they're all of a sudden saying 'hey put your money bag down'."

"The conflict between us is irreconcilable. If we put down our money bags, they will ask us to put down the weapons in our hands, then ask us to get out of their house, and finally ask us to close the door!"

"So from the very beginning, from the very beginning, we can't give them any assumptions, let them understand our mutual position!"

"Predators will not negotiate peace with the plundered, and there will be no concessions. We must let them understand that our determination to pursue interests will not be shaken!"

Lynch used a very simple method to establish a distinctive image to tell these people the relationship between them and the Gefra businessman and the local dignitaries when they were doing business in Ameria.

If some people still imagine that they can cooperate and solve these problems properly, it can only be said that these people are too naive and not suitable for business.

At this time, a federal businessman asked a question cautiously, "Mr. Lynch, we just sit back and watch them do this, and don't fight back?"

"Also, is it necessary for us, for the Federation?"

Perhaps this is also the thinking of many people. Is it necessary to go to the chassis of the Gefra people to compete with the Gefra people for business and territory? If this is not necessary, it is completely unnecessary to do so.

Looking at these people in front of him, Lynch didn't tell them too much truth, only one sentence.

"There will be no pies in the sky, what you want, you have to fight and grab it!"
