Chapter 669 The ship is gone

The member refused Lynch and Mr. Truman to see him off, and left here alone.

As he said at the dinner table, the current timeline is very delicate, the general election is coming, the national attention is highly concentrated, and any small matter will be magnified and become a big trouble.

This is also a good time to pull down some political opponents before the new president takes office. Any coerced public opinion will be particularly powerful during this period, and all politicians must be careful.

He will not give the green light to this project just because his son designed the design drawings of the aircraft and became Lynch's partner. He must make comprehensive considerations based on the actual situation before giving his own opinion. A fair , a neutral opinion without any color of interest.

This is his persistence and bottom line of a member of Congress, which is touching.

After watching the congressman leave, Truman and Lynch stood on the balcony of the restaurant and looked down at the whole of Bu Pain. Both of them felt a little emotional, and neither of them spoke for a while.

After several minutes, Mr. Truman sighed, "Are you really willing to do that?" He laughed, "This is 500 million!"

Lynch asked rhetorically, "Is it too late to ask me now?"

The two looked at each other and each laughed.

The company that Lynch set up with the money was not only to manage the interests of the congressmen, but also to satisfy some interests of the military's top brass.

Soldiers are people, and generals are people. They are not only soldiers, but also children of parents, husbands of wives, and fathers of children.

Everyone hopes not only for themselves, but also for their family members. Some of their family members are arranged in various military industrial enterprises or in fields related to the military.

Some people once expressed dissatisfaction with this, but the special nature of the army left these dissatisfaction with no place to vent.

If you are really dissatisfied with these things, you can sue these soldiers in a military court.

Lynch wants to satisfy all parties, so he can't be stingy with the equity in his hand, that is, money.

Taking out 500 million to give away, this kind of courage shocked Truman first, so he asked such a question.

"When we are against a certain system, everyone under this system will become our enemy. This is not a smart choice."

As Lynch spoke, he began to seriously talk about some of his own ideas. Now the core of their group is him and Mr. Truman.

There must be no misunderstanding between these two people, otherwise their small group would not be able to go far.

Mr. Truman took out a cigarette and gave one to Lynch. After the two of them put their heads together and lit the cigarette, Lynch continued, "It's like you are dealing with a corrupt official. Your The enemy can only be him, not the entire group of officials."

"If you do that, you will become everyone's enemy, just like what you encountered this time, almost all financial groups have expressed dissatisfaction with your actions, even if you can defeat one or two, there will still be others Third fourth and more."

"What we have to do is not to be an enemy of the whole system, what we have to do is to hollow it out little by little without disturbing this group!"

"In this process, we can't just be detached from the outside world, but also integrate into this group and become like them. Only in this way will they watch us dog-eat-dog instead of uniting to fight against 'external pressure'."

"The military will be our greatest support, and they do need more allies in politics!"

Whether it is the military or the politicians in Congress, they are actually deliberately avoiding each other. Collusion between politicians and the military is definitely not interesting news, but there is a need for both sides to collude with each other.

Lynch here is not the first point, not the last point, and it is not the only point. He just provides more convenience for the military and members of Congress.

Mr. Truman pressed his hands on the railing on the edge of the balcony. He bent slightly and looked down at the bustling Bupain. After a while, he asked a question, "Can we win this war?" ?"

"We must win!"

In the next few days, one young man after another in the Federation suddenly proved their outstanding abilities in some aspects, such as new engines, and breakthroughs in materials. In short, these young people began to appear in some newspapers. corners.

The federal media is sometimes very courageous, they even dare to release black material about the president.

But sometimes they are very timid, and they never dare to casually publish content related to some congressmen or the military.

Just when people were rejoicing and encouraging young scientists from the Federation to emerge in endlessly, the cargo ship loaded with the latest engines had left the port, and the first batch of twelve generator sets would cross the Upper Strait and arrive in the Ameria region.

The bidding on the Amélia side has also come to an end. Not surprisingly, the federal businessman headed by Lynch completely lost to the Gefra businessman in this bidding.

To the vast majority of people in this world, this news is nothing more than normal news. If someone wins the project bidding, someone will definitely lose. This is normal.

Only those who are really involved in these things know what these mean.

The originally active federal businessmen began to restrain themselves, and the Gefra businessmen became arrogant again, and they also planned to break Lynch's value.

They are actively contacting those countries with powerful armies, hoping to get some military assistance from these countries through politics or employment.

I have to say that the governor of Ameria has a lot of ideas. If this plan is successful, then the region and even the country can get rid of Lynch's influence. Lynch's influence on the Gefra royal family and this region is based on His men were able to quickly deal with those rebels on the basis.

Before that, even if the Gefra people suffered a lot of failures, they were unwilling to admit that their army was like a waste.

Now, they are beginning to face up to this problem, and it is much better to bring in the allied forces to solve it than to give the benefits to Lynch and those federal people.

In fact, at the end of the day, they were still incompetent and furious at Gefra's loss to the Federation in the naval battle.

Seeing that Lynch's arrogance was about to be suppressed, what the governor of Ameria Seder waited for was not the news that the generator set had docked, but the cargo ship was missing.

"What's going on?" Governor Seder couldn't believe his ears when he received the news, "It's a one-day journey, the cargo ship is slower, and it should be here in two days. Why is there no news until now?"

For two whole days, no cargo ship from the Federation docked, and the cargo ship seemed to disappear out of thin air.

The Federation was also very curious. It was reasonable that the cargo ship would reply when it arrived at the port of Ameria, but after waiting for two days, there was no news, and people became suspicious for a while.

The people under him don't know anything, and Governor Seder can only hope that his son knows something.

Then he made a call, and Sauron answered the call 2 minutes later.

"Where did the ship go?" He opened his mouth and asked without any nonsense.

"I don't know either. The investigation is underway here. It may be... related to pirates."

"Pirate?" Governor Seder suddenly laughed, but the laughter was full of anger after being fooled, "Are you a fool, or do you think I am a fool?"

"There can't be pirates on this route. Now the pirates in the whole world know to stay away from the Federation. Are you talking about pirates?"

Since the Federation defeated Gefla in the naval battle, the pirates in the entire sea area west of the Eastern Ocean have basically disappeared, and no one will risk offending the two countries of Gefla and the Federation. do something about it.

So when Governor Seder heard that it was the pirates, he immediately became furious. Is this playing him like a child?

Sauron laughed twice, "The search and rescue ship on the Federation's side has already started, and if there are no accidents, there will be news soon."

"How fast is soon?"

"……do not know."

After hanging up the phone, Governor Seder calmed down quickly. His first thought was Lynch, which made him feel tricky. He didn't know how Lynch did it, but he just had it The feeling is absolutely inseparable from Lynch.

But the problem now is not only the disappearance of the ship, but also the liquidated damages in the contract that makes him feel troublesome.

He can't afford the liquidated damages of [-] million federal sols, and this money may even affect his status.

This sounds ridiculous, but this is the truth. Money and face are all lost. The emperor must be furious. The only thing to do now is not to find those ships, but to throw the blame.

He picked up the phone again and dialed Sauron's number. As soon as the call was connected, he lowered his voice slightly, "Remember, you must advocate your position to everyone. We signed an installation contract with the Federation, and the transportation Not our responsibility and we don't admit any shipping issues..."

Sauron's reaction was quick, "You mean... the federal people might put the blame on us?"

"Use your brain to know, and even I wonder if the federal people drove away by themselves. They don't need to pay anything to get [-] million in compensation. It may not be impossible, even Lin It's possible that Qi made a trap with them."

"Don't use the thinking of the Gefra people to speculate on those federal people whose interests are paramount. They even dare to impeach the president for their own interests. Remember what I said, and in any case, don't bear the responsibilities we don't need to bear!"

"Everything has nothing to do with us, you can pay attention but you must not express your opinion..."

The disappearance of a cargo ship has aroused the attention of the two great powers in a very short period of time, and even Emperor Gafla asked about it.

If it weren't for the fear of causing misunderstanding, they would all want to send warships to the Upper Strait to find the missing freighter.

You must know that at this moment, those advanced thermal power generators have not installed destructive casings, which also means that they can disassemble all generators without damage and master the technology of the federal people!
Sitting in the study, Governor Seder frowned and looked into the distance, the sky was covered with a shadow, and it was about to rain.
