Chapter 678 The Last Link

Except for the lack of freedom, life is actually pretty good now.

Preton lay on the bed with his legs crossed, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, feeling a little emotional.

The peaceful life is indeed exhausting, unknowingly he has begun to get used to the life here, although it is boring and boring, but he also has a sense of security that he has never had before.

At first he hated the soldiers outside. He felt that these people were obstacles to his freedom, but now he hopes that there will be more of them, so that he will not have to worry about someone putting a gun on his chest when he sleeps. On the back of the head.

Just as he was watching the Federation TV program and giggling, the door opened.

"You should learn to knock on the door!" Preton, who was wearing a nightgown and only shorts, did not have the consciousness of a "prisoner" at all. He seemed to be on vacation.

When he turned his head, he realized that the person who came was not from the security committee, but Truman.

He turned off the TV casually, turned around and looked at Mr. Truman who was walking over, "What else do I need to cooperate with?"

Mr. Truman was a little surprised, "It seems that you are adapting to life here."

"Who can't get used to it?" Preton spread his hands and looked around, "It would be even better if you allow me to find some girls, you know, I've been doing it all by hand during this time..."

Considering that the news of Preton's arrest has not been disclosed, it is difficult to satisfy his desire to solve his physical problems.

For the Federation, letting him contact outsiders rashly would inevitably reveal his traces, so besides not being able to communicate with the outside world, he can't meet outsiders, and it's even less likely that he will be recruited.

"It is illegal to apply for a job in the federal government...", Mr. Truman reminded, "The price of breaking the law is very heavy, I must remind you."

Preton sneered. He has been to Federation more than once, and he has the business cards of some modeling agencies listed on Bu Pain. The Federation people are hypocrites. They obviously have everything, but they insist on denying it.

He shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Are you breaking the law? Forget it, I am a law-abiding person, and I never do illegal things..." He paused, "Is there anything you need me to do this time? ?”

"You need to reveal some news..."

Less than an hour later, Mr. Truman left the place where Preton was imprisoned, and along the way he asked the security committee to send in some new adult movies to provide some life material for the "pirate chief".

Meanwhile, in Gefla, several ministers suddenly demanded to see the emperor.

The emperor who didn't have a headache during this time had a rare smile on his face. In the side hall, he received these ministers with a smile.

"It seems that you are very anxious, did something bad happen again?" He made a gesture with his hand, and the head of the royal family immediately arranged for someone to serve cups of afternoon tea and pastries to the emperor and ministers.

The relationship between the nobles and the royal family is not completely opposite, it has different manifestations in different periods, and it is quite complicated.

Ministers look at me, I look at you, and finally the Minister of Defense speaks first, "Your Majesty, I just got the news that the Federal President has approved the establishment of more than [-] military projects, including the expansion of the navy and the increase of various warships... ..."

Originally, there were some smiles on the emperor's face, but at this moment, all of a sudden, the good mood is gone!

"Army expansion?" He asked again, "You mean the Federation is going to expand its army?"

The Minister of Defense looked helpless, "From what I know, this is indeed the case."

"Hiss..." His Majesty the Emperor straightened his upper body, took a deep breath, and held his forehead.

His head started hurting again, and he hated the feeling.

"Are they... do they want to start a war and expand the army at this time?" His Majesty's expression became serious.

The Federation has been disarming for a long time, and there are no new military plans, so even though the Gefra people lost the key naval battle, they are not too nervous, and the whole world is not too nervous.

A country that is still disarming to show that it is harmless, even if it has a strong military force, this military force is only to protect their own legitimate rights and interests. Their small army is not enough to invade anyone, and everyone lives in peace.

But at this moment, the Federation suddenly began to expand its army. It is said that there are still many armament plans, and Emperor Gefla's brain will explode in an instant.

He thinks, is that Mr. President thinking that he has the chance to win the general election, so he plans to be an aggressor?

It's not impossible. The weird society of the Federation, who knows what kind of distorted political and military ideas will be bred!

"Let's talk about everything else in one breath!" Feeling that there would be no worse things, the emperor asked them to share all the unhappiness of today.

Sure enough, very unpleasant.

"Before the cargo ship of the Federation was hijacked and sunk, some people in their country thought it might have something to do with us..." The Secretary of the Navy gave his own message, "This is just a guess, but...we must show ourselves position."

"In addition, I obtained some information from the Federation through some methods. In terms of ship selection, the parameters of the new fleet they plan to build completely exceed all our active warships of the same type."

"They intend to use performance and technology to bridge the gap with us, you must pay attention!"

"Once the Federation's warships surpass us too much in terms of performance parameters, the experience of our sailors will be of little value. At that time, even if there are no submarines to participate in the battle, it may be difficult for us to win the frontal battlefield."

In a low voice, he said a truth that Gefra people have known for a long time, "After all, for every kilometer the shell flies, the danger is one kilometer away from us!"

This sentence was said by the Secretary of the Navy when Gefra entered the age of great navigation. It roughly means "as long as we shoot farther than others, we can destroy the enemy's warship first and reduce our losses."

This idea has always guided the development of Gefla's navy, and even today, it is still the core idea of ​​Gefla's navy.

Looking at the emperor who was still hesitant, the Minister of the Navy said directly, "Your Majesty, we also want to launch a new shipbuilding plan, at least not too far behind in terms of parameters and performance!"

The Minister of Defense also had the same opinion, "In addition to new warships, Your Majesty, we also need to accelerate the research plan for new types of gunpowder and artillery. Once the Federation intends to challenge the world in the future, we may be the last stronghold."

"At the same time, considering the special nature of the Ameria region, we should deploy a large number of shore artillery in the local port to prevent the federal people from suddenly launching a war."

His Majesty the Emperor patted himself on the forehead, "You keep talking about wars, wars, will wars really happen?"

After the ministers were silent for a moment, the Prime Minister asked a question, "Your Majesty, if the whole world is no longer our opponent and we have the strength and capability to occupy the whole world, how would you choose?"

His Majesty the Emperor did not continue to speak.

Ambition is directly proportional to ability. The ambition of an assembly line worker is probably to be a line leader or workshop supervisor.

Or a little bigger, but this scope is limited to the inside of the factory, because his ability and the limit of his ability are only like this. Going higher is not ambition, but delusion.

For the top executives of a company, the ambition of these people may be to obtain more equity, firmly control the company, let it go public, and then open a branch company or start their own business to achieve wealth freedom.

Ability and ambition have become a direct ratio. The reason why Emperor Gefla can develop quietly now is because they can't find a way to contain the Federation submarine in naval warfare.

But if, if Gefla won the naval battle, I am afraid that Gefla's warships are now running all over the world to "maintain world peace."

So whether you can brew an amazing ambition depends on your ability.

Emperor Gefla knew very well that once the federation believed that they were invincible, they would start trying to contact the surrounding countries through various methods, and then find ways to obtain more territory, profits, and population...

"We can't let the uncontrolled expansion of the Federation go on, we should do something." The emperor came back to his senses and gave his own opinion, "At least we can't let you and them expand so smoothly." He slightly revised for a moment.

At this time, the Prime Minister stood up on his own initiative, "Your Majesty, we should announce our plan to the international community, and at the same time propose that the allies conduct military exercises."

"I believe that when our friends discover the aggressiveness of the Federation, they will be more than happy to join us in defending our own power!"

On the same day, Gefla held a press conference to announce the military plan for the next four years to the international community, causing a global uproar.

What is even more incomprehensible is that on the second day, the Federation's military expansion and armament replacement plan was inexplicably exposed. At the same time, Gefra and the Alliance of Victorious Nations announced that they would launch military operations in the Western Ocean in the next period of time. exercise.

In the words of the Gefra people, it is to not forget the cruelty of war in times of peace, and to use exercises to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army.

There are good reasons, and even the Federation is on the invitation list, and the international situation has plunged into a fog in a short period of time.

"So...the military has no time to agree to the request of the Meghan Foundation and escort their cargo ship." Lynch, who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, looked at Mr. Wardrick with a relaxed expression, "The last stone , moved away."

When Walderick first looked at Lynch, his eyes were a little erratic, and his expression was a little dazed. Before he knew it, Lynch had grown to a level that he couldn't even imagine.

This is no longer what the word "trick" can describe. If Mr. Truman knows his ideas, he will definitely become a confidant.

In Mr. Truman's view, it is a pity that this ability to change the international environment through small things does not need to be used politically.

After a while, Mr. Wardrick came back to his senses. He looked at Lynch and praised, "You are really a fucking talent!"

Lynch nodded slightly, "Thank you for your compliment!"
