Chapter 701 Biscuits
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and as time enters midsummer, the wild dogs on the street can't be seen much.

In the room, on the TV, reports from the front line of the joint military exercise are being broadcast.

Since the joint military exercise entered the preparation period, the eyes of the whole world have been attracted by this big event, and even international trade has been affected, and the transaction volume has dropped significantly.

No way, the multinational joint exercise is on the western ocean. As one of the most important shipping hubs in the world, the joint military exercise occupies several of the main waterways. During the military exercise, whether it is a cargo ship or a passenger ship, all Passage through these locations is prohibited.

The technology at this time is not enough to support the radar that can automatically distinguish between enemy and friend, not to mention this advanced radar, ordinary radar does not have it!
Once an unidentified ship enters the exercise area, it is very likely that it will be regarded as a "target ship" and encounter fire attacks.

The exercise is not about running around the sea without firing a single shot. The exercise needs to demonstrate many things, especially offensive capabilities.

A strong and effective offensive capability is the best way to resist greed, so after the request of the joint military exercise command center, all countries participating in the exercise have prepared some target ships, also called target ships, and parked them at designated locations for shooting use.

With the important shipping routes stopped, the trade volume will naturally drop. Of course, everyone's attention is not here at this time. They only pay attention to one thing, which is this exercise.

"...The fleet of the Gefla Empire has left the port. We noticed that this time, the naval fleet of the Gefla Empire also appeared as a special combat unit, the submarine. According to the official data we have obtained, Its performance is not much worse than the data provided to us by the Federation."

"In some projects, Gefra's submarine parameters even exceed the Baylor Federation's submarine parameters..."

In a way, this military exercise can be regarded as an alternative declaration of war.

Direct military conflicts are unlikely to happen in a short period of time, but His Majesty the Emperor of the Gefra Empire cannot sit back and watch the Baylor Federation win a naval battle and ride directly on the head of the empire.

Even until this moment, there is still a voice in the Gefla Empire. If it happens again, the Imperial Navy may not lose, and the Federation may not win.

The emperor of the empire knew very well that he couldn’t go down like this. The military expansion and military project leaked by the Federation this time gave him some inspiration. Under the joint thinking of him and his ministers, he planned to tell everyone in the same way that the Gefra Empire I haven't lost yet, and I won't admit defeat!

Military exercises, a large number of military orders and project approvals, and the research and development of new weapons, of course, the parameters may be slightly exaggerated. After all, they are design parameters and do not necessarily represent actual parameters.

All of this is showing an attitude to the international community - we will not admit defeat, and are actively catching up with the Baylor Federation!

This attitude is important, and it can make some of the Gafla Empire hardcore feel some encouragement, which is even more of an inspiration.

As a result, various countries have announced their own military plans and projects. Some commentators once said that people have moved war from reality to press conferences.

Through the content announced at press conferences, they competed with "numbers" in military-related fields, and looked at some exaggerated to fake weapon and equipment parameters. All this is like a competition, only for their own parameters amazing.

And this competition, the digital economy, has also been given a word by some commentators, "arms race".

Now this exercise is just to verify some of the projects that have been realized in this digital race, just like some athletes claim to be able to run 20 meters in a second.

Whether you can really run to this number, you have to run on a fair runway to show everyone.

Countless people are paying attention to this joint military exercise, and Lynch is also paying attention. The target he pays attention to is obviously different from others. He pays attention to those submarines that cannot be checked and balanced.

Until this moment, no country has a good way to deal with submarines. Submarines have become the big killers of countries at this stage.

The less restrictions people have on submarines, the more attention will be paid to his aircraft company.

According to his knowledge, during this period of time, some military enterprises and private enterprises have received assistance from the military in anti-submarine projects.

"Unorganized, extremely chaotic!" Governor Seder commented on the exaggerated numbers on the TV screen, which were the performance parameters announced by a small country at this time.

In general, all ship parameters are exaggerated to the point that laymen know they are fake. Governor Seder then turned off the TV and turned to Lynch who watched TV with him for a while, "Some people always want to use Exaggerated ways to get people's attention, but it's obviously pointless."

"Military projects are not about selecting actresses, they need some exaggerated numbers. This is irresponsible to myself, and irresponsible to my allies!"

He used a wonderful metaphor and a joke that wasn't very funny, but he described it vividly.

"Then Mr. Lynch, what are you doing here today?" He looked at Lynch, who was a little puzzled by Lynch's sudden visit.

Lynch is often unpredictable, just like the company called "Workers' Union", so he didn't bother to guess and asked directly.

Sometimes it's easier that way.

Lynch did not answer immediately, but took out a small biscuit from his pocket, and asked the housekeeper for a plate.

Then he put these small biscuits on the dinner plate and arranged them neatly.

"Biscuits?" His Excellency the Governor asked a little surprised, "Did you make this yourself?"

He picked up a piece casually, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it. It had a relatively strong fragrance and some spices. It didn't smell bad, and it looked good, with a little bit of broken nuts visible on it.

He took a small bite, and he never worried that Lynch would poison these biscuits, because he knew very well that Lynch must understand that if something went wrong after he ate this biscuit, Lynch could not or Get out of this room.

As for chronic poisoning?
He'll let Lynch taste some later!
He casually broke the biscuit in his hand in half, then handed the other half to Lynch, "Do you mind?"

Lynch took the biscuit and shook his head, "I don't mind...", he said and took a bite.

"Very crispy, at least crispier than I imagined, and the taste is not bad, the texture is a bit strange..." Governor Seder evaluated this biscuit seriously.

In Gafla, making snacks and sharing them with each other is an important part of social culture. Every year during the Chinese New Year, the queen will present some small cakes and biscuits to the noble women to show their closeness.

The Commonwealth actually has a similar habit. For example, if a newly moved family wants to quickly open up interpersonal relationships in the community, the easiest way is to share cakes and fruit pies. The sweeter and more sour the better!
Governor Seder just took it as a kind of sharing. He ate a small piece and put it on the plate, "You did a good job, but from the perspective of use...", he shook his head, "It is far from success. There is still a long way to go before being delicious.”

Lynch also put his half biscuit on the plate. He took a towel from the butler and wiped his hands, "Your Excellency, the biscuit you are eating is my latest product, I It is intended to replace the relief food currently being distributed in Ameria."

The butler was stunned, and Governor Seder himself was also stunned. The biscuits that Governor Emotional just ate were actually for the untouchables?

Fortunately, the governor is quite self-cultivated and tolerant. He was a little angry, but he didn't show it.

Lynch didn't care so much, and asked directly, "How do you think it tastes?"

Considering that Lynch also ate it, His Excellency the Governor frowned and thought for a while, "I think it's very ordinary, nothing special, and apart from its very fragrant taste, there are almost no advantages."

Lynch nodded noncommittally, and asked again, "It's very presumptuous to ask, have you ever eaten the relief food distributed on the street outside?"

Your Excellency the governor shook his head, "I haven't eaten."

Lynch said, "I've eaten it, it's like shit, it doesn't taste good, and I can't get enough."

"I'm going to talk to you about this business. I'll take over at least the food relief work in Zhulis City, which means that the streets will stop handing out those shitty things and switch to handing out biscuits."

"Its 'parameters' are very beautiful. It can meet the nutrition necessary for people to survive, and at the same time, it can also satiate the stomach. It also performs very well in terms of resistance to hunger."

"Adults only need three or five yuan to last until the next meal, and children may only need one or two yuan..."

Governor Seder remained calm. He looked at the biscuits and asked, "What good does this do for me, for the city and for the entire region?"

The subtext of this sentence is "give you a chance to convince me", which is a rational performance.

Lynch was back to doing what he does best, persuading people.

"First of all, it can save a lot of money. I'm not sure how much it will cost to distribute relief food in the entire Ameria region, but I can save you at least 5.00% of the cost."

"5.00% a day, 150% a month, you may think I'm not good at math, but we can calculate this number in another way."

"If you spend 100 million yuan in this area every day, then you give me this job, and you can have at least 150 million yuan left over every month."

"Secondly, Zhulis needs to resume production. It is not good to keep people hungry. Only when they are full will they have the energy to work, live and study."

"Now is not the time before, and distributing some solid food will also help ease the antagonistic emotions between each other..."

Lynch said a lot, all proceeding from reality.

Governor Seder also listened seriously, and he gave his own answer, "Let me think about it..."

At this moment, Lynch knew it was over.
