Chapter 726 James Lynch Bond

"I'll have a drink too..."

Mr. Truman walked into his office with Lynch after an "extra" drink. The State Department has not yet been fully established, and it must wait for Mr. President to win the election before it can fully take effect.

There are many unwritten unspoken rules in the federal government. The reason why Mr. President is now Mr. President is not because he won the election, but because he got the vice president after the previous president stepped down.

Therefore, Mr. President does not yet have the power to change the current structure of the federal government.

It's not that he's a fake president, it's just a rule, an unspoken rule.

The top leaders of the federal government are all derived from the victory of the previous president. These people or the forces behind them made a big bet during the previous presidential election, and the previous president won the election. Their current power is They deserve it.

To put it simply, these political speculators are enjoying the dividends of speculative victory, and no one can easily interrupt their qualifications to enjoy this dividend before the end of the dividend period.

Otherwise, it is against this set of rules.

The Progressive Party can be elected today, and the Conservative Party can also be elected in the future. In order to fight each other unnecessarily, everyone is following this rule, that is, don't touch other people's cheese easily.

Even when the previous president stepped down, he kept his cheese - his son is now the Federation's star diplomat.

If there is no accident, he is likely to climb to a relatively important position in the next four to eight years, and then wait for the sky.

This is also the reason why Mr. President's idea of ​​the Department of State to gradually replace the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can be approved by Congress.

You know, the son of the former president is also in this field, which means that his son will also enjoy the benefits of the rise of the State Department.

With the support of the former president and the Conservative Party, maybe after eight years, he can climb to the position of deputy minister, and after 16 or even 24 years, he can get the position of shocking president!
Politics is dirty, because this is not a clean place, behind every inconspicuous change is the transfer and compromise of many interests.

But it is clean, it can help many people realize their ideals, and let all things be bathed in light.

The slightly cramped office does not reflect the spirit of a future power center. Mr. Truman doesn't care about it. He randomly pulls two chairs and sits with Lynch away from the window.

The presidential palace has been installed with a central temperature controller, the temperature inside the room is cooler than outside, and officials can dress formally and decently to work here.

Mr. Truman took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Lynch, "Don't ask me, just read it first."

Lynch was a little puzzled, but he followed his suggestion and flipped through it.

This is an introduction about the parameters of the new equipment of the Army and Navy. The introduction of the Navy's equipment is relatively small, mainly the new equipment of the Army, some of which have not been reported in the news.

Lynch looked at it seriously. After memorizing some important data and descriptions, he put the document on the table, "You want me to disclose this information."

Mr. Truman was a little surprised, but he didn't deny it, "The matter you mentioned to me, I discussed it with Mr. President. It would be unreasonable to award you a medal just because you invented some military equipment. .”

He went to the chair next to Lynch and sat down, offered a cigarette, and after the two of them put their heads together and lit the cigarette, Mr. Truman said while shaking the match in his hand, "If you can get Medals, then every year we have to give out dozens, hundreds or more medals."

"You have to make some more contributions."

“You have no hand in making domestic policy.”

"You have no chance to intervene in the army, and there is no war now, so you have no chance to make meritorious deeds."

"This is the case in all aspects. No matter how good you are, the public will think that you are still a little bit worse, so I thought of an idea."

He stopped suddenly as he spoke, and there was a knock on the door of the room. After he agreed, Catherine came in with a tray.

After the two thanked each other, and watched Catherine leave, Mr. Truman lowered his head and blew on the coffee, taking a sip, "Do you still remember that during the joint military exercise, the speed of the Gefra people's submarine exceeded our expectations?" something?"

Lynch nodded. This incident was deeply memorable. Many people said that the Federation lost to Gefra in the event that was the least likely to lose, which dealt a great blow to the morale of the country.

The stock of Shepp Shipping Company fell off a cliff that day. If they hadn't quickly come up with the parameters of the second-generation submarine, and the Ministry of Defense added some research funds, those shareholders and shareholders of Shepp Shipping would definitely to suffer.

It was hard to forget.

"Several of our security agencies, including the Military Intelligence Agency and the Strategic Command, sat together to study this matter. We believe that our previous unintentional plan played a key role."

"Before this, we once revealed the performance parameters of the Federation's submarine..." Lynch vaguely remembered that there was indeed such a thing, and he even participated in this plan. Mr. Truman put down his coffee cup and continued Said, "The performance parameters we disclosed at the time happened to be consistent with the current performance parameters of the Gefra submarine."

"Even more simply, we think they've taken our previous claims about performance parameters, taken our fictitious numbers as our real numbers, and invested a lot of money chasing after those parameters that were actually bogus."

"In this way, the performance of the Gefra people in the joint military exercise is also reasonable, and they must have paid a great price for this."

"We negotiated and came up with a very interesting result. Since they believe in the parameters we gave, why don't we continue to 'reveal' some parameters to them?"

A faint smile appeared on Mr. Truman's face, "You must understand what I want to say!"

Lynch nodded again, "Create fear!"

Mr. Truman was at a loss for a moment, but then his scalp tingled slightly, he reached out and nodded Lynch, "That's too accurate, more accurate than I thought, fear, this word is used very well ..."

Yes, to create fear, if the performance parameters of all the equipment of the Federation exceed the parameters of the Gefra people, what will happen?
fear!

The Gefra people will be afraid, from the emperor of the empire to a tramp, they will all have fear, because the military force they have been relying on for a long time has fallen behind the Federation in an all-round way, and it is still a punch that has already given them a punch, so that they can't bear it If there is a strong Federation, they will be afraid.

Even if some people hold terrible weapons in their hands, they will not be feared, because these people dare not start wars easily, and they don't even dare to brandish the weapons in their hands.

The stronger they are, the weaker they actually are.

But some people dare to wield weapons and start wars. If these people have advanced weapons in their hands, it will definitely be a nightmare.

Federal people are such people, they dare to do it.

So in order to reduce fear and gain more sense of security, the best way is to strengthen yourself and catch up with the federal equipment in terms of all weapon performance.

"As for why I showed you so much army equipment..."

The two looked at each other and laughed softly.

"I've heard a saying that the hearts of smart people are dirty." Lynch crossed his legs and flicked the ash.

Mr. Truman was not offended. Instead, he said, "I think you are talking about yourself. You are one of the few smartest people I have ever met!"

The two laughed again.

The reason why it is not naval equipment but army equipment is actually very simple. During the joint military exercise, the Gefra people have exposed the weakness that their army will be completely abolished without reform.

Gefra's navy is not a big problem at the moment. The deterrent effect played by the submarine has allowed their fleet to be reactivated. The only shortcoming now lies in the army.

Both the Minister of War and the Minister of Defense have also said in public that the army should be strengthened in a targeted manner, at least to make the army reach the world's second-class level.

There are many ways for a country's army to quickly improve. In addition to continuous intensive training and participation in real wars, there is a relatively simple and effective method, which is to replace army equipment.

Gefra's train gun exposed their considerations in this regard, but before everyone had time to follow suit, it exposed its design flaws.

Once there is no railroad, it is as good as waste.

But this also just shows that Gafla has been researching Army equipment, and will also increase investment in the research and development of Army equipment. If Lynch "accidentally" revealed some ambiguous and wrong data at this time, what would happen?
After discussing the research, several major departments believe that there is a high possibility that they will follow what they did before, believe in the parameters of the Federation, and then use those false parameters of the Federation as a basis to throw money into the bottomless pit.

This will make the domestic economic situation of Gefra, which is not rich, even more severe, and they will have more troubles!

As for what results did they actually research according to these parameters?

In fact, the value is also not great. The army's equipment is not as big as possible.

At certain times, such as in a defensive situation in a war, these "big data" are very valuable. Large-caliber coastal artillery can make many warships dare not take risks easily.

But if you are on the offensive side, the greater the attribute data of various equipment, the heavier the logistics burden, which means that it is difficult to advance quickly, and you can only waste the opportunity in vain.

With the addition of Gefra's useless old soldiers, they can't form any effective combat effectiveness at all-if a country's army can be strengthened through training and war, with the abundant war experience of the Gefra people, their army has already It is invincible.

But the truth is, they are really trash.

"This is your job. Find a way to reveal this information during this event. After you come back, if you have made achievements in the aircraft, we can award you a medal!"
