1537 Can’t Reach an Agreement

At this time, His Excellency the Prime Minister, who was standing behind the door, looked at the closed door and sighed deeply.

In addition to normal diplomacy, this time I came to visit the Federation, and more importantly, I wanted to see the Federation.

In the world, people often compare Gaevra and the Federation together.

Why do people always like to compare the two?

In fact, it is very simple, because the first batch of immigrants in the Federation came from Gefra!

Not to mention far away, ten years ago, Gaevra was the overlord of the ocean. Any country with a coastline was powerless in the face of Gaevra's giant cannon.

At that time, it could be said that Gaevra was the core of the entire world, and even an army as powerful as Pengeo had become part of its growing reputation.

However, ten years later, Gefra's national power and military potential continued to decline, while the Federation, which had never had any sense of existence, rose rapidly.

It only took the Federation and its people ten years to accomplish everything that it took Gefra decades or hundreds of years to achieve, and they have firmly established a foothold.

People call the present era the Byler Federation era, and the whole world seems to be revolving around this country that had no sense of existence in the past.

Naturally, there is a sharp contrast between a country that was once prosperous and then declining, and a country that was once dormant but is now becoming more powerful!

And they have deep origins at least going back further.

People say this, and the nobles of Gefra cannot accept it, and neither can the Prime Minister himself.

He didn't believe that the Federation had really left Gevra that far away. A few years ago, Aga seemed to be on the same level. There was no reason that they could become so powerful in just a few years.

But after arriving in the Federation, he discovered that people's evaluations of the trends in the two countries were still too conservative!

He couldn't use words to describe the weakness and paleness in his heart at this time!

Walking on the streets of Gefra, you can see tired people and confusion about the future on their faces. The gentlemen will have a straight face, while the ladies will not smile.

They will not stop or have a cordial conversation with passers-by. The future is like a thickening dark cloud in the sky, making people breathless.

Looking back at the Federation, even though the shadow of war is approaching, people don't seem to be at a loss for the future.

Although the workers are tired, they are always having lively discussions and actively integrating into their lives.

Occasionally some people on the roadside frown, but most of them still have a kind of calmness unconsciously.

A kind of peace that comes from safety and confidence.

They are not panicked or confused. It seems that the fog of the unknown does not block their vision of the future!

This is the gap!

The federal people believe that their government can lead them to create glory, but the people of Gefra may be worried

They are worried about war, the domestic political environment, and the weather...

In this case, take the lead in launching a war?

The Prime Minister walked to the window and slumped down on the chair, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away.

He picked up his pipe, stuffed some tobacco into it, and lit it with a match.

A puff of thick smoke was filled into the lungs as if it were actually rolling, and was spit out again after a moment.

He turned his head and looked down at the bustling Bupen through the clean window...

If Gaevra were to take the lead in starting a war, he would be the first to be overthrown!

This is no joke!

The naval battle with the Federation severely dampened the Gaevra people's confidence on the sea, and Amelia's ever-unquiet regional resistance made the Army lose face.

To launch a war when neither has the advantage, those who are responsible for the output of the war will veto these decisions!

The nobles who had just been suppressed by the Privy Council, the royal members of the royal family who were watching him looking for flaws and waiting for opportunities...

Even the president of Amelia and the new generation of nobles will not support the prime minister's actions, including the great nobles and ministers!

In fact, his visit to the Federation this time also had another purpose, which was to hope that the Federation could shoulder its responsibilities in world society.

Let the federals be the main force against Penteo, while Gaevra and other countries will go through the motions by firing off artillery outside the core battlefield.

In this way, Gaevra's national power and war potential will not be consumed. While they retain their strength, the Federation and Pengeo's national power will all decline due to the war.

In this way, everyone can get back to the same starting line, and they will have the opportunity to compete again in a competition that is not really fair!

This is also the idea of ​​​​the great aristocracy in Gefra's country, inciting the federal people to be cannon fodder and the main force.

But now, the federal people seem to have the same idea as them.

The Prime Minister's eyes were a little distracted. He was a little confused. Since when did this country become different?

He won't have any answers, and no one will have any answers. Sometimes some inconspicuous little things, with the blessing of a series of consequences and feedback, become a storm with huge impact!

The next day, during a new day of talks, His Excellency the Prime Minister talked about the issue of the Amelia region.

"If Pengeo really uses Amelia as a breaking point in the war, we hope that the federation can provide us with certain military assistance."

"Although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit it. In terms of the army, there is still a certain gap between us and Pengeo's army."

The accompanying ministers and nobles nodded. The Prime Minister's statement seemed a bit embarrassing, admitting his own inferiority, but in fact it also preserved everyone's strength.

As for whether the federal people would suffer losses, they didn't really care.

If it were the previous president, he would definitely be moved and think about it. He would tell others something like, "The rulers of Gefra asked me to send troops to protect them."

He is a seemingly simple and somewhat vain person. He likes things that can make him more decent and crazy. Maybe it is him, and he will agree.

But the current federal president is Mr. Trueman, a hard-line president who has been influenced by Lynch and has turned towards pragmatism.

He frowned and said, "We are not yet sure where Pengeo will break through. The Amelia region is just a guess on our part."

"You can place some fortifications and weapons there now. If a war really breaks out from there as we are considering, you will not be without any preparations."

He didn't say a word about military aid.

But in fact, he has already said that if the Prime Minister is not a fool at this time, he should know that this answer is not suitable for the question and is actually rejecting his proposal.

But he also had his own ideas, "We are no match for the Pengeo people, we need your help."

In the past few days, a piece of information about Pengeo has come out from the local area. It is said that there are currently three million Pengeo people who are ready for war, and there are still two million reserves who can fight anytime and anywhere. Called to join the war.

This number has exceeded the current total of active military personnel from the Federation and Gefra!

The army of Pengeo's country alone exceeds the total number of soldiers of the two core rival countries!

If you add some of its subordinate countries and allies, they may be able to gather about 12 million to 15 million soldiers!

To be honest, if these people kill four people each, they can destroy the Federation!

Fortunately, this is the era of hot weapons, and the number of participants is no longer one of the decisive factors that ultimately determines the outcome.

But with so many people, in an area like Amelia, which is surrounded by wilderness and hills outside the city, they can completely dominate the battlefield!

No matter how many people were sent in, it would not be enough for them to consume, and Mr. Trueman was unwilling to agree easily.

I can't agree to this either.

The Prime Minister picked up the teacup and exchanged some glances with his entourage, and then said, "If the Amelia region is lost, it will be a heavy blow to Gaevra."

"I don't want to admit this. Our main income over the years has been spent in the Amelia region."

"Once the Amelia region falls, we may completely lose the power to continue the war!"

If the request doesn't work, then just lie down and act rogue.

Sometimes this method does work. This kind of rhetoric, which is obviously threatening, makes people on the federal side have to seriously consider the requirements of the Gefra people.

If Gaevra really withdraws from the war, then it can be said that half the world is staring at the Federation!

Like the other countries in the World Development Council...

To put it bluntly, if each of their countries can gather two to three hundred thousand soldiers to serve as cannon fodder, they are already doing their best.

In areas like Sedoras, their population is only over 10 million, and the number of people suitable for military service may only be a few hundred thousand in the entire country.

You can't ask all of them to send troops, it's unrealistic.

Moreover, everyone is always skeptical about the combat capabilities of the armies of these countries.

In the end, the main forces fighting against the Pengeo Empire were the Federation and the Gaevra people.

The Gefra people quit again...

Mr. Trueman frowned. He was very young and did not react as slowly as some old people. This was his advantage.

He quickly reacted, "Then you can do what we thought before, so the initiative is in our hands."

"Even if we cannot defeat them at once, we can still set the tone for victory in this war."

Since you are afraid that they will fight Amelia directly, why not fight Pengeo first as we said before?

The Prime Minister was stunned for a moment, then closed his mouth.

If it was really possible, would he not do it?

He hesitated, remained silent, and finally decided to ignore the topic for the time being.

"I will discuss it with them seriously and give you an accurate result."

"Let's skip this part first and talk about technology sharing..."
