Twenty Seven Years Chapter 352

Chapter 352 Pluman and Bash

"It depends on their movements in the future. If there is no accident, Bash will disregard the relationship with the assassination incident, while Wellland refuses to believe Bash's side's rhetoric and formally joins Bresci on an expedition. It's just a matter of fact." Suddenly, I want to coordinate with François, and then go out to Bash, and it will take four or five days at the fastest, and it is normal to be a little slower than ten days and a half months." Verac estimated the development trend.

"Let's do the things right now first. Doing these things well is the best response to the changes." Murphy, who was listening silently, expressed his opinion.

"Murphy is right. The current assassination incident can only be said to be that the fuse of the war has been ignited. The overall situation is still elusive. Even if there is any change, I believe that the terminal will deal with it in time. We The most important thing right now is to face all kinds of shocks and complete their respective tasks quickly and safely." Keating pulled everyone's thoughts back.

They have made countless predictions about the direction of the war, and have made complete preparations based on the predictions. Now it's just that the fuse has been ignited, and the overall situation has not changed significantly, so it is definitely not as important as the research task to discuss some things over and over again.

"Hmm." Faced with these things that are changing the world to the greatest extent, Verak's emotions fluctuate along with it.

Leizein, government buildings, conference halls

The ministers and generals who got the news arrived at the conference hall as quickly as possible, so that François could hold a meeting before meeting the ambassadors of various countries to make the best preparations.

"I have notified everyone of the situation on the phone, so I won't go into details here." After the war, it was the day when he restored the monarchy and ascended the throne. Thinking that he would become the emperor of Brecy, Francois walked into the meeting The whole set of movements from the room to the main seat seemed very calm, "Gregory, prepare to send a message of condolences, Dylan, and inform Vice Admiral Ulysses stationed in Guarinedo to be in charge of the Royal Fleet, Euler The command of the Erhai Fleet is on standby at Chester Port. Joseph and Maguire are strengthening the defense work in the city of Lazein. Derrick is preparing to deal with rising prices. Eden is preparing for the mission to visit Shennai... "

"Yes."

As soon as Francois came in, he didn't wait for the others to say a word, and spent a few minutes giving them orders respectively.

After explaining everything, he breathed a sigh of relief, lit a cigarette as usual, took a puff and then extinguished it in the ashtray: "Is there any problem?"

"No." Joseph, who was sitting upright, was the first to say.

"No."

The others quickly followed.

"Hmm." Francois was very satisfied with everyone's performance. In this unprecedented change in a century, no one seems to hold him back. "This war is different from any other in history. Its strength and influence have become unpredictable. Except that Bash will challenge Willand's status as a new power, other countries and regions are also ready to move, and there is a great possibility that they will be detonated together. Therefore, I will From the beginning to the end, it is believed that this is not a local conflict, but an unprecedented war that is bound to affect the whole world."

"I trust your judgment." The Home Secretary flattered.

"Wheelland and Bash play a pivotal role in both the east and the west, and have deep ties with the surrounding countries. This time their war is indeed very likely to affect the backlog of problems among other countries, and then cause chaos in many places. Since you mentioned this, you should have some ideas, right?" Some ministers expected that Francois had other ideas.

Francois had a meaningful smile on his face: "Chaos in the world is a disaster for some countries, but an opportunity for others."

"The scale of the war between Wellland and Bash will definitely not be small. When we sell arms at high prices, there will definitely be a group of people rushing to buy them."

"Not only ammunition, but also the prices of medical supplies and food will skyrocket. As the world's second largest food exporter after Bash, when Wellland imposes economic sanctions on Bash and the fleet blocks Bash's sea routes, We can sit back and wait for all parties to come to us for food with new price lists.”

"In addition to making money, if the scale of the war is further escalated this time, there is a high probability that it will reshape the world pattern. A world that urgently needs to restore order is the easiest lamb for us to obtain benefits."

"We are the ones all parties are trying to win over, and as long as we stand still, they will continue to throw out benefits to seek alliances."

Everyone here has the same idea as Francois, that is, chaos is an opportunity and countless benefits for the mighty Brecy.

"Enough." Francois stopped everyone's discussion, "No matter how good those things are, they are not readily available. Don't fall into a dream before the shells are fired."

"Your Excellency, do you have any thoughts?" Joseph asked.

"My thoughts?" Francois glanced at the dozens of people in front of him, "I'm saying this to make it clear to you that the conflict between Welland and Bash is just the beginning, and the evolution of the future situation will definitely surpass many people. At that time, there will naturally be many opportunities, but these opportunities must have the strength and courage to seize them."

"Yes." Joseph listened carefully.

"In addition to the ones I just arranged, there are still some things to do, such as increasing military spending, and supporting some countries..."

When it comes to raising military expenditures, the eyes of the military people immediately become fiery.

Francois continued: "In this era of turmoil, each of us is a witness and writer of history, but this is far from enough. What we have to do is to make Brecy the greatest country. Be the greatest. I hope you guys are ready to be great."

The meeting lasted very short. After 15 minutes, François explained everything that should be explained, left the conference hall, and first met with the first arrived Ambassador Selivanovich.

"Long time no see." In the presidential office, Francois puffed out his chest, looking leisurely and proud.

Now that Welland and Bash have officially torn apart, he has become the most sought-after, the key figure who determines the direction of the battle.

Selivanovich saluted, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Long time no see, Your Excellency President."

"I know everything. It seems that you can't wait to defeat Welland, eat Nile, and become a great power." Francois waved his hand and motioned Selivanovic to sit down and chat.

"We didn't know about the assassination of Prince Albert, so this is undoubtedly a frame-up by the Welland royal family, an excuse they made to declare war on us." Selivanovich argued.

"What is the truth of the matter, does anyone care?" Francois cut to the real topic, "Tell me what you want to do when you come to me. I left Ambassador Benjamin of Welland aside to see you first." You, I hope what you're going to talk about next will be something that interests me."

Selivanovich also knew that his explanation for the assassination was very pale. In such a major event that affects the world, it is difficult to explain the truth even if there is evidence, let alone they have no evidence: "You should remember that we went to It was agreed upon when we first met."

"certainly."

“I wonder if you have changed your mind in this time?”

"Hehe..." Francois laughed, "As an ambassador, why would you ask such a funny question? What if I answer yes or no? What can only be agreed verbally? Interest is the strongest guarantee."

Selivanovich, who was ridiculed by Francois, did not feel angry or ashamed, and said calmly: "Because verbal agreements are not binding, I can only understand your thoughts through verbal inquiries. I think a lot of things can be honest before it happens, when everything is between you and me."

Francois raised his eyebrows: "My thoughts haven't changed."

"I believe your words unconditionally, and at the same time, I came here today to reach some new cooperation." Selivanovich said.

"Tell me."

"As I mentioned to you before, we have a perfect way to help you get out of the war. Brisey withdrew from the battlefield with legitimate reasons. Welland alone cannot implement a complete blockade against us, and it cannot be carried out. A complete blockade, and the army can't take advantage of us. If things go on like this, Wellland's failure to win means losing. So whether Wellland's strength is questioned, his international influence is declining, or his interests in Nile are damaged, it will all be It is beneficial to both of us..." Selivanovich repeated a whole lot about the benefits of Lexi's cooperation with Bash's retreat.

"I know all this, what is the new cooperation?" Francois asked after listening patiently to Selivanovic.

"We want to use you to obtain military intelligence on Wellland." Selivanovich said the new direction of cooperation.

François's facial expression changed slightly, but his tone still sounded calm and natural: "How would I know Welland's military information?"

"We already have some information. After the war, you will send the Brisey Royal Fleet, the Oral Sea Fleet, and some armies to participate in the battle. Two of the fleets are responsible for the United Wellland's blockade of our sea area." Selivanovich said, "As we all know, Wellland's navy is extremely powerful. Our number of warships of the same level is less than one-third of theirs, and it is impossible to confront us head-on. If we don't confront, let them do something to us. The naval blockade has brought us a heavy price, so we need to use military intelligence to make up for the disadvantages, launch a powerful counterattack, and break Wellland's maritime hegemony."

"Do you know what you're talking about?" Francois smiled ugly.

Selivanovich looked at Francois solemnly, but did not speak.

"It's very whimsical, it's just a dream." Francois felt a little scared, "The warships in Wellland are far behind us, let alone you can rely on the little information we have when we jointly blockade. It can be remedied. And compared to evacuating for legitimate reasons, the risk of leaking information is ten times greater, and we absolutely cannot bear it.”

"I didn't say that the gap can be completely filled through intelligence, but doing so will make our naval operations more calm. Compared to a powerful Welland Navy that no one dares to mess with, I think what you want to see is After being weakened, the gap with Bresey has narrowed, and it has even been overtaken by Bresey." Selivanovic followed the same logic as the previous negotiation, that is, Bash cooperated with Bresci, and Will Lan's weakening is Bresci's greatest benefit.

Brecy's navy is also very powerful, but it is still relatively weak compared to Wellland's. If Bash can greatly consume the vitality of Wellland's navy in this war and make it lose its supremacy at sea, then naturally, Blessie can take advantage of the situation and suppress Wellland in turn, and can walk sideways in various sea areas.

This is coupled with Wellland's defeat in the war with Bash and the loss of all the interests in Nile. Even if Bresci can't surpass Wellland to become the most powerful country, he can still be equal to it, no longer threatened by it.

Francois was a little moved.

But what he is most worried about is whether the Bash navy has the strength to compete with the Welland navy. Anyway, according to the information he has so far, the gap between Bash's navy and Welland navy is far from being able to be made up by intelligence. Eggs Hitting a stone is of little significance, it will only increase the risk of exposure for him.

"Are you worried that we don't have the strength, right?" Selivanovich saw through what Francois was thinking.

"It's obvious." Francois spread his hands, expressing that he was helpless in the face of such a gap in strength.

"Then I can reveal some information to you." Selivanovich lowered his voice even though the president's office was sufficiently confidential and safe, "We have already begun to build a more powerful battleship, and we received it from Pruman a week ago. We have purchased many new cruisers and torpedo boats, our naval strength must be much higher than your judgment, and it is not that we are not qualified to fight against the Welland Navy."

Francois's eyes lit up.

No wonder.

How could Bash watch his long coastline become a shortcoming, and after the war broke out, he was trampled by Welland's fleet.

It turns out that they have been secretly improving the strength of the navy and speeding up to make up for the shortcomings. It's just that the gap with Welland cannot be fully filled with a period of time and a lot of financial resources. At this time, the information Brexi will have at that time will be particularly important on the battlefield.

"Pluman sold you new destroyers and torpedo boats?" Francois never expected that Pruman, who had been keeping a low profile, would actually intervene.

"Of course, they also have quite a conflict of interest with Wellland in the North Sea. It would be best to sell us new warships at a low price and use our strength to weaken the strength of the Wellland Navy." Selivanovich It was revealed that Bash and Pruman had also reached an alliance.

Realizing that all emerging powers are secretly uniting together, and wanting to take advantage of this opportunity to pull Wellland from his hegemony, Francois had to face up to the in-depth cooperation with Bash.
