Chapter 862: This is the ruler!

The thunderstorm came quickly and went quickly, that is, ten minutes or so. The water curtain between heaven and earth was gone, and the whole human world seemed to have been washed by God in a washing machine. Everything was so clean.

Looking at the empty military port, only some towing ships were left, and the painter's expression became much more solemn.

He waited for a while, left home, came to a nearby phone booth, and dialed a number.

"I want to ask if your art gallery has any free holidays recently. I want to rent it to hold a personal art exhibition.", he had a cigarette in his mouth.

He rarely smokes. As an agent, a spy, any mark that can be left on him, he must avoid.

The smell of smoke is one of them.

Of course, he is not completely non-smoking. Sometimes he still smokes, for example, before taking a bath, standing on the balcony to smoke one, waving to the girls on the side of the road in the glow of the sunset, not to mention how comfortable it is.

Now he smokes, in the phone booth, because his mission is over, and he can be himself again.

Doing this kind of work is not romantic at all. Although the movies playing now are all romantic stories, it is actually not romantic at all.

Every day he lives in anxiety. Any wind and grass will make him sensitive. He suspects that if nothing happens again, he will turn himself into a madman!

Sometimes his painting will suddenly become very manic, which indicates that his mental state is obviously a bit wrong. He also knows that his spirit may have a little problem, but he can only persist.

Fortunately, everything at this moment is over.

The phone is not dialed directly to the Federation. Neither the Federation nor Dantra has the technology to lay submarine cables across the entire East Ocean.

This phone is dialed to Ande. The person responsible for contacting him is now on the side of Ande.

He doesn't know how this news will return to the Federation in the end. He only cares about his current situation.

The phone was quickly connected. "This is the Good Helper City Rat Extermination Company. If you are harassed by rats, cockroaches, and termites, we are your absolute good helper!"

"What can I do for you?"

The painter wanted to laugh, but he still had to follow the rules, even if this person was the one who contacted him.

As long as he doesn't follow the rules, the other party will not only not record this message, but may also evacuate immediately.

He became serious. "Do you manage wild boars?"

The guy on the other end of the phone didn't speak immediately. After about ten seconds, the person who answered the phone said in an uncertain voice, "Gentlemen, wild boars are not within our scope of work."

"I can add money."

"This has nothing to do with money..."

"All of it!"

Waiting for a few seconds again, the person who answered the phone still refused to serve him. "If you are sick, you can go to a psychiatric hospital to see. Are you crazy?"

The painter smoked a cigarette and slowly exhaled, as if exhaling all the depression and dissatisfaction. "The one who is crazy is this world!"

The other party hung up the phone directly, and the painter also slowly hung up the phone. He knew that his mission was finally over at this moment!

After the receptionist of this rat extermination company in Ande put down the phone, he dialed another phone and conveyed a predetermined message in a secret language.

Subsequently, another group of people transmitted this message to the territory of Slav through telegrams. The next day, it appeared on the desk of an official in a certain office of the Ministry of Defense.

It was still a secret language format. Except for the painter and his superior, as well as the supervisor responsible for this action, no one else knew what these messages were.

The supervisor took his codebook, compared it with the meaningless content on it, and finally cracked the core secret telegram.

A few minutes later, a very small number of people, including the President, knew this news.

The joint fleet of the Dantra Navy has been fully dispatched.

Senator Cleveland, who was in a meeting, was fully focused on the meeting itself. Suddenly, his chief aide pushed the door and entered, walked to his side lightly but without making a sound, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Senator Cleveland nodded slightly, then raised his hand.

The person reading the material stopped. Everyone's eyes were focused on him. "I have something to do. You continue, and tell me the result when I come back."

After saying two apologies, he got up and left with his chief aide.

Not long after, he took a car to another place, a private manor.

The President was already here. In addition to the President, there were the Minister of Defense and two generals of the military.

The Congress side also had four people here. They greeted Senator Cleveland when they saw him. Senator Cleveland apologized while sitting on the vacant sofa.

"The situation now is like this. They have already set off for a day. According to our prediction, they will arrive at the easternmost part of Xiang Yalan in about a week and appear outside Jincheng in nine days."

"In other words, we still have eight days to press the stop button for this matter!"

The person speaking was another senator. Senator Cleveland and the President didn't speak, and others were the same.

This plan... there is no need to press the stop button.

The person speaking shrugged. "It seems we have all chosen another path."

The military is not a steel plate either. There are still camps and gangs.

In the past, the contradiction between them might be money.

The military expenditure of the Federation every year is only so much. In the absence of war and the possibility of war, the military expenditure is only a little bit.

The Army gets a little more, and the Navy can only get a little less.

It just so happens that whether it is the Army or the Navy, their equipment is a big money eater.

For example, those warships, large-tonnage warships, the price of one can make the Army's lungs explode.

The two sides quarreled at the Congressional hearing for the issue of military expenditure, and even fighting was not once or twice.

Soldiers!

When the temper comes up, taking off the belt is pulling each other.

After the outbreak of the war on the Tanfei Continent, the relationship between the two sides was slightly better for a period of time, but for a period of time, as the Army continued to make contributions, the Presidential Palace, the Ministry of Defense, and Congress all intended to let the Army lead the war and give them more command.

Let the Navy cooperate with the Army to fight, and the initiative is completely in the hands of the Army.

From the perspective of the Presidential Palace, the Ministry of Defense, and Congress, the war on the Tanfei Continent is mainly a ground war, centered on the historical problems and racial problems left over between Slav and Dantra.

There are rivers there, but battleships definitely can't get in, and larger ships can't get in, so the Navy can only play some role in coastal areas, and the war must be led by the Army.

But the Navy doesn't quite agree. Everyone is an equal federal soldier. Why should the Navy listen to the Army's command?

And how are the merits of the war calculated?

Everyone actually knows in their hearts that the Army will definitely get the most merits, and the Navy can at most mix an assist.

If the luck is not very good, maybe they can't even mix an assist, because they are indeed not very helpful to the war, not very intuitive.

But the Navy has always been trying to create a side that is advantageous to itself. The contradiction between the Army and the Navy has begun to highlight just one year after the Federation participated in the war.

The two generals who came to attend this meeting were Army generals, and they also knew this news, but they didn't tell the Navy people.

For them, only when the Navy loses a big face can they realize how stupid their idea of wanting to lead the war is!

So they don't mind pushing them in this matter.

Seeing that everyone neither agreed nor opposed, defaulting in a silent way, the President shook the wine glass in his hand and took a small sip.

These are the best wines, coming out of the private wine cellar. The commercial wine outside cannot enter this manor at all.

"Then what are we doing here?", he looked at the people on the Congress side. "Having this time is not as good as letting me go to the lawn to smoke a few poles!"

He was talking about playing golf. He likes to play golf. There is an indoor golf fairway in his office. Although the length is not long, it can also let him satisfy his addiction in his spare time.

The Speaker of the Senate shook his head. "Still have to talk about some subsequent situations. According to our previous plan, we can use this reason to increase investment in the war and take over the Star Island and Xiang Yalan regions."

Everyone nodded one after another.

Although the Federation propagates to the inside that they are victorious in every battle on the battlefield, as if they haven't fought any defeat, and the enthusiasm of the federal people for the war is also very high, this doesn't mean that the people will support them to continue to invest in the war.

This is actually a very fucked-up problem.

If the battlefield is defeated, then the people will be afraid to continue to invest in the war, not only losing wealth, but also losing a large number of young guys. Federal families can't stand this.

But if the war has always shown a good side and has always been victorious, the federal people are also unwilling to continue to increase investment in the war, because the investment they pay now is enough to deal with this war. Why increase investment in the war?

Federal people may not be able to calculate the addition and subtraction within twenty, but they are very sensitive to the question of whether the government is playing conspiracies.

This has caused the federal government to have no reason and no support from the people to continue to increase investment in the war.

But now the situation of the war is so good, the federal government is trying to master more say within the Slav Military Alliance.

Once the war is led by the Federation, then the federal government will consider obtaining more benefits from the war!

They can demand that Dantra people compensate them with more resources, more technology, more population, and it is possible to station troops in Dantra, thereby establishing a springboard to directly threaten the situation of the entire Tanfei Continent!

To take a step back, not so ambitious, if they can lead the war, then after the war ends, they can not only obtain reconstruction orders from many countries on the Tanfei Continent, but also dump federal industrial products to these countries.

Just because there is such a market that has not been fully developed, the economic problems within the Federation have been alleviated immediately.

Those economists believe that the economic depression that will last for ten to twenty years has just begun and hasn't had time to let the federal people see its power, and it has begun to leave!

This is not because the President's policy is good, nor is it because the ability of the governor or local leaders is good, it is purely that they have encountered a good time!

Even if it is a pig, put it in the position of the leader, as long as it doesn't interfere with the free market, the economy will inevitably improve!

To maintain all this, one must obtain the leading power, more say, and the power to formulate new rules!

So how can the people agree to continue to increase investment in the war?

Very simple, let them feel pain!

Not the pain of not being able to fight, but the pain of being attacked by this despicable and shameless villain.

This is a provocation!

And provocation will make the old federal people with bad tempers support their government to teach this disobedient little guy a lesson!

What the Speaker of the Senate said was what they had discussed before, and everyone naturally wouldn't have any other thoughts. This is in the interest of everyone here.

Many bottom-level people always feel that the ruling class is evil and bad.

In fact, just in terms of who is more willing to make this country stronger, there is no doubt that the ruling class is more eager for this country to be more beautiful and stronger.

Because this represents that they can control more resources, control more wealth and power!

"The north is also not very honest recently. According to the intelligence analysis we obtained from the back, they may have had contact with Dantra people privately."

The Minister of Defense sent some intelligence documents to them, and Senator Cleveland also got a copy in his hand.

He took out the reading glasses placed in his upper pocket. Recently, he has been in meetings and reading documents. Now he feels that his vision has regressed slightly.

The doctor said this is just a manifestation of fatigue. As long as he doesn't use his eyes excessively for a period of time and doesn't stare at those words in dim light, his situation can be alleviated.

But the problem is, this is exactly the point he can't do.

Whether in the office or returning home, he needs to process a large number of documents or browse some materials. He can't let himself "completely relax for a period of time," unless he is no longer a senator.

He frowned and looked at the materials in his hand. This is the military mobilization situation of the three northern countries recently.

They began to conscript soldiers, and the border line, which was almost a decoration, is now also stationed with some troops.

According to the information obtained by intelligence personnel, the main work of the three northern countries is still "preventing invasion," not wanting to go to war with the Federation.

But for the gentlemen here, just a defensive posture also means they are no longer safe.

Some people held the knife in their hands in order not to be hurt, but in the end, it became a sharp weapon for him to take the initiative to hurt others!

Having a sharp weapon in one's heart will lead to a desire to kill. This sentence is not a joke.

Whether it is a person or a country, as long as the weapon in his hand can make him feel safe, then soon they will breed the desire for aggression.

"This matter does need to be taken seriously. Perhaps we can talk to them."

"Diplomatic means, and then deterrence.", Senator Cleveland expressed his view. He took off his glasses and rubbed his eye sockets.

The Speaker of the House also gave the same view. "Regardless of whether Dantra people have lobbied them, we all need to do some public relations on these things."

At the same time, he also mentioned, "If you also have the same view, then it is best that we can arrange this matter as soon as possible."

"I am worried that once we send troops to the Xiang Yalan region, these northerners will refuse to negotiate with us."

Others also thought of the reason he said so. After all, invaders are more frightening.

At this time, the President also talked about the Xiang Yalan problem. "We send troops directly to occupy their territory, will it be too... direct?"

"After all, these lands will eventually become the territory of the Federation, and the people living there will also become citizens of the Federation. If we are too barbaric and unreasonable, it will have a great impact on our subsequent rule."

"It may also have a certain impact on the north."

The Senate Majority Leader, who is also a Social Party member, responded to this question. "But it is very difficult for us to use relatively gentle means to deal with those people in Xiang Yalan. If we don't clean up the local indigenous regime, they will become a trouble!"

They have already regarded the Xiang Yalan region as a part of the Federation. They want to wave the banner of "freedom" to help Xiang Yalan people achieve freedom and liberation!

When the time comes, let them hold a referendum and let the people make a loud voice!

Of course, this referendum doesn't mean that they have abolished the existing ruling system, but whether they are willing to join the warm big family of the Federation.

Presumably, they are very willing!

So this requires cleaning up the current batch of rulers, and it is best to use a way that is not so intense and not so formal.

Senator Cleveland took out a cigarette. They talked about this problem last time. The original rulers definitely can't stay.

But the problems caused by the slaughter of federal indigenous people haven't been solved until now, even if they tampered with history, it won't work. After all, some people are still alive.

As long as these people are alive, the personal museums they founded will constantly tell people how federal people treat the indigenous people of this land.

For example, making them into wallets, leather boots, leather clothes, etc.

So this time they don't want to implement large-scale slaughter on the local regime of Xiang Yalan, which will make them not so just.

Senator Cleveland already had an idea in his mind. "We don't have to do it ourselves, find others to do it, the effect is the same, and that's enough."

Others looked at him, and the President shook his toes with crossed legs. "Talk about your thoughts."

Senator Cleveland organized his thoughts in a very short time. He said, "We can use some non-official forces..."

In his mind, the shock brought by the unified clothing of the Lanse family emerged. He felt that perhaps Lanse could give him a surprise in this matter!
