"What does this have to do with the military?"
Five minutes ago, the president was looking forward to a new day, but five minutes later, he had signs of headache. "If the ship is gone, let someone find it. I really don't understand what this has to do with the military."
He endured not swearing. Early in the morning, the military representative submitted a "Navy expansion plan" to the presidential cabinet and the Ministry of defense, which directly made the president's head buzzing.
So far, we have only heard of the reduction of the army, but we have not heard of the expansion of the army.
Moreover, the Federation has no need for expansion. There is no possibility of war in the world in a short time. Even if it breaks out, it has nothing to do with the Federation. It is obviously a little inexplicable for the military to emerge at this time.
The Secretary of defense stood at the president's desk. He read the report in his hand and spread his hands. "Yesterday, a federal cargo ship to Amelia disappeared..."
The president nodded impatiently. "I know, but what does this have to do with the military?"
The Secretary of defense was a little embarrassed. "The military..." he quickly changed his way of saying, "the Navy thinks it is likely to be a trick of some countries. They want to see our jokes. Our cargo ships will be lost at the federal door, and the whole world will think our navy is better than that."
"Even if we can defeat gavra's fleet!"
After saying these words, the tone of the Secretary of defense decreased a little, not as passionate as just now, "moreover, the Navy's establishment is still a defensive establishment in the era of escapism, which can't be used."
When the president heard this, he casually looked through the expansion plan on the table, and the room fell into a brief silence.
The Navy's view is that it is now in the golden age of the development of the Federal Navy. In the past, in order not to be misunderstood by some countries, the Federation had only one and a half complete naval formation.
A formal formation and a reserve formation. After the naval battle, in order to make other countries not regard the Federation as the enemy of the main defense, the Federation has not expanded the Navy, which also means that the navy has maintained the scale of the era of escapism.
The era of escapism was a thing of the past. At that time, the military and soldiers were not valued by society and could not help it. But now the navy is very strong, and the federal policy has changed from conservative to radical. Some things must change.
For example, after the expansion, there will be more captains, more school officers and even generals, which is the key!
After all, it's for power.
There are three or five generals in a full formation. So many officers are waiting to be promoted to general. How can they be promoted without expansion?
Moreover, the commander in chief of the Navy with only one formation and the commander in chief of the Navy with many clusters are different in any way.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the Navy put forward this request for expansion.
More than half an hour later, the president saw almost. He closed the report, clenched his hands against his chin and thought seriously.
He can stand firm, and the military has indeed given a lot of help. Of course, this is also due to Truman. He is a bridge connecting the military.
When the military gives him help, he should give feedback. This is the official way of the federal president - the people who give me help should give double feedback.
If someone doesn't obey this rule, people won't choose him next time.
If the president still wants to be re elected, he can't give up the military, but now the expansion seems a little... Too radical.
This is not a simple matter to be casually approved and sent to Congress for discussion, but to consider the attitude of the whole international community.
The expansion of the Navy means the strengthening of maritime military, and means that more strike forces can cross the Great Eastern Ocean, which forms a terrible force deterrent to all countries along the Great Eastern Ocean.
What if these countries unite?
What if they further form a military alliance?
These are all fucking things to think about. It's not that simple.
The president looked up at the Secretary of defense. "What do you think?"
The Minister of defense pursed his lips and did not make a statement, but his failure to make a statement at this time is the biggest statement, which means that the position of the Ministry of defense has been biased towards the military.
"You'll really make trouble for me!" the president complained impolitely. He can't refuse directly. After all, the military's support is very important and can't agree directly, which may bring additional political risks.
After a moment's deliberation, he said, "report it to Congress for discussion!"
The Secretary of defense smiled more. The Federal Ministry of defense and the military belong to two institutions, but they coincide. Approving the expansion of the Navy means that there will be more generals in the Federation, and some former generals also have the opportunity to go further.
People in the Ministry of national defense can jump back to the army to endure and rise again. People in the army can also jump into the Ministry of national defense to accumulate civilian work experience and lay a good foundation for the promotion of senior generals in the future. This is beneficial to everyone.
After seeing the Secretary of defense leave, the president drank the coffee he had planned to taste slowly. He needed something to sober himself up, or calm down.
Agree, but don't push. It seems a little stupid, but this time period is too sensitive.
He not only wants to consolidate the support of voters, but also does not want to lose the support of conservative voters. Any blind decision is stupid before the results come out. He must be careful.
With the president's approval, the expansion of the navy was included in the process. At the same time, a large number of federal newspapers began to promote a topic - is it necessary for the Federation to show its strength to the world?
From the "federal daily" to "daily entertainment", whether it is a serious current affairs and political journal, or the kind of lace tabloid that chases gossip and supplement girls all day, have begun to ask this question.
We are already so strong, so should we let others know.
One of the core events promoting this matter is the disappearance of the cargo ship.
To be honest, without the promotion of public opinion, 99% of the people in the federal society don't care that a cargo ship has disappeared, because they have nothing to do with their lives.
There were neither their families nor their belongings on the freighter. They wouldn't move when they heard the news.
But when it comes to national dignity and national self-esteem, the upsurge it brings detonates public opinion.
You know, in escapism a few years ago, people were embarrassed enough, and facts also proved that escape was worthless, so retaliatory radicalism began to prevail, and people were more radical than ever before.
"63.1% of the people believe that disarmament should be stopped, the current Navy should be expanded, and more warships should be sent to protect federal merchant ships from pirates."
"22% of the people believe that the current situation should be maintained and that excessive display of force should not lead to misunderstanding among neighbors..."
According to the results of the public opinion survey in Lynch's readers' newspaper, there was an irrepressible smile on his face, "the strength of the federates from the inside out is showing, and the future will be a better future."
Sitting around him were high-ranking officials in Navy uniforms, including even two generals.
Everyone's face was full of smiles, and they were obviously satisfied with the promotion of the whole thing.
Lynch's aircraft company is actually just a link and a node. Its value is to give the Navy and members of Congress more opportunities to contact.
What really made Lynch get naval friendship was the plan he presided over to promote the expansion of the Navy.
When he proposed the plan, Mr Truman knew that the Navy could not refuse.
Among the officers of some low rank naval academies is a Navy Lieutenant General who has worked for nearly 20 years. He has not had a few years.
I thought I could only retire with the rank of lieutenant general in the end of my life, and then live a regretful life. I didn't expect to have such a chance in the end!
Once expanded, the generals in the Navy will change their positions more or less. Colonel will change to brigadier general, brigadier general to major general, major general to lieutenant general, lieutenant general to... Admiral!
Of course, if we want to promote this matter, we must get 60% of the members of the military committee of Congress to agree, and more than 50% of the members of Congress voted in favor. It is not easy to do this.
Due to historical and political problems, the military was unpopular in the past. It was largely similar to the kind of "neither protecting the country nor making achievements". Under the distorted propaganda of politicians, people did not like soldiers and did not want their families to join the army.
So the Navy didn't consider this at first, until Lynch mentioned his ideas and plans, which had a great success rate, and the whole thing didn't need anyone else to pay a penny. Lynch lobbied Congress to agree to the expansion of the Navy out of his own pocket.
How could the Navy refuse such a rich and influential friend who is willing to establish relations with the military.
Not to mention that Mr. Truman also plays a key role in this. As a political spokesman pushed by the Navy, his attitude can also affect the Navy's choice to a great extent.
"Mr. Lynch, do you think we have a chance to succeed?", lieutenant general made no secret of his desire and asked some red fruit questions.
The major general around him and other school officials looked at Lynch with hot eyes, which was the most expected moment in more than ten years.
Lynch nodded without hesitation. "As long as I follow my script, the navy can be expanded before the presidential election."
"Gentlemen, once we can get the opportunity to expand before the presidential election, it means that we can expand the Navy for the second time during Mr. President's term of office. At that time, the size of the Navy will far exceed that at any time since the founding of the Federation."
"This will be the most glorious era for the Navy!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
