On TV, the host asked a congressman this question, "why does our navy win the gavra, but still be provoked by pirates?"

This is also the question that all federates want to ask most. Not long ago, federates were still cheering for the victory of the naval battle and firmly believed that the Federation had stood up.

But then it was disheartened by some pirates, which was not a good phenomenon, and some people began to doubt whether the Federal Navy was really as invincible as people thought.

The headline on the front page of a newspaper is "what's the matter with us". We can beat gavra, but we can't help some pirates.

The guest sitting on the sofa looked very solemn. He lowered his head slightly and meditated for a moment, and then gave his own answer, "our navy is very strong, but there are few..."

"When we were immersed in the environment created by escapism a few years ago, in order to make ourselves appear harmless, we did not expand our army in the war."

"The war that spread to the world began to end. As we all know, there were no winners in this war, and our government at that time promoted a large-scale disarmament plan in order to meet the needs of the international community for us."

"People's ideas at that time were really different from those at present. It would be ridiculous to look at the past with our current eyes. In order to prove that we were not the 'aggressors' and the initiators of the war, we broke our hands."

"The navy has always had only one complete formation and has not changed until now."

"Through my understanding, at present, almost all naval warships have their own work. In addition to chasing the two warships of the Preston pirate group who are still fleeing, other light warships are escorting some large long-distance trade."

"In other words, in this pirate hijacking incident, we did not do well enough, but the reason why we did not do well is not that we can't fight these pirates, but that we don't have enough warships."

The host is a very intellectual woman. She is in her early thirties and has a rare short hair. She looks very capable.

She is wearing a light pink shirt, a blue collar and a light wide mouth swing pants, which has become popular since the beginning of summer this year.

These clothes, as well as some small accessories, supplemented by her expression, give her a kind of... Intellectual beauty.

"We don't have enough warships?" she repeated. "Why don't we build more warships?"

The congressman interviewed laughed, "this is the historical reason before. In order to reassure our surrounding countries and some strong countries, we can't have more formations or more warships."

The hostess seemed to understand, "so now this has become our problem. We can't take into account all the places?"

She said and asked another question, "now, you have said that these are problems left over by history. Will we consider solving them through this incident?"

"Or does the federal government continue to maintain the current situation in order to maintain this harmless image? I remember that the army has been disarming in recent years and losing its ability to protect itself. Can everyone really rest assured of us?"

The congressman shook his head. "To be honest, I'm not sure. It depends on what our country and society need us to become."

"If the people are still afraid of war and military action as in the past, Congress will not be able to pass any proposal to strengthen our own military capabilities."

"Secondly, it depends on whether other members of Congress have similar ideas with you and us."

"Respect is not because we know how to be polite, but because we have the strength that people have to respect us."

The hostess was very keen to capture some key words, "do you mean that there are still people opposed to army expansion?"

"Why are there such stupid people? Will others give up using force against us because we have no military strength?"

"I remember that in this world war, the aggressor never changed his mind because the aggressor country had no military power..."

The congressman spread out his hands, "people are very complicated..."

The effect of the TV program is very good, and I don't know if this TV program broadcasts similar interviews. In short, the whole federal society understands this.

It is not that the Federal Navy has no way to take those pirates, but that the Federal Navy is simply unable to take care of all aspects.

In these interviews, both the host and invited guests hung up the previous actions of the Conservative Party and continued to attack, so as to stimulate people to transfer their hatred.

They will transfer their hatred for their cowardice to the conservative party through various statements in TV programs, leading to the idea that "it is not my cowardice, but the political party and social environment at that time that forced me to be cowardly".

As soon as this idea is introduced, people will begin to hate the conservative president and his escapism. At the same time, in order to prove that they are not the running dog of escapism, they will stably stand on the side of the Progressive Party and the radicals on some major right and wrong issues - how can I be the running dog of escapism when I am so radical?

This retaliatory social behavior promoted public opinion to reach its peak in just two days. There were even "spontaneous" demonstrations in some places, asking the federal government to expand the Navy and army and contribute to the maintenance of world peace.

If we do not consider that the surrounding countries have been frightened for a few days and the emperor gevlar began to smash things again, the scale and momentum of the parade may be even greater.

It's spontaneous. In fact, there are interest drivers behind it. For example, some shipping companies that can manufacture warships, such as some military industrial groups that produce and sell naval guns, have spent a lot of money on inciting public opinion and organizing demonstrations.

In this way, the time came to the third day.

"We have a preliminary understanding of the other side's sea area, and the navy is ready to attack at any time, but now there is another question, how should we treat the hostages..."

In the president's office, the head of the task force, a colonel and civilian officer of the Ministry of defense, is reporting the progress of this matter. "If we want to take care of the safety of those hostages, the process of exchanging ransom for hostages is essential. We can launch an attack only after we ensure the safety of the hostages."

"But if we do so, we may not get the money back. It is likely to be lost in the battle."

"If we don't consider the safety of the hostages, we will cover them with saturated fire when we lead them out..."

The president suddenly raised his hand to stop him. "The lives of federal citizens are higher than money. Please stop discussing the idea of giving up the lives of hostages, exchange money with them and solve them after ensuring the safety of hostages."

The Colonel nodded and stopped talking. The president has the right to use his privileges to launch a short-term military operation across Congress. Therefore, in this military operation that does not require the consent of Congress, the president has the highest level of authority.

"Do a good job, Colonel. We will hold a press conference first and wait for you to send good news from the front. Don't let me down and let everyone in the Federation down..."

After implying that the Colonel could leave, the president stood up. He walked back and forth on the carpet of the world map in front of his desk, and then looked at Truman standing aside. "Thanks to you for reminding me, otherwise I would lose a lot of points."

"I've communicated with others. When this is over, you can come back to work."

This news made Mr. Truman a little surprised. He thought he would take another vacation, but he didn't expect to come back so soon.

In fact, there is no way. Now it is summer, which means there are only a few months left before the election.

And not long ago, Mr. Truman once again proved his value. He prevented the president from choosing the worst option, so the president increasingly believes that he needs Mr. Truman around more than ever.

The president of the Federation is not an omniscient saint. Let's not discuss whether anyone can steal the divine power of God and achieve omniscientism. In fact, the ability of many presidents is not as good as most of his people.

Whether a politician can become the president of the Federation is not directly related to his personal ability. We need to refer to the supporters behind him and whether he can act.

If you want to do it in this position for a long time, you need some capable people to help him, and you should be your confidant.

The president attaches great importance to Truman, who not only has extraordinary intelligence, but also represents the military. Except for occasionally having a little temper, almost everything is the best.

He can not give Truman back to work first. Anyway, the latter can be with him, but he did so, because the partnership period between the two is not only these years, but the next eight years.

At this time, the president made no secret of his ambition. His goal was to be a ten-year president and a powerful president, so he needed more non consortium people to help him.

"I thought I'd have to wait a little longer. You know, those people are not so talkative." Mr. Truman replied with a smile. The "people" in his mouth are the people he has offended before.

At this time, the president made a different statement than before, with some rare contempt in his smile, "in fact, you are more capable than me, but you are unwilling to do something you don't want to do."

"It takes some skills to communicate with those people. As long as you learn these skills, you will find that they are not much smarter than fools!"
