"You're worried!"

After the two of them looked at each other in silence for half a minute, Governor Seder's words directly spoke to the president's heart.

Just as he was about to say something, Governor Seder shook his hand, "Don't deny it, I can understand your worries, and my pressure is no less than yours. His Majesty talked to me not long ago, but I convinced him."

"I know what you are afraid of. Now I have taken the pressure off. You have to win, and you have to win beautifully. Only in this way can we preserve our interests in this region and..." He smiled lightly, " …Save yourselves.”

If someone wants to be abandoned, it is obvious that the president of the Chamber of Commerce is a very suitable candidate.

He has a certain reputation and a certain status. Abandoning him can satisfy some people's needs for the development of the situation. At the same time, it will not interfere with the actual operation of local power, and it will not embarrass anyone, such as the governor.

That's why he hurriedly ran to find out. Things were changing too fast these days, and he was afraid that he would become the one abandoned.

It took several generations of hard work to achieve the wealth and power he has today. He really couldn't bear to part with those things.

Hearing the Governor comforting him so much at this time, he breathed a sigh of relief and hid his true thoughts, "I have not considered those things. It is our honor to serve you and the empire!"

Governor Seder pointed at him and exposed his untrue words without hesitation, "Hypocrisy!"

The president of the Chamber of Commerce did not dare to be upset at all when he was exposed. He smiled in a catering manner, "Yes, I was a little hypocritical, but I feel at ease now. Your support for us is the best news this year."

This is the beauty of power. The president of the Chamber of Commerce, who is unattainable in the eyes of others, must maintain his caution in the face of power at this moment, for fear of doing something bad that will cause the governor's displeasure. .

Is it because of love that people who are dozens of years old still have to put down their posture to cater to you?

Is it because of responsibility?

No!

It's because of power.

The smile on the governor's face gradually faded, "I have arranged corresponding countermeasures, and you also have a mission, which is to win."

"We must win openly and win all the projects, and let the whole world know that even if something happened between us, we still choose not to back down when facing the Federation!"

The defeat in the naval battle dealt a heavy blow to the Gefra people and caused some unexpected problems at home.

When a proud or even arrogant group encounters a devastating blow, the emotional changes of the crowd will often be in two extremes.

The first type is that they will not admit failure, but will find various reasons for failure, and then firmly believe that the so-called failure is nothing more than the result of a coincidence that is not enough to serve as a valid judgment.

Second, failure will suddenly crush their arrogance and make them question or even deny themselves. These people will be immersed in a pessimistic mood and it is difficult to get rid of it.

This kind of polarization is also present in Gefra's society, and the number of the second type of people is constantly increasing.

These people hope that the empire will not be tough when it comes to federal issues. This idea is understandable. After all, Gefra is only a "small country" and does not have enough strategic depth. If their main military means, the navy and naval warfare, cannot be obtained for them, In terms of military superiority, this means that the flames of war will burn to the mainland of Gefra.

This is absolutely devastating for an island country. Pessimism, lack of confidence, and even fear of war have begun to breed.

If the people in power in the Amelia area at this time choose to actively give in when faced with the approach of the Federation, it may deepen the fear of the people in the country.

Before the Federation, when escapism was prevalent, everyone saw that people opposed war because they were afraid of war. This kind of thing is likely to happen to Gaevra, so it is important to enhance national confidence.

As an important minister of the empire and the governor of Amelia, Governor Seder knew exactly what he should do.

He can be a little more relaxed with the federal people later, but at the beginning, they must realize that this is not a federation where capital trumps power. What they want to do here must be done according to the rules of the Gefra people, and It’s not federal capital that goes first.

"Do it boldly, I will support you, His Majesty will support you, and all the people will support you..."

The president of the Chamber of Commerce, who had regained his confidence, quickly stood up and left. He received the attitude from above and knew what to do.

The weather at the end of April was already a bit hot, and Lynch, who had returned to the temporary base, was discussing the next ideas with the seven or eight federal businessmen who had arrived.

In order to provide everyone with a comfortable environment, several electric fans are installed in the room.

The blades of the electric fans continued to rotate, bringing cool air, but suddenly, the rotation speed of all the fans began to decrease, so that it stopped completely after more than a minute.

"What's wrong?", frowned, "Go and see what's going on."

As he spoke, he turned back to look at the merchants in front of him and explained with a smile, "It may be a problem with the wiring. This place is too backward compared to the Federation. I don't know that the technology of the Gefra people can only do So far, they still haven’t repaired the lines here.”

Everyone agreed with this, but not long after, the staff brought unexpected news, "Mr. Lynch, there is no problem with the line. The problem is that there is a power outage here."

"power failure?"

"Didn't it say that there will be continuous power supply in the Empire Area?"

The Imperial District is not large, and more than 90% of the local Gefra people live here. What Lynch learned before is that there is continuous power supply here for 24 hours, and there will be no problems. .

The staff member's lips trembled, and then with Lynch's comfort, he told the truth.

"Only our area has a power outage, other places are fine."

"How big is our area?" Lin Qi's eyes flashed, and he roughly understood the situation.

"Five houses..."

Hearing this, Lynch couldn't help but laugh. He turned around and looked at the businessmen from the Federation who looked a little serious or worried, and said with a smile, "It seems they are afraid of us!"

"This reminds me of a book I read before. In the book, there is such a couple. They dislike the protagonist very much and are afraid of the protagonist. However, the protagonist lives in their home."

"In order to ensure that their own interests are not violated, they try every means to drive the protagonist out, but they cannot do it too obviously because they are afraid."

"They're throwing rats into soup pots and mud into bathtubs, all to get rid of these people."

"The power is cut off now, so is it time to cut off the water supply next?"

"The more they do, the more it shows that they are afraid of our arrival. Gentlemen, this is not a terrible thing. They know that they cannot defeat us on the frontal battlefield, so they can only use these despicable means to disgust us. "

"The more they do, the more afraid they become..."

A very special point of view, and it is very consistent with the current situation. People's emotions began to stabilize. At this time, another staff member came in and said softly, "Mr. Lynch, our water is also cut off... "

The gentlemen in the room looked at each other. Not only did they not feel any indignation about this, but they laughed loudly and seemed no longer angry or upset at all.

After letting the staff leave, Lynch slowly breathed a sigh of relief, "I know, some people think that I am too sensitive and nervous, and magnify a very small thing to a big extent. They think it is just a power plant project." , there is no need to break up with the Chamber of Commerce here."

"Since they want it, let them..."

During this time, the problems Lynch encountered in Zhulis have spread among the overseas Federation businessmen. People know that people here have a very unfriendly attitude towards Lynch, even brutal and rude. They also know that Lynch is also very tough. Deal with it and go back.

Many people didn't understand what he did, and now he needed to explain it, at least to let the federal people who came here understand why he did it.

"...This idea is silly, gentlemen. To the people here, we are actually robbers. Although we are doing business, our behavior is no different from robbery."

"We're breaking into their homes with guns in our hands, grabbing their bags full of money, and now all of a sudden they're saying 'Hey, put your money bag down.'"

"The conflict between us is irreconcilable. If we put down our money bags, they will next ask us to put down our weapons, then ask us to get out of their house, and finally ask us to close the door!"

"So from the beginning, we can't give them any assumptions, and let them understand our mutual positions!"

"The plunderers will not negotiate peace with the plundered, let alone make concessions. We must let them understand that our determination to pursue interests will not waver!"

Lynch used a very simple method to establish a distinct image to tell these people about their relationship with the Gaevra merchants and local dignitaries when they were doing business in Amelia.

If some people still imagine that they can cooperate and properly solve these problems, then it can only be said that these people are too naive and not suitable for business.

At this time, a federal businessman carefully asked a question, "Mr. Lynch, are we just going to sit back and watch them do this and not fight back?"

"Also, is this place necessary for us and the Federation?"

Maybe this is what many people think. Is it necessary to compete for business and territory with the Gefra people on their chassis? If this is not necessary, there is no need to do so.

Looking at the people in front of him, Lin Qi didn't tell them much truth, just one sentence.

"There will be no pie in the sky. Whatever you want, you have to fight for it and grab it!"
