It was an absurd and ridiculous night.
She didn't know if it was because she messed up Penny and Lynch's first time.
At least, that was what she thought. It was definitely not a satisfying first time. She messed up everything, and in the end, she had to solve these problems clumsily.
This also caused Penny to have some lack of self-confidence in certain aspects. Sometimes, it was difficult to understand the thoughts of the young people in the Federation.
Some girls were afraid that the people they liked would think that they were unattractive, so they took the initiative to sleep with some bad boys to gain more mating experience!
Yes, they would inexplicably think that having more sexual experience was a symbol of charm. This made many middle-aged and old people, including people like Lynch, feel very distorted.
What kind of education and social environment could make people become like this?
When Penny dealt with the problems that she was not confident in, the solution she thought of was to find some people to help her. In fact, she was actually avoiding the problem, or it could be said that she did not think of solving these problems herself.
Everyone had their own way of dealing with things, and this was her way. It could not be said that she was wrong, because she really wanted to solve the problem.
But it could not be said that she was right, because these methods were based on the foundation of hurting others.
But considering that she was still young, only 20 years old, these were all forgivable.
Because she was young.
When the two girls woke up in the morning, Lynch had already finished his exercise. He had always been very concerned about his body.
There was once a great man who said that "right" only lasted longer than other "wrong".
When all the wrong things disappeared, then what was left was right, even if it was not really right.
In order to live a better life in the world of capital, one must have a good body. Who knew if all his rights would be taken away if he did not attend a board meeting or a shareholders' meeting because of his body?
This kind of thing had happened before, and once it happened, it was very difficult to change it.
On October 11th, the international community reacted, especially the Gaffra media. They seemed to be afraid that the whole world would not know what the Federation had done. They crazily printed newspapers to announce what happened in Marillo to the world, and called it a "shameful invasion".
However, not many people were serious about it because there was no need to. This was also the tragedy of a small country.
People would not stand on the so-called right side of justice and criticize the ugliness of the Federation just because the Federation might invade Marillo. They would wait until the Federation became the messenger of justice. That way, they would not make any mistakes.
The Department of International Affairs quickly retaliated against the Guevara People's influence on international public opinion.
Mister Trumann spread the news of Guevra's invasions in the early years, and even vaguely accused Guevra of starting the First World War.
Everything stemmed from their greed for land and resources.
Mr. Trumann called at nine o 'clock in the morning.
He didn't come to Lynch's birthday party yesterday because he had a lot of meetings to attend.
Ever since Mr. President handed over some things to Mr. Trumann, he was so busy that he was about to explode.
The media used "the laziest" and "the most leisurely" to express the same point of view. That was, the current president was so free that he even had time to play golf. He was not as hardworking as the previous presidents.
At the same time, people had to accept the fact that the power of the Department of International Affairs was rapidly expanding. No one knew how far it would go.
It could even be said that Mr. Trumann now had more political power than the vice president. At least, the vice president didn't have much power, but he had a lot.
Lack of time was one of the reasons why he didn't come.
On the other hand, it was because he now needed to avoid suspicion with Lynch. The more power he had, the more attention he would get.
If it was a more private meeting, it wouldn't be a big problem. However, for something like Lynch's birthday, a party whip had already gone. If he also went to the International Affairs Minister, it would be a bit too much.
That was why he didn't come yesterday.
"Some media outlets may continue to smear your name for a period of time, especially the Gaffra media outlets and some other media outlets …"
Lynch didn't find it strange at all. In fact, he pulled other people in to share the "firepower".
"I can deal with these things. If the media can give me a headache with a few words, I might have been finished long ago."
He responded with a smile.
The media liked him very much, but some media liked to report some negative material. After all, he had a lot of audience. This was a world dominated by wealth and capital. As long as it could create economic benefits, even if it was a little fake evidence to smear Lynch, it was allowed.
There were all kinds of rumors. Some people even said that Lynch was the president's illegitimate son. In short, absurd content was constantly being staged.
Readers liked this, and advertisers would buy pages to put ads.
Audiences liked these ads, and TV stations could exchange time for money.
As for Lynch, he was disgusted but didn't object because he knew that even if he held some people accountable, it would be tantamount to advertising for them.
Therefore, he had always turned a blind eye to some of the criticism and attacks from the media.
"I'm relieved that you think so. In addition, the Ministry of National Defense is very interested in your plan. They have already contacted me and asked when you can confirm it."
Lynch told the military industrial groups that the military observers of the Ministry of National Defense were going to the frontline. In fact, this matter hadn't been discussed yesterday.
The international community was now criticizing Blackstone Security's "invasion". Although the Ministry of National Defense wanted to go, it still took a day of meetings to confirm.
After all, the opportunity was too rare.
The Federation Army had never been to the outside world or fought a war. Just fighting a small warlord exposed a lot of problems. The Ministry of National Defense was also very serious.
This was not a small problem. This might mean that the Federation Army would be like the Guevara People's Army.
Of course, it was high-end for show.
But it was still for show!
The entire Ministry of National Defense completed some personnel transfers without outsiders knowing. Another two colonels in the strategic command center had "retired". They had been recommended to the company's senior management by Blackstone Security's employees.
The procedures were almost done now. There were more than a hundred officers like this. These people would soon go to the frontline to participate in the battle.
Solving a series of problems that had been discovered in the Army became the main task of the Ministry of National Defense at this stage.
At the same time, the Ministry of National Defense also wanted to experiment with some things. Now, they were waiting for Lynch.
Lynch thought for a while. "In less than a week, it should be confirmed around the 15th. It should be faster if we travel by water."
"We'll probably arrive at the frontline position on the 17th, so there's no need to be too anxious."
Mr. Trumann expressed his agreement and explained, "It's not me who's anxious, it's the Ministry of National Defense who's anxious. Also, I have to tell you another thing that may not be very good..."
Hearing this, Lynch's eyebrows raised. He didn't speak, which was also to express his dissatisfaction.
Lynch's silence made Mr. Trumann feel a little awkward. He coughed. "It's like this. The Guevara People are contacting us, hoping to send military observers. Other than them, there should be some other countries."
When he heard this, Lynch's eyebrows relaxed. Instead, he couldn't help but laugh.
This was national politics. They could view a private company's military outsourcing as a country's invasion of another country in the public opinion of the international community.
At the same time, they were thinking of ways to get closer to what was happening. They even wanted to negotiate some conditions and cooperation with the Federation on this issue.
As long as it was beneficial to them, they would do it. This was national politics.
There was no difference between right and wrong because it was meaningless. Foreigners would not think that you were a good person just because you were good to them. When there was a conflict in the future, they would avoid conflict.
They would not do that. They would only pounce on you when you were weak.
And Lynch sensed from Mr. Trumann's tone that there was a possibility that this matter could be negotiated.
Lynch still didn't speak. The awkward atmosphere continued. Mr. Trumann knew that Lynch was expressing his dissatisfaction. He could only patiently explain.
"They provided a list of technologies and hope to cooperate with us within a certain range of technology.
"We have already read that list. I have to say that many of the technologies in it are research projects that we are working hard on.
"This is very important to us. It is related to national security issues. For example, some very simple weapons projects are also mentioned in it …"
Before Mr. Trumann finished speaking, Lynch interrupted him. "How do you know that the projects and results in the list given to you by the Guevara People are real?"
"Maybe they just made up a bunch of things that we need. In fact, they don't have anything."
Mr. Trumann was not annoyed by the interruption. He listened very carefully. "We have also considered this possibility. Because it is a cooperation, we will exchange and share the early research results in the form of an exchange.
"After confirming that both of us have certain results, we will jointly research and develop. They can't unilaterally obtain our data and results without providing the real thing!"
Lynch immediately said, "So I am the one who has to sacrifice some of my interests in this deal?"
This was the truth, but it was not very pleasant to hear, so Mr. Trumann did not speak.
Lynch did not hold back and said directly, "I want benefits!"
