What His Excellency the President said to the people was actually related to many policy changes that had not been announced. The people in this room would get the exact information before these policy changes were announced.
Most of the time, people's failure was not because they did not work hard enough, but because they were born with a lack of success factors.
And those who had mastered the real secrets of success and these success factors would tell people that hard work was the key to success.
Because Lynch was singled out by His Excellency the President, he also showed his face. Some people who could not squeeze into His Excellency the President chose to talk to Lynch. Perhaps they would gain some unexpected benefits.
Even if they did not gain anything, they could get familiar with him. Maybe this "acquaintance" would play a role in the future.
In fact, when His Excellency the President mentioned Lynch, these things had already caused a misunderstanding, especially when he called the "isolationism" pursued by the Bailey Federation for six years as "escapism". This had already caused people to extend their thoughts and associate it with Lynch.
This would also make some people think that Lynch might be a very important person, and he might even become a politician when necessary. There were countless examples of businessmen turning into politicians. They were closer to politicians than ordinary people, and there were many similarities between the profession of a businessman and a politician.
For example... no one spoke human language, no one did human things, but everyone looked more like a human than a human, and a decent human.
"Mr. Lynch..."
A well-dressed man took the initiative to stand in front of Lynch. He was the first to speak.
Before Lynch said anything, Sevillera suddenly talked about the bag in the hands of the other party's female companion. The more they talked, the more intimate they became. Naturally, they left Lynch's side and walked around, standing with a group of ladies.
This was the time for men. A qualified female companion knew how to quietly leave the men's side, giving them enough space to talk about something that might be more private.
Although the men here were all well-dressed and courteous, and each of them behaved in accordance with the strictest definition of the word 'gentleman', there were definitely some bastards here.
In order to avoid certain topics that would arouse the dissatisfaction of some ladies, it was best for everyone to chat separately. Sometimes, the extent of women's topics was more terrible than men's.
"My name is …" The man, who didn't have a name in this story, introduced himself. Perhaps he would be interested in spending some money to become the main character of a story after knowing some of the truth, rather than not having a name in other people's stories.
After introducing himself, he began to talk about some of his own views and opinions. "Mr. Lynch, do you think the mistake of 'escapism' will repeat itself in the trend of deepening international cooperation? How long do you think it will take for us to get out of the current predicament?"
No matter how people evaluated and attacked escapism, they could not avoid the somewhat embarrassing fact that the peak period of the Federation's economy and finance was the time when "escapism" was most prevalent.
A few years ago, people used the results of a certain war as a warning and warning to others every day. They used the numbers published in the newspaper to remind neighbors and even strangers on the road how dangerous and terrible international affairs were for our children and our economy.
They were still singing about the benefits of staying away from all this, a higher employment rate, a more comprehensive social security system, and everyone being rich...
Many people who supported the Progressive Party today were also one of the many supporters of the conservative president.
Of course, at that time, they would appear in another place with a different face. Betting on both sides was a common technique used by businessmen, especially those small, medium and micro enterprises and their owners who were not eye-catching enough.
No one cared whether these people's positions were very clear or not. Politicians only cared whether these small and medium businessmen sent political donation checks to their offices on time and in full.
The smiles on the faces of people in the past were so bright that it set off the hatred on the faces of people in the present.
Writers and artists always described the changes between love and hate in a way that was hard to fathom, causing countless young men and women to shed tears for love …
In fact, love and hate were not so complicated. As long as you could get love, you would get hate!
Lynch did not answer this question blindly. He held the wine glass and thought for a while, then began to try to answer it. Of course, the most important thing was to stand on the right political direction.
"The mistake of 'escapism' is that they chose the wrong path from the beginning, but at the same time, they also left us a valuable lesson!"
This sentence was actually tantamount to bullshit because it had no actual content, but it was obviously wrong to say that it was bullshit. At least the content of this sentence catered to the mainstream point of view, it was like a fig leaf.
With such a stable and correct political position as the opening statement, the following words could be a little more relaxed. "Our previous policy was like making a solid fortress. It rejected internal and external communication. Everyone here must be very clear that an independent city that has no communication with other cities is like an island on the sea."
"It may have a short period of glory, but it will soon be defeated because of the closed environment."
"We are afraid of communicating with the outside world. We shirk the international responsibilities we should bear. We think we are doing this to protect ourselves, but in fact, we are wrong."
"Wider international communication, participation in more international affairs, and contact with more countries and forces may indeed make us face challenges and crises that we have never faced before. The huge competitiveness may make us fall behind in the beginning."
"But from another point of view, a harsh competitive environment can stimulate more of our potential."
"Gentlemen, my analogy may not be so appropriate..." He paused and took a small sip of wine. Because he did not deliberately lower his voice when he expressed his opinion, some people around him also gathered around.
Now, he needed to give these people some time and process to accept his ideas, and then instill new content in them.
After a while, Lynch continued, "The birth of the Alpha Wolf has never been decided by the previous Alpha Wolf. Only through cruel competition and killing, and proving that one of the wolves can command the entire pack, will the Alpha Wolf be born."
"This... Sir asked me how long it will take for us to get out of the current predicament. In fact, I don't know any accurate answer. I don't even have a relatively likely guess."
"Because in fact, it doesn't depend on our own naive ideas, but on when we can face the international competition and go against the current!"
"Only by doing this and successfully gaining a foothold in a more complex international society will we have a chance to start the revival of the great Federation!"
These words actually shattered some people's fantasies. Until now, there were still many optimists in this society, and these optimists were even in this room at this moment.
It seemed a little unbelievable, but this was the most interesting and ironic aspect of it!
Outside, people lined up to receive food stamps and relief coupons in order to survive. But here, and in some other places, some people's lives and past did not change at all.
They did not even notice that there was anything wrong with the current situation because they used to eat meat and still ate meat. They used to drink wine and still indulged without restraint today.
Some people found it laughable that once the new president came to power, everything would immediately get better. In fact, this was not the case. Everything could not get better quickly.
From recession to revival, this process would last at least three to five years, not three to five days or three to five months.
Lin Qi's words caused the people around him to fall into a momentary silence. At this moment, a slightly familiar voice sounded from behind him.
"Mr. Lynch, how do you think we should face this new era and this world?"
Lin Qi felt like he had heard this voice somewhere before. Lin Qi turned around. It was a middle-aged man who could be seen everywhere. He was dressed in the same exquisite clothes as the others. His hair was neat and tidy, and his accessories were exquisite. There wasn't much difference between him and the others.
Lynch nodded slightly and said, "War!"
This word instantly pulled people back from their scattered thoughts, making them more or less show some horror on their faces.
In fact, there was a very important reason for the prevalence of isolationism, and that was that the people of the Bailey Federation began to fear death and war at some point in time, especially the ordinary people. Under the influence of some people, it seemed that as long as they were involved in international affairs, they would inevitably start a war.
The Conservative Party very considerately designed a set of isolationist policies for these people and won the election.
Now, it turned out that all of this was wrong. When Lynch said the word "war" again, which people subconsciously wanted to avoid but could not avoid, all of their faces changed. Even the people who were a little further away stopped talking.
All eyes were focused on Lynch, including the president and his staff, the vice chairman of the Progressive Party, and Mr. Vaudric, who was chatting with people.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Lynch. Being stared at by so many important people at the same time, Lynch did not have stage fright. He suddenly felt a little excited. He had experienced this kind of occasion more than once.
He walked to the middle of the crowd and nodded slightly. "Yes, war, but the war I'm going to talk about is completely different from the war you know."
"Because this will be a huge evolution in the issue of war for mankind!"
"A commercial war with economics as the core!"
