So people are very simple, like the general’s grandson. When that little guy looks over, His Excellency the General knows what he wants to do.
But there are also so people whose thoughts are hard to guess, like Lynch.
If his thoughts were that easy to predict, perhaps there would be no him and his Darkstone Capital now.
The general has no idea what Lynch is thinking.
He shook his head, giving up on making things difficult for himself. The deanor of a soldier unconsciously influences him, making him a bit different from ordinary politicians or capitalists.
He would later hide his thoughts, but most of the ti, he tends to express them, "You didn’t co to see just to make an old man happy!"
Lynch’s expression was serious. He knew that when dealing with older won, he had to let them see his youthful, innocent side.
This can best stimulate a woman’s innate maternal instincts, even if so things are slightly excessive, they wouldn’t find any issue with them.
After all, it’s just a small part of the growing process. You can’t deny everything about a boy just because he makes mistakes while growing up.
When dealing with young girls, show maturity. The sense of security is a mysterious thing, as they are both eager and a bit fearful of the unknown world.
For peers or slightly younger n, let them understand what power is, so they behave honestly and won’t easily make wrong decisions.
Because they know very well that the cost of mistakes is sothing they can’t bear, at least not until they can pay for such mistakes.
For older people, they need to see one’s capabilities.
Especially those middle-aged or elderly who have experienced many things, they are gradually breaking free from societal stereotypes. When communicating with soone, they are not easily swayed by certain external factors to refuse communication.
They can at least see a bit of essence, so they need sothing real, not sothing fake.
Reports often say that certain tycoons or politicians can even converse with holess people without barriers, which amazes many.
It’s not surprising at all, because in their eyes, apart from themselves and those above them, everyone else is about the sa.
Holess, minor politicians, minor millionaires, they’re all about the sa.
So, one must demonstrate their capability to be seen higher.
"I have an aircraft research institute..." Lynch started to talk.
In fact, the general knew about this, he even knew what had happened not too long ago, but he did not interrupt Lynch and patiently listened to him.
The effect of different people expressing the sa matter is completely different. He needed to hear Lynch’s take to see if there were differences from what he knew.
After Lynch finished talking about what happened in the morning, the general pondered for a mont, "What are you trying to express?"
The smile on Lynch’s face gradually spread wide, almost grinning from ear to ear, "I’m planning to do so business with the Navy, Army, and Ministry of Defense."
The general shook his head, "You should talk to the dedicated person handling these matters, I am just an old man confined at ho, lost my freedom. I can’t help you with anything."
"I don’t need your direct help, I just hope that when it’s necessary, you can stand by my side and speak out for ."
The general was about to refuse as such an explicit stance might trigger a series of unforeseen consequences, but Lynch didn’t give him the opportunity.
"Listen to what I am going to do first, and then decide, okay?"
The general agreed with this point, he closed his mouth and listened quietly.
"To be frank, I am confident that within five years, my aircraft can make a round trip of over a thousand, even two thousand kiloters."
"But the world is so large, we can’t populate the skies worldwide with our planes, so I have an idea."
"Currently, during peaceful tis, we should expand our military bases as much as possible, whether for the Navy, Army, or future aircraft."
"Once war breaks out in the future, which will inevitably happen, our combat power can instantly spread across the world!"
Lynch spoke passionately, as if a new world war were about to erupt tomorrow and his aircraft could reach any corner of the world at any mont.
After listening, the general was slightly moved, he furrowed his brow, "What you said is very exciting, Lynch, but I’m not sure if it’s necessary."
"I’ve heard that airplanes can only carry two or three people to a place a few hundred kiloters away and then fly back."
"Its attack thods are limited, and there are stringent requirents for take-off and landing. Can it really bring any new changes to us in warfare?"
While contemplating, the general asked, "For example, your ’decapitation strategy,’ is it really effective?"
"It’s not that I’m not optimistic about this thing, it’s just...," he shook his head, "we’ve had experience dealing with things flying in the sky."
"Quickly ascending observation balloons, even so airships not used in actual warfare, I don’t think these things will change the pattern of war like submarines."
Such foresight transcending the era is not sothing everyone possesses. As of now, almost no country’s research on airplanes has begun.
Instead, they’ve concentrated their energy more on balloons and airships, the forr being cheap and practical, while the latter can carry more but flies slowly and poses issues.
Compared to these two items, airplanes indeed seem less advantageous.
Lynch, however, didn’t give up and wasn’t discouraged. He asked, "General, if one day a plane can carry dozens of tons of stuff thousands of kiloters away, do you still think it has no strategic value?"
"A hundred years ago, people’s dreams of flying stopped at pioneers who broke their legs. Besides looking like they were flying when jumping off heights, they spent most of their ti running on the ground."
"Twenty years ago, the first glider capable of gliding appeared, changing humanity’s struggle with the sky. At least humans could fly briefly."
"Ten years ago, people first tried putting engines on these aircraft, and finally took off from flat ground, challenging the sky!"
"Now, not only can we fly long distances, but more importantly, we’ve equipped airplanes with attack capabilities."
"General, the pace of the era will only accelerate, three years from now, five years from now, ten years from now, none of us knows what will happen."
"But one thing I can be sure of is that airplanes will fly farther, have more powerful firepower, carry more load, and beco crucial battlefield weaponry, even surpassing battleships in status."
"Spending money on the present will always lag behind tis. Only investing in the future ahead can bring glory!"
"General, this is not about making business for myself or earning money for ; it’s for the Federation’s rise!"
In the solemn tone of Lynch was an exhilarating power as he looked at the general, "You will never regret this investnt!"
The general was almost convinced!
Or he might have already been persuaded, the past, present, future, the "Aire Belt" poster at the station outside hasn’t completely faded, everything from yesterday seed just in front of his eyes.
In his youth, he never thought he’d live in such a "sci-fi" world where people could see interesting pictures through a small box.
But now, everything is possible!
He hesitated, with a tone filled with confusion and uncertainty, perhaps a vague feeling towards the future, "I’m not sure if it’s like that, it sounds significant."
Lynch sipped his drink with a dry mouth, and through lowering his head, he diffused the aggressiveness he displayed to persuade the general.
After two or three seconds, he placed the glass back on the coffee table, "General, we will deliver so aircraft to the military in batches later on. You might want to pay slight attention then."
"I believe facts will prove to that airplanes are the inevitable direction of future war developnt!"
Lynch didn’t stay long afterward, as he wasn’t familiar with the general. Staying after he finished saying what had to be said might irritate, better to leave early.
This also gave the general so ti to discuss Lynch’s ideas and the trend of future warfare with others.
After leaving the general’s house, Lynch called Legislator Landon, who happened to be just back from a business trip.
The work of the Environntal Committee is quite tedious, although skipping it is possible, but no pay will be received without doing it.
Spring is approaching, and spring sowing is also crucial in the Federation, with localities using this important ti to report factories that damage the environnt.
Normally there is no care, but failing to address it during spring sowing might turn into a political issue.
Legislator Landon frequently has to investigate places, which is just what Representatives do.
Those Senators aren’t as busy, or they have different matters to attend to.
They consider who to dine with and where all day, check if the Foundation from their held shares has issued dividends recently, and see if the family’s business has made money again.
As for other matters?
Those are minor issues, entirely solvable through other ans, say political thods.
After eting at the agreed restaurant, both exchanged a few unsubstantial words to break the ice.
When most of the dishes were served, Lynch said, "I have a project that needs to be approved, I will need to pull so strings, and you have to help ."
