Chapter 294

Compromising with the Republican Party is actually a trivial matter.

Although the internal laws of the economy caused the Great Depression, in the eyes of the people, the root cause is the Republican Party and the result of the "liberal economicism" pursued by the Republican Party. The new policy implemented by Loweus saved the economy and benefited most Newland citizens.

According to public opinion, Lofos is not only the savior of the Newland Federation, but also the savior of the entire Western world.

This is also the political capital for Lofos to run for the third time.

No matter how Republican lawmakers criticized Lofos for participating in the third election, and even talked about Lofos' private life, in the eyes of voters, Lofos is a competent president, and centrist voters are still willing to vote for the president who made them live a good life.

What's more, the current international situation also requires the federal authorities to maintain stability.

Even the media that speak for the Republican Party admits that unless a majeure incident occurs, Lofos will definitely win the election for the third time.

All the Republicans need is a few seats in the federal government, or a voice in federal affairs.

These are the things that Lofos gave.

Three months ago, the appointment of Rox, a representative of the Republican hawks, as Secretary of the Navy was the result of achieving political compromise with the Republican Party.

In addition, Lofos also privately assured that after joining the war, Lieutenant General Short, commander of the Forces Army, and General Kimmel, commander of the Forces Fleet, would be removed at the request of the Republican Party. The former was replaced by Mike and the latter was replaced by Niz, and the former was a Republican.

To put it bluntly, I used several key positions to bribe the Republican Party.

The real trouble is with the consortium.

Although at the beginning of the year, Lofos convinced the consortium to allow the "Aid Act" to be passed in the third congressional vote, the need for the Newland Federation to go from "the arms factory in the Western world" to "the spiritual leader of the Western world".

In the words of Lofoss, it is necessary to have a spirit of sacrifice inspired by lofty ideals.

Not only the Newland people need to make sacrifices, but also the consortium that controls the lifeline of the Newland Federation.

The soldiers fought bloody battles on the battlefield, was it because the consortium made great wars in the rear?

According to Lofoss's intention, the consortium must compromise with the federal authorities, at least cooperate unconditionally during the war and obey the leadership of the federal authorities.

Will the consortium agree?

In the past few months, Lofoss' number one job has been to negotiate with major consortiums, or bargain.

In fact, in the more than a month since he came to Shangri-La, Lofos had to have secret talks with representatives of certain consortiums almost every day.

Where to come to escape the summer heat is harder than staying in the Gray Palace to deal with government affairs.

Ultimately, it is due to interests.

Lofoss' attitude was very clear. If he only helped the Kingdom of Bran to fight against the Taurus Empire, it would not matter whether he wanted to mobilize or not.

With the size of the Newland Federation, it can crush the Taman Empire in normal conditions.

But the problem is that to defeat the Liangxia Empire, we must not only mobilize, but also complete the comprehensive mobilization as quickly as possible.

The consortium must give in.

Simply put, the lifeblood of the Newland Federation must be handed over to the federal government, and the federal government will be uniformly allocated to maximize the potential for war.

In the words of Lofoss: Liangxia Empire is an epic monster, and even if the Newland Federation tries its best, it may not be able to win.

If you reserve, participating in the war is equivalent to losing!

The consortium obeys the dispatch of the federal authorities and is within the scope of full-scale war mobilization, and financial activities must also be controlled in wartime.

The truth is easy to understand, and it is impossible for those guys in the consortium to not understand.

However, it is obviously not an easy task to get the consortium to hand over the authority in its hands.

After repeated talks for several months, many results have been achieved.

However, to be honest, what forces the consortium to make concessions is not Lofos's firm attitude, but the deteriorating situation every day.

There is not much time left for Newland Federation!

It is not only the consortium, but also the Lofoss.

During the last secret consultation three days ago, Lofos reached an agreement with the consortium representatives.

The consortium gave up all financial institutions except the Federal Reserve Bank and promised to unconditionally obey the federal government's command during the war, and to provide support to the federal government, and assist the federal government in implementing wartime financial policies through methods including but not limited to issuing currencies.

Lofos promised not to seize ownership of the Federal Reserve Bank with wartime privileges.

The federal government gave up the right to mint this secret agreement.

To be said, "the right to mint coins" is the last issue.

Before this, Lofoss had tried to nationalize the Federal Reserve Bank, that is, to seize the right to mint coins held by private bankers.

The consortium almost gave up all its industries, but was still unwilling to give up its right to mint coins.

Both parties know the great relationship.

Although the consortium is lush and directly and indirectly controls thousands of enterprises, and mainly heavy industries such as steel, ships and arms, it is equivalent to controlling the national lifeline of the Newland Federation. However, fundamentally speaking, the foundation of the consortium is hundreds of banks connected by the Federal Reserve Bank.

Here, the right to mint coins is the core of the core. It can be said that with the right to mint coins, everything is there.

Of course, the right to mint these banks together, creating this money monster that can surpass the Federation.

The key is that this money monster does not have national attributes, so it will not put national interests first.

To it, the state is nothing more than a tool to obtain and protect interests.

When he moved into the Gray Palace, Rofoss was competing with the consortium for the right to mint coins since the implementation of the new policy.

Of course, Lofoss's fight for the right to mint coins is not only to implement the new policy, but to fundamentally eradicate the consortium and establish an unprecedented federal government.

Simply put, it is to increase the intensity of centralization.

It can be seen that the dispute over the right to mint itself is a life-and-death battle between the federal government and private consortiums, so even in wartime, the consortium will not compromise.

As mentioned earlier, the consortium has no concept of a country.

Don’t forget that these consortiums in the Newland Federation come from the Western Continent, and the most representative of them is the "Sons of the Rose" family from the Kingdom of Bran.

When we were able to abandon the Kingdom of Bran and come to the Newland Federation, why can't we abandon the Kingdom of Newland and go to other countries now?

If they really break up, these guys will never show mercy when they turn their guns against Newland Federation.

During the Great Depression, in order to protect their own interests, these families did not think of their old love when they plundered old empires such as the Kingdom of Bran.

It was only after Lofos realized this that he made concessions.

This secret agreement was actually a compromise made by Lofos.

During the war, the consortium guaranteed to allow the right to mint the war, and Lofoss admitted in disguise the result of the privatization of the right to mint the right to mint.

At that time, Lofos mentioned to Hale: The hidden danger laid on compromise is a time bomb, which will shatter the Newland Federation after detonation.

With compromise, today's meeting was created.

Since the main issues have been negotiated, the meeting was only given a clear conclusion, so there was nothing to discuss.

To be honest, it means re-emphasizing the importance of joining the war as soon as possible, clarifying several major time nodes, and the main work of all parties.

Even so, it is a troublesome.
