"Mr. Chairman..."
It was a shareholder of the Group Company speaking. In truth, there were no idle spectators at today's board meeting.
Everyone capable of attending this meeting had been filtered through continuous selection.
Those who could adapt to harsh environments and survive were the true capitalist titans, and these were the ones Lin Qi wanted.
In fact, struggles existed even among these shareholders, as each hoped to extract more shares from others; the weak had already been eliminated, leaving only the formidable.
Only when the formidable united with the formidable could they create a mighty dynasty.
As Chairman of the Board, being addressed as "Mr. Chairman" by Lin Qi was by no means an incorrect title.
Lin Qi nodded slightly to indicate that he was ready to listen, and the shareholder next brought up some matters Lin Qi had not noticed.
"Peng Joe is starting large-scale conscription. According to some observers and news we obtained from Peng Joe and its allies, they are all currently conducting it, or at least have plans for conscription."
"The Department of Defense Strategic Command believes they are actively preparing for war. It will take them about six to twelve months to complete the entire conscription process."
"Then comes about one to two years of training, followed by strategic deployment. In roughly three years, the Second War is very likely to break out."
Everyone's expression was grave. Although everyone had prepared themselves for the possibility of a Second World War, no one truly hoped it would arrive this early.
Three years from now, it would be close to a decade since the end of the First World War, and the gaps that needed patching had already been mended.
As for what could not be patched, continuing to wait would only make the gap wider
