Gefra Is Destined to Fall! Extra Chapter for Alliance Leader "YellowTail" 22

"Mr. Lin Qi, could you tell me why?"

When Lin Qi suggested that the franc might suffer a major setback in the foreign exchange market, questions quickly arose.

The desire to find answers to these questions is not necessarily to better agree with Lin Qi, but more likely to refute his results using Lin Qi's viewpoints, proving that his views are wrong.

These situations are actually quite normal. Everyone has the right to express their own thoughts, which is a fundamental right granted to every citizen by the Federal Charter, and even the President cannot take it away.

Some people are optimistic, while others are pessimistic, so let's have a debate, which is precisely the value of the salon.

Lin Qi looked at the man who had raised the question. He was a gentleman in his forties, dressed very elegantly. Most of the gentlemen in the room were dressed very well, unlike the people outside who couldn't even fill their stomachs.

He nodded, which meant he agreed to the other party's request and was also a kind of impolite greeting. This laid a good foundation for the two parties to not become enemies, even if they could not become friends.

"Why do I hold this view? It's actually quite simple, for three reasons!"

He stood in the middle of the room, holding up one finger. The room was so quiet there wasn't a sound. "First, political confrontation!"

"Gefra's hegemony is influencing the entire world. We only see its ever-growing power, but we overlook the fact that not everyone is firmly on its side. For example, there are those hostile forces that are already at odds with it, such as..."

Lin Qi smiled slightly, "... its allies!"

"Gentlemen, there can only be one superpower in this world. For a country to become a superpower, it must possess certain important elements, such as politics, military, economy, culture, and uniqueness!"

"If every country were the same, there would be no distinction between strong and weak. But there are no two countries in the world that are exactly the same in strength or weakness, let alone the whole world."

"The stronger Gefra becomes, the weaker other countries become. Its strength is built on attacking or deterring other countries through a series of means, including politics, military, economy, and culture."

"Neither the defeated, nor we, nor its allies, would want to see a superpower that far surpasses all others emerge and become the ruler of this world."

"We don't need rulers, so Gefra has effectively put himself in opposition to everyone!"

He spoke quickly, but his pronunciation was clear. He didn't try to sound profound by using obscure words to elevate his status, unlike some experts and scholars who always throw out one obscure word after another to highlight their knowledge.

Lin Qi did not. Every word he said was so simple and easy to understand. Everyone in the room, whether they were scholars, experts, or other capitalists, understood what he was saying and its true meaning.

At the same time, I also became interested in the term "superpower".

As Lin Qi said, no one wants a superpower that is significantly stronger than others in every aspect, as this would be a disruption to the world's free order. Therefore, opposing Gefra's rise to superpower status seems less unacceptable.

Some scholars and experts also began to discuss it quietly. In fact, no matter what they say or how they discuss it, the best Gefra is Gefra that is similar to the Federal. If it is too strong, it will only do harm to the Federal and no good.

This ensures that if Lin Qi's "ifs" are based on actual development trends, then at least the Federal will definitely stand against Gefra.

After a not-so-brief buzz of discussion, someone wanted to ask a question, but Lin Qi refused, "Let me finish explaining those three points first!"

He paused as he spoke, and the murmurs in the room gradually subsided before he asked, "So, may I proceed with my second point?"

"Of course, Mr. Lin Qi!"

"I eagerly await your explanation, Mr. Lin Qi!"

He slowly extended two fingers. "Second point, geographical dilemma (Appendix: 1)."

"The powerful Royal Navy of Gefra has shown us all through this world war that they have an extremely long-range transoceanic strike capability, but gentlemen, we cannot only focus on Gefra's shining points; we must also see its weaknesses!"

"Compared to their excellent navy, Gefra's Royal Army..." Lin Qi had a strange expression on his face, as if he was both disappointed and amused, but more amused. He shook his head and said in a slightly teasing tone, "... compared to their navy, Gefra's army is a joke!"

"Most of their achievements were accomplished with the cooperation of the navy. Even during the entire ten-year war, they did not completely conquer any country, nor did they launch or win any war of annihilation."

"Given that Gefra's territory is small and their potential is extremely limited, if war breaks out again, with little difference in military technology, the depth of the land war and the total number of soldiers involved will determine the duration and final outcome of the war."

"Why Gefra attach so much importance to the Amelia Region?" The room was quieter than before, and many people even held their breath. They might understand some things, or they might not understand them at all, but there would always be someone with experience who would tell them that what Lin Qi said was not without reason.

No one interrupted the question posed again. Pairs of eyes eager for knowledge looked at Lin Qi. Lin Qi looked around and said, "Because they have actually realized the crisis they are facing earlier than others. Once a considerable number of naval forces blockade the mainland of Gefra, it may not even take half a year before Gefra is completely destroyed."

"They have no strategic depth, no room for prolonged resistance. Once a military force capable of confronting them launches a direct attack on their homeland, Gefra will have no way out and no way to survive."

"Gefra's current land area is insufficient to support their path to becoming a superpower, nor is it sufficient to support their ambitions."

"Thank you!" A waiter brought him a drink while Lin Qi paused to speak. He smiled and thanked the waiter for his kindness. The waiter seemed to be infected by Lin Qi's smile, and a smile naturally appeared on his face as well.

Lin Qi took a few sips, put the glass back on the tray, and thanked the waiter again for his kindness.

He held up three fingers. "Thirdly, Li Ya!"

"Given the two points mentioned above, the political dilemma and the geographical dilemma, if Gefra wants to realize their superpower dream, they must get rid of these two huge troubles, which is the main reason why they are putting all their efforts into developing the Amelia Region."

"I heard that Gefra Emperor almost got into a fight with his ministers in the Ruler's Hall in order to divert all resources to Li Ya, and their purpose in doing so was obvious."

"They wanted to fill the gaps, and once their rule in the Amelia Region was fully consolidated, Gefra proved that this territory far from their homeland had the potential for development, then they would break free from the predicament caused by geographical factors."

"They can expand Gefra's strategic depth simply by conquering one territory after another in the world, even if they are not connected."

"They can send troops from any location at any time to attack any country they consider hostile, and war will never happen on their territory."

"Even if someone attacks their territory, they can easily relocate in advance."

"Therefore, the Amelia Region is of paramount importance to Gefra, as it will determine the future world order."

"But!" That one "but" brought everyone back to their senses. They continued to stare at Lin Qi, Lin Qi wore a confident smile. "But the Amelia Region won't be that stable."

"From the beginning until now, a year has passed, and in this year, countless Resistance Organization of all sizes have emerged in the Amelia Region."

"This also proves that Gefra does not yet have 'rule' over the Amelia Region, and the people of Amelia Region do not recognize the current Gefra government."

"As soon as large-scale unrest occurs in this region, it will immediately shake the foundations of Gefra, and Gefra will inevitably experience a huge decline!"

"My judgment on the future trend of Fra is based on the above three points. Of course, these are just my own opinions. If anyone has different views on these points, we can discuss them."

After his initial arrogance, Lin Qi became humble. He stepped aside, giving up the most central position, and asked, "Does anyone else have anything to say?"

Of course not. People's eyes were still on Lin Qi, and some even stood up to follow him, whispering their questions around him.

Following Lin Qi's remarks, the opinions of those in the room, including the economists, shifted. It seemed... Lin Qi's words made a lot of sense! As the salon concluded, Lin Qi's "three points" began to spread rapidly. People were circulating his words from the salon, to the point that his discussion of the future trend of Geoffrey in the foreign exchange market became "Three Arguments for Gefra's Inevitable Defeat," and was even mentioned and discussed on some television programs.

This may not have been Lin Qi's original intention, but the current outcome does not contradict Lin Qi's requirements, and may even be better.

As he said, no one wants a powerful Gefra. If the world is destined to have a superpower, then why not ourselves? =Attachment: 1 (Map 1 (loding)) The map is currently being hand-drawn and will be available in a couple of days, after all, it's hand-drawn by the author.
