A Great One with a Backhand-Extra 411

Actually, there was another very important factor in the correspondence between the President and Gefra Emperor that Lin Qi didn't mention, but everyone is well aware of it.

This unmentioned factor is actually more crucial: the sudden change of course towards the Amelia Region, where the Federal fleet is now approaching the waters Amelia Region.

This part of the fleet posed a far greater threat to the stability and security of the Amelia Region, and to the remaining two battleships of the Gefra First Fleet, than any other political means or factor.

If the two sides fail to reach an agreement, the Federal will continue to pursue and intercept Gefra's fleet under the pretext of bandit suppression. Once they are driven out of the Amelia Region, the rule of the Amelia Region will be completely shaken.

External interference would embolden local Resistance Organization and give them a greater sense of identity. If the rulers remained isolated and helpless, the interests of the Gefra overseas would be severely damaged, and their very foundation would be shaken.

Therefore, the Emperor of Gefra would agree to properly resolve these disputes no matter what. Naturally, as a basis for affirming the cooperation between the two sides, the Federal fleet discovered when it was wiping out the forces involved in Preton that the remaining forces of the Preton pirates had fled in panic to the Nagaril region after bypassing the outer sea of Amelia Region, and the fleet left with them.

Although it was a despicable act, the president and other Cabinet Member all showed some smiles.

So be it, it's better than being humiliated!

"Mr. Lin Qi, your form..."

In an office at the Federal Department of Defense, a young girl handed Lin Qi a form, her eyes filled with curiosity and inquiry. This young man, so young that he inspired envy, represented a phenomenon.

Everyone wanted to get close to him and see if they could discover some secrets to his success.

He seems to never fail; no matter what business he's in, he always does it to the best of his ability, which is what makes him the most enviable and jealous person.

Even today, with the economy still sluggish and the financial sector still depressed, Lin Qi is still making a fortune.

There are no secrets in Congress, and there are no secrets in Bu Peien's Financial Center.

Following a series of events today, the franc suffered a severe blow in the foreign exchange market, plummeting by 7%, the largest single-day drop in history, and may continue to fall in the coming period.

Not long ago, Lin Qi had been making pronouncements at some financial salons that Gefra was doomed to fail and that the stock price of Geoffrey would inevitably plummet. At the time, some people thought this statement was very irrational.

Even if what he said is true, Gefra does indeed have three reasons for its inevitable defeat, the problem is, who will be the challenger to defeat it? No one will be willing to step forward as a challenger to fight Gefra for no reason, and as long as no one challenges Gefra, Gefra will not plummet.

But who could have imagined that in less than a month, the Federal Navy, while cracking down on piracy on the high seas, would seemingly wipe out Gefra's fleet, causing Gefra's stock to plummet instantly.

No one knows how much money Lin Qi made in the foreign exchange market, but everyone knows he is very rich.

He succeeds at everything he does; he has discovered the secret to his continued success—it's attraction!

Of course, it is said that Lin Qi does not have a girlfriend or get married. The female employee in the office suddenly felt that her outfit today was a bit conservative and not enthusiastic enough. She was a little annoyed and thought that maybe she should change her style of dress.

Lin Qi was unaware that a seemingly insignificant matter, which had absolutely nothing to do with him, had changed some people and led to certain events.

"Thank you!" Lin Qi said, took the form, looked it over carefully, and then took out his custom-made pen to fill it out.

After seeing off the incredibly curious Mr. Truman, he made a detour to the Department of Defense.

According to the Bayer Federation National Defense Law, the establishment of Private Armed Force companies within the territory requires registration and is subject to strict supervision, as Private Armed Force are likely to pose a huge threat to social security.

These kinds of company licenses are very difficult to obtain. Local ones are a little easier to get; as long as you have connections in the state, you can still get one. There are some local armed companies in various places.

These Private Armed Force companies have very limited operating scopes; some may operate only in a city or state. If they want to continue operating outside their designated scope, they must register with the Department of Defense.

To date, the Department of Defense has approved only seven armed companies, four of which have been deregistered at different times.

Compared to the difficulty of registering such a company and the intensity of Department of Department of Defense oversight, hiring employees and equipping them with weapons is far less liberating than hiring military-trained employees and allowing them to carry private weapons to work.

After all, it's Federal, and owning a gun is a right. This is also the current practice of mainstream armed companies. It's obviously not illegal, but it's not legal either. However, the operating costs and difficulties are much lower.

The former is subject to too many constraints, and it becomes extremely troublesome once something goes wrong. However, the latter is much simpler. If something goes wrong, it is a private matter for the employee. Even if the company is involved, it will only be the result of a certain company's management "instructing" without authorization, and ultimately it has nothing to do with the company.

Therefore, most people would not form a militarized armed company with a Department of Department of Defense license, but instead hire employees with gun licenses to set up a security consulting firm.

But Lin Qi's purpose in coming here this time was to register an armed company, or rather, to officially elevate his Blackstone Security Company into a non-governmental Private Armed Force enterprise.

The purpose of this was not because he was bored; it was because he needed to have a registration certificate from the Department of Defense to undertake military outsourcing projects, including foreign military operations, all of which required the approval of the Ministry of Department of Defense.

In other words, this registration is a threshold, a key.

Previously, the Federal did not have much contact with the International Community. Further back, due to technological limitations and inconvenient transportation, there was little contact between countries around the world, so there were no military operations abroad.

This also explains why domestic Private Armed Force forces are unwilling to be constantly monitored by the Department of Defense, thus creating loopholes in the process.

But things are different now. Traveling around the world has become more convenient, and the Federal has also begun to engage in international affairs, creating more opportunities.

Lin Qi's subsequent overseas expansion was inseparable from the protection of military forces, especially his business in the Nagaril region.

Even if Nagaril and the Federal form an alliance and establish diplomatic relations, it would be inconvenient for the Federal to directly send troops to interfere in Nagaril's internal affairs. This is not something a "benevolent" major power should do, nor does it align with the Federal's current efforts to cultivate its national image.

The simplest way to ensure your interests are not attacked by local radical civilian groups is to set up a legitimate Private Armed Force company.

With approval from the Ministry of Department of Defense and then from the Central Government of Nagaril, Lin Qi could establish a lawless zone in Nagaril in a way that would not be explicitly stated in the law.

Once the warning signs are up and the "private military restricted area" sign is placed, no one can interfere with whether someone who enters lives or dies.

In addition, Lin Qi also set his sights on the other side— the Amelia Region.

In the naval battle, Gefra lost not only its fleet but also its sense of security. With the Federal releasing numerous parameters, research on submarines and torpedoes will flourish in various countries in the coming period.

The construction cost and timeframe for these things are much simpler than those for battleships, which often take four or five years and require the coordination of dozens of cutting-edge achievements from different fields.

In terms of both construction cycle and construction cost, the Federal has provided the world with a completely new way to control battleships.

Battleships are no longer safe, and Gefra has offended so many countries. Until they find a way to counter submarines and new torpedoes, they are unlikely to allow their fleet to appear on the sea on a large scale again, but will instead choose to hold their ground in a certain region.

Given their concerns about the Federal's "erratic" behavior, there's a high probability they'll deploy their fleet in the coastal waters near their homeland.

In fact, from the current perspective, their decision to station the remaining fleet in the port on the Eberil Strait was not only to reassure people that their fleet had not suffered a devastating blow, but also to protect their fleet.

If you get sniped at sea, who knows who did it? If some Small Country make a technological breakthrough, they might retaliate by building submarines, or it could simply be the Federal's doing. As long as you can't find evidence, they won't admit it, and in the end, you'll only suffer a loss.

If Gefra's warships are unable to project power in the waters near Amelia Region, the stability of the Amelia Region will always be a problem, and that's when they will need someone to help them.

So who is their best partner? The Federal is the obvious choice. The Federal has a powerful navy, an army whose strength is unknown to others, and also has a geographical advantage.

But the Federal certainly wouldn't do that; doing so would only damage Federal international image. They would become partners of tyrants rather than warriors leading the oppressed against tyranny.

However, civilian forces can take over. For example, there is a Private Armed Force force called Blackstone Security. They are registered with the Federal Department of Defense and are a legal armed company that can accept outsourcing of any military operations, including appeasement and repression.

This way, Lin Qi could fully mobilize some of the resources at his disposal, such as the list of Resistance Organization in the Amelia Region that he possessed, or the accounts of certain Resistance Organization...

In short, establishing such a company is imperative.
