1211 Different Purposes, Different Responsibilities
After coming out of the conference room, Lynch got into Mr. Wardrick's car. He also participated in the meeting and did not speak during the entire meeting because he was not needed.
When he arrived in a relatively private and safe space, he asked, "Do you think they are difficult to deal with?"
Lynch nodded, "It's difficult."
"What's the difficulty?" Mr. Wardrick was very curious. "More elite weapons, or any outstanding tactics, or is there anything special about it?"
Lynch gave an unexpected answer very directly, "Spirit!"
"I have also read a lot of books about the Pengeo Empire in the past two days. When many authors write the contents of these books, they always bring the Pengeo Empire into the world without even knowing it clearly. into an evil image.”
"They are too aggressive. This is the most terrifying thing about them. From the ruler of the empire to a certain citizen on the road, each of them can get what they want from the war."
"Wealth, status, power, when the whole society is addicted to war, you can't imagine how destructive they are."
Lynch raised his finger and said, "I mean destructive to their enemies!"
"They will tear apart everything in front of them, because the chains that hold them back in peacetime will loosen in time of war."
"As long as they kill those enemies, they will get benefits that they can never get in ordinary times!"
"Everyone will be crazy and crazy to kill the enemy. This is something we don't have."
"So our opponent will be very troublesome!"
Mr. Wardrick seemed to understand but not understand, "We have some new tanks, maybe you can use them..."
Lynch couldn't help laughing, "You have to talk to the Ministry of Defense. You know, personally, I don't plan to use too many tanks in this friction."
"You know the climate over there in Nagaril is hot, and there are too many virgin forests. It is impossible for me to open a path in the virgin forest for the advancement of these chariots, unless someone pays me to do that!"
Mr. Wardrick frowned, "So it seems they won't be needed in this conflict?"
Lynch nodded in agreement, "So I suggest you convince the Ministry of Defense. Maybe they want to see the power of these things and buy some for us to try. Who knows?"
"Well, it looks like my pitch failed.", he looked a little frustrated, and just looked, "Ask the question we all care about, can we win this time?"
Lynch's answer was less certain, "It's hard to say, after all, we haven't had a head-on collision."
"By the way, send me to the Ministry of National Defense. I have a meeting there..."
The car stopped at the entrance of the Ministry of Defense after half a circle in Bupen. After getting out of the car, Lynch sighed and turned around and walked towards the Ministry of Defense.
An officer saw him and took the initiative to greet him, "Mr. Lynch, you are finally here. I am waiting for you."
Lynch smiled and expressed his apology for being late. Under the leadership of military officers, he entered the Strategic Command of the Ministry of National Defense.
Here, the Department of Defense conducts research and command on all federal occupations. From its birth to the present, it has unfortunately not been used once.
Including the naval battle against Gaevra, the Vice Admiral directly cut off contact with the Ministry of Defense during the war, otherwise they might not have sunk those warships that had surrendered.
This can barely be counted as half a time, but the amount of money the Ministry of National Defense invests here every year is not small at all.
Various exercises and the like, in short, this place is also a funding hole.
"You're late!" As soon as he entered the conference room, a lieutenant general scolded Lynch for being late for such an important meeting.
Lynch didn't care. He found his seat and sat down and said, "I just discussed with the people from the United Development Company the feasibility of establishing a defensive front in the east of Nagaril, so I came late."
This explanation was a bit forced, but it magically made the Lieutenant General of the Ministry of Defense change his mind. He asked, "What's the result?"
"We are trying to deploy at least 10,000 troops and equip them with advanced military equipment, but the situation is still not optimistic. You know, our opponents are very difficult."
The lieutenant general also nodded, "This is also what we are considering. It is not easy for us to directly collide with them, so when I discussed it with my colleagues just now, I had an idea."
He looked at Lin Qi and observed Lin Qi's expression, "Let Blackstone safely go to the front line. Everyone can see your achievements in the north. They are very good. They are no worse than professional soldiers."
"If the friction between the two sides starts with the Federal Army versus the Pentjeo Army, it is very likely that the friction will escalate quickly. We all have reasons why we cannot lose."
"But...", he smiled, "...so you should understand what I mean, right?"
Of course Lynch understands that the Army has reasons why it cannot lose, but Blackstone Security can!
The navy has defeated the world's largest naval power. If the army loses, the army will never be able to hold its head high in front of the navy.
In fact, it's not just such a small loss. If it's just such a small problem, they won't care too much.
The federal military also uses the budget system to apply for military expenditures. The navy performed very well. They immediately launched various major projects. Congress did not even block it. They only made symbolic inquiries and expressed fairness and justice before passing it. of the Navy's budget.
If the Army's performance is very poor, for example, they are not a match for Pengeo's Army at all, then it will be difficult for them to maintain the current budget without declaring budgets for some major projects.
After all, the men in Congress are responsible for taxpayers' money, aren't they?
Spending so much money every year raises a bunch of waste. Taxpayers will not agree. Budget cuts and disarmament are bound to happen.
For the future of the Army and the future of Army officers, the Federal Army cannot lose!
Although the Army has no impressive results so far, they are very proud and believe that the Army is also the best in the world.
It wasn't until the northern problem arose and they were struggling so hard in the battle with the warlords that the Federal Army realized that they were indeed number one in the world just by thinking.
But there is no one in this world who can fight with you based on your imagination, it’s true!
Moreover, Blackstone Security's current small-scale combat force is obviously stronger than the army that has no war experience. Let Blackstone Security go to the front line to confront the Penjiao people. At least they can find out the true strength of Penjiao's army!
If they are strong, then there are some sure-fire ways to deal with them, such as building a solid line of defense or political compromise outside of war.
After all, it was not the Federal Army that lost, and there was still room for redemption.
Blackstone Security can fail, but the Federation Army cannot.
If they are weak, so much the better, they can't even defeat the irregulars. There is no doubt that the Federal Army once again won a great victory!
With the arrival of Lynch, the content of the conversation began to sway toward Lynch.
Lin Qi also knew the relationship here, and he nodded, "I understand."
"What was the budget you just shared with the Joint Development Company?", the Lieutenant General asked.
But Lynch didn't answer, "It's meaningless to use the budget I gave them as a reference..." Everyone looked at him, some frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Lynch's statement. .
They thought Lynch was going to raise the price, and the lieutenant general also frowned, "Why do you say that?"
"Because the price I offered them was based on ensuring that the interests of the United Development Company would not be seriously damaged. I could allow them to enter Nagaril and avoid a head-on war with them."
"Anyway, our goal is to prevent them from occupying Nagaril in the end. It's that simple."
Everyone nodded, they could understand these contents, and for those capitalists, it didn't matter even if the local area was destroyed, as long as the population was there and the resources were there, everything else was not a problem.
They can even take advantage of this opportunity to scalp them again.
Lynch spread his hands, "But the Ministry of National Defense, this is not what you need. You need me to test out the true power of the Pengeo people, so I must go head-to-head with them."
"If I put them into the hinterland of Nagaril, the losses they cause will eventually be attributed to the incompetence of the army. I say this, do you understand?"
"The people do not hope that if one day the war breaks out on federal soil, the Army will not be able to shoulder the responsibility of wiping out the enemy on the front line!"
“If Blackstone Security goes head-to-head with these people, we must be more fully prepared, including that the number of aircraft dispatches may be pushed to more than 5,000 times!”
"This is currently the most likely way for us to cause serious battle damage to Pengeo's army. Every flight is dangerous, and there is also the consumption of bombs. These are all money!"
What Lynch said made Lieutenant General feel... He seemed to be right. If we didn't adopt a head-on confrontation, wouldn't it be impossible to figure out the true combat effectiveness of the Pengeo Imperial Army?
If there is a head-on confrontation, the cost will naturally increase.
"...Including but not limited to the fact that we will build some fortifications, forts, bunkers, and trenches in areas where the opponent may attack. These are not included in the plan I gave to the United Development Company."
"In addition to these, I also need to hire more workers to do these things, which is also a huge expense. After all, in addition to their salary, they also have to eat..."
The lieutenant general felt a little pain in his head after hearing this. Most generals are responsible for strategic work, such as where to attack first and what effect it will have on the opponent.
They will not be responsible for specific details. What Lynch said gave the generals here a headache. They did not want to know how the workers dug trenches.
The only thing they want to know is how much money Lynch will prescribe to them?
