1504 National Security Is Above All Else!

"I think we need to follow up on this issue..."

The person who spoke was the Air Force Lieutenant General, the first Lieutenant General after the formation of the Federal Air Force.

The Navy wanted to turn the Air Force into a part of the Navy, and the Army thought the same way. The two sides quarreled back and forth, and finally an Air Force was created.

But this matter is not just as simple as dividing the federal army into three armies: sea, land and air force, but has become more complicated.

For example, there are road-based air forces and sea-based air forces, which are air forces affiliated with the army and air forces affiliated with the navy.

Similarly, the Air Force also has its own ground combat troops, namely the Airborne Corps.

Of course, they don't have a space-based navy yet, but they may have one in the future. With the development of large transport aircraft, maybe there will be one... maybe!

Only part of the aircraft ordered from Lynch this time reached the Air Force, and the reason is very good.

First of all, the Midway Plan is a military plan belonging to the Navy. There is no reason to suddenly transfer it to the newly established Air Force, which even has an imperfect framework. So, is it okay to hand over at least one-third to half of these aircraft to the Air Force?

Then the army also needs a part, and the deployment of the northern defense line also requires aircraft early warning and attack, not to mention that the military is now promoting the integrated land, sea and air strategic advancement model.

Then there are not so many aircraft left for the Air Force, just a few hundred.

Although there are planes from other airlines here, such as Lanying's bombers and transport planes, these are only a minority after all.

Blackstone Aviation and their flight research institute have proven that they are experts in aircraft, so the military is unlikely to waste a lot of money on Lan Ying.

Unless they can catch up with Blackstone Aviation's aircraft in technology and performance, the military is unlikely to continue to increase orders from Lanying.

After all, the war is coming, and all aircraft will be flown by soldiers on the battlefield. At this time, buying some aircraft that are not so advanced, or not advanced enough, is a waste of the wealth paid by federal taxpayers.

It is also harmful to those soldiers who are loyal to the country and willing to go to the battlefield for the country!

Lan Ying is also very aware of this. They have completely given up research on fighter jets, and have instead increased their research efforts on bombers and transport aircraft, which have already achieved some results...

Try to avoid the core competitiveness of Blackstone Airlines and find some profit points from the side.

All in all, the air force does not have as many aircraft in service as the army and navy. So this is a bit outrageous, right?

So next, will the Air Force be able to add some types of aircraft?

When faced with these choices, if you don't stand up and advocate for your own interests, no one else will speak for you.

Everyone is looking at the budget. If you have more, others will have less.

Mr. President was stunned for a moment, then he became vaguely aware. He glanced at the Air Force Lieutenant General and nodded, "Give me a detailed written report when you have the results."

He plans to help in this regard. Mr. President knows very well that he cannot escape. After some of the current things cool down, his things will still be mentioned by some people.

Intervening in other people's marriages and destroying other people's families, even if you are Mr. President, you cannot be forgiven by people!

Moreover, the party committee has already made a decision. If nothing unexpected happens, Trueman is very likely to be able to go further.

So to sum up, he is quitting.

Although it is a bit regretful, there is nothing we can do about it.

Sometimes people cannot completely control themselves, and in just a moment, uncontrollable impulses can completely destroy some things.

As for regrets or no regrets, he doesn't really care. During his time in office, the federal economy has significantly recovered. Although it cannot be said to be restored to the situation before the Great Depression, it is already better than when he took over. a lot of.

Military, people's livelihood, and diplomacy were almost all subjects with perfect scores. He did not think that he left in despair, at least he was not a loser.

Before leaving, while he could still do something and still had some power, why not make it easier for others?

Maybe others can make it easier for his family, his children, or relatives in the future.

Isn’t this how the relationships among the upper class of the Federation work?

You help me, I help you...

After leaving the Ministry of Defense, Mr. President's car went directly outside the city. Chrissy and her husband had been caught.

When the Duncan family fell, the couple realized something was wrong and had gone on the run.

In fact, their relationship with the Duncan family is not close, and there is no depth to it. They are just using each other.

But from an official point of view, if they have large amounts of capital flowing, something must be going on.

Moreover, they were once "invited" to the Duncan family manor and met Mr. Geruno alone. They might also be involved in the Duncan family's crimes.

A few days ago, when they were trying to leave the Federation, they were caught at customs and sent back here.

Chrissy wants to meet him before sending them to the Bureau of Investigation.

He didn't want to meet the couple at first, but then... he was willing to meet them again, and the location was in an uninhabited villa in the suburbs.

When he saw this woman again, Mr. President was not too angry.

If something goes wrong, he also needs to bear some responsibility, and it is not entirely Chris's fault.

But she did betray herself. Obviously he should hate this woman, but when he saw her in despair, he was not so angry.

He walked to the edge of the sofa and sat down, lighting a cigarette for himself, "I heard you wanted to see me."

Kris had fear for the future on her face. She wanted to get closer to Mr. President, but was stopped by the eyes of the security personnel on the side.

There was nowhere to put her hands, just like her heart at this time.

"They want to take us back..."

Mr. President nodded, "Yes, we will always make mistakes. Since we make mistakes, we should bear responsibility."

This is the truth. Everyone understands the truth, but not everyone is willing to pay for it.

Chris begged, "We didn't do anything wrong..."

"Jeruno... forced us to do these things, and we are actually victims too!"

Originally, the couple thought Mr. Geruno and the Duncan family were very powerful, but they were completely destroyed in the blink of an eye.

This terrified them, and every once in a while, a member of the Duncan family was shot.

As the core participants in betraying Mr. President, they were very frightened and did not know where their future lay.

Maybe die?

In the Federation, various conspiracy theories targeting high-level officials in the country always come up with new tricks, and speculations about power killings are very common.

They may want to take down the President. So is it possible to kill them before the President steps down?

Mr. President looked at Chris with a smile on his face. He could still imagine the softness of this woman's body and skin, but at this moment, there was no trace of lust in his heart, only a detached, overlooking mentality from a higher level. .

"I will not offend anyone for this. As I said just now, we have made mistakes and we should not escape and cannot escape the responsibilities we bear."

"Chris, it's not your fault. It was actually me who made the mistake. I shouldn't have done that."

"I should control myself so that no matter what punishment I receive in the future, I won't resist."

"This is the best possible verdict for the mistakes I made, and so do you."

He put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, patted his trousers, stood up and straightened his clothes, "I'm glad we can meet again. I won't hurt you, and I won't use the power in my hands to hurt you, but You have to bear the responsibility for the sins you have committed and the mistakes you have made."

As he said this, he turned around and left. In fact, at this moment, even for the President himself, he felt relieved.

If he did something wrong, he would do something wrong. If killing these people could turn everything around, maybe he would feel a little moved.

But this is impossible to give after all. Killing them will not only fail to change his situation, but will make more mistakes because of it. He will not continue to make mistakes.

Sitting in the car, he asked his assistant, "What are their responsibilities?"

He actually didn't know this, but he felt that these two people would definitely have problems.

The president's assistant has been paying attention to this matter. He introduced to the president what Chrissy's husband did when he was a state justice.

For example, accepting money from others and favoring those who gave him money when sentencing are all very "common" things.

He has also done some things that touched the law, such as raising objections to some legally valid evidence and denying some key evidence.

At that time, he was a state justice, and he had his own teacher above him. In addition, Chris had built a solid relationship network through the body as a bond. This may or may not be a mistake, but it was ignored by people.

But the fact that they are being mentioned again at this time means that they will not be let go.

The assistant briefly summarized, "The lady's husband has about thirty to fifty years in prison, and there are some punitive elements."

"...Mr. believes that only by making people aware of the serious consequences of doing so can more judicial workers be warned to treat their work seriously and fairly!"

Mr. President nodded after hearing this, "That's very reasonable!"

Then his assistant talked about Chris, "That lady may be sentenced to more than twenty years in prison for leaking state secrets."

Mr. President raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's more serious than I thought!"

He changed the topic and said, "National security awareness is more important than my own safety. We need to let more people understand this!"

The assistant lowered his head slightly, "I think I know how to do it."
