1624 Negotiated
The federal domestic military equipment standards have been unified in the past two years.
There's nothing you can do if you don't agree, it's required by the Ministry of Defense.
Lynch wrote a letter of advice to the Ministry of National Defense, indicating that some of Lanying Aviation's small tricks in competition would not only bring no good atmosphere to the federation, but would instead set back the federation's military strength.
This letter attracted great attention from the Ministry of Defense.
In fact, to put it bluntly, Lanying Airlines took the initiative to popularize the "Lanying-style standards" in the air force and cultivate pilots' flying habits.
At that time, Lynch was tricked by them, so Lanying Airlines' bombers were the first to receive large orders from the Ministry of Defense. Naturally, they also had the right to give priority to training pilots.
If Lynch doesn't do anything, when the pilots become accustomed to Lan Ying's standards, Blackstone Aviation's fighter layout will have to be based on Lan Ying's standards in the future.
When the time comes, if they get some kind of layout patent or something, they can continue to suck blood from Lynch.
Lynch has never compromised on such low-level methods, and his backhand is just a punch.
The Department of Defense began investigating the matter, and other questions were raised as a result.
The federal military-industrial groups all have their own standards. When Blackstone Security tested the performance of weapons for them for a fee, the incompatibility of various weapons and ammunition became a problem.
Subsequently, the Ministry of Defense issued new requirements, and after more than a dozen hearings, new military procurement standards were announced.
You can create your own unique standards according to your own ideas, but the Department of Defense procurement will not consider this part of the procurement!
This also leads the military-industrial complex to either comply with the Ministry of Defense’s request for unified standards or not to do business with the Ministry of Defense.
But how can civilian purchases compare with military purchases?
This is also the reason why the weapons products of the military industrial group are more obviously different in terms of civilian and military use!
Now, the military-industrial complex hopes to promote federal standards in all member countries of the World Development Council, and the federal government has nothing to object to.
From a basic point of view, this is convenient for battlefield supplies, and you can use it if you see a gunner with bullets in it.
Or if you run out of ammunition, you can just look through the pockets of the fallen soldiers and find the bullets that can be inserted into the barrel of the gun.
This is not the only advantage of standardizing military equipment. It also makes it easier for military industrial groups to "invade" the military equipment systems of other countries.
When everyone's standards are consistent, if you want market share, you have to fight for design, performance, and price.
Precisely these are what the Federation is best at!
After considering the federal request for a while, the special envoy nodded and agreed.
They have also been paying attention to the development of the federation in the past two years, and they also know the benefits of unifying military standards. Now the special envoy can't think too much or too far on this issue.
After all, the war has broken out and everyone doesn't have much time. It is impossible for him to find a group of experts to sit together and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of doing so while drinking and eating pastries in the afternoon after returning home.
Without any obvious questions, he nodded in agreement.
However, he also had his own requirements. Since the Federation made such a request, it would be better for the Federation to provide the weapons on the Amelia battlefield incidentally.
They can deal with bullets and the like by themselves. Standard weapons are actually not too much. Weapons with a scale of one million are only a few hundred million...
Finally, we come to the payment method.
The top minister of the Ministry of International Affairs first proposed "placing the taxation rights and customs rights in the Amelia region", or the Gefra government would exchange the money, and the federal government would return these two rights.
Either the money owed by the Gevra government is acquired through taxation, and then the two powers are returned.
The Department of International Affairs' "Federal Eagle" adds one more taxing power to Mr. Trueman's bottom-line tariff power.
Sometimes negotiations are like this. If you tell someone you want a hundred dollars, they will think that even ten dollars is too much.
But if you tell them you want 100 million, they may hesitate to give you a price of 1,000 yuan.
What is high and what is low must first have a standard. Whoever puts forward this standard first will have more advantages.
Naturally, it is impossible for the special envoy to agree outright. If he dares to agree to such a thing, he will be hanged when he returns home.
Although everyone knows that even if he agrees, Gaevra will not suffer any loss.
The people will not be able to accept it, and the few remaining nobles will not be able to accept it. The successive defeats in the war need someone to make a punching bag.
Obviously Pengeo is not the punching bag, so he can only be the punching bag.
Everyone refused to give in, slapping the table, blowing their beards, and staring, but no one really left.
Ten minutes later, the envoy requested to make a phone call, which was granted.
In a separate closed room, he dialed the phone in front of the Prime Minister. It was not that he believed that the federal people would not eavesdrop on his phone, but that he had no choice at this time.
As long as he is still in the Federation, he will definitely not be able to escape the fate of being eavesdropped, unless he can return to Gefra to discuss with the Prime Minister face to face.
But the situation in Amelia didn't support him doing this, so he had no choice but to give it a try.
Fortunately, he had discussed some code words with the Prime Minister before coming. These code words could confuse the eavesdroppers' ability to understand their communications, and that was enough.
The call was not long, and the content that was too long would show a pattern, which would allow the federal people to find some tips for deciphering the code words.
After a short break to replenish food and water, the envoy returned to the negotiating table and began intense negotiations.
More than two hours later, the special envoy left with a cold face, and the top minister of the Ministry of International Affairs went to the Presidential Palace in person to report the good news.
At this time, Mr. Trueman was processing some documents. If the security agencies want to carry out a large-scale purge in the country, they will inevitably touch the "forbidden zone" of some people.
For example, freedom.
In times of war, even freedom should not be unlimited, but even so, presidential authorization is still required.
There were many issues at stake, and Mr. Trueman's consultation was meticulous and his authorization was cautious.
So much so that the top official of the Department of International Affairs waited for another twenty minutes before seeing Mr. Trueman.
"This is the outcome of our negotiations."
He handed over the minutes and documents, and Mr. Trueman read something positive on his face, and there was a smile on his tired face.
He did not open the documents immediately and asked directly, "It looks like some good news?"
The top minister of the Ministry of International Affairs smiled and nodded, "Ten years of taxation rights, but they have the opportunity to redeem them early, and twenty-year tariff rights, which can also be redeemed in advance."
A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Mr. Trueman's face. Ten years of taxation rights was an unexpected surprise. He couldn't wait to open the document and read it.
The content of the document is more detailed than a simple narrative. Although the powers promised by the Gevra cabinet government may be redeemed in advance, they have minimum restrictions.
For example, even if they want to redeem their right to tax, they must do so after six consecutive years of federal taxation. In the first six years, even if they want to redeem it, it is impossible.
The same goes for tariff power, with a twelve-year minimum bottom line, which is enough to ensure that the rights and interests of the federal government are not threatened in any way.
And this is what can be achieved by negotiating as widely as possible, and then carefully keeping counteroffers.
After seeing the end, Mr. Trueman thought it was suitable, and then took out a pen and signed his name at the end, "Perfect result, I couldn't find a more suitable one!"
Some things may be a little tricky for the federal government to do, but don’t forget that the federal government is a capital society.
In fact, Mr. Trueman listened to Lynch's suggestion and focused on this aspect from the beginning, and never considered operating it himself.
He will package these powers and entrust them to the United Development Company or a new company, allowing these capitalists to squeeze Amelia's commercial value.
At that time, everyone will just share the accounts.
Even if these companies go too far, people will not say anything wrong with the federal government. The response is simply too great, and it is nothing more than replacing a group of people.
Moreover, these powers can not only bring economic benefits to the federal government, but also help the federal government gain potential support from this region.
Mr. Trueman has read all of Lynch's "works" and has also read the extended works of representatives of the more well-known schools.
The economy determines the affinity of the lower class society. Let alone ten years, five years is enough for the lower class people in the Amelia region to accept the federal government more than Gaevra.
Maybe these things don't seem to have much value at the moment, but one day, they will be useful!
After the secret negotiations between the federal government and the Gaevra government ended, a large amount of supplies began to be transported to the Amelia region, and the Federation's Third Fleet was directly dispatched to the waters off Amelia to cooperate with Gaevra in escorting and fighting!
The pressure on the Amelia battlefield began to increase, and the Pengeo Empire had to speed up its military investment in the Amelia region. Both sides began day and night shelling and air battles.
Federal society as a whole does not see much change, except for people's frequent complaints about dissatisfaction with high tax rates, and there is not much more.
As the security agencies began to clean up internally, and combined with the local police stations and investigation bureaus, the security of the entire federation has improved a lot.
Even those gang members who often appear on the streets have quietly restrained themselves.
The situation on the front line is still anxious. The Pengeo Military Group has tried to regain the lost territory, but they all ended in failure.
Later, an intelligence officer inquired about some information. It was said that the Pengeo Military Group had reproduced tanks targeting the Federation. The Pengeo Military Group also began mass production of a tank named after a mythical animal and was heading to Nagaril. Frontline transportation...
