Trueman…

Peleus sighed.

This person has a very special place in his heart.

Trueman's grandfather reached the highest level of major. In the eyes of many people, a major should be an officer with a very high status.

But in the Federation, the major was actually like that, but Trueman's grandfather was different.

He, the major, was Grandpa Peleus's security officer, the person responsible for taking care of his grandfather's safety.

This also led to a relationship between Mr. Trueman's family and senior military officials.

After all, their families have been soldiers for generations and have served the military, so they can be called "one of our own" in the true sense.

In addition, Trueman's ancestors also participated in suppressing indigenous uprisings, so there is nothing to criticize about their nature.

By the time of Mr. Trueman's father's generation, their family had begun to gradually integrate into the top brass of the military.

The federal military is independent and authoritarian. They have the cunning of politicians and the greed of capitalists.

They spare no effort to promote their own people, and they will not risk contact with those who are not yet sure of their position.

Mr. Trueman's father retired to the rank of colonel as an intelligence analyst and staff officer on the Army Staff.

The federal military is firmly controlled by several military families, which makes his job actually serve these military families.

Coupled with his own business and his father's connections, Mr. Trueman's father finally successfully squeezed into the circle of senior military officials.

Although he is a fringe person, he is also a high-level military official and has access to some real power.

Under such circumstances, Mr. Trueman has been exposed to the most militarized education since he was a child——

Army Nursery.

Army No. 1 Primary School.

Federal Army High School.

Federal Army Academy...

Those who can be trained according to this system are basically the future core figures of the army, such as Mr. Trueman and Peleus.

There is a slight age gap between the two, but they live very close to each other and they can usually play together.

Peleus's grandfather, father, and uncle were all important generals in the federal military, including more than six generals.

The situation on his mother's side was similar. There were five generals in the family.

From the moment he was born, he carried the hopes of many people.

In such an environment, everyone on his side would unite around him, including Mr. Trueman, who was much older than him.

Peleus still likes this man who is quite intelligent, has good academic performance, and has strong military qualities in all aspects.

This is why Mr. Trueman was able to quickly become a colonel, having been groomed as Peleus's future deputy.

When Peleus gets older, they will almost enter the general class at the same time and start a new round of internal struggles in the army.

But soon everyone discovered a problem.

Apart from proving themselves in the massacre of indigenous people, the federal military has almost no record of success!

Even the more outstanding bandit suppressors have not been able to do so!

There were no large-scale war achievements, and the federal government's foreign policy was conservative. The then-ruling Conservative government decided that the United Nations would weaken the military's power.

Part of the advantage of doing so is to show the international community that "we have no ambition to take the initiative to attack." On the other hand, the federal government and Congress can further strengthen their control over the military.

After all, it is the largest violent agency in the federation. If these people cannot be firmly grasped, Congress is very worried that some things will get out of control.

It happened that the president at the time had similar thoughts. The military should be more or less controlled by the federal presidential palace.

Under such circumstances, the military decided to promote some outstanding talents to enter politics to seek political support for the military.

In fact, Mr. Trueman was not the only one who entered politics at that time, but there were many similar people who entered politics.

Some have returned to the military, while others are still struggling in the middle and lower classes.

With the outbreak and victory of the war, the military regained all its rights, and even Congress did not dare to interfere in the military's issues.

Overall, the plan was successful.

Because Mr. Trueman ran for president and won, with his strong support, the Union became stronger than ever.

As a strong foundation, military strength has also been rapidly restored and developed during Mr. Trueman's term.

The military-industrial complex is also expanding rapidly.

If nothing else happens, after Mr. Trueman leaves office, he will return to the military and restart his military career as a federal major general.

And became one of the important generals in the military.

But unfortunately, he was assassinated two years before the entire plan was successful.

In fact, in the middle and later stages, Mr. Trueman and Peleus had some minor differences on some issues.

Peleus was concerned about whether the military was independent and had a voice, but after Mr. Trueman handled more government affairs, he began to change the direction and target capitalism!

In a capitalist country and against capitalism... To be honest, no one except idealists can do such a thing, and no one will give them the opportunity and rights to do such a thing!

The military cooperates closely with capital forces, especially military-industrial groups, and some military-industrial groups even have the shadow of military forces behind them.

The war not only gave the military unprecedented rights, but also allowed the military-industrial complex to expand and develop tremendously!

This just makes Mr. Trueman feel uneasy. In fact, his wariness towards Northern Heavy Industry and the military-industrial group is not just because the power of these groups grew too fast during the war.

What he is actually wary of is that the military's power is expanding too fast!

They are no longer a simple military organization, but also include production, manufacturing, transportation...

Even some military factories can produce common daily necessities anytime and anywhere to compete with capitalists for the market. The military is being capitalized!

This was also the reason why the last few conversations between him and Peleus were not very pleasant. He did not want the military to become a terrible seam monster. He only wanted the military to be pure, just like a pure soldier!

Looking at it now, his worries are actually necessary, but it is a pity that he can't get anyone's support.

"That guy has said everything he needs to say. Someone instructed him to hire a killer to be ready to assassinate Trueman anytime and anywhere."

"We have obtained some evidence..."

He was talking about the incident with the security minister. The security minister was almost silenced, but he ran out and was eventually caught by Lynch's people.

Lynch sent the person directly to the military. With the intervention of the military, those people did not dare to try to silence anyone except for destroying evidence more actively.

If you take action against the military, you may be impatient.

Planning to assassinate the president is not a serious crime because, firstly, there is no specific implementation, and secondly, the federal government is a place of law.

The legal team can save the scapegoat from death, which is within the acceptance range of the consortium.

Lin Qi also sighed lightly. Although the two of them were sighing, they were thinking about different things. "It seems that there will be no results in a short time."

With so many big shots involved, there will definitely be some compromise of interests.

Sometimes life is like this, you know it's wrong, but you have no other choice but to do it.

Peleus nodded, "All investigations should be completed in the first half of next year..."

There was another period of silence between the two of them.

In fact, both of them are thinking about how to talk about the topic they really want to talk about when they meet next.

This opening is not an easy task because it is very special.

Thinking of this, Lin Qi couldn't help but laugh twice.

And this laughter aroused Peleus' curiosity.

"Think of anything interesting?"

Lynch nodded and took a sip of coffee. He looked very relaxed.

"You know, Trueman has been writing letters to himself. He may have had a premonition that he would be in danger."

"I don't know how many letters he wrote. Even though he has left us, he still left us with some trouble!"

The "trouble" Lynch refers to refers to the mutual distrust caused by Mr. Trueman writing letters alone!

He could write to Lynch and he could write to Peleus, but he would not tell them whether they had told each other anything.

This also makes it possible for them to be suspicious of each other, and even if they have doubts about it, it will be difficult to decipher his last resort.

Because they didn't know exactly what Mr. Trueman said to them, whether he mentioned himself, and whether he talked about other core interests!

And it was impossible for Lynch and Peleus, or even more others, to exchange letters.

Because the letter in Peleus's own hand talked about a lot of military and capital issues, Peleus would not let Lynch see these contents no matter how generous he was.

This prevents him from having an open talk with Lynch with "real evidence"!

At this time, Lynch's words made Peleus sigh with emotion, "Did he leave you a letter?"

Lynch smiled and said nothing, but at this time, this attitude made Peleus think that his guess was correct.

After all, Mr. Trueman also left a letter for himself, and as his most important assistant during the federal government's administration, Lynch was naturally likely to have a separate letter addressed to him.

Peleus's expression changed slightly, "He didn't say anything bad about me, right?"

Lin Qi's vagina shrank slightly, almost to an unnoticeable degree!

The way people think is a wonderful thing. It brings known information into the direction of thinking to speculate on the unknown.

When the known content is all positive, then the direction of thinking will develop towards the good side.

But if the known content is all negative, then it is inevitable that more negative content will come to mind!

Lynch guessed that the letter Mr. Trueman left for Peleus talked about him, and it was not a good thing!
