2265

Federal politicians love power because it gets them most of what they want.

Capitalists are passionate about wealth because wealth is almost omnipotent in this world.

Different people have different choices, and the Lieutenant General chose wealth.

Lynch sent him back later, and as soon as he returned to the hotel, other people who had not slept took the initiative to visit him.

They said they couldn't sleep and wanted to chat, but every officer who knocked on the door of His Excellency the Lieutenant General's room for this reason would eventually smile.

Not long after, almost everyone who was supposed to come and everyone who could come was here.

"I know what you are concerned about. I have just discussed these issues with Lynch."

"We only need to invest manpower and funds in the construction of the missile force..."

At this time, a major general raised his hand and interrupted the lieutenant general's speech. The lieutenant general did not feel offended by this.

He nodded politely and signaled the major general to continue speaking.

"Our military expenditure is a bit difficult. I paid a little attention today. Their investment in missile research and development is a super project worth hundreds of millions."

"You know, we may not be able to afford so much money..."

Life in the Western Military Region is now a little harder than during the war. In addition to various daily expenses, there are only more than 100 million funds left to mobilize.

It looks like...this is a lot of money, but it's actually not that much!

It is unlikely that any budget will be completed perfectly, so when submitting a budget, an increase of 20% is often given.

But even so, accidents sometimes happen, such as the federal military sex scandal.

Congress will not use money from the national treasury to wipe the military's butt. No matter how much this money ends up being, it will be an unplanned expenditure.

The Western Military Region also had some troublesome issues, but fortunately they solved them in a timely manner without spending too much money.

After all the calculations, there are probably more than 40 million left in the military region's accounts that can be freely used.

Most of this money has already been arranged. If you want to cooperate with Lynch and others on funds, it will inevitably affect other plans.

The Lieutenant General shook his head slightly, "Lynch will ask Blackstone Bank to loan us this money first, and then add this money to Congress next year when we apply for a budget."

At first, the Lieutenant General did not understand the twists and turns involved, but after Lynch's kind reminder, he realized that this long-term cooperative relationship would allow the military region to obtain an additional budget every year.

Any way to get money is a good way for the Lieutenant General.

They also want to change to the latest tanks, the latest aircraft, and even a fleet of their own.

Then he talked about the new military region, "Lynch also promised us to promote the implementation of the new overseas military region as soon as possible. Once it is implemented, there is a high probability that we will split off some people and rush to Nagaril to form a new military region. .”

The Lieutenant General was a little excited when he talked about this, "Because there is a long coastline over Nagaril, there is a high probability that we will form an overseas fleet!"

If you have a fleet, you can do maritime business.

The Eastern Naval District can make a living by providing reliable escort services for the maritime trade of those big capitalists every year, not to mention that they can also do a little business themselves.

Smuggling will always bring huge profits. Ordinary people will have big problems with smuggling, but with federal navy smuggling, that is not a problem!

Not to mention that the Navy can sometimes serve as an anti-smuggling team, confiscate some "stolen items" for any reason, and then auction them to the outside world, with the proceeds used for military operations.

The line between good guys and bad guys is not that clear these days.

These words were just the Lieutenant General's emotion and a breath of fresh air, but soon others in the room realized that the Western Military Region was going to be "separated."

There is no doubt that Nagaril is definitely a great place, not to mention the extra military expenses.

On the surface, no one said anything or asked anything, but they had already made a decision in their hearts and tried to find a way to mobilize themselves.

With this idea in mind, the rest of the chat was a little absent-minded.

After the Lieutenant General told them what he knew, he let them all leave.

Then, he called another lieutenant general who was staying in the Western Military Region.

The call was quickly connected, and the Lieutenant General briefly talked about the gains from this trip and was very emotional.

"The central and southern military region and the eastern navy can rise so quickly relying on war, and it is not entirely due to their capabilities."

"We all know that the emergence of aircraft is one of the keys to us taking the initiative in war."

"We didn't do too well early in the war until a lot of aircraft came into service."

"In addition to this factor, Trueman is also a very important factor. He unconditionally supported Peleus and his family, allowing their power and prestige within the army to rise to their current heights."

"But now there is good news, that is, Lynch can stand with us!"

The left-behind lieutenant general didn't talk much, but every sentence was able to grasp the key points.

"You think Lynch is the next Trueman?"

"But he is not a federal government official, he is just a capitalist."

"I have some doubts whether he can do this!"

The rise of the Peleus family and their military region is indeed directly related to Mr. Trueman, and this is also a fact that everyone acquiesces to.

Without a wartime president who had a very reliable relationship with them and unconditionally tilted policies and resources to them, they would not have been able to expand to this point.

The Lieutenant General gave his own opinion, "Lynch has a great influence. His influence in Congress, the political party and the federal government is very great."

"I heard that Connor, the core candidate of the Progressive Party, has a very good personal relationship with him. If Connor can win, then Lynch can provide us with an opportunity to directly face the presidential palace!"

The military's peer administrative agency is the Department of Defense. Generally speaking, the military does not communicate directly with the president. Of course, this is not to say that it does not do so, but it does not do so often.

Especially during the period when the Conservative Party was in power, due to the Conservative Party's unfriendly attitude towards the military, the military almost completely cut off communication with the presidential palace.

All communications during this period were conducted through the Department of Defense.

After Trueman came to power, the Peleus family's phone calls could reach his ears directly, which re-strengthened the relationship between the president and the military.

But this so-called "connection" actually refers to the connection between Mr. Trueman and Peleus and their family, rather than referring to more other armies.

Because of this relationship, they got whatever they wanted, and soon surpassed the Western Military Region and the originally strong Northern Military Region in all aspects.

The Northern Military Region has been engaged in smuggling business before, smuggling Marillo's tobacco into the federal territory, and even selling some "malfunctioning ordnance" to the outside world.

In addition, they occasionally have small-scale armed conflicts with some warlords. When there are wars to fight and money to be made, the strength of the Northern Military Region is very strong.

But even so, there is not much difference between the Northern Military Region and the Western Military Region now, and they are far behind the Peleus family.

The remaining lieutenant general was silent for a while, "What if Connor doesn't win?"

This is indeed a problem. No one dares to say who will definitely win.

The Lieutenant General was silent for a moment, "There will be no accidents. If you are worried, we can place bets after the results are out."

"But you also know that when that time comes, we won't get much as much as we would get if we bet now."

The left-behind lieutenant general hesitated, "Do you know anything?"

The lieutenant general did not answer immediately, but said, "I will talk about it when I get back..."

In fact, they all know that they have no other choice except Lynch.

With the current strength, prestige, and status of the Central and Southern Military District and the Eastern Naval Military District, even though they do not have a reliable and strong personal relationship with the new president.

On military issues, the new president will still take them as the main actors. In layman's terms, these two military regions are regarded as the entire "military"!

Two days later, the much-anticipated first hearing was held in Courtroom 1 of the Supreme Court in Buppain.

This first court has a very special status in the federation, and the cases heard here have left a mark in history.

For example, several presidential assassinations, serial murders targeting new immigrants, and some notorious religious crimes.

Every move will push the judicial legislative process one step forward.

This time, there will be no exception.

Early in the morning, the court was crowded with people, including journalists and many people.

They held up signs with various slogans and stood outside the court to advocate their views. Some of them were not here for the case, but simply because there was enough focus here.

For example, a man holding a placard that reads "We are not different" and wearing feminine clothing.

What he and the groups around him want is more attention from society!

As the military vehicle entered from the side door of the court, the first trial also entered the preparation stage.

As the first victim to come forward and the current leader, Gianna was scheduled to attend the first court hearing.

Considering that she must provide a "template" for other victimized women to be courageous, she must perform perfectly.

As everyone stood up to show respect for the lifelong justice, the prosecutor began to read the trial materials and also introduced the defendant and plaintiff to the court.

Sitting on the plaintiff's seat, Gianna glanced at several officers not far away.

These people were the main criminals who harmed her, but not all.

Perhaps because of the sensitivity of being a soldier, the several officers she observed also turned to look at her expressionlessly.

There was no expression or eye contact between the two parties, they just looked at each other calmly, and then looked away.

But they are not at peace inside.

This lawsuit will determine their future!
