0831 Ways to Spend Money
"The public's emotions have been completely aroused by them. Now it is not the people who have to object to the proposal passed by Congress, but people will object if Congress does not respond positively to this proposal!"
Standing in Mr. Trueman's office. By the way, Mr. Trueman's office was moved directly from the inconspicuous little corner.
He no longer works in the presidential palace, but has found a place not far from the presidential palace.
This place was originally the Federal National Archives, and not many people come here on weekdays. The work here is leisurely and noble.
The staff always have access to some confidential documents. Even if the important parts of most confidential documents have been obliterated, they can still guess some social truths through those documents.
But unfortunately, they have moved now.
The reason is that there are some confidential documents stored in the archives. In order to ensure the safety of these confidential documents and that the archives will not be stolen, they moved the archives to the Bupen Security Area.
The Bupen Security Zone, also called the Bupen Defense Zone, is under the vertical management of the president and the military. Its function is that once a war of annihilation occurs, it will be the last line of defense to defend the federal government and the federal president.
As we all know, the Federation people are good at scaring themselves. During the period of escapism, it was obvious that the Federation did not participate in the war at all, and did not even have the idea of participating in the war.
They still built a lot of fortifications. Maybe the military industry and construction groups gave them too much money, and Congress and the president couldn't refuse it. The people were very satisfied with it.
They have no idea that the money paid to the state as taxpayers and should have been reused for them has been legally put into the pockets of the capitalists, and they are still applauding.
The security zone is also a product of that period. A group of people who have practiced surrender postures still want to resist until the end. Apart from defrauding ordinary people in the Federation of money, what else can they do?
The archives were moved away inexplicably, and the vacated land immediately attracted the attention of many people. However, on the day of the move, the Presidential Palace conveyed its opinions.
This building in the city center will be used as the office of the Federal Ministry of International Affairs, and everyone gave up their desire to buy it.
And now, Lynch is standing in the sixth-floor office of the former archives, now the federal Ministry of State, looking out the window at the crowds of people marching.
Mr. Trueman was standing next to him, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, and looking at the people downstairs who were holding signs high, blushing, and loudly advocating their ideas.
"Jeruno's move was very beautiful..." He paused and quickly changed his statement, "No, it's not very beautiful, it's because they are too rich."
Lynch feels the same way, "So that's why I'm telling you, I don't want to go into politics."
"If this were Gafra, a country like Nagaril where power is higher than capital, I would go in without you having to tell me."
"But look here, as long as enough money is spent, politicians, power, and even the will of the people will become toys in the hands of capitalists, just like they are now!"
Mr. Trueman did not refute Lynch this time, but looked at the people marching downstairs with a complicated expression.
As everyone thought at the beginning, when Mr. Geruno proposed pushing for the passage of the Overseas Security Act, the first reaction of politicians was a little nervous.
Although the military has not expressed its position, it can be seen from their lack of expression that they do not seem to like this bill very much.
But no one can stop it, because the Duncan family has spent all the money.
Regardless of the fact that they spent various interests to lobby congressmen frantically in Congress, they spent almost the same amount of money just by inciting a storm of public opinion.
Intense television reports were about the various troubles encountered by overseas businessmen. The images of the tragic disasters of the federal people inspired people's anger and violence. In addition, the workers' unions received money from the capitalists, and they began to organize demonstrations of the working class and ordinary people. , requiring the federal government to protect the lives and property of those doing business overseas.
This looks like a fucking farce. A group of workers who may never go abroad are willing to skip work and participate in the demonstration. What kind of spirit is this?
This is the spirit of ignorant people. If Emperor Gefra saw this scene, he would laugh out loud when sleeping. These people are so cute, and they will believe whatever the above says.
This is different from the Gefra people, who are sometimes not so stupid or not so "loyal" to the country.
Now that public opinion caused by these issues is beginning to boil, even if the government wants to stop it, it doesn't have much chance.
And all of this has something to do with money!
It takes money to convince members of Congress!
Giving TV stations intensive coverage costs money!
Workers' unions still need money to organize large-scale demonstrations.
In the Federation, if you have money, you can do whatever you really want!
The two were silent for a while, it was enough to watch the excitement for a while. They returned to the room and sat on both sides of the table.
"The military's attitude has also become very ambiguous. It is said that Geruno called the top military officials. They have not clearly expressed support or opposition, but they said they are willing to obey the leadership of the president and Congress..."
When Mr. Trueman said this, he couldn't help laughing. He laughed for a long time, and his laughter was filled with an emotion that he could not explain clearly.
There is something funny, there is comedy, there is absurdity, there is anger, there is also helpless silence.
He himself is the spokesperson of the military's interests in the federal government, and he actually knows more about the changes in the top leadership of the military than outsiders.
Most of the top military generals have interests in dealings with the military-industrial complex, and their family members play important roles in the military-industrial complex or arms purchasing organizations related to the military industry.
They even simply set up a formal company for them. This company can easily get military purchase orders from the military. They don't need to produce it themselves. As long as they change hands, they can make a lot of money.
Mr. Geruno promised to the top military officials that they would give priority to hiring veterans, and at the same time, they could resolve the armaments left by the military. When purchasing weapons, they would also uniformly use the current federal standard military weapons.
In addition to these, there are some things that are difficult to reveal. For example, Mr. Geruno promised to build at least three to five supply warehouses for the military around the world.
A large amount of military equipment and heavy oil will be stored in these warehouses for a long time, and there is a deeper supply standard. He impressed the military with his "sincerity".
Of course, it costs the military money to supply supplies from him, and it also costs money to rent his warehouse.
It seems that the military has not taken advantage of the supply warehouse issue. In fact, this is already a very important strategic plan.
Before there were accurate and effective over-the-horizon reconnaissance methods, the main reason that restricted a thousand-mile raid was that it was easy to travel thousands of miles without supplies after the journey.
Now the problem is solved.
These secret warehouses can ensure that the federal navy can circle around the world, participate in one or two medium- and low-intensity wars, and have supplies that can be brought back on their own.
Mr. Geruno made an offer that no one could refuse. No one could refuse it.
"This matter is being promoted too fast, and there is still some process missing."
There needs to be a process for the development of the situation, just like when everyone lies together on the first night, you can't take off your pants immediately, there must be a certain rhythm.
Everything must be climbed slowly and naturally, and reaching the peak is the best.
Everything happened too quickly now, and I felt like... something was wrong.
If it has developed to this moment after the preliminary preparations, it can be said that it has completely exploded, but from the beginning, things have happened from a high point, no longer rising a little, and it feels a bit neither up nor down.
"A 'big event' may happen in the near future, otherwise the rhythm is wrong." Lynch shook his head, which meant that someone else was going to be unlucky.
Mr. Trueman sighed, "I hope it doesn't get too bad."
Both of them paused for a moment, and then Lynch changed the subject, "Has the new presidential cabinet list been finalized?"
The president is still in the process of forming his presidential cabinet. He will announce this list to the public in two days. By then, some of them who have never been an official for a day may be able to move into an office in the presidential palace and become a non-stop official. Office officials large and small.
There is no saying in this world that "chickens and dogs ascend to heaven", otherwise it can vividly describe the relationship between the president and his cabinet.
If the president is "naughty" enough, he can even appoint an official for his dog, and others can't say anything, because this is his power, just like the power of people's elections, it is innate and sacred. Violating.
"Not much has changed. Some offices have been added, but there are too many people trying to jump in line!"
Precisely because the president can directly appoint these senior national officials, there will always be people who find ways to squeeze in.
For example, some important members of the party, such as some people in the hands of capitalist funders, have helped a lot during the presidential campaign, which can be considered a kind of reward.
"Where is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?" Lynch asked very concerned.
Mr. Trueman shrugged and placed his hands on the armrests on both sides of the chair naturally and relaxedly. "As we knew before, there is no foreign minister appointed for the time being."
Lynch smiled and said, "Should I say congratulations now?"
Mr. Trueman sneered and waved his hands repeatedly, "Spare me, this is not fun. I don't know how many people are staring at me now."
"It's always because of my relationship that the president doesn't appoint a foreign minister. Those who are qualified to be foreign ministers hate me."
Although he said this, there was no look of fear on his face at all.
From now on, he will decide all the foreign affairs of the Federation. In the next ten years, there will be a society with rapid international development. It is conceivable how terrible power Mr. Trueman holds in his hands.
With these powers, he doesn't need to be afraid of anyone!
