Chapter 1983

After chatting for a while, Mr. Truman sighed with emotion.

"The war is over."

In the past two months, the two sides have invested a total of nearly 500 million troops and fought a big battle around the south-central area of ​​Penteo.

At present, the number of casualties on both sides has exceeded 200 million, and the exact number still needs to be counted.

Casualties on the federal side were also considered heavy. The preliminary figure given by the Ministry of Defense was between 80 and 90.

Of course, more people died on Penteio's side.

In addition to the problem of casualties, the investment in war and the loss of mechanical equipment are too amazing!

Both sides also realized that if the fight continues, there may not be a better result!

Emperor Peng Jieao was determined to keep his dignity in the end. Even if the federal people invested another 100 million or 200 million troops, they might still maintain a relative result in the end.

Before the start of the war, the idea of ​​"reaching the capital of the Penteio Empire" put forward by the federal military failed to be realized in the end.

The two sides have begun to cease fighting in the secondary battlefield, and the fighting intensity in the main battlefield has come down, and active preparations are also underway for a new peace talks on the truce.

"This time, it is likely to be the last peace talk." Mr. Truman lit a cigarette and took a deep puff.

He now smokes a two-pack of Every Moment, a low-end cigarette from the Every Moment line, made with a blend of Nagalil and Marillo.

Raw smoke is very powerful, which is also very suitable for the bottom consumer market and groups.

Many low-level people need such a lot of energy to smoke, and only in this way can they enjoy themselves.

Mr. Truman didn't smoke this kind of nicotine before, but now he smokes it very vigorously, which shows that he is very troubled and needs more nicotine to calm his emotions.

In fact, he himself is very clear that once the state of war is over and the Congress starts to function again, the first thing he has to face is the Congress and its members.

He pushed a lot of policies, basically based on the dictatorial prerogatives of his wartime presidency.

It was fine when it was rolled out, but now Congress will bounce back once the war is over.

Next, he may spend his time playing games with members of Congress.

To him, it was like a waste of time!

Fortunately, Lynch can give him some help from the side.

The York Gang now has a large number of members and has a certain status in the Senate. As long as Lynch is on his side and with the support of the military, he may not lose!

It's just that in the next long period of time, he needs to waste his life and fight against those ugly politicians and greedy capitalists.

Lynch already had a premonition of the end of the war.

So many people died, in fact, even if Peng Jieao didn't take the initiative to propose peace talks, the Federation would arrange people to find a way to let them propose peace talks first.

In a few years, more than 100 million federal people died, and they were still fucking young and middle-aged!

what does this mean?
This means that at least over 100 million families have lost members, and one in every seven Commonwealths has lost a loved one forever!
Such a price is too heavy!

And the biggest loss was in the two months of high-intensity battles.

If it continues any longer, the people of the Federation will be overwhelmed!

The room is filled with the smell of burning tobacco, and the smell of raw smoke is very strong, just two puffs, the office is almost full of smoke.

But this smoke smell is not too bad, every moment is now a high-end brand.

Driven by Lynch, it is moving towards the road from high-end to luxury, so it pays great attention to the quality of products.

Coupled with the development of technology, a low-profile version of cigarette companion was researched, and then added to the company's low-end products.

In the current smoke smell, there is still some woody burnt aroma.

Lynch wasn't frightened by Mr. Truman's words...?
Or rather he knew it was just an inaccurate description.

So his reaction was not so strong.

"Can it all be over next year?", he asked.

Mr. Truman thought for a while and nodded, "There is no big problem. Before next summer, the world will return to peace!"

That means there is still a year left.

For a year, Mr. Truman remained a wartime president until most of the wars came to a standstill.

Because the Federation is a member of the World Development Council, regardless of its status and role in this organization, as long as there are other member states whose wars are not over.

As a huge economic, political, and military alliance, the wartime state of the Federation will not be dissolved immediately.

At most, it will be a downgrade of the war level, but it will not end.

After Mr. Truman answered Lynch's question, he sighed again, "These next things are more troublesome than war."

Lynch didn't speak, he knew roughly what it was. Seeing that Lynch didn't speak, Mr. Truman went on to say, "The pension is part of it, and the other part is a loan."

He glanced at Lynch.

Families who sacrificed for the country can choose a high school student to unconditionally enter the university alliance established by Lynch to go to university.

The federal government will settle half of the funds, and the other half will be borne by Blackstone Insurance——

It's not that Blackstone Insurance helped them pay their tuition fees, but gave them a student loan.

In other words, they actually only need to pay half the tuition fee to finish college.

This is also very attractive to many families, because the cost of college is really high!
Then there are some resettlement work for disabled soldiers and various post-war matters.

After all, it's money!
The post-war issues have to be handed over to Congress, and Congress will certainly not be too willing to pay the bill. They will inevitably embarrass the Federal President, because this is Mr. Truman's decision.

Lynch is very rich, and he hopes that Lynch can give him some help in this matter.

Or help him think of a way, the ghost knows how those people in Congress will make things difficult for him.

Lynch only spoke at this time.

"The federal government has special funds for the issue of pensions, and I can't get involved."

"If it is settled, I can expand a part of Blackstone Security, but recruiting at most 1 people is already at the limit."

"No matter how much, the Ministry of Defense will definitely have opinions."

Because of the war and the expansion of international business, Blackstone Security now has about [-] employees.

Among them, less than [-]% are in the management team, and the rest are all field workers, which can also be called "soldiers".

With such a large and long-term workforce of various military missions in the Commonwealth, the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security have long been concerned.

In case of chaos, it is definitely not a joke!
Mr. Truman also knew about this, and he nodded, expressing his approval of Lynch's statement.

"As for other funding issues, it's hard for me to promise you anything."

"I can only publicly state that under the same conditions, retired soldiers are given priority in hiring."

"I am also willing to establish a military club in my property, if the military does not object."

During this period, the Federation didn't give soldiers much convenience, so when Lynch made a promise to hire retired soldiers first, Mr. Truman's eyes lit up!
If most companies made such a choice, then he wouldn't have much to worry about.

Sure enough, chatting with Lynch was very helpful. He planned to improve this idea and promote its implementation in the form of policy.

It is obviously good for the military, even if the state of war is lifted, even if he leaves this position in the future.

Congress would not risk offending the military by overturning these policies.

At the same time, these policies do not require too many practical benefits from the federal government, but they can be favored by the military and soldiers. This is definitely a great choice!

It can even be said to have solved some of the troubles in Mr. Truman's heart at this time, and made him a lot easier.

He had an idea in his mind, and he seemed relaxed, so he casually chatted about the situation of the joint development company.

As the company with the highest market capitalization in the Federation, the United Development Company's every move has attracted the attention of all walks of life.

In addition, some minority shareholders and the like don't mind passing on some information, so Mr. Truman already knows what happened.

The United Development Company is also a number in his heart. Although he has not expressed his intention to deal with the United Development Company, he is always trying to dismantle its excessive power.

These powers should not belong to individuals or capitalist organizations, they can only belong to the state!
Mr. Truman simply mentioned something, and Lynch did not perfunctory or deny it, but talked about the content of the meeting.

"My proposition is to transfer these powers peacefully to the federal government in exchange for some benefits."

"Tax reductions and exemptions, policy support and the like are more appropriate than confrontation."

"The federation after the war will have a period of super-high-speed development. We should not spend our little energy on the confrontation between capital and politics, but should develop together."

"When the Federation can become the highest peak in the world, what we have lost will also be returned to us in another form!"

Mr. Truman nodded as he listened, which is why he liked Lynch.

Unlike other capitalists.

90.00% of the capitalists in the Federation can disregard the interests of the country for their own interests. They bribe politicians to make a name for themselves, make huge profits for themselves, and even trample on laws and charters.

But Lynch is different. He has a strong view of the overall situation and understands that the prosperity of the country is the foundation of everything better than others.

As he said, in the face of important interest decisions, he can stand on the side of the Federation, which is enough for Mr. Truman to trust and support most of his decisions before stepping down.

"How great would it be if everyone could be like you?" Mr. Truman sighed.

Then he laughed again, "I heard that some people complained very much to me, thinking that I harmed their interests?"

Lynch asked without any worries, "Is it just 'some people'?"
