Chapter 2157

Truman...

Peleus sighed softly.

This person has a very special place in his heart.

Truman's grandfather was a major at the highest level, and in the eyes of many people, a major should be a very prestigious officer.

But in the Federation, the major is actually like that, but Truman's grandfather is different.

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

As a result, Mr. Truman's family has a relationship with the top military.

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

In addition, the ancestors of Truman's ancestors also participated in the suppression of indigenous riots, so there is nothing to be picky about their nature.

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

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

They spare no effort to promote their own people, and they will not take the risk of contacting those who are not yet sure about their position.

Mr. Truman's father retired as a colonel, working as an intelligence analyst and staff officer in the Army Staff.

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

Coupled with his own business and his father's connections, in the end Mr. Truman's father successfully squeezed into the circle of high-level military officials.

Although they are fringe people, they are also high-level military personnel, and they can already gain access to some real power.

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

Army Nursery.

Army No. [-] Primary School.

Federal Army High School.

Federal Army Academy...

Those who can be trained according to this set are basically the core figures of the army in the future, such as Mr. Truman, such as Peleus.

There is a little difference in age between the two, but they live very close together, and they can play together at ordinary times.

Peleus' grandfather, father, and uncle were almost all important generals in the federal military, and there were more than six generals among them.

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

Since he was born, he has carried the hopes of many people.

In that environment, those who belonged to him would unite with him, including Mr. Truman, who was much older than him.

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

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

When Peleus is a little older, they will step into the ranks of generals almost at the same time, and start a new round of internal struggle within the army.

But soon everyone discovered a problem.

Except for the fact that the federal military has proven themselves in the massacre of the natives, they have almost no record to show!

Not even a better bandit suppressor!
There were no large-scale war results, and the foreign policy of the federal government was conservative. The then ruling Conservative Party government decided that the United Nations would weaken the military.

Part of the benefit 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 control of the military by the federal government and Congress can be further strengthened.

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

It just so happened that Mr. President at that time also had a similar idea. 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 the political circle and seek political support for the military.

At that time, Mr. Truman was not the only one who entered the political circle, and many similar people entered the political circle.

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 intervene in military issues.

Overall, the plan was a success.

Because Mr. Truman ran for president and won the election, with his strong support, the Federation has become stronger than ever.

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

Even the military industrial group is rapidly expanding and expanding.

If there is no accident, after Mr. Truman leaves office, he will return to the military and start his military career again as a federal major general.

And became one of the important generals in the military.

But it is a pity that he was assassinated two years before the success of the whole plan.

In fact, in the middle and late stages, Mr. Truman and Peleus already had some small differences on some issues.

Peleus is concerned about whether the military is independent and has the right to speak, but after Mr. Truman handled more government affairs, he began to turn his spearhead and aimed at capitalism!

To be right with capitalism in a capitalist country... Honestly speaking, no one can do this kind of thing except idealists, and no one will give them the opportunity and right to do this kind of thing!
The military and capital forces, especially military-industrial groups, cooperate very closely, 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 enormously!
This just made Mr. Truman feel uneasy. In fact, he was wary of NHI and the military industrial group, not just because the strength of these groups grew too fast during the war.

In fact, what he is really wary of is that the military 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 ordinary daily necessities anytime and anywhere to compete with capitalists for the market, and the military is capitalizing!

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

Looking at it now, his worry was actually necessary, but unfortunately, he couldn't get anyone's support.

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

"We've got some evidence..."

He was talking about the matter of the Minister of Security. The Minister of Security was almost silenced, but he ran out and was finally caught by Lynch's men.

Lynch sent the people directly to the military. With the military's intervention, those people didn't dare to try to silence the evidence other than destroying the evidence more actively.

I'm afraid I'm getting impatient with the military.

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 dead ghost from death, which is within the consortium's acceptance range.

Lynch also sighed softly. Although both of them were sighing, they were thinking about different things. "It seems that there is no result in a short time."

With so many important figures involved, there will definitely be a compromise of interests.

Sometimes life is like this, you know it's not right, but there's no other way for you to do it.

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

The two entered into each other's silent time again.

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, Lynch couldn't help laughing twice.

And this laughter aroused the curiosity of Peleus.

"Think of anything interesting?"

Lynch nodded and took a sip of coffee, looking relaxed.

"You know, Truman has been writing to himself. He may have a premonition that he will be in danger."

"I don't know how many letters he wrote, and although he has left us, he still left us some trouble!"

The "trouble" in Lynch's mouth refers to the mutual distrust caused by Mr. Truman writing letters alone!
He can write to Lynch, he can write to Peleus, but he doesn't tell them whether they have confessed to each other.

This also made it possible for them to suspect each other, and even if they had doubts about it, it would be difficult to decipher his last resort.

Because they don't know what Mr. Truman said to them, whether he mentioned himself, and whether he talked about other core interests!
And it is impossible for Lynch and Peleus, or even more, to exchange letters.

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

This prevents him from having an open talk with Lynch with "true evidence"!
At this time, Lynch's words made Peleus feel a little emotional, "Did he leave you a letter?"

Lynch smiled and didn't speak, but at this moment, this attitude made Peleus think that his guess was correct.

After all, Mr. Truman also left a letter for himself, and as his most important supporter during the federal government, Lynch may naturally have a separate letter for him.

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

Lynch's pupils shrank slightly, almost imperceptibly!
The human way of thinking is a wonderful thing. It will bring known information into the direction of thinking to speculate on the unknown.

When the known content is 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 Mr. Truman talked about himself in the letter left to Peleus, and it was not a good thing!
