Chapter 2229

In this world, not many people could withstand a comprehensive investigation, including himself.

Because people's desires are endless, and no one knows whether they will make some mistakes at some point, but they have not discovered things.

No one can clearly determine whether every decision they make is appropriate.

So no one can stand the investigation!
Legal issues, moral issues, these are all issues.

The direction of the media is becoming polarized. Some media and reporters believe that the military has sacrificed a lot in the war and should no longer examine the military with the same eyes as prisoners.

He also advocated self-inspection of the army and called on people to believe in the integrity of the army.

The military is a special institution, and it should also continue to maintain its independence and be directly accountable to the president, rather than allowing the Department of Defense to have the power to restrain them.

However, some media and public opinion believe that even if the army won the war after paying a heavy price for the Federation, it cannot completely abandon the supervision of the military because of this.

If someone can do whatever they want as long as they do meritorious deeds, the federation should be finished in a short time.

And the military should take the initiative to cooperate with this review. Only in this way can they prove to the originator of this issue and to the society that they are clean.

All allegations are false accusations.

There are quite a few supporters of both views, and it looks like... that's a good thing, but it's not.

On weekends, at Peleus' house, where his father and grandfather are.

In addition to their family, there are also some relatives and members of interest groups who have a direct relationship with them.

Now it is still decided by Peleus' grandfather. His biological grandfather and mother are the generals of the Federation Army and one of the two generals of the Federation Army.

There is also an army general in the Ministry of Defense, who was previously the commander of the northern military region.

There are some power transactions behind this. After he "passed" the position of the commander of the Northern Military Region to the next commander, he entered the Ministry of Defense as an executive of the Ministry of Defense and was also promoted to the rank of general.

A general with real power and a civilian general of the Ministry of National Defense are two completely different concepts.

Peleus' grandfather had a bad expression on his face. During this period of time, some media reports and pressure from public opinion were directly accumulating on these generals.

The federal government actually spent more than 660 billion military expenditures before and after the war, including budgetary and temporary applications.

When the war broke out, the power of the military expanded without limit. At the same time, Mr. Truman, the president at the time, was the spokesperson of the military. Congress dared not and could not stop it on these issues.

After all, for the Federal Congress at that time, it was just a decoration.

As long as Mr. Truman signs the application for military expenditures, the treasury will directly allocate funds, and there is no need for Congress to approve it.

According to the provisions of the Federal Charter, the president has the highest centralized power during the war!
A president who came out of the military and the military in the war, this fucking is a super steel hedgehog.

Mr. Truman intends to ease some differences and contradictions between him and Congress, so Congress has not been completely shut down, and some documents are still sent to Congress for their discussion.

But those people in Congress may not take this set!

No one has brought up these things before, so naturally no one thinks that they have nothing to do to actively seek trouble.

But after someone brought it up, everyone really wanted to know where the money was spent.

"Public opinion is very unfavorable to us, and the current president is not Truman, he is a member of the Conservative Party."

"He's just going to turn a blind eye to the injustice we're being treated."

"For us now, we are facing the second greatest threat after Penteo's army!"

"If we're not careful, we'll be in big trouble!"

The words of Peleus' grandfather made everyone's hearts sink. About 660 billion of the 280 billion military expenditure was used for soldiers' salaries.

Sound scary?

But the fact is that, if it were not for the rapid consumption of soldiers in the later period of the war, the cost may need to be more.

Of the remaining nearly 400 billion miles, there are more than 300 billion that can be checked, including the purchase, maintenance, and supply of consumables of various military equipment.

In fact, countries such as Gaevra also provided the federation with approximately 60 billion federal soles in military expenditures, but these military expenditures were not included in the federal military budget and applications.

From the perspective of the outside world in this war, the federal army spent about 740 billion to 750 billion federal sols.

Of the 660 billion that can be traced back, and come from the federal domestic funds, only a little over 640 billion can be found out.

There are more than one billion, as well as funds supported by other countries, which cannot be found out!

Where the money went, no one can tell.

In fact, this money may not necessarily be greedy by the top military officials themselves, it is more likely to be some unaccounted for losses, or greedy people in the process of changing hands.

This is not to say that the top executives of the federal military do not have corruption problems. They also have problems, but their problems are not entirely due to these problems.

In the past, no one would check military expenditures without incident, and it was thankless, but now that the public opinion is advocating, it has become difficult to handle.

Everyone is very silent, and their faces are also ugly. As the main theater, if there is no problem, everyone will have no problem.

But once the problem is found, many people will be implicated.

Interest does not appear in social relations as an independent individual, it is like a chain, connecting many nodes, forming a track for the transmission of interests.

Peleus' grandfather took out his pipe and took two puffs, "The most important thing now is that you need to check yourself when you go back."

"I know some people have a little problem with taking things that don't belong to them."

"In the past, everyone could pretend not to see this kind of thing, but not now."

"Find out your own problems, and then we will consider other problems."

Everyone nodded and said yes, after losing Mr. Truman, the military actually lost its most solid support.

If Mr. Truman is still in office, who would dare to question the military casually?
It is a pity that after Mr. Truman left, no one can protect the military from the wind and rain in the political arena.

This also made the people in the room once again have the idea of ​​digging out a second Mr. Truman.

"General, if we conduct self-examination now, will it arouse objections from some people below?"

It was a major general who spoke, and he was also a young and strong faction in their faction. If nothing else, they would be the main help for Peleus in the future.

Peleus' grandfather frowned, "You can't even control the people under you, isn't this general too incompetent?"

"What we need is to dig out those issues and throw them out, rather than thinking about whether anyone will be disgusted."

"I have been thinking about how to reduce the disarmament indicators on our side before, and your words reminded me."

"If anyone objected too strongly, send them home..."

After everyone else left, the three of them returned to the study alone.

"I remember you have a good relationship with Lynch because of Truman, but now he doesn't seem to be on our side." The old general didn't say something just now.

The military does not mean that there is no political environment. The military is actually similar to the political arena, but it is relatively simple.

But that doesn't mean there isn't.

There are also political strife and political struggles here.

The old general could tell at a glance that there were some people like Lynch in the mainstream public opinion who were adding fuel to the flames. Lin Qi had always been in a cooperative relationship with the military. He was curious as to why Lynch would side with the military this time. on the opposite side.

You know, his younger brother, who is now the admiral, has had face-to-face contact with Lynch.

He also said that Lynch is a very good young man who can be properly contacted to increase understanding and deepen friendship.

Coupled with the relationship between Lynch and Truman, this makes it difficult for the old general to imagine why Lynch has also become an "enemy" of the military.

Peleus didn't dare to hide anything, so he told some things, including his suspicion that Truman had left something important for Lynch, something so important that he could not step down at any time.

This also caused Peleus' father and grandfather to fall into deep thought.

If you are an outsider, it is difficult to know the way these high-level military officials make money.

For example, the simplest bullets, the consumption of this kind of consumables is actually not as large as imagined, so each military region will maintain a certain consumption.

But sometimes they didn't consume it, but reported a number, and then the seemingly empty car with bullets went back and forth a few times, and the ammunition in the magazine was filled with bullets.

The money for buying bullets can fall into the pockets of generals.

Loss, scrapping, maintenance, there are too many places to start.

Mr. Trueman came out of the military, and it is indeed possible that he knows how senior military officials make money.

If he really left Lynch with something as Peleus said, it would be really difficult to handle.

The old general pondered for a while, then asked, "You said Truman left you a letter, is there any way to deal with Lynch in the letter?"

Peleus shook his head, "The above reminded me to pay attention to the development of Lynch and some big capitalists. Once they influence the political arena too much, the army will become the last guarantee to ensure that the federal government will not be completely destroyed."

"But when dealing with Lynch, he just reminded me to pay attention and take special measures when necessary, but he didn't tell me what special measures were, nor did he provide additional content."

The military cannot interfere with the functioning of society. This is written into the charter. Even if he has evidence in his hand, Lynch must be investigated or arrested through agencies such as the FBI and the Security Council.

The military has neither the conditions nor the qualifications to directly attack Lynch.

This is also the reason why he is so distressed now. The more unfavorable the public opinion is to the military, the less he can rashly attack Lynch.

The current passive situation makes Peleus very uncomfortable!
