Chapter 2230

Lynch doesn't have so many handles for people to catch.

He almost never avoids tax legally. Yes, many capitalists avoid tax legally, such as using some federal government policies to reduce the amount of tax they should pay.

But he never does this. Except for accepting the tax exemption for charity, he will not take the initiative to reduce the taxes he should pay through various methods.

So when it comes to taxes, no one can find trouble with Lynch.

And the tax issue is the big killer that capitalists are most afraid of. When Lynch blocked this point, he was basically not afraid of any investigation.

Sue him with the Brothers Grimm?

Who the hell stipulates that the crime of the guardian and the dependent must be related?
In front of federal law, everyone is a "natural person with independent personality." To put it simply, everyone is an individual. Social relationships such as family cannot be completely included in legal joint relationships.

Parents who commit crimes have nothing to do with their children, just as children who commit crimes have nothing to do with their parents or other relatives.

Even if the Brothers Grimm's criminal evidence can be found, what does it have to do with Lynch?
As for the others, it is even less likely to have much to do with Lynch.

He almost always operates within the confines of the law and almost never crosses the line, and no one would have as much evidence as he does.

Moreover, what Mr. Truman left for Peleus was only for him to be wary of capitalism and the more uncontrolled expansion of capitalists after the war, and to act at the worst time.

Who can tell what is the worst time and what is the best time?
If the presidential palace does not sign and Congress does not agree, the military cannot move.

And the more the situation is like now, the more restrained they are.

Peleus' grandfather thought for a while, "Get in touch with him, I want to talk to him."

Peleus hesitated, but agreed anyway.

The next day's voting is still from morning to night, and the later the vote, the more difficult it will be, and the harder it will be to get a result on the spot.

These proposals, including the rights of the military budget committee, did not form an advantage in the three votes, so they continued to drag down.

Some members of Congress who have ties to the military are also working hard.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for the military to directly have any entanglements with congressmen, but the bad thing is that the military and the military-industrial complex are in the same group.

Almost all military-industrial groups have a very strong relationship with the military. The military uses capitalist forces such as military-industrial groups to influence the attitudes of members of Congress.

For these MPs who act as spokespersons for the political interests of the military-industrial group, they have to stand for the ideas of the people behind them.

The voting was dull, and the repeated invalidation was equally dull, and the atmosphere was serious at the same time.

Everyone is watching those who stand against them, trying to persuade the other side to reverse their position during the break.

Later, Lynch received a call from Grandpa Peleus, who asked Lynch to meet.

Peleus' grandfather is also in the Bupain security area. Although this is not the largest military base in the Central Military Region, it is the most important military base in the entire Central Military Region.

First of all, it is responsible for defending the safety of Bu Paine and the Special Zone, and is the last military defense line of the Federation.

At the same time, it is located in the central area of ​​the federation, very close to the central government of the federation, and it will be more convenient to work.

Lynch was a little surprised that Peleus' grandfather personally asked him to meet him. He originally thought that another middleman might come to talk to him.

On the surface, it seems that he and Peleus have not completely torn apart, but in fact they have been torn apart a long time ago, and they have been torn deeply.

So even if Peleus asked him to meet, he would not go.

Unexpectedly, the middleman turned out to be Peleus' grandfather.

Lynch thought for a while and agreed, and the appointment was made at a high-end cafe in the central neighborhood of Bupen.

Federal people like to drink coffee, probably because of the poor food culture, they add almost everything to coffee.

Milk, cream, fruit juice, wine, even...garlic juice.

It is said that there are also chopped basil and chives added to the coffee, who knows how many combinations there are.

It seems that as long as there are enough combinations, the quality of the cafe will be high.

Of course, this is also related to the geographical location of the cafe, as well as the brand and decoration.

One day in advance, the cafe was booked out. On the day the two met, the cafe had put up the sign of "Closed Business" early and was not open to the public.

In the entire cafe, except for a small number of staff, there is no one else.

Lynch's bodyguards and the general's bodyguards were outside the cafe.

When two cups of heavily roasted coffee with a little milk and sugar were served, the two began their first conversation.

"I heard there was some misunderstanding between you and that fellow Peleus?" The old general tried to resolve this "misunderstanding".

Lynch's lethality in the capital field is too great, and he has heard that the guy in front of him is in contact with people from the Western Military Region. It is self-evident what Lynch wants to do.

What he can't get from Peleus, he can get or not get from the Western Military Region.

This is not a good thing, for him, and for the future vision of the whole family.

Lynch stirred the coffee, and the milk diluted the color of the coffee, turning the burnt color into a dark brown.

Heavily roasted coffee beans have a lot of fat, which makes the coffee aroma stronger, and there is no sourness, just a bit more bitter.

The milk neutralizes the bitterness and makes it easier to drink, while the sugar cubes enhance the flavor of the coffee.

When stirred, the aroma of the coffee is so tangy that one can't help but want to take a sip.

He didn't look at the old general, but just stared at the coffee in front of him, "There is no misunderstanding between us."

The old general laughed for a while, "Truman is your mutual friend, I thought you would become good friends too."

Lynch picked up the coffee and took a sip. It has to be said that the coffee with more fat tastes better. The only drawback is bitterness.

But bitterness is the most attractive thing for mature people. Not many mature middle-aged and elderly people will be attracted by sweetness or sourness.

They prefer ordinary taste, or bitter taste, especially the aftertaste after bitter taste, just like the beauty of life.

Good coffee beans, roasted just right, the brewed coffee is also delicious.

He put down his coffee cup and looked at the old general, "If he regarded me as his friend, he wouldn't have sent people to sneak into my house many times to steal important information from my vault."

"Your Excellency, if you think this is what a friend should do, then clearly we cannot agree on these matters."

It was the first time for the old general to hear these things, but Peleus didn't tell him, so he frowned.

This accident made him unable to continue to control the rhythm and direction of the conversation. He could only sigh, "I'm sorry, I don't know about this matter. I apologize to you."

Lynch shook his head, saying it didn't matter.

The old general was silent for a while, "Is it possible that there is nothing at all?"

"After all we have a better foundation than anyone else."

Lynch asked, "Why do you think so?"

"Have you considered what he would do to me if he got what he wanted?"

"The only reason he can act like nothing happened after he's failed is because he hasn't gotten what he wants yet."

"If you still think it's a misunderstanding and want to resolve the misunderstanding, I don't think you can and don't need to."

The old general had a headache, and Peleus's move was too extreme, which made him unable to convince Lynch, but he still wanted to give it a try.

"What would you think if, I mean, if you could come up with some conditions that you think would clear up the misunderstanding?"

Lynch picked up the coffee again, this time he took a big sip, and licked his lips after drinking, "It tastes really good, Your Excellency the General."

"As for your question, I don't think it has any meaning or value."

"We all know that he is your grandson, your son's child, your blood relative, and even the future."

"No matter what solution I propose, I can't avoid more conflicts and differences with you. The short-lived peace will only multiply the pressure."

"I think the current situation is actually quite good. We are doing what we want to do, and trying to stand to the end with our own abilities."

As he spoke, he leaned forward and got up, "Thank you for your hospitality, Your Excellency General, I have a meeting later, so I will take my leave first."

After he finished speaking, he bowed slightly to show his respect for the old man's status, and then strode away.

The old general sat on the sofa, looked at the empty seat opposite him for a while, and then took a sip of coffee.

The taste of coffee that is slightly cold is much worse. Oily things are always the most delicious when they are hot, and so is coffee.

He put down the cup expressionlessly and shook his head slightly. He didn't know whether he was disappointed with Peleus, Lynch, or the coffee that Lynch gave a good evaluation.

In a negotiation doomed to failure, Lynch wants to pull Peleus off the horse, and the person who wants to pull off the horse is the grandson of the old general.

Even if he agreed and didn't show it at first, Lynch actually offended their family to death.

Why try to fantasize now that you are offended to death?
He is not a fantasist, not an idealist, so this meeting was doomed before it even started.

He came to talk, just to respect the status of the old general, that's all.

After returning home, the old general called the head of the Army Intelligence Bureau and gave him an order.

Do everything possible to collect evidence that may have something to do with Lynch.

At the same time, he also called the presidents of some military-industrial groups, hoping that the congressmen they supported could withstand the pressure from Congress and resolutely refuse to pass the reform proposal on the military system...
