Chapter 2260

In the low-key private club, Lynch and the lieutenant general just sat down.

The others had returned to rest in the flight research institute's hotel, but the lieutenant general and Lynch left alone.

If you want the Western Military Region to stand on your side, it is not enough to just cooperate in military projects.

It is not just the missile force that can facilitate this cooperation.

On the surface, the concept of the missile force has played a big role, but in fact it is Slem's [-] million additional military subsidies every year.

Three hundred million, this is the real reason why these generals agreed to cooperate.

After all, who could refuse an additional three hundred million?

Even if the money will eventually enter the military's account and its use will be supervised, but there is an extra [-] million in the budget, no matter how stupid people are, they will have a way to turn part of the money that does not belong to them into their own money.

Why are rich people getting richer?
Because some smart people who only drink soup are willing to help these rich people set up a pot to heat the fire, and help them hunt for meat, put it in and cook it for them to eat.

And these smart people, all they need is a thick broth, nothing more.

This will also confuse many people. Since these smart people are so powerful, why don't they eat meat themselves, but only willing to drink soup?

They worked so hard for a year, but most of it was taken away by those people behind the scenes, and they could only get a small part. Isn't this too stupid?
But in fact, these people are the real smart people, because without these meat-eaters, there would be no broth to drink.

Just like the previous situation of Gefla, it is difficult for capitalists to gain a foothold without relying on the nobles. If you don’t help the nobles make money, then you cannot become a capitalist.

You can only be a small merchant selling small commodities, because that's the rule.

In this world, "prey" is actually everywhere, but you are not qualified to hunt, you can only watch these prey drooling, and you may even be one of them.

Only with a big shot behind you can you be qualified to hunt and enjoy the benefits of changing from a prey to a hunter!
What needs to be paid is to put the meat into the mouth of the big man and drink some broth by himself.

But even if it is just a mouthful of broth, the nutrition it contains exceeds the maximum value that a prey can obtain in a lifetime!
"I have already talked with Governor Catherine, and the governors of the other two states are also in contact. If there is no accident, Congress will hold a hearing on this before the end of the year."

"Overseas military regions are not something that can be decided in a few words. There must be appropriate reasons, motives, and the consent of Congress."

"Congress is not the problem, the problem is that we need an opportunity."

There were only the two of them in the room. His Excellency the Lieutenant General looked around suspiciously. Lynch knew what he was worried about.

"It's very safe here. Before we arrived, we had been checked by my people."

The Lieutenant General smiled and nodded, "Be careful, the public opinion is very strong now, and my identity is also very sensitive."

Everyone is "falling the army". Of course, public opinion has actually changed a little bit. From simply blaming the military, to now under some guidance, attacks against Peleus and the family behind him are planned. .

But the lieutenant general didn't know that the limelight on Bu Paine's side became very fast, and the extent to which the west was affected was not serious. After all, even if the female soldiers enlisted, they would not go to the west to join the army.

Female soldiers are mainly concentrated in the central and southern military regions, and there are not many female soldiers in the eastern naval region.

A little bit in the north, but not much.

So the lieutenant general's worries are actually a bit superfluous.

He paused, then said, "Do you have any plans?"

Lynch nodded, "You don't have to worry about these things. After Congress is convened, you must express your position quickly and firmly."

"Otherwise, these benefits may end up in the hands of others. After all, you are not the only one in the federal army!"

Your Excellency the Lieutenant General pursed his lips, "I see, we will not back down on this matter!"

He understood what Lynch meant, and he was talking about the possibility of competition between the South Central Military District and the Eastern Naval Military District, even if their asses are shit now.

After all, this is related to real power. For these powers, they may take some actions, such as quickly admitting all the charges and then dealing with these officers according to the needs of public opinion and public opinion.

Then go to compete for the project of overseas military regions.

"I believe in your determination!" Lynch gave a positive response.

This response is also necessary.

He went on to say, "I have communicated with Governor Catherine that they can afford the [-] million additional military expenditure, but at the same time we also have a request."

"We have the right to supervise the use of this part of the military expenditure, and according to our previous talks, under the same conditions, we will be the first to use the military equipment we provide."

The lieutenant general did not answer immediately, but began to think that the use of military expenditure is actually a very vague concept.

An exercise that does not actually happen can consume hundreds of thousands of millions of ammunition, which is why there are questions about this part of the congressional proposal.

No one knows where the money was spent.

No one knew if their military drills were actually firing or if it was just a cookout.

No one knows that the ammunition really left the warehouse and was consumed, or it was just moved from one warehouse to another, and by the way, there was an extra military expenditure.

If Lynch's people were to oversee how the military spending was spent, it would be difficult for them to get their hands on it.

But it is a bit inappropriate to reject Lynch because of this. After all, this is an additional military expenditure of [-] million.

I don't know if Lynch saw his thoughts, or if he had a plan from the beginning, after the lieutenant general hesitated for a while, Lynch lowered his voice slightly.

Although the room had been searched meticulously, he lowered his voice.

This will give people a sufficient sense of security.

"5.00%."

The lieutenant general froze for a moment, "What?"

"I do not quite understand!"

But then he reacted, with a strange expression on his face.

What is 5.00% of [-] million?
His math is not very good, and he was a little annoyed that he joined the army early without studying hard, so that he couldn't figure out what 5.00% of [-] million was!
At this time, he was embarrassed to ask Lynch for a pen and paper to calculate this number, so he could only make a calculation in his mind in a daze.

700?
Is it a little less?
He felt that this number was a little less. After all, after the establishment of the new military region, there were quite a few people who wanted to share the money.

The people on the side of the new military region have to share the money, and the people on the western military region should also share the money.

They can't do things well in the new military region, but they don't get any benefits, right?

If they had such great and unselfish thoughts, they would not be sitting here now.

Lynch's eyes can see through people's hearts, "500 million is not too little!"

500 million?

Not 700 million?
The lieutenant general's expression was a bit embarrassed, what the hell, it turned out to be 500 million, I knew it was so!

But he couldn't show that he didn't speak out because of a wrong calculation just now, he had to maintain his current attitude.

Lynch added, "Up to six percent, any more will be easy to reveal."

"Give me a list..."

The purpose of Lynch's supervision of military expenditure is also to prevent these people from picking up their bowls for dinner and dropping them after eating.

As long as there is monitoring of the movement of the money, if the Western Military Region and the New Military Region want to do something that should not be done, they must carefully consider whether it is worth it.

Once the news of military fraud comes out, Congress will continue to impose restrictions on the military. Even if Lynch's request is a little too much, they can only hold their noses and admit it.

At least suffer a small loss, the money is still there.

If you don't want to suffer, not only will you lose your money, but you may lose your rights as well.

At this time, the lieutenant general didn't think so far, but was thinking about how much the extra one percent would be.

It must be more than fifteen million, but how much more?

He was a little confused, and then began to think about how to divide the money.

He and another lieutenant general must share a part of it, one million is the minimum, so there is still...

Damn math!
"I'll have to talk it over with him, you know I can only be half the master."

He found a reason to evade the question of being sensitive to numbers, and he would feel ashamed if the truth was revealed.

Lynch nodded, "You need to be more cautious."

"Except for this part, any military equipment you buy from me in our agreement, including things other than military equipment."

"As long as the money is spent, I will return another [-]% to you and another lieutenant general."

"The money will be in your account very safely, and you don't need to worry about any legal problems with it."

"This is also a small gift to deepen our cooperation with each other. I hope you will like it."

Two one percent, the lieutenant general can still figure it out.

He thought for about 2 minutes and realized that one percent of one billion is one million, and two percent is two million.

As for the percentage of [-] million, that is a problem of another dimension, and has nothing to do with him.

As long as he knows that for every 100 million military supplies he orders, he will get a [-] million benefit fee, which makes his breathing quicken.

The Western Military Region does have its own "businesses", but these businesses do not bring them too intuitive profits.

It can only be said that everyone's life is slightly better than not doing business, just a little.

After all, the economy in the west is underdeveloped, and it is not a financial center. The land is vast and sparsely populated. It is not bad to be able to do what it is now.

But now it's different, 100 million has a benefit of [-] million, and the budget of the Western Military Region has been reduced to [-] billion after the war.

The part that can be used for "purchase" is less than [-] million.

After such a comparison, the lieutenant general felt that it was necessary to establish this overseas military region!
For the safety of the Federation!
