Chapter 2261

Commonwealth politicians love power because it gets them most of what they want.

Capitalists are keen on wealth, because wealth is almost omnipotent in this world.

Different people have different choices, and the Lieutenant General chose wealth.

Lynch sent him back later, and as soon as he got back to the hotel, other people who hadn't slept took the initiative to visit him.

He said he couldn't sleep and wanted to chat, but every officer who knocked on the door of the Lieutenant General's room for this reason finally smiled heartily.

It didn't take long, almost all those who should come and those who could come were all there.

"I know what you care about. I talked about these issues with Lynch just now."

"We only need to invest manpower and funds in the construction of the missile force..."

At this time, a major general raised his hand and interrupted His Excellency the Lieutenant General. His Excellency Lieutenant General did not feel unhappy about being offended.

He nodded politely and signaled the major general to continue.

"Our military expenditure is a bit difficult. I paid a little attention today. Their investment in missile research and development is a super project of [-] million yuan."

"You know, we may not have that much money in our hands..."

Life in the Western Military Region is a little harder now than during the war. In addition to various daily expenses, there are only more than 1 million funds left to mobilize.

It looks like... that's not a small amount of money, but it's actually not that much!
It is impossible for any budget to be completed perfectly, so when the budget is submitted, it is often reported 20.00% more.

But even so, accidents sometimes happen, such as the federal military sex scandal.

Congress will not use the money from the treasury to wipe the ass of the military. No matter how much this money ends up, it is an unplanned expenditure.

The Western Military Region also had some troublesome issues, but fortunately they solved them in a timely manner without spending too much money.

After all the calculations, there are probably more than 4000 million discretionary money left in the account of the military region.

Most of the money has already been arranged, and if they want to cooperate with Lynch and the others in terms of funds, it will inevitably affect other plans.

Your Excellency the Lieutenant General shook his head slightly, "Lynch will ask Blackstone Bank to loan us the money first, and then we will add this money when we apply for the budget to Congress next year."

At first, the Lieutenant General didn't understand the twists and turns, but after Lynch kindly reminded him, he realized that this long-term cooperative relationship would allow the military region to ask for an extra part of the budget every year.

Any way to get money is a good way for the lieutenant general.

They also want the latest tanks, the latest aircraft, and even a fleet of their own.

Then he talked about the new military region, "Lin Qi also promised us to promote the implementation of the new overseas military region as soon as possible. Once it is implemented, there is a high probability that we will split up some people and rush to Nagalil to form a new military region. .”

Speaking of this, the Lieutenant General is a little excited, "Because Nagalil has a long coastline, there is a high probability that we will form an overseas fleet!"

With a fleet, you can do business at sea.

The Eastern Naval District can make a living by providing reliable escort services for the maritime trade of those big capitalists every year, not to mention that they can also do a little business themselves.

Smuggling is always a huge profit. Ordinary people will have a lot of problems with smuggling, but smuggling by the Federal Navy is not a problem!
Not to mention that the Navy can sometimes serve as an anti-smuggling team, confiscate some "stolen items" for any reason, and then auction them to the outside world, with the proceeds used for military operations.

The line between good guys and bad guys is not so clear these days.

These words were just the emotion of the lieutenant general, and to get some wind out of it, but soon other people in the room realized that the Western Military Region was going to "separate".

There is no doubt that Nagalil is definitely a good place, not to mention the extra military expenses.

Everyone didn't say anything or ask anything on the surface, but they had already made a decision in their hearts and tried to mobilize themselves.

With this in mind, everyone's next chat will be a little absent-minded.

After the Lieutenant General said what he knew, he let them all leave.

Then, he called another lieutenant general who was staying in the Western Military Region.

The call was quickly connected. His Excellency the Lieutenant General briefly talked about the income of this trip, and he was very moved.

"The Central-South Military Region and the Eastern Navy can rely on war to rise so quickly, not entirely because of their capabilities."

"We all know that the emergence of aircraft is one of the keys to our control of the initiative in war."

"We didn't fight very well in the early part of the war until a large number of aircraft came into service."

"In addition to this factor, Truman is also a very important factor. He unconditionally supports Peleus and his family, allowing their power and prestige to climb to the current level in the army."

"But there is also good news now, that Lynch can stand with us!"

The left-behind lieutenant general didn't talk a lot, but every word could catch the point.

"You think Lynch is the next Truman?"

"But he is not an official of the federal government, he is just a capitalist."

"I have some doubts whether he can make it this far!"

The rise of the Peleus family and their military region is indeed directly related to Mr. Truman, and this is also the fact that everyone tacitly agrees.

Without a wartime president who had a very reliable relationship with them and unconditionally tilted policies and resources to them, they would not have been able to expand to this point.

His Excellency, the Lieutenant General, gave his own opinion, "Lynch has great influence, in Congress, in political parties and within the federal government."

"I heard that Connor, the core candidate of the Progressive Party, has a very good personal relationship with him. If Connor wins the election, then Lynch can provide us with a chance to face the presidential palace directly!"

The military's peer administrative agency is the Ministry of Defense. Generally speaking, the military does not communicate directly with the president. Of course, it does not mean that there is no such thing, but it does not often do so.

Especially during the time when the Conservative Party was in power, because the Conservative Party was not friendly to the military, the military almost completely cut off communication with the presidential palace.

All communications during this period were conducted through the Ministry of Defense.

After Truman took office, the phone calls from the Peleus family could reach his ears directly, which re-strengthened the relationship between the president and the military.

But this so-called "connection" actually refers to the connection between Mr. Trueman and Peleus and their family, rather than referring to more other armies.

It is because of this relationship that they have what they want, and they quickly surpassed the Western Military Region and the Northern Military Region, which was originally very powerful, in all aspects.

The Northern Military District has been doing smuggling business before, smuggling Marillo tobacco into the federal territory, and even selling some "faulty ordnance" to outsiders.

In addition, occasionally they will have small-scale armed conflicts with some warlords. When there are battles and money to be made, the strength of the Northern Military Region is very strong.

But even so, there is not much difference between the northern military region and the western military region, and the Peleus family is far behind.

The left-behind lieutenant general was silent for a while, "What if Connor can't win the election?"

This is indeed a problem. No one dares to say who will definitely win the election.

Your Excellency the Lieutenant General was silent for a moment, "There will be no accidents. If you are worried, we can place a bet after the result comes out."

"But you also know that at that time, what we can get is far less than what we can get by betting now."

The left-behind lieutenant general hesitated, "Do you know anything?"

Your Excellency the Lieutenant General did not answer immediately, but said, "I will talk about it when I go back..."

In fact, they all knew that apart from Lynch, they had no other choice.

With the current strength, prestige, and status of the South Central Military Region and the Eastern Naval Military Region, even if they don't have any reliable and firm personal relationships with the new president.

On military issues, the new president will still take them as the main subjects of action. In layman's terms, he will regard these two military regions as the entire "military force"!
Two days later, the much-anticipated first hearing was held in the first court of the Bu Paine Supreme Court.

This first court has a very special status in the federation, and the cases tried here can leave a mark in history.

For example, several presidential assassinations, such as serial murders against new immigrants, such as some notorious religious cases.

Every case will push forward the legislative process of the judiciary one step further.

This time, there will be no exception.

Early in the morning, the court was crowded with people, and there were many people besides reporters.

They held up signs with various slogans and stood outside the court to advocate their views. Some of them did not come for the case, simply because there were enough focus of attention here.

Take, for example, a man in feminine attire holding up a "We're Not Different" placard.

What he and the group around him want is more attention from society!

As military vehicles entered through the side door of the court, preparations for the first trial were also under way.

Jaina, as the first victim to stand up, is also the current leader. She was arranged to attend the first trial.

Considering that she has to provide a "template" for the other victimized women in the back and add courage to them, she must perform perfectly enough.

As everyone stood up to show respect for the lifelong justice, the prosecutor began to read the materials of the trial, and at the same time introduced the defendant and the plaintiff to the court.

Jaina sat on the plaintiff's seat, and she glanced at several officers not far away.

These people were the main criminals who hurt her, but not all of them.

Perhaps because of her sensitivity as a soldier, the officers she observed also turned to look at her expressionlessly.

There was no expression or eye contact between the two parties, they just looked at each other flatly, and then looked away.

But their hearts are not peaceful.

This lawsuit will determine their future!
