Chapter 2279

The letter left by Mr. Truman caused irreconcilable conflicts between Peleus and Lynch.

And before Mr. Truman died, he had been working on the purification of the army.

The current military is said to be an independent institution, but it actually does not appear to be independent at all.

The military has its own factories, its own production workshops, and holds quite a few shares in military-industrial groups.

They also maintain close relationships with some large capital interest groups and provide these enterprises with military assistance to a certain extent.

For example, dispatching warships to escort the Navy Group!

What made them do this, in the final analysis, was a matter of interest.

The wages of federal soldiers are not high. In fact, it should be said that the wages of all industries in the Federation except the financial industry are not high, and they are all superimposed according to the standard of the minimum hourly wage law.

Even at the level of a general, it only costs about [-] yuan a month.

It is obviously impossible to say that it is not enough. They do not need to spend extra money for food, clothing, housing and transportation. The 2000 yuan is their net income.

But if you say that 2000 yuan is enough, that is bullshit!

People must socialize in this world, and it is impossible for a general of the Federation to socialize with a homeless person on the side of the road.

The objects they socialize with are either soldiers of the same level or big capitalists in society.

The income of a general who holds military power in his hands is not as high as that of a capitalist, which makes many officers more or less unbalanced.

They defend their homes and the country, they sacrifice and dedicate themselves, but let the people in the rear stand on top of them in terms of wealth!
In addition, the production of some military equipment is not complicated at present, and the influence of environmental factors.

A huge interest group with the military at its core is rapidly rising!

The military, the military-industrial complex, members of Congress representing the interests of the military and the military-industrial complex!

They even created a president who leaned towards the military before!

Mr. Truman also gradually realized that such a huge interest group had caused unpredictable and very dangerous consequences to the security of the Federation, and only then began to try to break them up!
He wants the military to maintain its purity, and the rest is a game for capitalists and politicians.

But once they join the forces of the military, this group of people will faintly have the ability to turn the tables!
Politicians can provide reasons for their coups that are in line with people's values, and military personnel can instinctively and quickly arm the army and provide them with strong economic support.

And the army is the simplest and most brutal violent organization. After they have security, they only need to obey orders!
Inside the military, the Peleus family also recognized this, but they couldn't refuse.

After all, who would dislike having too much power and wealth in their hands?
Thinking of what Mr. Truman was doing before his death, the Peleus family fell into silence.

They already understood the reason why Lynch and Peleus broke up. There is not much difference between admitting and not admitting this kind of thing.

Just like Peleus would not admit that the letter Mr. Truman left him made him vigilant, or even deal with Lynch.

Lynch said that too, but did Peleus believe it?
If he told Lynch that there were indeed those things in the letter, would Lynch really feel relieved of him?
Will it make him more vigilant against him and the military's power?

This is a deadlock, unless someone "quits" unconditionally, it will not be untied!

Several people thought about it for a long time, but there was no good solution, so they could only do this first, let Peleus go to talk to the president, and see if he could persuade the president to send their people.

Mr. President also didn't realize that he suddenly became important before retiring.

As soon as I arrived at the office in the morning, people from the Ministry of National Defense came over and submitted two applications, expressing their willingness to go to Nagalil to suppress the riots.

At the same time, Peleus also called his desk, hoping to meet him...

More than an hour later, Peleus appeared outside the Oval Office wearing his brigadier uniform.

After the visitor left, the secretary notified him that he could go in.

The neatly dressed Peleus held his military cap, walked to the center of the office and shook hands with Mr. President, and then sat on the sofa.

He has maintained a very good military style, which is also commendable.

"Mr. President, the purpose of my request this time is related to the ongoing riots in Nagalil."

Mr. President nodded slightly, motioning for him to continue.

Peleus had done his homework before coming, "No one or anything can match the importance of Nagalil to the Federation. A stable Nagalil society is also very important."

"I don't know much about economics, but I know that Nagalil is strategically important, and once we lose control of Nagalil, it will become chaotic."

"The most powerful deterrent to the Penteio military group will be lost!"

"This is very likely to cause some unforeseen consequences, and it is even possible that they will invade Nagalil!"

"So it is very necessary to resolve the riots in Nagalil as soon as possible, and I am here because of this."

"On behalf of the South Central Military Region, I applied to go to Nagalil to suppress the riots. It will take no more than a week at most, and we will be able to restore Nagalil to its former calm!"

The feeling when Peleus met Mr. President this time was different from before.

Can he feel that there seems to be an additional barrier between him and Mr. President?
He didn't know what was going on, so his attitude, the way he spoke, was careful.

Mr. President did not express anything after listening, but just nodded, "The stability of Nagalil is indeed very important, and I will seriously consider this matter."

"Anything else?"

Peleus was suddenly at a loss for words, he shook his head, "No more."

The President took a sip of coffee, chatted a few words about the scandal, then got up, shook hands with Peleus, and sent him away.

As for whether to agree or not, he said that he would carefully consider it!

After seeing off Peleus, who was clearly out of state, Mr. President returned to his chair and sat down.

He lit a cigarette and thought of the "entertainment" last night.

He, Lynch, Connor, and the lieutenant general of the Western Military Region.

They didn't have any obvious target topics when they got together, they just sat and chatted about the international situation, domestic scandals, and the riots in Nagalil.

It looks like nothing was talked about, but in fact, a lot of things have been talked about.

The federal government, capitalists, and the federal military are forming a tight new interest group.

Mr. President is heartbroken!

Although power is good, he has already lost the opportunity to hold power, and now it is the most important thing for him to be able to join such an interest group.

On the contrary, Peleus is no longer on his list of choices. The families on both sides of Peleus' parents plus the core capitalists of the military-industrial group already have a complete and well-organized interest group.

If you join at this time, you won't even get a slightly more important position, and you can only be at the bottom of the entire interest group.

On the contrary, it is Lynch's new interest group. Once he joins, at least it is a middle-level and high-level group.

And he won't be ruled out for the next eight years or more.

At the same time, this interest group will continue to expand and expand!
What he got was far more than those who followed Peleus!
In the past, there was no way to stand with the most powerful military, even if it was to drink some soup.

But now that there are better choices, why choose people like Peleus?
The President glanced at the topmost document sent by the Ministry of Defense.

After opening and reading a few pages, I threw it in the trash can.

He can't sign the operation order of the Western Military Region yet. He needs to wait, wait for a signal!
A signal from Nagalil.

After all, Nagalil is a sovereign and independent country. As an ally of Nagalil, the Federation has no reason to send troops when Nagalil itself does not make a sound.

Moreover, the domestic economy has not been fatally affected by the riots in Nagalil, and rashly signing orders will only make the people dissatisfied with themselves.

So he has to wait a while until the situation continues to ferment!

For three days in a row, the Federation maintained an attitude of "high attention" to the riots in Nagalil, which also made the riots in Nagalil larger in scale and affected a wider range of disasters. Some rioting groups even started Heading towards Central Nagalil.

In addition to the international condemnation of the riot organizers and the sympathy for the people injured and killed in the riots brought about by these changes, world stock prices have also been affected.

In particular, the Federal Industrial Index has plummeted by [-]% for one week, creating the largest one-week drop in ten years!
At the same time, many flights were stopped, and the cargo at the federal port was piled up like a mountain!
Entrepreneurs of small and medium-sized enterprises are already devastated, because they cannot deliver goods, which means they will be sued for breach of contract.

The price of breach of contract claims is often bankruptcy!

Entrepreneurs in the Federation are very "smart". They will take a lot of orders in one go, and whichever order expires first will be the first to make.

Some people may ask, why not take orders one by one?
The person who raised this question obviously doesn't know much about real shopping malls, nor do they understand the pressure of operators and other issues.

The more orders, the more profits, as long as they are not overdue, why not do more work?
It's just that they didn't expect that due to the impact of the Nagalil riots this time, the containers in some areas could not be sent out.

These companies that are about to default have encountered operational risks, and many workers have also been affected.

Since the reform of the federal social security system, the employee's pension insurance has been borne by the enterprise, and the safety of the enterprise has become a matter of greatest concern to the workers!

Soon, there was a parade on the federal road, and they held up the slogan "The world needs peace" and began to petition.

At this time, the speakers of the Nagalil United Parliament also expressed that they could do nothing about the current situation and asked the federal government to intervene...
