Chapter 2292

There has been a lot of movement in the military region recently. On the third day after meeting Peleus, someone from the northern military region also came to Bu Pain.

The relationship between these people and Lynch... has a wonderful sense of familiarity.

With the exception of Austin, the Northern Military District now takes over control of most of the Mariello area.

The young president and the governors of the new five states have more or less something to do with Lynch.

Lynch is also very prestigious among the Mariello ruling class.

In the eyes of the Mariro people, through Lynch's operation, a considerable number of Mariro people have become government officials of the New Five States.

It also allowed some Mariro people to enter the federal Congress and have the opportunity to speak out for them on a higher political stage!
Lynch also has a good relationship with the young president, and he also has a lot of business in Marillo.

For example, infrastructure construction, or the purchase of tobacco leaves.

This is why although he did not make a public appearance in Mariro, the people of Mariro are familiar with him.

This also indirectly led to a high degree of attention from the Northern Military Region to Lynch. After all, he has done too many things, and he often does things that scare people's jaws.

The purpose of the Northern Military Region's visit here is to negotiate with the Ministry of Defense, and at the same time, they plan to meet Lynch.

It was also through these people that Lynch knew a very unexpected but expected thing - a grandfather of Peleus was going to retire!

Retirement in the true sense!
"Their family controls two large military districts, and two-thirds of the federal army is under their control."

"The federal government's decision is very correct and very timely."

"If the power held by this family is not adjusted, they may really threaten the security of the Federation."

"So, one of them is retiring."

The speaker used to be Austin's boss, and they also got a lot of benefits when Austin worked for Lynch.

Lynch once donated a sum of money to them, which was not much for him, but for a certain company at the border station, it was a lot.

This is also the "friendship" formed at that time.

"This time the Ministry of National Defense came to us, just to talk to us about the successor..."

Lynch nodded thoughtfully. No wonder Peleus would meet with him in this situation and try to make peace between the two parties.

Turns out the feds have got their necks!
He was also a little curious, "Which one do you think they will give up?"

The Peleus family currently controls the Central-South Federal Military District, which is mainly based on the Army and Air Force.

The Eastern Naval District is a pure navy. Although there is an army structure such as the Navy Stormtrooper, it is still biased towards the navy as a whole.

The colonel sitting across from Lynch gave him an answer without hesitation, "They will definitely abandon the Army."

He seemed to know that Lynch would definitely ask "why", so he explained without waiting for Lynch to continue asking.

"The South-Central Military District seems to have a large territory, a large number of service members, and two large branches, the Army and the Air Force."

"But it was fixed to die in that place, and the core interests of the Peleus family are still in the ocean."

"If they want to retain the interests of the South Central Military Region, then they have to give up the interests of the navy, which is precisely what they cannot accept."

"So don't overthink it, we all know what they're going to do!"

Although he didn't speak much, Lynch understood.

The biggest difference between the Army and the Navy is that the Army cannot run around the Federation and even around the world in the name of "training" or "exercise" like the Navy!
But the Navy can!
The Navy pulls out the fleet in the name of "training" or "exercise", and the federal government doesn't care where they go or what they do.

As long as they don't defect and ask the feds for more money, who the hell cares what they do?
Moreover, the navy's impact on the daily life of society is almost negligible when traveling on the sea, which is impossible for the army.

If a large-scale army moves, it will inevitably cause social tension and anxiety.

At the same time, if the army does things for capitalists, it is too obvious.

The Navy is different.

The navy can escort the Federation's shipping groups, and even they themselves can use freighters to carry out transportation tasks, and even smuggle them!
At the same time, the naval fleet also has some daily military tasks, such as cruising in certain ocean areas on a regular basis to strengthen the prestige of the Federation.

These have given the navy a lot of convenience, which the army cannot match.

Therefore, they will inevitably abandon the Central and Southern Army and continue to operate the Eastern Naval Command.

"Do you have any ideas about the Central South Military Region?" Lynch asked.

The colonel is no longer a low-ranking officer in the army. In Lynch's view, his visit may also be some meaning of the high-level officials of the Northern Military Region.

Try to see if you can get some assistance from Lynch.

But what Lynch didn't expect was that he guessed wrong.

The colonel shook his head and explained, "The federal government and Congress have strengthened the powers of the Department of Defense, and the Department of Defense is dissatisfied with the fact that the military has not allowed them to interfere in the internal affairs of the military over the years."

"At present, generals with sufficient prestige are either unable to get away, or they have certain connections with the Peleus family."

"The Ministry of National Defense intends to temporarily transfer a civilian general with sufficient military rank from within the Ministry of Defense to take control of the overall situation."

"At the same time, in order to prevent this general from lacking front-line work experience and messing up the army."

"They recruited a large number of mid- and lower-level officers from the Northern Military Region to fill them in the Central-South Military Region..."

"I am one of them."

"Actually, I've always wanted to visit you, Mr. Lynch."

"It's just that we didn't have time before. You know, we are under a lot of pressure and the tasks are very intensive."

"This time, I happened to be lucky enough to be transferred here, so I stopped by for a visit!"

Lynch thought he hadn't told all the truth and had reservations.

But that didn't matter, Lynch would let him know that he was genuine and at the top of the list when it came to making friends.

In fact, there was something Lynch didn't know about this matter.

The general election is around the corner, and Connor's approval rating in opinion polls is very high. Once Connor wins, it means that Lynch will continue his close relationship with the presidential palace.

The Minister of Defense is a cabinet member in the federal political system, and the list of cabinet members is drawn up by the federal president.

In other words, if nothing else happens, the power of the Central South Military Region will be in the hands of the Ministry of National Defense, and Lynch can directly intervene in the work of the Ministry of National Defense and the Central South Military Region through the Presidential Office.

It is very important for him to come in advance to get acquainted.

If you want to live comfortably in the Federation these days, you must either have big capital support, or you can take the high-level route.

The colonel does not have any big capital support behind him, so he can only take the high-level route.

Almost all the mid- and lower-level officers transferred this time came from the northern military region. On the one hand, because the western military region was directly divided into two military regions, they could not spare more manpower.

Secondly, the Ministry of National Defense does not want to use the personnel of the Eastern Naval District, so it can only transfer officers from the Northern Military District.

Of course, they can also promote some officers from the militia to join the army, but the Ministry of Defense hopes to transfer some "elite soldiers and strong generals" with war experience.

This is also a test of the Ministry of Defense.

What if both the Federal President and the Congress forget about it?

It was the first general election after the war, and at the same time there was a lot of corruption within the federal army. It would never be like this at any other time, giving the Ministry of Defense the opportunity to directly control the military power!

After chatting for a while, Lynch invited the colonel and the officers from the north to have a chance to sit down and chat, and then sent the colonel away.

The federal government responded very quickly, and conducted a thorough and careful investigation of the claims that "the Peleus family firmly controls the federal army" and "the federal army is a certain family's private army" discussed in the society.

After the summer vacation, the federal government also announced to the whole society the results of its investigation on corruption in the military.

According to this report, most of the contents of the petition in the society and some of the corruption problems reflected do not exist and are not realistic.

A small number of reports and questions with definite evidence have been dealt with seriously.

Another part of the rumors turned out to be fake news, including the accusation that the Peleus family firmly controlled the Federation's military power.

Later, the Presidential Palace awarded Peleus's grandfather, the federal army general, a Federal Medal of Honor. At the same time, this general who had made many contributions during the war retired.

Even the Ministry of National Defense has no chance to provide for the elderly, so they go home to provide for the aged!

The vacated commander-in-chief of the central and southern military region, considering that the internal problems of the army have not yet been rectified, has temporarily been dispatched by the Ministry of Defense to temporarily take over a general.

And a large number of officers were transferred from other military regions to fill it...

Regarding this result, it cannot be said that everyone is satisfied, but at least no one feels dissatisfied.

The control of the Peleus family's military power in the area south of the central center of the Federation has been abolished.

The Ministry of National Defense and the National Congress do not intend to beat them to death with one stick. For the time being, the Eastern Naval District has been handed over to them for management.

But everyone knows that it is almost impossible for them to continue to build the Eastern Naval District into their own paradise!

The decline, or even demise, of the Peleus family may not take long.

The military-related reforms within Congress have increased the federal government's control over the military and weakened factionalism within the military. This is also an inevitable result of historical development.

Even without Lynch, in the end, the federal government will not let factions within the military continue to grow, and will also give them a knife at some point.

In the federation in September, the smell of the election campaign is getting stronger and stronger.

Even for Bu Paine, the streets and alleys are covered with various election posters and election manifestos...
