The officers in the entire war conference room are all stakeholders of the Peleus family. Their own interests have long been bound to the Peleus family and they are their die-hard supporters.

Looking at these middle and upper-level officers, Peleus seemed a little excited.

These past few years have been so frustrating!
Anyone can cause trouble for them, and they don't have any good way to counter it.

Fighting against various investigations from Congress, the Presidential Office, and the Department of Defense will only irritate the sensitive nerves of the federal government and turn small troubles into big troubles.

Only by letting them do anything and showing that they no longer resist can they relax their vigilance.

After enduring it for the past few years, they finally saw the light of day, earlier than they expected!
Their previous private plan was to launch a new round of military alert or even war when necessary, increase the navy's weight in an international tense environment, and thereby regain a certain degree of freedom and rights.

But who could have imagined that the end of the world would come so unexpectedly?

The fragmented state of the federal government gives all careerists the perfect start!

"First find those who do not belong to us. Don't touch them yet. There is no need to try to win them over. Just let us know who is our own and who is not with us."

"Then, we just need to wait quietly for that day to come!"

Peleus looked at his elders and said, "I got some information through some private relationships. In about eight to ten years, the Federation will organize people to live in shelters in large numbers."

“So we don’t have to wait too long for the day we hope to come!”

"Before this, we cannot be idle. We need some military equipment that can fight in cold conditions."

"Cold-proof clothing, weapons that can withstand low temperatures, gunpowder that provides sufficient kinetic energy, and other supporting technologies."

"We will study the more sensitive ones ourselves, and find ways to find someone to solve them for us if they are not too sensitive."

"In addition, we must also prepare for the arrival of the Ice Age..."

Peleus's two grandfathers were over 70 years old, and halfway through the meeting, they were already losing concentration.

For these old people, sitting here motionless is also a very tiring thing, but this meeting cannot end here. They left for a while to rest, and the meeting continued to be chaired by Peleus.

Peleus's father, uncle, etc. did not object to Peleus becoming the core person, which was also a characteristic of most families in the Federation.

They know very well that someone must stand up and lead the family. If they are not capable enough, that person will definitely not be themselves and cannot be themselves.

Peleus talked about many things, including asking Congress to approve a larger military budget.

Anyway, if someone gives you money, don’t give it up. The supplies you are hoarding now may become the key to changing the times in the future!

At the end of the sentence, Peleus stood by the table, put his hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, and looked at everyone in the room, "It won't be long before we can personally correct what they have done in the past few years." Wrong thing.”

"I know it's hard to endure such a long time, but we must hold on, because the dawn is not far away!"

"A dazzling light that has never been seen before is waiting for us!"

Soon, the Eastern Naval District submitted several new budgets to the Federal Congress, including the costs required for daily training and maintenance, as well as some ammunition stocks that needed to be replenished during live-fire exercises.

As well as an additional demand for a large number of cold-proof clothing and some new medicines, they explained that this was because the weather was getting colder and the soldiers who had been living at the seaside were more or less infected with some diseases.

For example, joint pain and the like, although not fatal, are still painful enough.

This kind of pain exists for a long time, and many soldiers need the help of medicine to sleep peacefully, which is also a huge expense.

In fact, these military budget applications are very consistent with the standards for military budget applications. However, due to Senator Langdon's crooked words, Congress does not pay too much attention to the Eastern Military District.

Instead, there is a sense of scrutiny and even hostility towards the various budgets they request!
Those who were able to find faults were able to find faults as much as possible, and those who were unable to find faults were dismissed on the grounds that "the specific budget figures were inappropriate" and asked to be re-examined.

During this process, everyone, including the commander of the Northern Military Region, met with Lynch in private.

Their attitude is not so "positive". They are unwilling to start a federal civil war in the country, and they do not believe that the ambitions of the Peleus family can be realized.

Because most of the troops will eventually stay in the country, and each refuge will be divided a little, so it will be impossible for the Eastern Navy to quickly form a unified military power in the refuge.

As long as it cannot be formed in the short term, there will be no chance in the long term. "If they make any changes, such as intending to use force to resolve differences, then we will definitely stand up and stop them."

"But let's take the lead in using force against them, and I'm sorry, but we can't do that either."

"We cannot afford to do all this with the bad reputation of starting a civil war, so... please forgive me!"

The above is the final view of the commanders of the three major military regions. They are unwilling to be the ones causing civil war.

The Federals are a very strange creature. They always want to stand on the moral high ground and accuse others of something. Moreover, public opinion plays an important role, and the generals do not want to take risks to solve other people's troubles.

They believed that even if Peleus really planned to do something, they would not be the primary target, and if a conflict did break out between the two sides, it would be difficult to say who would win.

But these guarantees are, to some extent, enough.

Generals' understanding of politics is far inferior to that of politicians. In other words, politics in the eyes of generals is more "military" than politics in the eyes of politicians, which is unpredictable.

Lynch conveyed these commander's thoughts and results to Connor. After hearing this, Connor was stunned for a while and couldn't help laughing.

He laughed, and Lin Qi was laughing too. The two of them were laughing inexplicably.

From a small chuckle to a loud laugh, if there is a third person present, then this person will definitely have confusion in his eyes and feel that he is rejected by these two guys!
What the hell are they laughing at?
Why do they understand each other so well and I feel like an outsider?

If there is a third person, he will definitely think so!
After laughing for a while, Connor took a deep breath and ended his inexplicable laughter.

He picked up a handkerchief and wiped the water from his eyes. He burst into tears from laughter!
"What do you think?", he threw the question back to Lynch.

In fact, he already had the answer, and he didn't think it would embarrass Lynch. He just hoped that Lynch could give him the answer he wanted, so that he could better feel the existence of "tacit understanding"!

It's like some friends who have a very good relationship, they will make some fancy meeting gifts, just like a performance, to show others how strong and tacit understanding the relationship between them is.

Lynch licked his lips, but the smile in his eyes did not disappear, "Then force them to start a civil war first!"

Connor suddenly laughed again, "I knew it, Lynch!"

"I knew we were thinking the same thing. God, you are so wonderful!"

Lin Qi kept his unfazed look. He raised his hand and pressed it softly, "Don't be so loud, it will be misunderstood!"

Yes, to force the Peleus family to rebel, as long as they take the lead in launching a civil war, these three military regions must stand together to deal with the Eastern Naval Region.

What if the Peleus family doesn't resist?
Come on, this is the federal government. Even the coffee machine and coffee beans used in the presidential palace can be criticized. Federal politicians have too many ways to make them miserable!
As long as they still have human emotions, they will definitely be unable to bear it.

As long as they make the slightest military move, they will immediately usher in a comprehensive encirclement and suppression!

This is why Connor couldn't help but laugh. Those people thought of some things too complicatedly.

Connor was in a very happy mood at this time. It was not just a simple problem that was solved.

Previously, he was worried that these military commanders were unwilling to stand on his side. The federal military power was relatively separated from political power.

Although the federal president has the right to request the military to carry out military operations in his capacity as president, the military also has the right to refuse!
Strictly speaking, even if Congress wants to mobilize the military for military strikes, it must convince the military in advance.

He thought this would involve a lot of interest transactions, but he didn't expect... it would be so simple!
This is the gap caused by different perceptions of things!

If they realized that they only needed to force Peleus and his family to rebel, they would have to stand up, and maybe they wouldn't make such a guarantee!
After Connor's smile completely subsided, he picked up the slightly cold coffee and took a sip, "Where do you think it would be easier to start?"

What he meant was how to evacuate the Peleus family as soon as possible. There were many points that could be started, but he had not yet thought of the most deadly one.

Lynch thought for a while and said, "You can consider starting with their pocketbooks."

"Reduce their military budget and cut off their interest exchanges with shipping groups. Once they cannot maintain the huge interest network in the Eastern Military Region."

"They have to do something unless they can accept that the entire interest group is fragmented!"

"As long as they take action, they will put a knife in our hands!"
