Blackstone Code

The arms sales business is not a simple business.

The military's procurement process for military equipment is not complicated.

Each company displays its latest equipment, and then the military has a dedicated department to do the work, and finally selects a suitable company to purchase their products.

Note that it is "suitable enterprise", not "suitable equipment". During wartime, the military will pay more attention to the characteristics of military equipment itself.

Because soldiers need to use these equipment to kill the enemy.

However, in non-war periods, the replacement of military equipment is more for military preparation, not just for the actual use of these weapons!

So in this case, the right company is obviously more important than the right equipment.

Moreover, the quality of the equipment itself will not be much different.

Rockets were a new project, and Peleus quickly realized the value of this thing!

It can fly farther, higher, and more difficult to defend.

If it is made larger, can it fly farther and be equipped with more terrifying warheads?

Definitely is!

But this business cannot be left to Lynch alone.

This is not to be good to him, but to harm him.

Military-industrial enterprises with a military background are the most mainstream in the Federation. The major shareholders or important members of the board of directors of these enterprises are either from the family members of military generals or from a certain military interest group.

Just like Lynch, it seems that he has no interest transfer relationship with the military.

But the amount of money he donates to the Veterans Club every year is not a small amount.

In addition, Blackstone Security has installed some "military consultants" who only take money but do no work, and they have invested in some sub-foundations under the Blackstone Fund.

This is not a simple matter.

Mr. Trueman was Lynch's stepping stone to the military market, but he was not his reliance.

He relies on interests, pure interests, and always advanced military technology!

Even if Peleus didn't react, Lynch would not plan to produce all the rocket equipment himself. Instead, he would invest in these technologies as technology and "share" them with other military industrial companies.

They get the technology and are responsible for further research and development and sales. Lynch does nothing but sits and divides the money.

Everyone can make money, which is the core principle of Federal Capital.

Whoever only thinks about eating alone will definitely end up not getting better!

After the military and Mr. Trueman toured the jet-engined high-speed fighter, they had little to say about Mr. Lynch's plan to trade current fighter technology for a fortune.

In particular, Lynch said that about 3.5 billion of it will be used to establish the "Blackstone Charitable Foundation."

And use most of the money for disabled soldiers, as well as other veterans' employment and social issues.

Peleus was satisfied with this.

Three and a half billion is not a small amount. During the war, this amount of money only requires the signature of the President.

But in non-war times, Congress would not allow them to waste the country's taxpayers' money like this.

Lynch will discuss with the military how to use the money specifically. As the most direct beneficiary of military technology, the military has no objection to this.

How can those members of Congress who have not yet started working have any opinions?

Moreover, this is to speed up the end of the state of war, and they will only be more anxious than others.

But this is not a simple matter of making an offer and getting the money.

After returning from the test flight site, Lynch revealed directly to Mr. Trueman what the capitalists were doing.

"They are willing to privately provide more interest-free or low-interest loans to help and promote the Penteo people to complete the signing of the peace agreement as soon as possible."

"I personally have a guess. It is very likely that at least half of the cost of aircraft technology transfer will need to be paid by domestic capitalists."

Mr. Trueman had a strange expression. He wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh when he thought that so many people were dealing with him out of sight.

He turned to look at Lynch and asked with some interest, "What about you?"

"what do you think?"

Lynch tilted his head, "You are a great person, Trueman."

"In the not too long history of the Federation, no one has done as much to capitalists as you have."

"Look, they are already afraid of you. They are even too afraid to deal with you head-on. Instead, they use this roundabout method."

"This is enough to prove that you are an amazing person. You have dealt a heavy blow to the capital forces of the Federation and made them fearful!"

Lynch said a lot. After Mr. Trueman came to power, the major reforms he promised during his campaign were more or less in progress.

And they are doing pretty well.

For example, the reform of the social security system allows companies to be responsible for part of their employees' pension issues. This is a huge change!

The government has alleviated some of the pressure, businesses and capitalists have become more socially responsible, and workers have increased their pensions and have more choices.

This alone is enough for him to be remembered by everyone!

Mr. Trueman burst into laughter listening to Lynch's praise. He rarely showed his inner emotions so strongly.

But he is indeed happy!

He doesn't think it's anything special when others praise him. Lynch is neither someone else nor an ordinary person.

His compliments to Mr. Trueman made Mr. Trueman think that he might be really great, which is exactly what he wanted to do!

After the praise and laughter stopped for a while, Mr. Trueman said with emotion, "Although I know what they are doing, I still think it is necessary."

"It is very necessary to resolve the war issue as soon as possible and shift the focus from war back to social issues."

"It's just hard for me to imagine, once Congress reopens, are they going to impeach me?"

Lynch shook his head, "They may do that, but in the end no one will stand up and do it with a clear stand."

"Because of public opinion."

"You have led the Federation to become the world's strongest military power. The Federation's status in the international community has improved, and your status in the hearts of the people is different."

"Whoever stands up against you will lose the support of the people. Any politician who loses the support of the people will not last long!"

"If they are smart, they will not stand against the people for the sake of small immediate interests."

Lynch's analysis is spot on, but Mr. Trueman doesn't have much joy.

He suddenly sighed, "It doesn't matter, I just did what I should do."

"If they think that such a person should not continue to do something in this position and insist that I leave, then I will leave."

"When I retire..." Mr. Trueman looked at Lynch, "I plan to travel around the world."

"I want to go see everywhere. How about you and me?"

Lynch happily agreed, "If that day comes, we will travel around the world together and see all the magnificent natural scenery in the world!"

"That's a deal?"

"That's a deal!"

As soon as the news that Lynch agreed to sell his latest fighter technology and production technology came back to Penjiao, the emperor fell into a kind of excitement!

If the currency hadn't been attacked at the beginning of this war and the financial economy had collapsed rapidly, they might not have lost so quickly!

Of course, in a war, fighter jets are always at a disadvantage, which is also a big problem.

But now this problem is about to be solved. Once the most advanced production technology is obtained, at least in terms of current fighter jets, both parties will be on the same starting line.

With the continuous research of Pengeo scientists, it may not be impossible to find the direction of future development.

He might even be ahead of the Federation!

As for the transaction amount of 10 billion federal soles, that is not a problem!

They can even discuss leasing part of the land to the Federation to build a port. Is there anything else they can't agree to?

To be honest, in many negotiations, leasing the port to the Federation and agreeing to their garrison may be the toughest thing on the surface, but actually the easiest thing to agree to.

If a war breaks out in the future, with Pengeo's military power, these ports may not even have a chance to respond and will be bulldozed!

After internal discussions, the Pengeo Empire expressed its willingness to facilitate this deal to quickly promote a treaty for a comprehensive armistice in the war.

But they couldn't come up with so much money and could only provide gold worth about 2.5 billion federal soles and about 2.5 billion supplies.

As for the cash, they couldn't get it out.

This part of the financial pressure has been transferred to those capitalists who actively promote this matter!

In the next few days, people kept coming to see Lynch, wanting to talk about whether they could pay in installments or whether they would accept other payment methods.

After all, the gap is too big. Even if they come to fill this hole together, it will be difficult to come up with so much money at once.

Lynch rejected various suggestions for exchanging equity for stock, but pointed them to a clear path-Blackstone Bank.

Lynch only acknowledged and recognized Blackstone Bank's asset pledge.

In other words, they can mortgage their things to Blackstone Bank, and then Blackstone Bank will pay for it.

But everyone knows that if they want to raise this money, they may need to mortgage a lot of things.

No matter it's a threat, a plea, or whatever, for him, all he wants is money!

Within two days, the Western Cowboy Festival began, attracting the attention of the entire federation and even the world.

The only eternal truth in this world is power!

In the past, Gefra was number one in the world. Whenever the emperor celebrated his birthday, many countries, large and small, would send gifts.

Even if no one arrives, the things must be delivered.

Now, the Federation is the most powerful country in the world, bar none.

Therefore, everything about the Federation has a fatal attraction for the entire world!

Whether it's its politics, economy, society, or its culture!
