Blackstone Code

The only advantage the "national team" has over the capitalists is their status in society.

If the Ministry of National Defense is really shameless in using registered patents, the capitalists actually have nothing to do with them.

Rights lawsuits based solely on patents can be blocked on the grounds of "state secrets". At that time, the Ministry of National Defense will only have to produce a lot of redacted documents.

No matter how good a lawyer is, there is no way he can litigate with his eyes closed against the Ministry of National Defense with his eyes open.

All key or sensitive information in the documents provided by the Ministry of Defense will be blacked out. How do you think you can use this document to argue with them?

When they encounter something difficult to handle, they just resort to claiming "state secrets" to deal with it. It's almost impossible to win such a lawsuit.

In the end, at best, no one can win or lose, and the lawsuit is delayed indefinitely and put on hold.

And some things will be ugly if they completely break up, especially military-industrial enterprises.

The Ministry of National Defense is trying to get scolded for being ignorant, even if it doesn't buy Lynch's weapons and equipment, there is no good solution.

Then the weapons and equipment produced by Lynch are included in the embargo list and are prohibited from being exported abroad. The entire enterprise will soon collapse.

Lin Qi listened to the chief engineer's explanation without much worry.

"For those who are wavering and planning to leave, go through the resignation process for them when you return and register their personal circumstances."

"In the next stage, we will introduce other forces to jointly develop, but the core technology must be in our hands, understand?"

The chief engineer nodded and said hesitantly, "Shouldn't we... take some countermeasures?"

Lynch's answer was decisive, "No need, no use."

"Give me the list when you get back. We don't need an ideologically disloyal researcher, no matter how much we need him!"

"And as you can see from the current situation, the longer these people stay with us, the more intelligence they get."

"When you go back, you can develop a researcher hierarchy for all research institutes. From now on, middle- and lower-level researchers can only conduct research on things other than the core. We must ensure that the technology is absolutely safe."

Lynch looked at him, "I have invested a total of more than three billion in research funds in the Flight Research Institute. I don't want most of this money to be in vain before it can be realized!"

If anyone is willing to invest a lot of money in technology development, then Lynch must be one of them.

From the establishment of the Flight Research Institute to the early days of the war, he invested a total of about 300 to 400 million yuan.

The money consumption at this time is not large because although the clouds of war are getting closer and closer, people all over the world remain optimistic about a certain degree of success.

And they don't think that the intensity and intensity of the war will make the whole world tremble. At the same time, aircraft technology is also in its initial exploration and development stage.

In the two years from the beginning to the middle of the war, Lynch subsequently invested about one billion in research and development funds to develop new fighter engines and high-strength materials.

In the middle and late stages of the war, the dividends brought by a large number of military orders, the research and development of jet fighter engines, and the investment in aerodynamics amounted to more than one billion.

This does not include the various pesticides studied by the weapons research institute. If this part is added, there will be more.

From the war to the present, more than 500 million have been spent on guided missile research.

And in the follow-up plan, another five to one billion may need to be invested to make the overall technology mature.

After spending so much money, Lynch would definitely not be happy if it was stolen by the Ministry of Defense before he could enjoy the dividends and profits it brought!

The chief engineer nodded repeatedly. In fact, the weather had not warmed up yet, it was only about 20 degrees, but the chief engineer had already started to wipe away the sweat.

"I am not stingy with the wealth in my hands, and I am willing to share it with others, but I don't want to share it with people who may betray me at any time. Think about it for yourself..."

As for the introduction of new joint development partners, it is natural to bring in those from the Western Military Region.

Missiles are just a... small project right now.

In fact, even the Ministry of National Defense has not realized the changes it has made to the war model.

But Lynch knows this very well, and he can also determine the desire of those in the Western Military District for these technologies!

They are not the core federal military region. If they want to become a large military region and have a greater voice in the army and the Ministry of Defense or even the entire federal system, they must be like the Central and Southern Military Region and the Navy.

Possess the key factors that can control the direction of the war!

Missiles meet this point. If the Western Military Region is turned into a missile force, they will become the fourth combat arm on the battlefield in addition to mechanized forces, air force and navy.

At the same time, this unit has sufficient deterrence against the other three types of units!

Air-to-air missiles, ground-to-surface missiles, and ship-to-ship missiles!

Such a big bargaining chip is enough to completely tie the Western Military Region to its own chariot!

The conversation between Lynch and the chief engineer went unnoticed. Most of the people who came to the exhibition focused on the exquisite models and brochures.

Blackstone Aviation's fighter jets are among the best in the world, bar none.

It was deployed on a large scale and played a key role in the air battle against Pengeo's homeland, establishing the Federal Air Force's position among the world's air forces.

Many people are eager to get data and materials on Blackstone Aviation's latest fighter jets. Every once in a while, the institute will catch some spies trying to steal confidential documents.

Even now, there are still several guys with doubtful identities in the institute. As long as they reveal their flaws, they will be arrested immediately.

The more people watch, the more people order, which is another huge amount of revenue.

If Peleus's attitude wasn't so unpleasant, Lynch actually didn't want to bother him.

While Lynch was on vacation overseas while attending meetings, people from the military and the Department of Defense also sat together.

Everyone was wearing military uniforms and had general rank, and there seemed to be an unbridgeable gap between the people sitting on both sides of the table.

They look the same, but they are distinct.

The Ministry of National Defense is actually a unit directly under the Presidential Office and used to coordinate government departments and the military. Of course, it also has more tasks and responsibilities.

There are some officers in the Ministry of Defense who have not even received formal military training!

They are ordinary civilian personnel, like the head of an office in the Department of International Affairs, or administrative personnel in other government offices.

It’s just that the administrative staff of the Ministry of National Defense will have strict requirements for uniforms, that is, military uniforms.

Workers in other government agencies are not required to wear anything.

This has also led to many people in the military not being very fond of people from the Ministry of Defense, because they do not recognize some officers in the Ministry of Defense as soldiers. After all, they may not even know where the safety of their rifles is!

The officers of the Ministry of National Defense also don't like the officers of the military. Those in the military always seem very arrogant, as if they saved the world!

We all dislike each other, but we all have to sit here at this time.

Because of some power changes.

Among the proposals passed by Congress, the Ministry of National Defense has the authority to establish a disciplinary department directly under the Ministry of Defense and has the power to conduct disciplinary investigations against military institutions and individuals.

The leader of the delegation of the Ministry of National Defense this time is the Lieutenant General of the Ministry of National Defense. This general is also considered one of the top five powerful people in the Ministry of National Defense.

But before he could sit down, he was mocked by Peleus' grandfather, the admiral.

The two had dealt with each other more than once before. At that time, not to mention the clouds of war, isolationism was still prevalent.

The power of the Ministry of National Defense is obviously higher than that of the military, so whether the military can live a good life during that period depends entirely on the cooperation of the Ministry of National Defense.

Moreover, at that time, Peleus's naval grandfather was only a major general and would often go to the Ministry of National Defense to ask for funds.

The federal government did not intend to engage in a naval equipment competition with Gaevra at the time, so it often refused to allocate funds to the navy and revised their budgets.

But later Peleus's naval grandfather became famous in the first battle. Although he was temporarily placed under house arrest, he was promoted to vice admiral in a very low-key manner.

After the war, they were among the first batch of naval officers to be promoted to admirals. When they met their old rivals again, they were already admirals, while the other admirals had just been promoted to lieutenant generals.

The anger I felt when the other party made things difficult for me in the past came out on the spot.

Of course, he didn't go too far. The military's life is not easy now, and it still needs the cooperation of the Ministry of National Defense.

The general of the Ministry of National Defense closed his eyes. The old man around him said it was a joke, but everyone knew it was a mockery.

He doesn't want to open his eyes now and keeps pretending to be dead.

People below are intensely discussing a series of changes. With the passage of multiple proposals, some rights of the military need to be transferred to the Ministry of Defense.

But how to hand it over, when to hand it over, and to what extent it will be handed over all need to be discussed.

Just like the Ministry of National Defense is now setting up a disciplinary inspection department, the size of this department, how high its specifications will be, and how deeply it will inspect the military, all need to be further determined.

Naturally, the military does not want the Ministry of National Defense to interfere excessively with the daily training and work of various military regions, and the Ministry of National Defense cannot completely give up its power, so everyone has to find a balance point.

There are irreconcilable contradictions here, and it can be regarded as a small trick of Congress. The military and the Ministry of National Defense know clearly that this is Congress's fault, but there is nothing they can do about it.

From the perspective of the Ministry of Defense, it is obviously a good idea to properly control the military.

In the past, the military was still more or less under control, but with the outbreak of the war, Mr. Trueman and the military formed an integral body, and the military was no longer under the control of the Ministry of Defense!

However, the military believes that this is ultra vires. According to the charter, the military is controlled by the Presidential Palace and does not say it is controlled by the Ministry of Defense.

There was a lot of quarreling, but there was still no conclusion...
