Blackstone Code

In the low-key private club, Lynch and the Lieutenant General had just sat down.

The others had returned to the hotel of the Flight Research Institute to rest, but Lieutenant General and Lynch left alone.

If you want to get the Western Military Region on your side, just cooperation on military projects is not enough.

It is not just the missile force that can promote this cooperation.

On the surface, the concept of missile force plays a big role, but in fact it is Slem's additional military subsidy of 300 million per year.

Three hundred million, this is what really makes these generals agree to cooperate.

After all, who can refuse an extra three hundred million?

Even if this money will eventually enter the military's account, and its use will be supervised, but there will be an extra 300 million in the budget, no matter how stupid a person is, they can turn some of the money that does not belong to them into their own. money.

Why are rich people getting richer?

Because some smart people who only drank soup were willing to help these rich people build pots and make fires, hunt for meat for them, put it in and cook it for them to eat.

And all these smart people need is a mouthful of thick broth, nothing more.

This will also confuse many people. Since these smart people are so powerful, why don't they eat meat themselves, but only want to drink soup?

They have worked hard for a year, and a large part of their income has been taken away by those behind the scenes. They can only get a small part. Isn't this too stupid?

But in fact, these people are the real smart people, because without these meat-eating people, there would be no their broth to drink.

Just like the situation before Gaevra, it is difficult for capitalists to gain a foothold without relying on the nobility. If you do not help the nobility make money, then you cannot become a capitalist.

You can only become a small businessman selling small goods, because that's the rule.

In this world, there are actually "prey" all over the streets, but if you are not qualified to hunt, you can only drool looking at these prey, and you may even be one of them.

Only when there is a big shot behind you can you be qualified to hunt and enjoy the benefits of changing from prey to hunter!

What needs to be paid is to put the meat into the mouth of the big man and drink some broth yourself.

But even if it is just a mouthful of broth, the nutrients it contains exceed the maximum value that a prey can obtain in a lifetime!

"I have already talked with Governor Catherine, and the governors of the other two states are also in contact. If nothing happens, Congress will hold hearings on this before the end of the year."

"Overseas military zones are not something that can be decided in a few words. There must be appropriate reasons, motivations, and the consent of Congress."

"Congress is not the problem, the problem is that we need an opportunity."

There were only two of them in the room. The Lieutenant General looked around with some doubts. Lin Qi knew what he was worried about.

"It's safe here. It was checked by my people before we arrived."

The Lieutenant General smiled and nodded, "Be careful. Public opinion is very strong now, and my identity is also very sensitive."

Everyone is "defeating the army". Of course, public opinion has actually changed a bit. From simply blaming the military, to now, under some guidance, it has begun to attack Peleus and the family behind him. These are all planned. .

But the lieutenant general didn't know that the limelight on Bupen's side was changing very quickly, and the impact on the west was not serious. After all, even if the female soldiers enlisted, they would not go to the west to join the army.

Female soldiers are mainly concentrated in the south-central military region, and there are not many female soldiers in the eastern naval military region.

A little in the north, but not much.

Therefore, Lieutenant General's concerns are actually a bit unnecessary.

He paused, then said, "Do you have any plans?"

Lynch nodded, "You don't have to worry about these things. After Congress convenes, you must express your position quickly and strongly."

"Otherwise, these benefits may end up in the hands of others. After all, you are not the only one in the federal army!"

The Lieutenant General pursed his lips and said, "I understand, we will not back down on this matter!"

He understood what Lynch meant, saying that the South Central Military District and the Eastern Naval District might compete, even if they were full of shit now.

After all, this is related to real power. For these powers, they may take action, such as quickly admitting all crimes and then dealing with these officers in accordance with the needs of public opinion and public opinion.

Then we will fight for the overseas military region project.

"I believe in your determination!" Lynch gave a positive response.

This response is also necessary.

He continued, "Governor Catherine and I have communicated that they can come up with the 300 million additional military expenditures, but at the same time we also have a request."

"We must have the right to supervise the use of this part of military spending, and as we have discussed before, we must be the first to use the military equipment we provide under the same conditions."

The lieutenant general did not answer immediately, but began to think that the use of military expenditures was actually a very vague concept.

An exercise that doesn't actually happen can consume hundreds of thousands or millions of ammunition, which is why there are questions about this part of the congressional proposal.

No one knows where the money was spent.

No one knew whether their military exercise was actually open fire or just a picnic.

No one knows that the ammunition really left the warehouse and was consumed, or that it was just moved from one warehouse to another, which resulted in an additional military expenditure.

If Lynch's people were to oversee the use of this military budget, they would have a hard time getting their hands on it.

But it would be inappropriate to reject Lynch because of this. After all, this is an additional military expenditure of 300 million.

I don’t know whether Lynch saw his thoughts or had a plan from the beginning. After the Lieutenant General hesitated for a while, Lynch lowered his voice slightly.

Although the room had been carefully searched, he still lowered his voice.

This will give people a sufficient sense of security.

"Five percent."

The lieutenant general was stunned for a moment, "What?"

"I do not quite understand!"

But then he reacted and his expression was a little strange.

What is five percent of three hundred million?

He was not very good at mathematics, and he was a little annoyed that he had joined the army early without studying hard, so he couldn't figure out what 5 percent of 300 million was!

At this time, he was too embarrassed to ask Lynch for pen and paper to calculate this number, so he could only perform a calculation while his brain was confused.

Seven million?

Isn’t it a little less?

He felt that this number was a bit low. After all, after the establishment of the new military region, there were quite a few people who wanted to share the money.

People in the New Military Region want to share the money, and people in the Western Military Region also want to share it.

They can't do a good job in the new military region, but they can't get any benefits, right?

If they had such great and selfless thoughts, they wouldn't be sitting here now.

Lynch's eyes can see through people's hearts, "Fifteen million is not that small!"

Fifteen million?

Not seven million?

The lieutenant general's expression was a little embarrassed, damn it, it turned out to be fifteen million, I knew it was like this!

But he couldn't show that he didn't speak out just because of a miscalculation. He had to maintain his current attitude.

Lynch added, "Six percent at most. If it's any more, the secret will be exposed easily."

"Give me a list..."

The purpose of Lynch's supervision of military expenditures is also to prevent these people from picking up the bowl to eat and then throwing the bowl after eating.

As long as there is someone who can monitor the movement of this money, if the Western Military Region and the New Military Region want to do something they shouldn't do, they have to carefully consider whether it is worth it.

Once the news of military expenditure fraud comes out, Congress's restrictions on the military will continue to strengthen. Even if Lynch's request is a little excessive, they can only hold their noses and admit it.

At least you will suffer a small loss and the money will still be there.

If you don't want to suffer losses, not only will your money be gone, but your rights may also be gone.

At this time, the lieutenant general was not thinking that far, but was thinking about how much the extra one percent would be.

Certainly more than fifteen million, but how much more?

He was a little confused, and then began to think about how to divide the money appropriately.

He and another lieutenant general must take a portion of it. One million per person is the minimum, so what is left...

Damn math!

"I have to discuss it with him. You know I can only be half the master."

He found a reason to avoid sensitive issues with numbers. He would feel embarrassed if the secret was revealed.

Lynch nodded, "You need to be more cautious."

"Except for this part, any military equipment that you purchase from me in our agreement includes anything other than military equipment."

"As long as the money is spent, I will return another two percent to you and another lieutenant general."

"The money will be transferred into your account very safely, and there is no need to worry about any legal issues."

"This is also a little gift to deepen our cooperation with each other. I hope you will like it."

The lieutenant general can still figure out two percent.

He thought for about two minutes and realized that one percent of one hundred million is one million, and two percent is two million.

As for what percentage of 300 million is, that is a problem from another dimension and has nothing to do with him.

As long as he knew that for every RMB 100 million of military supplies ordered, he would get RMB 1 million in benefits, which made his breathing quicken.

The Western Military Region does have its own "business", but these businesses cannot bring them very intuitive profits.

I can only say that everyone’s life is slightly better than not doing business, just a little bit.

After all, the economy in the western region is underdeveloped and it is not a financial center. It has a vast territory and sparsely populated areas. It is already good to be able to do what it is now.

But things are different now. One hundred million means one million benefits. After the war, the budget of the Western Military Region was reduced to 117 million.

The portion that can be used for "purchase" is less than 1.5 billion.

After making this comparison, the Lieutenant General felt more and more that it was necessary to establish this overseas military region!

For the safety of the Federation!
