Blackstone Code

The letters left by Mr. Trueman caused irreconcilable conflicts between Peleus and Lynch.

And before his death, Mr. Trueman had been working on the purification of the military.

The current military sounds like an independent institution, but it actually behaves far from independent.

The military has its own factories, its own production workshops, and holds a lot of shares in military industrial groups.

They also maintain close relationships with some large capital interest groups and provide these enterprises with a certain degree of military assistance.

For example, dispatch warships to escort the Naval Group!

What makes them do this is, in the final analysis, a matter of interests.

The wages of federal military personnel are not high. In fact, it should be said that wages in all federal industries except the financial industry are not high. They are all based on the standards of the minimum hourly wage law.

Even at the level of a general, it only costs about two thousand yuan a month.

It is obviously impossible to say that it is not enough. They do not need to spend extra money on food, clothing, housing and transportation. The two thousand yuan is their net income.

But to say that two thousand yuan is enough is nonsense!

People have to socialize in this world, and it is impossible for a federal general to socialize with a homeless man on the roadside.

The people they socialize with are either soldiers of the same level or big capitalists in society.

The income of a general who holds military power is not as high as that of a capitalist, which makes many officers feel a little unbalanced.

They defend their homeland and country, they sacrifice their lives, but let the people in the rear stand above them when it comes to wealth!

In addition, the production of some military equipment is not complicated at present, as well as the influence of environmental factors.

A huge interest group with the military as its core is rising rapidly!

The military, the military-industrial complex, members of Congress who represent the interests of the military and the military-industrial complex!

They even had a military-leaning president before!

Mr. Trueman also gradually realized that such a huge interest group had unpredictable and very dangerous consequences for the security of the federation, and then he began to try to break them up!

He hopes that the military can maintain its purity and the rest is a game for capitalists and politicians.

But once they join the military forces, this group of people has the ability to flip the table!

Politicians can provide reasons for their coups that are in line with people's values, and the military can quickly arm the army and provide them with strong economic support.

The military is the simplest and crudest violent institution. With protection, they only need to obey orders!

Within the military, the Peleus family also realized this, but they could not refuse.

After all, who would dislike having too much power and wealth in their hands?

Thinking of what Mr. Trueman was doing before his death, the Peleus family fell into silence.

They already understood the reason for the breakup between Lynch and Peleus. There was no big difference between admitting or not admitting this kind of thing.

Just like Peleus would not admit that the letter Mr. Trueman left him warned him to be wary, or even to deal with Lynch.

Lynch also said that, but did Peleus believe it?

If he told Lynch that those things were indeed in the letter, would Lynch really be at ease with him?

Will he be more wary of him and the military's power as a result?

This is a dead knot that cannot be untied unless someone "quits" unconditionally!

Several people thought for a long time but there was no good solution, so they could only do this for now and let Peleus talk to the president to see if they could persuade the president to send their people.

Mr. President also did not realize that he suddenly became important just before retirement.

As soon as I arrived at the office in the morning, people from the Ministry of Defense came over and submitted two applications, expressing their willingness to go to Nagalir to suppress the riots.

At the same time, Peleus also called his desk, hoping to meet him...

More than an hour later, Peleus appeared outside the president's office wearing his brigadier general uniform.

After the visitor left, the secretary notified him that he could enter.

Neatly dressed, Peleus held his military cap, walked to the center of the office, shook hands with the President, and then sat on the sofa.

He maintains a very good military style, which is also worthy of praise.

"Mr. President, the purpose of my request this time is related to the ongoing riot in Nagaril."

Mr. President nodded slightly and motioned for him to continue speaking.

Peleus had done his homework before coming. "No one or thing can compare to the importance of Nagaril to the Federation. A stable Nagaril society is also very important."

"I don't know much about economics, but I know that Nagaril is a strategic location. Once we lose control of Nagaril, let it become chaotic."

"The most powerful deterrent to Pengeo's military group has been lost!"

"This is very likely to cause some consequences that we cannot predict, and they may even invade Nagaril!"

"So it is very necessary to resolve the riot in Nagaril as soon as possible, and that is why I am here."

"On behalf of the South-Central Military Region, I apply to go to Nagalier to suppress the riots. It will not take more than a week at most, and we can restore Nagalier to its former peace!"

The feeling when Peleus met Mr. President this time was different from the past.

He could feel that there seemed to be an extra layer of estrangement between him and Mr. President?

He didn't know what was going on, so he was careful about his attitude and the way he spoke.

After hearing this, Mr. President did not say anything and just nodded, "The stability of Nagaril is indeed very important. I will seriously consider this matter."

"Is there anything else?"

Peleus was suddenly at a loss for words. He shook his head, "No more."

The president took a sip of coffee, chatted a few words about the scandal, then stood up, shook hands with Peleus, and sent him away.

As for whether he agreed or not, he said he would consider it carefully!

After seeing off Peleus, who was obviously a little out of sorts, Mr. President returned to his chair and sat down.

He lit a cigarette and thought about the "entertainment" last night.

He, Lynch, Connor, and the lieutenant general of the Western Military District.

They had no obvious target topic together. They just sat together and chatted about the international situation, domestic scandals, and the riots in Nagaril.

It looked like we didn't talk about anything, but actually we talked about a lot of things.

The federal government, capitalists, and federal military, a tight, nascent interest group is forming.

Mr. President is so excited!

Although power is good, he has lost the opportunity to hold power. The most important thing for him now is to join such an interest group.

On the contrary, Peleus was no longer on his list of choices. Peleus's parents' families and the core capitalists of the military-industrial group already had a complete and well-organized interest group.

If you join at this time, you won't even get a slightly more important position, and you can only be at the bottom of the entire interest group.

On the contrary, it is a new interest group on Lynch's side. Once he joins, he will be at least a middle-level and high-level person.

And he won’t be left out for the next eight years or more.

At the same time, this interest group will continue to expand!

What he got was much more than those who followed Peleus!

In the past, there was no way to stand with the most powerful military, even if it was just a sip of soup.

But now that there are better choices, why choose those people like Peleus?

The President glanced at the document on top, sent by the Department of Defense.

After opening it and reading a few pages, I threw it in the trash.

He can't sign the action order of the Western Military Region yet. He needs to wait for a signal!

A signal from Nagaril.

After all, Nagaril is a sovereign and independent country. As an ally of Nagaril, the Federation has no reason to take the initiative to send troops when Nagaril itself does not raise its voice.

Moreover, the domestic economy has not yet been fatally affected by the riots in Nagaril. Rushing to sign the directive will only make the people dissatisfied with themselves.

So he has to wait a while for the situation to continue to ferment!

For three days in a row, the Federation maintained a "highly concerned" attitude towards the riots in Nagaril. This also made the riots in Nagaril larger in scale and affected a wider range of disasters. Some riot groups even started to Heading towards the central region of Nagaril.

In addition to the international condemnation of the organizers of the riots and the pity for the people injured and killed in the riots, these changes have also affected the world's stock prices.

In particular, the Federal Industrial Index has plummeted by 9% for a week, creating the largest one-week decline in ten years!

Many flights were stopped at the same time, causing cargo to pile up at federal ports!

Entrepreneurs of small and medium-sized enterprises are already in dire straits because their inability to deliver goods means they will be subject to claims for breach of contract.

The price of a breach of contract claim is often bankruptcy!

Federal entrepreneurs are very "smart". They will take a lot of orders at once, and they will do whichever order is due first.

Some people may ask, why not take orders one by one?

The person who asked this question obviously doesn't know much about real shopping malls, nor does he understand issues such as the pressure on operators.

The more orders there are, the more profits there will be. As long as they are not overdue, why not take on more work?

But they didn't expect that this time they would be affected by the riots in Nagaril, which would prevent containers from being sent out in some areas.

These companies that are about to default have encountered operational risks, and many workers have also been affected.

Since the reform of the federal social security system, part of employees' pension insurance has been borne by enterprises, the safety of enterprises has become the most concerned thing among workers!

Soon, there were marches on the federal roads, holding banners reading "The world needs peace" and starting petitions.

At this time, the speakers of the Nagalir United Parliament also expressed that they were powerless to deal with the current situation and requested the federal official force to intervene...
