Blackstone Code

In a bright room, a group of middle-aged people who looked to be in their thirties or forties were sitting together.

The sitting postures of these people are very standard. Of course, relatively speaking, compared with the free and loose postures of ordinary people, their sitting postures are already very disciplined.

In front of them was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a full summer military uniform, but missing his military rank.

There were a hundred blackboards placed next to him, with some patterns drawn on them and many marks, including streets, buildings, and time.

"...Who else has questions?"

None of the people below answered. No answer means there are no questions. If anyone has questions, they will definitely raise their hands.

The middle-aged officer's eyes swept over everyone. There were more than 20 people here, all of whom were his old subordinates. They had all worked together for many years.

The relationship between them is actually more like brothers in a big family than simple comrades-in-arms.

There is no direct blood connection, but they are both one of the most important people to each other.

When his eyes returned from the last person, the officer's serious expression revealed a smile that was hard to distinguish, and he looked a little bitter.

He sighed, "Now that we've finished talking about the business, it's time to talk about things that have nothing to do with the business."

"Even in the second before the mission starts, if someone wants to quit, they can quit. But once the mission starts, you won't have any chance."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

The more than twenty people remained silent, which made the emotional changes on the officer's face even more obvious.

"Time flies by so fast. I thought we could carry this honor for a lifetime, but the world has become so unexpected that I was caught off guard."

"I hope you have written your suicide notes, because we may not have so much time for you to sort out your emotions."

It was still a quiet room, no one made a sound.

He nodded, "Okay, boys, get ready for action..."

"Remember, we are a family!"

After these people left, the officer found a chair and sat down. He lowered his head, took out a cigarette, and lit it for himself.

He took out his wallet from his pocket and took out one of the photos. The sunlight that penetrated the glass window shone on the photo, making the smiles of the two people in the photo become bright.

It was a photo of him and his son, the two of them on a warship, and he had his arms around his son's shoulders.

At that time, he was a major and his son was a staff sergeant. Both of them smiled brightly, and this was the last photo of them.

At the age of twenty-four, life had just begun, and everything came to an abrupt end before the gorgeous music could be played.

The officer's index finger gently touched the photo, as if touching his son's cheek.

His son died in the Penteo landing battle. The landing battle was like a harvester of life. No matter how many people rushed up on the first day, they would fall one by one.

Everyone is repeating those simple and fatal actions, and the entire beach is dyed red!

He knew that the landing battle was cruel, but this was his mission, and he was proud of his actions and his determination.

His father was a soldier, his son was a soldier, and he himself was a soldier.

His father died of physical reasons a few years ago, and his son died in the war.

After all, nearly one million people died in the war, and the total population of the Federation was more than 80 million. On average, it can be said that for every three or four generations of a family, one young man was killed in battle.

He won't blame anyone. It's not just his children who died. War is like this. No one knows whether they are lucky enough or not to survive.

Maybe God felt that he should meet him earlier and take him away in advance, or he might hate himself and let himself live.

The pension package provided by the federal government after the war can only be said to be...unsatisfactory.

In fact, many families are very dissatisfied with this pension. The salary standard of federal soldiers is not high, and the pension is not very high, not to mention the subsequent benefits, which are basically equivalent to nothing.

His wife became ill because of the grief over the death of their child. When he needed help the most, the federal government failed to give him much help!

Except for the first pension, other compensations are paid intermittently. Of course, this cannot be blamed on the federal government. After all, the federal government did not realize that there would be such huge casualties!

Just various pensions, compensation, and subsidies cost more than 10 billion!

At that time, it was not like now. The government budget was very tight and there was no way to provide better treatment.

He applied for charity assistance, but received no response.

Just when he was desperate, the Peleus family came to help. They gave him money so that he could treat his wife and provide better medical services.

Although he failed to save her in the end, he had no regrets because he had tried his best!

This kind of thing didn't just happen to him, it happened to many other people, which may be one of the reasons why Mr. Trueman won the war with the Union, but he was not all praised!

There is always a reason for both praise and praise!

The father who pulled out a weapon against Mr. Trueman probably had no fear or regret in his heart at the moment he pulled the trigger, only a sense of relief and joy.

Because he made for his son the choice that best represented his responsibility as a father among the many choices he made!

Large numbers of wounded soldiers were killed, disabled soldiers faced a lack of money for treatment or other problems, and the federal government abandoned them after the war.

Maybe it can't be said to be abandoned, but at least it doesn't really solve their difficulties.

It is not they themselves who have caused these difficulties, but their love and loyalty to the country. This is the most unacceptable thing.

They proved their loyalty to this country, only to receive pain in return.

The Peleus family helped many officers and soldiers during this period, giving them money and helping them find social resources, so these people were willing to work hard for them!

The cigarette burned out quietly, burning his fingers. He glanced at the almost-burnt cigarette in his hand and threw it to the ground.

He put the photo back in his wallet and the wallet back in his pocket.

This time, they are going to do something big!

Three days later, the continued fermentation of public opinion and the manipulation of some people caused many family members of soldiers who were killed and disabled in the war to join this massive parade.

The federal government has been under a lot of pressure, and Congress has been disgraced. The former leader of the investigation team has been isolated for review, and it is said that he may be sent to court for malfeasance in his duties.

Life was not easy for others either. A war hero died inexplicably. The Peleus family, especially the Admiral, also stood up and called for the "truth". Connor couldn't suppress his influence at all!

Perhaps only Mr. Trueman can suppress his voice, but unfortunately, Mr. Trueman has already gone one step ahead to see God.

Seeing that the situation is developing more and more out of control, some differences have also arisen within Congress.

Some members of the House of Representatives believe that it is almost time to sit down and talk with the Peleus family. If the situation goes one step further, there will be no room for everyone to look back.

Before the situation becomes uncontrollable, if a compromise can be reached now, it may be the best way.

Just like in the past, they threw out some scapegoats, and then dealt with these people publicly, giving the people the "truth" they thought and needed. Everything ended here, it was perfect!

But there are also some council members who believe that if they stop now, the Peleus family will become even more unscrupulous.

After the shelter era, no one can restrict them anymore!

The capital group related to the Peleus family is working frantically, and the lobbying team they purchased is running frantically in the Capitol and Bupen.

This may be the scary thing about capital. As long as politicians cannot stand together wholeheartedly, they can change some people's positions!

The next day, some mainstream media suddenly exposed a large number of investigation materials that had been investigated and some that had yet to be confirmed.

These include a large number of profit transfers, official crimes, and some deeper contents that have not been disclosed in previous military sex scandal cases.

These things reveal in depth the internal chaos and corruption of the military, and there are also a large number of horrific cases, including a large number of murders.

It also introduced that after leaving the Federation Navy, some retired navy members, with the secret support of the Peleus family, formed the most ferocious pirate gang in the Eastern Ocean.

For the development of the Peleus family and the shipping group, these people robbed, bombarded, and even sank many transport ships that did not belong to their interest groups, and executed a large number of innocent people.

The already very hot public opinion has been ignited again, and the whole world's attention seems to be focused on this.

Congress, which had been somewhat divided, was reunited.

The people and public opinion are really easy to manipulate. People always feel that the information they obtain is the truth. The people's position swings left and right, and the public opinion swings left and right, causing the attitude of Congress to constantly change.

August can be said to be the hottest month, but the temperature in Bupen at this time is only 19 degrees, and sometimes it is only 14 or 5 degrees, or even lower when it is cloudy.

Peleus and some of his brothers and sisters were already preparing to leave.

A large amount of money, supplies, and soldiers left the Federation through various means, and the shipping group provided a lot of help.

For these capitalists, it is also a solution to send Peleus and his family away as soon as possible.

At least don't draw attention to them.

But now to send them away, there is still something missing, something to attract people's attention.

Friday is the busiest time in the Capitol because Saturday is the day off.

For the Federation, weekends are a symbol of civilization, development, and advancement, so they have long started to implement the weekend system.

In the next two days, most departments of Congress will be in a "work suspension" state, so for some people who are very anxious to solve work issues, Friday is the busiest day!

Either those who deal with the problem, or those who provide it!

I recently saw some comments that the current protagonist solves problems too smoothly.

In fact, this problem does exist, but there is no way to avoid it. This is not an upgrade and monster killing novel. A level 1 wooden sword can fight a level 1 crayfish, a +99 purple gold wooden sword can fight a +99 purple gold crayfish, and you can always find an equal opponent.

From the perspective of this book, standing in Lynch's position, there is the Federal Congress and the President on the left, countless wealth on the right, and the largest private armed force behind him.

If under such circumstances, you have to rack your brains to deal with some enemies and survive from a close call, that would be the biggest unreasonableness.

Anyway, that’s what I think [doge]
