Blackstone Code

If next year's military budget is cut by more than half and then disarmament is carried out, it will be a terrible disaster for the Western Military District and the Central and Southern Military District!

The Northern Military Region doesn't care much about this. They are very busy at work and have replaced part of the police's duties. Military patrol teams with standard weapons can be seen everywhere on the streets.

Therefore, there is a high probability that not only will they not cut the budget, they may also increase it.

After all, everyone is working, and as long as there is work loss, there will be additional expenses.

But the Western Military Region and the Central and Southern Military Region are bound to be the targets of "double reduction"!

(Reduce military spending, downsize)

At this time, the only person the commander of the Western Military Region could think of who had great influence on the presidential palace and had good cooperation with the military was Lynch.

He tried calling others, including Connor directly, but to no avail, and Connor refused to answer his calls.

The attitude of the Ministry of National Defense was also very ambiguous, and this ambiguity made him a little uneasy. It was as painful as slowly drowning in water!

So after much deliberation, in the end only Lynch seemed to be able to help him.

He also understood that using Lin Qi's favor would cost a lot.

But at this time, there was no more room for choice. No matter what Lynch asked for, he planned to agree to it.

"Your attitude is very ambiguous when it comes to the issue of Peleus and his family."

After Lynch thought for a moment, he directly hit the core of the problem, "When Connor, and more people, including you yourself, realize that the existence of the Peleus family will become an unstable time bomb in the Federation, when."

"The federal government is already looking at dismantling it, but you're on a shaky footing."

"This is not an election, Commander."

"If this was an election, you could swing as far as you wanted to get all the benefits you wanted from both of their camps."

"This is a war, a head-to-head confrontation, and you have to pick a side."

"You did not choose the Peleus family, nor did you choose the federal government. This is the stupidest thing about you and the other commander!"

"If you choose to side with the federal government, no one will give you a hard time now."

"Or if you side with the Peleus family, maybe now you are celebrating your victory with champagne at the Presidential Palace."

"You mistakenly chose the worst option, and you deserve the result now."

The commander of the Western Military Region hurriedly explained, "We can compensate..."

"But people are already dead, and your compensation means nothing to those who are already dead!"

"I am not a noble person, and I don't want to talk to you about noble things. If you make a mistake, you will have to bear the consequences."

"If you want the federal government to relax some of the next policies, I can't do that."

"But if you can cooperate, there may be some turning points."

The commander of the Western Military Region understood what Lynch meant. The federal government held a butcher knife high and wanted to cut an arm off of him.

Now he is actively extending his arms to let the federal government chop him one more time.

Doing this will definitely allow him to gain certain points with the federal government, but it will also cause him considerable harm.

The phone fell into silence. It was a difficult decision.

After a while, the commander of the Western Military Region asked solemnly, "Is this the only way we can go?"

Lynch sighed softly, "Because of our good cooperation in the past, I will give you a small suggestion. You are free to adopt it or not. I am only responsible for telling you my thoughts."

"By the way, do you have the determination to launch a military coup?"

The commander of the Southwest Military Region's expression froze, and his heartbeat slowed down a beat, but then he began to think about Lynch's words.

After about ten seconds, he replied, "I can't do this."

"You can't do it, or you don't want to tell me that you can't do it?"

Without waiting for his answer, Lynch continued, "Actually, none of this matters to me. There are only three choices left for you now."

"First, unite the Central and South Military Region to launch a military coup. As long as you can advance the troops to Bupen and eliminate the federal air force in the warning zone, you will win."

"Second, do nothing, bear the punishment imposed on you by the federal government, and then put your tail between your legs and be a human being. In this way, you may be able to persist until the Ice Age comes."

"Third, do what I just said, admit your mistakes, take the initiative, and cater more."

"I have one more meeting, so I won't talk to you any more. Please think about it carefully."

After Lin Qi finished speaking, he hung up the phone without giving the other party a chance to respond.

He put out the cigarette in the ashtray, patted his trousers and stood up, walked out of the lounge, and said to the secretary at the door, "If there is another call, tell them that I am having an important meeting, and ask them to wait until the afternoon." I call."

He took two steps and suddenly paused, "By the way, you can contact me at the presidential palace and the president's phone number."

After returning to the conference room, Lynch did not take this matter to heart. If the Peleus family's attack on Bupen was still possible, it would be successful.

So now in a state of war readiness, and with the federal government's extreme distrust of the military.

As long as these two military regions move, they will suffer a devastating blow!

The Federal Air Force will launch a full-scale attack to directly destroy their ground forces. It can even be said that Connor hopes they can do something small.

As for whether the two commanders have the confidence and determination to fight to the death, Lynch is not too worried. No matter whether they struggle or not, the outcome has already been decided.

After returning to the conference room, everyone obviously couldn't understand the manual in their hands, but some people realized that it might change the world.

The first person to speak was the CEO, "Mr. Lynch, I have never seen such a thing before. I mean, if it suddenly loses power, will there be any damage?"

"If the battery is removed from our calculator and the battery is reinstalled, it will not be able to retain the calculation results obtained before the power was lost."

"If this is the case with this mainframe computer, wouldn't it be too risky?"

Lynch pointed at him, "A good question!"

"This is also the biggest difference between the large-scale computing we are developing and the computers we know. It can store and process some data and information, and is easy to manage."

“The most important thing is its immediacy and convenience!”

“A bank teller in Nagaril operates a computer and adds a dollar to an account, and within minutes, our banks around the world know that a dollar has been added to the account.”

"The purpose of doing this is to ensure that in the Ice Age, we are still the most powerful bank, no one!"

"The whole world will use our information base and database, and we only need to be responsible for the operation of the 'main server' to perform the supervision function of lower-level institutions."

"We can stop an account at any time, and with the cooperation of the shelter officials, we will become the largest organization and institution besides the official ones."

Suddenly the conference room became lively, everyone was discussing what Lynch said.

After about three or four minutes, it gradually became quiet.

One of the managing directors on the board asked, "Mr. Lynch, does it have a prototype yet?"

“We want to actually do it!”

Lynch nodded, "The prototype is already available. If you are interested, I will take you to actually observe and operate it in a few days."

"However, the communication satellite is still under study. Its core technical problems have been solved and we are improving it in further details."

"According to the institute's report, in up to four years we can attempt preliminary laying."

"Before that, the first thing we need to do is to be fully prepared for the arrival of the information age."

"I need you to deduplicate the bank accounts within Blackstone Bank and clarify the relationships and affiliations between these accounts."

"After the computer is installed, all this information will be fully logged into the computer server, so we must make preliminary preparations."

The Commonwealth Bank is still implementing paper-based office operations. Not to mention cross-state payments, even cross-city payments may not be possible.

Therefore, this also leads to the existence of many duplicate account names in accounts in each state. Once these accounts are not deduplicated, they will cause great commotion.

"I would like to make a suggestion here. Before we start the specific work, we can consider adding a state code or area code in front of the existing account number to distinguish it."

"Anyway, you can also make some suggestions, and we will continue to discuss them at the meeting."

"Then let's move on to the next topic..."

While Lynch was talking about the bank's future transformation and development, Connor was also discussing the arrangements for the next few things with members of Congress.

"The military is no longer reliable!" Although Connor did not show any indignation, his tone and attitude all showed his inner emotions.

"If they could have cooperated with us earlier to control the Peleus family, these bad things would not have happened."

"They want to hedge their bets. If we can't control the Peleus family, we can't sink their fleet."

"Maybe their troops are parked on the lawn outside the Presidential Palace now!"

"So there must be massive disarmament next year!"

The members of the Military Committee pondered for a moment and asked, "How much reduction do you plan to reduce?"

Connor did not make any test, and directly gave a very surprising number, "I think the number of troops should not exceed 300,000!"
