Blackstone Code Chapter 1213: You may not believe it
Let a private military outsourcing company be in charge of armed friction between states, does that sound like... a joke?
But no one really thinks this joke is funny, the core force in Lynch's hands is not the elite, experienced employees of Blackstone Security, but his aircraft and his cluster bombs.
These are the things that can really give the Army the most casualties, especially as bombers become even more important now that there is no good and effective air defense.
The performance of Blackstone Security in the North is also seen by everyone. Although it did suffer a lot of setbacks at the beginning, it was, after all, what the military-centered command system encountered.
Once the Blackrock Commander was in place, everything became stable.
And Lynch himself said that he was not trying to show Pengio's army, but to create time conditions for the federal regrouping, so... this is not a joke.
With more than 10,000 people going out and desperately biting the enemy, dragging them on the front line for a week is enough to send hundreds of thousands of federal troops to Nagalil.
In addition, the military industry group hopes to continue to cooperate with Blackstone Security, and some new equipment needs to be tested, so there seems to be no reason to refuse.
The official of the Ministry of Defense licked his lips, "Mr. Lynch, your proposal is good, it's just...", he shook his head, "Your price is too high."
The president continued, "Yes, six hundred million, I think it's a lot."
This money is actually nothing to the Navy.
They have a solid track record and all budgets are green-lighted along the way.
However, the situation with the Army is different. The disarmament ended last year, and the total number of the Army in the Federation now remains around one million, including the militias.
The annual military expenditure is less than eight billion, of which five billion are the various salaries and daily expenses of the army soldiers.
What's left is the maintenance cost of some bases and military machinery, part of the military cost of refitting, and a small amount of activity expenses.
Congress is also not as kind to the Army as it is to the Navy, which, after all, has not proven their strength.
This is not because Congress is too philistine. To a certain extent, capital and politics have an obligation to restrain the uncontrolled expansion of the military's power. They don't want any warlords to appear in the federation, so the military budget must be strangled.
Now Lynch wants so much money all at once that the Army can't get it.
No money is the key.
Lynch obviously knew the problem, and it was a consensus that the Army had no money.
Only at this time, he looked at everyone with a dazed look...as if he was facing a mentally impaired person, "Why...you always feel that this money is for us out?"
The soot rolled down from the cigarette butt. The creature's ability to visually capture the dynamic is stronger than the static one. Lynch avoided it for a while, avoiding the traces the soot left on his thousand-piece trousers.
He took another puff of his cigarette, walked over to the coffee table, and snuffed out the cigarette butt.
Only at this time did the people in the room understand Lynch's words, including Mr. Truman, who understood what he meant.
He looked at Lynch and asked, "Will someone else pay for us?"
Lynch sat on the sofa, nodded, "Yes, Mr. Truman...", then looked at Mr. President, "Mr. President...", followed by others.
He has once again taken control of the conversation going on in this house about the future of a country.
"In my opinion, the evil group with the Pontgio Empire at its core is the enemy of all the Justice Leagues. Now the evil Pontio Empire has begun to re-attempt to challenge the existing order of the world and destroy the atmosphere of peace."
"Then, as our righteous comrades, should all the members of the World Development Council, as well as those countries that stood against them in the First World War, should also contribute?"
Mr. Trueman's eyes lit up, he immediately realized what Lynch was thinking, and then almost applauded for Lynch's proposal!
Others have also noticed Mr. Truman's strangeness. Mr. President is the oldest here, so he has no worries. "It looks like you understand what Lynch means?"
"I'm so old, please don't mess with my dry brain every day, okay?"
Mr. Truman looked at Lynch, and Lynch continued with a smile, "All companions who stand on the side of justice must contribute to this military operation."
"If they can't send their troops to help us defend against the invasion of Pengio's army, then we have reason to suspect that they have been bought by the evil syndicate to stand against us."
"Of course, there are indeed some countries where the military is not as capable as the street gangs, such as Gevra, it's a little embarrassing for them to come, but we can charge them for this military fee."
"The ability to contribute, the incompetence to contribute money, this is the real reason why we form a strategic alliance!"
"We can stand in the same trench, in order to jointly fight against the evil group of Pengio!"
Mr. Trueman added, deep down, "This is **** blackmail!"
Of course he wouldn't say it, at least not in front of so many people, and he would still say it to the President in private.
The dignitary of the Ministry of Defense didn't even think there was such a **** way to raise military funds, and then his eyes turned to the senators.
The senators were also... blown away by Lynch's magical idea, and one of them pushed the frame of his glasses to hide his embarrassment when his mind went blank.
He coughed, "If this money doesn't need to go through the special budget and military budget, we don't think we have a problem."
"And such actions, which obviously have a solidifying effect on the international community, will obviously have the support of Congress and the people will like it."
The Commonwealth is so "romantic", always thinking about taking more responsibility, now the opportunity has arisen, which is a good thing for the entire Commonwealth society.
"We occupy an important position in an important group and lead a very important action", what can be more motivating than these ordinary people?
Maybe they will be more aggressive when it comes to tax returns, after all, every penny turns into a bullet of justice and shatters the head of evil!
Lynch looked at Mr. President with a smile, "Mr. President, as the two core countries of the last world war, Guevra's hatred of Pongio is definitely the deepest, maybe you can give their Prime Minister, or The emperor made a phone call to chat about our thoughts?"
"If we can't repel the Pengios and get them into Nagalil, then they have a springboard to Ameria!"
Go straight to the point!
The current Gevran has the opposition between the noble group and the royal family, and there are security issues in the Amelia region. It is impossible for them to mobilize the army on a large scale at such a sensitive time.
Even if the transfer is useless, those army masters will definitely suffer heavy casualties. Instead of paying a lot of pensions, it is better to accept the fate of being extorted from the beginning, and maybe save a little.
Mr. President laughed and joked, "I'm very good at this!"
With a very standard guideline, the meeting was soon over, and the idea that Blackrock Security would also be involved in the fight was included in the overall plan.
Of course, this also depends on the results of negotiations with other countries. Anyway, the Army cannot afford the money.
When sending Lynch away, standing by the car, Mr. Trueman asked curiously, "How did you come up with this method to blackmail those people?"
The people he was talking about were actually the rulers, leaders and the like of those countries.
Lynch stood by the car, looking up at the clear sky, the sun draped over him like a veil.
He's smiling, young and confident, and can always make people believe every word he says without knowing it.
"A just world is related to the future of all human beings. Whether it is Mr. President or the homeless on the roadside, they must and must shoulder the responsibility of maintaining world peace!"
After watching Lynch leave, Mr. Trueman did not go back to the President's Office, he went directly to his own office, and he had to talk to the diplomats of these countries about this and ask them to give some support.
Whether it's supporting troops or supporting cash, you can!
And Mr. President called the Prime Minister of Gefra, now everyone knows who Gefra is in charge, even if His Majesty the Emperor agrees, it is useless.
The financial power of the entire Gavra Empire rests in the hands of the Prime Minister. If the Prime Minister does not nod, the King has nothing to do.
Gavra's prime minister was still a little surprised by the sudden call from the federal president, and he quickly stepped into the role after a brief surprise.
The President of the Federation said those words after he had no nourishment and knew that the other party could not agree to invite the other party to come to play with him.
His Excellency the Prime Minister of Guevra did not react at first. He has been spending all his energy in the political struggle with those in the royal family during this time, and he is not very concerned about the outside world.
He just knew that there was such a thing, but for some reason it had something to do with Gavra, and it had something to do with himself.
But he had to admit that the words of the President of the ~IndoMTL.com~ Federation did make him a little uneasy.
If the Pengios use Nagalil as a springboard to attack Amelia, the domestic situation may change in an instant.
War can bring about a terrible centralization, and as the highest person in the centralization, His Majesty the Emperor has reason to directly take over the country's army!
This will be a fatal blow to their attempts to change Gafra's political system.
So it seems that giving some money is the best solution?
He didn't reply right away, but told the other person to think about it and discuss it.
After hanging up the phone, he called the housekeeper, ready to ask the housekeeper to change the next itinerary.
But I don't know what I thought, and I have been silent.
After a while, the butler tentatively called "Sir", and the Prime Minister came back to his senses.
He had a weird smile on his face, "You may not believe it, I was blackmailed by the president of the Baylor Federation just now..."
