There are not many people in this world who can withstand a comprehensive investigation, including himself.

Because human desires are endless, and no one knows whether they may have done something wrong at some point, but did not discover it.

No one can clearly determine whether every decision they make is appropriate.

So no one can withstand the investigation!

Legal issues, moral issues, these are all problems.

The direction of the media is becoming polarized. Some media and reporters believe that the military has sacrificed a lot in the war and should no longer examine the military with the same eyes as prisoners.

He also advocated for the military to conduct self-examination and called on people to believe in the integrity of the military.

The military is a special institution, and it should continue to maintain its independence and report directly to the president, rather than letting the Department of Defense have the power to constrain them.

However, some media and public opinion believe that even if the military paid a heavy price for the Federation to win the war, it cannot completely abandon the supervision of the military.

If someone can do whatever they want as long as they make meritorious deeds, the Federation will be finished soon.

Moreover, the military should actively cooperate with this review. Only in this way can it prove to the initiators of this issue and society that they are honest.

All accusations are false.

There are many supporters of both views, and it seems like... this is a good thing, but it's not.

Peleus's father and grandfather were here at the weekend.

In addition to their family, there are also some relatives and some members of interest groups who are directly related to them.

Now Peleus's grandfather is still in charge here. His biological grandparents are generals of the federal army and one of the two generals of the federal army.

There is also an army general in the Ministry of Defense who was previously the commander of the Northern Military District.

There was some power transaction behind this. After he "passed" the position of commander of the Northern Military Region to the next commander, he entered the Ministry of National Defense as a senior executive of the Ministry of National Defense and was promoted to the rank of general.

Generals with real power and civilian generals of the Ministry of National Defense are completely different concepts.

Peleus's grandfather looked unhappy. During this period, some reports in the media and pressure from public opinion were directly backlogged on these generals.

The federal government actually spent more than 66 billion in military expenditures before and after the war, including budgeted and temporary requests.

When the war broke out, the military's power expanded without limit. At the same time, Mr. Trueman, the president at the time, was the spokesperson of the military. Congress did not dare to block these issues and could not block them.

After all, for the Federal Congress at that time, it was just a decoration.

As long as Mr. Trueman signs the military funding application, the funds will be allocated directly from the treasury without Congressional approval.

According to the provisions of the Federal Charter, the President has the highest centralized power during war!

A president who came from the military and a military at war, this is a fucking super steel hedgehog.

Mr. Trueman intended to ease some of the differences and conflicts between him and Congress, so Congress was not completely shut down. Some documents were still sent to Congress for discussion.

But people like these in Congress may not accept this!

No one had raised these matters before, so naturally no one would take the initiative to cause trouble because they thought they had nothing to do.

But after someone brought it up, everyone really wanted to know where the money was spent.

"Public opinion is very unfavorable to us, and the current president is not Trueman. He is a conservative."

"He would just pretend not to see the unfair treatment we suffered."

"For us now, we are facing the second greatest threat after Pengeo's army!"

"If we're not careful, we'll be in big trouble!"

Peleus's grandfather's words made everyone's hearts sink. Of the 66 billion military expenditures, approximately 28 billion were used for soldiers' salaries.

Sounds a little scary?

But this is the fact. If soldiers were not consumed quickly in the later stages of the war, this cost may have been higher.

The remaining amount is close to 40 billion, and more than 30 billion are accounted for, including the purchase, maintenance, and supply of consumables of various military equipment.

In fact, countries such as Gaevra also provided the federation with approximately 6 billion federal soles in military expenditures, but these military expenditures were not included in the federal military budget and applications.

From an outside perspective, the federal army spent approximately 74 billion to 75 billion federal soles on this war.

Among them, it can be traced and comes from the federal domestic funds of 66 billion. Only a little over 64 billion can be found.

There are more than one billion yuan, as well as funds supported by other countries, which cannot be found!

Where the money went, no one can tell.

In fact, this money may not be the result of embezzlement by the military leaders themselves. It is more likely that some losses are not included in the calculation, or that the people below are embezzling the money during the transfer process.

This is not to say that there are no corruption problems at the top of the federal military. They also have problems, but their problems are not entirely due to these problems.

In the past, no one would check military expenditures, which was a thankless task, but now that public opinion has begun to advocate, it has become more difficult to handle.

Everyone was silent and looked ugly. As the main battle zone, if there were no problems, everyone would not have any problems.

But once a problem is discovered, many people will be implicated.

Interests do not appear as independent individuals in social relationships. They are like chains, connecting many nodes to form a track for the transmission of interests.

Peleus's grandfather took out his pipe and took two puffs. "The most important thing now is that you need to check yourself when you go back."

"I know some people have a little problem and like to take things that don't belong to them."

"In the past, everyone could pretend not to see this kind of thing, but not now."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Find your own problems clearly, and then we will consider other problems."

Everyone nodded in agreement. After losing Mr. Trueman, the military actually lost its most solid support.

If Mr. Trueman is still in office now, who would dare to question the military casually?

It is a pity that after Mr. Trueman left, no one can protect the military from the wind and rain in the political arena.

This also gave people in the room the idea of ​​digging out the second Mr. Trueman again.

"General, if we conduct self-examination now, will it cause opposition from some people below?"

The person who spoke was a major general, and he was also the young leader of their faction. If nothing else happened, he would be Peleus's main support in the future.

Peleus's grandfather frowned, "You can't even control the people under your command. Are you too incompetent as a general?"

"What we need is to dig out those problems and throw them out, rather than thinking about whether anyone will be offended."

"I have been thinking about how to lower our disarmament targets before, and your words reminded me."

"If someone's opposition is too strong, send them home..."

After everyone else left, the three of them returned to the study alone.

"I remember you and Lynch had a good relationship because of Trueman, but now he doesn't seem to be on our side." The old general had something he didn't say just now.

The military does not mean that there is really no political environment. The military is actually similar to the political arena, but it is relatively simple and simple.

But that doesn't mean there aren't any.

There are also political strife and political struggles here.

The old general could tell at a glance that there were some people like Lynch in the mainstream public opinion who were adding fuel to the flames. Lin Qi had always been in a cooperative relationship with the military. He was curious as to why Lynch would side with the military this time.

on the opposite side.

You know, his younger brother, who is now the admiral, also had face-to-face contact with Lynch.

He also said that Lynch is a very outstanding young man who can be properly contacted to increase understanding and deepen friendship.

Coupled with the relationship between Lynch and Trueman, it is difficult for the old general to imagine why Lynch has also become an "enemy" of the military.

Peleus did not dare to hide anything and told some things, including his suspicion that Trueman had left something important to Lynch, something important enough to make him stand down at any time.

This also made Peleus's father and grandfather fall into deep thought.

For outsiders, it would be difficult to know how senior military officials make money.

For example, the consumption of the simplest bullets is actually not as large as imagined, so each military region will maintain a certain consumption.

But sometimes they didn't consume it, but reported a number, and then the empty truck with bullets seemed to go back and forth several times, and the bullets in the magazine were filled.

The money to buy bullets will fall into the pockets of the generals.

There are so many places to start with losses, scrapping, and repairs.

Mr. Trueman came from the military, and it is indeed possible that he knows how senior military officials make money.

If he really left something for Lynch as Peleus said, it would be really hard to handle.

The old general thought for a while and asked, "You said Trueman left you a letter. Does the letter contain any tips for dealing with Lynch?"

Peleus shook his head, "It reminded me to pay attention to the development of Lynch and some big capitalists. Once they influence the political arena too much, the military will become the last guarantee to ensure that the federal government is not completely destroyed."

"But when dealing with Lynch, he just reminded me to pay attention and take special measures when necessary, but he did not tell me what special measures were, nor did he provide additional content."

The military cannot interfere with the functioning of society. This is written into the charter. Even if he has evidence, Lynch must be investigated or arrested through agencies such as the FBI and the Security Council.

The military has neither the conditions nor the qualifications to take action directly against Lynch.

This is also the reason why he is so miserable now. The more unfavorable public opinion is to the military, the less he can rashly attack Lynch.
