"For a long time, Titan Industries and the military have reached a tacit understanding, that is, the military falsely reports the supplies it needs, obtains more ration coupons, and then gives the ration coupons to Titan Industries, which is controlled by Titan Industries.
The industry will submit reimbursements to the government, and the money obtained will be shared with the military." Groka sighed, "With the size of the military and Titan Industries, even if they only make a small false report, they can obtain high reimbursement funds.
Moreover, 'Gishen Industries' has long been receiving subsidies and preferential treatment for various commercial activities due to its 'outstanding contribution to the Central Region'."
"Has the government been deceived so blindly?" Leon couldn't help but ask.
"Of course government officials have also thought about the need to prevent such situations. The Audit Bureau, the Taxation Bureau, and even the Zhengzheng Bureau and other departments do not eat dry bread." Groka looked at Leon, "But obviously, compared to dry bread,
Some people want something better to eat."
Liang understood: "So in order to hide it from the superiors, Titan Industries and the military bribed many people and bribed the inspectors...including Director Baroque?"
"That's right." Groka nodded, "That's why it was obviously just an affair between Titan Industries and the military, but now it involves so many departments and so many people. The information in the file bag can be seen everywhere in the various departments
The actions of those who have been bribed."
Wei Yin clapped his hands: "It's hard for so many people from different departments to work together and be united. If it's not illegal, it can be regarded as a way to get rich."
Are we all doing bad things together...Leon twitched his lips.
Groka continued: "What's even more terrible is that Titan Industries and the military not only tampered with daily supplies, but also made false reports to a certain extent in terms of ordnance. Titan Industries is responsible for arms production, and the military
The actual firepower Fang currently has is about one-third less than what was stated on paper."
"It's okay, isn't there only one third left?" Wein shrugged.
It is conceivable that if the civil war really broke out and the regent faced the attack of the grand dukes, he would be shocked to find that his own firepower was reduced by one-third before he started firing.
"Since the first question is about ration coupons, what about the other question?"
"Another issue caused by the private transactions between 'Titan Industries' and the military is the issue of doping." Groka said, "'Titan Industries' is developing a new type of stimulant, and some investment in this type of stimulant has already been made.
It’s time to use it.”
"Doping?" Wein raised his eyebrows, "This shouldn't be under the control of Titan Industries, right?"
This type of pharmaceutical products should belong to "Theseus Life" according to the functional division of the three giant companies in the Central Region.
"Obviously Titan Industries thinks they can control it." Groka shook his head. "The doping problem dates back several years ago. At that time, a scholar from the Royal Academy of Sciences developed a new type of stimulant. He hoped to cooperate with 'Int.
"We will cooperate with Hughes Life to improve this type of stimulant and eventually transform it from experimental products into products for production and use."
The Royal Academy of Sciences is the highest academic institution in the United Empire. It is located on the outskirts of the capital, King's Landing, and is almost the size of a town. Not only do the top scholars from the Central Region gather here, but scholars from other duchies also come here from time to time for academic exchanges. They can be described as a group of heroes.
Gathering. It is currently unknown what those grand dukes are hiding in private, but at least on the surface, the Royal Academy of Sciences is the leader in academic research in various scientific fields, ranging from natural sciences to social sciences.
It is easy for so many elites to come together to create sparks of thinking, but there is also a problem that comes with it, that is, there are too many elites and there are too many important studies. In comparison, some research may not be taken seriously. So it is not
Top scholars need to find ways to continue their projects.
The scholar who developed a new type of stimulant obviously fell into this category. After his research project achieved certain results, he contacted "Theseus Life" in the hope of receiving sponsorship and support from this giant company.
"However, after conducting tests, 'Theseus Life' believed that the scholar's stimulants had major flaws and rejected the scholar's request for sponsorship. This made things a bit embarrassing because 'Theseus Life' did not want to spend it in vain.
The money was used to sponsor a product with uncertain prospects, and the scholar's research had reached a critical stage and required a large amount of financial support to achieve further results. The two sides were in a stalemate."
"Soon, the scholar stopped submitting applications to 'Theseus Life'. We now know that this is because he turned to another giant company, 'Titan Industries', and received the generosity of 'Titan Industries'
sponsor."
"The reason why 'Theseus Life' rejected the scholar is very simple. The manufacturing method of his new stimulant is similar to that of Red Ice. The stimulant produced can forcefully calm people down after being injected into the human body.
The brain becomes extremely clear, and the physical pain will be ignored, even if it is hit by a bullet, there will be no reaction. And the side effects are as addictive as red ice. It can be said that if it flows to the public,
This stimulant is a new type of drug."
"'Theseus Life' believes that this new stimulant will be difficult to put into practical use if its high addictive properties are not improved, but 'Tianthin Industries' doesn't care, after all, they have a large number of stable customers."
