The detailed battle report of the Shanhaiguan Battle was quickly sent to the Earth Presidential Palace.
President Lin Zhen, Vice President Ed, Starfleet Commander-in-Chief Sanders and a group of staff gathered again in the highest conference room of the Presidential Palace.
"Actually, Lin Fan has done a good enough job. Speaking of which, there is still a shortcoming in military strength!"
"Yes, it's really difficult for him to have a battleship worth less than one million!"
"This result, even if Liang Xingchen were replaced, might not be better than Lin Fan's!"
"Indeed, the minimum loss we originally estimated would be as high as 100,000 warships, and about 200 million federal soldiers would be killed!"
More than 50 million federal soldiers were killed, which was definitely a heavy blow to the federation.
It can even be said that the Federation has not experienced such great damage since its re-emergence.
However, no one in the entire conference room said that Lin Fan had misdirected and needed to take responsibility.
Everyone understood that Lin Fan had done well enough, even better than the best results they had expected before!
"Okay, the death of 50 million federal soldiers is not a small matter, and the follow-up and aftermath work must be done well! Sanders, there must be no problems in this regard!"
In fact, Lin Zhen specifically asked Sanders to ensure that there would be no problems in the aftermath. This was not because he did not trust Sanders, but in fact, he was reminding Sanders to do a good job in supervision.
After all, the aftermath of the death of Federation soldiers has always been handled by Starfleet, not the Presidential Office. However, within Starfleet headquarters, even if all seniority factions are now eliminated, it cannot be said that there are no moths at all.
Since the establishment of the Federation, there have been problems with the compensation for fallen soldiers. After all, greed is human nature. Under huge interests, there will always be people who take risks. This is not surprising.
In fact, there were very few people among the seniority sect who did such things. After all, most people in the seniority sect pursue power and status, not money!
Although this phenomenon has been suppressed to the greatest extent through the efforts of high-level federal officials over the years, there are very few people who have the courage to make mistakes when it comes to pensions.
But the problem is that this time, the number of casualties was a full 50 million!
In addition, the Federation is now rich, richer than ever before! The benefits of federal soldiers have increased several times before. The most important thing is that the pensions for federal soldiers killed in action are ten times what they were before!
With such a large number of casualties and huge pensions, some people will definitely take risks.
If no one was using their brains in this regard, Lin Zhen would definitely not believe it.
Therefore, Lin Zhen specially reminded Sanders here.
"President, I understand!"
And as a veteran marshal for decades, how could Sanders not understand what Lin Zhen meant, and how could he not understand the inherent greed of some people.
In fact, Sanders has already thought about setting up multiple overt or covert supervision groups this time to strictly supervise every link and every penny, and never let anyone take advantage of it!
However, at this moment, Sanders does not know that some people are even more courageous than he could imagine!
One day later, the Federal Presidential Palace held a press conference to inform the relevant details of the Shanhaiguan Battle.
When Lin Zhen said that the number of human casualties in this battle was 50 million, the atmosphere in the entire hall instantly became depressing.
The number of 50 million people is like a huge stone, weighing on the hearts of everyone in the hall.
Maybe it's because humans are used to fighting low-level civilizations. Human beings have become accustomed to extremely low casualty rates, but they have forgotten that they are just low-level civilizations!
But now, the Shanhaiguan Battle is facing a civilization at the same level as the Federation, and its military strength is more than three times that of the Federation.
Subsequently, Lin Fan also announced that the pension funds would be distributed one after another in three days, and asked all federal citizens to supervise to ensure that every pension fund reaches the right person.
After the press conference, the Internet was naturally abuzz. The death of 50 million people immediately became a topic of discussion for everyone, and even sounded the alarm for some people.
Don't just look at the current federal fleet's extremely generous treatment, and everyone wants to join. You must understand that in the federal fleet, you really have to work hard, and it is not so easy to get along.
At the same time, there will always be discordant voices, and the world will never be short of idiots.
There were even several voices on the Internet demanding that Lin Fan be responsible for the deaths of 50 million people, but they were quickly criticized by others. After all, the people of the Federation today are not the people of the Federation who have spent decades. Now, it’s not that easy for people to set the pace.
There are more than 800,000 warships, and 3 million warships of the same level have been wiped out. You still have to set the pace. If you don’t want to criticize anyone, who will you criticize!
Soon, a month passed. What Lin Zhen and Sanders didn't expect was that no tampering was found. This was obviously very different from their expectations.
Lin Zhen absolutely did not believe that in the face of such a huge amount of wealth, no one really used their brains that they should not use.
Then there is only one possibility, and that is that some people's methods are too clever and they have perfectly avoided their supervision.
But if this is the case, what method was used?
In the President's Office, Lin Zhen was looking at the payment of the pension and frowning because he found some abnormalities.
Just now, when he was filtering and retrieving pension payment status, he discovered an unnatural data.
Generally speaking, the payment of pensions will definitely encounter a problem, that is, if the federal soldier who died in battle has no immediate relatives, the pension will be given to the second heir who is not an immediate relative, and every time the pension of the federal soldier is The proportion of people in this category is between 2-3%.
However, Lin Zhen discovered that this time the pensions were distributed to 50 million people, all of which were received by their immediate family members, which was obviously very abnormal.
But unfortunately, all the pension recipients have their certificates, and no loopholes can be found.
If you want to do this...
Lin Zhen thought of a possibility, a possibility that such a thing could be accomplished. If this was the case, I'm afraid there would be too many people involved this time!
However, no matter how big the involvement was, Lin Zhen decided to uproot them.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhen immediately called Ed and told him about the problem he had discovered. Ed was also very surprised after hearing this!
The two then talked secretly in the President's Office for two full hours before Ed left.
...
Three days later, Ed came to Lin Zhen's presidential office again.
"It's confirmed, just as you guessed!"
Ed entered the office, looked at Lin Zhen with an ugly expression and said.
