Blackstone Code

Chapter 1623: no glory

Before coming, His Excellency the Prime Minister also discussed this matter with the special envoy.

What should you do if you really need to come up with something substantive?

The federals are not fools. Mr. Truman was named the most aggressive president in the history of the federal government, nor was he simply boasting.

Not only is he smart, he also has a group of people who can help him.

When talking about these things, His Excellency the Prime Minister thought of a person who made his teeth itch, Lynch!

If it wasn't for Lynch, maybe Gafra would be different now, but because of Lynch, everything has changed.

Your Excellency the Prime Minister is not even sure whether this change is good or bad, it should be generally good, he thinks so.

In addition to this, there are so many terrifying scientists. The explosion of the Federation's national strength is not purely from productivity, but also from scientific progress!

In this era, during this period, an advance in scientific research has a great impact on the war.

For example, Blackstone Aviation has always been leading the world in research on fighter jets, which allows the Federation and Pengio to always have the upper hand in the air force confrontation!

Don't look at the fact that neither side seems to be able to gain an absolute advantage now, and they are very anxious, but in fact, Penggio's battle loss rate is much higher than that of the Federation.

This is the military leadership brought about by scientific and technological progress. According to the current situation, once Penggio's air force can no longer use numbers to fight against the federal air force, the change of air superiority on the battlefield will also directly change the pattern of the battlefield.

There are so many terrifying and great people in the Commonwealth, which makes His Excellency the Prime Minister envious and jealous, some for the Commonwealth society, and some for Mr. Truman.

After consideration, His Excellency the Prime Minister gave the special envoy a very simple answer. As long as it is related to Ameria, he can agree.

The reason is also very simple. As long as the Anmeria region is stably in the hands of Gefra, the part of the agreement between them and the Federation that Gefra needs to perform is meaningful.

No matter what your federation wants from the Ameria region, tariff rights, taxation rights, or other privileges like extraterritorial rights, you can, you can talk about it!

Because only when Amelia is in the hands of Gefra, these things are what they need to consider.

If Amelia is finally taken away, the federal people will not get these things, and for Gafra, they will not have further losses!

Therefore, if the Federals want to enable Gefra to perform the performance part of the second half of the agreement, they must contribute to defending Amelia for Gefra.

This is a kind of incentive, a kind of spur, and a kind of restraint, everything revolves around the core interests of Gavra, the Amelia region.

But this kind of thing can't be brought up by the special envoy, at least not at first, he must let the federal people bring it up by themselves, and let them have a feeling—

I poked their sore spot, and I want to seize this request!

Only in this way, some obvious problems that can be taken advantage of will be ignored by people, or deliberately let go.

Sitting across from the negotiating table, facing the top chief of the Department of International Affairs, who was hailed as the "Federal Eagle" by the international diplomatic community, the special envoy was still a little nervous.

"No reporters, no more people, just both of us. I want to tell you in this way that what we're talking about has nothing to do with honor."

These words made the special envoy feel deeply.

If the identities of the two sides are reversed, he will definitely exaggerate this matter, and let the entire Federation, and even the whole society, know that the former overlord of the Federation has bowed his head to the rising new leader of the Federation!

This is a very cohesive thing, and from the end of the First World War to the end, Gefra did not miss the Federation.

It's either here or there. The diplomats and foreign ministers at that time were running back and forth between the Federation and Gavra almost all the time, just trying to solve the problem.

The diplomats of Gaevra all had their nostrils turned upside-down, and they would flip the table and leave at every turn, but the Federalists had to chase after them and apologize...

Perhaps this is the reason why the Federation can become stronger and stronger?

The envoy thought so.

He nodded with a heavy heart, "It's a good arrangement."

Saying that, he felt a little... meaningless. He chuckled lightly, not knowing whether he was laughing at himself, Gafra, or something.

"I have made our position clear to His Excellency the President before, and also mentioned our needs..."

The middle-aged man who is the top chief of the International Affairs Department nodded, "Yes, I have discussed this issue with Mr. President. We think that the conditions you mentioned are not impossible, but there are some contents that need to be followed up."

The special envoy was a little surprised, but he felt it was reasonable.

The situation of Nagalil's battle is not yet clear. If Gaevra can attract some of the main force on the side of Amelia, then it will naturally reduce the pressure on Nagalil's side.

Both sides have their own demands. This one cannot be said to have a dirty heart. This is just based on reality.

"Please speak!"

The top chief of the International Affairs Department glanced down at the document in his hand, and then said, "We can support the 200,000 troops you asked for, but you must provide all the expenses for these troops."

"It includes, but is not limited to, everyone's basic salary, subsidies, welfare benefits, medical insurance, pensions after death, and all other expenses."

Speaking of which, he paused. This is only the first request. Only after agreeing to it can there be anything that follows.

He looked at the special envoy, and the special envoy frowned and thought, this money... To be honest, it's really not small.

Many people always subconsciously ignore the cost of "people", 200,000 troops, assuming that everyone's basic salary and subsidies allow them to get a monthly salary of 600-in fact, it will be higher than this.

Then, only 10,000 people would need 6 million in terms of wages, 100,000 people would be 60 million, and 200,000 people would be 120 million federal sols, equivalent to 80 million fragrans.

If you consider other expenses, such as food, medical care, and pensions.

Maybe they need to spend 1.5 billion fragrans or more on these people in a year!

This amount of money is actually not a heavy burden for the current federation, because the federation has a population of 60 million. According to the current wartime tax rate implemented by the federation, at least 60% of each person's income will be paid. be levied, up to a maximum of 80%.

Calculated according to the current federal minimum wage law multiplied by 60%, the federal government can collect about 10 billion in taxes and fees from the entire federal range every month on average!

Of course, this is the most ideal state, removing about 40% of the non-labor income population, such as children and the elderly who have lost the ability to work.

And minus the social unemployment rate (at this time, because of the loss of some of the cheap labor supply in Nagalil, the employment rate of the federal society began to increase), calculated based on the fact that the income group is only 35% of the whole society, the federal monthly Just from taxation, there are about 3.5 billion to 4 billion tax revenue!

This is a relatively underestimated value, and the actual tax revenue may be much larger than this, and much more.

This is also the reason why the federal military doesn't care about the budget. Billions of billions of budget are thrown away without blinking an eye, not because they have no concept of money, but because the federal government is so **** rich!

In fact, this situation also happened in the Pontgio Empire, they are also a vast country, but Gafra is not one of them!

Even with their higher wartime tax rates than the Union, it would be difficult for them to support such a dire military budget.

If you count the previous ones, if they spend their own money, they will have to spend no less than 6 billion fragrans, that is, 8.5 billion to 9.5 billion federal sols!

This is too heavy for them.

The special envoy was silent. He calculated some data. From his point of view, the request made by the Federals was not excessive, but he could not agree to it immediately.

"Our current finances are relatively tight, and we can't take out so much at once, but if you strongly request, we can solve this part of the problem by paying in installments."

The special envoy put forward an idea of ​​his own, "You are responsible for these expenses first, and we will pay the expenses to you in installments, or through other means, we are not directly linked to these individuals."

If there is no direct connection, the conflict between these individual sergeants and the federal government will eventually arise. As for the issue between the Gefra government and the federal government, that is another issue.

Diplomacy has never been easy. When debt and diplomacy are linked together~lightnovelpub.net~, it becomes even more troublesome.

The room fell into silence, and they were analyzing the situation by themselves. Then the top chief of the International Affairs Department shook his head slightly, "We will discuss this matter at the end."

"Secondly, considering the complexity of the battlefield and the difficulty of supplying supplies during wartime, we propose that your military standard should be the one we are currently using."

"All previous abolitions and eliminations, or replacements to non-frontal main battlefields, are for our better on-site supplies."

The soldiers who fought in Nagalil before reported a situation to the Ministry of Defense. Due to the different standards of military equipment between Gafra and the Federation, consumables such as bullets from both sides cannot be shared!

This is very uncomfortable. When a soldier goes to the battlefield, all kinds of equipment are heavy enough. You can't let each of them carry an ammunition box to the front line.

On the front line, the main way for soldiers to obtain ammunition after running out of ammunition is to collect it from surrounding fallen soldiers, or to share some with others.

But they used a different standard than the Gafra soldiers, which meant they ran out of ammunition and had to retreat.

This is obviously a very stupid behavior!

In addition, in this "loan" plan, the military industry group actually has to express, so they hope to use this opportunity to update the standard of weaponry and equipment within the scope of the World Development Committee to the federal standard...
