Back at the Pentagram building, Minister of Defense Anthony's face was still gloomy.
He couldn't understand where Andy had found out so much about him.
"Damn it! All of this was done under the control of the consortium, how could Andy know!”
Anger and depression intertwined, causing him to crush the glass cup on the table.
He didn't even notice the glass shards pricking his fingers and the blood staining the table.
Suddenly, he seemed to have understood something, and his pupils constricted.
"The American Financial Group! It was the consortium that betrayed me!"
"These things are only known by me and the executives of the City Bank. If I didn't leak it, then it can only be them.”
"No, no, betraying me won't do them any good. They have no reason to do this.”
"Which part of the process went wrong that caused Andy to know all the dirt on me?”
Anthony's head was already big, but he still could not figure out the reason.
How could you understand a man with a system?
Anthony forced himself to calm down and organized his thoughts.
"The Consortium just told me that Andy might target them in this military purchase.
In the end, Andy immediately came to me. If it weren't for these scandals, I could have ignored him as the president.
But now, he couldn't. If he wanted to keep his position as the Minister of Defense, he couldn't go against Andy's wishes.”
Anthony felt like he was about to explode.
He couldn't offend the Consortium, and neither could he offend Andy.
Caught between the two of them, he really wanted to cry.
"I still have one last hope, and that is for the things that the consortium said to come true.”
" As long as Morgan Financial Group can provide weapons and equipment that are two generations higher than the American Financial Group, and the price is not outrageous, then from the perspective of the Department of Defense, there is no reason to continue choosing the American Financial Group, and the American Financial Group has no reason to vent their anger on me.”
Thinking of this, Anthony became excited again and placed his hopes on this.
……
January 27th, 9 AM, the parliament building.
535 members of Congress, the Minister of Defense, the Deputy Minister, the Chief of Staff, and President Andy attended this year's arms acquisition conference.
The main topic of the meeting revolved around whether or not to increase armaments.
More than 500 people were engaged in a heated discussion. The scene was like a wet market.
" The Middle East and Cilia are constantly at war. I think we should increase our armaments.”
"Now that the US is in an era of economic depression, increasing armaments will cause a wave of opposition from the people.”
"In the war between the Middle East and Celia, we have always had the absolute advantage. He might as well reduce his armaments and use the money in the national treasury elsewhere.”
Both sides had their own opinions and reasons.
Everyone was fighting for their own interests!
After more than an hour, the two sides were still arguing.
"Ahem…"
While the two sides were arguing, Andy coughed lightly and attracted everyone's attention.
The president wanted to speak, but the members of parliament gave him face and shut their mouths.
After the parliament quieted down, Andy said,"
"The main purpose of increasing armaments is to increase military strength. This required a large amount of funds, and insufficient funds were the most serious problem for the national treasury.”
"We might as well think of a way to increase our military strength without increasing the capital investment in armaments.”
As soon as Andy finished speaking, the scene immediately became noisy.
"How can you think of a strong military force without increasing capital investment?”
"Mr. President is still too young. He doesn't understand this aspect at all.”
"How can there be such a good thing in the world?”
Amid the noise, Andy smiled and said,"
"Recently, I've come up with a plan to improve and upgrade the existing weapons and equipment. The performance of the equipment was two generations ahead of the current equipment, and the price was almost at the original level.”
His words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake.
All the members of Congress were dumbfounded.
An eighteen-year-old youth actually wanted to improve and upgrade his current weapons and equipment. After all, geniuses existed in this world.
However, it was too exaggerated and unreal to make these equipment two generations ahead of the existing equipment through improvements and upgrades.
Everyone shook their heads, not believing Andy's words.
"That's impossible. If you want to be two generations ahead in performance, you have to be at least five years ahead in technology.”
"The best weapons experts in the world are all in America. Mr. President, do you know more about weapons than them?”
"Mr. President has made great achievements in the economic field and is the hope for the economic recovery of the United States. However, weapons and economics were two completely different fields.”
Andy didn't say anything in the face of these doubts. Instead, he gestured for Claire to project the information on her laptop onto the big screen.
Noticing that the big screen had lit up, the members of Congress stopped talking for the time being and focused their attention on it.
This was a video about the B-2 Ghost Stealth Bomber, the Trident cruise missile, and the M416A4 automatic rifle.
The video was also accompanied by a commentary, explaining in detail the advantages of the improved bomber, missiles, and automatic rifles.
At the same time, through a practical demonstration, everyone could see the performance comparison.
Then, the 500-plus members of Congress were all dumbfounded.
Before and after the modification, the performance had undergone an earth-shattering change!
"This…this…this!"
"Is the demonstration in this video real?”
"God, this is too crazy. This power is two generations ahead!”
"Oh my god, is this still a Trident cruise missile? How can it be so powerful?”
"Unbelievable. The M416A4 can actually display such performance.”
"The difference between the two is simply too great. They are completely different weapons!”
After the 30-minute video demonstration, the members of Congress still hadn't recovered from the shock.
After being improved, the same weapon could actually undergo earth-shattering changes.
Defense Minister Anthony was very excited after reading it.
The better the performance of the Morgan Financial Group's weapons and equipment, the happier he would be.
This way, he would have no reason to insist on purchasing the firearms provided by the United States financial group. He would be able to please Andy without offending the United States financial group.
"Everyone, if we purchase this batch of modified Military Fire, there's no need for your previous dispute.”
It could increase military strength without increasing capital investment. It was simply a good thing to kill two birds with one stone!
Below the stage, many members of Congress couldn't help but sigh.
"This is unbelievable. This is actually improved by Mr. President.”
"Not only is he a genius in the field of economics, but he's also an expert in the field of weapons.”
"God, I'm starting to admire this 18-year-old Chinese president.”
