The atmosphere in the conference room fell into an eerie silence, and the focus of everyone's attention gradually shifted from Marshal Cavon and Waglis, to Duke Norsman and Luhmann Finn.

The two men looked at each other in silence, and after a long while, the one who finally compromised was Finn.

This old man, who was once considered the richest man in the Westdum Kingdom, sighed deeply and said, "Your Excellency, I will raise 800,000 amethyst within a week and allocate it to the military." ”

Hearing this, Cavon opened his mouth to say something, but finally stopped.

800,000 amethysts are used to recruit more than 100,000 troops, which is honestly not enough. It's okay to recruit people, but when people come, they always have to build new camps, new military installations, provide equipment, provide food, and provide training resources. On average, each recruit has less than eight amethysts, how is this enough?

What's more, there are now arrears of military salaries in some second-line troops; The weapons and equipment of the recruits recruited in the past three months have not yet been in place, and these existing gaps in military spending have to be made up from this money, which is simply not enough.

However, he looked at Finn's face and still didn't say anything. Marshal Kavon was not the kind of soldier who knew nothing about politics, and he understood that with the current financial situation of the kingdom, it was already rare to be able to squeeze out 400,000 amethysts. No matter how much he pressed Finn, he couldn't come up with more money.

The only one who could make Finn come up with more money was the Duke of Northman.

Will the Norsman be satisfied with the 800,000 amethyst?

Apparently not.

His Excellency said: "800,000 amethyst can only be regarded as the initial investment of military spending. Marshal Calvon, I will give you another three months, and you must complete the replenishment of the troops, and at the same time, the necessary weapons, equipment, and training resources must be provided in place. At the same time, within three months, the military spending must be guaranteed, Finn, in three months, I need you to raise at least three million more amethyst. Of these, 1.8 million are allocated to the military, and the other 1.2 million are for other purposes. ”

Finn's face turned extremely ugly.

This money cannot be taken out by the kingdom's treasury, and only the various group enterprises can continue to cut flesh and bleed in order to raise three million.

That's three million amethysts, and if you move your mouth up and down, you want so much money in one go?

With his lips pursed, Finn finally didn't say anything, just sighed heavily again, and said, "As you wish." ”

……

After the meeting, the ministers walked on the avenue leaving the Iris Palace.

Vagliss chased two steps and ran to Finn's side. On his fat face, he looked very anxious: "Finn, how can you agree to such an outrageous request from Northman?" ”

"Or else?"

"Let's not talk about things for a long time, since the beginning of this year, we have smashed tens of millions of amethysts into the blood transfusion of the cabinet, and this time more than three million have gone out, and everyone can't bear it!"

By everyone, Waglis is referring to the many plutocrats who supported the Norsman cabinet. Fein was the most important representative of their cabinet, as was Varglis, but they did not represent the whole of them. In fact, a large amount of blood transfusion for the kingdom's finances has made many chaebols feel very dissatisfied.

Seeing that Finn didn't speak, Vagliss continued: "The 1.8 million military expenses for the military, we can barely convert them into orders, and several companies will digest them, but we have to take out 1.2 million in cash in one go, even if we make it up, it will have too much impact on our own business." ”

"Be careful." Fein glared at Vaglis.

Vagliss shut up and stopped talking.

The two took a few steps forward, and Finn said again: "Go back in the same car, let your driver go first, and you take my car." ”

Vargliss paused for a moment, and then understood that Finn had something to tell him in the car.

……

Luhmann Finn's car is a very low-profile black sedan. From the outside, this car is nothing unusual, but the car built by Blackbird Heavy Industries for its own boss is quite high-tech.

Especially when it comes to security and privacy.

Finn and Vagliss sat in the back seat of the car, and no matter what they said, there was no way it would leak out, not even the driver.

Until the black sedan drove out of Iris Palace and walked on Queen's Road outside Iris Palace, the two of them remained relatively silent.

After a while, Vagliss couldn't hold it anymore, and he asked, "Finn, do you have any other plans?" ”

"Northman is no longer the target we should be supporting." Fein said.

If his words are spread to the outside world, I don't know how much of a wave it will make.

Luhmann Fein, who has always been considered the most important supporter of the Duke of Norsman. After Northman took power, Blackbird Heavy Industries also jumped from a top first-class group chaebol to the most influential heavy industry enterprise in Westdom.

And the meaning of his current words seems to be to give up his support for the Norsman Duke.

Vaglis was shocked. He thought that Fein had some way to lead the chaebol group through this difficulty, whether it was to spend less money or to find some financial ways to raise enough funds. However, he never thought that Finn would say this when he didn't open his mouth.

Fein continued: "We supported Northman to power in order to make better money. In the past few years, everyone has worked together very well, but in the past two years, Northman has changed a little too much, and the collusion between him and the Deep Dark Order may be deeper than we imagined. Actually, I don't care about that, but when he and the Dark Order infringe on our interests, it can't be tolerated. ”

"I understand." Vargliss also said, "The preparation for war in the early stage has already cost so much money, and if you really want to fight, I am afraid that the consumption will be even greater." The key is to win, how much benefit is there? ”

"That's right."

After cleaning up his mood a little, Vagliss asked again, "Anyone else...... You know what? ”

"I've contacted a few people in a small area, and this time I'm telling you." Finn's face also calmed.

Vagliss took a deep breath and said, "We're doing a coup d'état." ”

"It's not the first time." Fein said.

Indeed, when the Norsman came to power in a coup d'état a few years ago, Luhmann Fein played a very important role in it. Now, it's okay to do it again, but this time, he himself is probably going to move from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.

Seeing that Vagliss wanted to ask something more, Fein raised his hand and said, "Needless to say, we'll find a time to talk in secret when we go back." You can't say anything about it, and no one close to you can know about it, you know? ”

Varglis said, "Understood. ”

Of course he understands, if this matter leaks out, with the character of Duke Norsman, everyone will die.
