The army of the Byler Confederation did not conscript soldiers from the society every year, but before the outbreak of the World War, a group of soldiers would be conscripted every four years, and a group of soldiers would be discharged from the army.

During the World War, although the Union pursued a policy of isolation and did not participate in any international affairs, the president and the then Department of Defense remained vigilant enough to recruit soldiers every two years during this period and actively expand their armaments.

This greatly expands the power of the various military divisions, and the purpose is to deter the surrounding countries and prepare for the impact of war at any time.

War is an unjustified act of force, and if it is reasonable, there will be no war, so maintaining a higher number of soldiers than peacetime is the best choice to ensure national security.

But this year is not the retirement season, last year and the following year were, the army will not release people until this time, and the army has already released all the soldiers who should be discharged during the retirement season last year, so there should not be a large-scale discharge this year.

The sergeant's words also mean that another group of soldiers are now discharged.

In the face of Lynch's doubts, the sergeant explained a little, and the general meaning is that the Ministry of Defense believes that international relations are now becoming clearer and there is no need for too many active duty soldiers, so this year it will gradually reduce some to reduce the burden of military spending.

After listening to the sergeant's account, Lynch probably understood what the reason was, the international war has basically stopped, and all countries have begun a new round of development, if at this time some countries that did not participate in the world war still maintain a much larger scale of the army in service than before the war, this is likely to cause some misunderstandings.

In order to avoid these misunderstandings and make people full of truth, goodness and beauty, the disbandment of part of the army by the Federation can be said to be a very sincere performance, which caters to the hopes of most countries in the world and can also make people feel at ease.

In addition, there are some situations in the federation, at least for two years, the Ministry of Defense will not get much military budget, and various military expenses will also have to be cut, so this year there will be an additional batch of soldiers who will be included in the list of dischargers early.

In fact, this is also to appease the people and give the people a hint of "we will not go to war", which is also a good fit for the people's current vacillating mentality and position, so that they can gradually settle down.

In fact, there are deeper reasons, for example, when Prime Minister Gevre, who is visiting the Union of Baile, the chairman of the Progressive Party Committee and His Majesty the Emperor Gevre, talked about the integration of the Federation into the international community, Emperor Gevra made it very clear that the military size should be reduced.

If the number of active duty soldiers cannot be reduced to 600,000 or less, Emperor Gevra said that not only will he not help the Baile Federation integrate into the international community, but also advise everyone to be wary of the possibility of the Baile Federation doing something.

After several rounds of secret negotiations, the Progressive Party finally decided to reduce the number of active military personnel, but they played a small trick and it was obvious that the reduction of one million soldiers to 600,000 would not be completed in a year.

They demanded that it take at least four years or so to complete the matter, and Emperor Gevre, after consulting with foreign officials from other countries, agreed with the Byle Confederation and gave it four years to reduce the size of its military, and everyone showed great sincerity.

But it is clear that the inexplicable arrogance of these politicians in the Byle Federation will not let them be so restrained, and they will not be able to fully implement the demands of the Emperor Geffra, who they once regarded as feudal, ignorant, and backward.

There is already a countermeasure within the Progressive Party, most of these veterans will be placed in the local militia ranks, and then the Ministry of Defense and some civilian patriotic funds will allocate funds to the local militia organizations to ensure that these people can maintain a certain level of military training after losing their military status.

In the event that there is a real war in the future, which is also inevitable, everyone knows very well that if one takes a clear-cut stand on one side in the international community and actively participates in various international affairs, once there are sharp contradictions that cannot be reconciled, war will inevitably break out.

If the Bailer Federation wants to prove itself, it will ultimately be on the battlefield, not by mouth.

In the event of a real war, these militiamen who maintain daily training will immediately be able to fill the army and rush to the front line to fight, this set of plans can ensure that their combat effectiveness will not be weakened, and it can also maintain their physical strength, so that they are fully mentally prepared.

In addition to the compensation and appropriation plan for these militia groups, in fact, there is also a certain degree of policy inclination towards some civilian private armed companies, such as security companies, but these things are not convenient to show for the time being, at least after the departure of Prime Minister Gavra.

The visit of the Prime Minister of Gavra to the Union of Baylor was part of a series of political deals, and the Federation began to reduce the number of military personnel in service, and their visits to the Federation created a new appearance that the Federation had begun to become a member of the international community.

After thinking about some things roughly, Lynch smiled, "How come, I just think that our scale is too small, not that it is too big......"

After the two walked for a distance, Lin Qicai said, "Next month or next month, I will probably go to some other countries to invest, you know, it's very chaotic out there right now, so you have to go with me." ”

The sergeant's footsteps paused as he said this, but soon followed, and there was no excitement on his face, but a little seriousness.

In fact, the Federalists are very conflicted, isolationism has caused them to lose a lot of things, such as courage, they want to prove themselves but are very afraid, especially when it comes to external affairs.

Lynch patted his arm, "Help select twenty or thirty reliable young men first, and when the time comes, they can protect me and go with me, and then they will transfer people one after another, this investment is very important to me." ”

The sergeant's lips moved, and he wanted to ask Lynch what kind of mission the soldiers would perform outside of the Federation, but in the end he didn't speak.

It is the mission of soldiers to obey orders, and when they are in the army, they will be exposed to this kind of information every day, instructors, officers, and superior generals, always tell them to let them do it, and they will do it immediately, don't ask why, just do it.

This habit has not been changed until now, and although there is some confusion in his stomach, he still nods in agreement.

In the afternoon, Lynch took Connor, the lawyer with whom Lynch had worked several times, to the headquarters of the workers' union in Sabine to discuss some cooperation.

The reason for bringing the lawyer was that Lynch knew very little about the laws that related to the workers, and he was not to blame, and he had worked hard to find time to read the law-related documents and cases, as well as the books.

However, there are too many laws, clauses, and regulations related to workers, which also witnesses the intensity of the war between labor and management.

He couldn't figure it out, so he needed the help of a lawyer.

It was Lynch's first visit to the workers' base camp, and before entering the five-story building, its style seemed to speak for itself.

The relatively simple and unadorned façade style makes it look like a square cement block that can be found everywhere in a factory, with some rust-like rust at the corners and corners, which seems to have been left on the cement block when molding.

Some windows and gates were dug up on this cement block, and a sign of the workers' union was hung up, which matched the contents of the sign.

Entering the hall of the workers' union headquarters, the floor is a very ordinary concrete floor, probably because there are so many people coming in and out, that some parts of the ground have been polished by the soles of shoes, the color has become darker, and there is even a trace of mirror reflection.

The ordinary solid wood front desk, the average-looking girl, everything here is very ordinary, so ordinary that it will make people feel that this is really the home of workers.

Until...... In the conference room on the fifth floor, Lynch saw the top of the local workers' union, a group of well-dressed guys.

Judging from the fit of their clothes, these clothes are all handmade, and they cost at least a few hundred yuan a set.

Their meticulously combed hair, waxed hair that reflected a greasy sheen in the light, and they seemed to be constantly cleansing, and their faces were as clean as a little girl's buttocks, and they looked completely different from the dusty faces of the workers (1).

When Lynch entered the room, they immediately smiled and stood up, greeting Lynch warmly and introducing him to the others after shaking hands.

All this gave Lynch the feeling that he was not in contact with the workers' representatives, he was in contact with a group of capitalists, or some politicians, and it was a wonderful experience.

After everyone had been introduced, everyone sat on opposite sides of the table, and Lynch looked a little weak, and there were only two people on his side, him and Connor.

After the guild secretary brought some coffee snacks, the door to the conference room was closed, and the rest of the content was indeed not suitable for anyone else, at least until it was approved by the top brass of the workers' union.

The president of the Sabine City Workers' Union was a gentleman in his fifties, with gray hair and a gentle countenance.

He rummaged through the documents in front of him and attracted the attention of the people around him, before he looked up at Lynch, and said with a smile on his face, "Mr. Lynch, there are 100,000 people in the entire city of Sabine who have lost their jobs, and the vast majority of families are in trouble, we need help from all walks of life, thank you very much for sitting here today, at least it makes us believe that our society wants to solve these problems......"

It's a very official tone, which actually makes the president and these people don't look like workers anymore, at least the workers won't say it so high-sounding.
