When Fukuda Akira heard this, he immediately understood what Luo Shu was doing.
The inestimable intelligence costs were converted into a certain actual number, mixed into the total expenditure of this operation, and part of the funds were withdrawn from the United Nations.
Futian Zhang's eyes lit up, and he looked at Luo Shu with some appreciation:
"There is nothing wrong with this operation, it is in accordance with procedures."
The whereabouts information of 2 ghouls requires the mobilization of a certain number of personnel and material resources. These can be estimated or not.
Now, Luo Shu asked them to make an estimate, which meant that there was room for maneuver with the subsidies given by the joint venture.
Of course, this leeway cannot be too large, at least it cannot exceed the upper limit of the rules, which is 50% reimbursement.
In other words, Luo Shu's words about intelligence fees increased the amount that could be reimbursed by the island country from a maximum of 35% to 50%, an increase of nearly 1/2.
"How much is left now?" Luo Shu asked again.
"There is still 50% left." Fukuda Akira said very clearly that the manipulation of intelligence fees is very borderline, but as long as it does not exceed the rules, it is allowed.
"Can the government increase taxes?" Luo Shu asked again with a frown.
"No, any tax increase will be criticized by the public."
Futian Akira seemed to be worried that Luo Shu didn't understand, so he said:
"Unlike China, the tax here is clearly stated and is for the public to see. It is not an indirect tax."
When Luo Shu heard this, he felt like an arrow had hit his knee, and then he said:
"Then recruit soldiers. The Self-Defense Forces recruit new soldiers. They will eat empty salaries, right? Haven't they learned this skill here on the island?"
Hearing this, everyone present looked at Luo Shu strangely.
You are a Chinese, and you suggest this. You have a very bad conscience!
Upon hearing this, Fukuda Akira's mouth twitched. He could already foresee the cabinet and even the Self-Defense Forces getting upset.
Thinking of this, he turned his gaze to Director Ito, who knew more about this.
This person's in-laws' family also has some influence in the Self-Defense Forces.
Director Ito noticed that everyone was looking at him, and he lowered his head somewhat awkwardly and coughed:
"Ahem, I've used this trick before."
what?
Luo Shu was a little confused. So you have used this one before?
Fujiwara Daichi on the side seemed to know something and shrugged.
"According to the Secretary of Defense's original words: We are just an aircraft landing platform in America, why do we need so many soldiers?"
Luo Shu was speechless after hearing this: "Can I still get some free money?"
Director Ito covered his mouth, pretending that he didn't say it, and said directly:
"Ahem, if you keep eating, it will exceed 3%. Some internal experts have warned that if it exceeds this, it will be easily discovered by the public, which will be a disaster."
"Comparatively speaking, it doesn't matter if the Celestial Empire knows about it. They've always known about it anyway."
Hearing Director Ito's words, Luo Shu's mouth twitched.
Oh, 30% of the personnel only exist on the roster. I see. This island country is worthy of being a self-proclaimed disciple of the Tang Dynasty. They have indeed learned a lot.
Luo Shu took a deep breath, exhaled and said:
"Then let's stick to 29%. That should squeeze out a little, right?"
"Okay." Fukuda Akira nodded and estimated in his mind: "But I think it's probably not enough."
"Then increase military spending."
Luo Shu was really desperate. How could he, a Chinese, discuss these things at a high-level meeting of an island country?
"They claimed to be buying new American equipment, gave it a random name, and then had the garrison go out to the Chinese mainland across the sea to buy weapons nearby."
"There are still a lot of junk grenades from the 1960s and 1970s. China has been worrying about how to clear its inventory. The garrison buys them at a low price, and the island nation buys them at a high price. The difference is used as expenditure. Isn't that enough?"
After hearing Luo Shu's words full of disgust, most of the people present looked strange, and finally looked at Nurarihyon.
Nurarihyon was not afraid of embarrassment and scratched his cheek and said:
"Ahem, I think I used this trick against my Nura group."
Luo Shu was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise: "All bought? That's 20 billion grenades, which were stored for the world war."
"No, there should be a lot more." Fujiwara Daichi shook his head quickly: "At the beginning, we just bought 100 million and the problem was solved."
Luo Shu nodded upon hearing this, and then said to Fukuda Akira:
"If this is still not enough, SDS will make up for it. Of course, we will send an actuary."
"That's no problem." After saying this, Fukuda Akira let out a breath.
Similarly, there is Director General Ito of the Metropolitan Police Department, along with the Chief Inspector and Senior Superintendent following him.
After much persuasion, and with Luo Shu's proposed cool operation and guarantees, they finally managed to raise most of the funds. What remained was just the actual operational matters.
"This kid is really smart." Nangong Nayue, who had been listening, muttered.
Dalian Temple Suzuka, who was sitting behind her, also looked at Luo Shu frequently, her eyes full of curiosity.
The funding had come from a source, and the island country was going to pay the lion's share, so everyone's tone suddenly became lively.
"In terms of manpower, we need to gather 1 people. Do you have any questions?"
"There is no problem with the Nura group. Judging from the intelligence on the strength of the ghouls, it should not be a problem for us to gather 3000 people to participate."
"We can gather two thousand warriors here without affecting the safety of various places." Gao Liu Daoxian was unwilling to be outdone at this time.
"On the vampire side, we can send 1500 C-class vampires to participate. Of course, if we need D-class personnel, we can gather ."
At this time, Ichijo Ma Yuan also revealed some of his strength. Of course, his strength was very weak. He did not include any B-class nobles because that was his base. But it did not matter for ordinary C-class vampires, or even those D-class ones who could turn back into humans at any time.
Finally, Nangong Nayue looked at Iwanaga Kotoko and said:
"The remaining one thousand people will be made up by the Onmyoji and the Yokai together."
"How come these two are so in sync?" Luo Shu looked at them oddly but said nothing.
Seeing that Luo Shu had almost finished handling the matter, Ju Wuxiang immediately stood up and said:
"Then let the staff take charge of what happens next."
"According to the old rules, the ratio between the garrison and the island nation's staff is 7 to 3, and the garrison staff will take over the command."
Hearing this, Fukuda Akira also stood up and said, "This is a reasonable arrangement."
Fujiwara Daichi also stood up:
"How long will it take to get the results?"
Upon hearing this, Tachibana Kirika looked at her watch and said, "From now until 3 pm, we will come up with a preliminary plan, make mobilization preparations, and strive to execute the annihilation operation at 11 pm."
"We are short on time, so that's it."
Having said that, Ju Wuxiang glanced at Luo Shu and left first.
Seeing this, Luo Shu greeted Shim, nodded goodbye to Nangong Nayue and Iwanaga Qinzi, and then left as well.
"Minister."
Fukuda Akira pointed to the door, and the latter understood and immediately went out with him.
After walking out of the door, the two glanced at the passage and found that Ju Wuxiang, Luo Shu and others had already left. They immediately walked towards the stairs while lowering their voices and said:
"Minister, your actions just now were extremely dangerous. You were dancing in the tiger's mouth."
"If SDS is angered by your actions, we will be in big trouble."
At this point, Fukuda Akira said somewhat beyond the pale: "The prime minister's orders are the prime minister's, and we are not the prime minister."
This statement, which is almost tantamount to betrayal, undoubtedly shows Fukuda Akira's true attitude.
The Prime Minister's expectation is that SDS will be responsible for the funding, and they will bear the wrath of SDS, and the Prime Minister will reap the benefits.
Such behavior is obviously unacceptable to Akira Fukuda.
"Fukuda-san, I understand what you mean. I didn't want to accept it at first, but because of my eldest brother, I had no choice but to accept it. But after seeing the information about the ghouls, I felt that this was unacceptable."
?Sand candles for flowers?Sand candles?Sand concrete/p>
Fujiwara Daichi exhaled and rubbed his hands: "My wife and daughter both live in Tokyo. I don't want them to live in the same city with man-eating monsters."
"Then why are you..." Fukuda Akira looked around and made sure there was no one around, then lowered his head and said, "Then why are you still talking about funding? Do you want to anger SDS?"
“No, no, no, Fukuda-san, you don’t understand.” Fujiwara Daichi wiped his eyes and put them back on: “You don’t understand young people.”
"There is light in their eyes. They are thinking about solving the fears faced by mankind. They are not like us politicians who only think about votes, the power behind the votes, and money."
Fujiwara Daichi laughed somewhat self-deprecatingly, then shook his head and said:
"Minister Luo and Minister Ju have discussed from the beginning that they will bear part of the expenses. The various proposals before were just to make us feel a little involved and do the work seriously."
After hearing this, Fukuda Akira was silent for a moment. Thinking back to the previous meeting, he felt that what Fujiwara Daichi said made some sense.
"Besides, I was also funded by SDS to some extent. If the Prime Minister blames me, he will definitely not find an excuse to punish me."
Fujiwara Daichi said this with a chuckle:
"That old man, do you really think my old man can control me?"
Fukuda Akira looked unconvinced, because he felt that Mr. Fujiwara could still control this minister.
However, at this moment, Fujiwara Daichi suddenly said:
"Mr. Fukuda, do you think a young man like Minister Luo would be willing to attend a dinner? A private, family-style dinner."
........ . 0
Upon hearing this, Fukuda Akira had a strange look on his face, because he thought of Fujiwara Daichi's three daughters.
A private family dinner, which means the three daughters of the Fujiwara family will also attend?
What kind of calculations does this old man have? Fukuda Akira looked strange for a moment, and then said:
"You can try to write an invitation letter."
"Invitation letter?" Fujiwara Daichi suddenly realized: "Good idea."
-
Inside the car.
Luo Shu, who had just gotten in the car, sat in the driver's seat and looked at Shim in the passenger seat and Ju Wuxiang in the back seat and said:
"As we expected, the proposal to exterminate ghouls was passed."
"I'll only cover the shortfall at the end, so the expenses shouldn't be too big. The money I get from the funeral company, apart from the money for transforming ghouls, can still provide some subsidies."
"As for the rest, we can only ask Lux to allocate funds."
"You did a good job, Luo Shu." Ju Wuxiang stretched lazily in the back seat. "You were able to come up with such a cool suggestion that those old guys had to agree to it."
"What do you mean you have to agree?" Luo Shu was speechless after hearing this: "Didn't you hear what they said? They have thought of these operations."
Upon hearing this, Tachibana Kirika jokingly said, "So should I congratulate you on becoming a 'minister of a country'?"
Luo Shu couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this, and then said:
"get out."
"From now on, I will only be responsible for providing intelligence and supervision. You will take care of the rest."
"Okay, okay, I got it. I won't delay your date with Shim."
Ju Wuxiang laughed, opened the car door again and walked out. Before leaving, she did not forget to knock on Luo Shu's car window and reminded him:
"Don't let anyone get killed."
Luo Shu rolled his eyes and said:
"roll!"
"Haha." Ju Kirika laughed and then quickly left.
After Ju Wuxiang was no longer in sight, Luo Shu turned his head and looked at Shim:
