What's the exact problem here?

I was about to file a report exactly for this, but then I realized that I was wrong in two cases with my initial perception:

- First thing to consider is that the "Soldiers of Fortune" Mission step needs some time to run befores it completes (unlike other mission steps, which immediately take effect) - and any benefit will have to wait that month (until the event with the mercenary leader comes up)
- And even if you have it activce, there is possibly another caveat: You are unable to recruit a mercenary stack until you have 1,5x the disposal fee in the treasury - and this fee is (be it WAI or an uninteded effect) seemingly not affected by the discount. However, if you get past that obstacle and actually recruit the mercenaries, the discount will fire (the example I realized this was one, where I needed around 136 Gold to "unlock" acess to recruitng, while the recruiting itself then only costed 22 Gold or so)

EDIT: I attached a screenshot to explain what I meant in the paragraph before - I need 135.62 Gold "to unlock" the ability to recruit, but the recruiting itself was fairly cheap with only 25 Gold (and I check my treasury afterwards to be sure that only that was actually deducted!):
