Vol 5 Chapter 37: Bravery

"I should show up too. Read the latest chapter," the old man said to everyone.

Compared with the military strength of the Americans, it is better for the old man to go out and take a lap.

Americans have misunderstandings about China. They always think that people like the old man pay attention to economic construction under national defense security and national dignity, so they don’t have to worry about small overseas frictions that will cause current leadership. The collective overreaction, and even more worried about how the father and their generation of leaders' emotions will rebound.

In the final analysis, there is still a problem with American intelligence, and it is difficult to figure out what China's trump card is.

On June 1st, at the scene of the National Children's Celebration Festival, the old man went out in person and had a cordial conversation with them. The media from all over the country swarmed to record the various speeches and behaviors of the old man.

It is noteworthy that the old man did not wear a normal uniform, but a grass-green broad military uniform with no military rank.

Although the old man didn't say anything special, this posture is very scary. How many years has the old man not worn a military uniform? Many people can't remember it anymore.

Moreover, the domestic forces have also begun a large-scale mobilization. The Nanjing Military Region has increased its troops in Fujian, and the Northeast Military Region has continuously moved into North Korea. The air force has also begun lift-off operations, including the seven An-124s from Fan Wuyi. Many transport aircraft, including large-scale strategic transport aircraft, are beginning to transport strategic materials, and the domestic atmosphere seems a bit solemn.

The Americans are also very well-versed in intelligence, especially for such a big event. The White House and the Pentagon have become a mess. The Clinton administration has only been in power for five and a half months. Where has it gone through such a serious crisis test?

"What kind of celebrity is going on in Beijing?" Clinton asked Colin Powell, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff, together with the six military, naval and air forces belong to the United States Department of Defense, and it is the most important agency of the Department of Defense. Accept the dual leadership of the President and the Secretary of Defense. Since both the US President and the Secretary of Defense are civilian officials, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has become the highest military commander of the US armed forces.

The United States is at the beginning of its founding. There are only 6 military headquarters in the military organization. Later, the Admiralty and Air Force were successively established. During World War II. Congress passed a national security law. Establish the post of Secretary of Defense. Later, the post of chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was added. 6. The navy and air services are all relegated to the first-level agencies under the Ministry of National Defense. The Ministry of National Defense requires the Joint Chiefs of Staff to accept orders from the Minister of Defense. Issue strategic and combat operations orders.

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is appointed by the president from among the senior generals of the 6, navy, and air forces. The term of office is two years. Except during wartime. Can only be re-elected once.

Colin Powell was born in 1937. Participated in reserve officer training during school. After graduation, he was awarded the rank of second lieutenant. He was sent to Vietnam twice to participate in the war. Later he served as the commander of the U.S. Brigade in South Korea. And President Reagan’s National Security Advisor.

After President Bush came to power. He was appointed chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. And promoted to four-star general. He is the first black chairman of the Joint Council in American history. He is also the youngest chairman of the Joint Council. During his tenure, he participated in major incidents such as the US invasion of Panama, the dispatch of troops to the Philippines and Somalia.

certainly. Fighting Iraq did not leave his command. It can be said that the military experience is extremely rich.

It's just that Clinton came to power. Obviously, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who re-used the land with Bush is not very cold. He wanted to change Powell. But considering Powell's place is still very popular. It's not good to act rashly.

When something happened this time, Clinton was naturally held accountable. After all, people in the Middle East do not have the support of U.S. warships, and it is impossible to block China's freighter land. Although Clinton has some understanding of these big troubles, Clinton has to find a scapegoat.

Clinton can turn a blind eye to a Chinese cargo ship, or test Beijing’s attitude, but now the Chinese have begun to mobilize troops on a large scale. The situation in the Taiwan Strait is tense, and the Korean Peninsula is full of crises. These are all. It directly threatened the national interests of the United States, and he would not be able to sit there and watch the excitement.

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is only the military adviser to the President and the Secretary of Defense. It is the President who really commands the entire army. Of course, Clinton can hold Powell to account when something major happens. Besides, he was not interested in this black man.

Of course, Powell is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He will retire in a few months. When that happens, he will break up with Clinton, and write a memoir of his own leisurely. How to earn some pension? That is what a beautiful thing. ? The little trouble in Gulf alone is enough for him to write millions of words, not to mention that publishers have been contacting him for a long time, and the manuscript fee is favorable.

"Mr. President, you should ask James Woolsey, the director of a, he should be very clear about what his subordinates are doing." Powell replied neither humble nor arrogant.

The new director of a place, James Woolsey, was appointed by Clinton. Powell’s answer to Clinton’s question is naturally a bit slanderous. To find out why the Chinese are mobilizing their military forces on a large scale, it is natural to look at what the Americans have done recently. whats the matter?

"Well, then call James Woolsey over and see what explanation he has?" Clinton said with some annoyance. For Powell, he really has no deterrent power, although the president is the highest leader of the army. People, but in the presence of these high-ranking generals, who are especially acceptable to the people, and in front of the highly prestigious senior generals in the army, he is as tender as a boy.

Soon, James Woolsey arrived at the president’s office. He was a bald head, wearing a pair of wide gold-rimmed glasses, and his eyes were gloomy and full of worry at any time. He looked like a scheming guy, and he was indeed Very suitable as a netbsp; "Your Excellency, the Chinese are bluffing." James Woolsey just came in and said to Clinton.

The director of a generally has no good end. This is recognized by everyone. For example, William Colby, who was appointed director of a by Nixon, was once an extremely outstanding agent and was known as the remaining spy king. . In 1973, during Colby's tenure, the CIA was deeply caught in the vortex of the Watergate Incident, and he naturally became the target of all walks of life. Especially before the end of his term, President Ford set up a special investigation committee to examine the illegal espionage activities of the CIA. Colby realized that the president would transfer the responsibility to the CIA, so he was either pretending to be confused or deliberately denying him during the investigation.

But Colby knew so much that he couldn't escape the bad luck in the end. Ford made a series of decisions to dismiss high-ranking officials later known as the Halloween Massacre. Colby was the first victim, and Bush was replaced by Bush.

The frustrated Colby exposed to Congress many CIA police, including suspected drug smuggling cases and attempts to assassinate Cuban leader Castro. He also revealed that the task of the National Security Agency is to monitor communications between the United States and abroad, and that American citizens are inevitably under its surveillance.

Such a move is naturally not in the interests of the United States, so Colby was immediately marginalized.

But James Woolsey is a stranger, not so much that his intelligence work is good, it is better to say that his business is good. Woolsey is economically savvy and strongly advocates that a must spare no effort to help the government understand and master the economic and technological development trends of countries around the world, and collect the trade secrets of foreign companies in international economic activities to serve American companies.

Clinton knew what he was. From this Chinese freighter incident, the first thing that came to his mind was whether James Woolsey profited from it? Has any American company benefited from this incident?

Powell was a little dissatisfied with James Woolsey's words, "Someone has already put on a military uniform, do you think he has the guts to start a war? At least a local war, the Chinese can still afford it!"

"The key task of the Chinese people now is to develop the economy. This can be verified from their public and private conversations. Therefore, I don't think the Chinese will go to war just because of a freighter." James Wool Xi helped the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said **** for tat.

Powell immediately pointed out, "You should never try to guess what the Chinese are planning to do! Otherwise, you will regret it! Have we not suffered enough in the past?!"

Powell's words naturally meant something. From the historical support of the National Government to the Korean War and the Vietnam War, these are all actions that the Americans felt very embarrassed about. If it weren't for the fact that the Chinese sea and air power was really weak, It is certain that the situation in the Taiwan Strait will not be the same as it is today.

"I don't think about history now--" Clinton said to two people~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I just want to know, what should we do now? "

"I am a soldier, and I totally obey the president's decision." Powell replied without hesitation.

"What I want is advice, not completely obey this slogan." Clinton said with some dissatisfaction.

James Woolsey glanced at Powell, and then said to Clinton, "I believe in the ability of our agent a. Since they say that there are sensitive materials on the freighter, it can’t be wrong. We should be responsible for the security issues in the Middle East. ."

"We should also be responsible for the security of the Taiwan Strait and the security of the Korean Peninsula." Powell said sarcastically.

Clinton heard what the two people said, and felt that it was better not to ask them, and to get these two guys for questioning, it was just a block in his heart, and finally he said helplessly, "I can't just because of a small problem. Face the threat of being forced to go to war, especially with a permanent member of the Security Council with nuclear weapons."

After a pause, Clinton reluctantly pressed the button on the table and told the people outside, "Connect to Beijing."
