Chapter 1573: Pressing
Increasing the proportion of military spending borne by the garrison state is not a trivial matter, after all, it is so easy to take money out of other people's pockets? Not to mention that it may affect the relationship between Millican and its allies, so we must be careful and cautious.
Leaving George Jr., Chen Geng did not go back to Michigan, but went to Alex Goodrich's office - as one of the two senators in Michigan, Alex Goodrich has a state-provided office location, and before visiting George Jr., Chen Geng greeted Alex Goodrich and said that he would come to him when he returned.
After receiving Chen Geng's call, Alex Goodrich did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly postponed several activities and waited for Chen Geng's arrival in the office.
Alex Goodrich knew very well that if it wasn't for something very important, the boss would not have come to the door in person, so he politely invited Chen Geng to sit down, and personally doubled the coffee for Chen Geng, Alex Goodrich asked, "Sir, how do you need me to cooperate?"
He didn't ask Chen Geng what he was going to do at all, Alex Goodrich knew very well that he only had to cooperate.
Chen Geng was very satisfied with Alex Goodrich's statement, and he bowed slightly: "Alex, that's the case, Wolfsburg Automobile is ready to enter the Chinese market with the help of the German government, and the goal I want to achieve is to make Wolfsburg Automobile unable to enter the Chinese market, and at the same time I am ready to give the Schroeder government a warning, so that he understands that I don't like things and don't do them casually." ”
It's one thing to let Alex Goodrich work, but as his own cronies, Chen Geng must make Alex Goodrich clear about his purpose and the effect he wants to achieve.
Sure enough, hearing Chen Geng say this, Alex Goodrich's face suddenly relaxed, and he understood in his heart that no matter how big the boss made next, in the final analysis, it was to teach the Germans a lesson.
Thinking of this, Alex Goodrich immediately nodded: "Okay sir, then your plan is ......"
"In order to give the Germans a long memory, I have persuaded little George that we will make some moves next, and some parliamentarians and gentlemen will ask those countries that have enjoyed our protection to increase their share of military spending. ”
Alex Goodrich's eyes widened suddenly: increase the military expenditure share ratio of the country where the overseas troops are stationed?!
Just now he was still wondering how his boss would teach Schroeder a lesson, so he had the idea.
"Sir, with all due respect, this matter is not an ordinary sensitive," Alex Goodrich frowned, and couldn't help but say: "A bad operation, maybe it will cause a big @ trouble......"
"You think this matter too seriously," Chen Geng waved his hand to interrupt Alex Goodrich's words, and at the same time asked Alex Goodrich rhetorically: "Alex, let me ask you, if all our troops in Germany are withdrawn from Germany, will the Germans be able to accept this fact? Will their troops be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the country and the nation? Can the German people believe that their troops can protect themselves?"
"Isn't that possible?" Alex Goodrich was stunned for a moment and asked rhetorically, "Aren't the Germans, Germany@ the army very powerful?"
Looking at Alex Goodrich seriously, seeing that his expression didn't look like nonsense, Chen Geng sighed: "It seems that you really don't know." ”
Alex Goodrich blinked, "What don't I know?"
"The current Germany @ army is no longer the enemy that required Millican to defeat with all his strength in World War II," Chen Geng shook his head and said: "In this way, you go to the Pentagon with me, and I will let you see what kind of wine bags and rice bags the current German army is." ”
Since you want Alex Goodrich to help you pit the Germans, you have to let him know what the current situation of the German @ army is, and there is no better way to understand this than to go directly to the Pentagon to find out how the German army, which is one of the coalition forces, is doing on the battlefield in Afghanistan.
"Good. ”
Alex Goodrich didn't say a word, to be honest, he was also a little curious about how the German army performed on the modern battlefield - before that, Alex Goodrich had always felt that the German army was Millican's right-hand man, but now it seems that this is not the case?
Looking at Alex Goodrich's expectant expression, Chen Geng smiled secretly in his heart, in modern times, many people think that the current combat effectiveness of the German army is still in the "axis of evil" era in World War II, and they always feel that the German army, which can develop the "Leopard 2" series of tanks, equipped with the most advanced Typhoon fighters, Tornado attack aircraft, "Tiger" helicopter gunships and other most advanced main battle equipment in the world today, is still the world's top powerhouse, but is this really the case in the world?
Of course not!
A fact that many people don't know is that after the Second World War, the blood of the German @ army has been emasculated by the Americans, and the current German army, don't look at the three major branches of the military, but look at the performance of the German army in the Gulf War, the Iraq War and the Afghanistan War, you can know that the current German army has become a group of troops who can't fight and drink beer first, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are wine bags and rice bags.
Let's hope Alex Goodrich won't drop his jaw at the result.
........................
This time I went to the Pentagon, Chen Geng didn't say hello to the Pentagon in advance, but it didn't matter, Chen Geng called Louis Michael Roy and said that he and Senator Alex Goodrich wanted to know about the performance of the ally German army on the battlefield in Afghanistan, is it convenient for the Pentagon to provide some information in this regard?
"You want to know how those stupid pigs are doing?"
When it came to the performance of the German army on the battlefield in Afghanistan, Louis Michael Roy, who was the deputy secretary of the Pentagon, had a stomach full of bitter water and wanted to vomit out, and he didn't wait for Chen Geng and Alex Goodrich to arrive, he complained to the two on the phone: "God, I can't believe that those guys are a group of troops, in my opinion, they are a group of pigs! You know, I'd rather those guys weren't our allies, otherwise they'd ......."
???
Listening to Louis Michael Roy's "cordial greetings" to the German army on the phone, Alex Goodrich was stunned, how bad is the performance of our German coalition forces on the battlefield in Afghanistan, so that our Deputy Chief of Staff can scold so bitterly?
