Chapter 195: What the White House Sees

The teacher's words are all lies.

Kissinger told Gu Xiao that he would give him two days off on Chinese New Year's Eve and Spring Festival, just so that he could have an excuse not to go to school for these two days.

But outside of school, there are other things to report, and there is no time at all.

On the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, Kissinger secretly took Gu Xiao to the White House, and some people above had something to interrogate him

Thinking about its practical knees, we all know that this link cannot be bypassed.

Because when Gu Biao talked to President Hussein, only Gu Biao himself knew what he said.

Although he will not leave any audio evidence and any authorized physical evidence, Li Gen will definitely be interrogated in person, and maybe he will bring a senior psychological polygraph expert to pretend to be a secretary to observe.

It's just that most of the confidential issues must be Li Gen and Kissinger chatting, and Gu Biao is just a simple polygraph investigation.

Kissinger was also riding in a '75 version of the extended Cadillac Velo, which he bought when he was still secretary of state. 7-meter-long body with three rows of doors.

All the windows on the doors are black, and only a faint light can be cast in, and the outside can be faintly seen from the inside, and the inside is absolutely not visible from the outside.

The car drove in from the northwest corner of the North Lawn of the White House and drove up the ramp to the main entrance corridor before stopping.

Gu Biao sat in the second row of seats on the right side of the car, opened the door and got out of the car by himself, and then quickly helped Kissinger in the back seat also open the car door.

After the two got out of the car, Kissinger's driver continued to follow the arc of the lane, drove the car off the exit at the northeast corner of the North Lawn, and continued along Pennsylvania Avenue to wait in a nearby dedicated parking lot - under the corridor of the main entrance of the White House, parking is not allowed for long periods of time.

Without saying a word, the staff led them into the Diplomatic Reception Hall on the first floor of the Main Building, and then turned into the Connecting Corridor to the West Wing.

In good conscience, although he is still a minion, Gu Biao's mood is still quite excited.

After all, Gu Biao has been a human being for two lives, and this is the first time Gu Biao has entered the White House. Whether you admit it or not, this is where the most powerful power is held on the Blue Star right now.

Of course, the White House is part of the President's Park, and the law does not prohibit people from visiting it. You just need to wait for 10~11 o'clock in the morning of the monthly open day, and there is a guarantee introduction from the senator/representative, and you can enter, no money. However, you can only see the corridor hall showroom, not the living area and office area.

In addition, the aforementioned "appointment with the Senator/House of Representatives" is not difficult, and basically all of them are pre-made, but you have to queue up to limit the flow. If there are many people, it is possible to wait for a few months.

It's best to find your senator in your state or the House of Representatives in your constituency, because he's the 'people' and has an obligation to speak for the voters in your constituency. If you find a councillor from another constituency, they have the right not to listen to you.

If you are a foreign "tourist" like Gu Biao, you should apply to the embassy of your own country.

The Diplomatic Reception Hall, which enters at the main entrance on the first floor, is a place that can also be entered by visitors on open days, and it is also a place that every visitor must pass through. The carpet in the hall is very strangely colored, and the last time it was changed was in 1959, because its colors and graphics had to symbolize the 50 states of the United States, in conjunction with the Star-Spangled Banner.

(Note: The American flag has always been the Star-Spangled Banner, but there are many versions of what the Star-Spangled Banner looks like.) The main reason is that the constitution stipulates that the red and white bars are thirteen unchanged, but the number of stars must be equal to the number of states. With the addition of new states, it is theoretically necessary to update the version by Independence Day the following year, adding a few stars. Because the United States has been aggressively expanding, there are dozens of versions from 13 stars to 50 stars. )

Within less than 100 meters of the west wing, Gu Biao first saw the gold, silver and porcelain showroom and the library that collected ancient books and legal codes, all of which were separated by glass partitions and could be admired in the corridor.

After entering the open corridor, next to it is the press briefing room, where the White House spokesperson will hold a media briefing and answer questions from reporters.

Turn the corner at the end of the West Wing and you'll see the President's Oval Office, which is on the ground floor.

It's just that there seem to be people inside at the moment, so Kissinger and Gu Biao were temporarily led to rest and wait next door.

The exterior view of the White House that most people usually see on TV, and even the "White House" model that was blown up in the "Red Alert 2" game campaign, actually only refers to the central main part of the White House. It was built 200 years ago, and the classical style has been retained, and many of the east and west wings have been expanded one after another, so the appearance is relatively modern.

After all, the president of the United States has more and more things to manage, and his staff is inflated, and it turns out that there is no enough space for a long time. Today, the main building is only a living quarter, the west wing is the president's office, and the east wing is the first lady and other non-governmental private receptions.

The main building and the east and west wings are both three-storey, but the connecting cloisters are only single-storey, so they need to use their own separate elevators.

Gu Biao finally stepped step by step, crossed the gap that tourists could never cross, and also saw scenes that others could not see in their lifetime.

After exchanging a few words with a guy in the door, the staff came back to inform Gu Biao and his party:

"Gentlemen, the previous visitor was delayed a little, and you may have to wait a little longer. It is expected that the meeting time will also be shortened from 20 minutes to 15 minutes, so please organize a condensed conversation immediately. ”

Kissinger seemed accustomed to the situation, sent the other man away with a gesture, and then began to close his eyes and recuperate.

Gu Biao didn't understand the market, so he really started to plan the outline.

Kissinger muttered in a suppressed voice on the ground: "I can't suppress so much, just symbolically minus two minutes to give Wise some face." There are three minutes left, and he will be deducted from behind! That idiot deserves to do such a bad job. ”

It turned out that he had already been mentally prepared to suppress the time of the visitors behind.

Gu Biao couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

It turns out that Kissinger, who looks old and friendly, also has a side-to-stab for his teammates.

……

I don't know how long I waited, Kissinger finally led Gu Biao into the Oval Office.

Half a circle of white wood lattice south-facing floor-to-ceiling windows let in very good lighting, and there are no lights in the office.

On the wall hangs a portrait of George Watsonton, which has remained unchanged since the day the office was built.

President Reagan sat at a thick, rectangular desk that was so dark that it was old, and nodded slightly to the visitor with a relaxed expression.

Gu Biao noticed that the color of the table was darker and older than he imagined, and it was by no means the bright red and glowing feeling that was filmed in the American drama "House of Cards".

It seems that Hollywood's prop masters are not realistic. Or it's just like the makeup artist in the wedding photo studio, who always likes to wear heavy makeup.

"Mr. President, this is AO-GU, who secretly visited Iraq, and the whole process is in our hands, even the Chinese did not know any details before the deal was successful. ”

The professor pointed at Gu Biao and introduced.

Mr. President stood up with a smile and stretched out his hand slightly, Gu Biao hurriedly stepped forward and shook it.

Some people may wonder why Li Gen dares to let a person he has never met directly carry out an endorsement mission - but as long as you have a little secret diplomatic experience, you know that this is less risky.

Because before the matter is completed and the evidence is destroyed, the more the president does not show up, the safer he is, and the possibility of being dragged and bitten is eliminated. If it fails, you can still push a staff member out and say that it is a false message.

Since Nixon's finish, U.S. presidents have paid more and more attention to detail.

So far, Gu Biao's evidence of destruction has been done very well.

"Gu, I think you are a smart person, you should know what to do for the rest of your life as if it never happened, so as to be good for everyone. ”

"Of course, Mr. President. I'm just a repeater, not a tape recorder, and I forgot everything when I changed the battery. (Sony already had a concept machine for repeaters at that time, and everyone could understand it)

Li Gen smiled slightly when he heard this, very satisfied with this attitude.

Then he roughly asked about the chat between Gu Biao and Hussein, and Gu Biao also said it, including Hussein's attitude.

Behind Li Gen sat a person who should be a secretary judging from his clothes, and he was writing pleadings at the desk, but everyone knew that it was actually a CIA interrogation expert, judging whether Gu Biao's answer was smooth and whether he was lying.

"Hussein hopes to expand the scale of arms sales in the future?" Li Gen asked rhetorically after listening to this.

"He had that intention. Gu Biao replied truthfully.

Li Gen touched his nose.

He wanted to completely destroy the Iranians' air force as soon as possible, as well as the remaining evidence, but he did not want Hussein to win the war right away.

"I'll think about it, and next time you have a chance to meet Hussein, just tell him. You know, we're going to get Congress to relent......"

At this time, the benefits of the people's pigs are shown, and the things they don't want to do can still be pushed to the head of the Congress without approval.

After talking about the topic of inquiry, Li Gen's demeanor relaxed and entered the stage of rewarding meritorious deeds.

He first faced Gu Biao and Kissinger, and praised the clean and neat action of eliminating the mouth.

"Henry, this time it's really thanks to an experienced veteran like you who has made up for the gaps. When the commandos came back to report, they said that a lot of secret recording and filming equipment had been found on the bodies of Iranian handovers disguised as Algerians. If this route had not been arranged at that time, the consequences would have been unimaginable. ”

At this point, he paused.

Kissinger patted his head: "Gu, you go to my car to get a memo, look at me, Mr. President mentioned that I just remembered, there is something to report." ”

"Yes, Professor. Gu said that this was the exit of the Oval Office.

Then Li Gen spoke privately to Kissinger, and his tone suddenly became vulgar and not so dignified.

If it were all up to him this time, I don't know how many times I would have been blackmailed by the Iranians! The photos and even videos during the handover would have been secretly taken by the recipient!

Henry, if you hadn't reminded us, the Iranians would have kept a new version of the missile and held a press conference at that time, and it would have been over! The international community would have asked: Why can Iran get the missiles made by the technology that appeared after the fall of the Pahlavi dynasty!

Obviously, Li Gen said this because he received the detailed review information from the operation, so he was scared into a cold sweat.

The "Irangate" scandal that broke out later in history is mainly because the Iranians left physical evidence in these two directions, and there is also a big mistake in sending it to the door, that is, when the consultant of Maike Leng delivered the goods, he actually mixed in the models whose production specifications were obviously made after the Iranian discoloration in 79, and did not pick all the old inventory.

Now that Kissinger has Gu Biao as a chess piece, can go to Iraq, and lay out one more line, he has made up for this leak in the overall planning.

Originally, for Li Gen, the credit for this journey is not obvious, but just an additional measure of double insurance. So he didn't take it seriously.

It wasn't until the day before yesterday that the analysis report of the operation unit came back that he knew how much leakage would have occurred if he had just relied on buying a gram or not to be cold, and then he paid full attention to the basic Gu combination.

This is a bit like a person who buys a house, and usually does not take the leakage relay protection system at home seriously, maybe he thinks that these equipment are expensive, and he thinks that the electrician is fooling you to spend money.

However, if one day the grounding wire of his newly installed air conditioner iron shell is not connected properly, and the virtual connection leaks, he just goes to dismantle the filter screen again, and trips after being "banged", he will be sincerely grateful to Dade for the leakage protection device, and even bow down.

This is really saving the life of Zhengzhi, not a joke.

Only at this time can we truly understand that "there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure" in secret diplomacy, and we dare not despise it again.

"Mr. President, you are serious, but I don't really do any work, I just be more cautious. Kissinger said calmly.

"Prudence is important! Prudence is the most important!" Li Gen emphasized two sentences in a row, and then shook Kissinger with a smile on his face, "Do you still want to be secretary of state? You are only 58 years old, and you can come back for another term, as long as there is a suitable opportunity." ”

"I really don't want to live that stressful life anymore, it's good to be behind the scenes, not to have to worry so much. Kissinger politely declined.

Li Gen carefully confirmed his eyes and knew that the other party was really tired, so he sighed: "That's okay, but I think you should go to a part-time job to open an international strategy consulting company, and at least one shareholder is named." The law doesn't prohibit university professors from being shareholders, right? ”

The meaning of his words is obviously Kissinger's current posture of "clear soup and little water", and many rewards cannot be delivered, and it is better to have a business identity.

In fact, in another time and space, after Kissinger taught for another two years and retired at the age of 60, he really hung up a consulting firm.

After the transaction was completed, Gu Biao also took the professor's memo and was put back into the oval office by the staff.

"Professor, your memo. ”

The three parties finally exchanged a few polite words with the snake, and then the two of them took their leave.

Li Gen looked like a corporal very politely, patted Gu Biao's shoulder and pushed him out, while saying something close to the people.

"Gu, I heard that the movie you shot in California seems to be very creative, but I have consulted the photographers' union many times, and my old friends from when I was in the entertainment industry were also very concerned. I'll definitely watch it when it's released. ”

"That's really flattering, Mr. President. ”

"I also have an old friend's family member, and I may have asked for a role, but I didn't open the back door, you know?

"What? The actors are all selected by the director, I think he can agree, so it's no problem. ”

The president went all the way to the West Wing Cloister and then back to his office.

The professor and Gu Biao returned to the car and walked away.
