It is no wonder that the United States has one of the highest number of assassinations at the political level. According to a statistic from an insider in the security circles, 11 of the more than 40 US presidents have been assassinated. Lincoln, Kennedy, Reagan, and many more. Even George H.W. Bush and his son have received threatening letters from terrorists. The complex domestic environment requires that American bodyguards must have excellent skills and qualities. If you count it again, there are also several US presidents who have escaped from the ghost gate because of the vigilance of their bodyguards. To cite two real-life examples: On March 30, 1981, after US President Ronald Reagan made a public speech, he was just about to return to his car when he was shot several times by the attacker. Perhaps this arrogant murderer wanted to make a name for himself by assassinating the president, but he never imagined that he would become Parr's name because of this. When the fourth gunshot rang out, another bodyguard, McCarthy, also stood up in front of the president desperately, and fell to the ground after being shot in the chest, and McCarthy, who recovered, became President Reagan's guest and a hero of the United States. In addition, President Ford's bodyguard, White House Chief of Guard, Dick Caesar, is the first to take the lead. Caesar looks a little like Ford, and every time Ford takes Air Force One to get off the plane, it must be Caesar who walks out of the hatch first. Blinded reporters often take Caesar for a Ford slap. Later, Caesar was asked, "Are you not afraid that the attackers will shoot you as if you were a Ford?" Caesar replied with a blank face, "i." (I hope so).

In addition, there is the story of Truman's bodyguards who were willing to be 'bait' for Truman: Truman was swimming in the sea and was swimming to his heart's content, when the bodyguards who were watching from a distance suddenly found a carnivorous fish swimming towards the president. The bodyguard's heart tightened, but he didn't dare to shout loudly, so as not to alarm the fish and cause even worse consequences. Resolute and capable, he immediately jumped into the sea and quickly swam between the president and the fish, acting as the 'Great Wall of flesh and blood', persuading Truman to leave quickly, while observing the movements of the carnivorous fish until Truman was safe. Later, when the bodyguard who was ready to be a 'bait' mentioned this incident to his colleagues, he also had lingering palpitations. In the face of the danger to his life, he was also afraid, but his duty forced him to put his life and death aside for the time being. When the guard target is in danger, he has the responsibility to give everything he has, including his life.

I have to admit that the professional quality and security skills of American bodyguards are among the few in the world.

In terms of overall security strength, they can even be compared with the country.

Mike also told me, "We often get some education, like, watching some educational films, and I remember when I was training, the instructors used to use the video of President Kennedy's assassination as educational material. You may not believe me when I say it, but when we watch this film, our hearts are heavy, and we can even clearly see President Kennedy's brain, but we must admit that this record is quite huge in relation to our educational value. ”

I nodded slightly, feeling that the American bodyguards really live up to their reputation, and they do surpass the country in some areas in terms of political education, military training, and professional skills training. It is no wonder that China sends a part of its special forces to the United States every year to participate in secret military training, but in fact it is to accept the advanced training and military concepts of the United States.

For Mike's words, I think it has benefited a lot.

And I jokingly asked: "Mike, if you tell me this, is it tantamount to leaking state secrets?"

Mike shrugged and smiled, "What a joke." These are not classified to American citizens. On the contrary, I think that your country is making a bit of a fuss, and ordinary citizens feel that the bodyguards of political leaders are beyond the reach of ordinary citizens, and they cannot understand and contact them at all. But for us, it's a little bit more transparent. The more we go to the masses, the easier it will be for us to carry out our work. ”

I nodded and said, "But it's not that we're making a big fuss, it's that you're going too far into the masses." ”

Mike just laughed.

Then we talked about martial arts and kung fu.

Naturally, Mike talks about his experience learning boxing. When he was very young, he was particularly fond of boxing, and by the age of 16, he was already a household name in California. Later, he enlisted in the secret service bureau, and after hard beating and tempering, he once participated in several large-scale national fighting tournaments as the president's bodyguard, and won the championship three times. In the United States, he is quite a legendary figure. If it weren't for his special identity, it is estimated that his fame would be on par with boxing champion Tyson. He and former American boxing champion Ali were once close friends, and they had a good relationship with each other.

Mike explained to me: "Boxing is a martial art that was first created by the Europeans and the British, but it was developed by the Americans. In the first boxing Olympics, the Americans won almost all the individual gold medals, and since then, American boxing seems to have become the navigator and leader of boxing aces. Today, boxing has become the most popular and practiced sport in the world. I dare to say that among all the martial arts fighting techniques in the world, boxing is undoubtedly the most popular among everyone. This can be seen in the ratings frenzy brought about by our American Championship Fight. ”

I said, "That's good." American boxing is indeed a trump card in the world's martial arts, but our country's kung fu is also a world-class martial arts that has attracted the world's attention and has endured for a long time. "I lost no time in selling off my country as well.

To tell the truth, when interacting with foreigners, whenever we talk about things, we can't help but extend to our own country, especially some of the glory of our own country. Whether it is a Chinese person, a Japanese person, or an American, they all have a patriotic heart and feel that their country is stronger and superior than any other country. Therefore, when a couple of people of different nationalities talk to each other, it can easily be extended to an international debate, showing each other the strengths of their own countries, and even exposing the weaknesses of the other countries.

Mike obviously has a tendency in this regard, and when I mentioned the national kung fu, he smiled and said, "Zhao Mi, I think the national kung fu is just a flash in the pan and has not caused too much sensation in the world." When it comes to American boxing, national kung fu is actually only ashamed of itself. ”

I laughed and said, "Why does Mike conclude that Chinese kung fu is inferior to American boxing?"

Mike shrugged his shoulders and said, "You can see it by your influence." Like our American professional boxing champions, Tyson, Ali, Henry Armstrong, Joe Lewis, etc., etc., I believe that all the people in the world who like combat boxing know these people, but if you talk about your country, it seems that there are very few. In my impression, you people like fantasy very much, too...... It's lewdness. In your TV series, the national kung fu is exaggerated to the point of omnipotence. I know there is a writer named Jin Yong, I have read two of his writings, I can't remember what the name is, but I remember some plots clearly. It boasted of Wudang Shaolin like a god, covering the world and calling for wind and rain...... It's too mythical about the martial arts of your country. ”

Mike's words were harsh, but I didn't feel too disgusted because Americans have this style of acting and are too confident. In fact, Mike's honesty has greatly exceeded my expectations, in my impression, Mike is an extremely conceited presidential security officer, but in fact, he is not as proud and complacent as he imagined. On the contrary, in my dealings with him, I felt the friendliness that is characteristic of Americans.

And this friendliness, compared to Kesef's arrogance, is really a little precious.

But I still put Mike in the army: "Mike, do you evaluate our national martial arts and national kung fu like that?"

Mike shrugged his shoulders and smiled calmly, "I'm just asking for the truth." Isn't it? Your country lacks martial arts masters with international appeal. ”

I laughed and said, "Mike, you must know if I name two people." ”

Mike asked with interest, "Who?"

I said, "Bruce Lee." Bruce Lee, you've probably heard of it, right?"

Mike was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Bruce Lee, Bruce?" Haha, of course I do. He is a genius martial arts master who has created the world's traces. His story has been recirculated throughout the United States and even around the world. Bruce Lee has a large number of celebrity fans in the United States. Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of them. In an interview with Bruce Lee magazine, Schwarzenegger said: "Bruce Lee is an idol for many. For someone like Bruce Lee, the greatest thing about it is that he inspired millions of young people to follow in his footsteps. They want to be martial artists; Bruce Lee gave them great encouragement, and he helped countless teenagers around the world. He had a wide and far-reaching impact on the world, and I think he will earn him lasting admiration and respect. He is exceptional. There is also the famous Philippine martial arts coach and stick king Irushandu, who once used his life's experience to try to create a new boxing style, but the appearance of Bruce Lee completely broke almost all of his previous reasoning logic, and finally he worshiped Bruce Lee as an apprentice. There are countless examples, and many people praise Bruce Lee for creating an era and shaking the whole world. His martial arts theories and martial arts attainments, as well as his outstanding contributions to the world's martial arts, are unsurpassed by anyone. ”

Mike gushed on and on, but I was quite gratified.

I really didn't expect Mike to know Mr. Bruce Lee so well.

It's no wonder that with Bruce Lee's influence back then, it was enough to make the whole world tremble.

I said, "It's rare that Mike knows Bruce Lee so well." When you mention him, I don't think you'll ever doubt the country's martial arts prowess again, right?"

Mike Ma put on a look of opposition, waved his hand, and said, "On the contrary, Bruce Lee doesn't seem to belong to your country, right?"

I was surprised: "Mike, are you kidding? Bruce Lee is an authentic Chinese with yellow skin." ”

Mike shook his head and said, "You're wrong. Bruce Lee was American. ”

I was embarrassed. It seems that if people become famous, everyone wants to compete for nationality. Mike's behavior puzzled me. It seems that there was a time when Koreans called Confucius a Korean, and said that Einstein invented the electric light after drinking something Korean...... Just as ridiculous. Just as ridiculous.
