Chapter 1519: Dirty Deeds
Kim Hyun-tae's proposal made the elder George and General Astermolan very tempted, because both of them knew very well that if they could really pull the US generals in Vietnam into this interest network, then the benefits that could be obtained would be quite huge.
And it's very feasible, after all, no one wants to be able to reap some extra benefits, after all, human nature is like that.
Is it true that a group of bitter American GIs who have gone to distant countries to fight for the 'freedom' of the people of other countries are they all fighting for the 'freedom' of the people of other countries?
It is absolutely impossible for such a good thing to happen in the world, and Americans do not have such great urine.
Benefit!
It's just profit!
At the same time, the more important one is that the American generals who were sent to South Vietnam were basically people who were not very successful in the army, like people like Astermorean.
After all, it can't be so sleek and sophisticated, and they can handle human feelings so competently, there are always some people who are not emotionally intelligent, and they are very rigid in doing things.
In addition, a small number of high-ranking military officials knew very well that the final result of the war here in South Vietnam would definitely end in failure, so it was still a good thing to send those who were not very social, who they hated, who were not liked by their colleagues, to South Vietnam.
After all, although those nasty ghosts are not very gregarious in the army, their military quality is very good, and they just come in handy on the South Vietnamese side.
Besides, the South Vietnamese side is really fighting, not the kind of soft acting, since it is a real war, there will definitely be casualties, so it is just right to send those guys, isn't it?
Therefore, there was a situation in which some of the unsociable generals in the American army were simply sent to the South Vietnamese side to fight the North Vietnamese.
The generals, who were well in the army, stayed comfortably in the country, avoiding being sent to the battlefield to face the artillery fire and threats of the North Vietnamese army.
I have to say that the United States on this side of the time and space is really not an ordinary wonder, and even the army is so strange that people are speechless.
However, it is precisely for this reason that Kim Hyun Tae can show his strength, if the military system of the United States in another time and space is the same as the American military system in the world he originally lived in, then it is obviously unlikely that he Kim Hyun Tae wants to 'do whatever he wants'.
In any case, this is a very good thing for Kim Hyun-tae.
"I think this is very feasible, and now the middle and senior military officials on the South Vietnamese side are full of resentment about the Pentagon's personnel arrangements, and everyone has seen one thing clearly, that is, the Pentagon is crowding out our unsociable officers.
Therefore, during this period of time, there has been a very strong negative atmosphere among the officers of the army stationed in Vietnam, and this has also caused some changes in the mentality of our people, and many of us have changed their stinky temper in the past and have begun to seek some way out for themselves.
Like me, isn't there a change like this? ”
At this time, General Astmoreran mentioned some ideological developments among the officers of the US military stationed in Vietnam, and also used himself as an example to tell Kim Hyun-tae.
When old George heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.
Perhaps at first glance, it seems that such an ideological dynamic is quite unfavorable to the US military stationed in Vietnam, but the elder George does not see it that way, but he thinks that if this matter is handled well, it will bring great benefits to his own forces and to Kim Hyun Tae, who is about to serve in South Vietnam.
Quite simply, if the middle and senior officers of the US military stationed in Vietnam who have been squeezed out by the Pentagon and most of the military, they can form a considerable force.
And these people have excellent military quality, but they were not very good at being people in the past, their emotional intelligence was too low, and they were not very tactful, so they were excluded.
Putting these aside, if we can entrap these people and draw them into our own power with benefits, the role that these people can play in the future should definitely not be underestimated.
Moreover, as long as these people can be co-opted, it is equivalent to the relationship network between George and Kim Hyun-tae, and being able to smoothly involve the military field is equivalent to crossing the military and political worlds.
Once this circle of relationships is stabilized, it will have huge intangible benefits for the old George family and even Kim Hyun Tae.
Almost instantly, this thought was in old George's mind, and it was thought through.
Now the United States seems to be calm, but in fact it is not, there is an undercurrent underneath the underground, and George has long felt a little uneasy about this.
Those vampires, werewolves, wizards, mutants, and aliens have all come into contact with some politicians and political forces, and are still absorbed by these politicians and political forces, among which the conservatives who have fallen into the field are even more unscrupulous, recruiting a large number of these special humans to become one of their own to strengthen their strength.
I believe that if the conservatives are not contained, then in the near future, those conservative guys will definitely rise again and regain the authority they once lost.
Once such a situation occurs, then Old George and even the hawks to which Old George belongs will definitely be frantically suppressed by the other party.
And even Kim Hyun-tae, Anne, and other political forces will be treated like this.
Therefore, George Sr. needs to find an opportunity to expand his power, to seek to have the strength to protect himself in the event of such turmoil in the future.
And a force that straddles both the military and the political world can certainly make conservatives fearful, and no matter what the situation, it can also protect the interests of themselves, their families, and their friends who are on the same side as themselves.
Now is the opportunity.
So, George Sr. immediately said, "Well, this thing is feasible, and I can fully support it here." Just do what William said, I will fully veto the proposal to support the South Vietnamese government free of charge in the National Assembly, Moran, you give me a copy of the arms purchase bill as soon as possible, I will let it pass, and we will squeeze out the gold reserves in the hands of the South Vietnamese government together.
The weapons and equipment that need to be purchased in this military purchase are all handed over to the military enterprises under Annie's name for production, and even the transportation is handed over to her, after all, she is now the female ship king of the United States, isn't she.
As for what percentage of this military purchase Anne will give us privately, I will find time to talk to Anne in detail, but I can assure you that Anne is definitely not a stingy person, and you can rest assured that Moran. ”
Such a blatant distribution of spoils made Kim Hyun-tae unbelievable.
Even General Astermorean, who had experienced this for the first time, had a sluggish look, and it could be seen that he was quite shocked.
But old George is very skilled in this kind of thing, after all, he has not done it once or twice.
Perhaps in the eyes of uninformed outsiders, George Sr. is definitely a politician with clean sleeves, but in fact, George Sr. is not that kind of person at all.
Holding power in his hands and not taking advantage of himself is not George Sr.'s style.
Of course, even if George Sr. reaped the benefits, he would not have gone as far as the original Tories.
To put it bluntly, old George just took advantage of the loopholes in the rules, so that people couldn't find the slightest fault.
Astemoran quickly came back to his senses, and a look of excitement appeared on his face, obviously once this thing was successful, the benefits it could bring were definitely not something that he, a veteran soldier who had worked hard all his life, could imagine.
So it's no wonder he's so excited.
This also made Astemoran sigh in his heart how wise and correct the decision he made, and it also strengthened his confidence in joining George and Kim Hyun-tae.
To be honest, for a soldier like General Astermorean, who has always been ostracized by his colleagues in the army, it is still easy to subdue their hearts.
Just give them a little sunshine and you can make them shine.
It's just that the Pentagon, as well as most people in the military, are always crowding out officers like General Astermorean and not giving them a chance at all.
So much so that now old George and Kim Hyun Tae have an opportunity to take advantage of it.
"Okay, I'll let her know from Anne's side, and ask her to arrange a time to meet with you, Mr. George, in Washington.
Here, General Moran will come up with a bill for arms procurement as soon as possible, and at the same time come up with a list of US military officers stationed in Vietnam that can be wooed, so that we can more easily know who can be wooed and it will be convenient for us to act. ”
At this point, it's basically done.
George Sr. here, with his power as chairman of the 'Defense Military Budget Committee' and the controller of the 'secret military spending funds', can easily get the bill through and get the deal in the bill to be done.
And old George solved the economic problem on his side, and what General Astemoran had to do was to screen out the right people, pull them into this interest network, pull these people to his side, become a member of the interest group, and then everyone get rich together.
It's impossible for Kim Hyun-tae's side to do nothing.
What he is responsible for is that after he went to South Vietnam, he took the posture of an 'uncle' and used various methods and means to seize everything from those Nanyue officials who controlled all kinds of resources.
And he also needs to come up with a sum of money in advance and hand it over to General Astermorean in private, so that he can more easily buy and win over the officers of the American army stationed in Vietnam, so that they can provide necessary help in many things.
Of course, the money that Kim Hyun Tae took out needed to be made up by General Astermorean from another channel afterwards.
As for the channel of replenishing money, hehe, it is obviously Kim Hyun-tae who seized the resources controlled by the Nanyue officials and gave the dividends to the big guys.
To this, General Astermorean did not object.
After all, Kim Hyun Tae didn't open a good hall, and he only took out the money in advance so that everyone could rest assured, and he didn't just give it away for nothing.
At this point, the elder George, Kim Hyun Tae, and General Astmorean privately formulated such an idea about dividing the tangible and intangible wealth of South Vietnam......
