Chapter 1518: Haha, this matter is not difficult
"Most people in Congress are idiots, and only a few like Mr. George will keep a clear mind. ”
Asterola gave a little sycophant before getting to the point.
"Those idiots are actually going to provide weapons for free to the Yang government, which is now in power in South Vietnam, which seems to me to be a very brain-dead approach. ”
Old George and Kim Hyun-tae both showed serious expressions, listening to General Astermorean's complaints about the Congress.
Even George Sr. agreed with General Astermorean, who called most of the people in Congress idiots.
And so it is.
Kim Hyun-tae's military plan for South Vietnam was written in great detail, and he used this opportunity to clean up the old military stockpiles in the United States in disguise through military operations on Vietnamese soil.
At the same time, when it cleaned up and consumed old military stockpiles, it found an excuse to make the South Vietnamese puppet regime pay.
In this way, the United States has been able to make a lot of money by clearing up a large number of its old arms stockpiles.
After all, if they clean up those old arms stocks by themselves, the Americans will not only not be able to make a lot of money, but will lose a lot of money.
You know, the cost of cleaning up old arms is really not low.
But Kim Hyun-tae has found a way, not only can easily consume the old arms stockpile, but also train the army, so that the army has actual combat experience, and really get a vote.
To be honest, no one wouldn't like such a good thing.
Of course, Kim Hyun-tae's plan said that only a few people in the military and political circles knew about it, and it was not widely circulated, so most members of the National Assembly did not know about it.
Therefore, when the U.S. military entered South Vietnam and began to engage in military conflict with the North Vietnamese army, those members of Congress who did not understand the real goal were bound to make some wrong decisions.
One of them was the proposal to provide weapons and material assistance to the South Vietnamese regime free of charge, as well as to help them train their troops to fight with the North Vietnamese army.
After all, the battle with North Vietnam cannot all rely on the US troops stationed in Vietnam.
As the South Vietnamese government, we must also contribute to this matter, right?
After all, they want to defend their own interests, and they always let the American GIs fight the North Vietnamese army, what is the matter?
Logically speaking, this is also true.
But the difference is in the word 'free'.
At least General Astemoran felt that it was quite unreliable to provide a large amount of weapons and equipment to the South Vietnamese government free of charge.
Besides, the South Vietnamese government is not short of money, so even if they are allowed to come up with some money to buy equipment, it is better than giving them free of charge.
Besides, the South Vietnamese government is very corrupt, and officials at all levels are corrupt, and they are corrupt one after another.
Anyway, General Astemoran thinks so.
This time, he returned to the United States from South Vietnam in the midst of his busy schedule, and in addition to asking the Congress to meet privately with Kim Hyun-tae by increasing the number of troops and weapons and equipment for the US troops stationed in Vietnam, he hoped that those guys in the Congress would change their stance of providing free assistance to South Vietnam.
Originally, for this matter, Astermorean felt that the success rate was not very high.
But now it's different.
George Sr. had an unusual position in Congress, but he also held the power of the Defense Budget Appropriations Committee and controlled the allocation of secret military funds.
So as long as old George can be convinced, then this idea of the idiots will definitely not be passed.
And for now, he can even convince Old George to use this opportunity to let everyone get a vote.
Thinking of this, General Astemoran, who had been forced all his life and had nothing to do with his 'upper and lower hands', was quite excited in his heart.
You know, he has never used his power to do this kind of opportunity to benefit himself in his life, and now that he has this opportunity, he will of course be quite excited.
Especially being able to work with someone like George Sr.
Astermoreland, which he never dreamed of.
"The supreme head of the South Vietnamese regime changed very quickly, from the original Bao Da, to the Ngo Dinh Diem brothers, to the current Yang Gao and family, in just one year, South Vietnam has changed eight leaders, which shows how chaotic the government's struggle for power and profit has become.
Therefore, I personally think it is very unnecessary to give a large number of weapons and materials and free assistance to these guys.
Because they will sell the weapons, equipment and materials we have aided through various means, methods and channels, and they will not be used to build the army at all, and if they don't get these weapons, equipment and materials, they will become the North Vietnamese army.
You know, North Vietnamese agents were very active in South Vietnam, especially in Saigon, to the point of pervasiveness. ”
Speaking of these filthy things of the South Vietnamese regime, General Astemoran looked with disdain, and it was obvious that he looked down on those people in the South Vietnamese government at all.
"As far as I know, the South Vietnamese government is still quite wealthy, they have a lot of gold, so they definitely have purchasing power, and we don't have to give them free aid at all, and even send instructors to help them build and train their army, and we should let them pay for it. ”
After saying his opinion, Astermolan glanced at old George, obviously to see what old George thought about the matter.
Kim Hyun-tae didn't mean to speak, he also needed to wait for old George to speak first.
After about ten seconds, old George spoke: "It's not enough to let the South Vietnamese government take out the gold they have, we can also take all kinds of mineral resources in their territory, rather than cheapening those corrupt South Vietnamese officials at all levels, if you want me to say, it's better to cheapen us Americans." ”
Asteroran's eyes lit up, and even his face began to glow.
George Sr. not only had ideas about the gold in the hands of the South Vietnamese regime, but even the various mineral resources in the territory under its control.
For these, Astermoreland can definitely hear it.
But in the next second, Asteroran's brows furrowed slightly, and the brilliance on his face faded, replaced by a somewhat embarrassed look.
Seeing this, old George asked, "What's the matter? Is there any joint in it that is embarrassing you?"
According to old George, this should not be too difficult.
But General Astermorean's reaction couldn't help but make old George start to drum a little in his heart.
Seeing that old George asked about this, Astermolan frowned and replied: "Mr. George's idea is very good, and I personally agree with it, but compared to gold, the existing mineral resources are controlled by the power people of the South Vietnamese government, and it is a little difficult to take it from their hands." ”
Before Old George could speak, Kim Hyun-tae, who had been silent, smiled 'hehe' and said, "What's so difficult about this, just let them disappear." Who will use normal means to compete with them for the right to exploit those mineral resources? ”
Old George, who was also embarrassed by Astermorean's words, suddenly became smiling after listening to Kim Hyun-tae's words.
And General Astemoran looked even more stunned.
Both of them could hear the meaning of Kim Hyun-tae's words.
To put it simply, no matter who controls those mineral resources in South Vietnam, Kim Hyun Tae will use abnormal means to make the other party disappear, and then take the right to exploit the mineral resources.
As for through normal ways and means, it is clear that Kim Hyun-tae has not thought about it at all.
Kim Hyun Tay continued with a wicked smile: "We are the saviors of the South Vietnamese government, what would they do against the North Vietnamese army without us? With this as a basis, I dare to conclude that no South Vietnamese high-ranking person dares to oppose us." ”
Speaking of this, Kim Hyun-tae looked at old George seriously: "I will go to South Vietnam to serve in two days, and I will let those corrupt high-level South Vietnamese power figures know this, and I will also let them deeply understand this." ”
Old George smiled and nodded, Kim Hyun Tae's words were very appetizing to him as a hawk.
Kim Hyun Tae said to General Astermorean again: "Everyone earns money, rather than letting those high-level leaders in South Vietnam become corrupt, it is better to cheapen us, at least we also contribute to South Vietnam."
Besides, we American GIs are bleeding in South Vietnam, and these protected guys still want to exert their power on our heads? No, I want to tell them that in front of us, they are all grandsons, and we are grandfathers!"
Joke!
Kim Hyun-tae himself plans to go to South Vietnam to be a 'grandfather', so he will not have any scruples, but he will definitely come how cool he is.
As for whether it will cause any problems, Kim Hyun-tae has not considered it at all, nor has he cared.
Thinking about it, even if something goes wrong, there are old George and Astermorean to endorse him, and as long as Kim Hyun Tae pulls someone to share the benefits together, he won't have any problems.
Eating alone or something, Kim Hyun-tae didn't think about it, because it was simply impossible.
"That's right, you're saying a good thing, how can we let the South Vietnamese guys get their hands on the side, you need to make them realize this reality, and I support you in this matter. ”
As Kim Hyun-tae's hardcore and hawkish old George, of course, he was quite excited by Kim Hyun-tae's idea, and expressed his support at that time.
Old George said that he had to say something, and General Astemoran had to say something, and General Astermorean also felt that it was not wrong to use the war to loot the wealth of South Vietnam, and at the same time make himself a fortune.
So how could he not support it?
"I will also support you, and I will give you some special powers, and I will support you by force if necessary. Astermoreland also expressed his support.
"William, detail, what are you going to do?", asked old George at this time.
"I'm going to bring in the entire generals of the US military stationed in Vietnam, and there must be no one who doesn't want to get rich, right? This matter will be led by General Astermorean, so that General Moran can also enhance his prestige among the US generals stationed in Vietnam. ”
Of course, General Astermolan will not shirk this arrangement of Kim Hyun-tae, and he can also see what kind of benefits this matter will bring him, only a real idiot can't see this, but General Astermorean is obviously not such an idiot......
