Despise? This kind of look has always been the patent of the Navy and the Air Force to look at the Army, and it has always been the Navy and the Air Force that sweep this group of troops who eat ash and sand on the ground with their lofty eyes and with the afterglow of their arrogant and disdainful eyes. For a time, several generals of the Navy and Air Force forgot to react.

But after reacting, the first reaction of several generals was to teach this group of uneducated hooligans and buns of the army a good lesson: when we are elegantly soaring in the blue sky and wandering comfortably in the blue sea, what about your army? What are you doing? Isn't it relying on the protection of our navy and air force, trembling on two legs, trembling, and slowly advancing at a speed slower than a turtle crawling?

But it's a pity that the reality of the situation once again made these generals who just wanted to have a seizure make the last move they were willing to do: endure it, gritted their teeth and endured the disdainful gaze that the generals of the army threw at them.

The reason is very simple, these proud generals of the Navy and Air Force suddenly remembered their performance in the Iraq War: not only did they not teach the damned Iraqis a cruel and heavy lesson with a devastating force, but on the contrary, the Iraqis beat themselves so that they did not even dare to raise their heads!

On the other hand, what about the Army, which they had been looking down on before?

Their navy and air force have become gorgeous cups and cutlery one by one, and what about the army, which has always been looked down upon by them? It's a washer!

Reality is always so realistic, and it is also so cruel!

Rejoice! Joyfully! In addition to the three four-star generals harlesampbell and inS. Griffin, several other army generals who participated in the meeting on the army side also looked proud, and with that expression, they couldn't wait to directly raise their nostrils to the sky!

The army looked at its counterparts in the Air Force and Navy, why did they look unkind?

Hmph, isn't the reason simple, what if you fought well in the Iraq war? In the end, weren't you still scared by the Iraqi anti-aircraft missiles and didn't dare to move, and it was our army that finally opened the situation? But speaking of which, what about the slightly smaller rewards given to the 7th Cavalry Regiment, the 3rd Infantry Division, and the two Army Special Forces: the Green Berets and the Delta Special Forces, which had contributed the most to the Iraq War?

Look at how these lovely kids have earned themselves!

What is the proudest thing for the generals of the military? Undoubtedly, when he shows off his might in front of his competitors, even if his competitors want to strangle themselves directly, they can only look at themselves with envy and jealousy, but they are helpless to show off themselves!

Generals Harlesampbell and InS. Griffin have even vaguely seen the possibility of the US Army regaining its former glory in their own hands: as long as the war in Afghanistan can smoothly open up the situation for the Army, and at the same time add the bonus points of the US Army's good performance in the Iraq War, then one thing is for sure, the US Army is indeed at a low ebb now, but this situation may not be long before it changes. ~~~~ This summer, the Army is expected to reclaim a commander-in-chief position and could end up occupying three of the nine seats.

At the same time, the Army may also occupy the position of commander of the Joint Forces Command.

Of course, to the relief of the three generals, Harlesampbell and inS. Griffin, the post of commander-in-chief of the US forces in Korea is still held by the army general.

The commander-in-chief of the U.S. forces in Korea is a subordinate command of the Pacific Command, but due to the special nature of the Korean Peninsula, this position can be said to be very important, because it also serves as the commander of the U.S.-South Korea Joint Forces Command and the joint commander-in-chief.

For a while, the atmosphere between the three parties was tense to the extreme! Everyone desperately widened their eyes, trying in vain to overwhelm each other with their momentum, and the air seemed to have crackling electric sparks!

As for the top leaders of the armed forces of any country in the world, the competition between the three armed services is something they are happy to see, because this kind of competition can effectively prevent the situation in which any of the armed forces cannot afford to lose their hands and do not obey orders...... No one wants to be the guy who will be abandoned if he doesn't use it.

In order not to be abandoned, then you can only prove your worth! How do you prove that you have the highest value? Of course, it was to step on those two competitors directly under your feet!

Therefore, as long as this kind of competition is benign, not only Rumsfeld, but the top leaders of any country in the world will be happy to see it happen.

But at this time......

"Ahem......"; Rumsfeld had to cough twice to remind his generals to pay attention to their demeanor and self-cultivation, "My generals, I hope you will shift your energy to how to win this war, instead of boring playing a game of staring at the big eyes here!" ”

Belch...... The generals suddenly sat down!

Although none of these generals are accustomed to each other in private, when Rumsfeld's voice sounded, these generals quickly realized a problem: What reminds them now is the common boss of all of them, Mr. Secretary of Defense!

But almost all the generals of the three armies conveyed the same meaning to their opponent generals through their eyes: Xiaoxiao, Lao Tzu is not finished with you!

Among them, especially the generals of the army cast the most unkind eyes on the generals of the air force!

This is not surprising, because the current Air Force is indeed overpowering the Army: in the battle for the post of commander of the US military headquarters in Europe and commander-in-chief of NATO's Allied Forces in Europe, US Air Force General and former vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Joseph Brown. Ralston smug from Army General Wesley. Clark took over the handsome flag and successfully served as the commander of the European headquarters of the US army, and at the same time served as the commander-in-chief of NATO's Allied Forces in Europe!

From this time on, the U.S. Army and the Air Force have been completely on top!

Although the position of commander of the US forces stationed in South Korea is still in the hands of the army, and due to the special nature of the Korean Peninsula, this position can be said to be very important, because it also serves as the commander of the US-ROK Joint Forces Command and the commander-in-chief of the joint **, but there is a very embarrassing problem that the army cannot avoid in any case: no matter how important the position of commander of the US forces stationed in South Korea is, it is only a second-level position. ,

However, it is an indisputable fact that since the establishment of the current command structure of the US military, the Army has not had a commander-in-chief among the four major regional commands at least now. Analysts of US affairs believe that this is the result of the readjustment of the structure of the various branches of the US military and the entire unit in accordance with the changes in the mode of operation in modern warfare.

What especially upset Harlesampbell and inS. Griffin was the provocation of the Air Force!

Director of the United States Air Force Association, retired Air Force General John Brown. Schord believes that the change in the way modern warfare is fought is the only reason why the Ministry of Defense now favors Air Force generals.

John. "The Kosovo War was the first war in the history of warfare in which a country was finally forced to bow down by the mere use of air power," Schode said in public on several occasions. The war showed that the time when the United States fought in the twentieth century — sending ground troops to support it from the sea and air — is gone forever. ”

The U.S. Army is very helpless about this change, but it is helpless, and the unhappiness in my heart is certain.

Fortunately, however, the US Joint Chiefs of Staff and the US Department of Defense did not encourage this "arrogance" of the Air Force, but "ruthlessly" dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Air Force to a certain extent!

This is because many high-ranking officials of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Department of Defense believe that the current transformation of the US military is actually more due to internal factors, and they believe that the generals currently being trained by the army seem to be wrong in terms of "type", and the army's tradition is that officers who are born in the military have more opportunities for promotion, but they are a little repulsive to knowledge-based officers. As a result, after batches of officers have been promoted to quite high positions, they are not good at dealing with policy departments and budget departments, including the government and Congress, resulting in the Army's passive access to funding and the right to speak, and the result is a gradual decline in the status of the Army.

At the same time, the Army side met with Secretary of Defense Donald . Henry. Rumsfeld and many others think the opposite, who believe that they need that type of senior general for the post of commander-in-chief, but the Army just doesn't give people a chance. They complained that they were tired of dealing with the Army because some of the practices of the service were incomprehensible.

Of course, the Army also understands that in fact, Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld's aides are embarrassed to say something, that is, Mr. Secretary of Defense and they both have a soft spot for the Marine Corps. This is also the reason why the Marine Corps has had two joint commander positions in recent years.

Now, the relationship between the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the Marine Corps remains very close. The current commander-in-chief of the Marine Corps, James Murphy. Admiral Jones with Secretary of Defense Donald. Henry. Mr. Rumsfeld is an old pair on the basketball court.

As far as the Army is concerned, there is another statement that is gratifying to them: Many experts have pointed out that the US military has been "feng shui in turn" since ancient times, and the current phenomenon of the Army being at a disadvantage in senior US military positions is only temporary.

At present, the Army is not popular in the US combat sequence, but the next "quota" that is not popular is likely to be the turn of the Air Force...... This damn bastard head that makes the US Army feel their own pain when they look at it.

In fact, the next one that may appear to be Gu Ji is most likely to be the Air Force, because the Air Force has always pursued a "pilot culture", but the success of the pilot, the defeat of the pilot, the pilot culture is being violently impacted by two major phenomena, one is the role of unmanned aircraft is strengthening, the other is that the space war in military operations is becoming more and more important, it is foreseeable that the role of pilots is being weakened, if it really comes to the era of Star Wars, the sad days of the Air Force will come.

If this happens, then it is undoubtedly what the guys in the Army are most happy to see!

Very well, as long as you guys don't put on a full martial arts show with me, then I don't have any opinion! Rumsfeld pretended not to see the secret confrontation between the three branches of the armed forces, "Ladies and gentlemen, tell me, what countermeasures do your respective staff departments have for the difficulties they are currently encountering in Iraq?" ”

"Mr. Minister," said the most glamorous boss of the Air Force at this time: Air Force Chief of Staff, four-star General Michael Murphy. Moseley immediately stood up in a hurry, "After analysis, our Air Force Staff believes that this strange virus spread by the Iraqi government on the battlefield now does not have a big impact on our Air Force, as long as our Air Force pays attention to the flight altitude, it will not have any impact on the personal safety of the pilots." ”

After that, Michael. Moseley did not forget to glance defiantly at Admiral Harlesampbell, commander of the Army Forces Command, and the meaning was obvious: look, on the battlefield in Iraq, the vast majority of those who have been brought down by the strange virus of the Iraqis are people from your army! This shows that in terms of future operations, our air force still has a huge advantage that your army can hardly match! …… That's as big an advantage as Los Angeles on the West Coast to New York on the East Coast!

Depend on! What kind of eyes are you! Harlesampbell was suddenly angry: That's right, the losses of our army are indeed not small, and the vast majority of those infected with the damn virus of the Iraqis are indeed our army, but there is no one in your air force? If calculated proportionally, the proportion of infected people in your air force is several percentage points higher than that of our army!

The people on the naval side looked at Michael. The secret confrontation between Moseley and Harlesampbell was secretly happy in his heart: Fight, you guys fight! It's good to fight to the death, anyway, it's actually our navy that is the most powerful, and your air force has supersonic fighters for air combat and bombing missions? We have that too; Do you have a strong land combat force on the part of your army? Our navy also has marines and helicopter units, which are no worse than your army's land combat capabilities!

These guys! Looking at these generals of the navy, army, and air force who were fighting, Rumsfeld began to feel a little helpless, what is this his name.
