Chapter 574: Troublesome old fellow
Veteran, means trouble. Especially the guy who is directly called "veteran", he is a huge problem in his own right. The crow didn't reveal much to Hou Dasheng, but Hou Dasheng himself had seen some records about veterans from some information from investors.
For investors, veterans are the focus of attention. Because even inside the United States, veterans are a huge nuisance to the White House and the building. Therefore, they very much hope that the veteran will stay on his farm and not go anywhere.
In order to appease the veterans, but also to prevent those blind fools from provoking the veterans. Almost all of the areas around the veterans' farms are classified as military exclusion zones. The few that are not classified as military restricted areas are also bought by specific people.
So, the veteran's home is never locked. The reason is simple, no thief can fly to his house to steal something. Any thief who is twenty kilometers away from his house will be caught and cleaned up. There's no way to sneak into his farm and steal his stuff.
In order for the veterans not to pay attention to them, not to go to the trouble of the building and the White House. Both of these even tacitly imply that the branches of the armed forces and weapons companies could send their new weapons to veterans for testing. For these, the veteran is very interested. And he's free.
The life of a veteran is simple, and every week someone brings him a generous amount of bread. He has his own farm and can produce his own chicken, eggs, milk and beef. He also makes some cured pork and collects some honey.
Money is of little use to him. Anyway, on his farm, the annual tax is paid by the building. Even the most vicious tax collector would never set foot here to seek death. This is an old guy that neither the building nor the White House wants to provoke.
It's also the old guy that the company tries to avoid provoking. In the company, not many people know about the existence of veterans. Only a few core decision-makers know about it. But none of these people who knew him would let their subordinates provoke this old fellow. They are well aware of the influence that this old guy has over the White House and the building.
The Investigation Bureau and the Land Bureau are even clearer about this matter. The existence of the old guy is like a living monument that everyone is enshrined. No one dares to take it off easily. Otherwise, it will be the target of public criticism. But if this monument were to come alive, it would be extremely troublesome.
Like, now......
"Damn it! Why did you give this task to the veterans?! "Inside that striking building in Arlington County, Virginia, southwest Washington. In a conference room on one basement floor, Robert, dressed in a suit, felt like he was going crazy.
He was one of the few people who did not move from the army to a key position in the building, and he actually worked for the company for a long time in the nineties. He is even the youngest in the history of the company, starting from the grassroots level to become the head.
And his ability was also confirmed in the second Gulf War. That war broke through the glasses of most countries on the planet. Everyone believes that the United States, because of its arrogance, could fall into the situation that the Soviet Union once had in Afghanistan. But what no one expected was that the war would end so quickly.
Now Robert has lost his usual calmness, his eyes are a little red, and his slightly bald head is shining with oil: "Didn't you say, don't bother the veterans?!" He's already done for the country, he's given a lot. Even if he is willing to take risks, we must not let him do so! Got it?! ”
The value of a veteran's life is greater than that of dying in battle, and more importantly: let alone a veteran, even if he loses his hair, his former comrades-in-arms and subordinates will hold a grudge against him. Under the veterans, there are too many people who come out. Many of those people are now holding high positions in the Pentagon and front-line combat units.
"Some time ago, we couldn't hide the loss of the black team. He knows......" An old man with a little gray hair on his shoulder and a little gray smiled bitterly: "Although I am his instructor, I have no way to stop him in this matter......"
After a pause, the old man whispered to Robert: "Your Excellency, it is no longer time to pursue this matter. He said he was going, but we couldn't stop him. I've had the 'S' group re-formed into the black team, with the red team coming with him. There shouldn't be any problems......"
Robert's face was cloudy, but he couldn't say anything. He knew that the news that the red team had been hit hard would never be hidden from the veterans. Because the veteran himself is also one of the instructors of that team, and even the instructor who formulates core training and combat plans.
His loyalty to America is unquestionable, and so is his ability. If he were twenty years younger, Robert would even be willing to let him personally lead this team that gathered the best of the American armed forces. It's a pity that he's getting older. The energy can't keep up.
That's why he was given the position of an instructor. But even so, veterans are very self-aware. He only occasionally went to the training ground to train with the fighters. Then he tested the new weapons and equipment that were sent from all over the place, and only spoke when he was asked for his opinion.
More often than not, he will never interfere with the command and training of the entire team. That's why he's more like a towering monument that everyone looks up to. And that's what they like to see, including Robert. A living monument! A senior who deserves everyone's respect!
He is right by his side, burning himself for the sake of America! Is there anything more inspiring to the soldiers?! Without. Veterans, indeed, played this role.
"I'll contact the company right now, and I'll tell the goddamn bastards at the service provider. If anything happens to the veterans, then all the sites they have in our field of vision will be cleared! Robert's face was fierce, and his voice was almost roaring: "They had better pray that nothing will happen to the veterans." Otherwise, I will make them pay the price if I don't do this minister! ”
In the Middle East desert, far away from the Pentagon, a crow's hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone in Hou Dasheng's hand: "Don't try to kill the veteran, it will cause trouble." Very serious trouble. I don't even want to take on this trouble, you know?! ”
"But he can talk. He's just a relatively pure military man, but not an idiot. He was smarter than everyone else, or he would have died a hundred thousand times. Raven whispered on the other end of the phone, "I'll find a way to get you talking!" ”
