Chapter 785: President
Although the president is a little melancholy, he is still funny.
Chen Mingzhe wants to try to get closer to him,
But he was stopped by the guards from approaching, and the president glanced at Chen Mingzhe, who didn't seem to look at him much and was about to walk over.
Chen Mingzhe saw that the opportunity could not be missed, and the time would not come.
He shouted, "Mr. President, I have something to ask you for, please stay." “
The president's smile suddenly vanished, and Chen's shouts caught his attention.
He stopped and looked at Chen Mingzhe, not understanding what this Chinese general was looking for him.
However, based on recent events, the president has a gut feeling that it will not be easy for Chen Mingzhe to find his own affairs.
The president hopes that Chen Mingzhe will talk to him about things that are not very thorny issues.
But the more things you don't want to talk about in the world, the more they will appear in front of you.
Chen Mingzhe stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "I have a document here for the president's approval." “
The president was stunned, and the guards were still hesitating whether to let Chen Mingzhe go, and Chen Mingzhe squeezed directly to the president's side.
The people around heard Chen Mingzhe's shout, and also discovered this strange Chinese general, and more people thought that there was something wrong with someone.
Intercepting the president's signature on such an occasion and not following the normal procedure is like a madman, and the whispers suddenly spread throughout the White House, and many people stared at Chen Mingzhe like clowns.
"What the hell do you want to do?" The Secretary of State is very unhappy, this is a guy who does not follow the rules from there.
"I'm Ming-che Chen, and I'm from the CIA. There is an important matter to ask the president to sign and approve a document. ”
The president and the secretary of state glanced at each other, and the secretary of state held back his anger, took the document, glanced at it hurriedly, glanced at the president with some embarrassment, and silently handed the document to the president.
The president took a closer look at the contents of the document and gasped, this document turned out to be a responsibility document, the president beckoned to Chen Mingzhe, Chen Mingzhe was overjoyed, and hurriedly walked to the president's side.
Unfortunately, the president's words suddenly dashed his hopes.
"It's General Chen Mingzhe, right? As far as I know, there will definitely be casualties and missing people in Vietnam, but this kind of thing is inevitable, and there will definitely be US troops and Vietnamese General Yang Minh Minh there to assist in the search and rescue of the missing people. You don't have to get involved anymore. The president said unhurriedly.
When Chen Mingzhe heard this, he did not agree with the increase in rescue personnel from the mainland. Immediately said anxiously: "Mr. President, our army in Vietnam has a lot of things to do, they are good at fighting, but they are not good at rescue, and General Yang Wenming of South Vietnam has just come to power, how can he have so much energy to help us search and rescue personnel, and I implore the president to arrange for us to go and increase the rescue force." ”
Seeing that there are more and more people around him, the president's speech is easily amplified by others, and it is easy to cause misunderstandings in all aspects, and expressing his position in public means that he has no room for maneuver, which is a very delicate matter.
Thinking of this, the president said in a deep voice: "General Tran Minh Zhe, we can't doubt the ability of our army and General Yang of South Vietnam, otherwise it will be disrespectful to them, I understand your feelings, I will consider this matter, you go back first!" ”
Chen Mingzhe broke out in a cold sweat and had to say: "Mr. President, our friends and relatives are missing, and I am willing to lead a team to strengthen the rescue, please approve it." ”
Seeing that the president's expression was a little unpredictable, Chen Mingzhe had to leave in a huff, but he turned back and looked at the president step by step.
When the president saw the eyes of the people around him, he felt that he was a little stiff just now, and finally said gently: "That's it, General Chen, I'll go back and implement it, and then reply to you." ”
After speaking, the president greeted Chen Mingzhe and the people around him, and led the team away. Chen Mingzhe stood at the door of the White House in a daze with the documents that needed to be signed, as if his heart had fallen into the abyss.
In the afternoon of the same day, the news that Chen Mingzhe broke into the White House and asked the president to sign a rescue spread, and a considerable number of people ridiculed this Chinese general for being ignorant and not being a man or an official.
"This Chinese general, but he is very good at choosing the opportunity to be in the limelight, there are so many American generals stationed in Vietnam. Was it his turn to apply? ”
"Chinese people are like this, they like to be in the limelight, but they are still empty-eyed."
A Chinese, what ability does he have to win attention by grandstanding, this is still the world of white people, and a yellow person dares to go in and out of the White House casually to find the president, it seems that this person should be discharged, and the US military does not need such a person."
Numerous ridicules and hostilities quickly spread throughout the departments. The CIA represented by Richard was silent, except for Scott and Margaret, who were excited, and many others felt that Chen Mingzhe was a person with affection and righteousness.
There is very little cold talk from the Ministry of Defense, after all, they have lost a lot of professional soldiers, and they are fighting for their rescue.
Rumors from other departments spread throughout Washington, D.C., and Mrs. John and other families of the missing people silently thanked Chen Mingzhe after hearing all this.
In the evening, Chen Mingzhe, who was physically and mentally exhausted, returned to his residence, saw three bouquets of flowers at his door, immediately ran to the street, took a taxi, changed three or two taxis in a row, got off in the middle and passed through a supermarket and a shopping mall, and finally stopped in front of a bookstore, came to the back door of the bookstore, and a Chinese stood here waiting for him.
After seeing Chen Mingzhe coming, the other party led him to a secluded place in the corner, and said very unpleasantly: "I have clearly told you not to get involved in the affairs of missing persons, why do you still insist on participating?" ”
Chen Mingzhe lowered his head, quickly raised his head again, and said, "I can't sit back and watch John and Huangshan be in danger and ignore it. ”
Chen Mingzhe was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that the events of the morning would reach the ears of Company Commander Yang so quickly. It seems that there are many things that I don't know yet.
"It's politics, it's war, your mission is not to rescue someone, your mission is to lurk and continue to search for intelligence for the good of the country."
"Company Commander Yang, I'm sorry, I've always respected you very much, but I'm not wrong about this matter, I have to rescue them, because if I don't even care about my closest friends and relatives in danger, I can't even be a human being, I can't do this." Chen Mingzhe said categorically this time.
"Your friends and loved ones?"
"Yes, John is my superior, but he is also my friend and my equivalent teacher, he is my mentor and friend. And Huangshan is my brother, and he and I are a pair of brothers. ”
