After comforting Mrs. John and the others, Chen Mingzhe entered the CIA building himself. went in directly and found Director Richa, who was lying on the sofa, his brows furrowed, and when he saw Chen Mingzhe, he gently beckoned and motioned for Chen Mingzhe to sit down.

"Have a cup of coffee! Chen, I've been a little tired lately. Richard rubbed his head and leaned back on the couch tiredly.

Chen Mingzhe's voice was a little hoarse, "Director, the current situation is very bad, we can't wait any longer, sit back and watch John and their disappearance, they are now in crisis, and they must be rescued as soon as possible." Again, tell me why they disappeared and where they were. ”

Richard drank a cup of coffee, "I know, the U.S. military in the vicinity of the missing has been arranged to increase the search, John They went on a secret mission, but they have not come back yet, they are actually in a position behind enemy lines, so as for the mission they are performing, I can't speed you up for the time being." ”

Richard was not in a very good mood, and his worried expression was palpable.

Chen Mingzhe directly asked, "Since their task is special, we should arrange new personnel to rescue them, and we should not rely only on local troops, we should send elite troops from the mainland or other places to rescue them, otherwise they will be more than lucky." ”

"I don't want to arrange for people to go, now this is a hot task, now the war is getting tighter and tighter, after President Johnson took office, not only did not reduce the Vietnamese garrison, but increased the armed forces, and our opponents are getting stronger and stronger, the strength of the North Vietnamese People's Army has increased, but South Vietnam is made of mud. Our soldiers' war-weariness has increased, anti-war sentiment has increased at home, and it is very difficult and difficult to send more rescue troops to Vietnam. In particular, the dispatch of additional rescue troops is even more stretched. Whether or not they can compete for additional rescue troops is very difficult for both the president and Congress. ”

Chen Mingzhe stomped his foot, "Then beg these officials, I will beg them, and I will beg the Congress." ”

"And that's not all, it's unlikely that the rescue troops will be discharged, who agreed, and who will be held accountable in case of failure? Even if they can be sent, who will lead the team? We all know that this part of Vietnam is a swamp, eating away at the names of batches of valuable American soldiers! Countless people can't hide, they don't want to go to Vietnam, this era knows pleasure, and a few people are willing to sacrifice their lives! ”

After saying that, Richard sighed, "It's difficult! Chen, you don't understand! ”

Chen Mingzhe was stunned, he didn't expect that Richa would have so many difficulties here. After being stunned for a while, Chen Mingzhe suddenly stood up, "I'll go!" I'm willing to lead the team to rescue John and them. ”

When Richa heard this, he jumped up directly from the sofa, "You, General Chen, you're not joking!" ”

Seeing Chen Mingzhe's expression, his two eyes were as calm as water, Richard patted Chen Mingzhe's shoulder, carefully looked at Chen Mingzhe's eyes, and confirmed that Chen Mingzhe was not talking nonsense, Richard's heart suddenly jumped violently.

"If you really want to go to Vietnam, I will firmly support you."

Chen Mingzhe and Richard embraced.

Chen Mingzhe walked out of Richa's office and ran to his office, refusing to be visited.

Immediately wrote a written report asking the CIA to send someone to Vietnam to rescue John.

The purpose and reasons for the rescue are explained in the report, including the significance.

First of all, Margaret and Scott needed to sign off, but they all vetoed the motion for the sake of their lives.

Only Richa signed the agreement, and the internal opinion of the CIA was not very unanimous, and the director finally acquiesced.

After the redraft, the director of the CIA signed it. After signing, Chen Mingzhe asked him to go to the Ministry of National Defense for advice.

Chen Mingzhe took the report signed by Richa and went to the Ministry of National Defense, and the Minister of Defense agreed.

The Secretary of State disagreed, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Conference disagreed.

It's 2:2, and there's no veto or agreement.

In desperation, Chen Mingzhe found countless other executives, but everyone disagreed.

No one is willing to take responsibility for this failure to save people, and they don't express their position, let alone sign it.

Chen Mingzhe finally understood that because the missing people were mainly professional soldiers and members of the intelligence bureau, if they did not arrange personnel to trace their whereabouts, they would not be able to explain to their missing families, superiors, and the media, whether in public or private.

That is why the head of the CIA and the secretary of defense took the risk of signing the agreement to carry out the rescue mission.

If they don't agree, they won't be able to pay the difference now, and even if the rescue is not successful, they can at least get some comfort in their conscience.

But the responsible officers of other departments don't think like this, after all, they are not people in their own system, and there is no reason for them to rush to the front if something happens, and who will bear the responsibility for the failure, it must be the signatory who bears considerable leadership responsibility.

When Rui saw the signatures of four senior executives, including the director of the CIA, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

2:2, the two agreed to implement it immediately, and the two opinions were put on hold for the time being, and I am afraid that this matter will need to pass the presidential level.

The next day, the US Joint Chiefs of Staff convened a meeting in which the President participated, and the content was mainly related to the Vietnam issue.

When the minutes of the meeting came, what came out was a lengthy conclusion that no one was offended and everyone was happy, and seeing such a meeting minutes meant that there was no conclusion and motion minutes, and there was no need to ask or guess the outcome of this meeting, and Chen Mingzhe also knew that this was a meeting that shirked responsibility from each other.

Chen Mingzhe was furious, his military uniform was neatly dressed, and when the new US Joint Chiefs of Staff was convened, Chen Mingzhe left the CIA building directly and drove to the White House.

The staff practice meeting was still an hour away. There were many people blocking the entrance of the White House, and Chen Mingzhe waited in the lobby of the White House, and finally the song ended, and many generals and civilian officials left the office in twos and threes, some were exhausted, some were leisurely, and some had nothing to do with themselves, chatting about the party organized a few days ago, and chatting about how to solve the Vietnam issue.

But no one talked about how to solve the problem of the disappearance of hundreds of people such as John, did these chiefs not know? Isn't this a big deal, isn't it a big deal?

As a matter of fact, Chen Mingzhe misunderstood, the matter of the disappearance of hundreds of people is not a trivial matter, the Vietnam issue has been heating up recently, and it has always been an important part of the meeting, and the issue of disappearances has been discussed for a long time, and it is sometimes at a loss and there is no conclusion.

When almost everyone left, Chen Mingzhe was a little desperate, feeling that it was unlikely that he would run into the president, and was thinking about breaking into the president's office.

There was a commotion in all directions, and an American in good spirits, in his fifties, with a smile in his eyes, was tall and burly, with a loud voice, and an impatient temperament, in addition to all these characteristics.

He is also said to have an amazing memory, an alert mind, and a witty sense of humor and endowment. Lyndon Baines Johnson, the 36th president of the United States, finally appeared in front of Chen Mingzhe as Chen Mingzhe wished, speaking loudly and even a little rude, but still very gentle when greeting the people around him.

The president came over with a few members of his entourage and the secretary of state, and the president was talking loudly, and his interest was still very high.

Chen Mingzhe rushed over with an arrow, "Hello Mr. President, I am Chen Mingzhe of the CIA, and I have an important matter to report to you. ”
