PS: Second update

The renovation of the White House was finally completed as scheduled two months after Truman's death, and as a landmark building that has welcomed dozens of US presidents, it will not undergo any large-scale changes because of Truman's departure, and the only small change is probably that there is an extra Albon on that wall? William? Barkley's portrait is a symbol of the highest power in the United States with successive U.S. presidents.

This is Albon? William? Three months after President Barkley took over the presidency, a fortuitous crisis catapulted him from the vice presidency to the hottest figure in the White House, and he finally sat in the coveted presidential office. As long as you gently sign a name on a document, you can even change the course of the entire world history, this feeling of supreme power is something that ordinary people dare not hope for in their lives.

The White House was resurfaced with white marble tiles to replace the original badly worn floor. William? Barkley's leather shoes have the feeling of the supremacy of the country's leaders when they are stepped on. He walked into the president's office, sat down as usual, flipped through the papers that his secretary had stacked, and began his day's work.

No sooner had President Barkley read the first document and signed his name than he heard the sound of leather shoes clattering in the hallway outside the door, and Barkley knew that there must be something more urgent to report to him, so he put down his pen and waited for the other party to come in.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, there was a knock on the door of the president's office, which had been modified by the Truman assassination. So the knock on the door sounds extra thick and rhythmic.

"Please come in." Truman closed the papers in front of him and set them aside, signaling that the people outside the door could come in.

After receiving the president's consent, Secretary of Defense Luis ? Johnson hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in. In his hand was the document Albert had provided him with yesterday, including a brief design and general idea for the F104 fighter jet, and of course a vision for a large early warning radar array at the level of the Steel Graveyard.

"Good morning, Louis, is there anything wrong with being in such a hurry?" Seeing the other party's anxious appearance, President Barkley greeted Louis and signaled him not to be so nervous.

"Your Excellency President Barkley. I think you should take a look at this, a detailed report about a new fighter and radar. "Louis? Johnson handed Albert's plan to President Barkley.

President Barkley's face instantly turned ugly, and he hadn't opened the document yet. He just held it in his hand and raised it, and reprimanded, "Just a document on a new fighter and radar, you also need to come and ask about it in person, the Minister of Defense?" Why don't you just give me a report and ask me to sign it? ”

In Buckley's eyes, unless the United States was in direct conflict with the Soviet Union, politics could be used. Economic and military means to settle things. That's not a problem.

"Of course, I understand this, and the reason why I came to the President's office is that I hope that His Excellency the President will be able to see this plan with his own eyes, because this plan is really ...... It's amazing. ”

President Barkley naturally ignored Louis's slightly exaggerated statement, but the large early warning radar is actually not an exaggeration, after all, it is a product of 30 years ahead of the world, and it is the crystallization of the black technology tree of the year. No one dared to say what the world was like in 1976. At first, President Barkley had a disdainful expression, but the more he looked down, the heavier his expression became. When he turned to the last page, his gaze stayed on the last signature, and he was reluctant to take it off for a long time.

"Your Excellency? Your Excellency? You okay? "Look at Barkley's stunned look. Louis leaned forward and called a few times, pulling Barkley back from his musings to the real world.

"I see it, Albert, Albert." President Barkley scratched his head, the thought of the name gave him the same headache as Truman, although he did not really understand the strength of the other party, but a crown prince who can use nuclear technology to exchange the United States for an industrial base, the political means are not much worse.

"This document mentions the news of the new Soviet fighter jet, have you gone to the intelligence bureau to verify with them the authenticity of this news?" Barkley asked, still unwilling to believe that Belgium could complete such an incredible experimental weapon.

"I've checked it the first time." "I can only confirm 40 percent of the information about the new Soviet weapons, because the other 60 percent of the information is not available to our intelligence agents." ”

Buckley's temples throbbed violently, he suppressed his anger, stood up and said, "God, thank you so much to the Belgians, our CIA in the United States can only get less than half of the information from others, tell me what you are eating?" Taxpayers are spending so much money not on pigs. The more Barkley spoke, the more agitated he became, and when he said the last sentence, he slammed the table, startling Louis, who was standing in front of him innocently training.

It can be said that the CIA of the United States was specifically aimed at the Soviet Union, but the United States did not get favorable information, but a large number of news about the separation of true and false men emerged. I didn't expect Belgium, which has always had no sense of existence, to such a terrifying and far-reaching extent.

When Louis's anger had cleared, he leaned back into the presidential chair, leaning back on the back of the couch and turning, and he asked, "Chief of Intelligence Rothko?" Henry? Hillencott called me to my office, and I had something to say to him. ”

Thinking of Barkley's angry and corrupt appearance just now, he has a kind of Rothko? Henry? Hillencott has a premonition that he's going to be unlucky. Since Albert disrupted the world's timeline, the CIA's work has become a difficult job that no one wants to take on. Because every director of the intelligence bureau will label the president as unqualified, and this perception is still fatal, basically bid farewell to the situation of rising all the way, and the CIA will increase with the bad impression, and then the activity funding will be less, just because there is no achievement.

"Don't come and bother me with things like fighter jets that can judge for yourself, I just need to sign the paperwork, you can take care of the rest, I only care about the steel now, huh...... What is the steel coming from, oh yes, the steel graveyard long-range warning radar array. You ask Albert to write a more detailed plan, and then show the physicists who can understand it how reliable this defensive weapon is. Then you just give me another report. ”

The large radar array can only be described as "I don't know what you're talking about, but it feels like it's powerful", because no one knows what role it will play when it's finally built. Barkley is a man who only focuses on results, not process, and if the radar array is really as good as Albert said, then the US government is willing to pay no matter how much money it is. The top-down campaign against the Soviet Union in the United States has led the three US armed forces to frantically propose a large-scale renewal of their land, sea and air equipment, and they are also preparing to make a good profit for the arms dealers who have good relations with the government.

"Once the war machine is turned on, there is no end to it. What the United States can do is to crush its opponents first. Louis suddenly remembered what Albert had said to him before he finally left. Now I finally understand what is going on. Use propaganda and military means to increase the sense of oppression of the other side, and constantly run into the trap designed by themselves, dragging the other side down in the arms race.

Lewis was only worried about one question, that is, if the United States had worked so hard to complete the early warning radar, what if the Soviet Union had the ability to put it together in advance? However, this issue is no longer something that he, as the defense minister of logistics, needs to consider. President Barkley signed the document and handed it back to Director Louis, saying, "I approved half of your armament plan, and the other half will wait for the so-called Doppler radar design to be discussed."
