Chapter 316: Advance
Garden, Minister's Office.
"Ahead of schedule to the previous few days... The other day..."
James. Matisse gently placed the cigar in the mahogany ashtray, pondering the intention behind Donald's call.
The president wasn't that clear, but James knew it wasn't a trivial matter to get the president to call.
Donald is in the military and does not have a deep relationship, James is his more trusted partner in the military, otherwise it would not have been possible to make him the secretary of defense.
The US military system is a bit complicated, the president is the nominal commander-in-chief of the three services, and the following is the Department of Defense, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the War Department, the Navy Department, and the Air Force Department belong to the same Department of Defense as the Office of the Department of Defense, and is the most important organ of the Department of Defense, accepting the dual leadership of the President and the Secretary of Defense.
The top minister of defense is the minister, and the current one is James. Matisse.
However, everyone knows that since the President and Secretary of Defense of the United States are both civilian officials, Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has become the top military commander of the United States armed forces.
Although the president has changed, Dunford has not, anyway, this chairman is a two-year term, and it expires in October.
But it's still uncertain who will come next, and Mattis has been thinking about it lately.
He is also thinking about how to coordinate with Donald to adjust the U.S. military deployment around the world, especially in the Asia-Pacific region.
After World War II, the main adversary of the United States has been Mao Russia, a polar bear that keeps a lot of wasps around the world.
These hornet's nests are large and small, some can be trained and some cannot.
Poking a hornet's nest is definitely a very skillful job, if you are not careful, you will be stung, of course, if you poke it well, it will be very good, you will run away, and then the surrounding animals will naturally be unlucky.
Syria is a wonderful place to poke.
It has become a place of competition between many forces, strategically used to drag down the Russians whose economy is about to collapse again, by the way, drag the Chinese into the water, and then slowly tighten the rope around China.
The war of great powers has never been decided in one war.
How to fight, how to fight, every day he thinks.
The general strategy is nothing more than igniting fire to the grassroots, messing up their periphery, oppressing their development, controlling their economy, corrupting their thinking, and achieving the goal of disrupting their actions.
The remoteness of the South China Sea, as well as the South Himalayas, does not serve any of these purposes.
Only the Northeast, only the Northern Dynasties, for China, this is the real point.
That's why there's been a lot of buzz over the years.
Now in the eyes of the military, the Northern Dynasty is nothing more than a hornet's nest, just look at the hornet's nest that has been stabbed in front. If you can do it with a-stirring stick, the rabbit and the woolly bear are estimated to be sour for thirty years.
As for whether the two little brothers of the stick and the footbasin will be stung, that's almost certain, but who cares?
The domestic security system, which has now been raised to an extent unimaginable to ordinary people, monitors all information, directly locates people, who is a threat to the United States, and these materials have entered the core security data center.
Maybe there is a disgruntled terrorist who wants to make trouble in the United States, and he can't even get a visa, so he swims over with a tire.
"Humph!" Imperceptibly, Matisse snorted, then quickly turned into a sigh.
This is why the United States has not been able to fight drugs in Mexico, and it is also afraid of the gangsters who will not die.
However, now there is a guy who is ten thousand times more terrible than these gangsters.
…...
Mattis was a well-known iron man, nicknamed Mad Dog, who fought in the Marine Corps at an early age, participated in the Gulf War, the Afghan War and the Iraq War, worked his way up from Marine commander to Admiral, commander of Central Command, and retired from the army four years ago as a researcher at the Hoover Institution at Stanford.
Then he was invited out of the mountain by Donald for only one reason, his prestige was high, he had never married all his life and only studied two things, fighting and how to fight, because of this, everyone in the army was respected.
When the mutant crisis appeared, Donald didn't hide it from him at first, but the development of events greatly surprised James.
Mutants, who originally thought they were at most an outlier of the King of Soldiers, were at most worthy of the combat power of a SEAL squad.
However, after the bald guy's strength was revealed little by little, he was already close to the superhero in the comics.
Eyes sharper than an eagle, a sense of smell more sensitive than a dog, hearing more terrifying than a cat and a bat combined, and I don't know what level of his sense of taste is, but obviously it is impossible not to be able to distinguish taste.
There is also the rhetoric that can refute the entire lawyer group, and politicians generally dodge the pot, which is enough to say that this mutant has a super high IQ.
The most terrible thing is that he still has a heart worth five cents.
Over the years, the relationship between the United States and China has been so awkward, and after Donald came to power, he was ready to carry out this embarrassment to the end. At such a time, a Chinese five-mao mutant appeared.
Fight, but can't fight, don't dare to fight.
It's not that he hasn't deduced, Matisse has seen dozens of plans, and he himself has rejected thirty.
The so-called strong U.S. military now looks like a very loud fart, except that it is very loud and may stink, and it can't even do mental damage to that mutant, and can only stink to death.
So for more than an hour, James just silently watched these cadres under his hands constantly come up with plans and plans, and he had nothing to do except silently no.
After all the scolding and scolding, there was a major development on the president's side, which, in fact, was a strategic victory rather than a tactical one.
This made Matisse feel a sense of sadness that my time had gone away.
Even that high-quality idea, such a thing as sending money to Pershing Er, James didn't want to get through his mind, when did the United States have to rely on sending money to keep peace?
Now the president has asked for a military advertising contract to be licensed to a company "earlier" the day before yesterday.
In advance... James pondered silently what that meant.
But this pressure and criticism have to be borne by themselves.
What kind of advertising business is this, is it really that valuable?
James picked up the tablet and re-opened the investment proposal submitted by Harris.
This plan was originally arranged for the Ministry of Defense to do it itself, that is, to set up a special department.
If outsourced......
It's not that James doesn't think outsourcing is feasible, and now he's even starting to outsource when he goes to the battlefield and shoots at him.
As a matter of fact, as long as a private enterprise undertakes some work or supplies materials for the army, it is a military contractor, such as a construction company that builds a canteen for the army, a food company that supplies food, and of course, a military industrial enterprise that supplies weapons and ammunition to the military.
However, military contractors will not only contract the business of the military in the rear, but will also follow the army to the place of war in time of war.
Although the reputation of the armed forces security companies such as Shamrock Jungle, Blackwater, and Deyang is not good, who can deny their contributions to the United States?
Veterans are a very important group, and there is a special ministry in the United States called the Department of Veterans Services.
To politicians, they are votes, to generals, they are subordinates, and for the country, they can be an important building force or a destabilizing factor.
He has cultivated military skills for many years, and he has been on the battlefield to kill people and see blood, and he is in trouble at any time in society.
Creating a battlefield overseas so that they can play to their strengths is an idea that has been proposed more than 20 years ago.
Later, Xiaobu funded Heishui, and it was precisely because of this that a black water solved the employment problem of I don't know how many veterans, and also made many fewer soldiers on active duty die.
The division of labor and cooperation, the sharing of responsibilities, the army is the state, but it is not necessary to fight a war.
