Chapter 561: The Smell of the Enemy? (1/4 subscribed)
The current U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis, a former U.S. Marine Corps general, must retire because he wants to take up the post of Secretary of Defense.
The Secretary of Defense is a civilian and does not need and should not have a military rank, which is a rule and regulations established by the U.S. government to limit the power of the military's top executive.
But in fact, even though the U.S. government has imposed many restrictions on the position of secretary of defense, for people like Mattis, he still controls the U.S. military. It's like he was able to refuse the president's order to have his troops 'protect' Wen Ming who invaded Worthington Institute.
However, those who have such authority are also worried about their future at this time.
"That Nick from the Roosevelt family, who has joined the Marine Corps, is now a lieutenant general."
The secretary of defense told his staff: "He is now a lieutenant general, and if Gladyy Roosevelt comes to power, then he will most likely be promoted to general, or even to lead the Marine Corps." When the time comes, he should take my place as the new U.S. Secretary of Defense. ”
"It's inevitable, you chose to refuse the current president's orders, so that no president will trust you anymore," the staff said. Moreover, the term of office of the Minister of Defense is generally about two years, and it is difficult to exceed this term. In the last 20 years, with the exception of Rumsfeld and Robert Gates, whose terms of office have reached five years, no one has been able to exceed three years. ”
The Minister of Defense frowned and said, "What if I say that I want to be re-elected?" I don't want to be the Minister of Defense with only a two-and-a-half-year term. ”
The staff officer replied: "I think the only chance we have at the moment is with Wen Ming, who has a deep stake in the Roosevelt family, and Glady-Roosevelt wants to be elected president of the United States this term, and it is impossible without his support." As long as we can get Wen Ming's support, I think you can be your Secretary of Defense until that Nick from the Roosevelt family grows up. ”
It is not difficult for a major general to become a lieutenant general, but it is very difficult for a lieutenant general to become a general, Nick joined the Marine Corps, and it takes a lot of time to jump on it with the help of the springboard of the Marine Corps.
It was clear to everyone that the Roosevelt family's arrangement for Nick was to prepare for Gladie Roosevelt's second re-election.
The Secretary of Defense naturally knew this, and said: "In other words, if I have Wen Ming's support, then, I will be able to serve a full term as president with Gladydie Roosevelt?" ”
The staff nodded and said: "This is not difficult, the Roosevelt family has lost serious connections before, and they do not really have a trustworthy senior level in the military, so naturally they cannot elect a suitable secretary of defense." And although we had some conflicts with Wen Ming before, we also helped them during the Worthington virus incident, and it was still a very crucial help, and I think they would not refuse our kindness. ”
The current US presidential election can be said to be a major reshuffle in the top echelons of US political and military circles.
Because the president of the United States has really great power, he can nominate candidates for secretary of defense, vice president, secretary of state, secretary of the treasury, director of the CIA, and other important institutions.
Taken together, these people make up the U.S. Cabinet, which can also be said to be the President's Cabinet.
Of course, these nominations need to be voted on by senators, that is, they will inevitably involve the exchange of interests, compromises, etc., and some people who were not originally in the presidential camp, such as the current secretary of defense, vice president, CIA director, etc., were able to get out of the Worthington virus incident, not only because they were not involved, but also because they were not from Aoguanhai.
If everyone is a person who is Oguanhai, then he is not the president of the United States, he should call himself the emperor of the United States.
The Minister of Defense was still a little hesitant, and he said: "If I cooperate with Wen Ming, some people will be unhappy." ”
He is not from Ao Guanhai, but he was able to become the Minister of Defense, naturally because he has enough support behind him.
For example, those arms companies, consortia, parliamentarians......
Those people helped him to ascend to the top, and then used his power to get benefits, which gave them more strength, more stable voice, and then supported the next person to take the position. This cycle continues, which is why many people will say that those people are the real controllers of the United States.
Regarding the Minister of Defense's concern, the staff said: "So, we must go and see what products Wenming is going to show us." Being able to ask him to invite us to visit the new product he has developed at such a critical moment, I think, this new product is definitely not ordinary. ”
"Even, I think the new product he developed this time is of decisive significance, which can allow him to completely overpower those people and become the most powerful support for Gladydie Roosevelt's candidacy for this president."
"We only need to choose to work with the most powerful people to get the most out of this presidential election. And if you can serve for 5 years, I don't think you will have any problems in this life. ”
The adviser's suggestion was very pertinent and realistic, and after listening to it, the defense minister had already made a decision in his heart.
"So, let's go and see if Wenming will surprise us."
……
Wen Ming did not hear the conversation between the Minister of Defense and his staff, but he was able to roughly guess the choice and attitude of the Minister of Defense.
As a matter of fact, when the time comes for this reshuffle, the top echelons of the US political and military circles must have their own plans and stand in the right camp. One wrong step and they will no longer have a future.
It stands to reason that these people have already earned a fortune that they will not spend in several lifetimes, and they have the power to influence the United States and even the whole world.
When they have those lives that ordinary people can't imagine because of the limitations of wealth. When they have the restrictions of ordinary people because of their status, they can't imagine the high level of controlling the fate of others.
How could they be willing to give up so easily?
"So, at times like these, as long as I show that I'm strong, there will be a lot of people who will volunteer to cooperate with me and become people in my camp."
Wen Ming left Jurassic Island and arrived at the new headquarters of Umbrella Corporation in Canada.
The new headquarters of the umbrella company, which was built at the same time as Apple's new headquarters, has been completely completed at this time, but Apple's new headquarters will take at least a year to complete.
Because the umbrella company is an arms company after all, both the appearance of the new headquarters and the internal configuration are not as high-profile as Apple's new headquarters.
Wen Ming is not the first to come, but he has only come to the aerospace business subsidiary of the umbrella company, which is located at the nearby rocket launch site, as well as the satellite R&D and manufacturing center, and of course, the aircraft manufacturing company is also under the name of the umbrella company.
"When will they arrive?"
After arriving at the new headquarters, Wen Ming did not appreciate the shape of the headquarters of the umbrella company, because in his original design, the headquarters of the umbrella company should be like the research institute of the Umbrella Company in Raccoon City in "Resident Evil".
But because of the lack of time and financial problems, Wen Ming did not design it himself.
Donnas, the current general technical counsel at Umbrella, replied: "I just communicated with them, and in two hours, they will be able to arrive." ”
Wen Ming asked again: "Then our new product, has the debugging been completed?" ”
The new product was not developed in the Umbrella Company, but in the private laboratory of Wenming on Jurassic Island, and was transported to the new headquarters of the Umbrella Company for display, which is also to make this new headquarters of the Umbrella Company officially appear in front of the eyes of the public and high-level people.
Donus replied, "It's already commissioned, it's just ......"
Donus hesitated for a moment before he said, "I don't think there's any problem with selling weapons and equipment, we were originally an arms company, but we sell enhancement potions...... Aaron Martin and Hans, aren't their advantages gone? ”
