Chapter 643, Michael Grady's decisiveness
The military will hold a press conference at the Manhattan Hotel to introduce the people who came to New York to respond to the lawsuit, respond to the incident, and routinely answer questions from reporters!
Military representatives, Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Grady will preside over this press conference, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley Aldington, General Kuhl and other military arrivals in New York will attend this press conference!
When this news came out, it instantly shocked the entire New York press circle.
As the news continued to spread, so did the vibrations it caused, eventually radiating throughout the Federation.
The attention, which had been gradually fading, was pulled back up.
People's attention to this incident has risen again.
The media outlets are gearing up to make way for the upcoming press conference.
The New York media, especially those provoked by General Kull, are gearing up to weigh Michael Grady's pounds.
Brooklyn learned the news through Bob.
Shortly after cutting off the call with Bob, news came from Winston.
Mr. President may adjust the itinerary.
Mr. President's itinerary has always been closely watched by Brooklyn.
Knowing that Mr. President is adjusting his itinerary, Brooklyn speculates that the ambiguous period between the two is coming to an end and that the meeting is not far away.
After the end of the call with Winston, Bob sent another message, this time from Boston.
According to the latest information from Burke Forsman, Ms. Rozier abruptly interrupted the market-like meeting of the Alliance, got up and left the table, and the meeting of the Alliance was interrupted.
Burke Forsman's work began to bear fruit, and for two days the political alliance was unsuccessful, nothing was accomplished, and the whole day was spent in quarrels.
Brooklyn Party Discipline issued instructions for Burke Forsman to hold Rozier and confine him to Boston, where he could not go.
He guessed that Rozier must have received the news and was about to come to New York to meet Mr. President.
Bringing Rozier together with Mr. President would inevitably bring about a more complicated change in the situation, which Brooklyn does not want to see.
He asked Burke Forsman not only to limit Rozier's trip, but also to make Rozier have no time to take care of the situation in New York.
………………
Seven o'clock in the afternoon.
Brooklyn has returned home.
Instead of cooking today, he bought takeout on the road.
By this time, Brooklyn and Anne had finished dinner and were cleaning up the mess.
Reporter A on TV is presenting a synopsis to the camera. The backdrop is the Manhattan Hotel.
At 7:10 p.m., reporters entered the venue in an orderly manner.
At 7:15 p.m., the camera switched to the studio, where the on-site reporter was adjusting the lens.
At 7:17 p.m., military figures began to enter one after another.
At 7:20, there was silence as Michael Grady stood on the stage.
It's still the familiar simplicity and efficiency.
Michael Grady introduced the participants and opened the press conference.
At this press conference, Michael Grady first announced to the media the subpoenas and charges received by the military.
Chandler Kane had filed a series of indictments. After the Y acceptance, the eucalyptus was arranged.
E.. There are only 20 judges in total, and it is impossible for all of them to suspend their work and concentrate on military cases.
Therefore, the military case was reasonably distributed.
According to Michael Grady, the military official who arrived in New York to respond to the lawsuit was E. Murphy. Y admits the first batch of defendants in the case.
He didn't pull everyone in the way Brooklyn wanted him to.
He showed great cooperation with the work of the court, and the court said that whoever it wanted,
and he will bring whomever he wants.
Brooklyn sneered at Michael Grady, who was talking on screen.
Michael Grady: This is not a cooperation, this is contempt.
He was confident he could finish "The Fight" in the first round.
The trial of the confident court simply cannot move forward.
Confident Brooklyn can't hold out for the second round.
He's going to calm things down in the first round!
Brooklyn chose the venue, and Michael Grady limited time with a backhand.
This is a man who doesn't know what it means to suffer.
………………
At the press conference, there was a surge of people.
First of all, the timing of this press conference is telling.
At 7:20 p.m., it was the day Michael Grady and his party arrived in New York.
It starts at 7:20 and ends at almost 8 o'clock, which is exactly the evening news time, and as soon as the press conference ends here, it can be reported directly there, almost seamlessly.
This is similar to Brooklyn's original pinch to do things and give hot events a night of event fermentation.
The second is the content of this press conference.
Michael Grady voluntarily made the charges public.
Previously, the media had no idea what the prosecutor had brought and who had accused.
Now Michael Grady has answered all these two unknown questions directly.
It doesn't seem like much, but it means a lot to Brooklyn.
If Michael Grady doesn't release the information, it will be kept hidden and gradually released as the pieces go through the process.
[In view of the general environment,
It's like a process of accumulating energy, arousing people's curiosity, keeping the whole thing in mind, and pushing the military to the top.
But now that Michael Grady has announced it all in advance, he has a frank and unrestrained posture.
This is equivalent to eliminating a hidden danger in advance and abolishing the Brooklyn side.
Finally, there is the style of the military at the press conference.
Efficient and concise.
This is a far cry from the usual impression of the federal government.
At any time, a slow, bloated, and inefficient organization will make people feel good, and on the contrary, an efficient, concise, open and open organization will make people feel good.
Michael Grady wasted not a second after the press conference began, reading the press release with firm and precise speech, and then quickly moving on to the question session.
A was still the first to stand up.
This time A was not overlooked.
"Hello Mr. Michael Grady, Reporter A has a question for you."
Arriving at the press conference was a veteran journalist from A, who is well-known in the industry.
"What do you think of the disagreement between you and General Kuhl in the two press conferences you held in the wake of the shooting of Prosecutor Chandler Kane, and does that mean that you are covering up some truth? Was the shooting of prosecutor Chandler Kane related to General Kuhl or other military-related personnel? Thank you."
Michael Grady waved his hand and motioned for Reporter A to sit down.
He looked up, didn't read the press release, and said directly
"The shooting of Prosecutor Chandler Kane has nothing to do with us!"
This is unequivocal and unquestionable.
"We sympathize with what happened to Chandler Kane, but there is nothing we can do about it. The NYPD or the FBI is required to crack the case, and we do not have domestic enforcement powers."
This is in response to the second question from Reporter A.
"There was no discrepancy between the two press conferences I held with General Kuhl
place. There may be slight discrepancies, but they are not inconsistent in caliber. At the press conference held by General Kull, there were omissions in inappropriate wording because we did not fully understand what had happened because of what had just happened, but General Kuhl's overall meaning was no different from the press conference I was hosting later."
"This has nothing to do with us."
"Our duty is to protect the Federation from infringement, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the Federation, and ensure that the Federation and its citizens, territory, airspace and territorial waters are not invaded. That's what we do."
"In fact, we didn't understand what happened after the incident, and we didn't understand why the shooting of a New York City prosecutor had something to do with us."
"Even when he was shot, he happened to be investigating a general."
Michael Grady's previous statement was mediocre and did not cause any reversal.
At this time, even if it is a hard support, you have to clearly express the view that "it has nothing to do with me" and "I didn't do it". Michael Grady's negation is unremarkable.
But the latter words are worth savoring.
Especially this last sentence.
"General Michael Grady, do you mean that General Kuhl's personal actions have nothing to do with the army as a whole?"
The NYT reporter immediately stood up and asked.
This is a trap question that is not a trap.
The reason why it is not a trap is that the reporter did not intend to cover the trap at all, and he exposed the trap to his prey so nakedly.
What Michael Grady said in response to a question from Reporter A sounded right, but when he listened closely, he felt that everything was not quite right, and it seemed to be full of deep meaning.
"There are only some discrepancies between my statements and those of General Kuhl", "General Kuhl did not know the whole story at the time", "The victim happened to be investigating General Kuhl at the time of the shooting......
Taken together, it's easy to read the subtext of Michael Grady—General Kuhl's words and deeds represent only himself, not all the soldiers.
Pondering further, does this mean that the military has abandoned General Kull?
Thinking about it a little deeper, the military's attitude towards General Kuhl is like two people, does this mean that in the struggle within the military, General Kuhl's side lost?
This is where the reporter's question trap lies.
If Michael Grady answers yes, I believe that even if this reporter does not mention it, the next reporter will ask - is this the result of a unified treatment within the military?
If you answer this question simply, you will fall into the trap completely.
- Does this mean that the military also believes that General Kuhl is suspected of abusing his power and hiring murderers to kill him?
- Does this mean that there are still people in the military who support General Kuhl? Does the fact that the military did not agree at first means that there is also a power struggle within the military?
The military has always been serious and mysterious because of its special attributes, and the affairs inside the army are not as well-known as those in Washington.
Once there is a power struggle within the military, and there is a political struggle in the military, such statements come out of Michael Grady's mouth, and Michael Grady's career is basically over.
"No one's individual actions represent a whole."
Michael Grady paused for a moment before speaking.
"Anyone can make mistakes."
"Next."
Wow –
Now the reporters couldn't hold back any longer.
What does that mean?
What does it mean that an individual cannot represent a collective?
What does it mean that anyone can make mistakes?
General Kuhl is wrong?!
…………
Anne had gone to work out yoga, and Brooklyn turned off the TV and went to the study.
He squinted at Michael Grady on the screen, thinking about what he had just said.
This press conference was truly unusual.
Michael Grady is giving in to the media in disguise.
By betraying General Kuhl, the army was cut off from General Kuhl's personal behavior at this press conference, and General Kuhl was pushed to the forefront alone, allowing him to bear everything.
Brooklyn's plan to contact the military itself through General Kuhl was cracked by Michael Grady!
Looking at Michael Grady, who was calm and calm on the screen, and General Kuhl, who was full of defeat and constantly wiping sweat in the background behind him, Brooklyn had to sigh, this is really a stark contrast!
In addition to sighing, it also aroused Brooklyn's vigilance.
Michael Grady began to do things as soon as he came, and he did not hesitate to betray General Kull, which is a decisiveness that ordinary people do not have.
Brooklyn had previously thought about how to solve the situation of setting himself on fire from the position of the military, and the best plan he thought of was to abandon General Kuhl and stop the loss in time.
There was a hint of this at the end of the last press conference hosted by General Kuhl, but the military did not make up its mind after all.
At that time, Brooklyn thought that the military would miss the opportunity and no longer be able to make up its mind to abandon General Kull, and that General Kuhl would only become a burden in the future, and it would be a heavier and heavier burden, so that the military wanted to give up, but they could not give up because they were too nailed to save, and it was not impossible for the military to be dragged down to the extent that it was overwhelmed, or even directly dragged down.
He almost thought that his plan had been successful and that his goal had been achieved perfectly.
But only almost.
Michael Grady's succinct language firmly shattered Brooklyn's good wishes.
Michael Grady told Brooklyn with practical actions:
How could the military be so easy to deal with!
Brooklyn breathed a sigh of relief and sat up from his chair, straightening himself.
His previous inference was correct, Michael Grady was a difficult guy.
"Mark Milley Aldington...... Michael Grady...... General Kuhl......"
Brooklyn muttered the three names, leaning close to the screen and watching the three men's reactions on camera.
Again, he doesn't believe that the military is monolithic.
