Daoguo said that in order to take the overall situation into consideration and before making major decisions, Pei Chengyi would chew on Tai Congheng, and was more like an experienced politician than a victorious general who had been through many battles. In the same situation, Yuan Chenhao was a complete and decisive soldier.

On August 8, the morning after receiving the authorization of the head of state, Yuan Chenhao signed the first war-related chief of staff ordering the logistics forces stationed in the Northeast, Northwest and the Korean Peninsula to thoroughly investigate the hoarding of materials, repair material warehouses, repair transportation equipment, and make preparations for material mobilization and loading and unloading.

As the saying goes, before the troops move, food and grass move first.

The war is imminent, and logistics support will definitely be placed on the spot.

Of course, for Yuan Chenhao, all he had to do was issue an order, and the other things were gradually implemented by the staff in accordance with the plan that had been drawn up.

It has to be said that even in front of Pei Chengyi, Yuan Chenhao had some reservations.

As we all know, as early as Yo-year, Pei Chengyi, who was still the Vice Premier of Security, handed over the important task of formulating the war plan to Yuan Chenhao. Yan Jingyu, then head of state, also granted Yuan Chenhao the corresponding power. Although the plan for the world war was much more complicated than the plan for local wars. Otherwise, it would have spent a lot of money to build the world's largest computer group for the General Staff, but only a few years before and after a world war, the First World War lasted for four years, and the Second World War lasted for six years, and the time for making relevant plans lasted for a maximum of several years. After the fierce general first came out, the General Staff submitted a revised plan every year, and submitted a brand new plan in the year and past years. It can be seen that Yuan Chenhao not only lacked ready-made war plans, but also selected the most suitable plan according to actual conditions and implemented it immediately.

Yuan Chenhao seemed confident at the central decision-making meeting, and sometimes he didn't even give Pei Chengyi a face, which was closely related to such sufficient preliminary preparations. In the words of some insiders, it was like Pei Chengyi was an indispensable commander in the highest decision-making level, and Yuan Chenhao also played such a role in the army. Although in some aspects, such as commanding the army to fight, Yuan Chenhao was not irreplaceable. But when it comes to who knows the Republic's pre-war preparations best and who can command the Republic's army to successfully complete the pre-war preparations, it is Yuan Chenhao. This alone determines the importance of Yuan Chenhao in the Republic's army.

For other countries, Yuan Chenhao is completely a different image.

As mentioned earlier, after the Middle East War, about two years ago, the four regarded Yuan Chenhao as the number one target of rebellion and took special actions. Although after the overall situation, the US authorities terminated this risky action that was very likely to cause war and ordered the prohibition of substantive actions against the senior leaders of hostile countries, the US intelligence agencies never reduced their attention to Yuan Chenhao. According to the intelligence mastered by the Military Intelligence Bureau, it was from the end of the year to the beginning of the year, that is, before and after Yuan Chenhao became the chief of staff, and once strengthened his surveillance efforts. He also made a pre-judgment on whether he was the chief of staff. In short, in the eyes of the US intelligence agencies, Yuan Chenhao was not only one of the most influential soldiers in the Republic, but also the second-person of the Republic.

Of course, paying attention to Yuan Chenhao is not only about his personal affairs, but also about things related to him.

The Chief of General Staff Order is not a top secret order. During the issuance process, multiple people will handle it and eventually hand it over to grassroots troops, so it is not confidential. More importantly, under the strict surveillance of hundreds of military satellites in the United States, Russia, Europe and other countries, there is no secret to any mobilization of the Republic's army, let alone the abnormal actions of dozens of military bases and hundreds of military warehouses. Less than two hours after Yuan Chenhao issued the order, a US reconnaissance satellite passed over the western seas of the Sea of ​​Japan discovered Yuanshan Port.

The abnormal situation inside. After another half an hour, the relevant intelligence analysis report appeared on the director's desk. About three hours after Yuan Chenhao issued the order, an emergency call from the old director's office disrupted the dinner arrangements of US President Du Qiwei. At the same time, the information processing system is handling the relevant information in accordance with the emergency situation, sending the relevant information to US military and political officials, including the Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, Fourth Directors, National Security Advisor, Chairman of the Joint Conference, and Commander of the North American Air Defense Command.

Eastern Time, the fly point was the first on August 7. About three and a half hours after Yuan Chenhao issued the Chief of Staff Order, US President Duchway held an emergency meeting at the White House. Participants included Secretary of State Williams, Secretary of Defense Stark, Director of Uranium Lewis, former Director Holyfield, National Security Adviser Bobridge, Joint Conference Chairman General Rockville and North American Air Defense Commander General Philip.

It can be said that these people are core members of Duqiwei's team.

Stark doesn't need to introduce it. He is the second time he serves as Secretary of Defense. Williams is a former senior diplomat of the Democratic Party. He served as a consul, ambassador and assistant secretary of state in the Brandino government. He is also one of the founders of the Democratic Party and is recognized as the most outstanding diplomatic talent in the Democratic Party. Because in the American political system, the Secretary of State is mainly responsible for diplomatic affairs, he is also an expert on diplomatic issues for Ducheewe. The four and old leaders are one of the former Democratic Party and the other is a former Republican member, among which Lewis and Duchee

Wei has the deepest friendship, and Holyfield is completely consistent with Ducheway in terms of basic views. Cannon Bridge is a relatively unfamiliar face, and it is far less important in Ducheway's administration than the ones mentioned above. It is not that this hawkish figure from the Republican Party has no talent. But in Ducheway, there is not much room for talent like him to display, because Ducheway himself is an outstanding military strategist. General Rockville and General Philip met Ducheway thirty years ago. The two are soldiers who do not have much political mind and are simple.

Of course, there are more than just a few capable and patriots around Duqiwei.

The other people who are more familiar with the outside world are the US Army Chief of Staff General Blüchel, Navy Commander General Kouzant, Air Force and Sky Force Commander General Angelodi, and the United States have also merged the Air Force and Sky Force, and adopted the same method as the Republic, that is, retaining the Air Force number to deal with conventional arms control agreements, Marine Corps Commander General Pazzas, and digital theater commanders. Others who are not familiar with the outside world include Santos, foreign affairs adviser, Chief President Assistant Indira, White House Affairs adviser, Yashenko, and other a large number of staff who are in ordinary positions and do not even have formal official positions.

Of course, for Duchewei, the most important assistant is not mentioned before.

Even more traditional Americans believe that in the Duchwie administration, besides the president living in the White House, the most influential one is not the official staff around the president, but the vice president who is backed up. Some people even believe that the Duchwie administration will completely change the political landscape of the United States, making the vice president who was rarely valued in the past and rarely played a role outside the election become a real power figure.

The Vice President of the United States is nothing but Mrs. Lobring.

In any case, the one that best reflects the value of a vice president is the election before becoming a vice president.

As we all know, after the Democratic New Year defeated the General Election of the Year of the World, Du Qiwei became the leader and formed a partner with former Republican Secretary of State Mrs. Lobring, and participated in the general election of the year. Although many people believe that it is a pity that the Democratic New Year was not able to enter the White House in this general election, Du Qiwei and Mrs. Lobring did not think so, because before the election, the two believed that the Democratic New Year was unlikely to win. The purpose of participating in the general election was to stabilize voters and lay the foundation for winning the general election four years later. It is precisely because in previous general elections, Du Qiwei once again partnered with Mrs. Lobring and won with no suspense.

In a sense, the Democratic Party was able to defeat the Republican and the Democratic Party in the first round of elections and did not drag the election into the second round of elections. The US Congress passed a constitutional amendment, which clearly stated that when the three parties and more parties run for elections and no party receives more than half of the electoral votes, the new election method that will be played by the two parties with the largest number of votes will be the new election method. To put it bluntly, it is precisely because of the existence of Mrs. Lobring and her convincing some interest groups and civil forces that have been loyal to the Republican Party in the past that Duchwit won more than half of the electoral votes in the first round of elections. According to the comments of the TV station, it is precisely because of Mrs. Lobring's efforts that the United States has resolved the most thrilling country since the Civil War without any danger.

The internal crisis united American society and did not fall apart from the multi-party competition. Although the comments as the throat of the Democratic League are a bit biased, judging from the situation at that time, if the election was forced to enter the second round and two parties with the most votes competed for the presidential throne, it would indeed be possible to divide American society and cause a serious social crisis. If this problem was not prominent in peacetime, the United States had a perfect democratic system and a perfect legal system. After the initial pain, American citizens would gradually accept the new rules of the game. The problem is that in recent years, at the critical moment when the world war was about to break out, any degree of turmoil in American society, even the signs of turmoil, could become a signal of the war. When its strength was not as good as that of the Republic, it was even more difficult for the United States to win.

Winning the election does not mean winning the trust and support of all Americans.

It must be admitted that Duchewei is not only an outstanding general, but also an excellent politician.

Because he was widowed in his early years and had no daughter according to American traditions, his daughter could exercise the rights of the first lady on important occasions when his wife passed away or divorced. At the inauguration ceremony at the beginning of the year, Duchway broke the tradition and invited Mrs. Lobring to take the oath of office with him.

At that time, Duchway's move caused widespread controversy. In the eyes of many Americans, the primary purpose of setting up a vice president is to make a "backup." That is, if the president is assassinated, sick, etc., the vice president will become president. The federal government and federal agencies will not be affected too much. The Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives is the Speaker of the Federal House to ensure that the state machine can operate normally.

In this way, the president and the vice president should keep a proper distance and must not get too close. In addition to some particularly important activities, the president and the vice president must even try to avoid staying together to avoid encountering unexpected problems at the same time. From the perspective of checks and balances of power... The core system also has a great significance, which is to form a barrier to restrain the president. Regret and curse mountain dare not use the power of the state. You should know that according to the American system, as long as two-thirds of the cabinet members believe that the president no longer has the ability to lead the country, they can remove the president without passing through the parliament and the Supreme Court. If the removal order wants to take effect, they must obtain the support of the vice president. Although this situation has never happened, because almost all cabinet members are chosen by the president and the possibility of collective betrayal of the president is slim, this system can definitely restrain the president, and among them, the role played by the vice president is the most important. In short, in the eyes of most Americans, the president and the vice president cannot get too close.

The problem is that in the context of the time, Duchway must unite with Mrs. Lobring.

At the inauguration ceremony, Duqiwei clearly mentioned in front of all members of Congress that the United States is facing unprecedented huge challenges. Moreover, it is a challenge from different civilizations. If the United States wants to overcome difficulties and create glory again, the whole country must unite and work together to the outside world. Any suspicion and disagreement will lead to unpredictable disasters. Although Duqiwei's remarks are regarded as a dictatorial declaration by many liberals, it has received the support of most Americans and the support of some members of Congress.

Under this condition, the first presidential decree signed by Ducheewe after he moved into the White House was to let the vice president lead the State Department.

It can be said that this decision is both shocking and expected by most people.

Although Duchway served as Secretary of Defense and National Security Advisor during Westwood and Brandino's administration, and had certain administrative experience, it was much more difficult to play the State Department than to manage a full department. It can be said that if Mrs. Lobring does not follow the needs of the general election, Mrs. Lobring's best role is not the vice president, but the Secretary of State. It has been mentioned earlier that Secretary of State Williams is a senior diplomat, not an administrative expert. Duchway's arrangement is to create space for Mrs. Lobring. More importantly, after the State Department handed over to Mrs. Lobring to Mrs. Lobring, it was actually formed to be responsible for domestic administrative affairs and Williams is responsible for diplomatic affairs. Duchway personally is responsible for national defense affairs, which is also the ideal structure of the US domestic power framework.

From another perspective, Duchway did this to stabilize Mrs. Lobring.

According to some unconfirmed rumors, after losing in the general election in 2018, Mrs. Lobring once again developed the intention to retreat, and did not think about joining forces with Duqiwei to attack the presidential throne again. If this is true, Duqiwei would probably have to make a substantial promise to convince Mrs. Lobring. From this, it can be seen that Mrs. Lobring repeatedly threatened retirement, not really thinking about living a pastoral life, but trying to gain substantial benefits. In short, in terms of the situation at the beginning of the year, no matter what Duqiwei felt, she had to let Mrs. Lobring be responsible for administrative affairs.

It is not difficult to understand this point. In the American power system, Mrs. Lobring has a very important position.

That's why Duchway did not greet other officials in the round office, but waited until all the participants arrived before rushing over with Mrs. Lobring. Of course, according to etiquette, after Mrs. Lobring took her seat, Duchway sat on the wooden sheepskin swivel chair customized by President Franklin Roosevelt, which had been serving President Midfielder for hundreds of years.

Like previous meetings, the situation will be first introduced by two heads of intelligence agencies.

Because the intelligence is provided by the old, and the US strategic intelligence system directly grasps four reconnaissance satellites, but the quantity and performance are not comparable, and it is mainly used to gather specific information and is not responsible for daily strategic alerts, so the situation is mainly introduced by Holyfield, and Lewis only made additional explanations on the old intelligence when necessary.

It only took minutes to introduce the information, which was very efficient.

It can be said that this is one of the biggest changes that Ducheway brought to the US federal government. Although the bureaucracy problem of the US government has been criticized, no president has really tried his best to solve this problem before Ducheway. Even Eisenhower, who also came from the army, only reduced the size of the federal government during his tenure. It was not able to significantly improve administrative efficiency. Ducheway took office for just half a year and made the federal government look new. Not to mention other departments, for the White House, not only has the number of staff reduced by one third, but the work efficiency has been nearly doubled. Affected by this, federal government officials and staff were very tactful when reporting to the president, and no one dared to take official positions. This is also easy to understand. As a retired general who has worked in the army for decades, discipline has become rough. In other words, it is a blessing in disguise that Ducheway did not turn the White House into a military camp.

No matter what, improving efficiency is a good thing, not a bad thing.
