Chapter 91 The President is very depressed
The weather is getting colder and colder. The biggest problem at this time is not how to fight with the Americans, but how to keep the cold. Although Wang Mingyu brought a lot of military coats and other things, a mere military coat can only ensure that it will not be frozen to death. However, there is actually a long way to keep the cold.
It is a disdain to say how cold the winter in the northeast is. You must know that if there is no kang at home, you may have frozen to death at home the next day. At this time, Wang Mingyu said he wanted to keep the cold, which was obviously very serious. In fact, Wang Mingyu had never been in the north, so naturally he didn't know how cold the north was at this time.
I spent a while in the Northeast in my previous life, but the conditions were so good at that time. Although I was training outside, I really didn’t feel how cold it was. After all, there was heating everywhere at that time. Even if there was no heating, would the troops really have to freeze others to death? This is the most obvious difference.
Now in North Korea, heating? This is a dream thing. Not to mention heating, there is not much wood for heating. It is all wet, so how can you burn it? Moreover, during the war, these wood that defies fire will become the firepower point for the enemy to attack in a concentrated manner and will become a living target.
Therefore, under such conditions, what can I do if I freeze to death? If I was bombarded by American planes and cannons, it would be the most miserable. In fact, why did Wang Mingyu attach importance to the cold protection? Because in his memory, the number of people who freeze to death on the Korean battlefield is very huge. If this group of people can survive, will the end of the war be much better?
In fact, keeping cold is not a matter for the Chinese family, and the same is true for Americans. Even if they wear thick clothes, it is actually difficult for them to resist the cold in the wild. People fight with nature. Is this result more? Obviously, nature has more advantages. Moreover, when people live, nature is a circular body.
The Battle of Pyongyang ended like this, and the Americans came and went in a hurry. This time, the Americans' losses were the most failed since World War II. After World War II, the Americans were proud and complacent, and in fact they also had reasons for their pride. They are indeed the most powerful force in the world today.
But war is not a matter of war, but a man has to fight. At this time, although the strength of the Chinese and Americans is incomparable at all, the strength of other places is different. For example, can powerful firepower be launched in mountainous areas? Can some places such as the 08 Highlands be forcibly conquered?
The 08 Highlands can be forcibly captured, but in addition to doing everything, there is another problem, which is whether it is cost-effective. Let’s talk about the 08 Highlands this time, in fact, it is not cost-effective for the Eighth Army or the entire Allied forces. Their casualties are a bit too high.
If they were taken down and annihilated, the price they paid would be even greater. At this time, in order to preserve their strength and to protect the Seoul base behind him, he decided not to participate in this battle. Finally, he swallowed his anger and let the group go.
The White House in the United States, Washington, seems to be in a peaceful atmosphere from the outside, but the interior is already in chaos.
"Your Excellency President, these newspapers are purely inverting right and wrong." The Minister of Defense said tremblingly. The president was furious and wanted to rub the heads of the Eighth Army to the end. But now this situation has occurred, and many people have begun to support Brown. At this time, the president wants to go against public opinion?
The president does not want to do it, but dares not. Can he resist public opinion? Then his president will still be the one who makes a headline? Now he can only appease these public opinion. Brown not only suffered heavy losses, but also received a medal in the end. Thinking about it makes the president feel stuffy in his heart. No matter how he looks, he feels that he has not been angry. At this time, he feels like he has nowhere to vent.
The president roared angrily: "Tell me why is this? Why did they suffer such a big defeat? Why are they so embarrassed? Why can the Chinese people calmly withdraw in the end? Why is this? And what do these journalists mean? Do they encourage the public to sing a stage drama with us?"
The Minister of Defense said: "Your Excellency, you know that this war was commanded by General MacArthur. Actually, I am not very clear about the specific situation. I just know that their target is Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea. As for why Pyongyang was not taken down in the end, it still caused such a passive situation. I can only say that the Chinese are not weak in combat."
The president said: "The combat effectiveness is not weak? How can I not know what kind of virtue the Chinese are? They were asking us to come back then, and think about it, don't you know how far their weapons and equipment are lagging behind?"
The Minister of National Defense said depressedly: "Of course I know. In the CCP, they are poor. Where did they get their weapons? But they have weapons of great destruction such as tank clusters. I have investigated this reason clearly. All of this comes from an army called the 18th Army, and the most important thing is around one person, Wang Mingyu!"
The president was a little puzzled: "Wang Mingyu, I seem to have heard of this name. Tell me in detail!"
The Minister of Defense held a stack of information and said, "This person is a general and an expert in economic development. This person's threat to us is even greater than that of any other party. And it is difficult for us to move this person..."
The president was a little puzzled. How difficult it is to move? Now this person is our enemy. Can we still depend on his expression? The president's face was a little displeased, "Why is this Minister of Defense getting more and less courageous? He actually has such an evaluation of a Chinese general. Wang Mingyu, this name is really familiar!"
The president said calmly: "Then tell me how difficult this person is? I'll listen to it."
The Minister of Defense said: "This 18th Army is the predecessor of the 18th Army during the Chiang government of China. I think you should have heard of this. We still had a lot of media reports on this matter at that time. This general was very energetic when facing the Japanese. Now thinking about it, this person is indeed very powerful."
The president then remembered who Wang Mingyu was? Speaking of which, the US intelligence department actually knew Wang Mingyu's background. However, when the report was reported, it was suppressed. This matter was very important, and if it was not done well, it would be in chaos in the country. Now the Secretary of Defense pretended to have just received the information.
The President naturally heard of this person, but because it was a bit far away, it was mostly forgotten several years ago. Now, thinking about it, there is really such a person. The President said: "I have heard of this person. I heard that it is very powerful in war!"
The Minister of National Defense smiled bitterly and said, "It's not only amazing. This person is not only powerful, but also has a group of masters under his command. These masters rarely participate in wars, but they specialize in assassination, sabotage and other operations. Their combat methods are unconventional. Their current name is the Special Forces Group. The number of people in this group is not large, but each of them is a master who fights one hundred."
The President was shocked, so exaggerated? If this is the case, this person really needs to be paid attention. However, the President asked: "Can't we have no unit that matches them? The war was launched well, but you have to know that we are also carrying a lot of pressure. We are all fighting with taxpayers' money. If they eventually strike or riot, your and my position..."
The president's meaning is very obvious. If the group incident worsens, then their good days will probably be over. This is absolutely not allowed. So in this case, the president also wants to ask carefully.
The Minister of Defense said: "This is not the most terrifying thing about Wang Mingyu. Do you know the Zhongsheng Group, Your Excellency President?"
The president said with some contempt: "Who doesn't know this? Isn't this a well-known company in our local area? It seems that the assets have reached 10 billion US dollars. It is one of the super-large companies in our Congress. A lot of members of our Congress are supported by them? I have known this for a long time, but what does this have to do with Wang Mingyu?"
The Minister of Defense said a little sadly: "The news we just received is that Wang Mingyu is behind this Zhongsheng Group. In other words, the largest shareholder of Zhongsheng Group is Wang Mingyu, and that Jefferson is all used to deceive us."
The president's eyes were as wide as a bull's eyes, and he was unbelievable at first glance. Is this a fantasy? How could such a big company be run by Chinese? This is absolutely impossible. It's a joke. If this is the case [31 Novel Network Update Fast], then Wang Mingyu's words, the American political arena may have been subverted.
The Minister of Defense looked at the president's expression. In fact, he was not as good as the president when he received the news. At least the president was able to maintain his demeanor. At that time, he thought this matter was just a joke. He even found FBI and asked them to come out.
The president said: "This matter should be impossible. Is the information wrong? Or..."
The Minister of National Defense smiled bitterly and said, "I also think that the information is wrong, but we have confirmed it repeatedly. Finally, we found out that the biggest shareholder is Wang Mingyu. Jefferson said it bluntly that they hired a helper. The shares are just a little pitiful. It can be said that Wang Mingyu can let him get out at any time."
The president said in a frightened manner: "So what you mean is that if we cannot stop this situation quickly, even if Wang Mingyu and the others are defeated, they will pose a substantial threat to our regime?"
The Minister of Defense shook his face and said, "In fact, this is what it is. So I said this person cannot move. That's what it means. We have not found out the people he supports now, but it has already had some weight in the Congress. Now the public opinion is contrary to each other, so Wang Mingyu will definitely not be able to move at this time."
The president's eyes rolled: "Is it possible to give this company..." The president made a move to wipe his neck.
The Secretary of Defense shook his head and said, "Zhongsheng Group has been developing in the United States for nearly twenty years. They are already deeply rooted. We didn't care at that time. By the time we care, they have grown into giant crocodiles. You must know that their industries are spread throughout the United States. If we take action, we may have to step down before we can take action."
Faced with such capital tycoons, they have no choice. The United States is such a country. How powerful can your president be? If you dare to move the Zhongsheng Group at this time, it will inevitably arouse the anger of many other big capitalists. The capital market cannot be destroyed. Can your government be above these big capitalists? This is obviously not possible.
No matter who comes, there is no place to plead with love. Moreover, Wang Mingyu has been doing business for so many years, and he has more than a little contact in the United States? If he really wants to move Zhongsheng Group at this time, I am afraid that the president will definitely not end up better than Lincoln, or even worse. The president will feel cold after thinking about this.
The president said a little depressedly: "Is it really impossible to have a solution? You must know that they make money here and fight us with the money they earn. Wouldn't we be worth the loss? I think we should take some measures against Zhongsheng Group now, at least not allow their goods to be transported smoothly at the border."
The Minister of National Defense smiled and said, "I have thought of this for a long time, but their goods cannot transport the border, but they can have a roundabout way. You should know that there are many large arms dealers here, many of them provide money at home and trade abroad. It is hard to guard against people. It is really difficult for us to stop them from trading."
The president was a bit of a slump at this time. Now, if you can't uproot, this will definitely have no meaning. You should know that Zhongsheng Group itself is a relatively developed enterprise in the arms manufacturing industry. Can they have no intersection with these arms dealers?
At this time, some people who were whimsical about trying to stop them were probably a bit crazy. These people had interest groups behind them, and it was nonsense to talk about national interests with these people. Do they care about the interests of the country? They only care about their own money bags, only their acre of land.
If anyone really violates their interests, the outcome is probably predictable. So the president is very depressed now. The Minister of Defense has always been the president's follower. He will never stand up for this matter. He will die if he stands up. At this time, the president was really at a loss because he didn't know how to face the strange man Wang Mingyu.
