Chapter 885

Wonderful things in the world

Author: Khurav

In addition to policy factors, if you want things to be done well, human factors also need to be considered!

Lieutenant General William Livesey, commander of the Eighth Army and U.S. Forces Korea, who took office last June, is a Georgian!

Regarding this lieutenant general commander, a very interesting thing actually happened in the future. Livesey, who retired from the rank of general, had a dispute with an employee in a Chinese restaurant in Atlanta over the payment method.

and then arrested by the police

As for whether it is embarrassing or not for the retired general to be arrested by the police, let’s not mention it for the time being. Let’s just focus on now:

On the one hand, this is a fellow countryman meeting a fellow countryman, bringing tears to my eyes; on the other hand, this lieutenant general once cooperated with another army during the Vietnam War, that army was the 173rd Brigade.

To be honest, Carter was a little shocked when he received a call from Rick reminding him to go to Atlanta to visit Mr. General's family before going to South Korea.

What the hell, such a tortuous relationship could actually be found out by his deputy elder father

In terms of paving the way for themselves, the old guns of the Republican Party are still much more reliable than the Democratic Party! When they say things are done, they really do it.

Seeing this bright future, Carter didn't even know what to say.

It’s a priority promotion unit and it’s a headquarters agency. Although I didn’t go to the logistics station I had dreamed of, I was in the headquarters camp. Forget it, it depends on luck!

He took a taxi and wandered leisurely to Itaewon Road. After getting off the car, Carter looked at the Yongsan base that was bisected by Itaewon Road, and suddenly realized a serious problem: The headquarters of this special cat is

In the North District or the South District?

At nightfall, in the huge officers' mess, colleagues from the headquarters battalion held a grand welcome banquet for Carter. As a person who first arrived at Longshan Base, he was personally received by Lieutenant General Livesey.

Who is still a fool?!

He graduated from ROTC, a prestigious school, and he seems to be closely related to the big boss. Is there any need to tell me where this guy comes from?

Compared with a normal infantry battalion, the headquarters battalion is a unit with more officers and non-commissioned officers than soldiers. In such a fox's den, regardless of the actual situation, at least on the surface, on the first day of entering the military camp, Carter

Smoothly integrated into the unit.

The work of the headquarters battalion is not difficult, but it is very tedious and messy. As an affiliated unit of the group's military-level administrative agency, the staff ranges from the personnel staff who assist the deputy commander in handling personnel work, to the barbers and shoe repairmen in the supporting service facilities within the base.

Management is all the work of the headquarters!

There were countless officers and staff officers of all kinds, mixed together with this group of staff officers without a commander. Carter suddenly felt that his job arrangement seemed to be pretty good. At least, the guard platoon leader had a commander, didn't he?

In the afternoon of the next day, after finishing the office work, Carter followed the guard company commander to meet with his soldiers.

Thirty-eight soldiers, including platoon sergeants and signal soldiers, stood in a row in front of Carter. The word "perfunctory" could be seen written on the faces of many soldiers.

In this regard, Carter was too lazy to say anything more.

After briefly introducing himself, Carter announced the disbandment, leaving only the sergeants in the platoon.

"Sergeant Major Yaro, and everyone, tomorrow is the weekend, are you all free? I'm new here, so I believe that inspection or duty tasks will not be assigned to us this week. Let's go out for a dinner together on the weekend, I will arrange it!"

Although the various supporting facilities in the Yongsan base are quite complete, outside the military camp is the colorful Itaewon. Who in the right mind would want to stay in the military camp for a dinner party?!

And Carter's speech did not go beyond the expectations of these veterans. Second lieutenant? He was also a second lieutenant with ROTC background.

It’s so normal to want to play as soon as you get out of school!

If it were in an ordinary infantry platoon, some thorns might jump out and explode. However, in a platoon under this kind of organization. Even if you despise Carter, a new officer with a hairless mouth,

But a dozen sergeants, including the platoon sergeant major, expressed their gratitude and echoed.

After seeing this, Carter was convinced that these people were also a group of little foxes!

Two days passed by in a flash. On the weekend, after eating and singing together, I looked at a group of drunken sergeants who were blushing and had thick necks. They praised Zaka for someone's righteousness. At least they cooperated with their work, and there was no problem!

The guard platoon was not a combat platoon, and there were few opportunities to participate in drills. All Carter wanted was peace and quiet.

At the same time, Carter also received information about the specific content of the G10 finance ministers meeting held in Tokyo!

James Baker, the new Treasury Secretary, really fits his diode persona. Compared with last year's U.S.-Japan talks, Treasury Secretary Reagan was so strong that he smashed the table, Treasury Secretary Baker was so shameless.

Extreme!

Not to mention being strong, during the phone call with the old finance minister, according to the old finance minister’s words, Finance Minister Baker was almost kneeling to Takeshita Nozomi.

The news from Michio Yasuda also mentioned a very interesting thing: According to the guest who worked at the Planning and Investigation Department of the Ministry of Finance, at an internal meeting of the Ministry of Finance, Noboru Takeshita once said with great emotion: "World War II

For us, the United States has always been superior. But Treasury Secretary Baker

He bowed his head deeply to me and begged: 'Please, Minister Takeshita, the United States needs your help.' Everyone, the United States needs our help, but we also need the existence of the United States. At this moment, the United States is in a desperate situation.

It has reached such a point that it lowers its head and asks Japan for help. We in Japan must help it."

After comparing the information on both sides, Carter, who was sitting in the office, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

As expected of a guy with a background as a lawyer, he has this face. What is face?!

As for Noboru Takeshita's high-sounding words, Carter could only interpret them as: On the one hand, after being slapped in the face by the powerful Reagan Treasury Secretary, Japan has understood that the United States is determined to adjust the exchange rate this time, and Japan is powerless.

Resistance; on the other hand, when unable to resist, the already fragile self-esteem was affected by such a compliment from Finance Minister Baker.

Who the hell said this was a "financial black ship"?! This was clearly Japan helping the United States! It was a "gentlemanly act" taken by Japan for the sake of the friendship between the United States and Japan!!

Compared to how I lost all my face after talking to Treasury Secretary Reagan, I still managed to save some face after talking to Treasury Secretary Baker!

"What are you laughing at? Did something happy happen?"

Just when Carter was feeling the wonders of the world, a lieutenant sitting at the table next to Carter in the big office suddenly turned his head and spoke to Carter with a smile.

"Hahaha, something interesting did happen, Lieutenant Mattis."

"Oh? Is it a good thing to ask?"

"Are you done with your work?"

"Hey, there's nothing to do here at all. The monthly fuel consumption is pretty much the same, and South Korea doesn't dare to mess with our fuel supply. If it weren't for my sense of responsibility, I wouldn't have to review any supply and sales documents at all.

Just sign it."
