Chapter 1361: Reconciliation as before (first update, please subscribe)

“Skylark is very unhappy!”

After hearing what his colleagues said, Tom Perris looked towards the Oval Office At a glance, "Skylark" is the president's code name.

The main figures in the White House use codes. For example, Kennedy is called "Skylark", Vice President Johnson is called "Volunteer", Jacqueline Kennedy is called "Lace", the code name of the White House For the "Crown"

He shrugged his shoulders and said:

"This is normal. NBC has made him very annoyed recently!"

"Haha, NBC... The Pentagon has never agreed to include NBC in the "multilateral plan" from the beginning. This result is not surprising. As we all know , you can never ask your neighbor to give you his Colt and let you perform your responsibilities as a man for him."

"In the bedroom?"

In the office. There was a burst of laughter immediately. After the laughter, someone reminded:

"Okay, don't let "Roadside" hear it."

"Roadside" is the code name of Salinger, the president's press secretary. He is said to be a press secretary, but he is actually a staff member.

“Isn’t that guy going to buy a cigar?”

The laughter rang out again, as Kennedy ordered his press secretary Pierre Salinger last year before signing the Cuban trade ban I went out and bought as many as 1,200 cigars.

After the ban was signed, Cuban cigars soared by 500%!

Even the young master knows how to save money, and it was from that time on that there was an additional plot in the White House.

As a senior secretary in the office, while chatting with his colleagues, Tom cast his eyes to the president's office on the other side from time to time.

Then I thought to myself - for the president, maybe this is a setback no less than the "Bay of Pigs Incident"!

It’s just that the CIA was the one who was humiliated last time, but this time, it’s the White House, the President, who’s throwing rocks at the feet.

Taking out a cigarette from the cigarette pack, Tom continued to chat with his colleagues, chatting about some gossips in Washington, D.C. It must be said that gossip has always been people's nature, even in the White House These senior staff members are no exception.

In fact, being a gossip is not only a human nature, it is also a professional hobby of some people, and of course it is also their means of survival in Washington.

This point is perfectly appropriate to apply to FBI Director Hoover.

For nearly four decades, Hoover, the founder of the FBI, has been firmly in charge of the FBI - the only federal law enforcement agency in the United States.

In Washington, Hoover has always been an extremely subtle presence. During his decades in office, he collected a large amount of intelligence. Among the intelligence, it is obvious that there are not only foreign spies, but also the private privacy of many powerful people in Washington.

How much information is there?

How many people are involved?

Are there any dark secrets about the President of the United States?

I'm afraid only Hoover himself knows. Therefore, when the President of the United States considered replacing Hoover, he was afraid of harming his own interests.

In the past few decades, Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, and Kennedy all had such plans.

But in the end, without exception, they all compromised!

Even shortly after becoming president, Kennedy made extremely positive remarks to the outside world - believing that Hoover had worked hard for the country for decades and should be able to live in old age due to his hard work and merit.

But the next day, Kennedy obediently retracted his remarks and even told the outside world that the United States could not do without Hoover.

In a word, Hoover has always been an extremely subtle presence in Washington.

This subtlety means that you never know if he has your secrets in his hands.

Because of this, if one day he invites a certain person, that person needs to be careful.

However, sometimes, someone would ask to meet him.

Like now, like this time. In the restaurant of the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C., two people ate in silence. Neither of them seemed to speak, but they both seemed to understand that the other had something to say.

"Edgar, the fish here are good."

"Yes, I come here occasionally."

Hoover replied.

"Clyde should also like the fish here."

Tolson is Clyde Tolson, deputy director of the FBI. He is not only Hoover's deputy, but also his best friend who has worked with him for decades. The two vacation together, handle official business together, and ride to work together every day. They all had lunch together at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, sometimes wearing the same clothes.

The relationship between them... was a pure comrade-in-arms relationship, so pure that after Hoover died, most of his property was left to Tolson.

If anyone else had mentioned this, Hoover would certainly not have cared, but the guy sitting in front of him was no one else, he controlled another agency.

Although it is once, it is enough.

Hoover knew that he held other people's secrets. Similarly, the guy in front of him also held other people's secrets. It was just a question of whether he had more or less.

The knife and fork in his hand paused slightly, Hoover nodded slightly and said:

"Yes, but the French squab here is even better, you should try it."

Before saying After these words, Hoover continued to use his lunch. It seemed that he was just making a suggestion.

The gray-haired man sitting opposite him adjusted his glasses and glanced at Hoover, but he did not speak.

Instead, he silently picked up the pipe, took a puff, and then said.

"Sometimes, in a restaurant, we just need to taste the food carefully, what do you think?" "Yes, this way, it is easier to taste the purest taste of the food without being disturbed by other things."

Hoover picked up a piece of steak with his fork, took a bite, and then said:< br>
“This is the basic etiquette for dining in a restaurant, what do you think?”

“Yes, this is the basic etiquette.”

Then they were silent like this While enjoying the meal, no one seemed willing to disturb others, and everyone seemed to have gotten what they wanted.

Ten minutes later, they said goodbye to each other. After the other party left, Hoover did not leave. He was still enjoying the food silently. After a while, Clyde Tolson came and sat on his In front of him, he said:

"It's over?"

"No."

Hoover shook his head and said.

"It's just the beginning. From the day that guy and others resigned, it's just the beginning."

Glancing out the window, Clyde said:

"He even won the Medal of Honor. This doesn't even appease him, does it?"

"They still resigned on their own initiative!"

Take a sip of red wine, Hoover looked at Clyde and said:

"We just need to eat in silence. Besides..."

When he put down his glass, Hoover said:

"I don't want to go to the White House to receive the Medal of Honor one day!"

"He probably won't do anything to you. After all, a few years ago... ..."

"Who knows?"

Hoover looked out the window and said in the direction of the White House:

"Although that guy resigned on his own initiative, the political struggle and power transition behind it are well known. You can never use common sense to guess what they will do. Sometimes the fish may die, but the net may not be broken!"

After saying these words, Hoover asked:

"What are you going to eat? Is it still the same?"

On this day, Washington was sunny and springy, and a spring breeze blew by. The cherry blossoms in the cherry blossom forest in the Tidal Basin withered instantly. The petals of the cherry blossoms were flying like snowflakes, and the fallen cherry blossoms were flying in the wind. The beautiful scene amazed countless tourists.

……

A few days later, 24 F4 fighter jets were lined up neatly at the McDonnell Douglas airport.

At this time, there were not only Pentagon generals, McDonnell Douglas executives, but also people from NBC guest.

“…With the arrival of these F4 fighter jets, NBC’s air power will be further strengthened, and it will definitely support the free world’s skies in Southeast Asia…”

When Air Force Commander Luke delivered a speech on NBC, Robert McNamara, the former Ford president who gave up $3 million worth of Ford stock and options in favor of $25,000 in annual salary as Secretary of Defense, was happily chatting with several NBC The air force generals chatted.

As we all know, NBC Air Force generals not only trained in the United States during World War II, but also had combat experience with the U.S. military. The relationship between the two parties is naturally very harmonious.

"After the White House agreed to resume the "Joint Defense Plan," we immediately coordinated with McDonnell Douglas to adjust the delivery of fighter jets. This batch of fighter jets..."

McNamara smiled:

“Their wings are even painted with the emblem of the U.S. Air Force...”

“Mr. Minister, these aircraft are a symbol of the friendship between our two countries.”
< br>What is the symbol of friendship!

Of course it's money. These aircraft are only the first batch to be delivered. The next hundreds of F4 fighter jets will be provided to NBC in the form of parts and then produced by NBC Aviation Industries.

However, the F4 fighter jets produced by NBC Aviation Industries will be improved according to NBC's needs. For example, they will be replaced with radars produced by NBC and BMW turbofan engines. NBC will modify these aircraft according to its own needs. Carry out upgrades and renovations.

At this time, Luke had finished his speech. He walked to McNamara, looked at the Secretary of Defense, and said:

"Thank you, Robert. When I received your telegram, I rushed over. You know, we do need these heavy aircraft. After all, we received intelligence that the Russians deployed MIA 4 long-range bombers in the Far East."

"So, we. These aircraft are provided to you.”

McNamara smiled and said:

“With these aircraft, you can better protect your safety.”

Then he said:

“ Although some unpleasant things happened between us, it is all over now,”

“Yes, it is all over”

Luke nodded and said.

“So, we should look forward.”

At this time, the atmosphere at the airport was harmonious. For the generals of the two air forces, they were not affected by the previous turmoil. In fact, this relationship is obviously impossible. When the atmosphere was almost heightened, a Pentagon colonel specifically asked about the delivery of "Deep Blue 2000" - just like the United States, after the White House pressed the pause button, NBC also pressed the pause button.

The "Deep Blue 2000" that the Pentagon ordered from an international electronics company was paused after the pause button was pressed. This kind of thing is very common between countries, just like a couple quarreling. , during the quarrel, now that they have reconciled, they must continue to "share the bed".
