Chapter 312 Different positions
"Although I really want to comfort you, An, I have to admit that what you said is real, and this is also the most difficult problem," Leonard also He took a sip of beer, then put down his glass and said in a serious tone.
Although he spoke seriously and cautiously when he said this, An Rusong felt that this guy was gloating and he was watching his own jokes. "So, I need your help, Leonard," An Rusong said, pushing the wine glass in front of him outward, looking at the other party.
"Of course," Leonard nodded, "An, whether as a friend or as a work partner, I should help you, especially at this moment." >
The American agreed very happily and his tone was very sincere, but An Rusong was very clear. The other party said only the first half, and there must be a "but" following it.
"And," Leonard said immediately, but An Rusong's prediction was that the other party did not use a conjunction with a meaning of turning points, but used a Progressive connection.
"These borers hidden in the army are also the targets I am committed to attack," Leonard reached out to point at the file folder, and said in a stressful tone, "I want these guys to join them one by one." They pulled them out and kicked them out of the army. "
An Rusong frowned. He didn't believe that the American in front of him was the so-called patriot and the incarnation of justice, those pure patriots , Just people are simply unable to climb to a high position in an institution like the NSA, so what the other party said must be untrue.
"What, don't you believe me, An?" Leonard obviously saw through his thoughts and asked unhappily.
"Look, Leonard, this is the situation now," An Rusong said expressionlessly. "I have a tangle with a group of lawless American soldiers. I understand the reality of their drug trafficking, but I can't do anything to them. , of course, they know this, so they are using that damn judicial immunity to threaten me. Before calling you, I prepare two options for myself: First, if you can help solve this problem, then naturally Everything is fine, no matter what method is used, let's send these damn drug dealers to hell and let everything return to its original state. Second, if you can't help with anything, then I'll choose to sell these guys drugs After exposing it, he immediately left Korea and found a safe place to hide from the limelight. "
After a pause, he pursed his lips and added: "But in that case, everything will not be able to recover from its original state. .”
Leonard Yet, he understood what he meant, the American didn't seem to mind An Rusong's threat. He smiled and was about to say something, but An Rusong continued, "So, Mr. Leonard, I'm very good now." I feel irritated, I don’t have the time to listen to your position of justice, nor do I have the time to understand the strategic layout of the NSA. I hope we can discuss the most critical issues openly, simply and directly, OK? ”
He said this At the time, the tone was almost He was irritable, but after listening to it, Leonard not only did not get angry, but the smile on his face became stronger. He stared at An Rusong for a while, suddenly picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "An, don't be irritable, Be patient, come on, let's have a drink first, believe me, the beer here will definitely make you feel happy physically and mentally."
An Rusong faced his gaze and looked at him for a few seconds Finally, he shook his head and laughed, and he took the wine glass helplessly and took a sip of beer.
"You are right, An, we are not just collaborators, but also friends, so we should speak openly and honestly," Leonard said in a rather pleasant tone. "Then, I Let’s talk openly about the best way to solve such trouble. “
He put the beer glass on the table, pointed to the file folder in front of An Rusong again, and said, “You just now It is mentioned that when facing this trouble, you made two preparations. Among them, your second choice is to expose everything you know, and then leave South Korea immediately and choose a place to avoid the limelight." >
An Rusong didn't say anything, waiting for the other party to continue talking. "Frankly speaking, the second option you mentioned is exactly what I want you to do," Leonard leaned his right elbow on the table, leaning forward with his upper body. He leaned closer to An Rusong and said, "Yes, let the situation you know is released through the pop-up news of NGN, so that the whole of South Korea will be. No, I mean, let the whole world understand this scandal, this evil deed .”
After a brief tone, he continued, "An, you are right. These guys who threaten you do enjoy judicial immunity as soldiers, but this so-called judicial immunity , saying that they are not held accountable by judicial responsibility in South Korea does not mean that they can escape sanctions from US law."
He took the cigar to his mouth and took a hard sniffle, Leonard sniffed the smoke that was scattered in front of his face, and finally said, "Take a step back and say that once this scandal is exposed, at least these guys will not be The way to continue staying in South Korea, they have to leave here and go back to the United States, right? By that time, your troubles will naturally disappear. "
"You are kidding, Leonard, An Rusong said with a twitching corner of his lips. "No, everything I said is serious," Leonard said in a sure tone. "But in my opinion, you are just kidding," An Rusong stared at him and said, "You are either kidding me or kidding my IQ."
Leonard spread his hands, but the cigar butt in his hand hit the outer wall of the beer glass, and a few sparks exploded, which scared him.
"An, let's say that, at least one thing you need to understand is that the United States' army is not a monolithic. Whether it is the Pentagon or the Longshan District, there are different interest groups and factions," cleaned up the shaking ashes. Leonard said, "In a few months, Sharp should leave South Korea and be transferred to China. The candidate for him to succeed has been confirmed. If nothing unexpected happens, General James Thurman will arrive in June. Ren."
An Rusong certainly knew something about such news. He not only got news from Jenny, but also heard similar rumors from Bai Jinjun. "You mean, Thurman and Sharp are in a different position?" An Rusong asked after taking a breath of cigarette. "It's not just Sharp, but his two exes, Bell and Borat, who all stand differently from Thurman," Leonard said.
Lion Borat, Powell Bell, was the former two commanders of the US military in South Korea.
“I don’t want to comment too much on Sharp’s position and viewpoint on military issues, but it’s obvious that it was during their tenure in South Korea that the situation on the peninsula was out of control of the United States,” Leonard said. Acknowledge that the Middle East and Afghanistan are indeed the focus areas that the United States must pay more attention to in the process of global counter-terrorism, but maintaining the United States' strategic position in Northeast Asia is also a crucial matter."
< br>What he said was very general and far from being detailed, but An Rusong understood the meaning behind the other party's words.
According to Leonard, there are obviously several different factions and groups in the US military system. Among them, several previous commanders of the US military in South Korea, including Sharp, should have all Adhering to the key points of the United States' military strategy, it should be placed in the Middle East and Afghanistan.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
Don't underestimate this position and view. You should know that behind this position and view, there is support from the Israeli Jewish group, because the United States' actions in the Middle East and Afghanistan are completely in line with Israel's interests.
It is undeniable that the United States is the only superpower in the world today, but it is impossible to say that its financial resources are infinite. Therefore, the more the United States invests in the Middle East and Afghanistan, the more it can invest in other regions. The fewer resources will be, which naturally includes Northeast Asia.
Recalling carefully, in the past few years, there has been a voice in the United States: demanding to reduce military aid to South Korea and hand over South Korea's national defense responsibilities to the South Korean army as much as possible. The current US military stationed in South Korea Commander Sharp is a supporter of this view. The South Korean troops in the 2nd Division of the US Army stationed in South Korea were established during Bell's tenure as commander of the US Army stationed in South Korea, and its purpose is self-evident.
According to Leonard, the new commander of the US military in South Korea, Thurman, who is about to take office, has a different position from Sharp and others. So there is no need to ask, this guy should be the type of the United States that attaches importance to the strategic value of the Korean Peninsula. Soldier, this person who replaced Sharp to work in South Korea, obviously also reflects to a certain extent the change in the Pentagon's position on external issues.
Think about it, since 2001, the United States has implemented a "global counter-terrorism" strategy and has devoted almost all its energy to dealing with Iraq and Afghanistan. Its military strategy in Northeast Asia is almost In a state of contraction. It was also in the past few years that China, which was originally targeted, breathed a sigh of relief and grew rapidly.
Now, whether in Iraq or Afghanistan, the United States is deeply trapped. Not only can it not be profitable, but it also causes a lot of trouble. Most importantly, it is dominating the United States' "global world" Bush, who is Counter-terrorism, is about to end his second term.
Under such circumstances, it becomes inevitable for the United States to adjust its foreign strategy.
Recalling the memories of the previous life, An Rusong remembers it very clearly. In the world of his previous life, with Bush Jr. leaving office, the newly appointed Obama immediately proposed a strategy to return to the Asia-Pacific. This reality seems to be just right Leonard's words were confirmed.
