Chapter 313 Choice
The macroscopic things seem to be far away from the lives of ordinary people. Most people don’t care about them and will not pay special attention to them. But most of the time, macroscopic things are actually from ordinary people. Life is closely related because all aspects of people's lives are directly guided by macro policies.
For people like An Rusong who have a certain social status and hold a lot of wealth in their hands, their lives will undoubtedly be more and more direct due to the macro impact.
It is like the problem of the United States' strategic layout in Northeast Asia. On the surface, it seems to be very far away from the lives of ordinary Koreans and is almost not close to each other, but for An Ru, Song said that because he had cooperation with the NSA and was also closely related to the big figures in politics, this issue was directly related to his life.
Now, the information revealed by Leonard is that the Pentagon is adjusting its international military strategy. The focus of its attention is shifting from the Middle East and Afghanistan to Northeast Asia. Therefore, it advocates strengthening the United States Thurman, who exists in Northeast Asia in military affairs, replaced Sharp and became the next commander of the US military stationed in South Korea.
From this point of view, since Thurman can replace Sharp, is it that behind it that Li Minbo, who represents the conservative, can replace the presidential candidate elected by the progressives, also comes from Washington. What about the intervention? An Rusong was not sure if there was such a factor, but he didn't dare to deny it.
Look at Leonard sitting opposite him. As an officer at the Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Base, he was transferred to the NSA at this time and served as the main person in charge of East Asian affairs. This appointment Behind this, is it also related to this Pentagon’s military strategic transformation? "So, what about your position?" In an instant, too many thoughts flashed through his mind. An Rusong looked at Leonard opposite him, and asked.
Leonard didn't say anything, he just spread his hands with a smile.
Okay, An Rusong actually just asked this question subconsciously, and he didn't expect to get the answer from the other party. After all, what is the answer? He just needs to look at Leonard's previous performance. .
Opening his mouth, An Rusong wanted to ask something, but at this moment, the waiter brought another tray.
Inside the tray is a very delicate fruit plate. The waiter puts the fruit plate on the table and whispers: "Sir, the fruit plate given by the lady next to the bar."
He said this to An Rusong, and after he finished speaking, he pointed in the direction of the bar.
Looking in the direction of the other person's finger, I saw a woman dressed in long hair sitting next to the bar. When I saw An Rusong's eyes reaching, the woman raised her head towards him. Raise the wine glass in your hand.
Because of the distance and light, An Rusong couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly, but he felt that this woman should be very young because the other person has a good figure and his exquisite outfit is obvious It belongs to young people.
An Rusong met her in a bar by a woman in the form of a fruit plate. This was the first time An Rusong met her. If she had put it in normal times, he would have to see what the woman looked like, but at this time today, But I didn't feel at all. "Oh!" Leonard also turned his head and looked at the woman, then smiled, "An, it seems that there is a romantic encounter waiting for you."
An Ru Song smiled bitterly, then waved to the woman in front of the bar, and then explained a few words to the waiter, mainly ordering a glass of wine suitable for the woman, and taking all the gifts back.
When the waiter left, he had a look on his face and said to Leonard in a serious tone: "Leonard, now, just consider it to me that I have chosen the same position as you. , So, what should I do next? "
"It's very simple, just like I said, use NGN's news pop-up window to publish the news you have," Leonard De looked at the woman in front of the bar again, then turned back and said, "As for what happened next, you don't have to worry about it. You can choose to leave South Korea for a while. Well, this time doesn't take too long, at most two. Zhou, believe me, those who cause trouble for you will be sent back to the United States soon.”
An Rusong was silent for a while and said, "I am willing to believe in you, Leonard, but you should understand that mutual trust needs to be established through long-term cooperation, and it has not been a long time for us to cooperate. , please tell me how I need to trust you? "
"It's very simple," Leonard leaned forward again and said, "Admiral Thurman will be the day after tomorrow. Arriving in Seoul, An, if you are willing to accept my advice, I can arrange for you to meet with Admiral Thurman."
An Rusong was surprised. He actually had a question that he had not raised just now. That is Thurman's inauguration time, which should be until June, and it is not yet March. In other words, according to the public news from the United States, Thurman should not be officially released after three months. He succeeded Sharp as commander of the US military in South Korea. Leonard asked him to announce the news of drug trafficking in the US military stationed in South Korea. It was obviously in the past two days. In this way, how could Leonard solve all the problems in just two weeks?
Now, Leonard said that General Thurman will arrive in Seoul the day after tomorrow. So, is Thurman coming to Seoul at this time for another purpose, or is it to take office in advance?
Of course, despite having such a question in his heart, An Rusong did not ask this question. He could be 100% sure. Even if he asked this question, Leonard would definitely not answer it, because it was simply Not what he should ask.
After a period of silence, An Rusong said, "Okay, even if I believe what you say and accept your suggestions, the news I have in my hands is not proof. , even if such news is published, it may not be effective, right? "
After a pause, he added: "On the contrary, it may only bring unnecessary things to me and NGN company. Trouble."
"Ann," Leonard smiled, "Since we are collaborators on the same standpoint, why are you still worried about not having tangible evidence?" Afterwards, he reached out and clicked on the file folder on the table, saying, "I can provide you with any news and evidence you need. Of course, as for how to tell a story, it's your business. .”
An Rusong stared at him for two seconds, shook his head and smiled, then reached out and said, "Then, arrange for me to meet General Thurman as soon as possible."
"Haha," Leonard held his hand and said, "Believe me, An, the choice you made tonight is definitely wise, and time will prove it."
An Rusong didn't say anything, he He reached out and picked up the beer glass in front of him.
The United States of America is obviously not as united as it shows. Of course, there is no truly united country in this world, and there is no truly united political circle, even if it is the only one in the world. A superpower, being big and beautiful is not immune to vulgarity.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
In fact, since she was reborn into this world, especially after she got rid of her identity at the bottom of society, An Rusong has been choosing to take sides. Politically, he stood on the conservative side, and within the conservative side, he chose to stand on the side of Li Minbo. Now, he has made another choice and chose to stand on the side of Leonard. >
In fact, if there is really a choice, An Rusong definitely hopes not to choose either party, because the fence-riding party can reap the best benefits, but he also knows that on many issues, he does not have fence-riding at all. The opportunity, even if he chose to ride a fence, would not be able to get to where he is today.
Luckily, however, as a rebirth, An Rusong can make the most correct decision when choosing a side station based on his memories in his previous life, just like when facing Leonard, he The choice is also based on memories of previous lives.
Now, senior U.S. military officials like Admiral Thurman are pushing to shift their military strategic focus to Northeast Asia, while in the White House, Bush, as president, is still the "global counter-terrorism" strategy. Struggle supporters, in other words, are still those who really dominate the core political leadership of the United States.
But according to the historical trajectory of his previous life, less than a year later, after Bush Jr. leaves office and Obama takes office as president, the White House's global strategy will take a sharp turn, the so-called return to the Asia-Pacific strategy, in fact, It is indeed centered on Northeast Asia. At that time, people like General Thurman will become the mainstream of the US military.
An Rusong's choice to take the lead at this time will definitely be beneficial to his future development.
Think about it, if Leonard wants to win him over, he has to rely on him to provoke the US military's opportunity to deal with drugs, which is equivalent to coercive and tempting him to choose his position in a semi-compulsive way. But if Leonard would win over him after a year later, after the Americans fully adjusted their strategic positioning, would Leonard win over him? At that time, people would not necessarily win over him.
In addition, what Leonard asked him to do now actually gave An Rusong the opportunity to show his saints in front of him. Disclosure of scandals such as drug trafficking in US troops stationed in South Korea is not something ordinary newspapers and TV stations dare to do of. NGN's news pop-up window was the first to expose the scandal, and at the same time criticized the US military stationed in South Korea. Not to mention anything else, at least NGN software can still take this opportunity to become famous.
Well, that's right, this opportunity must be made good use of. An Rusong feels that this news cannot be published so easily. He must plan it well and maximize its impact.
