8 tacit approval of air strikes

James said without hesitation: "Yes, Mr. Charlie personally promised that he is willing to accept the supervision of the military committee after receiving attention, and then he will properly open the secondary patented technology to the market, but the top technology only serves our national defense, I believe him, because this matter cannot be faked." ”

"Okay, fourth question, what else did you do besides authorizing the right to use that valley and helping with supplies?"

"Nope."

"The fifth question, Hayne, what is going on between New Rome and Pinkerton, I want to repeat it from your point of view."

"This is Thomas Edison's bullying of Mr. Tesla, I believe Mr. President has read the relevant reports, and the follow-up situation is that Thomas Edison hired Pinkerton private police to find trouble with New Rome, trying to find what handle of the New Romans, so as to complete his whitewashing of himself, this is all I know."

James sneered when he said this: "The United States Patent Office actually gave away the radio patent to others, and today, a scientific research base plan that should have been known only to the members of the Military Council has been put forward for public discussion. ”

He stood up and said sharply, "Gentlemen, it seems that our country should not have any secrets, both externally and internally. Each of us should show our bottoms to each other's checks, and may I ask where the sources of the people who slandered me come from! If it was Thomas Edison, it would be terrible, where did that person get the news? Or did the Pinkerton Private Police dare to investigate the movements of the Third Division! ”

That's a cruel statement.

Robert, the head of the naval side of the Military Council, who was staring at him, said angrily: "I'm just talking about things. ”

Now that you have spoken, James says, "I confessed my underwear, so take them out and throw them on the table, I need to know where you come from!" ”

"I have to protect...

"You fart! Detractors are not entitled to this protection unless you have a shady relationship! ”

James was not an impulsive person.

He had planned before he came.

So after he finished yelling, he suddenly turned around and went outside the door, and when everyone was confused, he took the materials from the assistant's hand and returned to the room again, and then handed the materials to the president and everyone.

"Let's take a look. This is the report of Lieutenant Selde of Army Aviation on his flight experience and his first-hand view of what role aircraft can play in the war. This is an unpublished, unpublished conclusion of the aircraft's bombing tests. ”

There was an immediate sound of turning pages in the room, and James reminded some people by the way: "If this news can still leak out, we will simply hang the rice flag in the White House again." ”

Roosevelt shook his head speechlessly, and then he was quickly drawn to the contents of Said's report.

After they finished reading, James said: "The latest news is that a new gadget called an aviation machine gun has been installed on the plane, which can suppress the ground forces from a distance of a thousand meters, and the specific report is still on the way, and there is only a telegraph at the moment." ”

"Can you suppress the enemy with fire from a distance of a thousand meters?" Roosevelt said in surprise.

"Not only that, Ford just dismantled a production line to go to T-Valley, and it should be there today. With enough resources, T Valley can produce that twin helix aircraft at a rate of one in three days. Based on the first-hand evaluation report, I hereby suggest that His Excellency the President seize the time to authorize the formation of an Army Aviation delegation led by the White House to immediately conduct a special project investigation for this project! ”

James bombed one after another today, and he didn't forget to scare people.

"You know, the actions of the Third Division can be seen by the Pinkerton Private Police, and then they will be thrown here. It's horrible, and we have to take care of our crotch. He hid the HNA plan in a strange way, and then said to Robert: "But don't get involved in the navy, because it's none of your business." ”

He is scolding Robert, and he is going to make his attitude public.

I took out the actual product, calmly asked for the project assessment, I am contributing to the country, what are you doing?

You're being egged on by a businessman to sabotage such a great cause.

Robert looked at the slap report in his hand and could only turn a deaf ear to his words.

And after listening to James's suggestion, the president simply said: "Let's raise your hands and vote." ”

Of the twelve people in the room, eight agreed to the project assessment.

The assessment of PTR's T-Valley Aviation Program was approved by the President.

Roosevelt immediately decided to send a six-man expedition led by James to T-Valley three days later to verify the usefulness of this military weapon, and authorized the Third Division to cooperate with the test exercises.

James immediately asked the White House staff to help send a telegram to T Valley to inform him of this.

This is an opportunity he gave Han Huaiyi.

He believed Charlie could catch it.

Sure enough, the other end quickly replied with a telegram back, which read:

The Pinkerton Private Police are conducting an illegal investigation of T-Valley with the intent of attacking the security services of the New Rome Carnival Hotel, and we suspect that they have been hired by a business group or even a foreign power, and in order to protect the trade secrets of the PTR and the Army Airlines and the defense of the United States, I ask Mr. President for permission to use aircraft to clear the enemy of the secrets.

James did not make the telegram public, he silently handed it to Roosevelt, who had supported him before, and whispered, "That's a good idea." ”

Roosevelt glanced at him and silently folded the telegram.

Everyone in the room was looking at them, wondering what the idea was, and when James turned around and said coldly: "T Valley agreed, and I emphasize once again that the Third Division of the Army will definitely not participate in those special!" If anyone finds evidence of their involvement, I will resign immediately! ”

Roosevelt didn't say a word about it, because he really didn't know what to say.

Did he say "yes"? That's not good.

Did he say "no"? That's not right either.

If he made Charlie's request public, then he would offend James, which was completely unnecessary.

Anyway, Roosevelt was also annoyed now.

He was annoyed that Pinkerton's private police actually investigated the Third Division, and they were able to poke the news in front of him in a grand manner.

As a normal person, he has a judgment of good and evil, and it is not only the people who are affected by media reports, but also him.

Thomas vs Tesla.

Emotionally, he was very disgusted by the former's despicable behavior.

In that case, he simply kept silent.

As for how James will explain to Charlie of the New Rome PTR, he doesn't care, he only looks at the result.

If it turns out well, he will admit that he authorized it, and if it turns out bad, he will tear the telegram out of the toilet and flush it, that's all!
