Volume 12 Prelude to the Great War Chapter 27 Shields
The arrangement of President Juice Thousand. As a veteran of the Marine Corps for several years, since the day he swore to defend the United States in front of the flag, Dudgway has not disobeyed the president's orders, nor will he disobey the president's orders.
As he left the White House, Dudgway's steps were a bit heavy.
A few days ago, the day before he flew to Cape Town to meet Pei, Mr. Duchway had realized. The White House and the State Department are hatching a huge conspiracy. At the time, what made Dudgway suspicious was Mrs. Loeblin's overly warm and friendly attitude. Although it has long been rumored that it is not Landers, who lives in the White House, who dominates the United States, but Mrs. Loeblin, who handles daily government affairs in the State Department. But Dudgway has every reason to believe that, no matter how powerful Mrs. Loebling may be, as secretary of state in the Republican federal government, she should not be so close to the former Democratic administration's secretary of defense and security adviser, regardless of the president's feelings.

In fact. Rumors about Mrs. Loebling convinced many Americans.
As early as the election of previous years, many voters who supported the Republican Party believed that if it was not an old politician who was already many years old, but Mrs. Loeblin, who was in the Senate. The Republican Party's chances of winning the election should be on the right side, not a sure loser.
Exactly, when it comes to the yo-year general election. Mrs. Loeblin was the most vocal among the Republican candidates. Many loyal Republican voters believe that Mrs. Loeblin will become the first female president in U.S. history if she is willing to accept the party's election nomination. There are even a lot of people who think. As long as she is elected president, because of her iconic significance, even if she does not achieve any political achievements, her portrait will appear on Capitol Hill. In the face of such high demand, Mrs. Loebling unexpectedly abandoned the candidacy and announced early to join Landes's campaign. Although the Republican Party claimed at the time that Mrs. Loeblin's move was to maintain party unity and avoid election disagreements. Let the Republican Party lose the election because of a split when it is sure enough to win the election; Although many commentators at the time thought. The Republican Party's traditional beliefs became the biggest obstacle for Mrs. Loebling to enter the White House, because the Republican Party has never recognized women and black politicians; Although many supporters of Mrs. Loeblin believe that she withdrew from the election so early. It has to do with her family being in trouble because her son is under investigation by the FBI for an alleged corporate fraud case; But people like Mr. Dudgway who know the inside story know that Mrs. Loeblin's willingness to give up the opportunity to enter the White House has a lot to do with her political choices, or her judgment of the future.
There is no suspense that the Republicans will win the election, the question is. There is more suspense after the election.
In a sense, one of the key factors in Dudgway's departure from the Democratic government as an independent politician is that his expectations for the future of the United States are not ideal. If Mrs. Loebling had enough political potential, she would not be blindly optimistic, and it would not be difficult to see that the situation of the United States in the "post-Democratic era" is not ideal, and even if the Republican Party can easily come to power, it will face many threats and challenges. In other words, unless one has the talents of the great presidents of history, anyone who lives in the White House at this time is tantamount to political suicide. That's why Randers was able to win the Republican Party's internal race. In other words. Wise politicians like Mrs. Loebling chose to avoid it.
Knowing this, it is not difficult to understand why Madame Lobenlin accepted Landes's invitation.
Comparatively speaking, the Secretary of State is a position with power but little responsibility. There is no shortage of powerful secretaries of state in the history of the United States, such as Kissinger in the Nixon era, Albright in the Clinton era, and Rice in the George W. Bush era, all of whom have influence and power comparable to that of presidents. The most important thing is the latter, that is, the secretary of state is not the final determinant of policy, but in the American political system, he is more like the president's number one military adviser, so the secretary of state is often not responsible for what the US authorities do.
From this, it is not difficult to see that Mrs. Loebling made a very smart choice.
Dudgway even had reason to believe that Mrs. Loeblin must have reached some sort of secret agreement with Landers to secure her appointment as Secretary of State before she abandoned the party's party race.
As a powerful secretary of state, Mrs. Loeblin could not only pursue her policies and lead America as she wished, but she also had nothing to worry about, because all the responsibility rested with Landes. What's more, Landes's talent was not strong enough to lead the United States, so he could not have been more serious with Mrs. Loebling in specific policies. In this way, even if Randers was very dissatisfied with Madame Loebling's usurpation of power, he could only be dissatisfied.
Of course, Dudgway never underestimated Madame Loeblin's abilities.
From the moment he accepted Landes' appointment, Dudgway knew that it was not Landers who should be wary of the most, but Mrs. Loeblin. When he learned from Mrs. Loebling that the United States authorities were actively planning a war in the Middle East, the first thing that came to mind was a trap, a trap against him.
Although Mrs. Loebling is very thorough, Dudgway is not a Landes, and will not be easily deceived by others. Circle reading the most chopped chapters, choose the tear book, throw the concave and complete
According to Mrs. Loblin, the situation in the Middle East is already extremely unfavorable for the United States. Although the Republic has not taken substantive action for the time being, and it is unlikely that a war in the Middle East will break out, the Republic has increased its investment in the Central Region, and has not only actively carried out national defense modernization in Syria. Huai secretly made a secret deal with Iran, and to the extent that he reached a secret agreement with the Iranian reformers. Based on various indications, as well as information provided by intelligence services, the US authorities have reason to fear that in the foreseeable future, for example, within the year, the Islamic countries of Syria, Iran, Iraq, and even Egypt, which are actively supported by the Republic, will change the situation in the Middle East through war. In view of this possibility, the State Department not only commissioned the RAND Corporation, the International Institute for Strategic Studies, and the North Atlantic Defense Service to conduct an analysis by such non-governmental think tanks as well-known international situation analysts from the United States and Britain, as well as consulting firms set up by strategic experts, but also asked the Joint Chiefs of Staff under the Department of Defense to conduct a war game and come to the conclusion that when the adversary is ready to take the initiative to start a war, the possibility of the United States winning will not be too high, and the possibility of Israel's survival will not be too vague. On the basis of these conclusions, the US authorities have both reason and need to act proactively.
The question is, Dugway is America's best strategist, will he easily believe what others say?
When Mrs. Loebling arranged for him to meet with Pei Chengyi in Tripton, Dudgway first considered the secretary of state's motives for doing so.
In a sense, the Republican government is in this pound. When it was time to plan the Middle East War, the fundamental reason was not that he was worried that he would lose the war that had not yet exploded after the end of the year, because it was uncertain who would be in power after the end of the year. In Dugway's view, the main reason is that Westwood and Blandino, two Democratic presidents, are too "weak." "During the year-long administration of the Democratic Party, it was not involved in large-scale wars. There are also few ambitious military plans. If President Frederick's second term was not involved in a large-scale war, the United States has not been at war for many years. Throughout American history. It is almost unthinkable that there will be no war in a blade-long period of time. You know, in the history of the United States in its less than a year, it was involved in an average of one war every year, and on average one large-scale war every year.
To put it bluntly, the Republican Party just wants to fight, or the interest groups that support the Republican Party want to fight. The address of this site has been changed to summer: Liaolian Cave Peng Chat Embedded, please log in to the circle to read
Some people may think. The Great Depression has only recently passed, and the United States is the latest economic recovery among the major economies, so no matter how belligerent the Republican Party is, it should not use military force when its foundation is not stable. In fact, the United States has never had a shaky foundation. Even during the Great Depression, the domestic situation in the United States was not so bad that people could not afford to eat or have a place to live. According to Blandino, the per capita GDP has increased from $10,000 to $10,000. The U.S. share of the world's largest economies, the republics, the European Union, the United States, Russia, and Brazil, has increased from a base to a base. This series of data shows that the U.S. economy has improved during the Brandino administration. More importantly, while war puts pressure on the economy, it can also be an important force in promoting economic development. Far from it, the Republic laid the foundation for the future exhibition of the blade year with a very beautiful war. For US interest groups, if they cannot enter the Indian market, they have to open up a new market, and one that belongs entirely to the United States.
Look at the whole world. The only world that is truly worthy of the United States to use troops is the Middle East.
East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia are the territory of the republics, Central Asia is heavily influenced by Russia, the European continent is under the control of the European Union, North Africa is close to the European Union, Southern Africa is too poor, Latin America is basically under the control of the United States, and Australia is an ally of the United States. In other words, if the United States wants to use its troops abroad and gain enough benefits to lay the foundation for future development, the only choice is the Middle East.
The problem is that the war is always reasonable, and you must be prepared to defeat the battle.
There is no doubt that the era of American hegemony has gone with South Korea. Although the United States has never confronted the Republic head-on since the Korean War, nor has it ever lost a war in which it has participated, the US authorities will never heal their scars and forget the pain. In other words, if the United States is destined to suffer a third defeat, it will have to find someone to bear the blame.
From the standpoint of Dudgway, we have to consider this possibility.
For an army that has never fought in a fast year, it is not a simple and easy thing to defeat an opponent who has fought the battlefield. Even if Dugway was given another chance, he would not be much sure that he would defeat his opponent back then. It is impossible for the Republican authorities not to understand this truth, so they must take precautions in advance. From another perspective, from the Republican Party's standpoint, if we can't win this war, we must also convince the American people that the Republican Party has made efforts and made the greatest efforts, and the defeat has nothing to do with the Republican Party.
It was in this way that Mrs. Loebling asked Du Qiwei to meet Pei Chengyi.
At the time, Duchway knew that this was just the beginning.
Upon his return to China, Mr. Dudgway spent a few days writing a detailed report on his meeting with Mr. Pei in Cape Town.
Shortly after he handed over the report to the White House, he received a call from Landes.
Landes's arrangement did not surprise him, because he had expected it. The President's small role in giving him enough power was confirmed that his judgment of Mrs. Loebling was confirmed that it was this powerful woman who arranged everything, because when Landers mentioned that he should go to Turkey, Mrs. Loeblin personally promised to make him ashamed.
If before the force. Dudgway would have been tempted and willingly acted as a pawn.
The problem is, Dudgway is no longer the Marine Corps commander he was from a blade ago.
This assurance, from Mrs. Loblin, gave Dudgway enough reason to believe that this woman was not Jane.
Of course, it's not that simple.
When mentioning that Duchway should go to Turkey as the supreme commander of the coalition forces, both Landes and Mrs. Loeblin mentioned it, intentionally or unintentionally, which is what brought Duchway back to the decision-making circle. Although Landers and Mrs. Loebling thought that this would arouse Dudgway's fighting spirit, Dudgway thought of it completely differently, because it was not the Republican politicians who gave him ideological work at the beginning, but Branch, whom he trusted very much. That said, as a former Democratic president, Blandino has a very close relationship with the Republican Party, which is now in power. More importantly, being the commander of the coalition forces is clearly a thankless matter, and since this arrangement has been made a long time ago, Blandino has no reason to recommend Dudgway. In other words, it was Blandino who forced Dugway to face a very dangerous future.
It was in this way that when he left the White House, Duchway's heart was heavy and his steps were heavy.
Exploited by the Republican Party. Dudgway had nothing to say, he was not a Republican in the first place, and he had never served the Republican Party. Betrayed by the Democratic Party, Du Qiwei was very puzzled, in any case, he worked for the two Democratic presidents for many years, and there was no merit and hard work.
Although Du Qiwei had long known that there was no faith to speak of in the political arena, he was still disheartened by being betrayed by Blanche.
Until the evening of the same day. Hopping on the special plane to Istanbul, Duchway's mood calmed down a little.
The character of a soldier makes him never bow to the enemy and never shy away from a challenge. What's more, Duchway has long recognized that in the near future, a drastic change will affect the whole world, as well as his country and family. As a veteran who swore an oath to defend American interests at the age of his told, Dudgway will not back down and cannot back down. In his eyes, whether it is an enemy outside the national border or an enemy inside the national border, as long as it threatens the interests of the United States, it is the enemy of the United States and his enemy.
In fact, Duchway had already taken action.
Although in his memoirs. did not admit to hinting at Pei Chengyi in Cape Town, but according to the relevant information about the lifting of the ban by the CIA, many of Pei Chengyi's decisions in the Middle East war were related to Du Qiwei's hints.
Of course, it doesn't matter whether Du Qiwei hinted at Pei Chengyi or not, the important thing is that he has reinstated his military status.
According to Landes's arrangement. Duchway will be a U.S. Marine Corps admiral, and when he retired, he was a lieutenant general in the Marine Corps. In other words, Landers made an exception and promoted him to the rank of commander of the Fourth Army. The Fourth Army deployed in Turkey was a regional joint combat force established by the United States after World War II, that is, in accordance with the treaty of alliance between the United States and Turkey. The commander of the army group is also the commander of the US-Turkish coalition.
Obviously, this coalition commander is not good. Round reading the most chopped chapters, choose the tear book, throw the concave Peng complete
Although in the early days of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. Under the threat of the Red Soviet Union, Turkey had to pin its security on the United States. As a result, significant concessions were made to the United States in the military command structure, including the command of the Turkish Defense Forces by the Allied Forces Command, but after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Turkey managed to reclaim most of its military command, and the Allied Forces Command was in name only. Turkey's approach is very similar to that of South Korea. In other words, if Duchway wants to become a true commander of the coalition forces, he will have to tame Turkey.
In fact, Duchway is not worried about the Turkish authorities.
The Turkish army has long ceased to be the Turkic army that terrifies European countries. As a military force entrenched in the mountains of Asia Minor, the Turkish army struggled to deal with the Kurdish armed groups. Not to mention fighting against the regular armies of other countries. In a sense, the former Soviet Union did not cross the Black Sea, as Tsarist Russia did, had little to do with Turkey's defense forces, and was completely afraid of the strategic threat from the United States.
In the face of the coming war, the Turkish authorities will not keep Duchway out as long as they have a little brain.
It was Israel that really gave Duchway a headache, because according to Landes's arrangement, he had to set up a US-Turkish coalition within a month on the basis of the US-Turkish coalition and the Israeli army, and take command of the unit. Although the history of the Jews is not glamorous, will the Israeli army be at the command of a retired American general who has fought all over the Middle East within the four of them?
Dudgway wasn't much sure, but he had to bite the bullet.
By the time he left Washington, another team sent by Landers had already arrived in Beijing.
In accordance with the secret agreement reached by the parties in Cape Town, in the next few pounds. Within a month, representatives of the Republic and the United States will discuss a solution to the Kurdish problem in Beijing and Washington.
Perhaps, this can be regarded as a diplomatic effort to avoid war.
