White House.
President Carter is very impatient. He is walking back and forth in the conference room. Since the first day as President, he has not been so impatient.
On this matter, President Carter simply disagrees. Don't they know how much chain reaction and how serious conflicts it will cause if armed forces are deployed to rescue the hostages
They actually dispatched a whole transport plane's personnel, hundreds of people, to the capital of the bs country, which would bring themselves so much trouble!
However, Carter still has no choice. When these personnel have gone to the BS country, he cannot hold back. As the president of the United States, he must protect the safety of the American people and the military. He must not hold back.
Therefore, he can only give orders to let the army fully assist.
"If they can come back, they will all go to a military court!" Carter couldn't stand his temper and said to his men.
Putting me in a military court and sentenced them to years of imprisonment is also difficult to understand the anger. After all, they want to influence the political trend of the country, which is simply terrible.
As the president of the United States, as the leader of all military forces in the United States, he cannot tolerate such things under his nose.
What to be oneself? Is it air
"They are a veteran organization of the Vietnam War." Camelot on the side couldn't help but said: "They are no longer soldiers. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to use a military court to try them?"
"Don't think I don't know." Carter continued to be angry: "They were soldiers a few hours ago. As long as their retirement process is not completed, they will still be soldiers. The military dare to do such things behind my back. Is the army going to rebel?"
Carter was very angry.
The military of any country may rebel and may rebel, but the United States is different.
The history of the United States is not long, only a few hundred years. Since the establishment of the United States, freedom and democracy have been their creed. The military will never interfere in politics. This is also an iron law.
For example, the command of the army is the president’s, and lower-level commanders must not disobey the president’s orders. At the same time, the president is elected in a national election. After the president is handed over, the army will listen to the new president. Anything that influences the election is just to provide protection.
This absolutely prevents the unrest in the army.
But now that such a bad precedent has been opened, he will never let it go.
"Even if they have retired, stealing military aircraft is a serious crime, prosecute them!" Carter continued.
Carter's anger is multifaceted. At the same time, only by expressing his anger can he vent his dissatisfaction and calm his mood. He is now confused.
Time is still passing by little by little.
"The transport plane has landed in the capital of Bs."
"The Vietnam War veterans have been dispatched."
"They returned to the transport plane."
"Take off, take off!"
Piece by piece of news came slowly, and every time he heard a piece of news, Carter's heart had to entangle so suddenly, because behind, there were many dangers waiting for them.
"Come back, they have flown over Turkey!"
When he heard the news, Carter felt a big rock on his chest, crashing to the ground.
came back
It's so simple, come back
This group of so-called Vietnam War veterans actually successfully rescued the hostages
At this time, Carter's inner change was quite intense. He didn't expect that this action would be successful. Just now, he was full of ideas about what to do if the action failed.
The number of hostages will soar further, and it will be even more troublesome to rescue them. Moreover, once the people are accidentally injured there and dissatisfaction is aroused by the other side, they may be killed by these Vietnam War veterans.
At that time, domestic public opinion will definitely condemn the Bs country one-sidedly. At that time, even if Carter doesn't want to do it, it won't work. There will definitely be war.
Carter was thinking about all kinds of terrible situations. He just didn't think about it. What if it succeeded
From this point of view, Carter is an out-and-out pessimist. In this matter, he did not think that the army would succeed, or that in this incident, he did not even think about using the army.
Can you just sit down and discuss things that can be resolved through negotiation? Why do you want to do it
Carter has never thought of using the army, nor has he thought of succeeding, has he succeeded now
Carter's brain was still in a blank, and at this time, Camelot was already rejoicing: "Success, I know they will succeed, God bless, our hostages are finally safe!"
Camelot was very pleased.
You know, the army has been carrying infamy for many years. The Vietnam War has made the army's reputation completely stinky. The people don't blame the high level of the White House who made the war decision, but point the finger at the army, making the army unable to raise its head.
Later, I finally survived the Vietnam War, came out of Hokkaido, and once again lost the land. Although it was caused by the president's pacifist spirit, in the eyes of the people, it was the army's ineffectiveness.
And this time, finally, the army can exhale.
The army planned a perfect rescue operation and completed this feat. The army armed with taxpayers' money is to rescue taxpayers at a critical time!
"Success? It succeeded?" Carter murmured, but he still didn't believe it.
"President, this is a good opportunity!" Warren on the side was also extremely excited: "President, at this time, you should give a televised speech to convey this good news to the people of the whole country. We have dispatched the army. , Our hostages were finally rescued. This news will definitely inspire the whole country and will also make your approval rate soar."
Carter knew that his approval rate was already very low. Now, since the rescue was successful, he should definitely take advantage of this opportunity.
Just now, I was still cursing the so-called Vietnam War veterans in this attack to send them to a military court. In a blink of an eye, everyone ignored the fact that these people had retired, and they all acted for the army by default.
If it is a veteran of the Vietnam War and a non-governmental organization, where will the face of the U.S. government rest? What could not be resolved by the President of the United States was resolved by a group of Vietnam War veterans
"Yes, that's it. I want to express this good news to the people of the whole country. All the people who went out this time are all American heroes. I want to hold a grand welcome banquet for them at the White House. I want to let the whole country , The whole world knows their names!" Carter said: "Prepare me a televised speech immediately."
