Chapter 915 (1/2)
Washington, in the president's office.
Because of George Marshall's speech, the atmosphere was a little tense.
Marshall, who served as the army chief of staff for many years, had a firm foothold in both the government and the military headquarters.
He is not afraid of Hoover, which does not mean that other people dare to offend each other easily.
After all, not everyone dares to say to Hoover, ”if you let me know that any news about me has come from you,
I guarantee that the best sniper in the army will pass a bullet through your head.”
This dialogue took place after a presidential meeting and became a ”secret” in the Washington office
”Gentlemen, let's say something useful.” If the Secretary of state digs the subject and continues to hold on, I'm afraid the two will have a fight.
”First of all, I want to remind you that it is everyone's responsibility to protect American citizens.” The Secretary of state looked at everyone with Zhuang Su's face.
The scene fell into silence again, but the atmosphere was no longer tense, but more solemn and solemn.
No matter what they think, defending America is protecting their own interests, which has never changed from beginning to end.
What's more, the weight of telecommunications from think tanks is not as light as they say.
At present, Mobil's domestic market share is 45%, which does not include supply to the government.
The complex strength of the consortium behind it is not only a problem of Mobil's brand.
Rockefeller can be called ”oil king”, even if forced to split up.
How much of its private ownership of other oil giants is unknown to anyone.
What?
Those companies have nothing to do with him?
Only those who are naive enough to ”drop the pie in the sky” really think so.
”That's it, then.” Roosevelt said, with his hand to move the direction bar, control the wheelchair to the door.
”Finally, I don't have to worry about being refused to answer my phone. Ha ha...” Roosevelt, accompanied by the black Butler, left the rest of the crowd looking at each other.
What the president told them to leave?
The taste of this can only depend on the taste of everyone present. I believe everyone will have different feelings.
I got a call from Washington at noon the next day.
However, Li Zitao had been informed before that it was general Nimitz, commander of the Pacific theater, who told him.
Last night, he received orders from Washington to escort merchant ships passing through the US controlled waters.
Special emphasis is also placed on the protection of strategic materials.
”Thank you very much for calling, general Nimitz... You should come to the island if you have time. There are the most delicious seafood and the best white wine.”
Nimitz did not waver when he heard of seafood. As a navy who deals with the sea all day, he has never eaten any seafood.
However, the white wine made him greedy and couldn't help swallowing and saying, ”I think the scene will be very happy.”
”Of course, you are always welcome.” He exchanged greetings for a while and told him that he would send the new liquor to the Pearl Harbor base.
Nimitz reluctantly returned to normal, laughing and hanging up the phone.
”Are all soldiers addicted to alcohol?” Looking at Hepburn a little weeping and laughing, his impression of Nimitz is getting better and better.
Good wine and not bad wine people, most of them are straightforward, forthright.
In today's society where the American social system is changing and everything is money oriented, there are fewer and fewer such people.
