Chapter 855 (2/2)

But the president asked, and he couldn't answer nothing. At this time, it is a dilemma. Perhaps silence is the best choice.

When I saw William Casey, the CIA director who frightened the enemy, I stood there like a little daughter-in-law. Reagan felt funny and knew the other party's difficulties.

Reagan said with a smile, ”it's just the two of us here. Don't make any restrictions. Everything we do is for the service of the United States, not for personal interests. ”

If so, how many people can really do it. Seeing that William Casey still didn't speak, Reagan said impatiently, ”you are the director of the CIA. You have some questions to advise the president. I asked you to come here to share my worries, not to stand where you are. ”

”Any bodyguard can do this job well. You don't need the director of the CIA as a guard at all.”

Knowing that he could not escape, William Casey could only harden his head and say, ”Admiral Turner's position is too high. It's hard to arrange at the moment. The job can't be lower than the previous position; Otherwise, he wouldn't do it. But higher positions than before are the core leaders of the military. ”

”To satisfy the other party, only two positions are suitable. Commander in chief of the U.S. Navy, or commander in chief of NATO's European allied command. Or higher, the chief of staff can only contact the chairman of the meeting, so you will certainly not agree. ”

When talking about the commander-in-chief of NATO's European allies, Reagan's eyes lit up; In his mind, Admiral Turner's appointment to this post may have unexpected results.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is an international organization established by European and North American countries to achieve defense cooperation.

NATO has a large number of nuclear weapons and conventional forces and is an important military force in the West. This is the symbol of the realization of strategic alliance in the Western military camp after World War II, the extension and development of the Marshall Plan in the military field, enabling the United States to control the EU defense system led by Germany and France, and the symbol of the realization of the leadership of the United States as a superpower.

The highest decision-making body of NATO is the NATO Council. The Council is composed of heads of state and senior government, foreign ministers and defense ministers of Member States. Headquartered in Brussels, the capital of Belgium.

NATO was founded because two major powers, the United States and the Soviet Union, competed in science and technology, armaments, diplomacy and outer space in order to seize world hegemony. At the same time, the two great powers also fought against each other through some local wars. NATO can be said to be a continuation of the Marshall Plan, the European recovery plan implemented by the United States after World War II. In order to control Western Europe in the military field, in April 1949, the United States signed the North Atlantic Treaty in Washington with Canada and 11 countries in Western Europe, such as Britain, France, Portugal and Italy. In August of the same year, NATO was officially established after all countries completed the ratification procedures. The Warsaw Treaty Organization was established in May 1955. One of the triggers for its establishment was that West Germany (Federal Germany) joined NATO in May 1955. More than ten days later, most European Socialists, including the Soviet Union, signed the Warsaw Convention in Warsaw, the capital of Poland.

So far, with the establishment of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization led by the United States and the Warsaw Treaty Organization led by the Soviet Union, the military confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union officially began in the form of the cold war.

Turner's qualifications and prestige are sufficient for the post of commander-in-chief of NATO's European allies, and can also play a deterrent role.

At this time, the Soviet Union still occupied a strong position in the competition between the United States and the Soviet Union. Now let a Navy Admiral with the status of CIA be the commander-in-chief, how would the Soviets feel. Before we find out the American intention, we certainly dare not act rashly.

The more Reagan thought about it, the more he felt that the plan was feasible; And this position, Turner certainly has no objection, will take office.

After that, Admiral Turner will certainly follow Reagan's lead; Directly tell the other party not to participate in similar TV programs. This little thing is not promised immediately.

Reagan seemed to have made some kind of decision and said with a smile: ”director texi, General Bernard Rogers, commander in chief of NATO's European allies, has been in office for four years. It seems that it's time to transfer.”

Knowing that the president had made a decision, William Casey was not saying anything. I felt that admiral Turner's life was actually very good. The last TV program was not all bad. With this in mind, William Casey left the White House.
