Chapter 856 (2/2)
”You have served as the commander of NATO's southern European allied command before, and you are the best candidate to succeed General Bernard Rogers.”
”For the sake of national stability, I hope admiral Turner will not refuse. All for the sake of America, only admiral turner can stabilize the overall situation at this time. ”
”NATO's European allied command has many generals who are your old subordinates. Only your ability and prestige can deter these arrogant and fierce generals.”
Even the well-informed general Turner didn't react for a while. He thought about all kinds of possibilities before. It never occurred to me that Reagan would make him commander-in-chief of NATO's European allies. This is the dream position of American soldiers. If Carter is president, it may be his turn. How can Reagan think of him? Is his ability to reach this level.
After all, Admiral Turner has served as director of the CIA and can't be fooled easily. Even though he has left office, he will still pay attention to world military intelligence. Recently, the European allies have made no big moves, and Admiral Bernard Rogers has always been in good health.
Reagan suddenly transferred him to what he meant. After analysis, he still didn't find a reason to convince himself. Admiral Turner, even if he was smart, would not have thought that it had something to do with yesterday's TV. No one would have thought Reagan would play such a trick. Watching a TV program would decide the choice of commander-in-chief of the European allies.
This is not what the president of the United States will do. At least admiral turner can't believe it.
Turner: ”when does the president want me to take office?”
Reagan had known to use this position for a long time and was not worried about general Turner's rejection. As long as it is a soldier, no one can stand this temptation.
Admiral Turner also had ideas and beliefs. If Carter did not recall him as director of the CIA, he might have been the commander-in-chief of NATO's European allies four years ago. That's the highest achievement of American soldiers, and Turner can't help it.
Reagan: ”it's urgent. I hope admiral Turner will hand over his current work. The sooner he goes, the better.”
At this time, Admiral Turner's position is dispensable. In other words, it is a place for Navy generals to provide for the elderly. There is no work to hand over. This is to show his face and let him go quickly.
Admiral Turner was not a person who didn't know what to do. He immediately said, ”I'll go back in the afternoon and prepare immediately and try to leave Europe the day after tomorrow.”
Reagan: ”Admiral Turner is a model in the army and has such a working attitude; I believe that under your leadership, the European allies of NATO will never give the Soviet Union an opportunity. ”
Turner: ”what I need to pay attention to in Europe in the past, please make it clear to your Excellency the president.”
This is a necessary process before employment and can be regarded as a good impression to the superior.
Reagan was born as an actor and his acting skills were absolutely speechless. So he said, ”it's mainly the Soviet Union. The Soviet leaders are too old and may have physical problems. At this time, USSR defense minister Ustinov was a tough figure, in case of changes in the Soviet Union. The NATO allies must respond as quickly as possible. ”
”You have served as director of the CIA before and have your own judgment on intelligence work. If necessary, it can not pass through the White House, on the condition that the Soviets can not take advantage. ”
Hearing Reagan say that, Admiral Turner was so beautiful. It turned out that Reagan had no other choice because of his resume. He was the most suitable person in the United States.
Senior military general, director of the CIA, served in the European allies; Comprehensive analysis shows that there is no second person in the U.S. military except him, or even in U.S. history.
Although he and Carter are classmates, Turner, who has been serving in the army, doesn't appreciate Carter's style. Compared with the tough Reagan, Carter was a little soft.
It was in general Turner's temper not to let the Soviets take advantage of it. The allies of the United States and other European countries are in their own hands. If they are taking advantage of the Soviets, they will live in vain.
In this way, Admiral Stansfield Turner unexpectedly served as the commander-in-chief of NATO's European allies. The news shocked the whole world immediately; Turner just showed up on TV. Is there any conspiracy in this? At this time, the whole world is paying attention to it.
