Chapter 803: Clouds Over Washington (2)

The vice admiral under investigation is named Michael Miller, who previously served on the USS Reagan aircraft carrier. According to the case report given by the judicial department, Michael Miller received the chief executive officer of a marine defense company headquartered in Singapore during his mission. In 2011, he handed over $200 million in contracts worth $200 million to Leonard's company, which gave him single-handed control of the U.S. Navy's Seventh Fleet supply and terminal services throughout the Pacific.

The bribes included cash, prostitutes, Cuban cigars, Kobe beef, etc., which lasted for more than ten years, and the total amount involved reached tens of millions of dollars.

The most important thing is that Michael Miller has close contacts with members of the Busch family. When he was suddenly arrested this time, it was obvious that the Donkey Party made a sudden move and caught the opponent by surprise. Otherwise, judging from the degree of corruption in the US military, this charge At most, he will be ordered to retire, and after paying a part of the fine, it will not be a problem to enjoy his life with peace of mind.

But judging from the current situation, this Michael Miller may be sentenced to 100 years in prison. Who told the old Americans to pay attention to human rights without the death penalty? As long as someone can live to 200 years old, the 100-year sentence Imprisonment is really nothing.

In short, when the Ministry of Justice and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service held a press conference in Washington to make the case public, the focus of public opinion immediately shifted from Yang Cheng to the hapless vice admiral. The heated discussion on the issue of corruption has nothing to do with it. In the final analysis, the matter between Yang Cheng and the call girl has nothing to do with the common people.

But the army is different. According to Lao Mei's thinking, the taxpayers spend a lot of money on the army every year, just to raise a group of moths?

And this is not the first time. Under the guidance of caring people, the American people have reached the point where they can't bear it. If it hadn't happened suddenly, they hadn't had time to prepare, or someone would have organized a demonstration near Baigong to protest.

In fact, not only the navy, but the entire US military system has long been corrupted by corruption. This is well known all over the world. From four-star generals to ordinary sergeants, as long as they have some power, there have been corruption cases. , This has also caused the phenomenon that the law does not blame the public, and there is no way to investigate it. Once it is investigated carefully, one of them will be put in prison for hundreds of years. How can the United States maintain its hegemony in this way?

Of course, compared to the army that is crying for poverty all day long, the corruption of the navy is really slightly better. Moth, in fact, this is also a long-term disease. In the past, the US emperor dominated the world. He could scare off a group of small countries by sailing two ships casually. Therefore, the navy soldiers did not have many tasks, and naturally their wages were not too much. They lived in the army on weekdays. , and there is no place to spend money, and everyone doesn't have much idea.

But this year, there was a war in the Middle East first, and then Comrade Guan Hai proposed a strategy of returning to the Asia-Pacific to curb the rise of country Z, which directly led to an increase in the number of naval missions. There is no annual increase, which is a big taboo. Laomei has no tradition of hard work. Everyone advocates freedom and enjoyment. Do you want me to work for you without money? Go dreaming! Since there is no money, everyone divides their luggage and breaks up. The final result is a large loss of personnel.

You must know that the navy is a high-tech arm, and it takes a long time to train a person.

Therefore, the consequences of brain drain are very serious, especially after entering 2010, the number of people joining the military in the United States has dropped sharply. Everyone's life is better, who wants to go to the army to suffer?

Even the colored people in the slums can't arouse the enthusiasm of being a soldier, and they might as well receive state relief in their own dens.

Therefore, in order to recruit enough soldiers, the army can only keep lowering the recruitment standards. Criminals and mental patients, as long as they have healthy limbs and IQs that are not below zero, they will all be sent in, so as to barely maintain the combat power of big toys. .

Of course, the navy is indeed rich, and its military expenditures are really high, but a large part of its military expenditures is used for the purchase and maintenance of equipment. Take the classic Burke III as an example. The cost of its first ship is as high as 2 billion U.S. dollars, while Compared with my country's 055 destroyer of the same level, the cost is only 800 million U.S. dollars, not to mention that there are sci-fi foreign countries, and Zumwalt, who fascinates a group of NC fans with his appearance, is a super cheat. The cost of 7.5 billion U.S. dollars is enough to build A small helicopter carrier is up.

In short, the common people in the United States temporarily forgot to criticize Yang Cheng because the cheating army was doing something again, and burned all their anger on Michael Miller.

However, this was not the most unlucky time for this unlucky guy. On the flight that Michael Miller was brought back to China for review, he did not know what happened and committed suicide in fear of guilt. The death was sudden. After the news was sent back to the United States, The old Americans were shocked at first, and then applauded and celebrated, saying that Michael Miller made the right decision and apologized to taxpayers across the country by dying.

Well, only simple-minded Americans would think this way, this tm is too strange to die, let’s not talk about what the detainees are doing for food, let a living person commit suicide by taking poison under his nose, Just based on the crimes he committed in the past and the high position he was in, this strong psychology would not make him commit suicide. Besides, where did the poison come from? It can't be changed out of thin air, can it?

If it wasn't for being forced, Yang Cheng would have hit his head against the wall right now and killed him!

Ruthless, too ruthless, before the person returns to the country for trial, some people can't bear to force him to death. This is a typical example of abandoning the car to protect the handsome man!

Is there any important secret hidden in this Michael Miller? Or who is holding the handle? Otherwise, why are the people behind him so anxious to destroy the corpse? This is not in line with common sense.

Furthermore, although Michael Miller has been in the camp of the Busch family for a long time, he has never heard of any direct interest disputes between them. Perhaps the key to the problem lies in the marine defense company in Singapore?

Yang Cheng couldn't figure it out, but felt a deep chill. At the same time, Mrs. Zipperton, who was planning all this in Washington, smashed a glass with frost on her face, and yelled hysterically at her subordinates, "Crazy!" , It's just too crazy, what are the people of the Busch family going to do? Do you really think they are the masters of this country?"

Several confidantes looked at each other and lowered their heads tacitly. At this time, whoever speaks is a fool. They can't do such a stupid thing as attracting firepower for their opponents.

Mrs. Zipperton vented, calmed down slowly, and ordered the secretary to call Richard Durbin to discuss the next move. Judging from her current state of anger, it is obvious that someone else is going to be in trouble. up.
