Chapter 1519 Dirty Dealings

Kim Hyun-tae's proposal made Old George and General Astmoreland very excited, because they both knew very well that if they could really pull all the American generals stationed in Vietnam into this network of interests, the benefits they could get would be quite huge.

And this matter is very feasible. After all, no one would not want to get some extra benefits. After all, human nature is like this.

A group of poor American soldiers went to a distant country without any effort. Is it really for the "freedom" of other people's people?

It is absolutely impossible for such a good thing to happen in the world, and Americans do not have such a great nature.

Benefits!

Only benefits!

At the same time, more importantly, the American generals sent to South Vietnam are basically guys who are not very successful in the army, just like Astmoreland.

After all, it is impossible for everyone to be so smooth and sophisticated, and be able to handle human relationships so skillfully. There are always some people with low emotional intelligence and very rigid in doing things.

In addition, a few high-ranking military officials knew very well that the war in South Vietnam would end in failure, so sending those guys who were not very sociable, extremely annoying, and not liked by their colleagues to South Vietnam was actually a good thing.

After all, although those annoying guys were not very sociable in the army, their military qualities were very strong, and they were just right for South Vietnam.

Moreover, South Vietnam was really fighting, not the kind of soft acting. Since it was a real war, there would definitely be casualties, so sending those guys was just right, wasn't it?

Therefore, a situation arose, and some of the generals in the US military who were not very sociable were simply sent to South Vietnam to fight with North Vietnam.

Those generals who were like fish in water in the army stayed comfortably in the country, avoiding being sent to the battlefield to face the artillery and threats of the North Vietnamese army.

It has to be said that the United States in the different time and space is really not an ordinary weirdo, and even the army is so weird that it makes people speechless.

However, it is precisely because of this reason that Jin Xiantai can show his strength. If the military system of the United States in the different time and space is the same as the military system of the United States in the world where he originally lived, then it is obviously unlikely that Jin Xiantai wants to "do whatever he wants".

In any case, this is a very good thing for Jin Xiantai.

"I think this matter is very feasible. Now the middle and senior military officials of South Vietnam are full of resentment about the personnel arrangements of the Pentagon. Everyone has seen one thing clearly, that is, the Pentagon is excluding us officers who are not so sociable.

So during this period of time, there has been a strong negative atmosphere among the officers of the Vietnamese army, which has also caused some changes in the mentality of us. Many people have changed their previous bad tempers and started to seek some ways out for themselves.

Like me, haven't I also had such changes?"

At this time, General Astmoreland mentioned some of the ideological dynamics of the officers of the US military stationed in Vietnam, and also told Jin Xiantai about himself as an example.

Old George heard this and his eyes immediately shone.

Perhaps at first glance, it seems that such a dynamic of thought is quite unfavorable for the US troops stationed in Vietnam, but Old George does not think so. On the contrary, he believes that if this matter is handled well, it will bring great benefits to his own forces and to Kim Hyun-tae who is about to serve in South Vietnam.

It is very simple. If the middle and senior officers of the US troops stationed in Vietnam who are excluded by the Pentagon and most of the military can be won over, they can also form a considerable force.

These people have strong military qualities, but they were not very good at being human in the past, their emotional intelligence was too low, and they were not very smooth, so they were excluded.

Putting these aside, if these people can be won over and pulled into their own forces with benefits, the role they can play in the future is absolutely not to be underestimated.

Moreover, as long as these people can be won over, it is equivalent to the relationship network of Old George and Kim Hyun-tae. If they can smoothly involve the military field, it is equivalent to crossing the military and political circles.

Once this circle of relationships is stabilized, it will have huge intangible benefits for Old George's family and even Kim Hyun-tae.

Almost in an instant, this idea was in George's mind and was thought through thoroughly.

Now the United States seems to be calm, but in fact it is not. There are undercurrents underground. George has been feeling a little uneasy about this.

Those vampires, werewolves, wizards, mutants, and superpowers have all contacted some politicians and political forces, and have been absorbed by these politicians and political forces. Among them, the conservatives who have stepped down are even more unscrupulous, recruiting a large number of these special humans to become one of them to strengthen their own strength.

I believe that if the conservatives are not curbed, then in the near future, those conservative guys will definitely rise again and regain the power they once lost.

Once such a situation occurs, George and even the hawks to which George belongs will definitely be suppressed by the other side.

And even Kim Hyun-tae, Anne, and other political forces will be treated in this way.

Therefore, George needs to find an opportunity to expand his power and seek to have the strength to protect himself when such turmoil occurs in the future.

And a force that spans the military and political circles will definitely make conservatives wary, and no matter what the situation is, it can also guarantee the interests of itself, its family, and its friends who are in the same camp.

Now there is such an opportunity.

So, George said immediately: "Well, this is feasible, and I can fully support it. Just do as William said, I will do my best to veto the proposal of free support to the South Vietnamese government in Congress. Moran, please give me a military purchase bill as soon as possible, I will pass it, and we will squeeze the gold reserves in the hands of the South Vietnamese government together.

The weapons and equipment that need to be purchased in this military purchase will all be produced by the military enterprises under Anne's name, and even the transportation will be handed over to her. After all, she is now the female shipping king of the United States, isn't she?

As for how much proportion of this military purchase Anne will take out for our private distribution, I will find time to talk to Anne in detail, but I can guarantee that Anne is definitely not a stingy person, please rest assured Moran."

Such a blatant division of spoils made Jin Xiantai unbelievable.

Even General Astmoreland, who was experiencing this for the first time, had a dull look on his face, and it was obvious that he was quite shocked.

But Old George was very skilled in this kind of thing, after all, he had done it more than once or twice.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders who were not aware of it, Old George was definitely a politician with clean hands, but in fact, Old George was not that kind of person at all.

Holding power in his hands, not taking advantage of himself was not Old George's style.

Of course, even if Old George took advantage of it, he would not do it as excessively as the original Conservatives.

To put it bluntly, Old George was just taking advantage of the loopholes in the rules, and people could not find any faults at all.

Astmoreland quickly came back to his senses, and his face showed an excited expression. Obviously, if this thing succeeded, the benefits it could bring were definitely beyond the imagination of an old soldier who had suffered all his life.

So it was no wonder that he was so excited.

This also made Astmoreland sigh in his heart how wise and correct the decision he made was, and it also strengthened his confidence in joining Old George and Jin Xiantai.

To be honest, it is easy to win the hearts of soldiers like General Astmoreland who have always been excluded by their colleagues in the army.

Just give them a little sunshine and they will be very happy.

It's just that the Pentagon and most people in the army always exclude officers like General Astmoreland and don't give them any chances at all.

So now George and Kim Hyun-tae have the opportunity to take advantage of it.

"Okay, I will notify Annie and ask her to arrange a time to meet with you in Washington, Mr. George.

General Moran, please come up with a military purchase proposal as soon as possible, and at the same time come up with a list of American military officers stationed in Vietnam who can be won over, so that we can more easily know who can be won over and it will be convenient for us to act."

At this point, the matter is basically settled.

George can easily pass the proposal and promote the transaction in the proposal with his power as the chairman of the "Defense Budget Committee" and the controller of the "Secret Military Expenditure Fund".

While Old George has solved the economic problem, what General Astmoreland needs to do is to select the right people, pull them into this network of interests, pull these people to his side, become a member of a group of interests, and then make money together.

It is impossible for Jin Xiantai to do nothing.

What he is responsible for is to take out a "big boss" attitude after going to South Vietnam, and use various methods to seize everything from the South Vietnamese officials who control various resources.

And he also needs to take out a sum of money in advance and give it to General Astmoreland privately, so that he can more easily bribe and win over the officers of the US military stationed in Vietnam, so that they can provide necessary help in many things.

Of course, the money that Jin Xiantai took out needs to be repaid by General Astmoreland from another channel afterwards.

As for the channel for making up the money, haha, it is obviously the dividends that Jin Xiantai gives to everyone after seizing the resources controlled by the South Vietnamese officials.

General Astmoreland does not object to this.

After all, Jin Xiantai is not a charity. He only took out the money in advance to reassure everyone, not to give it away for free.

At this point, George Sr., Jin Xiantai, and General Astmoreland privately drafted an idea about sharing the tangible and intangible wealth of South Vietnam...
