Chapter 1610 Five-star general

The military rank system in the United States is different from other countries.

"Six-Star General" and "Super General" are the highest and second ranks of the US military. In history, they were only awarded the founding father George Washington at the same time, and they have long ceased to exist with his death.

Later, Dewey and Pershing, two famous generals, were also awarded the title of "Super General", and the "Six-Star General" was the only one.

After World War I, the "Five-Star General" as the third military rank was retained and became the highest military rank in the name of the active US military. The "Five-Star General" here does not refer to the Swiss watch brand, it is full of gold.

The supreme commander was only awarded during the war, and this rank had not appeared during the First World War, so the five-star generals in the United States were all related to World War II.

Until now, only nine people have appeared. With the death of five-star general Omar Bradley in 1981, there are no five-star generals in the United States.

Therefore, in fact, the four-star general is the highest rank of the active US military, divided into land, sea, air, and not many.

Mr. Colin Powell, who is calling Han Xuan now, is self-evident. He is the "God of War" in the minds of blacks and has won the highest honorary award in the United States.

However, he retired as early as 1993. He met him at a party a few years ago and left numbers with each other. He has always been on his mobile phone and has never contacted him later.

When Han Xuan saw this call, his first reaction was to be bad!

Because my old man had long been obsessed with him, he wanted to send him to the army for training for a while, saying that he could hone his will.

The US military has dominated the world over the years, and major wars have not occurred, but local wars have occurred one after another.

Not long after the Gulf War, it has recently been a small move in the Kosovo region of Yugoslavia, Eurasia, and the United States-led NATO organization is in a tense confrontation with the Yugoslav Alliance. The war is about to break out and clouds cover the eastern European region.

Of course, Mr. Han would not be stupid. He asked Han Xuan to go to the battlefield to "train his will". Although he is worth hundreds of billions of dollars, a bullet can also kill him!

There is only one grandson in my baby. He actually wants to send Han Xuan to the American Academy of Sciences, which is what people often call West Point Military Academy

This action is very meaningful.

Han Xuan heard the old man say three years ago that he wanted to send himself to the military academy to study for a while. He didn't think anything was wrong at the time. Now he has a broader horizon. Thinking about it carefully, he actually doesn't have to go to West Point Military Academy at all.

If you want to talk about the impact behind it, in addition to establishing good relations with a group of senior army officers who graduated from West Point Military Academy, the only role is to... run for president!

Having graduated from West Point Military Academy will help you get support from the Pentagon in the future. If you want to become the US president successfully, getting support from the military will play a great role.

At this moment, Han Xuan couldn't help wondering whether his old fox had already begun to plan the position of US president for him.

Otherwise, it would not make sense at all. Why did he be obsessed with the military academy with the greatest influence in the United States? His family was not involved in the arms business. It would be enough to win over politicians when doing business in daily life.

Although it is said that the three practical pillars of contemporary US global hegemony are the US media, the US dollar and the US military, the US military has a low status in politics, with only a group of arms merchants standing behind them and supporting them unswervingly.

At this moment, Han Xuan's thoughts suddenly came to light.

I was very sure that the old man had indeed set his sights on the throne of the US president, and the reasons for having a close relationship with the Bush family were more sufficient at this moment.

He didn't think the old man wanted to send himself to the military academy now. When he decided to study at Cambridge University last year, he did not object.

After all, I am still too young, and I am still twenty years away from the age to be able to participate in the election. The United States stipulates that citizens born in their own country will not be able to participate in the presidential election until they are thirty-five years old...

After laughing and answering the phone, Han Xuan calmly put his phone in his ear and asked, "Hi, Mr. Powell?"

"Well, I'm right.

You actually remember me and thought you would take time to introduce yourself. People say you are smart, but it seems that you are smart, and your memory is really terrible."

Four-star general Powell on the other end of the phone said in surprise.

The two met only once. They exchanged business cards out of curiosity. A few years later, but he called out his identity. He thought Han Xuan had read the phone number at that time and still remembered it.

Han Xuan had no intention of explaining, and then smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise, sir.

Is there anything I have to do with me? If it is because of the conflict in Eastern Europe, I can't help. Some of my family's businesses have just been covered there, and after receiving the government's notice, they hurriedly withdrew, and my company suffered a considerable loss."

This sentence is just a joke. Han Xuan has no ability to intervene in the battle between NATO and Yugoslavia.

Speaking of Yugoslav Alliance, its approach is very strange. It clearly has different social systems, but during the Cold War, it regarded itself as a neutral country, bought a large number of military weapons from NATO countries, and many citizens also went to West Germany to look for jobs.

Since being punished by economic sanctions a few years ago, it has become the poorest region in Europe. The Internet has not begun to develop at all. The living standards of residents are low, and they are only slightly better than Cuba.

The Blueberry Group was originally planning to go to the Yugoslavia Federation to sell mobile phones, but later found that most of the local residents had no money to buy them. The recent trend of war has become obvious. The United Nations is preparing to bomb it through NATO's request, so it simply evacuated all its business, with little loss.

"Haha! If it were because of that, I would call President Clinton directly. I'm retired now, but it's not difficult to find him.

I came to you for something else this time. Today I met an old friend. He said he wanted to find a celebrity to help shoot a short video for recruitment. It has become increasingly difficult for recruitment in recent years. The Pentagon is also preparing to use celebrities to shoot advertisements.

I just remembered you, so I called to ask if I was interested. If it were you, I believe the effect would be very good.”

After hearing General Powell's words, Han Xuan's expression gradually turned into shock. He didn't guess at all that it was because of this incident, and it seemed that he couldn't fight with him. Then he started to make things difficult for him and weighed the pros and cons in his heart.

It is of course great to be able to promote yourself in short military recruitment videos.

But Han Xuan thought to himself that he is not a soldier, and there will be no peace in the next few years. If anyone dies, wouldn’t he be angry on his head?

It's okay to be angry, but if you go crazy because of losing your children and come over to "reason" yourself with a gun, it will be more than worth it. Doing such a thing can easily turn into a scapegoat.
