Chapter Sixteen

Qi Qiwei and Mundes were indeed talking about Pei Chengyi. And they talked about it for several days

While Pei Chengyi and Li Cunxun were having dinner and talking about the international situation, Du Qiwei was taking a bus to the White House, preparing to use the dinner time to continue discussing Pei Chengyi's affairs with Landes. Because Landes is president and is the busiest person in the world, he can only use the dinner time to talk about Du Qiwei about some irrelevant topics. As a result, Du Qiwei has not had a meal with his family for several nights.

Although Duchewei was born in a bishop family today and was influenced by religion since he was a child, his many years of military career have long forgotten some Catholic traditions, such as praying before dinner and thanking God for giving food. This is true. Duchewei does not think that dinner time is sacred, but he can't stand it when he goes to the White House for several consecutive days to enjoy special treatment.

It’s not that the president is too enthusiastic, but that the president looks down on him too much.

On the evening of the first dinner with Landes, Ducheway clearly mentioned that it was necessary to attach great importance to Pei Chengyi's appointment as the special assistant to the head of state of the Republic. As a result, in order to express his great importance to this matter, Landes asked Ducheway to go to the White House to report the situation every evening. In the first two days, Ducheway felt that Landes had a lot of time to talk to him about Pei Chengyi during the day. It was not until two days ago that when Landes took his family to Camp David for vacation and asked Ducheway to drive to Camp David to report the situation, the Marine Corps Lieutenant General realized that he was asked.

There is no doubt that feeling is not comfortable.

If it were a few years ago, Duchewei would have left.

No matter how big Landers is, he has no right to force American citizens to serve the White House. Having said that, when Brandino was in power a few years ago, he would not treat Ducheway like this. At least he would send Marine helicopters to take Ducheway to Camp David, and even arrange a room for Ducheway to let him relax in Camp David.

Duqiwei endured it because he had to.

At the beginning of last year, Duchewei knew that the era that made him feel like a fish in water was gone forever, and the next few years will be a "dark period"

At that time, Branbano, who was still in charge of the overall situation at the White House, realized that the Democratic era was over.

Looking at the not-too-long history of the United States, the period from Japel to Brandino is the most glorious period for the Democratic Party. During this period, except for Republican President Frederick who lived in the White House for 8 years, the four Democratic presidents won a total of 6 elections and were in power for a long time. Although many scandals broke out during this period, such as the "Bet David Incident" that killed a president and was forced to resign, overall, the achievements of the Democratic Party are obvious to all. It can even be said that the Democratic Party's policies determine the future of the United States.

The so-called prosperity and decline 0

Although almost all Americans believe that it was Westwood and Brandino, the two Democratic presidents, who helped the United States survive the Great Depression, provided jobs to millions of workers during the Great Depression, provided a source of living for millions of families, and continued everyone's "American Dream". The first three passages of the first were slogans shouted when they helped the Democratic Party run, and the latter made great contributions to the long-term development of the US economy. If Brandino can achieve something in "military skills", he is likely to become the fifth US president to leave his avatar on Capitol Hill. However, there is a common problem among American voters, that is, after having a few bills in his wallet, he will never forget "the international status and international image of the United States."

This problem of American voters is quite ironic.

In the eyes of the outside world, the Democratic Party has never been unable to escape a vicious circle, that is, it is to strive to develop the economy when it is in power, and the better the economy is, the faster it will step down.

It is precisely this that many people think that the Republican and Democrats take turns in power is actually the biggest conspiracy.

Perhaps, most Americans are conspiracy theorists, which is not unrelated to this.

In any case, the two Democratic presidents have been in power for the past year, and the Great Depression that plagued the United States has also ended. The new international situation requires a stronger and stronger president. Although in history, the Democratic Party has also produced many strong presidents, such as Wilson who led the United States to participate in World War I, Roosevelt who participated in World War II, and Kennedy who entered Vietnam, in the eyes of most American voters, the Republican president is the best candidate. More importantly, most of the American middle class, which accounts for the nearest voters, does not have a fixed political stance and has a strong ability to accept new things. The most worrying about dictatorship is that after the end of World War II, it was because Americans were worried about the emergence of dictators that they pushed Congress to pass a bill that the president could only rule for two consecutive terms, so they were very happy to change their tastes and let the Republican Party perform on stage for a few years.

It was surprising that it was not only Brandino who saw this, but also almost all politicians.

As a result, before the party elections in Yo-year, several of the most promising Democratic presidential candidates retreated early and announced their withdrawal from the election on various reasons. In the end, the Democratic Party had to launch a candidate who was 77 years old and had a high prestige within the party and was destined to be president in this life. This is exactly the same as the Republican Party's practice in the election of the New Year.

The result of the election can be imagined, and Republican presidential candidate Landers easily won.

In fact, in the case of the industry, some people predicted that when the election was held that year. That was the real election. No matter who the Republican Party elected, as long as it was not mentally retarded, even if it was a disabled person, he could become president.

As a shrewd politician, Duchway had already arranged a way out for himself.

At that time, Brandino invited him to join Davis Company and established it in the New Year. Within just one year, it became the number one investment management company on Wall Street with assets worth over one trillion yuan. Duqiwei did not accept the invitation. It was not that he did not understand Brancomeno's kindness. As long as people who make a name for themselves in the American politics, they know that Davis Company is an investment company that specializes in asset management for politicians and is also the most influential representative of interest groups. Entering Davis Company is equivalent to finding a permanent foothold in American politics. In fact, Duqiwei's idea is very simple, that is, his political career is not yet at the end.

It has to be admitted that the "military temperament" makes Duchewei look no less popular in American politics.

After witnessing the Democratic Party losing the election, Ducheway accepted a news commentary job with an annual salary of 10,000 US dollars. Although his income was very meager after the hyperinflation during the Great Depression, the average American income was 10,000 US dollars, and the average social salary was more than 10,000 US dollars per year. With Ducheway's qualifications, the annual salary of 10,000 US dollars is indeed low, but Ducheway does not see money, but the political benefits brought by it. As a news commentator, Ducheway can make political remarks without restrictions to express his political propositions.

However, Duqiwei tests how long it takes to sit in this position.

Shortly after the White House changed hands, he received a call from the presidential secretary. He had a few meals with the beautiful woman who was less than a year old and talked about his life experience. Of course, the result was not much better. Although Duchwie's legendary experience can make every woman fall in love with her, and even make some women with mild paranoia reach orgasm faster. However, there is nothing to talk about on political issues. In fact, Duchwie cannot be shaken by the beautiful presidential secretary this year. At least he cannot change his political stance because of this.

The situation did not change until a few days ago, not long before Du Qiwei learned that Pei Chengyi was about to take office as the special assistant to the head of state of the Republic.

At that time, the first thing I talked to Duchway was not Landes, nor the young woman who was better than being a secretary, but Duchway's old boss, Brandino, who was in a prosperous position at Davis. After only one breakfast, Branbianno convinced Duchway. It was not until this time that Duchway realized that American politics was far less simple than he thought. Or, it was much more complicated than he thought.

Davis Company has a very background, and Brandino has not left American politics.

Although the Republicans came to power, the one who truly mastered the United States was definitely not the president living in the White House. In Brandino's words, no matter who lives in the White House or what political stance, they had to safeguard the national interests of the United States, that is, the interests of interest groups representing the United States, and the two parties took turns to maintain the "freshness of politics." This is like eating breakfast. Eating bread today may be oatmeal tomorrow. If you eat bread or oatmeal every day, people with a good appetite will be disgusted.

Of course, it is not Brandino's metaphor, but his promise.

According to Brandino's guarantee, as long as Ducheway can make contributions, it will be valued and will be valued in the near future. At that time, Ducheway can even choose a political party according to his preferences without having to make a clear stand. Brandino also hinted that Ducheway has taken on the powerful people who control the United States behind the scenes have already fallen in love with him, but the time is not yet ripe, so he needs a little patience. In this way, if Ducheway wants to make a difference, he must stay energetic before being reused to avoid being forgotten.

It can be said that Brandino said it very thoroughly, and Duchway could not not understand.

Pei Chengyi, who had "changed his mind and thoughts", appeared for several years, and was about to enter the political arena as the special assistant to the head of state of the Republic. In a sense, this is the key reason why Du Qiwei made the decision.

That morning, Duchway met Landers and accepted Landers' invitation.

What happened next was what was mentioned earlier.

Although Brandino's words convinced Duchway that Landers is just a shameful figure in the hands of interest groups, under the political system of the United States, there is definitely no real shame, or there is also a thought. No matter what, Landers did not reuse Duchway, a very important reason is Duchway's identity as a Democratic Party member. If considering the complexity of domestic interest groups in the United States, that is, no interest group can control the United States alone, and those interest groups that control the situation behind the scenes are also fighting each other, then Landers hired Duchway and did not pay attention to Duchway, which is easy to understand. In a sense, Duchway's local in the Landers cabinet is the same as Pei Chengyi's upcoming role in Cape Town. That is, by appointing him to convey a certain message.

As Brandino's most capable assistant, Duchewei cannot not understand the truth.

That's why Duchway was not angry. Ultimately, Landers was already very "gracious" to be able to make him play a role in the Republican government as a quasi-cabinet member.

The problem is, Duchwie is worried about Des, or the future of the United States.

After getting the news from Brandino, Du Qiwei realized that Pei Chengyi's "return" must be related to the situation in the Middle East.

Although the Middle East issue has been hot for several years and has not cooled down since the Syrian-Israel War, Pei Chengyi did not come out early or late. Just when the whole world turned its focus from Israel and Syria to the Kurds, it was enough to prove that the Republic was planning related actions. What made Duchwie even more worried was that the performance of the US authorities was not lagging behind. A large number of signs showed that Pei Chengyi's return was largely due to the policies of the US authorities, because Landers announced shortly after taking office that it would remove the obstacles that blocked the United States and Turkey and provide Turkey with a batch of advanced weapons as soon as possible.

The "obstacle" Landes mentioned is not the vast Atlantic Ocean, but a weapon export ban on the Kurdish issue passed many years ago by the US Congress. At that time, the United States was actively preparing to deal with Iran and had secret contacts with the Turkish authorities many times, hoping that Turkey could provide convenience, such as opening military bases to the US military and allowing the US to transit the border, etc., while the Turkish authorities took advantage of the situation to threaten the United States and demanded that the United States not interfere in Turkey's actions against the Kurds. As a result, the whole world knew that the secret negotiations between the United States and Turkey ended in a collapse, the United States lost the Iran war, and the US Congress was angry. The decision to punish Turkey, which did not know the heights, passed this bill with far-reaching impact on Turkey. From then on, as long as the Turkish authorities

In accordance with the provisions of the bill, it was refusal to admit that in the early 2000s, the Kurds who crossed the border to Iraq violated the law of international war and handed over war criminals, and the United States would not sell offensive weapons to Turkey, which accounted for more than half of the total weapons. Because European countries, Germany, which exported the most arms, had similar bills, prohibiting the provision of weapons and equipment to Turkey that can be used to deal with the Kurds, so Turkey could not purchase advanced weapons from NATO European member states. In this case, Turkey had to purchase advanced weapons from Russia, and even became a guest of arms dealers in the Republic. For example, in Tiannian, Turkey purchased long-range rocket launchers with a millimeter caliber that were enough to arm three artillery brigades.

It can be seen that Landes announced at this time that it would resume exporting advanced weapons and equipment to Turkey. It is equivalent to telling the Republic clearly that the United States is accelerating its pace of consolidating its Middle East position and is preparing to use the method of binding Turkey to ensure Israel's hegemony in the Middle East. More importantly, even if Landes does not have this idea, it is easy to convince the Republic that the United States is planning to use the Kurdish issue to deal with Iran, Iraq and Syria. Not to mention anything else, as long as the Turkish army enters the Kurdish settlement with the advanced American weapons, it will lead to a large number of the 40,000 Kurds living in Turkey fleeing to neighboring countries, leading to serious humanitarian disasters. If there are a few ulterior sabotagers among these refugees, it will definitely cause greater trouble for neighboring countries, such as social unrest.

Will the Republic play Tai Chi with the United States on this issue?

Although Gu Weimin, who has just come to power, has become famous as a moderate, the basic political atmosphere of the Republic determines that even a real moderate cannot change his tough foreign political stance.

Pei Chengyi's appearance just shows the problem.

The first thing that Du Daowei thought of was that the Republic would solve the Kurdish issue in a decisive way.

Coincidentally, Duchiwei's concerns were confirmed by four.

A latest information from 4 shows that before the Republican authorities announced that Pei Chengyi was appointed as the special assistant of the head of state, he discussed how to resolve the Kurdish issue, and had great differences. The military was responsible for the war, and the government was responsible for the reconnaissance satellites provided by the government showed that the Republic's military mobilization was very frequent, far exceeding the normal state.

That's why Landers chatted with Duchewei every evening.

The problem is that Landers does not believe Duchwie's judgment. In other words, Duchwie's judgment is contrary to Landers'.

As far as Duchwit knows, in Landes's view, the fundamental purpose of the Republic's arrangement of tit-for-tat Pei Chengyi to assist the head of state was to rely on Pei Chengyi's military talent. You should know that Pei Chengyi not only defeated the US-South Korea coalition forces in the Peninsula War, but also commanded the Republic's army to conquer India. In Landes' words: If the Republic wants to solve the Kurdish issue once and for all, or solve the Middle East issue, it must first flatten Turkey and then deal with Israel. If the Republic's leaders have enough courage, they will do these two things at the same time. Considering that the United States is likely to send troops to Asia Minor, Pei Chengyi's military talent and war experience are extremely valuable.

Duchway does not completely oppose the president's view, but there are several questions that cannot be explained.

Not to mention anything else, since the Republic wants Pei Chengyi's military talent, he should not be allowed to enter the Head of State, but should be sent to the South Asian War Zone, or set up a Middle East War Zone under his command. Only in this way can he command the Republic's army to fight like a finger, and stay by the Head of State, he would be only a military adviser at most.

Duchway knew the political situation in the Republic better than Landers, so he did not believe that things would be so simple.
