Chapter 920 Carter’s Role

Author: Khurav

In the previous life of the Chinese Internet, the United States was keen to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.

This is a point of view that almost everyone agrees with. Perhaps Carter did not subconsciously think in this direction at first. After all, at his core, Carter still believed in "independence" and "never interfere in the problems of other countries."

But right now, the CIA's actions in South Korea are wooing Roh Tae-woo; in the Iran-Contra incident that just broke out, the National Security Council allocated arms sales funds to support the Nicaraguan anti-government forces; or Japan

Taken together, it is not difficult to see that the United States is thinking about a big game. This series of actions also matches the strong diplomacy promoted by President Reagan. It is even a bit too strong.

Got it!

The arms sales to Iraq can be said to be for hostages, or to deal with the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan. South Korea is doing it to ensure the stability of the bridgehead in East Asia, and Japan is doing it for economic recovery.

Nicaragua, this is a small country in Central America, what is it trying to do?!

Sitting in the construction site office of Longshan Base, Carter silently lit a cigarette.

Human energy is always limited.

While taking care of work and business direction, Carter found that whether it was his geographical location or the above series of arrangements.

The only thing I have been directly involved in is Korean affairs, but there is also Japan that may indirectly influence or intervene. East Asia is Carter's main battlefield! As for other places, Nicaragua and Iran in the Middle East.

Feeling helpless!

Looking back to the present, the problem here in South Korea is to take out the shops in the Yongsan base and win over the old consortiums. I am afraid that the shops alone are not enough, and the logistics supply and contracting aspects are also involved.

"Ginsburg, go ask Mrs. Miles and the others if they found any problems at the Cummings store?"

After giving instructions to the noncommissioned officers in the office, Carter stood up and left the office. He drove straight to the North District.

"General, I want to replace the commercial service contractors in the base. The reason is: the constant contractor qualifications have gradually made these people slack off. Both the quality of services and the quality of goods have declined seriously, so that

There is a disconnect with the price they charge! I hope it can pass and re-bid, so that the base can be revitalized!"

After the high-sounding reason was revealed, Carter secretly paid attention to Livesey's expression.

The little old man chuckled:

"It makes sense, but what should we do? Many contractors' contracts have not yet expired. If we have to expel them at this time, even if someone pays liquidated damages, they may cause trouble."

"So I need to catch them, and I'm going to make a fuss about the Kangmingde store. As long as we catch one, we'll be in trouble!"

"These are all minor problems, and it is difficult for basic merchants to cause any trouble. You know where I am talking about."

After the old god lay back on the ground, Lieutenant General Livesey said calmly:

"We are old acquaintances, so I won't say more. I just want to ensure that there are no problems with the operation of the base. You can do whatever you want with other matters."

"I see!"

This is indeed the plan!

After coming out of Lieutenant General Livesey's office and walking on the road to the camp, Carter sighed inwardly. Sometimes he even had to admire how generous Lao Bu and the others were.

As General Livesey said, basic, superficial shops may be valuable to ordinary people. But if those shops are divided among multiple consortiums, it will definitely not be enough.

But what if a series of supporting logistics support such as communications, oil, material transfer, maintenance support, and even the production and procurement of ordnance spare parts are all handed over to those Korean consortiums? Then this is very tempting.

Got it!

Similarly, this is the only issue that may be difficult for General Livesey and even Lao Bu and others to deal with.

The cake here is too big!

After all, the U.S. military is different from the militaries of many countries in terms of military building ideas. In other words, in capitalist countries, the relationship between the military and business is far beyond ordinary people's imagination. In terms of U.S. military logistics support, it should be fully integrated with business to improve efficiency and optimize

The U.S. military has always had this tradition in terms of resource allocation.

The oil suppliers, ordnance parts, etc. of the US military stationed in South Korea were originally purchased from American merchants. Now they are purchased from Koreans. There is essentially no difference. The US military itself does not produce these products!

But the problem is, let alone the oil supply for the entire US military stationed in South Korea, it is just the oil supply for one base. This is a big business worth tens of millions every year! If it is matched, such as the ship engine produced by SK Group,

In other words, the production materials for non-core wearing parts of some U.S. Navy ships are provided and handed over to them to produce these spare parts on-site in South Korea.

Intellectually speaking, this decision is not a bad thing for the US military in South Korea.

With consortiums deeply involved in these matters, the relationship between the United States and South Korea will be closer! At the same time, the cost of maintaining the US military in South Korea will also be reduced.

Only, doing so will offend people!

If you want to open a canteen in the military, you may have a tortuous relationship, let alone a supplier of bulk commodities such as oil and machinery. Under normal circumstances, these defense contractors who deal directly with the military are also

Mainly concentrated in the Republican Party.

Carter recalled that he could even think of a few people he met during the Republican National Convention in Connecticut. They seemed to be defense contractors.

Dealing with this group of people is nothing less than backstabbing fellow Republicans. No wonder Lao Bu and others can't come forward directly!

It was no secret to Carter that Bob was planning the 1988 presidential election. Before participating in the presidential election, there was firstly a candidate campaign within the Republican Party. At such a critical juncture in the competition for the Republican presidential nomination, Bob dared to stand up and pick a candidate.

The nerves of these defense contractors are crazy.

The logic makes sense here! It’s self-consistent!

"You really think highly of me."

When they realized that they were counting on themselves to do dirty work: not only to satisfy the interests of the United States, but also to protect their own personal interests, they allowed themselves to be the good face and they were the bad face behind the scenes.

Carter couldn't help but sigh with a wry smile.

I don’t have any dissatisfaction with being used as a tool. If you think about it carefully, if you accomplish this, you will benefit a lot, right?

As the organizer, both parties have to sell themselves some face, and the business will slowly come out!

Joint venture?

Or buy shares directly?!

Carter seems to have smelled a hint of an opportunity to get involved in the Korean consortium in advance!
