Chapter 803： Clouds over Washington (2)

The lieutenant admiral under investigation was named Michael Miller, who had previously served on the USS Reagan. According to the case report given by the judicial department, Michael Miller received the chief executive of a marine defense company based in Singapore during his mission. Official Leonard’s bribery gave Leonard’s company a contract worth $200 million in 2011. These contracts allowed him to control the supply and terminal services business of the US Navy’s Seventh Fleet throughout the Pacific.

The content of the bribery included cash, ji women, Cuban cigars and 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. This time he was arrested. Obviously, people from the Donkey Party suddenly took action and hit the other side by surprise. Otherwise, judging from the corruption of the U.S. military, this is a crime. At most, after being ordered to retire and paying a part of the fine, it is not a problem to take care of life.

But from the current posture, this Michael Miller might be sentenced to a 100-year imprisonment. Who would tell the United States to pay attention to human rights without the death penalty? As long as someone can live to 200 years old, this 100-year term Imprisonment is really nothing.

In short, when the Ministry of Justice and the Naval Crime Investigation Department held a press conference in Washington to make the case public, the focus of public opinion immediately shifted from Yang Cheng to the hapless lieutenant admiral, which even aroused the people’s long-standing greed for the Navy. There is no way to lively discuss the issue of corruption. After all, Yang Cheng's affairs with call girls have nothing to do with the common people. At most, they just curse a few words for being rich and unkind. What should I do afterwards?

But the army is different. According to Lao Mei’s idea, every year, taxpayers spend large sums of tax army to raise a group of borers?

And this is not the first time. The American people have reached a point where they can't bear it under the guidance of a caring person. If it weren't for the sudden occurrence of the incident, they hadn't had time to prepare, otherwise someone had organized a protest near Baigong.

In fact, not just the navy, but the entire U.S. military system has long been eroded by corruption. This is well known all over the world. From four-star generals to ordinary sergeants, as long as they have some power, corruption cases have occurred. This has also resulted in the phenomenon that the law does not blame the public, and it is impossible to investigate. Once it is carefully investigated, one of them can be considered to be in prison for hundreds of years. In this way, how can the United States maintain its hegemony?

Of course, compared with the army, which crying for poverty all day long, the corruption of the Navy is really better. There is no way. Who makes the Navy lack manpower? The lack of manpower will inevitably cause management chaos. Various power vacuums and loopholes slowly breed a group of people. Worms, in fact, this is also a long-term disease. Back then, the U.S. ruled the world alone. It could scare away a group of small countries by driving two ships. Therefore, the navy soldiers didn’t have many missions, and the salaries were not too much. They lived in the army on weekdays. , There is no place to spend money, and everyone doesn't have much ideas.

But this year, first the Middle East war broke out, and later Comrade Guanhai proposed a strategy of returning to the Asia-Pacific, once to suppress the rise of country Z, which directly led to the continuous increase of naval tasks. The soldiers were busy with their feet, but the wages were several The year has not risen, this is a big taboo. Lao Mei does not have a tradition of hard struggle. What everyone advocates is freedom and enjoyment. Want to let Laozi have no money to work for you? Go dreaming! Since there is no money, everyone will split up their luggage, and the final result will be a massive loss of personnel.

We must know that the Navy, as a high-tech arm, takes a long time to train a person, so the consequences of brain drain are very serious. Especially after 2010, the number of soldiers in the United States has dropped sharply. Everyone is living well. Who wants to go to the army to suffer?

Even the people of color in the slums can't afford the enthusiasm of being a soldier, so it is better to receive state relief in their own den.

Therefore, in order to recruit enough troops, the army has to continuously lower the recruitment standards. Criminals, mental patients, as long as they have a sound limb and an IQ that is not low to minus to send them inside, so as to barely maintain the combat power of the big toy. .

Of course, the Navy is indeed rich, and the military expenditure is actually high, but a large part of the military expenditure is used for equipment procurement and maintenance costs. Take the classic Burke III as an example. The cost of its first ship is as high as 2 billion US dollars. Compared to our country’s 055 destroyer of the same level, the cost is only 800 million U.S. dollars, not to mention that there is no science fiction foreign country, and the super cheating product of Zumwalt, who has attracted a group of NC fans with its appearance, is enough for the cost of 7.5 billion U.S. dollars. A small helicopter carrier is out.

In short, American people temporarily forgot to criticize Yang Cheng because of the cheating army and doing things again, and they burned all their anger on Michael Miller.

However, this is not the worst time for this hapless guy. On the flight where Michael Miller was taken back to China for scrutiny, he did not know why he committed suicide in fear of crime. It was a sudden death. After the news came back to the United States, The old Americans were shocked at first, then applauded and congratulated each other, saying that Michael Miller had made the right decision and apologized to taxpayers all over the country with death.

Well, only simple-minded Americans would think so. This tm is too strange to die. Let’s not talk about what the detainees do and eat, let a big living person take poison and commit suicide under his own 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 suicide Besides, where did the poison come from? Can't be changed out of thin air?

If it weren't for being forced by others, Yang Cheng would hit the wall with his head now, killing him!

Ruthless, so ruthless, some people couldn't bear to drive them to death before they returned to China for trial. This is a typical abandonment of a car to be handsome!

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

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

Yang Cheng couldn't get it through, but she felt a deep chill. At the same time, Mrs. Zipperton, who was planning all this in Washington, smashed a cup with a frosty face, and screamed at the hysterical anger of her men. , It’s so arrogant, what are the members of the generosity family doing? Do you really think they are the masters of this country?"

The few confidants looked at each other and lowered their heads tacitly. At this time, whoever talks is a fool, and they can't do the stupid thing of attracting firepower for the opponent.

Mrs. Zipperton let out a vent, and slowly calmed down, and ordered the secretary to call Richard Debin to discuss the next step. Judging from her current state of anger, it was obvious that someone else was going to be unlucky. Up.
