Volume 15, Chapter 23: The Struggle for Power In the next few days, under the coordination of Yang Su, Flamingo Company finally realized the importance of intelligence analysis and hired a group of retired agents from the South African National Intelligence Service in Johannesburg with high salaries. , a group of intelligence analysis masters who were working in mercenary companies on the African continent joined the company, and each action team was assigned senior foreign intelligence analysis experts. The subordinate elite commandos also gathered to receive computer course training. Under Yuko¡¯s patient guidance, the eye-opening former Seawolf commandos could only put down their guns and patiently fiddle with a military laptop. On this day, at the underground training ground of the Flamingo Company headquarters building, Lei Yongqiang, who was very interested in visiting in person, saw a group of commandos clumsily playing with their notebooks. Lao Lei really couldn't help laughing: "You are all so stupid, haha, this is what Yuko taught you so patiently. I would have scolded you a long time ago." The patient Miss Yuko still said A subtle smile showed the patience, gentleness and many excellent qualities of this exotic beauty. Kong Qingzhong was also very grateful to her, and felt a little emotional: "It was only after I came out of the army that I realized that the world has changed. The previous strategies and tactics no longer work. Unfortunately, there are still more than 400,000 people like me in the Coastal Military Region. A fool who sits in a well and watches the sky is still working behind closed doors every day. "Zhao Daxi patted him on the shoulder and joked: "Don't worry about it, brother, this matter is not something you and I can handle." Kong Qingzhong looked at him when he heard it. It was dark again, and it was obvious that he was still worried about it, but there was nothing he could do about it. In short, this special training course was obviously very effective. There were many smart people among the more than 100 commandos of Flamingo Company. After three days, some of them were able to play with laptops. Yuko was also surprised and picked out a few talented people. The team members became liaison officers and taught them some communication courses on the Iridium satellite system. This exotic beauty was surrounded by a group of grown men, but she knew how to encourage people: "You may not be the best software engineers, but you are definitely the ones with the best marksmanship. Work hard." A group of commandos were attracted by her playful joke. As he spoke, he burst into laughter again, almost treating this beautiful instructor as a fairy in the sky. Kong Qingzhong almost treated this kind-hearted beauty as his own sister. He brought her home for dinner every day and introduced his wife to her. Mrs. Kong, who had the same quiet personality, soon mingled with Yuko every day and became inseparable like real sisters. The special training courses are in full swing, and the annual meeting of the Southern African Development Community has also opened at the right time. The first proposal on the first day of the meeting was a harsh statement issued by Zimbabwean President Mr. Mubeke as chairman of the organization¡¯s defense military committee. Facing the attention of major media around the world, Your Excellency the President severely criticized the CIA and the White House Cyber ??National Security Office for a series of actions and policies in Southern Africa, which have seriously disrupted the normal order in Southern Africa. His Excellency the President tapped his finger on the table and announced in a tough manner that the fifteen countries in Southern Africa would refuse all cooperation with the US Africa Command and demanded that all future actions of the CIA within the territory of the fifteen countries in Southern Africa must first be directed to the defense military. Committees request reports in advance or do so at their own risk. As soon as this statement was released, it immediately caused an uproar in major media around the world. The major media are hotly discussing this declaration of the fifteen countries in southern Africa, which is equivalent to closing the door for the US Africa Command to enter southern Africa. It is obvious that the African plan being prepared by the US military has been slapped head-on. In a short period of time, It¡¯s hard to make a difference inside. As President Mubeke, who holds the power of defense for the 15th National Congress of Southern Africa, his attitude represents the opinions of Southern Africa and there is no room for change. The sensational effect caused by the news is naturally not small in the United States, and another war of words is inevitable in Congress. Melissa Hesser, who was responsible for this matter, became the target of public criticism. She was pointed at and scolded by a group of congressmen. Her life was really not easy, and she finally felt the pain of offending Boss Zhao. Zhao Daxi and Lei Yongqiang were in Greece at this time, attending a regular meeting of the European Branch of Beishan Bank. The two of them sat in the office and discussed the newly published European Times. NATO's attitude was a bit vague. This turmoil even spread to Europe. Even in front of the US military Africa Command, whose office is located in Stuttgart, Germany, Hundreds of demonstrators showed up to protest against the establishment of an intercontinental command by the US military in Germany, believing it to be a serious violation of German sovereignty. The two of them were gloating over their misfortune, and Lei Yongqiang even laughed dryly: "Let's make a bet. I bet Melissa Heather's position will be unstable. She has caused such a big trouble and it will be difficult to end it. I bet She will definitely resign within a week, and those members of Congress will not let her go." Zhao Daxi naturally knew this and became very interested: "Okay, then I'll bet that she will still occupy this position. What's the bet? " Seeing that he was so sure, Lei Yongqiang was also quite skeptical: "Why are you so sure? She offended the entire southern Africa at once, angered half of the U.S. Congress, and also had a quarrel with her immediate boss Lu Peining, and even How could she still secure her position after ruining the entire African strategy of the US military? " Zhao Daxi was at a loss for words for a moment. He couldn't tell her that this woman was a beauty who covered up all her ugliness. Her subversive plan for North Africa had already been launched long ago, and it was unlikely that she would change her generals on the spot. Considering the importance of the entire North African strategy, the White House would definitely return the favor. I will indulge her for a while, and I can't explain it clearly when it comes to secrets. I can only vaguely say: "Don't worry about it, just tell me what to bet on." " Lei Yongqiang pondered over and over again, but was still confident: "Bet on a week's holiday." Zhao Daxi nodded without thinking: "I'm betting on it." The two of them had just been bored and bet on a week's holiday, when someone came to their door again. Lu Peining suddenly came to Athens, Greece, uninvited. He came very low-key and only brought a few personal bodyguards. He entered the country secretly without notifying the Greek government, and drove the car directly into Zhao Lei's courtyard. The person seemed to know something after just one glance. In the spacious library like the palace of Athens, he received the White House manager. Lu Peining had a very serious expression on his face and spoke frankly: "If you do a good job, you should give this stinker*. "I want you to teach me a lesson." Zhao Lei frowned slightly when they heard this. This was the first time they saw this gentle man angry. It turns out that gentle men can also curse when they are angry. Since he was so frank, Zhao Daxi became even more frank: "What are you doing? Melissa Hethaway is not your deputy. How come you can't control her? " Lu Peining's gentle face showed an expression of shame again, and she said very vaguely: "This stinky bitch is simply watery and narcissistic. She will not be loyal to anyone. " Zhao Daxi finally understood. It seems that Director Lu has encountered a powerful competitor. As for this powerful opponent, it is not difficult to guess. There are not many people who can compete with the White House Chief Executive for power. There is probably only one Mr. Gompertz, the newly appointed acting White House Intelligence Director, was a new position created during the Bush era. He is also a hard-line figure from the Department of Defense. He is a very powerful and tough opponent. Lu Peining¡¯s intention in coming to Greece is also quite obvious. He is not willing to let the power slip away. They are looking for foreign aid. Zhao Daxi naturally understood it and promised in person with a serious face: "Brother Lu, I will definitely be on your side. " Lu Peining's expression improved immediately after receiving his assurance. He and Zhao Lei talked secretly all night, and the next morning, they left secretly and rushed back to the United States. Zhao Daxi stood in an Athens palace-style mansion, which was so spacious that it was outrageous In the big yard, he felt comfortable after stretching. An unexpected power struggle forced the dignified White House manager to come to his side, and the alliance between him and Lu Peining became more solid. Personally, they only have a good personal relationship, so for now, the two of them can be regarded as allies who wear the same pants. Even though Lei Yongqiang didn't sleep all night and was yawning violently, he couldn't help but said with a smile: "Thank you very much. He killed that wanton woman, haha, does this mean that God is not as good as God? " Zhao Daxi grinned and nodded lightly. He also waved to Xiao Feng to prepare for the plane. He pushed the meeting to Lao Lei and rushed back to New Jersey. He took the opportunity to cooperate with the White House chief executive to make some big moves. He made up for it at his home in New Jersey. After sleeping, he openly appeared at the home of Mr. McCain, the former senator, in Washington, D.C., and tried his best to encourage Mr. McCain to come forward to reorganize the Wynn Council. This former senator himself was somewhat lacking in confidence: "Zhao. , I am already old, and I do not plan to be re-elected when my term as senator ends. I want to retire. " Zhao Daxi watched him speak without daring to look at him. He didn't know that he was actually unwilling to do so. He encouraged him with sweet words and used his good eloquence to say a few hot-blooded and cruel words, which aroused the deep feelings of this American hero. The desire and pursuit of power easily persuaded him to come out again. Only then did he see the US$200 million reconstruction fund needed to rebuild the Venn Council, which also boosted Mr. Senator's spirits. Somewhat enthusiastic. For several days, the outdated senator showed great enthusiasm and contacted his old friends to reorganize the Wayne Council. Zhao Daxi naturally knew what he was doing and pulled this outdated American hero out. It's just a cover. In the reorganized board of directors, General Manager Lu is the boss, and he, Zhao, will be the number one and a half figure besides Lu Peining, the mysterious boss and big benefactor behind the scenes. The scale of the board of directors at the beginning of the reorganization is not large. It will be great, after all, McCain's influence is not as good as it used to be, but it is much stronger than many second-rate organizations. After all, this organization has a White House official.?The general manager, a current senator, is already very powerful. Lu Peining was obviously annoyed by his powerful enemy. After thinking for a while, he nodded firmly and approved of Zhao Daxi's approach. ( )
