Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 1006
The National Security Council of the United States can be regarded as an institutional unit with American characteristics.The chairman is the president, and the committee members include the vice president, the secretary of defense, the secretary of state and so on.

Such a composition of members determines working in such an institution, although it does not seem to be the center of the Federation like the White House Office.But in fact, compared to the administrative office on the bright side, when Carter came to the basement, he realized that this is the closest place to the federal decision-making!

Of course, the committee itself has no decision-making power.But I can't stand it anymore, the members of the committee, no matter which one is single-handed out, they are all powerful people.As their secret staff, many suggestions may really come out of this small basement.
"Your workplace will be here from now on, and I'll be upstairs on weekdays. If you have anything to do, there is a phone on the desk, and you can come to me directly."

Leading Carter to a desk, Scowcroft said with a smile:
"The things you need to prepare, I have already asked someone to put them on your table, you can take a look first, I think these jobs should be quick for you to adapt to. If there are more, I won't say anything, wait for you Good news!"

"Okay, don't worry!"

Carter nodded, and after sending Scowcroft away, he turned around and carefully looked at this staff group, which can be said to be the highest level in the Federation.

With more than 200 people stuffed in the basement, it is obvious that it cannot be expected to have a good office environment. More than 200 people are crowded in a large office. Here, regardless of the level, they have to use the public office area and want to have an independent office.
Why don't you go upstairs and talk about it first!
In addition, the number of people in military uniforms and suits here is almost halved, and there are even more people in suits.Think about it, the National Security Council is not purely about national defense and security. Even the Secretary of State, the top US diplomat, is a member of it. Naturally, people here also come from all walks of life.

Economic security can be said to be a part of national security; diplomatic relations are also factors that affect national security. In addition to military, technology and other fields, you can almost find people in the industry here.

As an assistant to Scowcroft, who ranks relatively low in the committee, and whose original duties are only to lead the committee's administrative body, Carter's position is also leaning towards the corner.This is exactly what Carter wanted, at least it doesn't need to be in the middle, and there are people in the front, back, left, and right, which seems awkward.
Picking up his mug, he walked to the small bar next to the office, made a cup of coffee, and Carter returned to his desk with the coffee.Carter, who still has a White House pass on his chest, looks like an ordinary federal official.

After nodding with a lieutenant colonel and a colonel beside him with a smile, he took two sips of coffee. Carter opened the folder in front of him and started his work.

When it comes to talking about this first job, Carter is a little twisted.

In 91, it was still August and September, if there were any major events that might be related to the national security of the United States.There is no doubt that in June, the Soviet Union, oh no, it should be called the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic now
Although the historical mark of the disintegration of the Soviet Union was in December, the independence of the republics was the beginning.Today, however, the Soviet Union has largely ceased to exist. On June 12, Yeltsin was elected president of Russia.

With the fall of the Soviet Union, the situation in the Far East will inevitably change.Perhaps because of his talents, the first task Carter received was to evaluate the value of China after the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

For example, is it worthwhile for the United States to continue to invest energy and provide assistance to it; whether it is necessary to lower the current P level that symbolizes "non-ally and partner countries"; whether it needs to.
Accompanied by it, there are all kinds of information about the other party held by the United States.Including but not limited to Mr. James Baker, who has been transferred to the Secretary of State, in December last year, when he invited Chinese and foreign ministers to visit the United States; there are also records of Mr. Scowcroft's two visits to China in 12, etc. for reference The information was placed on Carter's desk.

After seeing such a task, Carter sighed slightly inwardly, then picked up a pen and began to write his own views and analysis on it.

Between countries, there has always been only interests but no feelings.

Even though he was full of friendship for that homeland due to personal feelings, Carter still wrote an analysis truthfully: Why despite the decline of the Soviet Union, its threat still exists, especially after the militaristic "explosion" in the later period, the more The more intense the domestic conflict, the more likely it is that there will be war.

Even if we are preparing for this possible situation, we should continue to wait and see for a period of time, etc.
Then there is the evaluation of various aspects, and then making charts and so on.

Among them, there are places where the information is unknown, and if you call the corresponding unit, you can basically get the information you want.This extremely efficient way of obtaining information made Carter say that he did not come in vain.
If you simply write some reports that do not require data support, then this is not difficult.Carter also does not think there is any problem in maintaining friendly relations at this time.

But if you want to make all kinds of data as detailed as possible and make it look like that, then this report will not be made in a day.Fortunately, the timeliness requirements here, at least for this kind of long-term evaluation report, are not very high.

Scowcroft did not rush Carter until the end of get off work, and Carter was naturally not in a hurry.After getting off work as usual, Carter found his Dodge in the parking lot of the White House and sat in it.

At the moment when he drove out of the White House and onto Pennsylvania Avenue, four Saabbans circled around intentionally or unintentionally.Sailing together to the west of DC, Maryland
"I am back!"

Just like the habit when he was in Douglas, Carter habitually yelled when he entered the door.

"Mister is back! The lady hasn't come back yet. According to Sister Cui, she is still playing with her classmates at school! The meal is ready and it's heating up. Do you want to eat first?"

Popping his head out of the kitchen, one of the nannies who followed Li Yinxin from South Korea quickly explained.In the main building of the manor, there are only nannies on weekdays, and security personnel generally do not enter.

"Have you made new friends so quickly? Good thing! For dinner, please ask Aunt Jin to keep warm, and we will eat together when Yin Xin comes back. I'm not hungry yet!"

After changing the slippers, Carter walked towards the stairs with a smile while untying the tie on his chest.

"Oh, by the way, you can prepare a suit for me tonight. The new unit does not require military uniforms, and this suit is a bit tiring to wear."

While going upstairs, Carter turned his head and ordered.

Then, Carter went to the study on his own, busy with his own affairs.
