Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

In addition to policy factors, if you want to do things well, you also need to consider human factors!

Lieutenant General William Livesey, the commander of the Eighth Army and the U.S. Army in Korea, who took office in June last year, is from Georgia!
Regarding this lieutenant general commander, a very interesting thing actually happened in the future.Livesey, a retired general, was arrested by police after an argument with an employee at a Chinese restaurant in Atlanta over payment methods
As for the embarrassment of the retired general being arrested by the police, let’s not mention it for the time being, just look at the present:
On the one hand, this is a fellow countryman meeting a fellow countryman, with tears in his eyes; on the other hand, this Lieutenant General once cooperated with another unit during the Vietnam War, and that unit was the 173rd Brigade.
To be honest, Carter was a little shocked when he received a call from Rick reminding himself to go to Atlanta to visit Mr. General's family before going to Korea.

What the hell, such a convoluted relationship can actually be found out by his deputy elder father
In terms of paving the way for themselves, the veterans of the Republican Party are still much more reliable than the Democrats!If you say you do something, you really do it.
With such a bright future, Carter didn't even know what to say.
It is also a priority promotion unit, and it is also a headquarters agency. Although I did not go to the logistics port I dreamed of, I am still in the headquarters battalion. Forget it, let's see the good fortune!
He wandered leisurely in a taxi to Itaewon Road. After getting out of the car, Carter looked at the Yongsan base which was divided into two by Itaewon Road, and suddenly realized a serious problem: the headquarters of this special meow is In the North or the South?
At nightfall, in the huge officer's restaurant, a group of colleagues from the headquarters battalion held a grand banquet for Carter.As someone who just arrived at Longshan base, he could be personally interviewed by Lieutenant General Livesey
Who is still a fool? !
Graduated from the prestigious ROTC school, and seems to have a close relationship with the boss.What is the background of this person, do you need to say?

Compared with the normal infantry battalion, the headquarters battalion is a unit with more officers and non-commissioned officers than soldiers.In such a den of foxes, regardless of the reality, at least on the surface, Carter successfully integrated into the unit on the first day of entering the barracks.

The work of the headquarters battalion is not difficult, but it is very cumbersome and miscellaneous.As a subsidiary unit of the group army-level administrative agency, from the personnel staff who assist the deputy commander in handling personnel work, to the barbers and shoe repairers in the supporting service facilities in the base, all are managed by the headquarters battalion!

And there are so many officers and staff officers of all kinds, mixed with this group of staff officers who don't have a leader, Carter suddenly feels that his job arrangement seems to be pretty good, at least, the security platoon leader has a leader anyway, doesn't he?
The next afternoon, after dealing with the office articles, Carter also followed the guard company commander to meet his soldiers.
Thirty-eight soldiers, including platoon sergeants and signal soldiers, stood in a row in front of Carter.On the faces of many soldiers, the word "perfunctory" was visible to the naked eye.
In this regard, Carter is too lazy to say anything.
After a brief self-introduction, Carter announced the disbandment, leaving only the sergeants in the platoon.
"Sergeant Major Yarrow, and everyone, tomorrow is the weekend, are you free? I'm new here, and I believe that inspections or duty tasks will not be assigned to our platoon this week. Go out for a dinner together on the weekend, and I will arrange it!"

Although the various supporting facilities in the Yongsan base are quite complete, outside the barracks is the colorful Itaewon. Who would want to stay in the barracks for dinner? !

And Carter's speech did not exceed the expectations of these veterans.second lieutenant?Also a second lieutenant from ROTC.
It's so normal to want to play right after leaving school!
If it was an ordinary infantry platoon, some thorns would jump out and explode. However, in the platoon of this kind of organization, even if you don't like the hairless new officer like Carter in your heart, But a dozen or so sergeants, including the platoon sergeant chief, expressed their gratitude and echoed.
After seeing this scene, Carter was convinced that this group of people was also a group of little foxes!

Two days passed in a flash. On the weekend, after eating and singing, I looked at a group of sergeants who were blushing from drinking and praising someone for their righteousness. At least they cooperated with their work, so it was no problem!
The guard platoon is not a combat platoon, and there is usually no chance to participate in drills.What Carter asked for was nothing more than a peaceful life.
At the same time, Carter also received the news of the specific content of the G10 Finance Ministers Meeting held in Tokyo!
James Baker, the new finance minister, really fits his diode personality.Compared with last year's U.S.-Japan talks, Treasury Secretary Reagan was so strong that he "guangguang" smashed the table, and Treasury Secretary Baker used his cheekiness to the extreme!

Don't talk about being strong, in the phone call with the old finance minister, according to the old finance minister's meaning, the Baker finance minister almost kneels down to Takeshita
The news from Michio Yasuda also mentioned a very interesting thing: According to the description of the guest who worked at the Planning and Investigation Department of the Ministry of Finance, at the internal meeting of the Ministry of Finance, Takeshita Noboru once said with great emotion: "World War II Since then, the United States has always been on top of us. But Secretary Baker bowed his head deeply to me and begged: "Please, Minister Takeshita, the United States needs your help." Everyone, the United States needs our help, but We also need the presence of the United States. At this moment, the United States is so embarrassed that it bows its head to Japan for help, and we Japan must help it."

After comparing the information on the two sides, Carter, who was sitting in the office, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
As expected of a guy who was born as a lawyer, what is this face. What is face? !

As for Toshi Takeshita's high-sounding words, Carter can only understand them as: On the one hand, after the powerful Secretary of the Treasury Ronald Reagan has repeatedly slapped his face, Japan has already understood that the United States is determined to adjust the exchange rate this time, and Japan is powerless. On the other hand, under the circumstances of being unable to resist, the already fragile self-esteem was flattered by Minister Baker
Who the hell said this is a "financial black ship"? !This is obviously Japan helping the United States!It is a "gentleman's move" made by Japan on its own initiative for the friendship between the United States and Japan! !
Compared with having no face left after talking with Secretary Reagan, talking with Secretary Baker can at least save face!

"What are you laughing at? Did something happy happen?"

Just when Carter was feeling the wonders of the world, in the big office, a lieutenant sitting at the table next to Carter suddenly smiled and turned his head to talk to Carter.

"Hahaha, indeed something interesting happened, Lieutenant Mattis."

"Oh? Is it convenient to ask what is a good thing?"

"Have you finished your work?"

"Hey, there's nothing to be busy with. The monthly fuel consumption is not bad. The Korean side doesn't dare to tamper with our fuel supply. If it's not out of responsibility, I don't need to review any supply and marketing documents at all. Just sign it."

"That's right, I'm done with my work here. Is anyone free? Let's go out and have some coffee together!"
