Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

When ABC executives got the ratings data, they couldn't believe their eyes. It actually reached an astonishing 35%, which means that as long as ABC can cover it, more than one-third of the people watched this interview.

What a number this is, it is the same as the Super Bowl finals in the United States, and the ratings are higher than the finals of any other sports academy event. Even the presidential inauguration did not have such high ratings.

ABC Radio and Television can cover more non-U.S. areas than any other TV program. It seems that people are also concerned about current affairs and politics, but they have not found the point that attracts the public before.

The popularity of the show made ABC executives very happy and strengthened their belief. To create a flagship program on current affairs politics, let Alice be the host.

Because of an interview, Alice's fate changed. To a large extent, thanks to Mr. Bao, the career plan of a beautiful host has been changed invisibly.

The ABC talk show was a huge success, much to the chagrin of the other two companies. At this time, the other two senior executives were accepting criticism from the board of directors, and they still did not dare to refute that kind of criticism.

The boards of directors of NBC and CBS cast votes of no confidence in their own CEOs, which is the first time in the history of an American media company. Not only that; ABC Radio and Television Company’s programs also influence high-level officials in the United States. President Reagan also just finished watching the program. As a head of state with many things to do, it is not easy to watch a program in its entirety.

Turning off the TV, Reagan turned to William Joseph Casey and said, "What does Turner want to do? Who allowed him to be on this TV show?"

William Joseph Casey; the 11th Director of the Central Intelligence Agency; and the current Director. It is generally believed that his six years in the CIA were his second peak after Allen Dulles.

However, William Joseph Casey was also in a state of confusion at this time. The CIA was mainly responsible for espionage in foreign countries. Admiral Turner is not only a Navy admiral, but also the former director of the CIA. If you dare to send someone to monitor him, you will undoubtedly break the rules.

William Joseph Casey is not that bold yet, after all, he has time to retire. Keep a line in your life so that we can meet again in the future. Today he can monitor his predecessor, but after retirement tomorrow, will his successor monitor him?

Seeing William Casey's aggrieved face, Reagan couldn't say much. After all, not even he had the authority to send someone to spy on the admiral, the former director of the CIA. That will inevitably lead to conflicts between the two parties, and neither party can bear the anger of the other.

Reagan smiled and said: "I don't mean to blame you. Admiral Turner's identity is too impressive. This time he didn't say anything that affects the national strategy. There's no guarantee that he won't next time. We still have to persuade him. He is a A senior admiral in the Navy, not a commentator."

As for Fu Liming, Reagan didn't say much. After all, he had already agreed to introduce some situations in China to the public. As for what means to use for publicity, that is the following matter.

William Casey: "Admiral Turner has no specific position now, and it is not a good idea to warn his predecessor. Can the President find something for him to do so that he will not have so much free time to participate in TV shows?"

As for warning ABC Radio and Television, William Casey also thought about it. But he immediately gave up this idea. If he really dared to do this, ABC TV station would probably report it tomorrow. Then all that is waiting for him is to resign on the grounds that he violates the U.S. Constitution and undermines the public's right to know.

Reagan felt that what William Casey said was very reasonable. A warning would be counterproductive, so it was better to give Admiral Turner a specific job. With a real job, there is no time to be on the TV screen.

But the position of General Turner is not easy to arrange. After all, this old boy served as the commander-in-chief of NATO forces in Southern Europe. If the official position given is too small, or the official position is too free, people will definitely not take it.

Reagan: "Director Casey, what position do you think would be more appropriate for General Turner?"

After hearing what Reagan said, William Casey was a little overwhelmed. What does the president mean, he is just an intelligence chief. It only has the right to make suggestions, and at most it has some decision-making power in submitting applications. Now when it comes to the position arrangement of a general, William Casey dare not give any specific suggestions.

But when the president asked, he couldn't just answer nothing. It can be described as a dilemma at this time, and perhaps silence is the best option.

I saw William Casey, the director of the CIA who had intimidated his enemies, standing there like a little daughter-in-law. Reagan found it very funny and at the same time understood the other party's difficulties.

Reagan said with a smile: "It's just the two of us here, don't have any restrictions. Everything we do is to serve the United States, not for personal gain."

That being said, there are only a few people who can actually do it. Seeing that William Casey still didn't speak, Reagan said impatiently: "You are the director of the CIA, and you have to make suggestions to the president on some issues. I called you here to help me share my worries, not to ask you to stand somewhere."

"Any guard can do this job well. There is no need for you, the director of the CIA, to be a guard."

William Casey knew he couldn't escape, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "Admiral Turner's position is too high, and it is difficult to arrange it at this moment. The job cannot be lower than the previous position; otherwise he will definitely not do it. But it is better than before. High-ranking positions are all core leaders of the military."

"If you want to satisfy the other party, there are only two positions that are more suitable. Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Navy, or Commander-in-Chief of NATO Allied Command Europe. Or even higher, you can only be the Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff Contact Conference, in which case you will definitely not agree."

When talking about the Commander-in-Chief of NATO's European Allied Forces, Reagan's eyes lit up; in his mind, General Turner's appointment to this position might have unexpected effects.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, referred to as NATO, is an international organization established by European and North American countries to achieve defense cooperation.

NATO has a large number of nuclear weapons and conventional troops and is an important military force in the West. This is a symbol of the strategic alliance among the Western military camps after World War II. It is the extension and development of the Marshall Plan in the military field. It allows the United States to control the EU defense system headed by Germany and France. It is a symbol of the United States' achievement of superpower leadership.

NATO's highest decision-making body is the NATO Council. The Council is composed of heads of state, senior government officials, foreign ministers, and defense ministers of the member states. Headquartered in Brussels, the capital of Belgium.

NATO was established because two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, competed in technology, armaments, diplomacy, and outer space in order to seize world hegemony. At the same time, the two superpowers also competed with each other through some local wars. NATO can be said to be a continuation of the "Marshall Plan", the European recovery plan implemented by the United States after World War II. In order to control Western Europe in the military field, in April 1949, the United States, Canada, and 11 Western European countries, including the United Kingdom, France, Portugal, and Italy, signed the North Atlantic Treaty in Washington. After all countries completed the approval procedures in August of the same year, NATO was officially established. The Warsaw Pact was established in May 1955. One of the triggers for its establishment was the then West Germany (Federal Germany) joining NATO in May 1955. More than ten days later, most European socialists, including the Soviet Union, signed the Warsaw Pact in Warsaw, the capital of Poland.

At this point, with the establishment of two major military organizations, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization headed by the United States and the Warsaw Pact headed by the Soviet Union, it marked the official beginning of the Cold War-style military confrontation between the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union.

Turner's qualifications and prestige are sufficient to serve as Commander-in-Chief of NATO's European Allied Forces, and he can also act as a deterrent.

At this time, in the competition between the United States and the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union still held a strong position. Now let an admiral with CIA status serve as commander in chief, how will the Soviets feel? Before figuring out the intentions of the Americans, they certainly would not dare to act rashly.

The more Reagan thought about it, the more he felt that the plan was feasible; and Turner would definitely not object to this position and would take it without hesitation.

Afterwards, Admiral Turner will definitely follow Reagan's lead; he directly told the other party not to participate in similar TV programs again, but he didn't immediately agree to such a trivial matter.

Reagan seemed to have made some kind of decision and said with a smile: "Director Tessey, General Bernard Rogers, Commander-in-Chief of NATO Allied Forces in Europe, has been in office for four years. It seems that it is time to make a move."

Knowing that the president has made a decision, William Casey is not saying anything. I felt in my heart that Admiral Turner's life was actually quite good. The last TV show was not all bad. Should he consider retiring? With this thought in mind, William Casey left the White House.

Some people drank too much, so please understand!
