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 the interview.

.

What kind of number is this? 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-US 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 program made ABC executives very happy and strengthened their belief. To create a flagship program on current affairs and politics, let Alice be the host.

Because of an interview, Alice's fate changed. It was largely thanks to Mr. Bao, who invisibly changed the career plan of a beautiful host.

The success of the ABC talk show made the other two companies very angry. At this time, the other two executives were being criticized by the board of directors, and they still did not dare to refute it.

This is the first time in the history of American media companies that the boards of directors of NBC and CBS have cast a vote of no confidence in the CEO of their own company. Not only that, ABC Radio and Television Company’s programs also affect the top leaders of the United States. President Reagan also just finished watching the program, and as a busy man,

It is really not easy for a head of state of a major country 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 allows him to be on this TV show?"

William Joseph Casey; the 11th Director of the CIA and the current Director. It is generally considered that his 6 years in the CIA were the 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 was not only an admiral, but also the former director of the CIA. If he dared to send someone to monitor him, then it would undoubtedly be

Broken the rules.

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

Seeing the aggrieved look on William Casey's face, Reagan didn't know what to say. After all, he didn't even have the right to send people to monitor the admiral, the former director of the CIA. Doing so would inevitably lead to conflicts between the two parties, and neither party could afford the other.

anger.

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 military commander."

A senior naval officer, 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 propaganda, that was the following matter.

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

As for warning ABC Radio and Television Company, William Casey also thought about it. But he immediately gave up the idea. If he really dared to do this, ABC Television Station would probably report it tomorrow. Then the only thing waiting for him was to resign, on the grounds of violating the United States

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 formal job, there would be no time to appear 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 vacant, he 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 at a loss. What does the president mean? He is just an intelligence chief. He only has the right to make suggestions, and at most he can make some decisions on the report. Now it is about the position arrangement of a general, William

-Casey wouldn't dare give any specific advice.

But when the president asked, he couldn't answer nothing. At this moment, he was in a dilemma. Perhaps silence was the best choice.

Seeing William Casey, the director of the CIA who had intimidated his enemies, standing there like his little daughter-in-law. Reagan felt very funny, and at the same time he also knew the opponent'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 asked you to come here.

Help me share my worries, not let you stand anywhere."

"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.

The 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 possesses 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 in the Western military camp after World War II. It is the extension and development of the Marshall Plan in the military field, allowing the United States to control the military forces led by Germany and France.

The EU defense system 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 the heads of state, senior government officials, foreign ministers, and defense ministers of the member states. It is 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 through some local wars. NATO can

It is 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 the United Kingdom and France in Western Europe,

A total of 11 countries including Portugal and Italy signed the North Atlantic Treaty in Washington. After all countries completed the ratification procedures in August of the same year, NATO was officially established. The Warsaw Treaty Organization was established in May 1955, and it was a trigger for its establishment.

The then West Germany (Federal Germany) joined NATO in May 1955. More than ten days later, most European socialists, including the Soviet Union, jointly 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 occupies a strong position. Now let an admiral with CIA status serve as commander-in-chief. How will the Soviets feel? Before they understand the intentions of the Americans, they will definitely not dare

act rashly.

The more Reagan thought about it, the more he felt that the plan was feasible; and Turner would certainly not object to this position and would definitely take it.

Afterwards, Admiral Turner will definitely follow Reagan's lead and tell him directly not to participate in similar TV programs again, but he still doesn'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 some changes."

Knowing that the president had already made a decision, William Casey didn't say anything. He felt in his heart that Admiral Turner's life was actually quite good, and that the last TV show was not all bad. Could he consider retiring, with this in his mind?

With this idea in mind, William Casey left the White House.
