An advisor was actually the same as a military advisor.
The aides of the presidential palace were naturally responsible for national affairs.
They had a clear division of labor and each had their own duties.
Some were in charge of the economy, some were in charge of diplomacy, some were in charge of the military, and some were in charge of the people's livelihood.
In short, if the president wanted to make a decision, he would usually first discuss it with his aides.
After all, the president wasn't God. He had his own temper and would act on impulse.
Therefore, the presence of aides could prevent the president from making the wrong decision.
Now, this matter had reached the point where Clayton had to call his aides over to discuss it.
Otherwise, all the major newspapers and television media would probably say that the navy and army generals had led the soldiers to demonstrate the next day.
At that time, not only would he lose face as the president, but the entire world would also see the Americans as a joke.
However, when the aides arrived at the presidential palace, they heard that the two generals were actually arguing over this matter.
In the end, they even went to the Congress to demonstrate. They were also dumbfounded.
This was too much of a joke.
For a few thousand guns, he actually had to bring people to the parliament building to demonstrate.
If he really did that, it would be a wonderful show for the people of the world.
"I think there's still room for negotiation. After all, it's just a matter of thousands of guns.”
"Well, according to the price quoted by the Far East International Arms Manufacturing Group, 5,000 Saboteurs anti-material sniper rifles are worth 125 million US dollars. It's not much, but it's not much either.”
"Although it's not much compared to the military expenditure, the problem now is no longer just 5,000 guns and military expenditure. It's a matter of face.”
" Yes, your analysis is correct. The Congress wants to reduce the purchase of 5,000 Saboteurs anti-material sniper rifles, but now the Army and Navy are unwilling to take a step back. Because if anyone takes a step back, their morale will be greatly reduced and they will lose face.”
"In that case, why don't the president lobby the Congress?”
"Well, that's the only way."
After saying that, they looked at Clayton at the same time.
"F * ck!"
After hearing that his aides had discussed and discussed, but in the end, he still had to lobby the Congress, Clayton couldn't help but roll his eyes.
What's the use of me raising a bunch of trash like you?
In the end, I still have to solve the problem myself.
Don't you know that the last thing I want to see is those old guys in Congress?
In the end, for the sake of thousands of guns, I, the president, have to persuade a bunch of old men.
At the thought of this, Clayton could not help but feel angry.
"Sigh, scram, scram. What's the use of having you guys? Seriously, all you know is to find trouble for me.”
Upon hearing this, the aides looked at each other, shrugged, and walked out of the presidential palace helplessly.
They couldn't do anything about President Clayton's dissatisfaction.
On one side was the real power of the army and navy.
On one side were the members of Congress who had the right to speak.
The other was the most powerful president of the United States.
Tell me, what can a bunch of aides do?
They were all big shots, and they could not afford to offend any of them.
If they could, they could only choose to let the president down.
After all, the president was one of them, and they were doing this for the president's own good.
Even if the president held a grudge against them, it would only be a matter of time.
When the president encountered any troubles or troubles, the previous unhappiness would be thrown to the back of his mind and forgotten.
After the aides left, Clayton sighed and picked up the phone.
He wanted to discuss this matter with the House of Representatives.
After all, if the two high-ranking officials of the army and navy really led the troops to demonstrate, the consequences would be very serious.
Moreover, a demonstration was not a protest, much less a rebellion.
Therefore, even if they were soldiers, they would still be able to survive.
However, the political axe could only stand guard at the side like they did to ordinary protestors to prevent the situation from expanding.
If they used violence to suppress the demonstration, the consequences would be unimaginable.
.........
House of Representatives.
"Everyone, I'm not joking. Once the situation reaches that stage, it will become unsalvageable. Do you really want to make things so big?”
"This…"
Hearing Clayton's words, the Speakers of the House of Representatives also had helpless expressions.
They didn't do anything wrong. They just wanted to save some military expenses for the country.
After all, 25,000 dollars for a Saboteurs anti-material sniper rifle was really a little expensive.
Moreover, the total number of military supplies purchased by the army and navy had reached 25,000, which would cost 625 million US dollars.
This sum had already exceeded the amount of money the army spent on purchasing guns.
Of course, they weren't against the Army and Navy purchasing Saboteurs anti-materiel sniper rifles.
They all knew that this gun was powerful and had a long range.
They just wanted the navy and the army to discuss and take a step back to reduce the total purchase of 5,000 sniper rifles. It was that simple.
In the end, this decision was like lighting a bomb. It exploded at the slightest touch. This was something they would never have expected.
(If everyone really wants me to add more updates, how about this? Each of you will send a piece to urge me to update. Please don't send too many. If there are more, I will panic. I will see how many more pieces there are. If there are more, I will add more on top of the flowers.)
