Situated in the AbrahamwestPentagon, Middle EastCommanderOffice, GeneralGawaineeye of passes the flamelooks that not far awaythatis holding appreciatively the sailing shipmodel, the mannercarelessyoung men.
位于亚伯拉罕西部五角大楼,中东司令官办公室,加韦恩上将目透火焰的看着不远处那位正在把玩着帆船模型,神态吊儿郎当的青年男子。„MichaelWood! Is thisyouranswer? Isyoudefies the military order, attacks the reason of NasarMandalayarbitrarily?”
“迈克尔・伍德!这就是你的答案吗?是你违抗军令,擅自攻击纳萨瓦城的理由?”„Thensituation, what to do can Ialso? Generalmister. IfSayeed Abdullahthispersonwere arrestedby the BabylonRepublic, thatis the internationalscandal. At that time was not only I, wasgeneralmisteryou, bymeeting a cruel death that thisbombexploded! Unlikeyourhere, that sideCIAseveral, butappreciatestomydecisiveness.”
“当时的情况,我还能怎么办呢?上将先生。赛义德・阿卜杜勒这个人如果被南巴比伦共和国逮捕,那将会是国际丑闻。那时候不但是我,就是上将先生您,都将被这炸弹炸的粉身碎骨!与您这边不同,中情局那边的几位,可是对我的果断赞赏有加。”„That does not usebecause ofthemthat side the presidentsustains the pressure.”
“那是因他们不用在总统那边承担压力。”GeneralGawainehas bit the dregs the cigarterminalquickly: „After you can definitely wait till for 12hours, wewalk the procedure/program that the applicationattacks. Butdoes not uselike the present, thatarmy chief of staffmisteralmostpattedon the documentmyface.”
加韦恩上将已经快把雪茄末端咬成渣:“你完全可以等到十二小时后,我们走完申请攻击的程序。而不用像现在这样,那位陆军参谋长先生几乎就把文件拍到了我的脸上。”„After 12hours ? Whoknows that whatwill have?”
“十二个小时后?谁知道会发生什么?”MichaelWoodlaughs in spite of trying not, arrives in front ofGeneralGawaineto sit down: „Generalmister, currentlythismatterIhave the mistake, butyoualsoknow that thensituationwas urgent? Thatis not the unforgivablematter.”
迈克尔・伍德一声失笑,走到加韦恩上将面前坐下:“上将先生,现在这件事我有错,可您也知道当时的情况非常紧急是吗?那并不是什么不可原谅的事情。”„ButyourgrabbinginNasarMandalay? Somepeoplereportedto the inspector-generaloffice,showedat that timeat least the cash and gold of 900 milliongolden Shield, were integrated the belt-bagsbyyouwith some military officers of seventhbrigadejointly.”
“可你们在纳萨瓦城的劫掠呢?有人向监察长办公室举报,证明当时至少有九亿金盾的现金与黄金,被你与第七旅的部分军官联手纳入腰包。”„Nomatter.”
“没有的事。”MichaelWoodthatonelegendonyoungexcessiveface, without the ashamedmeaning of least bit: „Thisistomyshame! Generalmister, as far as I know, theyhave no evidenceto identify, that side the CIAalsoguaranteedformethereinspector-generalmister.”
迈克尔・伍德那就一位传奇而言年轻的过分的脸上,没有半点的羞愧之意:“这是对我的羞辱!上将先生,据我所知,他们没有任何证据指证,中情局那边也在监察长先生那儿为我担保了。”„Butweare clearwhat's the matter!”
“可我们都清楚是怎么回事!”Complexion of GeneralGawaineYinclearuncertain, finallylaughs: „Youthink after thissense of principlewrongly, but can also treat asnothing happened?”
加韦恩上将的脸色阴晴不定,最终一声嗤笑:“你以为这种原则性错误发生之后,还可以当做什么都没发生?”He a document, handedMichaellaterin front ofWood, the lattermetafter the handonlylooked atone, raised the eyebrow: „Being transferred to another postcommand? A month laterreturns to the Pentagonto hold an office , is kicked upstairsthatset? Thisis unfairtome.”
他随后就将一份文件,递到了迈克尔・伍德面前,后者接在手中之后只看了一眼,就扬了扬眉:“调职令?一个月后返回五角大楼任职,又是明升暗降那一套?这对我不公平。”„Verysorry, Iam helpless.”
“很抱歉,我无能为力。”GeneralGawainethatvelamenhebit the cigar, threw the trash candirectly: „Whatis responsible for the high-ranking military officersbeing promotedisthesecivilian postbureaucrats in thisbuilding, butnow, youoffendedthemruthlessly. Isuggested that youbest are dormantfor a while, untiltheythink that youhave tamed.”
加韦恩上将把那根被他咬碎了的雪茄,直接丢到了垃圾桶:“负责将官升迁的是这栋大楼内的那些文职官僚,而现在,你把他们得罪狠了。我建议你最好是蛰伏一阵儿,直到他们认为你已经驯服。”
After threeminutes, MichaelMajor GeneralWoodgoes outfromthisMiddle EastCommanderOffice, hisadjutantVirginiacaptain, firstwelcomed. Heremains silent, followed of blindly following suit, until after two peoplego out of the Pentagon, asks the outcome: „Major generalmister, it seems likesituationnottoowonderfulright? Ihearyouto quarrelininside, the entireflooris the roaringsound of GeneralGawaine.”
三分钟之后,迈克尔・伍德少将从这件中东司令官办公室走出的时候,他的副官弗吉尼亚上尉,第一时间就迎了上来。他保持沉默,亦步亦趋的跟随,直到两人走出五角大楼之后,才开口询问究竟:“少将先生,看来情况不太妙对吗?我听到你们在里面争吵,整个楼层都是加韦恩上将的咆哮声。”„Blustered, didlookstoabove.”
“虚张声势,做给上面看而已。”AlthoughMichaelis saying, butonfacemanysomehelplesscolor: „A month later, Imustbe transferred to the Defense Logistics Agency, is the deputy of auditing department. dog shit, what do Iunderstandam the audit? Imustlook for a newmaster, Virginia.”
迈克尔虽是这么说着,可脸上多少还是有些无奈之色:“一个月后,我得调任国防后勤局,担任审计部门的副主管。狗屎,我懂什么叫审计?我得找个新东家了,弗吉尼亚。”„Major general? Youreallymustleave the army, leaves the seventhbrigade?”
“少将?您真的要离开军队,离开第七旅?”In the Virginiacaptaineyesappears the sadandannoyinglook: „Ihad saidbefore, Michael, youdidunscrupulously, at leastmustwait till the explicitauthorization of joined chief staff conference.”
弗吉尼亚上尉眼中现出难过与懊恼的神色:“我之前说过的,迈克尔,你做得太肆无忌惮了,至少得等到参谋长联席会议的明确授权。”„ThereforeIam the punishment is deserved.”
“所以我是罪有应得。”Michael the response of Wood is actually very light: „Don't makeexpressionOK that thisskycollapses? Servesintheseprivate enterprises, Iat leastcanfrank and uprightmoney-making, be more than time the present. Knows? The Easthaswordsto be calledto obtain a sought-after object, Inowamthis. Youthink after thatmatter, will above have myposition? ThereforeVirginia, Icannot treatsooner or laterin the army.”
迈克尔・伍德的反应倒是很平淡:“你别做出这股天塌下来的表情OK?在那些私人企业服务,我至少能够光明正大的赚钱,比现在多很多倍。知道吗?东方有句话叫做求仁得仁,我现在就是这样。你以为那件事情之后,上面还会有我的位置吗?所以弗吉尼亚,我在军队里面迟早还是待不下去的。”
The Virginiacaptainsurfaceis helplesspresently, musttakefacingthisdecidingmaking moneyas the firstpreferredboss, hereallyhas no alternative.
弗吉尼亚上尉面现无奈,面对这种打定主意要以赚钱为第一优先的上司,他是真的无可奈何。Afterhehears‚thatmatter’these words, the lookisslightlyonegloomy, indeed, thisin the army, trulydoes not have the futureas Michael said.
而当他听到‘那件事情之后’这句话,神色更是微微一黯,的确就如迈克尔所说的,这位在军队里面,确实已经没有前途可言了。Althoughthreeyears ago thatthunderbolt, Michaelsaved the lives of 700officers, the prestigein the seventhbrigadeslight increases, actuallytouchedreverse scale of Pentagonmanygreat people. compares, thisseventhbrigadeattacks the action of NasarMandalayarbitrarily, seems notanything.
尽管三年前的那次突发事件,迈克尔拯救了700将士的生命,在第七旅当中声望高企,却触动了五角大楼许多大人物的逆鳞。相较而言,这次第七旅擅自攻击纳萨瓦城的举动,似乎都不算什么。Thereforehisbossmeritorious military serviceis even if countless, steps intoat the 45-year-oldageto the legendaryboundary, stillmarksinmajor generalmilitary rank.
所以哪怕他的上司战功累累,以45岁的年龄踏入到传奇境界,也依然在少将这个军衔上原地踏步。„Then under Michael, youdid find the homenow?”
“那么迈克尔,你现在找到下家了?”Hethinksoneselfboss, ifreallycannot stayin the army, thenheandmanycolleagues, will chooseto followwithout hesitation.
他想自己的上司如果在军队中真的呆不下去,那么他与许多同事,都会毫不犹豫的选择追随。„Severalbigcompanieshave invited, butIhad not agreed. The salarytreatment that althoughtheyprovideis very beckoning, but the positioncannotmakemesatisfy.”
“有几个大公司邀请过,不过我没同意。虽然他们提供的薪金待遇很让人心动,可位置不能让我满意。”MichaelWoodis shaking the head, marched intohisprivate car: „Iplanned that Atlantahas a look, that sidehas the rising sunretailcompany, theyalsolack a chiefsafety officernow.”
迈克尔・伍德摇着头,步入了他的专车:“不过我打算到亚特兰大去看看,那边有个旭日零售公司,他们现在还缺一个首席安全官。”„Rising sunretailcompany?”
“旭日零售公司?”
The being puzzledmeaning of howeverVirginiacaptainwhole face: „Verybigcompany, haven't Iheardcompletely?”
弗吉尼亚上尉满脸的惑然之意:“很大的公司,我完全没听说过?”„Youhave not certainly heard, got uprecently, it is saidseveraldays ago justobtained900 milliongolden Shieldfinancing of Michelle Group.”
“你当然没听说过,是最近才起来的,据说几天前刚得到米歇尔集团的九亿金盾融资。”MichaelWoodlifted the handsto put outsomepublicationsfrom the dispatch case, gaveownadjutant: „Is that Imark.”
迈克尔・伍德抬手从文件袋中拿出了一些报刊,递给了自己的副官:“就是我标记的这家。”Virginiareadcarelesslyturned, becausehisbosshas planned the key point, hesoonfound the correspondingcontent.
弗吉尼亚草草翻看了一翻,由于他的上司已经规画好了重点,他很快就找到了相应的内容。„Only has the companies in dozensshops, did Michaelyoudetermine? Thisis incompatiblewithyourstatus, how can I say, seemed like the dragonto enter the mousenest, youby your colleagueswill be ridiculed, major generalmister. AndreLiWildenstein? If good of but actuallyWildensteinfamily, butin the newspapersaid that hecannotbeWildenstein, hewas repelledbyhisallclansmen.”
“一家才只有几十家门店的公司,迈克尔你确定?这与你的身份不符,怎么说呢,就好像是龙进了鼠巢,你会被你的那些同事嘲笑的,少将先生。安德烈・李・威尔顿斯坦?如果是威尔顿斯坦家族的倒还好,可报纸上说他不能算是一个威尔顿斯坦,他被他的所有族人排斥。”„Nowis bad, butin the futureperhaps.”
“现在是差了点,可未来就说不定了。”Michael the Woodlip angleselects: „Whattheyoperateis the electric appliancechain-like, is selling the profitseveralelectric appliancebrandcentralismtogether, merelyis17shops that the presentstart doing business, dailynet profitalreadyover6 milliongolden Shield.”
迈克尔・伍德的唇角微挑:“他们经营的是电器连锁,把好几家电器品牌集中在一起售卖盈利,仅仅是现在开业的十七家门店,每日的纯利润就已超过六百万金盾。”„ButIfeelthispattern, competitionveryintenseright?”
“可我感觉这种模式,竞争会很激烈的对吗?”Virginiacaptainhas the sharpvisionobviously: „Particularlyremoteexpands. EMMIfeltthem, even ifin the Atlantalocal area, withoutpowerful strength, verydifficulthaltingfootsteps.”
弗吉尼亚上尉显然有着犀利的眼光:“尤其是异地扩张。EMM我感觉他们哪怕是在亚特兰大本地,如果没有强大实力的话,也很难站住脚步。”„Security chief who thereforetheyneed a powerful, Iplannedfirstto have a looktoAtlantato sayagain.”
“所以他们才需要一位强力的安全主管,我打算先到亚特兰大看看再说。”MichaelWoodis looking in the handanothernewspaper, thatis located in the Li Mochenpicture of headlineposition, in the eyeappearswipes the blazingmeaning: „Knows? Somefriendstoldme,thislittle fellownamedAndre, hehas a meteorology of King!”
迈克尔・伍德看着手中另一张报纸,那位于头条位置的李墨尘照片,眼中现出一抹炽热之意:“知道吗?有朋友跟我说,这个名叫安德烈的小家伙,他拥有一位王者的气象!”„Ha? Kingmeteorology?”
“哈?王者气象?”Virginiacaptainvacant of face, is completely perplexed.
弗吉尼亚上尉一脸的茫然,完全不明所以。
