The Pentagon suddenly ordered the U.S. military worldwide, all senior generals to return to the country, and Trump himself was caught in the drum?
U.S. Secretary of Defense, or “war secretary” Hertz, recently issued an astonishing order asking senior U.S. military generals worldwide to return home for meetings next week.
The order has raised widespread concerns among senior U.S. military officials.
According to informed persons, those who were asked to attend by Hegel included all of the adjunct generals in command positions and above, senior officers of equal ranks in the Navy and their senior soldier advisors.
However, this order does not apply to senior officers in staff positions.
Even so, considering the U.S. army’s various kinds of generals, there are about 800 people in total, and are widely distributed around the world. With the order of Hertz, it is likely that hundreds of U.S. generals are ready to move.
Moreover, with their advisors and followers, there is no small chance that the total number of attendees to the meeting will exceed 1,000.
There is no doubt that this is really extraordinary. Some insiders of the US military mentioned that he had never encountered this situation before.
So the question is, what exactly does Hegseth want to do with such a big fanfare?
Regarding this most critical issue, the top leader of the US military did not disclose any information.
What needs to be emphasized is that this failure to disclose any news does not mean just that it has not been disclosed to the outside world, but that those senior US military generals who received the notice of the meeting do not know what Hegseth is going to do.
This sounds absurd, but it is true.
Some U.S. military insiders questioned that this arrangement was wrong because you can’t massively gather the world’s senior generals without telling them what the meeting was about.
Someone else was unconscious, wondering if this meant that all the generals should now be withdrawn from the Pacific?
Some people are even worried that once something goes wrong, the command power will be weakened.
I'm afraid the word "something is wrong" here has more than one meaning. First, if an accident breaks out in other parts of the world when these senior US military generals gather in the United States, then the US military may not be able to respond with full preparations at the first time.
One step at a time, one step at a time, and if the situation is not contained immediately, the situation may become more and more difficult.
The second meaning may be related to the personal safety of these senior generals.
If there are really some mindless people breaking down the barrier layer, or uncontrollable unexpected events, these senior U.S. military gathered together, there may be the risk of being "at the end of a pot."
Although this risk is extremely low, even negligible, the risk exists after all.
What worried these U.S. generals was whether Hegerseth would not hold the next “Golden Gate Party.”
After Trump came to power, the new U.S. administration began cleansing up the top of the U.S. military in May, when Heidegger called for the cut of about 100 senior generals.
As of now, a group of senior U.S. military generals such as the Chairman of the Joint Conference of the U.S. Army Chief of Staff Brown, Navy Operations Secretary General Frankie Katie, Commander of the Coast Guard General Fagan, Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff General Sleeve, and Defense Intelligence Agency Director Lieutenant-General Cruz have been dismissed.
There are two layers of logic for the Trump administration to do this. One is to reduce redundancy. They claim that there are "too many" senior generals in today's US military. The second is to rule out the influence of Trump's "left-wing thoughts" on the US military.
Of course, there’s another thing Trump won’t say, which is to ensure the military’s absolute loyalty.
During his first term, Trump's relationship with the top leaders of the US military was not good. Milley, then chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, also did what Trump saw as a "betrayal".
Now that Trump is making a comeback, it is natural to ensure that his generals are obedient, at least there is no "opposition".
In this context, the practice of commanding global American generals to gather together is inevitably associated with Hegel.
It has been speculated that whether Hegelseth wanted to take this opportunity, what "loyalty test", for those who are not satisfied with the results, can be taken directly on the spot.
After all, "when the generals are abroad, military orders are not accepted." For those generals who are overseas, Hegseth has to go through the procedures if he wants to do anything. But by recalling them to the mainland, many things will be easier to handle.
Sources confirmed that Hegseth's order had caused chaos in the Pentagon. Some people are worried about whether there will be a large-scale dismissal.
However, since Hegseth didn't reveal any information, there was still no accurate answer to what he was going to do.
Per this U.S. Defense Secretary, really a big strategic adjustment, needs these senior generals on-site listening. after all, Trump has stressed that the "Department of Defense" is outdated, the United States needs the "Department of War" to win the war.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Hegseth staged a drama of "bonfire drama princes". In fact, there is nothing wrong with it, just to highlight the core position of the Trump administration.
More interestingly, Trump doesn't seem clear about Hegseth's decision. When answering related questions, he seemed to think that his defense chief was inviting foreign officers to attend the meeting.
Seeing this situation, Vice President Wans of the side hurried to intervene, ended the topic, said that the generals first report to the Minister of Defense, the Minister of Defense report to the President is very normal, the media hyped this matter so greatly, "it is strange."
Then another question arose, Wans is not clear about this matter? considering that there is indeed a “little group” in which Trump is not present, Wans is also normal to hear the sound of the wind.
However, for the related questions, the external speculation at the present stage is not much meaningful.What drugs sold in the Hegersith hose, there will be an answer soon after.
