After visiting the Philippines, John Kerry was not in a hurry to negotiate with Jiang Chen. Instead, he met with Moro President Santos and Baudista, the former mayor of Quezon City and current president of the transitional government of the Philippines. .
However, according to the reactions of informants arranged by Ghost agents on both sides, Kerry did not achieve any desired results in the talks.
Especially the current president of the transitional government. Although Kerry has issued many tempting checks, promising to help the Philippines solve the Mindanao problem, help the Philippines rebuild its economy, help... and the like, Baudista still does not do it. Moved, he clung to the thigh of Xinghuan Trading.
Just kidding, not to mention that the troops are still in Manila and have not been withdrawn. Even if they have been withdrawn, when have the checks written by you Americans ever been cashed
Baudista knows very well that the Philippine issue is not well received either in the White House or in Congress. The United States needs the Philippines to check and balance the rising China, so it writes these checks. However, it is mainly the Jewish consortium that controls the Philippine economy. The AP consortium, which has an advantage in Congress, does not intend to cash the check issued by the White House due to political needs...
At this time, if the transitional government continues its previous diplomatic strategy of clinging to Japan and the United States, it will be fooled.
Finally, on the third day of Kerry's visit to Manila, he made no progress and had to go to the Hilton Hotel whose sign had been changed to "Star Circle Trading Office in Manila." Under the leadership of the Xinghuan trade soldiers, they came to the reception room and met Jiang Chen.
Leaning on the sand, Jiang Chen looked at Mr. Kerry who walked into the house with a smile, and joked.
"Long time no see, Mr. Kerry, how have you been lately?"
Jiang Chen's teasing made Kerry a little embarrassed, because he had made almost no progress in the past three days.
"Not bad, haha," but he was a veteran after all. Even if he was embarrassed, he didn't show it on his face. He smiled and sat across from Jiang Chen. He turned his eyes to the bottle of red wine on the table and spoke in a relaxed tone. started the topic, "...Romanee-Conti, good guy, I heard the price is comparable to the same weight of gold, I have only seen it in Hollywood blockbusters."
"Produced in 1945, US$60,000." Jiang Chen motioned to the waiter next to him to open the cork, poured a glass for the two of them, then looked at Kerry and smiled, "When Hilton handed over this hotel to me, by the way, He also transferred all the fine wines in the cellar to me. It just so happens that China has a tradition of welcoming distinguished guests with fine wines. Today we have distinguished guests visiting us, so how can we miss out on the fine wines?"
"I drink such expensive wine. I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate."
"It doesn't matter, this is not Washington." Jiang Chen picked up the wine glass and made a clinking motion towards him, "So, you don't need to bring the Washington stuff here, just say what you have to say."
"Then let me get straight to the point and ask." In the end, without touching the glass of wine, Kerry suppressed the smile on his face and assumed a serious posture, "What do you want?"
"What do you want?" Hearing Kerry's question, Jiang Chen suddenly smiled, "You mean, I started this war?"
"Mr. Jiang Chen, since you want me to speak frankly, let's not beat around the bush." Kerry shook his head, "Both you and I know that I am not referring to this war."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.
"How on earth are you willing to remove the missiles deployed under the Pacific Ocean?" Kerry stared into Jiang Chen's eyes.
The atmosphere in the reception room gradually cooled down. Jiang Chen put down the wine glass in his hand and spread his hands.
"It's not a problem at all because there's absolutely no way we can remove those missiles."
"Your missiles seriously threaten the stability of the region and even the global situation! If you don't intend to trigger a new round of arms race, I advise you to consider this issue seriously and responsibly! Instead of-"
"Then in order to maintain love and peace, why don't you give up all nuclear weapons? I also ask you to consider my proposal seriously and responsibly." Jiang Chen interrupted Kerry and said with a smile.
Jiang Chen's words made Kerry pause for a moment. He didn't expect that Jiang Chen would throw out such rogue words to block him.
After pondering for a long time, Kerry organized his thoughts in his mind and spoke in a slower tone.
"The unilateral abandonment of nuclear weapons by the United States will not have a positive impact on the global situation. On the contrary, it will be counterproductive and worsen the global situation. In addition, as for the matters we are discussing now and the issue of your intercontinental missiles deployed in the Pacific, please do not Talk about these irrelevant things.”
"Really? In my opinion, the two are completely the same thing," Jiang Chen said with a smile, "If you are unwilling to give up nuclear weapons, then what reason do you have to ask us to give up EP? With all due respect, EP is better than nuclear weapons It’s much safer and more environmentally friendly.”
"But in terms of risk, the two are on the same level." Kerry said word for word, "If you refuse, then we will deploy 2 bombers at the Guam military base."
However, to Kerry's expectation, Jiang Chen showed no reaction to his threat.
Silence lasted for a long time between the two.
After waiting for a long time, Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows when he saw that Kerry was silent and broke the silence.
"Then what?"
Then
Jiang Chen's words stunned Kerry.
I've told you, if you don't withdraw the missiles, we will drop strategic bombing on your doorstep, what else do you want next
Come to think of it, of course I can't say it so straightforwardly.
After coughing slightly, Kerry continued.
"It seems that Mr. Jiang did not understand what I meant, so I will explain it in detail. The 2 bomber is a stealth strategic bomber that the US military is proud of. It is not convenient for me to say more about this bomber. Everything that can be disclosed is online. It can be found. I just want to emphasize that the 2 bombers have nuclear strike capabilities. You should understand what I mean."
Jiang Chen smiled.
"I thought you were going to say something. If a few 2 bombers can make you feel safe, then you can just throw them at our door."
"Aren't you afraid?" Kerry couldn't help but asked.
"Why should I be afraid?" Jiang Chen sat up straight and leaned forward slightly, "It makes no difference to us where you put your nuclear bombs. I believe you are familiar with the AD mechanism. After all, this is your United States. Theories put forward by people.”
The .ad mechanism, or "Mutually Assured Destruction," was proposed by US Secretary of Defense McNamara during the Cold War. Although it has been officially denied, it has to be admitted that this mechanism has always been the idea of using nuclear weapons during the arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union, and it is even still used today.
If one day in the future, the United States uses nuclear weapons against a new country, then the Star Ring Trade ep will undoubtedly bring the United States back to the Stone Age overnight.
In this case, where are the U.S. nuclear weapons placed, and how much impact will they have on Jiang Chen
Seeing Kerry's nervous look, Jiang Chen changed his tone to a slightly calmer tone.
"Peaceful development and friendly exchanges are the consistent diplomatic stance of the new country. As the guardian of the new country, Star Ring Trade promises that EP weapons will only be used for defense and counterattacks, and will never be used for aggressive purposes. On purpose.”
Having said this, Jiang Chen looked at Kerry and continued.
"If you insist on asking us to give up EP weapons, then please set an example and destroy all nuclear weapons, otherwise..."
Having said this, Jiang Chen chuckled and said no more.
Although he didn't finish the last sentence, his meaning at the moment was already very clear.
... Otherwise, go back to Washington with your double standards! (.)8
