[Shocking! The UA's manned rocket landed on Mars and encountered them …]
[Scared sh * t! The President of the United States is furious in his office, and it's because …]
[Men will be silent, women will cry. If you don't change your mind, you are not an UA …]
"What kind of nonsense is this manuscript you guys are writing?" Jiang Chen threw the original copy on the table and jokingly scolded, "I asked you to do indirect propaganda, why did you write this crap?"
"Ahem, we have recently acquired a very promising company." Ning Huajian, the CEO of Future Technology, touched his nose awkwardly. "I found that their editor was too creative, so I just put them in the publicity department … Isn't the click rate high?"
Ning Huajian seemed to feel embarrassed, so he coughed, pulled out the next few documents from the stack, and pointed to the top. "In fact, it's normal to have a title. This was edited by the people in the news department of Future Technology. Look at these …"
[The latest aerial photos of the Expedition, NASA's Mars landing spacecraft is suspected to be besieged by Martian creatures …]
[Unfortunate victims, victims of the hasty Mars landing plan …]
[According to a ministerial figure of Celestial Trade, Celestial Trade once made cautious suggestions to the UA on the danger of Devil Worms and the Mars landing plan …]
These titles were considered normal. At the very least, they explained the whole incident from beginning to end.
As early as when the Ares entered the Mars synchronous orbit, the Expedition discovered this group of "stowaways". After listening to Calvin's report, Jiang Chen's opinion was the same as his, which was to ignore them.
Sure enough, just as the UA was busy planting the flag, a tragic thing happened.
Because of the communication delay, Celestial Trade's Space Command Center received the news even five minutes earlier than the UA itself.
When Calvin told Jiang Chen about the trapped Ares, Jiang Chen immediately issued instructions. Through the North American branch of Future Technology, before the UA government ordered to block the news, Jiang Chen edited the images taken by the Expedition and released them.
On the other hand, Celestial Trade sent the high-definition aerial images taken by the Expedition to the Capitol and the UA media through the Xin Embassy in the UA.
At this moment when the UA was paying attention to the Mars landing plan, such a tragic incident occurred. Jiang Chen didn't know what damage it would cause to the UA's national cohesion and national self- confidence. He only knew that the UA government would definitely find him.
Ask for help from the Celestial Trade Marines stationed on Mars.
After Ning Huajian left, Jiang Chen lazily leaned against the chair in the office.
Of course this person was saved.
After all, it was out of humanitarian considerations.
However, it wasn't cheap to raise seven more people in the Mars colony. What kind of benefits would they get from the White House?
Just as Jiang Chen began to seriously consider this problem, the phone on his desk rang.
However, it was not from the White House, but from an old friend of his in Boston …
"Mr. Loki, what brings you here?" Looking at the name of the contact on the holographic screen, Jiang Chen smiled.
"Haha, my old friend, let's put aside the small talk for now. I have something important to discuss with you." With excitement in his tone, Loki paused for a moment and went straight to the point. "I know what you're planning, but please listen to me first. The failed Mars landing plan. This is a great opportunity for us! "
"Oh?" Jiang Chen quietly looked at the holographic screen and waited for him to continue.
"Now the entire UA is paying attention to this incident! You should know what I'm referring to, "Loki said.
"Of course," Jiang Chen said.
It was nothing more than seven UA people trapped on Mars.
Now they were huddled inside the damaged Ares, shivering, waiting for someone to rescue them.
"If this incident is handled well, it can reverse the tense diplomatic relationship between the UA and Xin, and even completely change the UA's view of Celestial Trade. Since you agreed to our plan, you must not be prepared to fight us to the end and let the world return to the Cold War era. "
"Yes." Jiang Chen shrugged and smiled. "We have always been committed to maintaining good cooperative relations with other countries, but the White House seems to have always regarded us as a thorn in its side."
"That's because Hill is now sitting in the president's position, the representative of the military-industrial complex!" Loki said seriously, "But we are different. If you have studied the history of the UA, you should know that our B City Consortium has the same position as you. For example, President Kennedy's decisions were, to a certain extent, representative of our opinions. For example, the space program, the Nuclear Weapons Limitation Treaty, and the withdrawal plan that was not completed until he was unfortunately killed … "
Loki seemed to know something about the death of President Kennedy, but he obviously did not intend to elaborate on this irrelevant issue.
"You know, we have always opposed the strategy of returning to the Asia-Pacific and support the UA's participation in the Earth Defense Alliance. As long as Joseph Kennedy comes to power, the first thing he does is to fulfill his seventh campaign promise! Unconditionally join the Earth Defense Alliance. "
At this point, he changed into a serious and excited tone.
"This Ares incident is an excellent opportunity. If handled properly, it can become a political bargaining chip for us to defeat the Morgan Consortium and Kerry! As long as Joseph Kennedy acts as a lobbyist, as long as you cooperate appropriately … "
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Chen crossed his fingers on his knees and said.
"I'm sorry to interrupt you. Can the UA candidate represent the UA in foreign affairs? I remember that Mr. Kennedy is just a local councilor. Isn't it a bit … against the rules to intervene in federal affairs? "
"In principle, no." Loki smiled. "But as long as it is done properly, there are exceptions to everything. Mr. Kennedy also has another identity. He is an alumnus of Ares Captain Braith and is an honorary member of the Boston University Alumni Association. If he visits Celestial Trade as a member of the Boston University Alumni Association, a close friend of the victims, and a local councilor, no one can criticize his visit. "
"Then …" A smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face.
"Then the future president of the UA and the president of Celestial Trade will have a great conversation." Loki also had a bright smile on his face. "The hands of the two giants will hold together, tear down the Iron Curtain of the Pacific Ocean, and welcome the future of human civilization together!"
That sounded like a pretty good idea.
If it could really be achieved.
Jiang Chen nodded thoughtfully and his fingers gently tapped on his knees.
Pushing a dove, or at least a weak hawk, candidate to the throne of the UA president had always been one of the strategic directions of Celestial Trade, Future Group, and Ghost Agents on the UA issue. President Kennedy in history was a famous weak hawk president during the Cold War era … although he carried the "curse" of a short life.
Since the Kennedy family was a member of the interest alliance of the B City Consortium, and the B City Consortium was not part of the military-industrial complex led by the Morgan and Rockefeller families, the political views of Kennedy Jr. and his grandfather should not be far apart.
It was to add chips to Joseph Kennedy and bet that a dove president would push the UA into his alliance.
Or should he use this bargaining chip to threaten the troubled Hill government in exchange for benefits that can be cashed immediately?
In fact, there was no need to choose.
The answer was obvious.
"What's your opinion?" Loki asked calmly.
Jiang Chen loosened his hands and said softly.
"You'd better keep your promise."
"Of course!" Loki said seriously.
"Then let your dealer prepare to deal the cards." Jiang Chen stood up from the chair, looked at the holographic screen, and said pleasantly, "If you want to play, let's play big. We'll call."
