In the first round, Jiang Chen gave Trump the opportunity to make the first move.
Looking at his plate of sugar cubes, Trump pondered for a moment, and finally chose a relatively conservative topic and threw it on the negotiation table.
"The agreement on the withdrawal of the UA troops stationed in Nippon is canceled, and Celestial Trade withdraws its troops from Nippon."
"Very good." Jiang Chen nodded and smiled. "NATO and North Colombia guarantee the dissolution of the independence treaty and the withdrawal of troops from Colombia. If you think these two proposals are equal, then we can enter the betting session. "
Trump picked up two sugar cubes from the porcelain plate, weighed them in his hand for a long time, and finally made up his mind. He slapped the two sugar cubes on the table and answered Jiang Chen with action.
"It's your turn."
Jiang Chen smiled and did not hesitate at all. He took out three sugar cubes from the porcelain plate and placed them on the table.
Trump's pupils contracted slightly as he stared at the three sugar cubes.
After a long silence, he suddenly said.
"Can I add more chips?"
"Of course," Jiang Chen smiled. Jiang Chen smiled. "I've said this game is to help us reach a consensus, not to create differences. Based on the amount of the other party's bet, both parties could add an unlimited amount of chips to the minimum value. There is only one thing that must be noted, that is, the chips that have been added cannot be taken back. "
After hesitating for about five minutes, Trump finally took out two chips from the porcelain plate, placed them next to his original two chips, and then looked at Jiang Chen.
"It's your turn."
Jiang Chen smiled, reached out, and took the four sugar cubes from Trump.
"Deal."
Trump watched the four chips fall into Jiang Chen's plate, and he opened his mouth.
He suddenly regretted it.
"The tripartite agreement between the UA troops stationed in Nippon is revoked, and Celestial Trade withdraws from Nippon within half a year. Remember this, "Jiang Chen looked at the assistant who had been standing next to him and gave a simple order. Then he looked at Trump and smiled." I'm very happy that our negotiations have made the first step. "
"Stop talking nonsense, it's your turn," Trump said with inexplicable irritation.
Jiang Chen smiled, took out a sugar cube from the porcelain plate, put it on the table, and repeated the proposal that was not passed in the previous round.
"Repeat the proposal. NATO withdraws its troops from North Colombia and gives up its asylum to the North Colombian regime …"
…
Just as the UA was conducting a state visit to Xin, on Wall Street on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, inside the Morgan Group building, two old men in suits were sitting on the sofa in the reception room and watching the curved screen hanging on the wall.
"… President Trump's visit to Xin has reached the most critical stage. Just half an hour ago, Trump went from the state banquet venue to Future Building to exchange opinions with the president of Celestial Trade on space issues and regional situation issues. The outside world is generally pessimistic about this meeting. Next, let us invite our commentator on the international situation, Zefonaia of the Peterson Institute of International Economics, to interpret for us … "
The first stop of the diplomatic visit was Xin, which was the first campaign promise Trump fulfilled after taking office. The UA was closely watching whether Trump could reach a consensus with Celestial Trade on international issues as he promised in the campaign and solve the mess left by the previous government.
The old man in the gray suit suddenly smiled, crossed his legs on his knees, and picked up a bottle of red wine from the table. He poured the wine into the two goblets on the table while speaking casually in a leisurely manner.
"My dear Mr. Rockefeller, what do you think of this diplomatic visit?"
"Do you want to hear the truth?" Rockefeller said.
"Of course."
"I hope he can mess up this meeting, but I don't want him to mess it up too completely," Rockefeller said with a smile.
"It seems that we have the same idea again."
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
Although North America's arms giants were huge, in terms of technical strength, there was still a big gap with Future Military. Whether it was Lockheed Martin or Boeing Integrated Defense Systems Group, whether it was air defense missiles or fighter jets.
If the UA wanted to catch up with Future Group, it needed not only investment but also time.
Others might not be able to see this, but as the two giants in the military-industrial complex, Morgan and Rockefeller must be able to see it clearly.
For them, the best situation was to have another cold war.
The two sides were seriously opposed economically and militarily, but there was a safe distance between them and war. Just like when the UA and the Soviet Union fought for hegemony, orders flew to military factories like snowflakes, and all arms dealers made a lot of money. By then, with orders from the Pentagon, it was possible to eventually catch up with Future Military.
"What do you think we should do if they succeed?" Looking at the news on the TV screen, Rockefeller said with a smile, "Although this probability is very small, we can't rule out this possibility."
"I've prepared a second plan." Morgan smiled faintly.
"Oh?" Rockefeller glanced at Morgan with a smile.
"Mike Pence, have you heard of this person?"
"Of course." Rockefeller laughed, "That's our Mr. Vice President."
As one of the earliest advocates of the "Tea Party", Mike Pence was very similar to Trump in one point. That was, both sides belonged to the mainstay of the conservatives, the Republicans of the Republicans, and the Bald Eagles of the Right.
Pence served as the Governor of Indiana and the Chairman of the Republican Caucus of the House of Representatives. He was known for implementing economic policies that favored the rich and big business. His political views of supporting tax cuts, cutting benefits, and using this as a way to solve the economic downturn and employment problems coincided with Trump's. Only on the two issues of immigration policy and trade protectionism did the two sides have certain differences.
If one had to find a clear difference between the two presidents, it might be that compared to the "talkative" Trump, the former governor was more like a qualified politician. He was cautious in his speech, tactful in handling matters, and "more disciplined" in doing things.
Unfortunately, however, the person who was more like the president became the mascot, and the person who was more like the mascot eventually became the president.
When Rockefeller heard his ally suddenly mention the name Mike Pence, he was taken aback for a moment, and then a look of realization appeared on his face.
"You mean …"
"I hope our president is a 'smart man', otherwise I can only say that life is always full of too many accidents." Morgan smiled and picked up a champagne from the table, then he raised it from afar, "In any case, let's toast to the prosperity of Wall Street."
Only under one circumstance would the Vice President become the president.
It was not as if such a thing had never happened before in history.
Rockefeller's mouth curved up, and he picked up the glass from the table.
"Cheers!"
The swaying wine was as red as fresh blood …
