After visiting Country F, John Kerry was not in a hurry to negotiate with Jiang Chen. Instead, he returned to see Moro's President Santos, as well as Country F's former mayor of Quezon City and current transitional government president Baudista.
However, based on the informants arranged by Ghost Agents on both sides, Kerry did not achieve any ideal results in the talks.
Especially the current president of the transitional government. Although Kerry made a lot of tempting promises, promising to help Country F solve the MLL Island problem, help Country F rebuild its economy, help … and so on, Baudista was still unmoved and clung to the thigh of Celestial Trade.
Are you kidding me? Not to mention that their troops have not withdrawn from City M, even if they have withdrawn, when have the Americans ever cashed their checks?
Baudista was very clear that Country F's problem was not well received by the Capitol and Congress. The UA needed Country F to balance the rising Hua, so it issued these checks. However, the Jewish consortium controlled the economy of Country F, and the WASP consortium with an advantage in Congress did not intend to honor the checks issued by the Capitol due to political needs …
At this time, if the transitional government still continued the previous diplomatic strategy of clinging to Nippon and the UA, it would be insane.
Finally, on the third day of Kerry's visit to City M, he went to the Hilton Hotel with the sign changed to "Celestial Trade City M Office". Under the guidance of a Celestial Trade soldier, he came to the reception room and met Jiang Chen.
Leaning on the sofa, Jiang Chen smiled at Mr. Kerry, who walked into the room, and joked.
"Long time no see, Mr. Kerry, how have you been recently?"
Jiang Chen's joke made Kerry a little awkward, because he made almost no progress in the past three days.
"Not bad, hehe." However, he was experienced. Even if he was embarrassed, he didn't show it on his face. He sat across from Jiang Chen with a smile, looked at the bottle of red wine on the table, and changed the topic with a relaxed tone, "… Romanée-Conti, good lord, I heard the price is comparable to the weight of gold. I've only seen it in Hollywood blockbusters."
"1945, 600,000 US Dollar." Jiang Chen gestured to the waiter next to him to open the cork and poured a glass for each of them. Then he looked at Kerry and smiled, "When Hilton sold this hotel to me, it also transferred all the wine in the cellar to me. It just so happens that China has a tradition of welcoming distinguished guests with good wine. Since we have distinguished guests visiting today, how can we not have good wine? "
"I drink such expensive wine. I'm afraid it's not appropriate. "
"It doesn't matter. This is not Washington." Jiang Chen raised his glass and made a toast to him from afar. "So, you don't have to do what you do in Washington here. Just say what you want to say."
"Then I'll get straight to the point." In the end, Chris didn't touch the glass of wine. He retracted the smile on his face and assumed a serious posture. "What exactly do you want?"
"What do you want?" When he heard Kerry's question, Jiang Chen suddenly laughed. "You mean, I started this war?"
"Mr. Jiang Chen, since you want me to be straightforward, then let's not beat around the bush." Kerry shook his head. "You and I both know that I'm not talking about this war."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes.
"How 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 glass in his hand and spread his hands.
"This is not a problem at all, because it is absolutely impossible for us to remove those missiles."
"Your missiles seriously threaten the stability of the regional and even the global situation! If you don't intend to trigger a new round of arms race, I advise you to seriously and responsibly consider this issue! Not — "
"Then in order to maintain love and peace, why don't you give up all nuclear weapons? I also ask you to seriously and responsibly consider my proposal. "Jiang Chen interrupted Kerry's words and said with a smile.
Jiang Chen's words made Kerry pause for a moment. He didn't expect Jiang Chen to throw out such indecent words to stop him.
After a moment of silence, Kerry sorted out the thoughts in his mind and slowed down his tone.
"The unilateral abandonment of nuclear weapons by the UA will not have a positive impact on the global situation. Instead, it will backfire and accelerate the deterioration of the global situation. In addition, we are now discussing the EMP and the intercontinental missiles deployed in the Pacific. Please don't talk about these irrelevant things. "
"Really? In my opinion, the two are completely the same thing. " Jiang Chen laughed. "If you are not willing to give up nuclear weapons, then what reason do you have to ask us to give up the EMP? With all due respect, the EMP is much safer and more environmentally friendly than nuclear weapons. "
"But in terms of danger, the two are of the same level," Kerry said word by word. Kerry said word by word, "If you refuse, then we will deploy B2 bombers to the Guam military base."
However, to Kerry's surprise, Jiang Chen did not respond to his threat.
Silence lasted for a long time between the two.
After waiting for a long time, Jiang Chen saw that Kerry didn't speak, raised his eyebrows, and broke the silence.
"And then?"
And then?
Jiang Chen's words made Kerry stunned.
I already told you, if you don't withdraw the missiles, we will place strategic bombs in front of your door. What's there to say?
Of course, he couldn't say it so bluntly.
Kerry coughed, then continued.
"It seems that Mr. Jiang didn't understand what I meant, so I will explain in detail. The B2 bomber is the stealth strategic bomber that the UA military is proud of. It's not convenient for me to say more about this bomber. What I can reveal can be found on the Internet. I will only emphasize one point, the B2 bomber has nuclear strike capabilities, you should understand what I mean. "
Jiang Chen smiled.
"I thought you were going to say something else. If a few B2 bombers can make you feel safe, then you can just drop them in front of our door."
"You're not afraid?" Kerry couldn't help but ask.
"Why should I be afraid?" Jiang Chen sat up straight and leaned forward slightly. "It makes no difference to us where your nuclear bombs are placed. I believe you are absolutely familiar with the M.A.D. mechanism. After all, this is the theory proposed by the UA people. "
The M.A.D. mechanism, or "mutually assured destruction", was proposed by the UA Secretary of Defense McNamara during the Cold War. Although it had been officially denied, it had to be admitted that this mechanism had always been the idea of using nuclear weapons during the arms race between the UA and the Soviet Union, and it was even used to this day.
If one day in the future, the UA used nuclear weapons against Xin, then Celestial Trade's EMP would undoubtedly make the UA return to the Stone Age overnight.
In this case, where the UA placed its nuclear weapons, how much of an impact would it have on Jiang Chen?
Looking at Kerry's nervous expression, Jiang Chen changed to a slightly more relaxed tone.
"Peaceful development and friendly exchanges, this is the consistent diplomatic stance of Xin. And as the guardian of Xin, Celestial Trade promises that EMP weapons will only be used for defense and counterattack, and will never be used for aggressive purposes. "
Here, Jiang Chen looked at Kerry and continued.
"If you insist that we give up EMP weapons, then please set an example and destroy all nuclear weapons. Otherwise …"
At this point, Jiang Chen laughed and didn't say anything else.
Although he didn't finish the last sentence, the meaning he expressed at the moment was already very clear.
… Otherwise, then go back to Capital with your double standards!
