Chen Geng didn't go around in circles, and said directly: "Nuclear disarmament." ”

"What?!"

Howard Baker's eyes widened instantly: "Mr. Fernandez, you mean...... It's ......"

"That's right," Chen Geng nodded: "If the democratic world and the Soviet Union reach a nuclear disarmament agreement under the wise leadership of Mr. President, will it help Mr. President's current situation?"

"Yes, of course!"

Howard Baker nodded frantically, as the newly appointed chief of staff of Reagan's classmates, what is Howard Baker's responsibility? Isn't it just to help Mr. President make suggestions and resolve the crisis, in this era when the whole world is shrouded in nuclear clouds, if Mr. President can really reach a mutual nuclear disarmament proposal with the Soviet Union, what is the previous Iran-Contra incident?

And the president who can resolve this big @ trouble, no one is the best president.

To put it mildly, if Mr. President is really able to reach an agreement with the Soviet Union on mutual nuclear disarmament, I dare not say that he will be able to get rid of the current troubles immediately, at least most of them will be removed, and the remaining little troubles will not be difficult to clean up. It's just a matter of ......

"Mr. Fernandez, you should know how big of a deal this is, are you sure you're not joking?" Taking a deep breath, Howard Baker asked Chen Geng in a deep voice.

Chen Geng nodded affirmatively: "I know the nature of this matter very well, and I will not make such a joke with a respected Mr. President." ”

"I see," Howard Baker gave Chen Geng a deep look, before he still didn't understand why his predecessor, Mr. Donald Thomas Reagan, repeatedly told him to maintain a good relationship with Fernandez Chen when he handed over the work to him, and now, he somewhat understood: "Please wait a minute, have a cup of coffee first, and I will tell Mr. President the news immediately." ”

"Okay. ”

Chen Geng nodded leisurely.

As for the question of whether Mr. President has time at this time...... It's about whether you can sit firmly in your seat, not to mention that you don't have time, even if you are about to visit abroad, Reagan has to push off this visit first.

As a matter of fact, after learning that Chen Geng might actually help promote nuclear disarmament with the Soviet Union and help himself get out of the current predicament, it only took half an hour for Chen Geng to become a guest of Reagan's classmates.

What was a little unexpected for Chen Geng was that in the reception room, Chen Geng not only met Reagan, but also met Reagan's wife, Nancy. Chen Geng greeted the couple politely: "Hello Mr. President, hello Mrs. ”

The "Irangate" time had a great impact on the couple, although Nancy's face was covered with delicate makeup, but her complexion was not very good, but despite this, Nancy nodded politely to Chen Geng: "Hello Mr. Fernandez." ”

"Mr. Fernandez, please be seated," compared to Nancy, Reagan's complexion is even worse, even if the White House royal makeup artist helps him cover his flaws, it can't stop his thick dark circles and droopy eye bags, it can be seen that he has been very anxious and sleeps poorly during this time.

Under the double pressure of poor sleep and inner anxiety, Reagan's mood was not very good, and he didn't go around in circles with Chen Geng, and asked directly: "Just now Howard told me that you can promote the nuclear disarmament of the Soviet Union?"

Chen Geng glanced at Howard Baker in surprise, and then shook his head: "To correct it, it is not commonly known as the unilateral nuclear disarmament of the Soviet Union, but there is an opportunity to promote the joint nuclear disarmament of the United States and the Soviet Union." ”

Let the USSR unilaterally pursue nuclear disarmament?

Are you kidding!

“......”

Reagan-san fell silent.

It was his wife, Nancy, who suddenly asked, "Mr. Fernández, why do you think that the Soviet side is also interested in promoting this matter?"

Nancy's question immediately attracted the attention of Reagan and Howard Shell: Yes, why is the Soviet Union willing to cooperate with us in promoting nuclear disarmament?

Or to put it more simply, the Soviet side is not unaware of the difficult situation of Mr. President, so why does he still help us, help us in disguise?

"That's a good question," Chen Geng bowed slightly, "I don't know how much more intelligence power our United States has in the Soviet Union, and I'm not sure if the White House knows about Mr. Gorbachev's current situation......

"Where is Mr. Gorbachev now?" Howard Baker asked, surprised, "what is his current situation?"

"Let me give you an example, you will understand: I saw the relationship between the fire in the Daxinganling area of China in a shopping mall in Moscow, and I am very concerned about this matter, and I also very much hope to be able to provide some help to the Chinese side within my ability......

Hearing Chen Geng talk about the fire in Daxinganling, whether it was Reagan's classmates, Mrs. Nancy, or Howard Baker, they all subconsciously increased their attention, and they all understood that Chen Geng was also giving an explanation for why he pushed China and the Soviet Union closer to the White House and the entire American high-level concern.

"I arranged a liaison on my side through the KGB of the USSR...... That's the guy who came with me to the U.S. this time...... Through the channel of the KGB, I asked the Soviet government whether I could help China extinguish the forest fires and rescue the trapped people in the fire area at my own expense and by leasing Soviet fire-fighting planes and helicopters.

Speaking of this, Chen Geng paused slightly, took a breath, and said, "But you definitely can't imagine what happened."

Before that, I had met with a number of high-ranking government officials of the CPSU and the Soviet government, I was in Moscow, and I went through the channel of the KGB, but three days later, my letter had not yet reached the Kremlin. ”

And such a thing?!

Reagan, Mrs. Nancy, and Howard Baker looked at each other, and the eyes of all three of them were incredulous: What are you kidding, if Fernandez Chen was in distant Siberia at the time, but this is in Moscow, this is KGB, how could such an outrageous thing happen?

"It's outrageous, isn't it? I'm also incredulous," Chen Geng said, "Three days later, I contacted Mr. Gorbachev's deputy head of office and assistant for international affairs, Mr. Valentin Starievich, and that led Mr. Gorbachev to make the decision to support Huaxia." ”

I see!

Although there are many things that Fernandez Chen didn't say, whether it is Nancy, Reagan or Howard Baker, they are all human beings, and through Chen Geng's words, they immediately realized a very tricky problem for Gorbachev: Mr. Gorbachev, the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, who had just been in power for less than two years, did not sit firmly in the position of general secretary of the CPSU at all!

Even the KGB in Moscow is like this, you can imagine the system of government, the army, the financial system of the USSR...... What kind of attitude was there to Gorbachev's coming to power.

And what is the first priority for any new leader?

It is not about developing the economy, developing people's livelihood, and consolidating national defense, but about consolidating one's own position and letting the country have only one voice, that is, its own voice.

This is no exception in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.

But the Soviet Union, the CPSU has become a monolith, and what if Gorbachev wants to consolidate his position?

Simple, if you can't find a breakthrough from the inside for the time being, then look for a breakthrough from the outside.

This move to help Huaxia extinguish the fire seems to be helping the Soviet Union's former little brother and wanting to ease relations with Huaxia, but in fact it is Gorbachev who is looking for a breakthrough: internally, looking for a breakthrough in controlling the army, and externally, he intends to consolidate his position and make his voice heard through the development of relations with Huaxia.

From this point of view, Reagan and Gorbachev are actually a pair of difficult brothers, since they are difficult brothers, neither of them is better than the other, so naturally they need to support each other and help each other - it is also a coincidence that both of them have encountered this kind of difficult situation at home and need to find an external breakthrough.

In that case, then what else is there to say.

Reagan was visibly relieved: "Mr. Fernandez, thank you very much for this valuable information. ”

By implication, these things are really useful to me.

"You're welcome," Chen Geng smiled slightly: "This is what I should do." ”

Nancy, however, suddenly asked, "Mr. Fernandez, I have a question. ”

Chen Geng nodded slightly: "Madam, please speak." ”

"We have a general idea of Mr. Gorbachev's situation in the Soviet Union, but how do you judge that Mr. Gorbachev is willing to work with us on nuclear disarmament?"
