As senior politicians, Howard Baker and Reagan were silent, silently digesting the information in Chen Geng's words, which is really amazing, in order to maintain his rule, Gorbachev is willing to reduce the Soviet Union's nuclear arsenal!

After nearly 30 years of frantic expansion, the nuclear arsenals of the United States and the Soviet Union have been enough to restart the earth thousands of times, which is certainly a powerful deterrent to the adversary, but at the same time, this state of "oversaturated" nuclear arsenals is actually far beyond the actual needs: is there any essential difference between being destroyed once and being destroyed 1,000 times? Can a person who has been destroyed once still be reborn and resurrected?

Moreover, such a large nuclear arsenal, not only can not increase the security of the country, but will increase their respective economic burdens, as the president of the United States, Reagan naturally knows how much the United States spends every year on the maintenance of the nuclear weapons arsenal, this is still maintenance funds, in addition to the cost of updating nuclear weapons, research and development of new nuclear weapons, these costs add up, a huge amount every year, if this number is cut by half, no, even if it is reduced by one-third, One-tenth, a huge reduction in the pressure on the U.S. economy.

"The United States has always been unswervingly committed to maintaining world peace," after digesting the message in Chen Geng's words after a while, Reagan finally spoke: "If Mr. Gorbachev is willing to work with the United States for world peace, I am personally very happy that Gorbachev can come to the White House as a guest." ”

Chen Geng understood what Reagan meant, and immediately said: "I will convey your goodwill to Mr. Barbachev, and I firmly believe that Mr. Gorbachev will respond to your kindness with kindness." ”

This is the promise to Reagan that he will act as a bridge between the two.

Reagan was very satisfied with Chen Geng's promise, and immediately reciprocated: "Mr. Fernandez, what you have done is of great significance to maintaining world peace, and I cannot describe my gratitude to you, but in the future work, I will do my best to facilitate you." ”

The implication is that as long as you can help me get through the hurdle of "Iran Gate", we are brothers, and if you need help, you can just ask, and I will definitely help if you can.

Of course, he didn't expect Reagan to open the door to himself for this effect, and that was not realistic, but as long as he could get Reagan to say something that was equivalent to "I owe you a favor", it would be worth it - there was nothing to lose to himself anyway.

........................

Coming out of the small living room, Kelly Hicks, Statham, and Lalefort were already waiting outside, and when they saw Chen Geng, they all came up to say hello: "Boss." ”

"Hello everyone. Chen Geng nodded.

Statham, who was Chen Geng's head of security, took the initiative to say without waiting for Chen Geng to speak: "Boss, your convoy is already waiting outside. ”

"Okay. Chen Geng answered, and at the same time looked at Howard Baker on the side.

Knowing what Chen Geng's eyes meant, Howard Baker took the initiative to say: "That Soviet friend of ours is waiting for you outside." ”

Chen Geng was a little worried: "You haven't done anything to our Soviet friend...... Well, Mr. Baker, you know what I mean, don't you?"

Anyway, this guy also brought it himself, and if he was "greeted well" by the US intelligence services, how ugly would his face be?

Of course, Howard Baker understood what Chen Geng meant, it was nothing more than whether the FBI had done something "not very friendly" to the Force Holmdorov, and he said with certainty: "Of course not, since Mr. Holmdorov came to the United States with you through the regular procedures, as long as he did not violate American law, we will not do anything to him, and Holmdorov was very happy to taste our coffee, steak and doughnuts just now." ”

It means that Alexander Kholmdorov was sent directly to a reception room, where he was served with good food and drink, but he was not allowed to touch anyone.

Chen Geng breathed a sigh of relief.

Although there is nothing secret about what can be seen in the White House, even if the White House is regularly open to the public, with the almost neurotic defense of opponents during the Cold War, Alexander Holmdorov is unlikely to step into the door of the White House.

What Chen Geng didn't expect was that as soon as his motorteam left the White House, the car phone rang, Kelly Hicks picked it up and said a few words, then handed it to Chen Geng in surprise, and whispered: "It was Mr. Samuel Skinner calling." ”

At the same time, Kelly Hicks whispered to Chen Geng: "Mr. Skinner is Vice President Bush's chief of staff. ”

This phone call was made to himself by Comrade Bush Sr.'s chief of staff?

Chen Geng was a little surprised: Doesn't that mean that this phone call was instructed by the current US Vice President Comrade Bush Sr.?

Yes, the current Vice President of the United States is someone we know very well: Comrade Bush Sr., yes, the father of Comrade Bush Jr.

Surprised to surprised, Chen Geng quickly took the phone: "Hello, Mr. Skinner." ”

"Hello Mr. Fernandez," Samuel Skinner said politely on the phone, "are you convenient now? Mr. Vice President would like to meet with you." ”

Comrade Bush wants to meet with him?

Chen Geng was a little surprised: What's the matter? Did you Sr. Bush arrange for someone to squat at the gate of the White House, and call me immediately after seeing me come out of the White House? Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental?

While muttering in his heart, Chen Geng agreed quickly: "This is my honor...... Now?"

"If it's convenient for you now," said Samuel Skinner, "Your Excellency the Vice President is now waiting for you at the official residence." ”

Chen Geng: "......"

What else can Lao Tzu say? You're waiting in the mansion, can I not go?

No matter how much is the "spare tire", is it also the vice president?

He happily responded: "OK, I'll go over right away." ”

Chen Geng did not avoid Alexander Holmdorov during the whole phone call, so this guy's eyes were straight when he listened: As soon as he came to the United States, the president and vice president of the United States rushed to meet Fernandez Chen?

........................

The convoy then turned around and headed towards No. 1 Observatory Ring Road.

It was Comrade Alexander Holmdorov who was a little pitiful and was left behind by Chen Geng halfway - Chen Geng went to see His Excellency the Vice President, of course, it was impossible to take him with him - Chen Geng asked Statham to arrange a person to accompany the poor boy around Washington, and when he came back from Comrade Bush, everyone would take a private jet back to Detroit.

Many people will subconsciously think that the vice president is also working in the White House, which is actually wrong, although the vice president is the president's "spare tire", but this "spare tire" is a spare tire that may be turned positive at any time, and it also has the dignity of a spare tire.

It's just that compared with the White House, which has a construction area of up to 5,100 square meters, the construction area of the vice president's residence is only 850 square meters, which is very much in line with the image of the vice president as the president's "spare tire" in the United States.

So where is the vice president's official residence?

Also in Washington, of course.

The White House is located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., and the vice president's official residence is called "One U.S. Navy Observatory", and the house number is 1 Observatory Loop.

Of course, as the world's largest number one "spare tire", the White House is indispensable for a vice president's official office, and it is at the west end of the west wing of the White House, only a few rooms away from the president's Oval Office, but usually the vice president does not go to this office, and works in his official residence - this is understandable, even if it is a spare tire, it has the dignity of a spare tire, not to mention the number one spare tire in the world today.

Comrade Bush Sr. attached great importance to Chen Geng's arrival!

To what extent do you pay attention to it?

Comrade Bush Sr. and his wife, Barbara Bush, personally waited at the gate of the official residence to greet Chen Geng and his entourage.

Comrade Bush Sr.'s extraordinary enthusiasm made Chen Geng feel a little flattered: This brother is not only the current vice president of the United States, but also the next president of the United States, and this brother has given birth to a bunch of good sons, one of whom is the next president of the United States......

But he is more vigilant in his heart!

As the saying goes, courtesy must be asked for by others, this guy is so enthusiastic about himself, what is he asking for?

After the two sides entered the main building and exchanged pleasantries, the elder Bush finally revealed his intention to invite Chen Geng: "Mr. Fernandez, what do you think of next year's US election?"

Next year's U.S. election?

Chen Geng suddenly realized: Comrade Bush invited himself over for the purpose of next year's presidential election and to seek his own support?

This is understandable.

Next year is the election year in the United States, and although it is customary to enter the primary election until tomorrow February, some of the more prominent senior politicians in the two parties, who believe that they have a certain chance of winning and are interested in competing for the presidency of the United States, have begun to emerge one after another, such as Michael Dukakis, the current governor of Massachusetts, and Albert Gore, the current senator of Tennessee......

Comrade George H.W. Bush, who is currently vice president, also announced in a high-profile manner that he would run in next year's general election.

Knowing what was going on, Chen Geng immediately said happily: "Among the candidates who have publicly announced that they will participate in next year's general election, I am most optimistic about you, Mr. Bush. ”
