The day after the game, all three were on the plane in the afternoon.

So after waking up early in the morning, I walked around the suburbs of Barcelona for a while, went to the National Forest Park for a morning of fun, and then went to the airport after lunch.

At lunchtime, at an old shop near the scenic spot, I ate Iberian ham that is said to be made from acorn black pigs that are wild in the local mountains and forests.

The meat was cut as thin as cicada wings, and although Han Ting and Mina couldn't afford it, they were still slightly surprised by the high price.

Gu Biao also ate a little, and he didn't think it tasted good, it seemed that he was completely selling a special fat fragrance.

After arriving at the airport, Mina went back to the capital, and Han Ting went back to Xiangjiang, so among the three, Mina's flight took off the earliest. After she said goodbye to her seniors and teachers and boarded the plane, Han Ting and Gu Biao were still sitting there waiting for the flight.

Han Ting's mentality seemed to have changed a little more subtly than before, and when there were no other students present, she was completely relieved, and involuntarily clasped Gu Biao's hand, and unconsciously exerted force.

"You ...... There is a kind of secrecy. If you are said to be nothing, you can really be nothing. ”

"The conscience of heaven and earth, I only have a sense of respect and gratitude in my heart, and I really don't have that kind of dirty attempt, don't you still believe it?"

"Alright, I do. The body can't fool people, it's time for me to go. Han Ting sighed lightly, patted the folds on her short skirt after getting up, and then tilted her head slightly, leaving a few words for Gu Biao, who was standing behind her.

"Since Li Jiapo came back from that illness, I have not shied away from medical treatment, and I have seen a lot. Find some medical books and face all of this. When a woman reaches the age of 35, whether she wants to do it or not, basically reaches its peak, lasts for a few years, and gradually declines towards desirelessness.

I know that the two women around you are both young and beautiful. You don't lack anything, you don't want me anything, and I never think much about it. However, before you get married, you can occasionally accompany me, just for three or five years, and you can be regarded as having a conscience.

In the future, when you get married, I hope that you will be able to return to the relationship that respects me as much as you did at the beginning...... Hehe, although it's a bit of a fool's dream, I don't believe you can do it myself. ”

Gu Biao: "I will definitely do it, no matter what happens, I have never been disrespectful to you." Even if I am asked to respond to the call of the country and get married late at the age of 25. ”

Han Ting couldn't help but shed tears.

If Gu Biao does what she says, then she finally grabbed the tail of an aftertaste before the elegance and maturity passed, and lived up to this life.

According to the medical book, after a woman is not confused, her body itself does not want it, so why bother to have more trouble.

"You are a man of gratitude and conscience. Let's go. Han Ting calmed her breath and walked to the boarding gate.

Another hour later, Gu Biao also boarded a flight back to Watstonton.

……

After returning to Watsonton, the first thing Gu Biao did was to cancel the leave, and then pretend to instantly reintegrate into the graduate school.

Although business is also important, it has to be put aside for two or three days first.

The day after the holiday, after attending a morning report class, Gu Biao took advantage of the lunch time to invite the professor to a casual banquet, treat guests and give gifts, and clarify the "misunderstanding" he was still carrying.

The main thing is to blame Qin Guogang, Giuseppe, Dassault and others for all the troubles in the previous Falklands War.

With the inside story that Mina just gave the day before yesterday, as well as the processing caliber, Gu Biao is naturally a lot more comfortable in doing this.

After all, the reason why he went to Spain was originally to ventilate with Mina, as for watching the game, and even meeting Han Ting and subsequent development, it was an accident.

However, Rao is like this, Gu Biao still failed to completely relieve Kissinger, the old fox, of his doubts at the first time.

"Do you think I'll believe it?" asked Kissinger, at the wine table.

Gu Biao could only argue based on the existing evidence: "Professor, war is not something that I can expect as an outsider, it is a huge chaotic system. There are also dozens of high-precision weapons involved in the war, who knows which subdivision can shine?

In this matter, I am just pulling the strings, and I can guarantee that my former colleagues were rushing to make money at the beginning - this is to blame on my country's military industry, when the infringement of intellectual property rights and imitation of French goods over the years, only the subdivision of anti-ship missiles and French technology closely followed, and foreigners may be able to see it.

We can fully assume that if our air defense missiles are of high quality, we will even sell air-to-air missiles this time. But isn't it true that there is a generation difference between quality and technology and French goods, and they can't be sold. It's not a coincidence, what is a coincidence?

As for the fact that they later found that the state of affairs had changed in such a way that there were other profits, weren't they all 'improvised'? Just like the difference between first-degree murder and second-degree murder in American law: first-degree murder is 'premeditated,' and second-degree murder is 'improvised.' What a big difference this viciousness, I went for money at best. ”

It seems that it is really tight, and it is completely beyond reproach.

Kissinger pushed his glasses: "I don't think there is any flaw, if this is said by someone else, I will believe it." But you kid can't live with common sense.

When you went on a mission to Iraq last year, I also felt that the "good interpersonal environment that you had won in Iraq" was just a coincidence, and it could not be that you knew at least a year in advance that you were going to prepare for me and President Reagan to do something.

However, this time you caught up again. I can't believe that there is human luck on Earth. ”

What is the reason for that?

Gu Biao was speechless for a while.

But when he thinks about it, it seems strange.

It is no problem for others to explain it this way, and it is enough to prove that it was "improvised" and not premeditated.

But he Gu Wei has already "temporarily" established that kind of great merit at the level of the storm, and he has been "temporary" two or three times.

This coincidence resume is really incomprehensible.

"Maybe I'm the chosen one. "So far, Gu Biao is also in the middle of the road, and he can't turn back.

We can only insist on this statement.

"The Chosen One?haha, that's a bit of a possibility. God, would you choose a person who was chosen by the yellow race that day?" Kissinger couldn't help but laugh at himself and be suspicious.

Gu Biao saw that he was a little loose, and seemed to be willing to help himself, so he took advantage of the victory to persuade:

"And, Professor, only you and Mr. President know about the fact that I was so lucky twice. The rest of the world, including all the Britons, knows at most that I was so lucky this time.

So, as long as you don't talk to Mr. President, who will know that I 'won the Mark Six lottery twice in two years'? ”

This last remark made Kissinger quite moved.

He accepted the check and promised to help Gu Biao with his work.

"Indeed, it is impossible for the British to know that it is better to have more of us than less, even if I believe you completely. I'll help you resolve the pressure outside. "Kissinger is also a man of promises, and since he agreed, this matter will be turned over.

After chatting about heavy topics, Kissinger took advantage of the fact that there was no other student's private environment and decided to talk to Gu Biao about his future academic arrangements.

"Gu, you and I are doing research, and you and I both know the initial opportunity. To be honest, I didn't think you would be able to do anything in the academic field of 'secret diplomacy'.

However, I am quite surprised by the performance of the projects you have been working with me for half a year, and I finally believe that you have not succeeded casually to get to where you are today.

I had planned to teach until the end of May next year, when I turned 60 and retired from Georgetown. I have contributed enough to the country, and I should make some arrangements for myself and future generations. To be honest, the income of a university professor is not worth my ability and dedication at all. After retiring, I already planned to open an international investment consulting firm.

When I took Patrick and Sarah, I also calculated their research progress, and I can definitely graduate this semester in May next year. But you kid, when I called you here, you still had to take a leave of absence, and if you are not satisfied with the two-year school system, you will be allowed to graduate, and the signboard of Georgetown is unacceptable.

For the sake of your ability to inherit my mantle, I will postpone your retirement for two semesters until January of the following year. I hope you really put your energy into it, and don't desecrate the Ph.D. at the Waltz School of Foreign Service. ”

When Gu Biao heard this, he was also a little moved.

Kissinger: This is a true love for talent.

It is already a great deal to let this kind of person who has been a secretary of state postpone your retirement and teach for 8 more months.

Ji Lao was born in May '23, and according to the original history, he taught until he retired in May '83. Georgetown University's salary to Kissinger, although it is already very face-saving, is at best $200,000 a year.

Compared with Kissinger's connections and resources, this amount of money is very small. He really went to the business world to open a consulting company for people as a lobbyist, and he could earn 200,000 yuan a month.

"Professor, don't worry, I appreciate your kindness, and I won't let the good suffer. If you teach for 8 more months, I will make you 200,000 less per month and make up the tuition for you. Let's do business, I will pay an additional 1.6 million for make-up classes. ”

Ordinary people have to pay extra money to hire a tutor, attend an after-school cram school, or a private tutor at the gym.

Gu Biao is regarded as a tutor cram school with $200,000 a month.

At the same time, this time he asked Kissinger to help him set up the first wine and carry the matter, which should have been a good money for mediation.

Now, it is included in the "make-up fee", and it is also considered that the teacher is famous, which is a little more elegant.

"I'm not concerned about money, I'll talk about this later!" Kissinger also wants to save face, although he decided to collect the 1.6 million, but he is more concerned about academics.

"The key now is that my current research direction is almost done, and I don't have any follow-up plans after sending Patrick and Sarah away next year. Since the last eight months in Georgetown were only one PhD student, I wanted to switch to an easy project that I could complete in a short period of time. ”

"Professor, I can study anything. "Gu Biao is also very open.

"I have always wanted to write an academic monograph entitled "On China", mainly to introduce Chinese culture and political traditions, the diplomatic concept of the Chinese world order, the Chinese geopolitical tradition, strategic philosophy, and tactical strategy to the world.

However, I thought that I could not get enough first-hand research materials, so I did not dare to write, and I wanted to wait until I had done enough consulting and accumulated materials for investment companies in China in the future, and then I would start writing in my later years.

Your presence has made me change my mind. You are a master's degree graduate from the Foreign Affairs University in your country, or a top top student, and you have a lot of practical experience in opposing positions. I hope you will cooperate with me in completing this book in my final year in Georgetown. I'll hang you the second author. ”

Gu Biao was slightly startled.

Wasn't the later book "On China" supposed to have been written by Kissinger more than 20 years later?

Moreover, there are many key points in "On China", all of which discuss how Sino-US relations can develop according to their needs after the end of the Soviet Union. Now the Soviet Union is still alive and well, there is no direct competition between China and the United States, and even if this book is written, the depth is much worse.

Thinking a little deeper, Gu Biao was further worried: If he wrote this book with Kissinger, would it leave people with the suspicion of "helping US imperialism study how to deal with China".

It's not good for him.

Gu Biao said very principledly: "Professor, I can't rush to agree to your request. If you ask me to provide unclassified material or help you decipher traditional Chinese political culture, I would be glad to do so. But I'm not going to help you figure out how to deal with China, and I don't want a second author of a book like that. ”

Kissinger waved his hand: "It's not what you think, I'm engaged in diplomacy, not military and ideological." Not only for China, but even for the Soviet Union, I will not simply interpret it with the 'threat theory' or the 'collapse theory'. What I want to study is 'co-evolution according to what you need', do you understand what I mean?"

"I don't understand. Gu Biao replied bluntly.

Kissinger was also impatient and patiently explained: "It means that I have been in contact with many Chinese leaders, and I deeply realize that many of the things that you Chinese care about, we Americans don't care about." Or there are a lot of things that we Americans cherish, and you Chinese don't really care.

Just like the ancient tributary trade, you Chinese care most about face, which is what you call 'righteous name'. And the small tributary countries care about making money, so the tributary trade is a joy at least at the top of both sides, because each gets what they want.

In modern times, I have also realized that each generation of Chinese leaders cares about things that we Americans don't care about, and at the same time, what you care about in each generation is different.

It's not a simple zero-sum game – for example, if one side can now know that the other side 'can relax a little bit and make a little more money', then a lot of cooperation can be deepened, right?

The key to writing "On China" is to comprehensively reveal the political and cultural differences in it, so that both sides can use the chips that the other side doesn't care about so much to buy back the chips they care about the most. I don't think it's harmful to your homeland. ”

Gu Biao finally thought about it: "If you insist, I hope you can communicate with the relevant departments of my country." Or if you can provide a formal academic proposal report at that time, I will follow the proposal report and ask the relevant leaders. If they want me to participate, I will participate. ”

If the leaders feel that this is a good thing that is conducive to expanding opening up and enhancing cooperation and friendship, then Gu Biao will do a good job.

Anyway, he doesn't take the initiative to be a bird.

It can be regarded as finding a home for his last year or so of Georgetown's academic career. (Of course, after-school business is still done)

PS: There are only two shifts today. However, the two more are more than 4,000 words of big chapters, in fact, they add up to more than 3 more than 3,000.

Tomorrow is a little easier, and it is also two watches. But on Sunday and Monday, the three watches will be resumed to continue to repay debts.
