Gu Biao didn't know that his excellent performance had already aroused the covetousness and worry of people on the other side of the ocean.

Because the topic of "predicting the outcome of the U.S. election, its impact on U.S. Middle East policy, and how China can use it" was just a smokescreen used by Gu Biao to cover up his real graduation project, and he didn't take it too seriously.

It's nothing if this kind of subject is known, at best, you think you're a sinister think tank in international relations. A person with a little insight will not be a spy.

Even if you make a successful prediction and make a big profit, with the three views of Americans, you will not think that you are a bad person.

That's the cultural difference.

As for the smoke bomb that attracted Kissinger's attention, it can only be blamed on Gu Biao's topic of the barrel hidden in the shadows even greater, so that the feints used to cover them seem to be more real than others' main attacks.

On the other hand, it is also to blame that Kissinger is not as awesome as everyone thinks, so he has so much spare time - the "former" secretary of state who has stepped down in the United States is theoretically just a civilian.

It's just that Kissinger has a lot of seniority and has a lot of experience in dealing with certain issues, so he is much more powerful than ordinary professors and has the ability to talk in front of the high-level, but that's all.

Historically, after 1982, he didn't even stay at Georgetown University, and went directly to open a consulting company, which was more expensive than being a professor and director of a research institute at the university, and he could be hired to talk if he had the money. (Just like more than 30 years later, micro-businesses can pay 200,000 to buy a dark horse to shake hands and take a group photo, a reason)

So there's no need to pay too much attention to it.

However, also because of cultural differences, it was difficult for Chinese in the 80s to understand this situation of "retired leaders are not valued".

Chinese officials at the time were apt to think of themselves as "similar to those respected old comrades in the GU Venezuela."

The misunderstanding in this has become the price difference for some people.

Nixon actually visited China for the second time after he had been impeached and resigned from the presidency because of the Watergate scandal.

In China, because they did not understand the Americans' setting that "the president is just a civilian after retirement", they still received a grand reception according to the treatment of the head of state, and even several factions at that time had to design every possible way to compete for the position of "reception host".

……

The day to vote for the U.S. president is the first Tuesday of November every four years.

Specifically, in 1980, it was November 4th.

Therefore, the difference between the completion time of Gu Biao's smoke bomb topic and the real hidden topic is actually only one month, which is very hasty. Where did he come from, looking around, he had to retreat all the way.

On this day, about two weeks after the completion of the smoke bomb project, around October 15, an air message from across the ocean broke the silence of the Foreign Affairs University.

This airmail actually used a diplomatic parcel.

The students of the Foreign Affairs Academy are already very familiar with the world, and they have seen diplomatic parcels in the school for a few years. If it were to become a prestigious university in a rural provincial town, perhaps the president would never have seen a diplomatic parcel in his life.

But the diplomatic parcel that Gu Biao received was different.

Because in the past three years, the diplomatic parcels seen by teachers and students of this school were basically sent back to their alma mater by Chinese envoys abroad, that is, sent by Chinese to Chinese.

And Gu Biao sent this from the Americans.

The payment was simply scary.

“Assistant-to-the-President-for-National-Security-Affairs”

"Assistant to the President, for State-Security-Affairs?APNSA?National Security Adviser to the President of the United States? Isn't that Zbigniew Brzezinski?"

After translating the long list of titles, the comrades in the mailroom instantly felt like they were facing a great enemy, and immediately notified the principal.

Then, after Principal Liu saw the parcel, he personally rushed to Gu Biao's classroom, and in front of all the teachers and students, asked Gu Biao, who was taking the last course credit, to open the parcel.

"Gu Biao, your diplomatic parcel was sent to you by Brzezinski advisers, when did you meet him? What is in it?"

It stands to reason that the diplomatic parcel should not tell a third party anything, but Principal Liu can watch Gu Biao open it, let Gu Biao take the initiative to prove his innocence, and release everyone's doubts.

As a result, I couldn't even go to class.

All the students were in an uproar and envious.

Lu Jianjun: "Wow? How could a diplomatic parcel sent by Mr. Zbigniew Brzezinski, the national security adviser to the President of the United States, be sent to a student? I haven't heard that Gu Biao met him when he went to the United States on a business trip. ”

Huang Xun: "It's amazing, Mr. Brzezinski was an official envoy who talked to the leader about the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States two years ago, and he actually sent a letter to a small person. ”

Ye Kun also bit his lip and analyzed: "I saw it with my own eyes at that time, Minister Huang respected the other party very much, and he didn't dare to receive it alone, and invited Geng to host ......."

Fortunately, there are few senior students at the Foreign Affairs Academy, and they have to be divided into majors, and they are all taught in small classes. So there were just a dozen students watching.

However, as the so-called expert kung fu starts, he knows that there is wood. Everyone understands it, not only to watch the excitement, but also to know the awesomeness of this incident.

Gu Biao couldn't get off the stage when he was erected, so he opened the letter generously, looked at it for a while, and then waved it in front of everyone to show his innocence:

"I don't know why Mr. Brzezinski invited me, but literally, he read the inaugural issue of the university's Diplomatic Review and found the results of our graduation project very valuable.

He cherished my talent and hoped that after I obtained my master's degree, he invited me to continue my doctoral studies in diplomacy and international relations at Georgetown University's Wales School of Foreign Service.

He also said that if he is no longer the president's national security adviser or secretary of state, he hopes to be my doctoral supervisor. Because he had already spoken to Georgetown, once he left office, Georgetown University would hire him as deputy director of a diplomatic research center. If he is re-elected, he will also introduce the best mentor to me-

Therefore, as you can see, this is not an oppressive email in the capacity of a high-ranking US official, but just a senior scholar in the field of international relations affairs, who saw the terrible progress of the latter and wanted to invite him to apply for his doctoral examination.

We all know that there are many ups and downs in the US political system, and being a national security adviser or secretary of state does not mean that he still has a high status after leaving office. Professor Brzezinski's letter may have been written earlier out of a desire to cherish talent. ”

Gu Biao was always very calm, trying his best to clear his.

Just like at this moment, if someone pounces on him and hugs his thigh, he shouts: Brother Gu is awesome! Brother Gu is level! Quasi-secretaries of state want to accept you as a student!

Then Gu Biao will definitely kick this blind guy away: "Get out of here! You just fell in love with the quasi-secretary of state and want to take in the younger brother! Your whole family is wanted to be accepted by the quasi-secretary of state! Lao Tzu is not uncommon!

Gu Biao did not know that Brzezinski was about to fall. He is now wooing himself, maybe after reading "Foreign Affairs Review", he went back to Columbia University to find a comparison of courseware materials.

Then I was worried that Gu Biao would see through his temporary change of course and the layout of "October Surprise", and wanted to drag him into the water to seal his mouth.

Gu Biao didn't want to be stirred into troubled waters so hastily.

In the month before the president's results came out, there were many things that a foreigner could not touch, and the end of being eaten by another faction was even more terrible. You must pretend that you don't see it, you don't hear it, you just stand in the distance and beep it blindly.

If you want to reap the benefits, you have to wait for the dust to settle, anyway, secret diplomacy will need two rounds, as long as Brzezinski is dragged to death, his successor will still have to do it. And at that time, the opposition side was not so closely stared.

Gu Biao's heart is bright.

……

However, not everyone sees this through.

So most of the students, after Gu Biao read out the content, were still crazy envy and jealousy:

"Gu Biao, you are sure this time, you will definitely go to Georgetown to study for a doctorate, right?"

"Unexpectedly, we all said that although our Foreign Affairs University is awesome, it is a pity that there is no school in China to set up a doctoral program in international relations, and we who study diplomacy have no place to study for a doctorate.

You have made a way for everyone to get a master's degree in China and go directly to Georgetown University, which is recognized as the world's No. 1 international relations major, to study for a Ph.D.!"

"In the future, it's all up to you to help us explore the way, maybe we will go to the doctoral exam after graduation. ”

After graduating with a master's degree, I should quickly become a diplomat first, and get the salary at the county and department level, and then leave my post without pay to study for a doctorate in Georgetown, and then come back and work for another year, and it is not a matter of crossing the hurdle of the deputy director-general level in minutes. ”

Gu Biao saw that some students were more and more disagreeable, and they actually had a tendency to be obsessed with officials, and dared to talk about "what kind of rhythm to study in order to get promoted to an official and make a fortune the fastest" in front of Principal Liu.

This is unacceptable, Gu Biao must clarify it immediately and draw a clear line with this gang of crooked tendencies.

He never took care of someone to study for the purpose of promotion, and he could even say that he regarded officials like dung.

"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet, don't mess around. Gu Biao cleared his throat, "I didn't say that I would agree to Professor Brzezinski's invitation - he just asked me to study for his PhD, and it was not an order, and he had no right to order." I feel that his academic views are empty and unworkable. And I'm a doer, so I'm going to decline the invitation – I'll draft a reply now. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was dumbfounded.

Gu Biao actually refused...... Absolutely...... Finish!

The National Security Adviser to the President of the United States, I asked you to study for his Ph.D. after he left office, but Gu Biao actually refused!!

That's absolutely, absolutely, globally recognized as the world's No. 1 professional in international relations!

But if you climb to the balcony on the fifth floor of the teaching building and look at it, you can see the White House!

However, Gu Biao ignored the eyes of his secular classmates at all, and drafted a beautifully written reply in English in public.

Indeed, as he claimed, he politely declined Brzezinski's invitation under the pretext of a difference in academic philosophy. The wording on it is simply high-spirited, and he can be called the most unafraid of the powerful and unyielding hermit in ancient times.

Uncle Bo Yi Qi is reincarnated, and he doesn't eat Zhou Su, so that's it.

Gu Biao knew that his letter might make Brzezinski even more hesitant to decide whether to change his course at the last moment, for fear that there would be an unknown stabbing person in the back.

Fearing that it would be exposed, Brzezinski would not have dared to encourage President Carter to secretly airlift weapons to the Iranians in exchange for hostages in the last 15 days.

However, since the other party's history is already over, Gu Biao has no psychological burden. He felt it was safest to go with the flow.

"He, in fact, rejected Brzezinski because of his different academic concepts? Does diplomacy still have academic concepts? Isn't it true that whoever has great power will say good things about whom? Gu Biao is crazy, why is he so loyal and unyielding?" Everyone was shocked and inexplicable, and could not explain it.
