Chapter 396: Emergency Meeting on National Security Affairs
At 0:10 on August 8, 2010, Huashengton.
Just when Zheng Xudong rushed to Nevada to catch up with the CIA's female killer, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had already rushed back to Huashengton on her own private jet, and then immediately entered the White House to meet with the president *** and asked for an emergency meeting on national security affairs.
After hearing Hillary's brief briefing, I also felt that it was necessary to hold a meeting for everyone to discuss, and then I called the relevant people to wait for the meeting in the "security fortress" on the basement floor of the Pentagon next to the White House.
Those who were summoned arrived within twenty minutes, and in addition to President *** and Secretary of State Hillary, the meeting was attended by Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner, Attorney General Eric Holden, FBI Director Robert Miller, Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly, and finally White House Chief of Staff Peter Brown. Law, there were nine people in the room, and when they arrived, the guards outside the door closed the door of the conference room and stood guard outside the door.
At this time, the nine people in the room were already sitting in their places in the order of "big and small", except for the president *** and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the other seven people were thinking about a question, "Why is the director of the CIA, Leon Panetta, not here? The vice president can not be there, because according to the security rules, the president and vice president are not allowed to appear in the same place unless necessary, not even in one city, so as not to be caught in one place." These seven people all thought in their hearts, but none of them said anything after many years of dominating the political arena.
President *** sat at the head of the conference table as a matter of course, he saw the doubts in the hearts of the other seven people, and after thinking about it, he still explained, "The topic of today's meeting involves the serious mistakes of the CIA's recent actions, and we will discuss it later, so Leon was not allowed to attend this meeting." After a pause, he was satisfied with the feeling of being in control of the situation when he saw everyone looking at each other in surprise, and continued: "Okay, now please tell Hillary about what happened tonight. Then he glanced at Hillary, who was sitting on his right, "Say it!"
Hillary sorted out her thoughts, coughed lightly and cleared her throat, and then talked about entering the conference room at Murdoch Manor today, first saying that she wanted to return to the Declaration of Independence, and then she "wanted" to fail, so she had to say that she bought it, and the topic naturally talked about the part that increased the price by $100 million.
She said that the people in the room here didn't even listen carefully just now, but they just felt that the matter was important and convened this meeting, and now they heard Hillary, a doctor of law from Yale University, talk about the situation in the conference room with great emotion, and everyone was shocked, and they were all listening to why this Chinese magical boy dared to raise the price of $100 million in mental damage to the U.S. government. Sure enough, the next plot is not an exaggeration to say that it is a spy war blockbuster.
Hillary learned from Zheng Xudong's demeanor to play the recording of the CIA agent's assassination of Zheng Xudong on the spot, and then she agreed to raise the price by $100 million, and talked about getting the director of the CIA to apologize, and Leon Panetta was introduced on the phone, and the topic naturally talked about Zheng Xudong being assassinated by CIA agents in New York, and Zheng Xudong sold the CIA interrogation agent to the Royal Swedish Academy of Medicine on the spot, and then sold the lithography chip on the agent's body to Niben. Speaking of this, Hillary paused, and when everyone thought that this spy war blockbuster was over, Hillary continued to talk about the plot of Zheng Xudong and the Japanese ambassador's "battle of wits", the same assassination of Zheng Xudong for the national treasure of her country, and the same as the CIA, and the same kidnapping and assassination of Zheng Xudong for the coating formula of the F-22 stealth fighter in the USB flash drive, the methods of the two countries are the same. The only difference between this spy war drama of Japan and the United States is that the father of the female agent turned out to be the head of the intelligence department of Japan, and this plot is a bit "touching!" and Zheng Xudong issued a "death notice" to the head of the Japanese intelligence department, the lieutenant general of the army.
While everyone in the room thought that there would be a more climactic story after the Japanese affair was over, the story with the Cardinal of New York was a bit lackluster.
After talking about all the storylines in the conference room, when everyone thought that the topic of today's meeting was to discuss these, Hillary Clinton told an even more exciting "story", the CIA actually sent members of the action team to the party site, Murdoch's home poisoned and assassinated Zheng Xudong, and what was even more terrifying was that he almost killed the daughter of Trump, the representative of the successful woman in the United States, Ivanka, one of the vice presidents of the Feminist Association, the president of a multinational group, and a strong American woman. In the end, Hillary Clinton followed Zheng Xudong's indifferent tone and issued a "death notice" to CIA Director Leon Panetta.
Finally Hillary Clinton said, "That's what happened tonight, I flew back afterwards." I think tonight's events are very important, and national security is already at stake, so I think it's necessary to convene this meeting. With that, she let out a long breath of turbid air in her chest and leaned back against the back of her chair.
Except for the story of Zheng Xudong's return of the Vatican Pope's fisherman's ordination to be a little dry, the other three stories are all thrilling, everyone in the room did not speak, and they were digesting who the aftermath of these three stories would be affected, and the CIA would definitely be unlucky.
Seeing that everyone was still in shock, the president said: "I have just received a letter of protest from the Chinese government protesting against the killing of Chinese citizens in China by our spies, saying that this is a provocation to China's sovereignty, and severely condemning our behavior! Let's talk about it, what do you think?" After finishing speaking, I watched everyone look at their noses, noses, mouths, and mouths, and no one squeaked like an old monk. No way, he glanced at his chief of staff, Peter Laws.
Pete Rouse saw the president looking at himself with the rest of his eyes, and knew that it was not okay not to speak, his position was equivalent to the chief of staff of the US government, and some countries directly translated the White House chief of staff into the chief of staff of the White House, which is a position with a lot of power, often called the "gatekeeper" and "second president" of the White House, and is nicknamed "the second most powerful person in the HSD" on Capitol Hill. He coughed lightly and cleared his throat, and then said: "I was shocked to hear Hillary's explanation of tonight's situation just now, the Secretary of State's words are quite informative, but I summarized them and thought that we could solve them one by one." The first is about the repurchase of the Declaration of Independence, and I would like to express my personal opinion that I believe that the Declaration of Independence must be bought back, and at all costs, this Declaration of Independence I won't talk about the symbolic meaning in the United States, since there are already individuals who want to buy it at this price, I think it can be bought back at this price, as for the need to increase the price by 100 million dollars, Hillary has already agreed on the spot, and there is also the fact that we do have the assassination of Zheng Xudong, what he wants is nothing more than spiritual comfort. There is also the condemnation of the Chinese government, we can argue with them first, anyway, the party Zheng Xudong also emphasized at the scene that he did not want to accuse us of assassination, but wanted money, since the parties did not file a lawsuit, then things are much easier. At this point, he glanced at President *** and said that he had finished speaking.
glanced at the others, "Let's talk about it, the White House Chief of Staff Peter Rouse finished talking just now, see if everyone still has different opinions." After saying that, he looked at Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, who was sitting next to him.
Everyone present at this kind of meeting must express their stance and say "agree and disagree," and the conclusion of the meeting thus formed is "the crystallization of collective wisdom"? The words of White House Chief of Staff Pete Rouse just now have made it very clear that the "Declaration of Independence" must be bought, and the focus of the issue now is the question of how much the $100 million in moral damage to that Chinese boy will be paid. If Hillary had not agreed on the spot, everyone could have discussed in the conference room whether to give 60 million, 70 million, or 80 million, but Hillary, an old lady, had "promised" 100 million dollars to others with a big mouth and a fork, and now let us say something! As for offending this old lady for those tens of millions? Let's not mention that Hillary is the wife of the former president, but just say that her post as secretary of state, including some of the powers of the prime minister of the State Council and the powers of the foreign minister, is herself a die-hard "eagle" sent an iron bowl character, and he couldn't offend her because of these tens of millions. Besides, the money saved can't get out of my pocket.
Thinking of this, Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi nodded at the president, indicating that he agreed with White House Chief of Staff Pete Laus.
Looking at the next Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and everyone in the room all had the same idea as Speaker Nancy Pelosi just now, and no one wanted to offend the secretary of state in the fourth most powerful place in the United States for a few small money, so they also nodded.
The others also nodded their heads one after another, and when they saw that they had reached an agreement on this issue, they said to Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner: "Timothy, where is this money coming from, you have an opinion." ”
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner couldn't avoid this question, and that's his job, so he cleared his throat and said: "I think this money can come from the special fund for the purchase of antiquities by the National Archives, which has this money anyway, and they also earn a lot of money every year when they exhibit them." After buying back the Declaration of Independence, there will definitely be a large number of Americans vying to see this real handwritten "Declaration of Independence", which will bring them a lot of income. So I think it's more appropriate for the National Archives to come out with this money. ”
Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement with Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner's statement, he said: "Okay, since this is the case, this issue is settled, agree to the proposal of the Chinese wonder boy, and the magic capital in China will be handed over by the ambassador in China in person." I transferred the money to this kid's Citibank account first. ”
"Pete, what's next?" asked Peter Rouse, the White House chief of staff, as he looked at his "aide."
