Chapter 624: Response

"The reason why we in the United States is a world power is because we have a huge amount of wealth and a strong army, not because our country has trained its own scientists to be the best. Our wealth is able to give the country the best scientists, to provide them with the best conditions, a high-quality environment, and advanced practical equipment...... Therefore, I never worry. Although our own scientists have lost some of it, which is really bad news, because we have these conditions, even if we fall behind in one aspect, it will not have much impact, as I said, we can use scientific and technological personnel from other countries. My concern is that there is no unity within our country, and the fortress is often breached from within......" The President of the United States of America made a series of speech-like speeches.

However, this kind of routine speech is not always of much use. Therefore, no matter how impassioned the President of the United States is, he has not received the expected enthusiastic response. Because, among the people present, there are not many simple characters, and how can they not understand these routines in the political arena? Naturally, they will not applaud the president's words.

In fact, if the president had been able to get rid of the boastful part of himself instead of using the same clichés to them, perhaps they would have listened a little bit, and what they needed was more practical rhetoric. After all, between countries and among people, it is often easier to talk about interests, and it is easier for everyone to accept.

"President, if we invest too much in the research of space technology, it will definitely affect the development of other scientific research projects in the country. This is not a rational decision. "The secretary of state, in his duties, had to open his mouth to remind the president.

The president was "poured cold water" by the secretary of state, and the decisions he made were questioned, and of course his face was a little unbearable, and his face became more stern. It's just that because the Secretary of State's words are also well-reasoned, if you want to refute it openly, you can't find a point to speak.

Therefore, the president's face turned white and red for a while, and he endured it for a while before he said slowly: "I will consider your opinion." In fact, if it weren't a last resort, I wouldn't want the state to invest much more in the research of this project. However, you are not unaware that our country has already invested a certain amount of manpower and material resources, and if this project is stopped abruptly, not to mention the previous efforts, many of the resources that have been invested will be wasted, and it will not be possible to explain it to the public, but if the research is allowed to continue, it is natural that there must be greater investment in order to make it happen. Therefore, in order to be able to balance the pros and cons, I believe that it is better to bring in funds from the consortium and develop technology. This is also based on China's actual national conditions -- China's system is inseparable from the consortium, and if the consortium is strong, our country will also be strong. ”

"That being said, we have to be on guard. I agree that if we can make good use of the power of the consortium, we can often do more with less, but there is a principle, it must be before the others. That is, the interests of the state must always be higher than the interests of the consortium. The Secretary of State said.

"I've been re-elected, and in six months, I'll be stepping down. During the transition period, I have nothing to think about but hope that the country and society will always be stable. Therefore, I will not make any risky moves for the time being, and in fact, I will not be able to accomplish many heavy moves in my short term of office, which is about to end. So, I hope that the next president, will be able to solve the problem. The president said.

In the conference room, everyone was silent. The president finally said the truth, he is leaving office, and he wants to leave in peace, leave himself a rich political fortune, and pave the way for his future, and everyone is understandable.

The U.S. government is conflicted over its treatment of Hwaka Island and Hing Wah Mall.

Because of several targeted actions by the American Intelligence Agency, relations between the two sides have been tense at times, relaxed at times, and generally more tense. This has led the government of the United States of America to hold back on many issues. For example, for blatant theft, Xinghua Island also tried intelligence officers openly. Another example is the pirate attack on Xinghua Island a long time ago, which has become a secret for a long time.

There is also the alliance between Xinghua Island and China, and the United States is extremely dissatisfied, but unfortunately they have nothing to do. Seeing that Xinghua Island is purchasing arms from China, its defense capability is getting stronger and stronger. What makes the United States even more scruptuous, is the attitude of the Miqi country. The Mi Flag State has a friendly attitude towards Xinghua Island and supports the sovereign interests of Xinghua Island countries.

Therefore, the United States can no longer use some spurious reasons to take action against Xinghua Island.

Of course, the most important point. The Intelligence Agency of the United States of America is still not sure whether the secret research base of Xinghua Mall is located on the main island of Xinghua Island.

Uncertainty, means risk. After several attempts, the American Intelligence Agency was defeated. Next time, the American Intelligence Agency needs a more conservative plan and a sound plan. For example, spend a few years lurking inside Xinghua Mall, or find a way to immigrate to Xinghua Island.

However, no matter how the American Intelligence Agency thinks of it, there is no way to deal with Xinghua Island and Xinghua Mall. Intelligence officers infiltrate Xinghua Island, and as long as they have extra movements, they will be lost. The more people you put in, the more people you lose. Sometimes, the intelligence bureau invests manpower as well as spending money to buy directly in the Xinghua Mall, or rob the Xinghua goods in the hands of other members.

At most, you can only enter the liquor store on Xinghua Island and do long-term lurking, but this is not enough.

In the office of the director of the American Intelligence Agency, the new director Quinton looked at the huge information of the Xinghua Group and said nothing. His eyes were already swollen, but he still hadn't figured out anything to do. Quinton wants to take office and burn a few fires in Xinghua, but there is no way. He was a little helpless, but he was afraid that he could only sign a few conservative plans of his predecessor and not make any changes.

After a while, Quinton called and summoned the head of the field agent operations department, and he wanted to arrange a group of personnel on Xinghua Island as well.

"What do you think of the Xinghua Island Music Troupe? Have you ever thought about cultivating musical talents and joining the Xinghua Island Music Troupe? Or, observe the people of the Xinghwa Island Music Troupe and find a way to attract a few members. Quinton asked.

"I'm afraid it's more difficult, our people didn't get into the music department of Xinghua Island Comprehensive College. The head of the operations department said helplessly. The previous director of the intelligence bureau also considered sending intelligence officers to be admitted to Xinghwa Island Comprehensive College and become a student when he could not immigrate.

However, no matter what they thought, there was no way to get in. Unlike other countries, they have been in business for a longer period of time and have numerous connections available. In Xinghua Island, they can't use money to smash open the door of the comprehensive college, and they can't use their connections to arrange students to enroll, let alone professional talents to be admitted to the college.

"At present, our main job is to arrange more intelligence officers to observe the residents and students on Xinghua Island, and find a way to develop one or two informants among them. Said the head of the operations department of the intelligence agency.

"Well, I agree with your approach. Is there anything I can help with?" Quinton said. Since there's nothing to do, ask them what difficulties they have.

"We need funds! Xinghua Island is a tourist country, and we need a lot of money to maintain our lives by arranging agents to be stationed for a long time. For example, the cost of the hotel, the cost of public relations. Said the Minister of Operations.

"We have an embassy on Xinghua Island, right?" asked Quinton, a little puzzled.

"Director, our secret agents can't be stationed in the embassy. If they are stationed in the embassy, their identities will definitely be exposed, which will be detrimental to their activities on Xinghua Island. If they develop an informant and it is discovered early on, the informant may not get useful information, or even get false information. The Minister of Operations replied.

"I didn't expect that. Quinton frowned, admitting his inadequacy. He is not a front-line agent, he is better at looking at the overall situation and judging the impact of a thing on a country.

"How else do you need help?" Quinton then asked, not interfering if he wasn't familiar with it.

"We need personnel support!" continued the Chief of Operations.

"I'll give you more authority and quotas, and you can go to the secret service school to select talents. Quinton said. In the United States, there are colleges dedicated to the training of special agents.

Of course, many people don't like rookie agents and like to have a lot of experience.

However, the head of operations has no way to select experienced personnel. Since the last time the super agent managed to infiltrate the underground warehouse of Xinghua Island, he was unfortunately arrested and imprisoned in Xinghua Island Prison. Everyone in the American Intelligence Agency knows that Xinghua Island is not a simple country. Experienced agents, whose experience may not necessarily be useful on Xinghua Island. Perhaps, it is also a good choice to find some rookie agents and infiltrate Xinghua Island.

Obviously, Quinton thinks the same way. Even if you lose a few rookie agents, it will have no effect on the intelligence bureau.

The Chief of Operations saw Quinton's idea, but he didn't object. Seeing that Quinton seemed to have nothing to say, the head of operations prepared to get up and take his leave.

"I'm going to give you another $10 million in operational funding and try to make it happen for me. Tell the front-line agents that I will give them a generous reward as soon as the information they get is judged to be useful. Quinton said.

"Thank you, Director, I'll pass on your words to them. Said the Minister of Operations.

The Chief of Operations left, and the Director's office fell silent again.

Quinton thought for a moment and sighed. If it was on the territory of the United States, he could directly use the armed agents of the Intelligence Bureau to capture Xinghua Island and seal Xinghua Mall. Unfortunately, Xinghua Island is an independent country, and they cannot ignore the influence of other countries.

At a time when the United States failed to implement space technology and the government was helpless about Xinghua Island, thinking about countermeasures. The rest of the countries are also thinking about how to deal with the Xinghua Mall, which has emerged in an endless stream of various technologies and products, as well as the changes in Xinghua Island.

The Chinese government is doing the same.

However, for the Chinese government, Xinghua Island is an ally, and they have different problems to think about than European and American countries.

The capital of China, the conference room on the second floor of a lakeside garden. More than 20 people gathered together to discuss the issue of Xinghua Island.

"Chief, we have completely lost their message. A middle-aged man said anxiously.

"What is the answer from Xinghua Island?" said the chief, who was sitting at the head of the seat.

The Xinghua Island government replied that they were in a secret location, under construction. The place is hard to contact. And, they sued us. If the worker's family has an urgent matter and wants to contact them, they can deliver the letter on their behalf to ensure delivery. If our country wants to urgently recruit an engineer to return to China, they will also arrange it within a month. The middle-aged man exasperated, "Do they treat our people as slaves? ”

"Perhaps, on the Schmidt side, they are telling the truth. In the conference room, another older scientist replied. He is a representative of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The Chinese Academy of Sciences needs the advanced products provided by Xinghua Mall. Therefore, the Chinese Academy of Sciences did not want the Chinese government to take any measures against Xinghua Mall, which led to the deterioration of relations between the two parties.

"I also agree with Professor Wang's opinion that we can't rely on imagination. In the conference room, there was a soldier in military uniform, who also said. He is the military representative of Huaguo. The military urgently needs an arms order for Xinghua Island.

Because of the arms order on Xinghua Island, Huaguo's arms are thriving. Representatives of many arms factories wanted to supply weapons to Xinghwa Island in order to obtain funds to update weapons and equipment. The pressure on these arms factories has been pressed, and it is difficult for the military to calm down. Back then, the military sent warships to help Xinghua Island resist pirates. Although it was a little late, it is undeniable that the attitude of the Chinese Navy shows that it clearly supports the Xinghua Island government.

"Aren't you worried about our experts and professors at all?" the middle-aged man looked at the representatives of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the military.

"We talked about this before we signed the agreement. The Xinghua Island government has repeatedly stressed that this is a secret construction. During the term of the contract, they guaranteed the safety of the Chinese personnel, and the Chinese side could not intervene in any sensitive issues on Xinghua Island. This includes the use of various methods to inquire about the location of the Xinghua nuclear power plant. Another person in the room stepped forward, and he was a representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China. When the agreement between the two parties was signed, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China was involved, and he was an insider.

"I'm worried about our engineers in Huaguo, is there a problem with this?" The middle-aged man who was in trouble heard this, and also knew that he seemed to be a little unreasonable, so he couldn't help lowering his voice and defending. (To be continued.) )
