Chapter 1134 Security Treaty Going Bankrupt
"You said they......" The student glanced at Jiang Chen with a strange expression, only feeling that the person in front of him was familiar, but he couldn't tell where he had seen it, "It is estimated that which party is engaged in canvassing for votes in the election, there have been more and more such activities recently."

Jiang Chen nodded knowingly.
Speaking of which, it has been almost four years since he overthrew the previous regime, President Edward. In the past four years, the changes in Koro Island can really be described as earth-shaking, and there is almost no trace of the small fishing village of the past.
The new country implements a presidential system, and the election will be held at the end of March next year.
If nothing else, Zhang Yaping will continue to be his president, and Transwarp Trade will continue to be the behind-the-scenes controller of the country. The remaining parties symbolically competed for the presidency and then put the battle in the seats of Congress.
As a pioneer of the revolution to save the people from the heat of water and life, unless Zhang Yaping voluntarily gave up his candidacy, with the support of Transwarp Trade, it is almost impossible for an accident to happen.
At this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly remembered something.
Speaking of the U.S. election, which is attracting global attention, it seems that it will also be next year.
In the second half of 19, such a big basket was stabbed, but I am afraid that Hillary still wants to be re-elected, and it is probably impossible. Not to mention the people who demanded her resignation, I am afraid that the Democratic Party and the main party will not buy her account very much.
As soon as he thought of this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth.
God bless the new country, and hopefully next year the American people will choose an even more idiotic opponent for him.
β¦β¦
Jiang Chen guessed correctly, Hillary's recent life has indeed not been very good.
The US aircraft carrier battle group has never turned around because of a threat from any country, not to mention that what stands in front of them is only a small country, with a fleet of only six frigates and no more than twenty or thirty fighters.
With the exception of those who stood in the Pentagon's operational command room that day, everyone blamed Hillary for her weakness in diplomatic strategy. Even if Hillary's public relations team released part of the story, saying that the president was facing a madman who would not hesitate to start a nuclear war, it is clear that not many people bought it.
Nuclear deterrence.
Deterrence.
How do you know he's not bluffing, and how can you be sure he's going to push the button?
Hillary really doesn't know, but she doesn't dare to bet on America's future whether it will be heaven or hell in ten seconds.
Although many people ask themselves that they may not be able to do better than her in her position, this does not prevent them from attacking her.
That's politics.
Mrs. Clinton sat in the president's office on Saturday as she listened to a briefing by the F.B.I. commissioner on her recent work.
At that moment, the office door was pushed open, and the director of the FBI immediately stopped talking, took two steps back and stepped aside.
When she saw the person standing in the doorway, Hillary frowned slightly.
"You forgot to knock on the door, Mr. Bolden. β
"I'll apologize for my rudeness, but please wait until I'm done...... The second group of Ring Trade colonists have arrived on Mars, we have lost to them on the Moon, and now we have been thrown tens of millions of kilometers on Mars," Bolden hurriedly walked through the door, placing a document on Hillary's desk, staring at her earnestly, and said, "NASA needs more budget! If you still want us to build a space elevator by 2050." β
Hillary Clinton rubbed the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.
"You should have gone to talk to Congress, not to me. β
With a bitter smile on his lips, Bolden shook his head.
"Those short-sighted guys are losing faith in Silicon Valley and Seattle, and I've written two proposals and handed them in, but both are stuck in the budget committee. I can only come to you...... Well, I apologize for my rudeness just now. β
Carefully uttering the second half of the sentence, Bolden withdrew from the president's office
"What the hell are the congressional people thinking," Hillary frowned, buried her nose in the palm of her hand, took a deep breath, closed her eyes and muttered for a moment, looking at the FBI director standing next to her, "Help me find out who it isβ"
Hillary's words startled the director of the FBI, and he hurriedly waved his hand.
"It's not in order, I'm not going to help you investigate the members of Congress. β
"I think there's somebody behind it. Hillary Clinton said lightly, "Someone was lobbying the budget committee to get a budget for a government project, and the Secretary of Defense approached me in the morning to talk about a similar issue." β
This is a common occurrence where certain groups or corporations tend to pressure the White House through Congress in order to achieve political goals, and the budget committee is only one of the means. For example, the famous K Street between Capitol Hill and the White House is a microcosm of this phenomenon, which can be regarded as a gray area of the American democratic system.
Hillary's words made the FBI director hesitate for a moment, and reluctantly nodded.
"At most, I'll help you keep an eye on who those hearing members have been talking to latelyβ"
Just then, the door was pushed open again.
Hillary was immediately on fire.
"That's enough, don't you know how to knock?"
"I'm sorry, I'm really in a hurry," Kerry walked into the room quickly while apologizing apologetically, took out the document that he had tucked under his arm, and put it on Hillary's desk, looking anxious, "Japan announced that it has joined the Earth Defense Alliance, and our people have just confirmed the news. β
Hillary raised her eyebrows, "Just confirmed?What the hell are the CIA guys doing?"
"The Japanese are very careful that their Diet has not even discussed this matter publicly. β
"It's not in order!"
"It's not the first time they've disobeyed the rules, and Asian countries are all doing this!" Kerry couldn't help but scold.
It is true that this is not the first time that Japan has done such a thing, bypassing the Diet. It's just that last time it was for the interests of the United States, and this time it was for the United States not to let the United States know......
After a pause, Kerry grimaced, "The most fearful thing has happened, and it is said that they are now revisiting the security treaty with us. β
"How dare they ......" A cold sweat suddenly broke out from Hillary's back.
The legal basis for the U.S. military presence in Japan is the Japan-U.S. Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security, signed on January 9, 1960, for a period of 10 years, after which it can be abrogated by either side with one year's prior notice. After the expiration of the treaty in 1970, it was automatically extended by the two countries without notice of abrogation.
Today, the U.S. military presence in East Asia is no longer supervising the defeated countries of World War II, but is a military force that realizes the U.S. rebalance to the Asia-Pacific region. Japan's willingness to act as a pawn of the United States is also aimed at using the protective umbrella of the United States to pave the way for its outward expansion.
This is also the fundamental reason why the two sides have not mentioned terminating the contract for more than 40 years.
In order to retain the US troops, the Japanese government even did not hesitate to offend the people, and assumed $5.2 billion in military spending every year.
However, since the Tokyo Resident Crisis and the resignation of Prime Minister Abe, the right-wing forces have collapsed. Now the rise of the new country and the development and expansion of outer space resources have completely cut off Japan's idea of expanding outward and completely embraced the thigh of the Earth Defense Alliance.
As a result, the desire to keep troops stationed in Japan has turned from an instant agreement to wishful thinking on the part of the United States.
It's said that the treaty is being re-discussed, but I'm afraid it's ready to start driving people out......
If the weakness of the US Combined Fleet in the western Pacific has only slightly weakened Hillary's approval ratings, then the loss of Japanese military bases by the United States will become a complete political stain on her.
This time, Hillary Clinton was really panicked. (To be continued.) )
