Chapter 82:-for-tat
A brightly lit conference room with blooming flowers on the table and negotiators from both sides sitting opposite each other. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Outside the huge glass wall, the nuclear submarine is quietly moored in the dock, and hundreds of hernia headlights shine from all directions, illuminating the dock as if it were daytime, and the dark nuclear boat looks like a model aircraft in the display case from a distance.
In order to show the best side of this nuclear submarine, the old chief was rarely generous, and he didn't even think about the details of the electricity bill, and he was absolutely reluctant to turn on so many headlights in normal times.
Before the negotiations began, Bush Sr. never took his eyes out of the window, looking at the submarine in the distance in a daze, his expression constantly changing, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Chen Xu was watching the every move of these Americans throughout the whole process, and in fact, from the moment they entered the base, the surveillance had already begun. Especially when they were changing clothes in the room just now, they were already eavesdropping on every word that came out of their mouths through the bugging device that was pre-installed in the room.
During the negotiation, intelligence is particularly important, Chen Xu must know the attitude of the Americans towards this submarine, sometimes a casual word or a word in the mouths of these people can give Chen Xu the upper hand in the negotiation.
The surveillances did bring an unexpected benefit, and the breakthrough was none other than the much-talkative Congresswoman of the Holy Heart, who slipped out of her mouth while changing clothes and discussing with another American female delegate in the room.
This female representative is the military secretary of the US Joint Staff, and she belongs to the category of people who have more secrets.
Maybe it's because the two women have formed a friendship along the way, and when they take off their clothes in the room, it's like disarming their defenses, and they can talk about anything. Under the questioning of the congresswoman, the female secretary said a lot of confidential things.
The US 'Joint Staff' is responsible for handling the day-to-day work of the 'Joint Chiefs of Staff,' a higher-level organization, and the chairman of the joint meeting is the de facto supreme military commander of the US military, and the members of the meeting are composed of the top commanders of various US military units, who are responsible for presiding over the formulation of US military policies and have great powers.
From the mouth of this female secretary, I learned that the joint meeting held a meeting for several days before the departure of the visiting delegation to discuss how the US military should deal with China's acquisition of Soviet nuclear submarines!
The main reason is that China has intentionally or unintentionally extended an olive branch, using Anna, a female spy, to reveal to the top level of the US military the intention of the Chinese family to cooperate with the US military in developing nuclear submarines.
The joint meeting recognized that the significance of this nuclear submarine to the US military is at the strategic level, and once the US military obtains this submarine, the secret of the Soviet submarine force will be cracked. The U.S. naval intelligence can obtain a large amount of valuable data from this nuclear submarine, and then through complex program analysis, the Soviet nuclear submarines lurking in the oceans will be exposed.
In particular, it can intercept the communication signals of the Soviet nuclear submarine, and even forge orders to make the submarine float, and perhaps the US military can also capture a Soviet strategic missile nuclear submarine.
At the joint meeting, in the words of the admiral of the US Imperial Army, this submarine had all the secrets of the Soviet Navy, and obtaining this Alpha-class nuclear submarine was like the Allies deciphering the German Engel's code during World War II. If it is true that China has a Soviet nuclear submarine, the US military will get this submarine no matter what the price is!
When Chen Xu heard this, he was overjoyed.
Since the US military top brass is determined to win this submarine, no matter how much the Chinese side opens its mouth, the US negotiators will carefully consider it, and in the end they will only bargain on the basis of China's offer, instead of vehemently rejecting the entire negotiation.
Doing business is like this, the most feared thing is that no one wants the goods, and when the goods become scarce and in demand, then the price is arbitrary.
"It's so beautiful, like a beautiful woman lying on the bed without a thread, and I'm going to fall in love with her a few more times." Bush Sr. took a sip of boiled water on the table, and then jokingly began negotiations.
"Since you like it, then find a way to get her, she is now the age to be married, and it is time to choose a husband." The old chief was also a good person, and replied with a joke, which suddenly relaxed the tense atmosphere in the conference room.
"You're the damn traffickers!" The unsmiling CIA Director Turner said that the Chinese side was actually abducting the Soviet Union's nuclear submarines to do business, which was very appropriate, and the entire conference room suddenly burst into laughter.
When the atmosphere in the conference room reached the most suitable time, Chen Xu finally opened the folder on the table and said directly in English: "We have learned the wishes of the United States, you want to obtain the information on this submarine, and my country does not agree to this matter in principle, after all, this nuclear submarine is not so much an undersea ghost as an intelligence treasure trove, and the information in it is priceless." We paid a great price to acquire this submarine, and although China and the United States may become allies, it is impossible to give you such a precious submarine. In response to repeated pleas from the US side, the Chinese side agreed to convene this meeting to discuss whether it is possible to find a balance that suits the interests of the two countries. ”
As soon as he opened his mouth, Chen Xu became a villain, because according to the pre-setting, the old chief of the negotiation should be a good person, responsible for coordinating the atmosphere of the negotiation, and not letting the negotiation collapse.
As the person in charge of the conditions, Chen Xu will be a bad guy and slaughter the fat sheep, if it can reach the level of making the Americans smash the table and leave, then it will really be cut meat.
"Who is this young man? Why can it appear in such an important meeting, and why is it impossible to do things firmly without words, and is this how much attention China attaches to this meeting? Bush Sr. is not a vegetarian either, so he changed the topic as soon as he opened his mouth, knowingly questioning Chen Xu's identity, in an attempt to disrupt Chen Xu's thinking.
The old chief played with the pen with both hands, and said with a smile: "Everyone, let me introduce first, his name is Chen Xu, and he is the person in charge of the negotiation arranged by our side at this meeting. Please don't ignore his abilities because of his age, trust me! If you do, he'll end up letting you old guys know that he's awesome. ”
"Then we'll wait and see, I hope he can be as outstanding as you say, and if he can kill us, we will lose our armor." Bush Sr. squinted his eyes at Chen Xu, this guy is only 55 years old now, he is in the prime of life, and soon he will reach the peak of his political career.
"Did you say enough was enough? Do you want to negotiate anymore! "Chen Xu deliberately kept a tight face when he entered this conference room just now, looking like everyone owed me money, and he was not polite to anyone. After all, this is a negotiation, and the US side cannot be made to think that the Chinese are all easy to talk to, and they can get the contents of the nuclear submarine by giving a little benefit, and they must be stuck in a quagmire and struggling.
"Wow! Young people, don't be in such a hurry, why don't you tell me first, at what price will the Chinese side agree to send this Soviet submarine to the United States? Bush Sr. looked at Chen Xu expressionlessly, and said that he wanted to bring the nuclear submarine back to the United States.
"Send the submarine to the United States?" Chen Xu sneered in order to lift the 0-degree glasses used for decoration on the bridge of his nose: "This is impossible, this submarine must stay in China, stay in this dock, this is the bottom line!" ”
Chen Xu will not follow the rhythm of the Americans, he must first qualitatively let the Americans understand that it is impossible for nuclear submarines to leave China, and if things are transported to the United States, it is equivalent to losing the initiative.
There have always been only interests between countries, if something is sent to the US imperialists, and the Americans will pay the debts at that time, then Chen Xu can only hide in the corner and cry.
"If the nuclear submarine is not sent to the United States, then how can we get the intelligence inside? Is it up to you to hand it over to us? Then we need to doubt the authenticity of this second-hand information. Bush Sr. shook his head, and before the price was opened, he was already asking for things to be taken home.
"This problem is very easy to solve, the United States can send technicians to disassemble and study this submarine with the Chinese side, all the work is done in public, important information can be seen and shared by China and the United States at the same time, there is no second-hand problem." Chen Xu didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, so he rushed to answer.
"The reason why intelligence is intelligence is that it must be absolutely confidential, and if the Chinese side gets the same content, we are very worried about the security of confidentiality." The elder Bush glanced at all the representatives of the Chinese negotiating delegation and showed a very distrustful expression.
Chen Xu is very wary of this old Bush, this guy is a man who wants to run for president, he must be invincible in eloquence, and he can talk eloquently about his political ideas in public, so he must respond carefully to his every word, and he will climb up the pole when he is pulled by the tail, so that Chen Xu is in a passive state.
"The Soviet Union is the common enemy of China and the United States, and after becoming friends with the United States, we will have to face the threat of the Soviet Union's steel torrent on the northern border, which will greatly reduce the burden on the European side. Chen Xu said that he would not let Bush Sr. pick up the cheap in short.
"Alright! If the submarine cannot be sent to the United States, the United States must participate in the development of the submarine throughout the whole process, and all the information obtained must ensure 100 percent safety, and if there is any leakage, the Chinese side will pay corresponding compensation! Bush Sr. seems to feel that the negotiations will reach a dead end because he is entangled in the issue of the ownership of the submarine, and besides, he also knows in his heart that there are Soviet spies everywhere in the United States, and transporting this nuclear submarine back to the United States is a big project, and the secrecy work alone will cost a lot of resources. And once it is known by the Soviets, all the intelligence in this submarine will be scrapped, and the risk is too great. It is better to dismantle this secret shipyard in China, at least China has unplugged the Soviet spy network in the country and arrested tens of thousands of people involved in the case, and at least the absolute safety of this submarine can be guaranteed here.
"There is no problem with this, and we can even agree that the project of dismantling the submarine will be mainly carried out by the US side, and we will only assist in it. However, if the information obtained is leaked by the US side, we are irresponsible! ”
As long as the submarine is in China, no matter how it is dismantled, it will not suffer. So Chen Xu generously handed over the main dismantling work, after all, when negotiating, he always had to let the other party taste some sweetness, so that he would not be too embarrassed when he slaughtered later.
