Chapter Capitol Hill, Tempered Cement Controversy
Huaxia's use of stealth fighter groups to seize the Diaoyu Islands by force has shocked all countries. Strangely, the threat theory did not appear again, and the United States expressed its blessings to China for the first time, and other Western countries also echoed it. This very different reaction feels strange.
In the past, as long as there was a little new development in China's weapons, other countries would make a big fuss and exaggerate it, saying that China's military development threatened them. But now, Huaxia's stealth fighter group has flown into the sky, Huayang brand super engines lead the world, and Shenlong transport aircraft is world-class. The breakthrough development of the three military technologies has demonstrated the hard power of the world. Oddly enough, the threat theory is gone.
When a country is truly strong and can really threaten others, the threat theory will disappear. Because the threat theory is just a tool of public opinion, a tool to exert pressure on Huaxia, when Huaxia is really too powerful to be contained, the tool of public opinion loses its role. When others are really afraid, they won't shout, they will really admit you.
In the jungle of the world, there is always only one law, and that is the respect of the strong.
The strong will always be respected, so when Huaxia is really strong, others don't call it anymore, and in exchange, there are all kinds of flattery. The superpower of the United States is no exception.
At this moment, under the Capitol Building with the Statue of Liberty on its head, an unprecedented meeting was held.
Capitol Hill, which represents the Senate and House of Representatives, used to be the president only when the president was inaugurated, or when he delivered his State of the Union address, and when lawmakers passed the law. But now, as part of discussions to change relations with China, the three major powers have gathered at the Capitol. The current Capitol Hill has concentrated all the power of the United States.
In the Capitol, on the podium, President Obama walked up to the stage with a stack of materials and speeches.
"Ladies and gentlemen, parliamentarians, hello everyone, today we have a very important issue to discuss, that is, where should our relations with Huaxia go from here? China is already really strong, military, politically and economically, they are the most powerful country besides us. Due to the different political environment of our countries, the two countries have never been able to become true friends. We need to change this situation, we need everyone to have their opinions, we need to reformulate the relationship with China, which is related to the future of all the people of the United States, and even the future of our planet, when the two superpowers become true friends, I believe that there is no difficulty that can stop us.

After the president's speech, the audience erupted in a faint round of applause, and it seems that many Chinese people are afraid of making friends with Chinese people. But in any case, the arrogance of the people of the United States has changed, and the president's speech represents that the government has recognized the fact of the rise of China.
Among the hundreds of congressmen, Senator Howard stood up: "Your Excellency, may I ask what kind of relationship the White House has decided to develop with Huaxia." ”
President Obama replied with a smile: "Comprehensive strategic relations, from military, to political, to science and technology, to industry, to commerce, the United States will sign a large number of agreements with China, we will lift the arms embargo on China, cancel the high-tech blockade against China, cancel the political discrimination against China, we will not sanction any enterprises in China, and our media will definitely not demonize China again." 『』”
"Your Excellency, if we really do this, we show our friendship with China, but what about the interests of the United States? The arms embargo will be lifted, China's military strength will increase exponentially, and the high-tech blockade will be lifted, and Huaxia will use its manpower advantages, capital advantages, and science and technology obtained from our country, and they will develop faster, which will make a large number of people lose their jobs and have an impact on the economy of China. ”
"Mr. Councilor, we have blocked Huaxia for so many years, has it worked? Under our blockade, they have developed more powerful weapons, more advanced fighters, in terms of economy, our blockade, did not make China more and more backward, but they began to develop towards an innovative country, their scientific and technological development speed is faster than that of the United States, if we don't make this friend now, maybe when they are stronger than us, it will be their turn to blockade us and sanction us. Now we have reached a crossroads, in which direction does the country need to go, whether we need a strong enemy, or a strong friend. It's all up to you, councillors, to vote. Next, we will begin to formulate a bill on relations with China, endorse the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership with China, and recognize that China is a friend of our country, please start voting. 『』”
The voting machines in front of each councillor start to light up, and the members who approve it only need to press it.
In the Congress, members of the Senate and House of Representatives engaged in heated discussions, and in the end, most of them chose to start a new relationship with China.
Half an hour later, when the voting ended, President Obama smiled: "The results of this vote show that 54.5 percent of the lawmakers voted in favor of the bill, and 45.5 percent of the lawmakers chose us to maintain the current relationship with China, well, we are very clear about the future of the relationship with China." Now we are talking about a new bill, the White House intends to ask Huaxia to transfer tempered cement, the transfer cost of this technology, up to 1.5 trillion US dollars, we will negotiate with Huaxia, if 1 trillion US dollars, we will agree to import this technology. Now we need the passage of Congress to decide whether to cause this technology, and now, the parliamentarians can speak and discuss, and we will still vote to decide. ”
As soon as the president's speech stopped, a chubby senator Delon in the audience was already standing up angrily: "Oh my God! Your Excellency the President, a trillion dollars, my God, the United States only earns about $4 trillion a year in tax revenue, and spends a trillion dollars to import a cement technology, Your Excellency the President, don't you think that spending such taxpayers' money will cause public outrage? ”
President Obama shrugged: "Mr. Senator, obviously, you don't know the value of this cement, it can extend the life of roads and houses in the United States by 100 to 200 years, houses and roads with tempered cement will be as hard as steel, and we will lose more than $5 billion from a hurricane, this technology can save us hundreds of billions of dollars a year, trillions in ten years, Mr. Senator, we don't spend taxpayers' money in vain, on the contrary, We are importing this technology in the best interests of our country. 『』”
Senator DeLong shook his huge ass and sat down like a fat penguin: "If this technology is really so effective and helps the United States so much, maybe we can import it, but Your Excellency, where do we get a trillion dollars, don't forget that our country has a huge deficit, and you can only use $100,000 for yourself, President." Too much of a burden will crush us. ”
"Mr. Senator, we can issue Treasury bonds, or we can raise some taxes to raise these money, and if everyone agrees, the government will negotiate with Huaxia, and we will ask for installments, over three years, or five years, to give them a trillion dollars. The United States is capable of withstanding this pressure. ”
As soon as President Obama's words fell, Rep. George stood up unhappily: "Your Excellency, I don't approve of this deal either. If we really spend a trillion dollars to import this technology from China, it will have a great impact on our country, and it is very likely to cause our country's economic recession. ”
"Councillor George, can you tell us why you think that."
"Your Excellency President, my idea is well-founded, our country is a country of immigrants, and our country's economic development and scientific and technological development rely on the elites who have immigrated to our country. If we spend a trillion dollars to import a technology from China, we will release a message to these elites, and the subconscious will tell them that the technology of the Chinese people is already ahead of us. There is only one consequence, and that is that these elites will turn the focus of their work to China. They will emigrate to China in large numbers, and the loss of talents will cause fatal damage to our country. These immigrants have no national consciousness, and their loyalty to the United States is only based on the superior conditions of our country, the rich material, and the good political and living environment. ”
Councillor George's speech was very sensible, and many councillors at the scene agreed with Councillor George's words.
President Obaba was silent for a moment, then confidently said, "Congressman George, your statement is important, but I think this concern is unwarranted. There is a big gap between China's political, material, and cultural environment. We did a survey, 85% of the young people in China who are about 30 years old are tired and vomit about TV, because TV only shows old-fashioned anti-Japanese war themes and sour martial arts TV, as well as rural life films, and these young people prefer our Hollywood movies. For the Internet, online games, and movies, the state also has many prohibitions, and young people in China are miserable when they speak online, and some people need to spend half an hour pulling out a handful of hair in order to post a complete post. It is said that 90 percent of people who have posted online in China have cursed the state for restricting their right to speak. ”
President Obama smiled confidently: "So, a country that even bans Internet freedom can't compare with the United States in terms of entertainment." No one in the United States can spend a day in this environment, let alone our elite. I believe that the attractiveness of the United States is still far stronger than that of China. If we were to ban the passage of this bill because we were concerned about the brain drain, it would be contrary to freedom and human rights. This goes against the spirit of democracy in the United States. The only way to attract talents, is to give them a better environment, better treatment, in this regard, the United States has always dominated the world, if Huaxia begins to compete with us in this area, isn't this a good thing? This kind of healthy competition will stimulate talents to improve their abilities so that they can survive in a better environment. ”
Councilor George nodded and sat down: "Your Excellency, you are right, a country that has to ban even posting a post will not be able to attract our talents for a hundred years. Not to mention their backward legal system. Well, I retract what I have just said, and I associate myself with His Excellency the President. ”
"Okay, then let's vote now on whether to introduce tempered cement."
