At noon on 2 April, US Ambassador to China Joseph Prueher made an urgent appointment to meet with Fan Wuai.

Fan Wuxi felt more and more depressed. In the case of the Sino-US plane collision, it is natural for the country to look for itself, but the Americans are also looking for themselves, and they really think that they can control the whole situation?

However, he has promised the top management that as an important figure in the business circles between China and the United States, he will do some work to thread the needle, so that this incident will develop to the benefit and prevent it from causing a large-scale all-out confrontation between China and the United States, in which case no one will have a good life.

Therefore, Fan accepted Prueher's request for a meeting and met with U.S. Ambassador to China Prueher and his entourage, a total of six people, at the headquarters of Fan's Investment Group.

After the two sides met, Prueher repeated what he had said to the Chinese representative before with Fan Wuxian, and then said, "Sino-US relations have reached another crisis since the bombing of the embassy, and as the US ambassador to China who has experienced that period of history, I personally think that it is very difficult to maintain the current hard-won diplomatic relations." ”

Fan Wuxian waved his hand and said, "If the ambassador comes to visit my company for a private visit, then I and the Fan Investment Group are very happy to welcome it, but this is a problem of Sino-US relations." It doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, does it? You're probably looking for the wrong person, and you should discuss this matter with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. ”

Prueher immediately replied, "If Sino-US relations encounter a major cold snap, the impact on Fan's investment group will also be great, and for this reason, Mr. Fan should not stay out of the matter, not to mention that the White House and the Pentagon also hope that Mr. Fan can play an active role in promoting the good development of Sino-US relations." ”

It turned out that Prueher was just a front station, that is, to test Fan Wuxi's tone, after all, as one of the largest chaebols in the world, Fan Wuxi's huge social influence in China is very amazing, not to mention that there is also a Fan Heng among the top leaders.

Therefore, the Americans believe that if they can use Fan Wuxian as a bridge for negotiations between the two countries, and play some role in mending the relationship between the two countries and bargaining, the effect should be very good.

Therefore, after Prueher contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, his next stop was Fan Wuji, which was also a request of the White House, after all, the Pentagon had cooperated with Fan Wuji's company behind the scenes, and was well aware of Fan's huge influence.

Prueher said unabashedly to Fan, "The opinion in the White House is very clear, no matter which direction public opinion develops, we should effectively guide it to avoid more uncontrollable incidents, and in addition to the negotiations at the table, our personal communication is also very important." ”

What he meant was that he still hoped that Fan Wuxian would create some buffer for negotiations between the two countries through personal connections. In case there is too much deadlock in the negotiation process, which leads to the two sides not being able to ride the tiger and finally misfire.

"It's in the best interest of both of us to resolve this matter as soon as possible." Prueher made his point.

Fan Wuxian quickly grasped the meaning of the Americans, and inferred from Prueher's words that the Bush administration was still relatively nervous at this time, not because it was worried about the outbreak of a greater conflict between China and the United States, but because it was worried that its ability to govern would be questioned by all sectors of society.

If a quick settlement cannot be reached at this time, the Chinese side will inevitably use this matter as a bargaining chip to hang the appetite of the Americans, so that they will have to spend a lot of time and energy discussing the crisis caused by this incident and the solution, and at the same time face the doubts of the American media and opposition forces, which is a headache.

In particular, Bush Jr. has only been in office for two months, and he has encountered such a big incident, and the cowboy president, who has not yet fully integrated into the life of the White House, has obviously suffered a blow to the head, and he feels a little confused for a while.

Although it is said that Bush Jr.'s personal staff is strong, most of the staff teams that have been taken over from Bush Sr. are inclined to have a little more retired military generals, so the Bush Jr. administration is relatively tougher than the previous Clinton administration.

Obviously, the new US administration, which represents the interests of the military, hopes to launch a few more local wars in the world and spend some war money to enrich its deflated purse. However, it can also reflect from the side some tendencies and changes in the China policy of the Bush Jr. administration since it took office.

Once the process of handling this matter drags on for too long, it will inevitably make the media question Bush Jr.'s ability to govern, so the White House has contacted Fan Wujian through Prueher, who is in Beijing, in the hope that he can promote a quick resolution of the incident.

After figuring out what the Americans thought, Fan Wuxian pondered for a while, and then said to Prueher, "Since the White House is so sincere in resolving this matter, then I think we still have a certain basis for cooperation." ”

"Just as Mr. Fan said." Prueher heard the loosening in Fan Wuxian's tone, and immediately responded enthusiastically.

"But what's in it for me?" Fan Wuxian asked coldly again.

"Benefits?" Prueher was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Fan Wuxi to ask for benefits in person.

For a while, Prueher didn't know how to deal with it, after all, the mission he received was to persuade Fan Wuxian to act as a bridge between China and the United States, and he did not say what conditions he would agree to Fan Wuxi.

"And what do you want?" Prueher asked, grabbing his hair.

"Don't worry, I'll try to help you coordinate first, and it's not too late to talk about the remuneration later, I can't run away anyway." In this regard, Fan Wuxian was not in a hurry at all and said with a smile.

Shortly after Prueher's visit to Van Wuai, George W. Bush made a series of speeches at the White House, saying that the United States' priority was for the crew to return to the United States as soon as possible and for the reconnaissance plane to be returned to the United States in its entirety without "sabotage or manipulation." He also claimed that the incident could undermine hopes for a fruitful relationship between the two countries. At the same time, three destroyers of the US Navy left the aircraft carrier formation and went cruising near Hainan Island.

The attitude and practices of the US side have provoked a strong reaction from the Chinese public and have also been strongly condemned by the international community.

The Chinese high-level officials clearly pointed out that the responsibility for the collision lies entirely with the US side, and the US side should apologize to the Chinese people and immediately stop all reconnaissance flights in the airspace off China's coastal areas.

"Obviously, the White House is not very aware of it. Who are they fighting against—" Fan said in a subsequent meeting with the top brassiao.

"What does Prueher mean?" A Standing Committee member asked.

Fan replied, "Prueher is just a microphone, and the real voice is still in the White House, but now the most hopeful thing to solve this matter as soon as possible is actually on the Pentagon's side." ”

"You mean to say that there is no agreement between the White House and the Pentagon?" Doubts were expressed.

Fan nodded and replied, "That's true." ”

This seems to be very incredible at home, in the face of such a big event, there is no unity of opinion in the United States, and the White House and the Pentagon cannot speak with one voice?

"The Pentagon is the spokesperson of the arms dealers, this time the US EP-3 military reconnaissance plane landed at the military airport in Hainan, the most anxious is them, if they can not return in time, what kind of losses will be caused, several major arms companies are the most anxious, once there is a leak here, then many of their related products need to be completely updated, the cost of doing so is very large." "The White House, on the other hand, doesn't need to think much about this, and they want to do a reshuffle of the arms dealers." ”

"So, what does Mr. Fan think we can gain from this incident?" Someone asked.

"Actually, that's the way it is. The hemp pole beats the wolf, and both ends are afraid. "As the two nuclear powers and the two countries with the most important relations in international trade, it is impossible for China and the United States to let the incident get out of control, leading to a full-scale confrontation between the two countries." ”

Everyone nodded their heads, agreeing with Fan Wuxi's point of view.

Then Fan Wuxian went on to point out, "We lost a fighter plane and a good pilot, but the Americans lost a little more, and this is a real problem." So I think. It's not feasible to want too much, but the right benefits can be gained, after all, this time we're getting both and man. I think that the permanent trade MFN treatment that has been striving for should be available, TO should also be determined, compensation is actually dispensable, compensation is more, the US Congress cannot pass, compensation is less, that is an insult to the Chinese, even we can get some technical intelligence information, for example, in terms of airborne anti-submarine technology, there must be a lot of good things on the EP-3 military reconnaissance aircraft, because this thing itself is a model for anti-submarine. In addition, there is another good thing on this, which is the voice recognition system. ”

"Voice recognition system?" Some of the people here didn't know this very well, so they all asked with some curiosity.

Fan Wuxian nodded and replied, "That's right, it's the voice recognition system." ”

There is some information, even the Security Bureau has not obtained at this time, especially what good things are in the EP-3 military reconnaissance plane, which is not very clear in China.

Although the EP-3 has become the focus of international media attention after the Sino-US plane collision incident, the Pentagon has always been secretive about what advanced systems were installed on this reconnaissance plane.

But Fan Wuxi, who has experienced many things later, knows very well that the automatic voice recognition system installed on this plane is powerful, as long as the person being scouted has a conversation over the radio, the system can find out the identity of the caller, especially the identity of the senior leader.

Prior to this, the US military had never disclosed a trace of this system to the outside world, and it was precisely by relying on this extremely powerful system that the US military had mastered a large amount of top-secret intelligence on other countries.

The Pentagon specially invited military and civilian linguists to conduct a comprehensive and in-depth study of the languages of the countries being reconnoitred, and developed a unique electronic monitoring system, which can immediately identify the caller as long as the US military intercepts the other party's call. In this way, we can judge the value of the information obtained from it.

To do this, it was unimaginable before, because the noise problem could not be solved. Now, the U.S. military has mastered the relevant technology, and after intercepting the other party's call, the monitoring system can delete other noises such as static electricity by itself, and then identify the identity of the caller by comparing it with the sound database.

The EP-3 aircraft is equipped with the most advanced signal interceptor of the US intelligence department, which was jointly designed by top US intelligence experts and computer experts, and organically combines tactical communications, electronic support measures, special signal processing, and utilization systems to carry out one-stop processing of the intelligence collected.

At the same time, the EP-3 also has installed a new air signals intelligence collection system, which is an important component of the joint signals intelligence aircraft modernization program recently completed by the US military, which can greatly improve the on-board processing capability of electronic communication signals intercepted during reconnaissance.

The US National Security Agency is an electronic reconnaissance agency under the jurisdiction of the Pentagon, and it has always regarded voice recognition technology as the focus of its research.

If the United States is not familiar with some lower-level officials in other countries, or because they are not very interested, they cannot or do not want to identify them on the phone, then the top leaders of other countries are all recognized.

For example, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi is the target of the US intelligence agencies, and now, whenever Gaddafi uses Libya's communication network to make a call, the voice recognition system will immediately alert the staff: Gaddafi is on the phone, please pay attention.

"In fact, as early as the seventies, the US National Security Agency had mastered the technology of mobile phone voice recognition, and if Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev was driving in a car on a certain street in Moscow, and he used his mobile phone to talk to other people, the NSA's voice recognition system would immediately confirm Brezhnev's identity, and his conversation would be immediately recorded by NSA staff." "The system can even tell if it's Brezhnev in the car or someone else's hiccup, and the listener can even tell if the person being listened on has a cold." ”

"Grass!" Someone scolded, "How come our security services don't know about this information?!" ”

It is indeed a very humiliating thing, such an important piece of information, the security intelligence department is at a loss, so that everyone knows that this is an anti-submarine reconnaissance plane, but they do not know that there is such a thing on it.

There are no pop-ups
