For Americans, all beliefs are just a means to pass the time and fool the people, and the only thing that is truly eternal is interests, the so-called national interests, and the interests of the big American corporations are truly eternal.
Clinton was already the spokesman for the northern consortium at this time, and the consortium spent money to support him to the throne, but not to see how he embarrassed a freighter for the Chinese in the Persian Gulf; if such a small thing of sesame mung beans affected normal trade relations between China and the United States, and might even trigger a major war, he was afraid that he would not even be able to see the sun tomorrow.
Clinton had an emergency phone call with Beijing, and this special line is also a special line that China and the United States have connected since the establishment of diplomatic relations.
Sure enough, the answer given by Beijing for the recent military build-up is a normal military movement, and there is nothing surprising about it.
"The impact of tension in the Taiwan Strait on Sino-US relations will not be positive, right?" Clinton asked.
Beijing replied,
"Summer is coming, and our soldiers go to the south to fight the flood."
"So what's going on with North Korea? Our intelligence department has received information that your military column to North Korea can transport 200,000 soldiers! Clinton asked a little depressed.
Beijing replied,
"The life of the North Korean people is very tense, they lack food and clothing, and we use the military to send them rice." Clinton's nose is about to be crooked, flood fighting?
Shipping rice? Do you need so many people? Besides, he also learned about the situation in China, isn't the flood fighting always in the Yangtze River Basin?
Do I need to use a military train to transport rice? Isn't this a liar?
"The American people hope. The Chinese Government can participate in international affairs in a responsible manner. Clinton thought about it for a moment and said.
Beijing immediately replied,
"The Chinese also hope that the U.S. government can remove the CIA, which has a mess of intelligence work, from the side of the Chinese freighter."
"The matter of the freighter is a trivial matter, but the American people want to see stability and prosperity in the Taiwan Strait and peace on the Korean Peninsula." Clinton said.
"If the ship reaches its destination, the hopes of the American people will also be fulfilled." Beijing replied.
"The freighter can get to its destination without any problems." Clinton assured. After Clinton put down the phone, he said to Powell and James. Woolsey said,
"Alright. **.coM*** get rid of those CIA locals for me. Rein in your sailors! β
"Did the Chinese promise to restore everything to its original state?" James. Woolsey asked.
"It's you, James. Woolsey, it's your people who are the first to destroy the status quo! Clinton pointed at James with some anger. Woolsey said,
"This time, the CIA needs to be prepared to deal with congressional inquiries, and I'm sure the lawmakers will be interested in this matter, so think about what you should say to them, right?" Powell shrugged his shoulders and said with a hint of relief.
"By dispatching a few CIA agents, you can make the Chinese mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops, and Director Robert Jr. is still very capable." Robert Jr. is James. Woolsey's nickname, Powell called him so, but it seemed very disrespectful to him.
James. Woolsey glanced at Powell with some annoyance, and said to Clinton a little unwillingly,
"What if the ship was indeed carrying sensitive supplies? Or they can use these raw materials to make more chemical weapons, thus threatening the lives of American soldiers in the Middle East! Clinton rubbed his forehead and replied,
"Chemical weapons don't do much in front of powerful U.S. soldiers. **.coM*** But Chinese's nuclear weapons can hit New York and Washington at any time. James. Director Woolsey, get those of your people out of my way! β
"Yes! Mr. President! "James. Woolsey replied with some resignation. The captain of the Chinese freighter Yinhe suddenly found that the Americans who had been surrounding him recently had been withdrawn overnight, and the empty sea made people feel a little uncomfortable.
He immediately contacted the country. I was given instructions to move on to my destination.
"It looks like the Americans are deflated." The captain muttered to himself. Received news of the evacuation of the Americans.
Beijing is also relieved, after all, things have really gotten to the point of tearing their faces. It is not good for anyone, the Soviets lost in front of the Yankees and became a CIS, although the Chinese say that US imperialism is a paper tiger, but this paper tiger has also bitten many people, and it is best to be able to solve it peacefully.
A week later, when the Galaxy turned around and returned, Clinton met James in his office. Woolsey,
"What do those shit informants do for your food?!" James. Woolsey scratched his bare head with his hand and replied cautiously,
"Mr. President, the CIA's funding has been much lower recently, my intelligence agents have not been able to gather more accurate information, and the government's suppression of us has greatly threatened the national security of the United States. I suggest that the President inform Congress in the form of a proposal to increase the annual budget for the CIA to ensure that the national interests of the United States are reliably safeguarded! β
"I'll put aside the budget for now, but I want to ask you, why didn't your intelligence agents know that the middle ** column bound for North Korea was really filled with rice? And those Chinese soldiers who were transported to Fujian were really there to fight the flood? Clinton asked angrily.
"I don't have enough money to get more accurate information." James. No matter how much Clinton embarrassed himself, Woolsey always said that he was not funded enough to send him away, which is really a model of not changing everything.
"Hell, it's not well funded---- Clinton, although he was a little annoyed, but there was nothing good to do. Woolsey was just appointed by himself, and if he were to be removed now, wouldn't that mean that he was a naΓ―ve president who had not yet opened his mind?
However, Clinton also realized a little at the moment, probably because he was tricked. You must know that his predecessor, President George H.W. Bush, served as the director of the CIA for a long time before, and today's incident may not have been instigated by him, a president who was ambitious for re-election won the Gulf War, but was defeated by the young governor of Arkansas, who had not yet dried up.
For example, it is not impossible to confuse yourself and make yourself wrong through some false information.
Clinton thought that if it were not for the Chinese who showed great indignation at the beginning this time, or if he would continue along the line of thinking of teasing the Chinese and see where the bottom line of the Chinese was, in that case, maybe this incident would really evolve into a great crisis and have an immeasurable negative impact on his position.
"Oh God!" Clinton figured out this layer and couldn't help but be surprised,
"Old Cowboy Bush is such a lunatic! Their family is crazy! For the sake of a little personal grudge, he actually wants to drag the two big countries into the quagmire of war! It's horrible! "The supporters of the Bush family, Clinton knows, are all domestic arms dealers, and they wish that there was a war every day in the world!
What a bunch of crazy people!
"James. Director Woolsey, I'm going to raise the budget with Congress in advance, but you also have to fight for it, and you have to clean up the CIA's personnel, and you can't use unreliable elements who defy the interests of the country! "Clinton vs. James. Woolsey demanded.
As for those unreliable elements, Clinton knows in his heart that James is the same as James. Woolsey knows better in his heart that the people who are close to Bush Sr. in the CIA are also for James. It was a measure of Woolsey's position that he was happy to follow.
Besides, there are a lot of doorways to hit a group of people and promote a group of people, James. Woolsey's eyes immediately rolled again, and he wondered how much he could gain from it.
In Beijing, Boss Zhu asked Fan Wuxian with some curiosity,
"How can you be sure that the floods in Fujian are serious this year? And what about the famine in North Korea? The combination of these two things and our actions is simply flawless, it is really a stroke of genius, no wonder the old man has been praising you, you are a master of the art of fighting, a character who can make a lot of money in the United States, you are indeed a genius! "There was indeed a famine in North Korea, and floods did occur in Fujian, so the military's actions on both sides have received good results, especially after the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea, North Korea's enthusiasm for China has greatly declined, this time the snow to send charcoal, can be regarded as a solution to their urgent needs, Jin Sun is very satisfied with this matter, feel that at the critical moment, the Chinese are still willing to take the initiative to help them, so the relationship between the two countries is rapidly repairing."
Fan Wuxian shrugged his shoulders and said,
"Businessmen's noses are the most sensitive, so it's normal to be well-informed, and it's good that the country is now doing business with the Koreans, and through the Koreans, you can indeed get some advanced technology, but it's far less convenient than getting technology directly from the Americans. It just so happens that I have such channels, so I can know that there is a famine in North Korea, and I can also know that the South Koreans use some second-hand technology to prevaricate the Chinese. β
"You mean, instead of dealing with Koreans, you should go directly to Americans?" Boss Zhu asked.
"The current situation in the country, always rely on helping others to work to make money and develop the capital, since we want to choose a boss, of course, we have to choose a wealthy one, fattening a South Korea, what is the benefit to us?" Fan Wuxian said,
"Rather than this, it is better to develop a few more customers, such as France, such as Germany, such as the United Kingdom, you can deepen the relationship, there used to be an old saying, called long-distance friendship and close attack." Boss Zhu looked at Fan Wuxian, shrugged his shoulders and said,
"I can't call the shots about this."
