Vice Admiral Johansen continued: "Of course, in addition to supporting you politically and providing you with a certain amount of military assistance, and at the same time, in the event of an invasion by foreign enemies, we will send troops as soon as possible to help you defend and ensure your safety, and we can also give you a certain amount of interest-free loans, which can give you some ships for defense and patrol." Long-term residents of your island can enter our United States without a visa. ”

Guo Shucheng shook his hand and said, "No! no！ If you say this to others, others may be bewitched by you, and they will not hesitate to agree to you, and then become a small satellite of yours. But I won't. Because I have no interest in being a king on this little island, and I am not interested in taking on the lives of the poor fishermen and natives. I'm not a power-hungry person. Besides, it is impossible to exert power as a king on this deserted island, and there are too few people to manage it.

If the economy here does not develop, not to mention the guarantee for the fishermen who have heard the news, it will be very difficult to support the servants around them. Your Excellency, do you think I care if this island is independent or not? Will I lose anything else for the sake of this so-called king's throne, or to put it more bluntly, will I lose my bright future in China? I'm not so naïve! ”

Lieutenant General Johansen hurriedly said: "You have so many assets, you have huge connections in China, the United States, the Middle East and other countries, if your island is independent, you will definitely make a lot of money, far more than you can make in China." Although you have achieved a certain political status in China, you should not forget that China is a socialist country, and what they pursue is, and you are a real bourgeoisie. What you do is no different from that of our country's capitalists. Now, you have a huge role to play in China, and they naturally recognize you and are open to what you do.

However, wait until your contribution to China is small, when your business empire reaches a certain size that they have to pay attention to, or when your business empire becomes a threat to China, and when your business empire is important to China. For example, when there is a monopoly on oil, computers, etc., you are going to hell, that is, when they clean you up. You don't think that this won't happen, you don't think that you won't create a monopoly, it's the law of business. You just want to avoid it, and you can't avoid it. So, you have to be prepared for both, and you have to choose a path beforehand. ”

Guo Zhuocheng said with a smile: "Your Excellency just said that you are a pure soldier, but now you are talking about the economy, and you are talking about politics. Actually, I don't think we have to mix it up. Let's talk about interests. ”

"Interests?" Lieutenant General Johansen asked.

Guo Zhuocheng said affirmatively: "Yes, we only talk about interests. The ancient Chinese once said a sentence, and I think it is very true: the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Your Excellency is here today for the sake of the national interests of the United States. The reason why I am here to meet with Your Excellency is also for the sake of China's interests. In that case, why don't we open our hearts and minds? ”

Lieutenant General Johansen lowered his voice and said, "When the ancients of your country talked about interests, they didn't necessarily mean to the interests of the country, right? I think it's more about private interests. ”

Guo Zhuocheng smiled and asked, "Could it be that Your Excellency came here in a private capacity?" ”

Lieutenant General Johansen said embarrassedly: "No. No, I'm in the military. But hopefully Mr. Guo is in a private capacity. In other words, we in the United States can give Mr. Guo a lot of personal benefits. ”

Guo Zhuocheng said: "Your Excellency the lieutenant general said that he was a military official, and what he said was the identity of a government official. I don't want to know in what capacity you are talking to me, but I just want to ask Your Excellency: If I don't have China's backing, would Your Excellency really be interested in talking to me? Even if you want to talk about it, its effect will be reduced by at least 70 or 80 percent. ......, Your Excellency, we are all short on time, so let's be open and honest about our respective goals and the benefits that each can provide to the other. I'll say it first, and then you say. ”

Guo Zhuocheng glanced at Lieutenant General Johansen and said: "I will definitely not leave China, a small Night Pearl Island will definitely not attract me, and only people like Halleps have this interest, and I will even give up the island owner or the so-called kingship." However, out of gratitude to your country, and considering the benefits of this island to our navy and to the fishermen of the distant-water fisher, I can promise to accept the poor fishermen in the surrounding area, and I can solve some of the difficulties for you, as long as they can meet our work needs, I can hire them to work here, and the relevant salary standards can be compared with those of Western countries, which will greatly exceed the average salary of our Chinese workers.

In order to jointly deal with the Soviet Union, I have been entrusted by our central leadership to promise your country to participate in the blockade of the Soviet Union on a certain basis. But if you want us to restrain the Soviet Navy, then please transfer to our country the technology for the manufacture of large warships, anti-submarine technology, radar, and sonar technology. In this way, we will be able to deal with the USSR, otherwise we will not be able to help you much. In addition, we hope that your country can help us in the application for the Olympic Games and transfer the relevant large engine technology and satellite telemetry and remote sensing technology in space. I hope that you will relax the restrictions on our technology exports, and do not ask us to do our part on your behalf and ask us to act as cannon fodder for you in the United States, and on the other hand, prevent us from harming your interests. ”

Lieutenant General Johansen said: "Didn't Mr. Guo just say that you have a rope that binds the Soviet Union? ”

Guo Zhuocheng said: "Our rope is on land, in the sky, but not in the navy. You are a vice admiral, and naturally you know the naval power of our country well. Do you think that after you transfer some technology, our navy will be able to threaten your navy? ”

Lieutenant General Johansen smiled proudly and said, "On the issue of the right to host the Olympics, my country can support you." However, it is very difficult for China to make big concessions in terms of warship manufacturing technology and space technology transfer, and we must make some assessments according to your country's technological level. ”

Guo said: "I don't need too many assessments. It is certain that our warship manufacturing technology is not as high as yours, but it is definitely not as bad as you have estimated. We are not uncommon in general warship manufacturing technology, and we hope to wait for the manufacturing technology of aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines. ”

Vice Admiral Johansen was shocked, looked at Guo Zhuocheng in disbelief, and asked, "Do you need aircraft carrier manufacturing technology?" Do you want an aircraft carrier fleet? ”

Guo Shucheng asked rhetorically, "Is there anything strange about this?" Of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, four countries now have aircraft carrier fleets, and only we, China, do not have them. In international affairs, our role in China is obviously greater than that of Britain, which is closely behind you, and much more than that of France, which is ostensibly independent. ......, it is normal and natural for us to have aircraft carriers. As for nuclear submarines, our country already has them, but you also know that our technology is not related, and the technology of nuclear submarines of such a large country as you is too far away. We need a lot of technology to update it. ”

Vice Admiral Johansen said: "Your technology in the manufacture of warships is too backward, cruisers, destroyers, etc. are not yet available, and carrier-based aircraft have not been seen, how can you form an aircraft carrier fleet?" You don't think that with aircraft carriers you can form an aircraft carrier fleet, do you? Then it will only become a target for the other party, a living coffin on the sea. It's not so much the ultimate weapon as it is the widow-maker. ”

Guo Shucheng said with a smile: "Your Excellency, you can rest assured, if we have an aircraft carrier, we will have destroyers, cruisers, and advanced submarines to escort it." ”

Vice Admiral Johansen said: "However, I have to regret to tell Mr. Guo that the Soviet Red Navy is not sufficient to pose a substantial threat to our American Navy. ”

Guo Zhuocheng asked, "What is a substantial threat?" As far as I know, the threat to Eastern Europe and to Northern Europe from the Black Sea Fleet and the Baltic Fleet of the USSR was enormous, and many countries have been calling for NATO to intensify its confrontation with the Soviet Navy. And the NATO Navy is not as powerful as you think. If the NATO navy is strong, how can Britain be helpless in the face of a country as weak as Argentina, such a weak navy? ”

Vice Admiral Johansen said sarcastically: "If your country does not sell YJ-801 anti-ship missiles, how many days can the Argentine Navy hold out?" Can their Falklands War end with dignity as it does now? When Mr. Guo talks about this now, is he showing off the excellent quality of your anti-ship missiles? I think Mr. Guo should also know that the United States has anti-ship missiles that are not inferior to your country, right? ”

Guo Zhuocheng said: "What is the quality of our anti-ship missiles, the feelings of users are the most real, and I don't need to show off here." What I mean is that when a country or group thinks it is powerful, it is likely that because the other side has one or two killer weapons, the powerful country or group will be in a hurry, and the tide of war will probably not go their way. Your Excellency, what do you think? ”

Lieutenant General Johansen took a sip of coffee and asked, "Does Mr. Guo mean that the Soviet Union now has advanced weapons against us, and we must have the help of your country to sit back and relax?" I can confidently say that as long as the USSR does not use nuclear missiles against us and our allies, their naval forces are not worth mentioning. We are more than capable of defeating them, no matter where they choose to fight. Of course, they do not have the right to choose the battlefield, and the entire ocean of the world is not something they can run amok with. Not in the USSR, not in other countries, the sea can only belong to us, the United States, hahaha......"
