Listening to Tritt's words, the lightness on Chief Butter's face faded away, replaced by a rare seriousness.

His brow began to tighten slowly, and his fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, making rhythmic noises that seemed to silently emphasize the urgency of the situation.

From Tritt's speech, he realized that this is not just a matter of public opinion warfare, but also an incident related to national security.

Halfway through, Chief Bruce looked at Mueller solemnly and nodded, indicating that he fully agreed with these necessary precautions.

Well, he didn't have the patience to listen more, nod his head early, and finish things early.

"Mr. Tritt," Bush said, standing up, with a subtle hint of nervousness in his voice, "I need you to take care of all this. I trust your judgment and ability. ”

There was a hint of trust in Tritt in his words, but there was also a hint of ......

The cunning of shirking responsibility.

If you don't do it well, it's all the business of the people below.

This was taught by his father, the elder Bush.

And they didn't do it.

There was a hint of contempt in the words, as if mocking Mueller's naivety.

No way, a chief who has been in office for more than three years and a year on vacation, but has had two major battles, has indeed a brain circuit that is too direct and more communicative.

As for the intentions of wanting to dump the pot in Bushi's previous words, he was very clear.

It's not that he thinks Mr. Chief is unhappy with his old rival Muller.

And Muller knew that Chief Bush was sometimes too direct and lacked some mature political skills, so he patiently explained,

With so many people dying every day in China, does the chief of America have to mourn every day?

If an important person in China dies, it is understandable to mourn and mourn, and it should be, which is the respect of etiquette between countries.

On the contrary, he knew very well that the person whom Bush trusted most was Mueller.

But what is the so-called 'father of chips', in the final analysis, is just a scientific researcher, although the nature of the assassination is indeed a little worse, but it is only a small person.

can only say that his predecessors were too capable of death.

There was a hint of urgency in Müller's words, but when Chief Bush heard this, he began to grow impatient.

He frowned and spouted, "Since we didn't do it, we don't need to communicate anything with Huaguo." Their problems, they solve them themselves. ”

At this time, Mueller, the person in charge of Foberle, reminded him of the current affairs,

"Mr. Sheikh, we should speed up communication with China and other relevant countries and make a proposal to jointly investigate this matter to show our sincerity and transparency."

Just like the ant elephant he said before, it's not that he doesn't pay attention to Huaguo, but he thinks it's just a trivial matter.

"Mr. Chief, we need to give some goodwill to China. After all, we still have a lot of things that need China's support.

Brittler said it was too cheap.

Without China's cooperation, our actions will be even more difficult. ”

Therefore, the other side of Bruch's politeness will be fully revealed in front of Müller.

Verbal attitudes sometimes do not represent real attitudes.

But it can't be helped, who calls himself the person in charge of Xi Ai?

Historically, Siai was not treated well by the chiefs.

Tritt, who was on the side, listened and sighed inwardly.

Thinking of this, Mueller shrugged his shoulders, "You know, their weapons are cheap. ”

Bush understood this sentence.

The subtext of Mueller is that it will affect the collective interests of the American military-industrial complex, and that his campaign funding and votes will be in jeopardy.

Tritt echoed this proposal, adding sincerely: "Moreover, now that we are mired in war in Iraq and Central Asia, we are in great need of China's support on the international stage." ”

After all, Huaguo has only just opened its doors for a short time.

"At the same time, we can confidentially express our concerns to China through a number of channels and offer that we are willing to help, including intelligence sharing and technical support." ”

Chief Bush stood up and began pacing back and forth in his office, pondering the advice of the two intelligence chiefs.

His steps are heavy, and it seems that every step he takes weighs the future of the country.

But in his heart, he is constantly fackfak, and he has no leisure to take a vacation all day long!

Tritt elaborated further on his considerations. Mr. Chief, the center of gravity of the global economy and technology is changing as our manufacturing industry shifts to America. In this process, there will inevitably be the rise of new powers, and the rabbit in the east, Huaguo, is the most likely candidate to become a new rising power. ”

He walked over to the globe in his office, pointed to the Asian part, and continued.

"We must recognize that the rise of China is both an opportunity and a challenge for us. They have a large population base and growing economic power, as well as increasing technological and military capabilities.

Therefore, we must seize the time to deal with the legacy of the old bear era and consolidate our leadership position on the international stage before China truly rises. ”

"We need a long-term strategy, not only to deal with the current crisis, but also to lay out the future of international relations," Tritt's tone became firm and serious.

This includes strengthening cooperation with China, while also being vigilant against the threats that their rapid development may pose. We should use our influence to push for international rules and ensure that they reflect our interests and values. ”

Chief Butcher listened to Tritt's words, and also realized the seriousness and urgency of the matter, and he asked,

"So, Mr. Tritt, what do you think we should do?"

"First of all, we should strengthen cooperation with China in the economic and technological fields, and our strategic focus should be to guide China to join and integrate into the global industrial chain, and ensure that it becomes a link in this chain, rather than a spontaneous independent system."

In this way, we can indirectly influence and shape the comprehensive development direction of China through our influence in the global industrial chain. ”

He paused and accentuated, "There are some strategic steps we can take in this process.

For example, we can transfer some interests in the field of semiconductors, which we are very concerned about, and even provide some technologies that are about to be phased out as bargaining chips for cooperation.

The purpose of this is to make China dependent on us in these fields and drug dependence on us, and we can exert influence at key nodes of the industrial chain at critical moments, so as to maintain our strategic interests and leading position in science and technology. ”

Tritt's suggestion was echoed by Chief Bush, who nodded, "Mr. Tritt, this is a long-term strategy, and we need to find control in cooperation and balance in concessions. This will safeguard our interests and avoid direct conflict. ”

Mueller also added his own opinion, "Mr. Chief, in addition, we should also strengthen the formulation and enforcement of international rules, so that China can enjoy the benefits brought by the global industrial chain, while also abide by the rules and values we advocate."

In this way, we can more effectively steer China's behavior into line with the expectations of the international community. ”

Faced with the proposal of the two intelligence chiefs, Chief Bushi fell into deep thought.

"Gentlemen, if we let China join the global industrial chain, will they be ...... For example, in the semiconductor industry, will China make a breakthrough in semiconductor technology and eventually surpass us?

In other words, there will be other chemical reactions, after all, according to the report, Sakura's semiconductors will also benefit from this, and both parties will be uncontrollable factors at that time. ”

Pointing to the analysis report just now, Mueller explained to Chief Bush, "Mr. Chief, the death of Mr. Lin Benjian has made the cooperation project between ASML and Yiji Semiconductor Company inevitably delayed.

According to our latest intelligence, Nikon's dry lithography technology is also set to make a breakthrough. Technical experts believe that in the future, the re-emergence of our little brother's semiconductor industry is inevitable. ”

Tritt nodded, "Sir, we can intensify the competition between the two countries at the right time and in the right way, so that they can check and balance each other in the struggle for leadership in the semiconductor industry." In this way, we can reap the benefits of the fisherman.

After all, a hunting dog must have the consciousness of a hunting dog. If it doesn't want to chase its prey, then the hound has no value in existing. ”

Chief Bush smiled, "Gentlemen, I have to say, this is really a wonderful strategy. ”

After the three of them laughed, Bruce slowly paced around the office with his hands behind his back, carefully weighing the pros and cons.

On the other hand, Müller further elaborated on his strategy, "We can ensure that Huaguo relies on us for semiconductor technology by controlling the output of core technologies."

At the same time, we can encourage Huaguo's development in the low-end semiconductor market, which can not only meet their economic growth needs, but also prevent them from becoming our competitors in the high-end market. ”

Tritt agreed, adding: "In addition, we can ensure that China is behaving in our interests in international markets through bilateral and multilateral trade agreements." We can include clauses in these agreements, such as requiring China to make commitments on technology transfer and intellectual property protection. ”

Chief Bush listened to the explanations of the two intelligence chiefs and gradually understood their strategy.

After a moment, he stopped, and he sat back in his chair, the expression on his face becoming relaxed and confident.

"I see," Chief Bush concluded, "we need to find a balance between cooperation and competition, both to rebalance the Asia-Pacific region and to make sure they don't become a threat to us."

Jesse, you go inform ......"

As soon as Chief Bruch's words fell, the office door closed softly, and Jesse's figure trotted out of the door.

He turned back to Muller and Tritt, and the confidence on his face was gradually replaced by an eagerness.

"Gentlemen," Bush cleared his throat, with an unusual eagerness in his voice, "I need about half a ...... before dealing with these international events An hour to clear your mind. ”

The newly appointed affairs officer, after all, is a rookie, and it will take a little longer.

Tritt and Mueller exchanged glances, and both read a hint of understanding in each other's eyes.

Mueller nodded solemnly, "Yes, Mr. Chief, rest assured, we at Faybra will create an absolutely quiet and undisturbed environment for you." ”

The point is, avoid a tigress.

Territ coughed lightly, "I'll let Miss Jesse know later, maybe you have any details to discuss with her." ”
