Chapter 1,153 Prospects for Joining the Alliance
Jiang Chen held the last sugar cube in his hand.
This last bargaining chip was “sold” by Trump to Jiang Chen for US$100 billion.
That is, the new Federal Reserve will use foreign exchange reserves to increase its holdings of US$100 billion in treasury bonds, and this money will be used to improve the employment situation in the United States, which can also be regarded as helping Trump fulfill his campaign promise of "increasing employment rates."
The new Fed's foreign exchange reserves are quite ample and there is no problem in spending US$100 billion.
"It seems that I won twenty sugar cubes first," Jiang Chen smiled, picked up ten sugar cubes from his chip plate, and pushed them in front of Trump, "I'm glad we reached an agreement. I bet this moment will go down in history.”
The tripartite agreement on the withdrawal of US troops stationed in Japan was lifted, NATO withdrew from Colombia within half a year, Star Ring Trade also withdrew from Colombia, and UN peacekeeping forces entered the Colombian border to control the situation and maintain the status quo of division...
In terms of the greater interest of "the United States joining the Earth Defense Alliance", the interests of the Star Ring trade in Colombia and Japan are no longer important. In Jiang Chen's blueprint for the future, the Earth Defense Alliance will eventually surpass all traditional countries and become a united and unified federation.
Now, the biggest obstacle to the Earth Defense Alliance's integration of global power has been broken down, and this blueprint is one step closer to becoming a reality.
Let’s talk about a more realistic issue. The colonial ships of the harmonious civilization are getting closer and closer to the solar system, and there is not much time left for mankind. Only when all the civilizations on earth fight as a whole against the colonial ships coming from 20.5 light-years away can there be any possibility of victory.
"This sugar cube is really expensive."
Weighing the sugar cube in his hand, Trangpu smacked his tongue.
When he thought that each of these sugar cubes cost no less than 100 billion US dollars, he felt that these things were heavy in his hands.
"You can take it back as a souvenir." Jiang Chen said with a smile, "Of course, if you are hungry, you can just eat it."
"Eat? Haha, what will the media report when I go out? Oh, look, that idiot president casually ate $100 billion of taxpayers' money!" Trump joked a few words to himself, and took a photo He asked the assistant who was taking meeting notes next to him, then grabbed the notebook from the confused man's hand and tore a page out without ceremony.
"Lend it to me."
After wrapping the ten sugar cubes and stuffing them into his inner pocket, Trump smiled and patted them with his hands.
The assistant nodded confusedly.
"You can use..."
"I think this negotiation method can be promoted all over the world." Trump pushed away his chair and stood up. He looked at Jiang Chen and said with a smile, "We solved everything in less than an hour. question."
Standing up as well, Jiang Chen just smiled but remained silent.
He didn't think this was a brilliant way of negotiating, it was just the way that suited the two of them best.
In fact, as long as both parties are willing to sit down and talk, the two parties can eventually reach a consensus, and these twenty sugar cubes just speed up the pace of negotiations.
When Hillary was the president of the United States, whether she was the president or the secretary of state, similar negotiations with the Star Ring trade had been conducted countless times, but the results were often unsatisfactory. This is not because Hillary and Kerry are not good enough, but that from the beginning, they represented the interests of Wall Street and had no intention of having a good discussion.
But Te Langpu was different, so different that Jiang Chen was even surprised.
Is this guy really the man who brought Morgan and Rockefeller to the presidency?
The two walked out of the conference room talking and laughing, got on the elevator, and finally appeared downstairs in the Future Man Building, in front of media reporters from all over the world.
Almost as soon as he appeared, all the reporters rushed forward and rushed to ask questions.
"Mr. Trump, what did you talk about in the conference room?"
"Will the United States join the Earth Defense Alliance? Or will the Earth Defense Alliance be integrated into the United Nations framework?"
"..."
have to say,
These reporters are full of bad ideas.
From the beginning, they did not expect this second-rate president to solve any problems. The conflicts between the new country and the United States have been going on for a long time, so many that even the Pacific Ocean cannot fit in them. Many people simply put the microphone in his mouth because they simply wanted to see him make a fool of himself.
However, Trump's reaction was beyond the expectations of all reporters present.
There was no expression of embarrassment or frustration at all on his face, instead he wore a smile like a winner.
"I once said that I would have a good talk with him on behalf of the Americans." Pulling the microphone closer, Trump said with a smile on his face, "Just now, I fulfilled my promise! I dare to use my The Trump Group bets he’s a nice guy!”
Many reporters looked at Trump blankly like they were looking at monsters.
Is this the sun coming out in the west?
On the other side, facing the microphone that was interviewing him, Jiang Chen just smiled lightly and spoke in a rather low-key manner.
"Congratulations to the American people, you have elected an impressive president."
It seems that the sun does come out from the west.
Judging from the friendly attitude of the two...
It seems that the negotiation has been completed?
…
"Shock! The United States and Halo Trade have reached a consensus, or will they join the Earth Defense Alliance within this year? 》
"Sugar Cube Diplomacy breaks the deadlock, and New-US relations may usher in a honeymoon period!" 》
"The Colombian crisis is expected to be resolved within the year, exclusive interview detailing the inside story of sugar cube diplomacy." 》
A pair of eye-catching headlines occupied the headlines of major newspapers. Just after the meeting between Trump and Jiang Chen, newspapers, TV, and online media in the United States and even around the world were boiling like water. stand up.
On the Internet, regarding the results of this meeting, netizens in North America also expressed that the contrast was too great and they could not accept it. Surprise, surprise, joy or worry, all their emotions were vented on the keyboard.
"It seems we have all misunderstood him, and he is not as stupid as he looks!"
"Although I still can't forgive him for what he said...but he did the right thing. In the face of an existential crisis, we should indeed unite, not for the so-called internal friction of hegemony."
"You overestimate him. No one knows what stupid agreements he signed before he returns to China."
"I'm curious, what does Congress think?"
"..."
Just as public opinion was fermenting on the Internet, in the presidential suite on the top floor of Ocean Heart.
"I'm going to the UK at the end of the month." Putting his suit on, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson put on his tie and said slowly, "Thirty-four hours later, there will be a meeting waiting for me in Washington. Go and host it. Is it okay to leave this place to you?"
"No problem," he raised his hand that was hanging on the back of the sofa. Trump, who was half lying on the sofa, was scrolling through Twitter with a grin on his face.
It took him one hour to reach consensus on more than 20 sensitive issues with Starlink Trading. In terms of action capabilities, he had completely defeated the previous President Hillary. Whether it was his own evaluation of himself or the surprise and shock expressed by netizens all over the world under his Twitter, he couldn't help but smile proudly.
Giving Trump a meaningful look, Rex Tillerson turned and walked out the door.
