Chapter 672 The American Bamboo Bar
The US side's reply came very quickly. They fully agreed with this condition and hoped to take this opportunity to hold a face-to-face talk. Of course, they also hoped that the imperial government could coordinate in a central manner, and it would be best for the three parties to sign an agreement to avoid using this weapon easily, so as not to harm innocent people.
Liu Jinpeng was too lazy to deal with this kind of American who could not fight back after being beaten but could pretend that I had not lost. This news was handed over by Han Shixi. On the one hand, he came to conduct specific consultations on the detailed various links of the agreement, and on the other hand, he brought this informal news and saw how Liu Jinpeng planned to deal with it.
Liu Jinpeng threw this handwritten informal message on the coffee table and said to Han Shixi with a smile: "Hisser Foreign Minister, your pavilion members have taken turns to fight these days. Why have you started using wheel battles to me, a young man?"
Han Shixi still had the same expression that lasted for thousands of years, with a smile on his lips and said, "The Dogzi is a friend of you. I always think that his vision of making friends is a problem. I didn't expect that this time I missed it. You said that wheel wars are not the case. We all have our own affairs to be responsible for, and we can't tie us here for one thing, right?"
Old fox.
Liu Jinpeng muttered to himself that none of these parents could meet each other, especially this old Han. He couldn't say anything sarcastic with Han Zi'ang's relationship, so he had to continue to bite the bullet and nodify him.
Han Shixi picked up the teacup and sipped the tea, sighing: "The gardens and landscapes of Wangshan Garden are unique. If you can taste tea and chat in the waterfront in autumn, it will be a pleasure in your life."
Liu Jinpeng pretended to be stupid now. He hoped that these people would leave quickly after they came and finish their work. He moved to the water pavilion to entertain him? That wouldn't it cause trouble for himself. He smiled and said, "Yes, but the weather has changed recently. I am a person who is at ease and doesn't like to show off any pomp. I'd just rest in the house to avoid causing trouble for the service staff."
Han Shixi understood as soon as he heard this, he was blocking the road and he was at ease. If he made any further requests, he would be dissatisfied with the service staff. Han Shixi smiled slightly, put down the teacup and said, "How is it? What are you going to do with this telegram? I'm still waiting for your reply."
Liu Jinpeng is much more wild now and said with a smile: "Uncle Han is planning to make fun of me. I really didn't expect it, ah haha."
Han Shixi didn't care about such a little provocation. He thought to himself: This kid is still very smart. As soon as I mentioned Zi'ang, he immediately changed his words. Thinking of this, the Foreign Minister said with a smile: "You are sharp-tongued. I don't mean to laugh at you. If you don't tell your thoughts, how can I check for you for the gaps?"
When Liu Jinpeng saw that the old fox was so excited, he had to laugh: "Actually, my meaning is very simple. I said at the beginning that they either agreed or refused, and there was no third way to go. The reconciliation was proposed by them, and I also gave the reply. Now there are some face-to-face meetings that have arisen, and they also have to bring the imperial government as an intermediary. This is to treat me as a fool."
Han Shixi nodded slowly and said slowly: "Well, your statement is correct. But you also have to consider a problem. The pressure this incident has put on them is obviously beyond your imagination, so they urgently need to solve this problem. Even if you use it as a paper for rubbing the butt after signing the agreement, they will feel much more at ease."
Liu Jinpeng shook his head and smiled, "I still think it's hard to wipe the paper of the butt. Uncle Han, you are right, but there is another problem you didn't consider. The agreement can only be signed when the strength of both sides is similar. It's like the end of the Cold War agreement signed by the Empire and the United States. Neither side could eat the other party and had to consider peace. But now, I have an absolute advantage, why should I sign this agreement?"
Han Shixi smiled: "It seems that you are confident. Let's talk about what advantages you have in comparison with the United States now. Maybe I can find loopholes for you."
Liu Jinpeng secretly complained that this old fox is really a rampant, but this is also an opportunity. He smiled and said, "The advantage is actually very obvious. First of all, I am an individual, and the United States is a whole. The confrontation between individuals and the whole has never been equal. In my opinion, as long as they cannot counter this new weapon, they will have no choice."
Han Shixi narrowed her eyes and asked, "Where is Titanium Star Group and Titanium Star Laboratory?"
Liu Jinpeng smiled and said, "This is the second advantage I want to talk about. Titanium Star Group is actually dispensable to me. My purpose has never been to make money. Money is always just a tool, not a purpose. Even if Titanium Star Group no longer belongs to me, it will not lose much to me. Titanium Star Laboratory's role is declining now, and sooner or later it will become a secondary department in my plan."
"And most of my industries are concentrated in the territory of the empire, which is both protection and restriction. I can abandon the overseas parts at any time, but any group that forces me to abandon these industries will be severely hit by me, which is revenge. Based on the current situation, I think the empire cannot become my enemy. If you take a step back, the empire will no longer protect my industries, but it is impossible to actively attack my industries, right?"
Han Shixi had to admit this. Before the Suiren Plan began, perhaps only His Majesty the Emperor would protect him, but at this critical moment, whoever dares to attack him will immediately be attacked by the four major forces. Although the dominance of the Suiren Plan is nominally in the hands of the government, all the specific technologies will be sent by Titanium Star Laboratory to teach and train. This situation will not change much before the first phase of the fusion furnace is completed.
As for directly seizing the laboratory, it is no different from killing a chicken and retrieving eggs. No visionary politician will do that. In addition, the four forces are currently monitoring each other and entangled with each other. Whoever wants to take the lead will be attacked by the other three parties. To reach a consensus between the four parties, it will be better to maintain the same status as possible. Even if the four forces barely reach a cooperation intention, Liu Jinpeng has long been warned and has enough time to respond.
So Han Shixi would never make a decision casually before she figured out the details of the weapon, and everyone else thought the same.
Seeing Han Shixi nodding slowly, Liu Jinpeng continued: "Even if the empire no longer protects my industry, it is impossible if there are foreign forces to occupy the laboratory. The laboratory's protection system is very advanced and no army can occupy it at all. If an foreign army wants to drive to Jiangcheng, I will destroy them halfway."
Han Shixi realized that this guy was really prepared, so he thought for a while and asked, "What about Wangxing Island? It is also easy to be attacked. Although it is surrounded by the navy, it is hanging in the sea, and the support must be very slow."
Liu Jinpeng smiled and shook his head: "Wangxingdao, I'll be honest. If the enemy puts the target there, I'll be very happy."
Han Shixi finally figured it out: "In other words, you are actually like a creeper, dependent on the body of the empire, so the United States cannot attack you at all, unless they plan to go to war with the empire? Small-scale battles are beneficial to you, and large-scale battles cannot be fought, right?"
“It’s basically that.”
"You can't be careless," Han Shixi reminded with an old face. "If Americans cannot sign this agreement, any means will be used to make your personal safety a lot, and your relatives must also be protected."
Liu Jinpeng nodded and said, "Uncle Han is right, so I have sent someone to pick up my parents and ask them to go home as soon as possible. In addition, I will also provide bodyguards for my relatives, and this kind of thing will be a matter of time."
Han Shixi shook his head: "Actually, I would advise you to sign this. I am not a lobbyist for Americans, but you don't need to bet on your luck with the safety of your relatives. Anyway, you will be up to you to follow or not after signing this agreement. No one can limit you. Why not calm their hearts first? This can also numb the enemy."
Liu Jinpeng doubted this: "Are Americans so stupid? They will definitely make various requests, such as visiting laboratories, sharing of weapons principles, observing and launch experiments, etc. They will even add a bunch of restrictions to me to avoid being attacked like this again. Do you know? The US government's office has moved to Camp David, and the US President Xia Tian has just returned from there and is now going to Texas."
Han Shixi smiled treacherously: "You can talk about these things. Whatever you get into depends on their sincerity. Anyway, you won't beat them during the negotiations, and they can also make small moves with peace of mind. When you take the initiative, you might as well put your attitude higher. Whether you can talk or not is another matter. If you can blackmail them at a reasonable price, you will definitely not be polite. When you have an advantage, negotiations are the most advantage. You will suffer losses if you avoid talking."
Liu Jinpeng immediately understood: "Ah, Uncle Han, you are planning to earn some agency fees in the middle. Okay, okay, I can't block your financial path. Since they want to talk, let's talk. But it is definitely impossible to limit me unilaterally. Please declare this for me."
When Americans were awesome, they always made things difficult for others. Now it’s our turn to make things difficult for them, so I want to just reveal that there is no such cheap thing.
Han Shixi also agreed with this view that such a pre-statement must be done. He is just a message anyway. Americans now have almost no bargaining conditions unless they plan to fight a world war.
Of course, I have to make a big fuss in this situation. (To be continued...)
