Chapter 198 Visiting China

At 8 a.m. US time, Obama stayed up all night. He had not told other politicians and congressmen that the reconnaissance plane was shot down last night. Obama was also worried that if the bombshell was thrown out, these people would soon lose their minds. If it exceeded his control, it would be a little bad.

After everyone came to the conference room, Obama took the lead in asking everyone good morning, which made everyone feel something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. Obama's expression was very decadent, and he seemed to have many grievances in his heart.

"His Excellency President." The Secretary of Defense asked tentatively, saying, "Is something wrong?"

Obama smiled bitterly, and did not answer his question, but asked back: "Everyone, everyone knows the situation in the United States now. I have a question to ask everyone. What should we do if one day our local area is attacked and we are unable to resist?"

"How is that possible?" a member of parliament blurted out: "No country in this world can stand shoulder to shoulder with us. In terms of military strength, we are the most powerful country in the world. For more than a hundred years, we have never considered the issue of attacks on the local area. Is this possible?"

"Don't deceive yourself anymore." Obama interrupted him in a bad tone and said, "If you still think we are a military power, then please find a way to organize a naval force for us. My requirements are not high, just be able to equip an aircraft carrier fleet."

"This..." the congressman said angrily: "There are so many technicians and pilots now... I have no choice."

Obama glanced at him coldly and then said, "Everyone, we have to face up to this problem now. It is not impossible for the United States to be attacked. Let me tell you a very unfortunate news that our Goddess of Dawn reconnaissance aircraft was shot down by air defense missiles near Shanghai, China yesterday."

"What..." Everyone was stunned, and the Secretary of State blurted out: "Is it the reconnaissance plane that claims to never be shot down - Goddess of Dawn?"

Obama nodded and said with some shame: "Yes, we have always thought that except for the Russian S-500, there is no air defense missile that can shoot down the Goddess of Dawn. However, we made a serious mistake, that is, we despise the Chinese military power too much. It seems that the Chinese prevention and control technology has been very advanced, and even in the end of the world, it has not been weakened at all."

"So..." The Secretary of State hesitated for a moment and said, "We have weapons and supplies at our base in Guam, should have been looted by the Chinese?"

"It's very likely." Obama did not hide it and said, "North Korea, South Korea and other aerial photos have been analyzed. They do not have our weapons and supplies, and the Chinese are so mysterious that they can even shoot down directly without even warnings to our reconnaissance planes. I'm afraid there must be a ghost in their hearts, so we have enough reason to believe that all our weapons in Guam have fallen into the hands of the Chinese."

"What should we do?" the Minister of Defense sighed and said, "If we annoy the Chinese, they can send our fighter planes over us and bomb us within 24 hours."

A MP said with a sad face: "It's over now. The Chinese have been resentful to us for a long time, and now they are so much stronger than ours. They will definitely retaliate. They know that we are in Washington now and we can't defend them. Your Excellency the President, let's apply to the British for a ***!"

"What?" Obama frowned and cursed: "You asked me to go to the UK to establish a government of ***? What should we do with our people? What should we do with our country and resources?"

"Then let's leave Washington for safety." The justice of Washington, D.C. said: "Let's leave Washington, find a safer city and move all our people over."

"Impossible." The Secretary of Defense said coldly: "We are now very scarce. We can finally stabilize Washington. If we evacuate Washington at this time and go to a new city, it will cost a lot of supplies and it will be very dangerous."

"Talk to the Chinese." Seeing that everyone was full of sad faces, the Secretary of State said, "I think the Chinese should not take the initiative to attack us. If you have studied Chinese history, it is not difficult to see that from ancient times to the present, the Chinese have rarely taken the initiative to provoke wars, and most of them have attacked and provoked them. The Chinese are better at civil wars and internal struggles. In addition, they are to resist foreign invasions and rarely invade others. This nation should still be very peaceful. Besides, it is a special period, and the Chinese must have focused on development."

Obama said lightly: "Since the Chinese have shot down our reconnaissance planes, I don't think there is anything to hide. I will contact the Chinese government and I still have to talk to them in person. It would be best if I could go there."

"Otherwise, I'll go." The Secretary of State said: "I have been to this country with my husband in 1998, and I'm somewhat familiar with it. In addition, I'm a woman, so I'll be relatively gentle and many things can be better negotiated with them. After all, the United States is at a low point now, so it should show weakness to the Chinese to a certain extent."

The Secretary of Defense said: "It is not a question of which of you is more suitable to go, but a question of whether the Chinese will let you go. If the Chinese don't take the United States seriously at all, then they will disdain to talk to us about any issues."

"I'll contact the Chinese government to see if they agree to my visit to China." The Secretary of State stood up and immediately asked his secretary to draft the manuscript for him without saying a word. Obama did not stop him. After all, he knew that the Chinese people had a good impression of him. If Secretary of State Hillary Clinton could open up the situation, it would be a good idea.

...

Hillary's request for visit was passed to Patton. Chairman Han no longer cared about this kind of thing. Moreover, his attitude during this period was no longer a person in charge, but gradually retreated behind the scenes to give advice to Patton. In Chairman Han's idea, sooner or later, he would have to let Patton stand up and take charge of the overall situation. Since he was the person he chose, then the *** should be sooner rather than later.

Chairman Han did not have much objection to the attitude towards the United States. All of this was made by Patton himself. In Xie Tian's opinion, he had absolutely no interest in provoking wars with the Americans. However, Americans have always been arrogant and often just that you don't want to argue with him, but he takes the initiative to cause trouble for you. Just like the Goddess of Dawn who was shot down by the army with missiles, it is enough to see the arrogance of the Americans. He doesn't know the current background of China, so he dares to drive the plane to Chinese airspace, and is so arrogant that he has no choice.

At present, the people in the Interim Military Commission were already a little dissatisfied with Obama, and now China and the United States are in turn changing. China's strength surpasses the United States. In this case, who would take Obama seriously? Of course, no one would want him to come to visit him. The United States has simply changed its routine and asked Hillary to send a diplomatic official letter to request a visit to China. However, even Hillary cannot let her enter China, so Xie Tian ordered the rejection almost without considering it, and instructed diplomatic personnel that all Americans' visit requests can be directly rejected without reporting.

Hillary soon received a letter of rejection from China. Hillary knew that she had to stand on China's land to make a turnaround, so she did not ask Obama for advice and directly replied to a letter, which simply mentioned the following sentence: The United States already knows about Guam, and the United States' contact with China is not to verify or pursue Guam. The reason why she requested a visit to China was that she hoped to have face-to-face negotiations with Chinese leaders for the specific details of peaceful development between the two sides.

Xie Tian also knew in his heart that the Americans must have known about Guam, otherwise it would be impossible to send planes to investigate from afar. Since Hillary opened this layer of window paper so generously, there was no need to continue to conceal it. He replied: "If Hillary is willing to visit China, the Chinese side is willing to make specific negotiations on this. However, since it is a special period, Hillary must obey the arrangements of China's visit. After the Chinese side determines the visit time, she will send a plane to Washington and take Hillary to China."

Hillary did not expect that the Chinese were so cautious that they were not even allowed to enter Chinese airspace by the US government. She wanted to visit China and could not take her own special plane, so she could only wait for Chinese planes in Washington to pick her up.

Xie Tian also made a decision quickly. Since Hillary was coming to talk to the Chinese, he would not delay and let her come as soon as possible, so he sent a team to take Air China's Boeing 747 passenger plane to Washington Airport in the United States.

When Chinese planes landed at Washington Airport, the American politicians who headed to the airport were in a very complicated mood. Everyone knows that China is different from the past. After the outbreak of the zombie virus, they preserved more strength and started to rebuild faster, and obtained a large number of American weapons and supplies. Their current strength is absolutely the world's number one, which makes Americans not only very angry, but also sour.

The person in charge of the team heading to the United States was Dong Jian, who was a clerk in the Office of the Interim Military Commission. He had no real official position and only had a secretary. In the information about the Chinese government in the United States, there was no trace of this person. It is conceivable that the dissatisfaction in the hearts of Americans. It is known that China does not value them, but it is very rare for Chinese people to talk to themselves now, so Americans dare not cause trouble.

Dong Jian is very good at English. He studied in the UK for six years, so he could communicate with Americans very easily without having to bring an interpreter. The Americans originally invited him to rest in the hotel and wait for the appropriate departure time before heading to China, but Dong Jian refused. He was not even ready to leave the plane for more than a thousand meters. He said to everyone very firmly: "Our plane took off on time in three hours, so your country does not need to hold a banquet for us. Please prepare as soon as possible and follow us to Shanghai after three hours."

The Americans thought that they took off in three hours and arrived in Shanghai should be around 1:30 in the evening at local time. How could they visit other countries at night? Hillary Clinton was very dissatisfied and said to Dong Jian: "I can't believe that your country would actually let me land at your airport at night. This is not in line with diplomatic etiquette at all. It has never been in the history of diplomacy. I personally think this is an insult."

"Sorry, Mrs. Hillary." Dong Jian said in a humble manner: "This is the arrangement of our temporary military commission. I am just an official who executes the orders, so everything will be carried out according to the orders of the temporary military commission. Three hours later, our plane will take off and return. Please consider whether to board the plane. In addition, if you decide to board the plane, you can only carry two entourages at most."

"Two?" Hillary was so angry that she couldn't speak. In her opinion, the Chinese were really disrespectful to her as the Secretary of State. When she accompanied her husband to visit China, the situation had simply put herself in the sky. Wherever she went in China, the Chinese must have been treated at the highest level. Moreover, the Chinese have always had good face. In order to make their visits with their husbands more perfect, the Chinese have almost reached the point of losing money and losing money. Many details were perfect. But now, the Chinese are so rude that they wanted to land secretly at night, and their followers could only take two people. It didn't look like they were visiting, but they were going to take political refuge.

Dong Jian glanced at Hillary and said lightly: "Madam, please tell me if you think about it. I will wait for your reply in the cabin." After that, Dong Jian strode up the spiral ladder and returned to the inside of the plane, leaving behind a group of American politicians under the plane and looking at me, I will look at you.

The MP said, "Fortunately, Your Excellency the President did not come, otherwise, he would have been humiliated by such an unknown young man. The Chinese are too much."

"There's no way." Another accompanying official sighed: "Who makes the Chinese have the strength now? In the current world context, whoever has the strength has the absolute status. You say that if there is any country like China, who can interfere now? It's just that because of Pakistan's request for help, he sent planes to bomb India without saying a word. Compared with the previous Chinese government, he is much more tough."

"Yes." Hillary sighed, but said with a very firm expression: "I must go to China to see how powerful the Chinese are now, and see how far they have developed. Even if there is endless humiliation waiting for me, I must go!"

After saying that, Hillary Clinton said to his assistant, "Edward, go with me."

"Okay lady." Edward nodded and asked again: "Who else are you going to let go with you?"

"No need." Hillary said lightly: "One of you is enough. You know Chinese and can be my translator. Aren't Chinese people only asking me to bring two followers at most? Then I will only bring one."

"But I'm afraid there will be a lot of inconvenience at that time." Edward said, "It's better to bring a female assistant."

"No." Hillary waved her hand and said, "It's not that I can't take care of my daily life. After going to China, the Chinese government doesn't even care about me? Don't worry, let's get on the plane now."

"Now?" Edward said, "I'm not ready yet, and I don't have a lot of files and my laptop with me."

"No need to bring it." Hillary said lightly, then took a big step forward, went straight to the 747 ladder, and went up a few steps. Hillary turned his head to the politicians below and said, "You go back and tell the President that I will do my best to fight for the interests of the United States."

Everyone nodded and said goodbye to Hillary, but no one was optimistic about Hillary's trip to China. After all, the U.S. national leaders have never had such a frustrated way of visiting, and this time they may have set a precedent. And after arriving in China, there are still many unpredictable things waiting for Hillary.

Hillary got on the plane, and assistant Edward followed immediately. As soon as he got on the plane, the two flight attendants walked up to them and said in Chinese: "Please come with me, your room is ready."

Edward interpreted Hillary, who nodded and said to the two flight attendants: "Please lead the way."

Both flight attendants had high English qualities. They immediately took Hillary and Edward to a room in the cabin. This room was prepared for Hillary, and there was another room next door for her entourage. However, these two rooms have one feature, that is, there is no window.

Hillary also discovered this, without windows, which looked a bit weird. After the two flight attendants took them to the door of the room, they told them that they could ring the bell and call them. Then the two left, and there was no one else here. Edward saw that the cabin had been modified. This cabin was the same as in the room, and there were no windows. In other words, they could not see anything outside at all.

"The Chinese have prepared two air cells for us." Edward sighed and said, "Madam, I can't imagine why you would accept such an interview. It's not an interview at all, but an insult."
