Chapter 564 An Unexpectedly Smooth Negotiation

"The road to change is always bumpy. Can't you bear this little difficulty?" The sudden voice made me stunned for a moment. When I turned around and saw the people walking over, I quickly stood up and saluted.

"Chief. You haven't gone back?" I actually saw the No. 1 chief at the White House. I thought they had gone back early.

Chief No. 1 shook his head and said: "There are still some things that have not been discussed yet, so you are willing to go back before us. Okay, I have something else to do, so you can go and do your work first."

"yes."

After watching Chief No. 1 leave, I turned and walked towards the main entrance of the White House, where several US government staff were already waiting. Seeing us coming, the staff members quickly ran over to stop me and said, "Hello General Shenlin, the meeting place between the President and you has changed. Please come with me."

I nodded and led Ling, Xiaochun, and Yeyue inside, while Everett was waiting by the car. He is a bit big, so it is not convenient for him to enter the house.

The White House is actually not just a white building. It is a complex of buildings. There are actually other buildings behind it. However, these buildings generally do not appear on TV, so many people think that the White House is just a house standing on a large lawn. In fact, it is not. not like this.

We were taken to the location of a sub-building on the side and rear, and then after entering from the front, we went straight down into the underground bunker. The entire underground of the White House is a huge military command headquarters, and the place we are entering now is considered the core area.

There is a security check channel after entering through the gate, but when we passed by, the security inspector looked like he had eaten a fly. It's not surprising when you think about it. Not only do we have armor, but we also have mechanical skeletons in our bodies. As far as metal detectors are concerned, we are huge contraband. certainly. The people here were obviously greeted, so even though the computer monitor in front of him was almost covered with red warning signs, the guy could only pretend not to see it.

After entering the gate, we walked forward. The staff passing by couldn't help but look back when they saw us. After all, the shape of our equipment was too strange. Those who knew it was powered armor, but those who didn’t knew it thought it was a COS game.

Following these three guides, we finally arrived at a conference room after twists and turns. But what was a little surprising was that after we entered, it was not just the president waiting inside, but a room full of people. Looking at the large gold star, we knew that these people were all high-level military officials. As for those in suits, I guess They are all senior government officials.

The four bodyguards standing at the four corners of the conference room looked nervous when they saw us coming in, but since we didn't behave strangely, they didn't do anything. It was just their tense muscles that told us they were nervous.

The President of the United States should have been in a meeting before. When he saw us coming in he said to the others: "Gentlemen, let us rest a little."

Everyone nodded and stood up, and the President of the United States also stood up and left his seat and walked up the edge of the escalator to our entrance on the second floor. This room is actually a one-and-a-half-story structure. The conference room is located deeper below, and the entrance is half a floor higher than below.

After the President of the United States came up, he shook hands with us and said, "I heard that your journey here was not smooth?"

"Just a few flies. They have been swatted to death."

"I like your optimism." After saying this, the President of the United States invited us to enter a door on the side.

This door is made of bulletproof glass, and there are no switches or handles on it, but there is still a person standing inside the door. After the President of the United States walked over, the man immediately swiped an identification card on a card reader inside the door, and the red light on the door immediately jumped to green. Then the President of the United States pressed the door with one hand, and a green recognition beam swept across his palm. Then the bulletproof glass opened to both sides. The officer inside the door quickly saluted the president. The president raised his hand and quickly entered. We followed him into the passage, and the staff who led the way retreated.

This passage is three to four meters long. There is a corner at the end. After turning around, you can see another bulletproof glass door, but this time you don't need to swipe your card. There is a desk inside the door facing the door, and a beautiful woman in military uniform is sitting behind the desk. When the president appeared, he stood up and saluted, and the door automatically slid open.

On the right side of the room inside this door is a bulletproof glass wall, and behind the wall are three armed robots. This room is obviously specially made. It is wider than the passage outside. In other words, if the heavy equipment outside can pass through the passage, it will definitely not be as big as these three robots. If it is larger than them, it will not be able to get in at all. Therefore, these three robots are invincible here if the technical gap is not large. After all, the passage outside is quite narrow, and the rocket launcher needs to be held vertically when entering, otherwise it cannot be stretched out at all. It is actually quite difficult for individual weapons to threaten a robot of this level.

There is also a small door on the left side of this room. Standing beside the door are two officers, both armed with guns. When we saw the president bringing us over, we each took out a card and swiped it against the door. The door slid open with a screeching sound. Apparently it had been pressurized inside.

We filed in after the gate opened and closed again. There is an office here. It is not very large, but it is quite exquisite and full of technology. It feels like being on a spaceship.

The moment I had this idea in my head, I was suddenly startled. Then the electromagnetic scan started, and a large number of anti-monitoring devices were discovered. However, my output power was obviously much greater than most devices, so I still vaguely scanned down here. Case.

I just thought about it for a moment, but I didn't expect that I actually won the bid. This is actually his grandfather's cabin on the spaceship, but it's not inside the spacecraft.

In fact, the office we are in now is a special cabin. It is a safety cabin, a small spacecraft, and an escape cabin. This small spacecraft actually includes the passage we just passed through and the conference room outside as part of it.

If the White House is attacked, then this part can be separated from the underground base, then enter a descending track, and be sent to a huge secret base underground through an underground passage paved with rails by a special transport chassis, and in this base Among them was an immigrant ship. There is an opening on this immigrant ship, facing the entrance and exit of the descent channel. As long as this small spacecraft falls, it will merge into the body of the large immigration ship. Then the large immigrant ship can wrap up the small spacecraft and launch it immediately. You could say this is an emergency escape hatch. If something goes wrong with the large immigration ship during navigation, this small spacecraft can break away and sail under its own power.

After entering this room, the President of the United States motioned for us to sit down, and then walked to his seat and sat down, and then said: "I know what you have come to see me for, and I have a meeting later, so I will just say it." You can take Meilin's base with you. But I hope you can make a copy of the information and keep it."

I nodded without hesitation: "No problem. This should be considered the property of the US government."

Seeing me being so polite, the President of the United States also smiled and said: "Stop flattering us. Once you enter this door, you don't need to say those hypocritical clichés. In addition, regarding the issue of aliens, I am still talking to those guys It's nonsense, but you can take the person away first. I used my authority to get you a temporary secondment for research. So you can take the person away first. As for the question of when to return it... this is not important, is it? "

I smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's not important."

The President of the United States smiled again and said, "So tell me what else do you need?"

I thought for a while and said, "There are two more things I need to communicate with you."

"Please say."

"First thing. About those flies we met on the road..."

The President of the United States stopped me from continuing. "You dragons may be more intelligent than us humans, but the relationship between whether a behavior is reasonable and wisdom is not absolute. An old chimpanzee is far more intelligent in jungle survival than our best jungle warfare experts, but he obviously It’s impossible to be smarter than our experts.”

"You mean experience is sometimes more important than wisdom?" I said seriously: "I agree with your point of view. Then I want to know what conclusions you draw based on experience and what conclusions I draw based solely on wisdom. Something different.”

"I just said you are smart. It seems that communicating with you is much easier than those old stubborns." The US president joked, and then said: "My experience tells me. You can't make everything change like that." Absolute. There is no white paper in the world. If you think it is white, then you must not look carefully enough. You can always find different colors after zooming in. But this does not hinder its use, right? ? If you blindly pursue the absolute whiteness of this paper without any stains, then the effort you spend on this paper will consume your life's energy. And this is obviously inappropriate."

"Are you telling me that if the water is clear, there will be no fish?"

"Yes, yes, I have heard this saying from China, that's the truth. I have to say that your language is really amazing."

I thought for a moment and nodded: "In fact, I just want to remind you that the specific decision-making power is still in your own hands. After all, I am an outsider and I have no decision-making power on this kind of thing. But after I return to China, if If someone reaches out to me again..."

"I heard that you have a delicacy in China called 'phoenix feet', right? I don't mind trying it occasionally." The US president said with a smile.

I immediately responded with a smile: "I understand, thank you for your understanding. Then, there is one last question left."

"you say."

"At the beginning of last year, some unpleasant things happened between us. Do you still remember this?"

The President of the United States thought for a moment and nodded: "I remember, it was for that ball, right?"

In fact, we were competing for three super quantum chips at that time, but one of them only had fragments left. One of the other two was operational and one was slightly damaged, so strictly speaking, we were mainly fighting for the one that could be used. chip, and apart from being translucent, it really looks like a bowling ball. There are three holes on it, just like a bowling ball.

"It's best if you remember. But do you know where that thing came from?"

The President of the United States nodded again. "They are Japanese..." The American president suddenly stopped mid-sentence, because he finally understood what I was going to ask. "Those aliens, those pilgrims, what did they tell you? Who are they? They can't be the creators, can they?"

The three chips we fought for were not actually relics, but were brought to Earth by a group of aliens in a spaceship. However, a little accident happened in the middle. The alien spacecraft was intercepted by missiles launched by Japan as it passed through the atmosphere, and was shot down.

Many people may be very surprised and ask: "How is it possible? Aliens can even travel through the universe, but will they be shot down by anti-aircraft missiles on the earth? Are you lying to children?"

Yes. We also find this unbelievable and puzzle over it, but the problem is that the spacecraft was really shot down. If you ask me why this happened, I can only say that only God knows. Anyway, in my understanding. The fact that the earth's anti-aircraft missiles shot down the alien spacecraft is as unreliable as the news one day reporting that an American fighter jet was shot down by an indigenous tribe with bows and arrows. But the fact now is that the natives really shot an arrow, and it did hit the plane, and then the plane really fell. Although it is not certain whether the falling spacecraft crashed due to a missile attack, it just fell down anyway. And it was true that he suddenly lost control after being hit. If it was a coincidence, it would be too much. But to say it was really shot down... Anyway, I can't figure out the reason.

Of course, now is not the time to discuss why alien spacecraft mysteriously crashed.

"Mr. President. According to the intelligence provided by the pilgrims we contacted, the downed aircraft was not built by the creator, but came from a civilization they did not understand."

"They knew about that?"

"Yes. They actually had a way to detect some external information in that closed room, but they couldn't get out themselves. They also collected some intelligence during the crash. Based on the information they provided, it can be determined This spaceship was not built by any force they know of because the technology level is much lower. I suspect this is also the reason why that spacecraft was shot down."

"Are you saying that the spacecraft that was shot down came from a civilization that didn't have much technological strength, so it was shot down?"

"There may be such a reason, but it cannot be ruled out that it was a technical fault. Or the driver made an operational error due to a sudden attack. Anyway, it is not important."

"So what's important?"

"The important thing is that we need the wreckage of that spacecraft. There are survivors. Please don't excuse me. I know there were survivors."

The President of the United States pondered for a while and then confirmed: "Your intelligence is correct. There are indeed survivors, but I don't know where they are now."

"What do you mean you don't know where they are now? Do you mean you don't know or the Americans don't know?"

"The Americans don't know." The U.S. President said: "After the spacecraft was shot down, the first ones to attack were actually the Japanese. Do you know this?"

I was stunned for only a second after hearing this. I quickly exchanged information with Ling and the others in the spiritual network, and then I spoke. "You mean the Japanese government didn't hand over the surviving aliens to you but hid them?"

"Yes." The US President nodded: "It is convenient for the Japanese government to insist that there are no survivors, and this kind of thing is very close. We cannot take large-scale actions on this kind of thing. Even if we apply pressure, we have to find other people." Excuse. But you should know that our country's political system determines that many things here cannot be decided by one person, so there will be some problems with efficiency."

"I understand, it seems that I have contacted the wrong person about this matter!"

The President of the United States nodded and said: "If you need it, the greatest support I can provide within my authority is that I can put pressure on Japan in the name of the United States official and express that you represent yourself and both of us. In this case, The Japanese government should take you a little more seriously."

I thought about it for a moment and then refused: "I appreciate your kindness, but you'd better not say anything about this kind of thing."

The President of the United States was stunned for a moment, and then he understood. "I understand. Well, you can handle it yourself. But I think you can try your Chinese Thirty-Six Strategy." I looked at the President of the United States in confusion, waiting for his explanation. The President of the United States did not keep me waiting for long, and immediately said: "Build the plank road openly and build the warehouse secretly."

The President of the United States said this sentence in Chinese. He himself is a China expert. After all, China’s current status in the world is very high. As the President of the United States, if his understanding of China is only superficial, then he is not a good person. A competent president.

When I heard the President of the United States speak of his strategy in Chinese, I immediately understood what he meant. "I now believe what you said before. Experience is sometimes more important than wisdom, especially when the intelligence is not equal." After I finished speaking, I added: "Then, according to your kindness, show it to us. Right. After I complete the handover work here, I will go to Japan to handle this matter immediately."

"I will get things done before dark today at the latest. You can rest assured." The President of the United States knew that there was nothing more to talk about and had already stood up. I shook his hand again and thanked him.

This conversation did not last long, but a lot of things were finalized. I am afraid this is also the fastest negotiation in history. But if you think about it carefully, it actually makes sense. After all, it is not the interests of the US government that are being transferred. Americans won't feel bad if you use other people's things as a favor. (To be continued ~^~)
