Chapter 199: The Prospects of Cooperation

It was already late at night when the plane Hillary was landing at Hongqiao Airport. China sent an official who had worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to be responsible for the reception work. Specifically, it was to send Hillary and her entourage to the room prepared by the Peninsula Hotel, and Hillary was not allowed to go out casually. All actions must be followed by China's arrangements.

Hillary landed at night and before she could see the scenery of Shanghai, she was taken into an Audi A8 by diplomats. Then, the car took her directly to the Peninsula Hotel by the river. Although Hillary only saw a small number of pedestrians along the way, through street lights and other buildings in the city, Hillary realized that the Chinese had now restarted the foundation of Shanghai's livelihood, which was better than the White House.

The inner corridor of the Peninsula Hotel has two high-end suites opposite the door. These two suites were arranged to Hillary and her assistant Edward. After the Chinese side sent several waitresses to assist the two in checking in, they waited for their arrangements 24 hours a day. After the arrangement was made, the official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said goodbye and left. From beginning to end, Hillary did not see a Chinese politician with identity and sufficient rights.

Hillary didn't dare to ask too much about this, and because of the jet lag, she had already slept on the plane for a long time, so she didn't feel sleepy at all. After taking a shower in the hotel, she sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looking at the streets and rivers outside. There was no Chinese army here, nor the airport. When landing at Hongqiao Airport yesterday, Hillary had observed it from both sides, but most of the parked passenger and cargo planes at Hongqiao Airport, and there were no military planes. Only a few Chinese transport planes were parked at Hongqiao Airport.

In fact, Xie Tian’s arrangement for the fighter jets is: American advanced fighter jets are parked at Zhangshu Army Airport. Now Zhangshu Army Airport has expanded three runways with extremely strong carrying capacity. China’s original self-produced fighter jets and Russian imported fighter jets are parked at Shanghai Pudong Airport. As for Hongqiao Airport, it is a passenger and cargo aircraft airport. Hillary landed here and it is impossible for him to see any secret.

After waiting for several hours, the service staff did not deliver breakfast until 8 o'clock in the morning, and told Hillary that there would be a car to take them to the Interim Military Commission at 8:30. Hillary immediately felt spirited. The Interim Military Commission is the current top leadership of China and a group of people with real strength. If you can meet and negotiate face to face, you must be able to see the current attitude of the Chinese government towards the United States.

Xie Tian controlled Patton to clean himself early and put on a body-faced Zhongshan suit. His current identity is a leader generally recognized in China. This is beyond doubt. This time, Hillary was the only one who was responsible for meeting him. It can also be seen that the temporary Military Commission's attitude of letting him replace Chairman Han is already very obvious.

Before Hillary came, she had a detailed understanding of the members of the China Provisional Military Commission. She still had a lot of first-hand information about Patton. Qin Zhengxuan had been engaged in the military before and guarded the nj military region with the greatest and most important strategic significance in China. This shows that his personal abilities are not doubted. Most importantly, Qin Zhengxuan's records before the outbreak of the zombie virus and his actions after the outbreak of the zombie virus can be seen that this person's thoughts are hawkish. Compared with previous Chinese leaders, Qin Zhengxuan is far less gentle than them.

For Hillary, the situation she least wants to see is that China's leadership power falls into the hands of hawks. In the past, Chinese leaders were civil servants, and they were determined to develop and had a tolerant attitude on many international issues and disputes. This benefited many countries very much, and the United States was one of them. But if the leader was really replaced by hawks, then the room for Americans to operate would be far less than that before.

Before meeting, Hillary had been thinking about how to use her eloquence to gain an advantage in the conversation and dominate the development direction of the topic, so she used it to test the true situation of China and the true meaning of the Chinese government. So she made countless predictions in her mind and stepped into the living room of the Provisional Military Commission with confidence. Patton was the only one waiting for her here, which made Hillary somewhat unexpected.

"Hello, Commander Qin." Hillary shook hands with Patton and said generously: "I have heard of your name for a long time. Today I finally had the opportunity to see you. This is my honor."

At this time, Edward, the assistant who followed Hillary, hurriedly translated what Hillary said into Chinese, while Xie Tian smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said in Chinese: "You don't have to translate Mrs. Hillary's words to me, just translate my words to her."

Edward nodded slightly. In fact, Xie Tian could easily talk to Hillary in English without a translator. However, this was a diplomatic diplomatic relations between the two countries and an international occasion. Even if his English is good, he had to speak the official language of his country. So Xie Tian left Edward as a phony tube.

After inviting Hillary to take her seat, Xie Tian said, "Mrs. Hillary, from President Obama a few days ago to you, the White House seems to have no interest in visiting China recently. Now that you have finally come to China, I really want to know what issues you have prepared to discuss with us?"

Hillary smiled and said, "I heard that Shanghai's reconstruction work is going very well, so we have always wanted to take a look and learn from China's development experience. In addition, we apologize to the Chinese government for reconnaissance aircraft that mistakenly entered Chinese airspace."

"Oh?" Xie Tian smiled and said, "That reconnaissance plane turned out to be from the United States? I don't know yet. It was blown into a pile of scrap iron, so I just threw it into the Huangpu River."

Hillary looked at Xie Tian awkwardly, but he didn't expect that he was so generous about this matter. He admitted it without any explanation. He did not have any diplomatic procedures or official words at all. It seemed that he didn't take this matter seriously at all.

Xie Tian said calmly: "Since we decided to move from Yanjing to Shanghai, we have combined all the forces we can integrate to improve Shanghai's defense. We have concentrated almost all military tanks south of the Yangtze River to Shanghai to defend against Shanghai's land. In addition, we also concentrate all air defense forces to defend Shanghai. You should also know about the Navy. Last time the Koreans invaded our Shandong Peninsula, our submarines sank four opponents' warships. Now we are the overall defense of the trinity of sea, land and air against Shanghai. Therefore, we will do our best to kill and then find out any action that may pose a threat to Shanghai. Not to mention that reconnaissance aircraft enters Chinese airspace, even if other countries' passenger planes entered our airspace without my permission, we will still fight without mercy!"

"It's true that hawkish..." Hillary looked at Patton, who was extremely calm but very arrogant, and felt a little worried. Such a hawkish figure in power is indeed not a good thing for the United States.

Hillary kept a charming smile and said to Patton: "Protecting your own airspace and territorial security is the top priority for every country. I agree with the Chinese government's view, but I don't quite agree with the Chinese government's approach. The intensity of this attack seems to be a bit too strict. Moreover, it is a special difficult time. China is such a large country with a large population, and there are less than tens of millions of survivors. This shows that the world has been greatly damaged, and many other countries have much lower survival rates than China. Just like South Korea, their invasion of Chinese territory should not be out of malice, but out of helplessness in survival. South Korea is in a very difficult situation now, and it is understandable that they hope for China."

"Haha." Xie Tian smiled indifferently and said, "If the Koreans lack supplies, then they can talk to us, beg us for material assistance, or bring the people to China. We can give them a piece of land and a job of farming, but we are absolutely not allowed to enter our territory privately. Once this happens, in our opinion, it is no different from invasion, and we will definitely give the most severe counterattack!"

"This..." Hillary was a little scared when she heard it. Qin Zheng chose this soldier-born person, indeed, not the politician, so he did not have the kind of tactful and obscure kind of ordinary politicians. He said everything very straightforwardly. The more straightforward he was, the more he couldn't accept it, and even felt frightened. After all, China is much stronger now than the United States. If there is really friction with China because of something, then Hillary has no doubt that the hawkish leader in front of him will throw the bomb directly on the head of Washington, DC.

Hillary wanted to openly talk about Guam issue with Patton, but now she was a little relieved. It seems that Guam’s weapons and supplies are likely to be taken away by the Chinese, but how can she openly talk about this issue with the hawkish leader in front of her? If she didn’t say it, both sides pretended to be confused with it. Perhaps this matter would have developed to this point at most. If the United States does not cause trouble in the future, the Chinese would definitely not be able to get along with the United States. But if she opened the skylight and spoke out, told the matter about Guam, and asked the Chinese government to speak, what kind of result would she get?

Relying on Patton to apologize and promise to return the weapons and supplies from the United States? Hillary believes that this is completely a daydream and it is impossible. She even firmly believes that Patton cannot give the United States any compensation for this, and will not even give a pound of rice. It is more likely to say very alone: ​​"We took those weapons and supplies. What do you think? Why? If you don't agree? If you don't agree, try a war."

Hillary suddenly felt that his request for a visit to China was a joke. He wanted to make any change in the facts that Guam had already been doomed through mediation. This was simply a fool. If he continued to discuss this topic with Patton, he would probably be sent back to the United States directly. So now he could only change his routine. On the one hand, he showed goodwill to China, and on the other hand, he saw how China has developed to the point where it has developed. If possible, the supplies in Guam would be considered victims who are close to China.

Hillary immediately changed the topic and said, "Commander Qin, China is currently able to grow large quantities of crops south of the Yangtze River, right? After all, your country just used a large amount of people from Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to China some time ago."

Xie Tian nodded and said, "We now have a population of more than 8 million, plus nearly 1 million people in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, at least 6 million people are responsible for farming. The farming efficiency is very high at present, so next year I think our grain output can reach about 8 million to 10 million tons."

"Eight million to ten million tons..." Hillary was stunned for a while and said, "The population you can support has reached at least 40 million, which exceeds the total population in the world now."

Xie Tian smiled slightly and said, "It's the case at the moment, but I can't do it. After all, we can develop too few industries now. The industry requires only a few hundred thousand laborers, so most of the population can only be used for agricultural cultivation. After next year's grain output, we can use it to trade with the world. The excess grain can buy the materials, equipment, weapons and ammunition we need from other countries."

Hillary nodded slightly, but was already shocked. The few numbers Xie Tian said casually had made her realize how big the gap between the United States and China is. The United States now invests in planting very little and is very scattered. Grain planting on some green areas in the city of Washington, the ideal harvest can only meet one-fifth of the current total demand, and the remaining 80% gap is not known how to make up. If this continues, next year, when most of the food supplies become moldy and hairy expired foods, they have no new food to replace, and they may face a sharp decline in the population.

Hillary asked, "Commander Qin, I don't know if the United States can cooperate with China in agriculture?"

"Cooperate?" Xie Tian frowned and asked, "How to cooperate?"

Hillary blurted out: "We have a scientific and technological foundation in food cultivation that is incomparable to any country in the world, and it has the highest degree of mechanization. If we can cooperate, we can provide China with excellent fertilizers, seeds, farming equipment and even agricultural scientific research equipment and our technical achievements. As for how to cooperate, we can try to invest in technology and equipment. In the agricultural projects we cooperate with, we provide all equipment and scientific and technological support. After harvesting, we take a small part of it as a reward."

Xie Tian also knew that Americans had an extremely advanced scientific and technological foundation in agriculture. Compared with backward human farming like China, they were more efficient and the labor utilization effect was the best. Often, one person and one family could easily use machinery to plant dozens or hundreds of acres of arable land. This was impossible to achieve in China because there are too many farmers in China, and most of them were the lower-level farmers. Their use was also a relatively primitive farming method.

Hillary Clinton said, as if he realized an excellent channel for cooperation with China, that is, to provide China with things, technology, equipment, and information that China does not have. In any case, as long as it can reach a cooperative relationship with the Chinese, first of all, there is no need to worry that China will crack down on the United States. Secondly, the United States can also gain tangible benefits. After all, the United States has no ability to develop agriculture and industry at all.

Hillary said sincerely: "Commander Qin, I'm very curious about what industries China has already developed. Regarding the industries that China has developed, we can provide equipment and technical support. However, the current faults of our technicians in China are very serious, and it may be difficult to achieve comprehensive technical support, but there is definitely no problem with hardware support."

Xie Tian smiled faintly and said, "The industry we are currently carrying out is nothing to keep secret. First of all, thermal power generation. Now the power supply in Shanghai relies on thermal power generation. As for coal for thermal power generation, we have restarted the coal mining industry. In addition, there is also the food processing industry, which is nothing more than converting the stock of wheat into flour or various foods, as well as manufacturing and oil refining."

Hillary hurriedly said: "The United States can cooperate with China in these industries, especially power engineering, our wind power generation and solar power generation have a high foundation. There are also some talents in China that can help China solve energy problems. In addition, we can cooperate with advanced equipment, production lines and core technologies of various industries."

Xie Tian asked, "You are still very perfect in biological research now, right? You have not developed test strips for zombie viruses before, and can detect whether the organisms carry zombie viruses."

"Yes." Hillary nodded and said, "In biological research, we have a strong preservation ability. Now the Fernandez Virus and Biological Research Center in Washington has started research again. The purpose is to hope to crack the secrets in the zombie virus as soon as possible. If China is interested, we can also cooperate with this."

Xie Tian nodded and said, "Why did you suddenly want to cooperate with China?"
