Chapter 1186, Washington Plan
As for Wu Shaoting's final decision to cooperate with the United States, it was naturally because he collected shocking news about the "Shanghai Yin Scheme" in German intelligence units. He knew that if the Europeans could not be defeated at once, these self-righteous white people would sooner or later start against China. The ability to destroy their "Shanghai Yin Scheme" this time was entirely because the world war caused the political situation within Germany. But who can guarantee that once the war is over, Germany will have more energy and resources to target China, and will China still be able to withstand it at that time?
It’s not that he wants to take this risk now, but that foreign threats force himself to make this decision. If China wants to become a world-class power, it must not be passively controlled by others forever. On the contrary, it must grasp the initiative it deserves.
After early contacts in early August, the United States finally confirmed that the Chinese authorities were determined to participate in their plan, so the US Foreign Ministry immediately established a special group to be fully responsible for the consultation with China. The major American chaebols who initiated the plan gave a code name for this speculative action, named the "Washington Plan".
In the development of American history, the "Washington Plan" that occurred in 1917 and the "Chicago Plan", "Manhattan Plan" and "Aboro Plan" that appeared decades later were called the four major turning points in American history. Although the latter three are all major breakthroughs in science and technology, the "Washington Plan" completely replaced the United States' participation in the First World War to gain benefits, laying the economic foundation for the United States in the next half century.
Lai Yinshi and Jackson arrived at the Presidential Palace at 9 o'clock in the morning. After some twists and turns, Wu Shaoting met them in the Senior Conference Room of the Secret Service in the Deputy Building of the Presidential Palace. The Senior Conference Room in the Vice Building can be said to be the meeting room with the strictest confidentiality measures in the entire Presidential Palace. There are almost no decorations in the entire conference room, and there are not even too many decorations, and it looks like a bare bristle room.
The purpose of this is to reduce the safety hazards that exist during the decoration process, and to facilitate the discovery of all blind spots during inspection. Not only that, the appearance of the high-end conference room is considered from another aspect, that is, the Secret Service will wait until the technology is sufficient to be issued before directly decorating high-tech safety materials.
After some greetings, Wu Shaoting was very polite to invite Lai Yinshi and Jackson to sit down.
In addition to Wu Shaoting himself, the Chinese side also participated in the consultation, including Gu Weijun, Lu Jianzhang and Yuzi County.
It is not difficult to imagine that these people will become core figures of the "Washington Plan" and also representative figures of Chinese capitalism's participation in world war speculation activities.
"Mr. Ambassador and Counselor, I have to say that this talk has experienced many twists and turns, but no matter what, the diplomatic meeting we are looking forward to has finally come true." Wu Shaoting calmly said his opening remarks.
"His Excellency the Head of State finally led to our talks. I believe that this will leave a very important piece of writing in the diplomatic history of our country and your country." Lai Yinshi said with a smile.
"I hope so too. So, I believe you and I know very well about the content of this talk. Since your government has entrusted the ambassador and the counselor to attend the talks, it can be seen that there is no need for us to beat around the bush." Wu Shaoting went straight to the point after the gossip.
"I agree with you. Whether it is business or diplomacy, I believe there is nothing more comforting than efficiency." Lai Yinshi nodded and said.
Wu Shaoting exchanged glances with Gu Weijun, Lu Jianzhang, Yuzi County and others, which means that from the beginning of the next conversation, China and the United States will launch a major speculation for all mankind, and the political secrets contained in this can be imagined.
After a brief pause, Wu Shaoting said with a calm smile after the disaster: "Mr. Ambassador, during the preliminary negotiations that lasted more than a month, the United States has already expressed a term, which seems to be called the Washington Project, right?"
Lai Yinshi nodded without any concealment and said, "Yes, as a partner, this code name should of course be known to the Head of State. This is the name of the plan for our entire business activities, and it will also become the code name for protecting secrets in the future."
Wu Shaoting continued: "You have also said before that your country is full of confidence in this strategic Sino-US trade cooperation, from the government to private enterprises. I am very curious that the Washington plan is such a huge investment, and it has to bear many risks beyond economic losses, including unimaginable political risks. So, Mr. Ambassador, what do you plan to avoid these risks?"
Lai Yinshi smiled. Of course he knew what Wu Shaoting wanted to ask, it was nothing more than how the United States would operate this speculative plan. He said: "Prime Minister, please rest assured that we have already had a detailed and comprehensive solution. The central idea of the Washington plan is naturally to try our best to continue this European war. Therefore, our diplomats conducted a comprehensive investigation into the current situation in Europe."
Wu Shaoting nodded slightly and asked according to Lai Yinshi's words: "Oh, what kind of investigation is it?"
Without waiting for Lai Yinshi's answer, the business counselor Jackson said immediately: "This is an investigation of war intentions in both the Allies and the Allies."
After hearing this, Wu Shaoting didn't know whether to laugh at it or be indifferent. The war has developed to this day, and the will of European countries is naturally to end the war as soon as possible. In fact, Chinese intelligence units are also collecting intelligence materials from all aspects of Europe, and have a certain understanding of the people of European countries from governments to dawn. The reason why the Allies insisted on fighting was simply to increase the bargaining chips for peace talks and not to make the post-war compensation too heavy. The Allies saw victory in sight and were constantly concentrating their efforts to completely defeat the Allies.
The intentions of these two aspects are the main reason for the difficulty in ending the war! But it won’t take long to find a certain intersection that the Allies and the Allies will find unexpected intersections, and then give each other a step down and finally enter the synagogue of peace talks. In fact, there is no need to have any doubts. This intersection will appear sooner or later, and no matter how late this time will not exceed four months.
Although he had such an idea in his mind, after thinking for a while, he did not point it out directly, but continued to ask: "So, gentlemen, what results did your country get in this large-scale investigation? Or, from the results of the investigation, you think of ways to continue investing in Europe?"
Lai Yinshi said quietly: "Hissergeant, I believe you have a lot of knowledge about the situation in Europe and are very clear about the current situation of European countries. But what I want to say is that the Allies and the Allies are still stalemate. The ultimate reason is that they all know what the consequences will be if they lose. In other words, no one is willing to lose this war, and the two camps still have the last glimmer of hope to persevere."
Although this was a piece of nonsense, Wu Shaoting nodded in agreement and said, "I agree with your point of view."
Lai Yinshi then said: "The Washington plan is mainly to take advantage of the current mentality of the Allies and the Allies. At this moment, they each have some hope, and what we have to do is give them more hope."
A trace of inspiration flashed slightly in Wu Shaoting's mind, and he vaguely found some clues from Lai Yinshi's words.
Obviously, this is a normal-order reasoning idea. Whatever the Allies and Allies need to maintain the war, then what Washington plans to give them.
