Travel through the 1945 super power construction secret base

Wang Ze also reached a consensus with his elder brother Wang Jixin that the US troops should not be stationed in the Xincheng Canal. After all, it was too close to Xincheng. If the US went crazy and suddenly launched a few artillery fire, there would be no way to defend or warn.

But the island should discuss this with the United States again. Singapore is now the main port base for the United States' support for the Vietnam War.

The United States also has a profound influence on Singapore.

Although Phu Quoc Island nominally belongs to Vietnam, it is now directly under the control of the United States.

For the United States, these two places are places that can be given up. Wang Ze feels that there is still hope as long as benefits are given.

If all else fails, just buy it with gold. There isn’t much else in the new city, but there is a lot of gold.

At the second meeting, Burns continued to be entangled in the issue of stationing troops and his attitude was very tough.

There is no problem with requesting to exchange islands, but the stationing of troops is something the United States must be guaranteed.

Something strange happened to Wang Ze. It seemed that Burns' attitude had changed a lot from last time, and he didn't seem to want to reach an agreement.

With a tentative attitude, Wang Ze proposed to lease the port to the United States for use, but military ships were not allowed to dock.

Burns rejected this proposal without hesitation, and then suggested that since no agreement could be reached, the talks should be stopped today and resumed later.

After Burns left, Wang Jixin put down the pen in his hand and said, "This guy is not right today. He is just following the procedures and has no intention of promoting it."

"But he was the one who proposed this proposal. How come it changed in such a short time? Has the domestic situation in the United States changed?"

Wang Ze asked curiously.

"There is no news in this regard, so there should be no changes." Wang Jixin frowned and thought about Burns' abnormal behavior.

Both of them looked confused and didn't understand what was going on.

"Let's talk about it again tomorrow. If he is still in this state, agree to him and see how he reacts." Wang Ze looked at Wang Jixin and said.

"What if he agrees?" Wang Jixin asked in surprise.

"Agree? If you agree, let the people protest. We need democracy. We certainly cannot be a dictator if the people oppose us." Wang Ze said with a smile.

Wang Jixin was speechless for a moment when he saw his brother's rogue look.

Is it still possible to play like this? Is this how democracy is used?

However, after Wang Jixin thought about it carefully, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it and it made sense, so he agreed with Wang Ze's opinion. He also wanted to know what had gone wrong that caused Burns to change so much.

At the third meeting, Burns, just like before, kept insisting on the garrison on the New Town Canal. He was still talking, but in Wang Ze's opinion, he had no sincerity at all.

Wang Ze and Wang Jixin looked at each other and confirmed their guess that there was something wrong with this person.

There is no room for garrison issues, and such tough communication is not something a mature diplomat can do.

In Wang Ze's opinion, this person was negotiating with the idea of failure in mind, and was even afraid that Xincheng would agree.

"It seems that we still cannot reach a consensus. Why don't we stop here today?" Burns said to the New Town representative opposite.

Wang Ze glanced at Wang Jixin and nodded.

Then Wang Jixin said: "We agree with your idea of stationing troops. Singapore and Phu Quoc Island will be exchanged."

Burns looked up at Wang Jixin in disbelief, and his lips trembled for a moment.

Wang Ze looked at the other party's hands that were unconsciously clenched into fists, and he was more certain of what he was thinking: the other party didn't want to reach an agreement at all.

Seeing that the other party was reluctant to speak, Wang Ze said, "Let's stop here today and talk again tomorrow."

After seeing off the American representatives, the two went to Wang Jixin's office to communicate.

Judging from the reactions of the American representatives, we can know that Burns’ current ideas are not what the US government wants.

After hearing Xincheng's agreement, all the other American personnel stationed in Xincheng, except Burns, were excited. Only Burns even showed an expression of uncontrollable surprise.

The two talked about Burns, who had a gloomy face on the way back to the US office in New Town.

"Hey, Burns, why don't you look happy that Xincheng agreed?" Mansoor asked curiously, looking at Burns.

"The message from the White House is that they want New City's technology more. Garrisoning is not necessary. I'm wondering how to get New City to hand over its technology." Burns explained.

"We have done it perfectly. There is no need to do anything more." Mansour said with a laugh.

Along the way, the three cars quickly arrived at the Xincheng Office.

Without even bothering to eat, Burns went straight to the telegraph room and sent a short telegram.

Then I waited silently in the room for an hour before I received a reply.

Burns looked at the reply above with mixed feelings. He didn't know whether this was right or not, but he had already made his choice and there was no room for regret.

As I left the telegraph room, I ran into Mansur.

"Did the White House respond? What did it say?" Mansour asked curiously.

"Not yet. I'm just dealing with other things. I'll talk to you after I come back from dinner." Burns said with a smile.

"The beef cooked by the chef today is very good, why don't you try it?" Mansur suggested sincerely.

"I want to eat some Chinese food, let's go to New Town Chinese Restaurant."

"Oh, it's a pity that I'm full, otherwise I would go with you." Mansoor said with regret.

After Burns went out, he drove to the New City Hotel alone, but after observing for a while, he did not enter the hotel. Instead, he parked the car in the parking lot at the intersection of the pedestrian street, got out of the car and walked alone to the New City Government Building.

After entering through the side door and communicating with the security guard, he was taken to Wang Jixin's office.

"Sit down for a while. Clan leader Wang Ze will be here soon." Wang Jixin greeted Burns at the door and entered the office.

Wang Jixin asked Burns to sit down in the reception room, and he personally brewed a pot of tea and poured him a cup.

As soon as he heard that Burns came by himself, Wang Jixin called Wang Ze. Although he was curious about what the other party was doing, Wang Jixin did not talk about this topic and planned to wait until Wang Ze arrived.

Burns kept looking at his watch. As time passed, Burns could no longer wait and said, "I came here to talk to you in private. Time is very tight. If Patriarch Wang can't come, I won't wait. I'll talk to you first."

Wang Jixin saw the other party's state and knew that he had come secretly this time, so he said seriously: "Okay, what do you want to talk about?"

"I hope you can refuse to station troops tomorrow and end this negotiation." Burns said directly without beating around the bush.

"Oh? Why? Isn't this the condition you proposed?" Wang Jixin said curiously.

“This is my personal request. I assure you that Singapore and Phu Quoc will find a way to give it to you. It just takes time until 61 years.”

Burns looked at Wang Jixin and said sincerely.
