Travel through the 1945 super power construction secret base

Wang Jixin frowned and asked in confusion: "Why do you do this?"

He did not agree easily, but asked the other party back.

Burns looked at Wang Jixin quietly, seeming a little hesitant.

After a moment, he sighed deeply and replied, "Because I belong to the Democratic Party. For the success of the next election, we can't let the Republicans continue to be in the spotlight."

Hearing this, Wang Jixin immediately understood the whole story.

As ambassador to New Town, Burns should have followed the instructions of the White House, but in reality, some people in the Democratic Party did not want to see the Republicans succeed in this matter.

The defeat in the Korean War caused the Democratic Party to lose a large number of votes, while the Republican Party had been in power for two consecutive terms and its reputation was already very high.

If Newtown can join the American camp, the current vice president will become a popular candidate for the next US president.

Whether it is stationing troops, purchasing or signing treaties, the vice president will definitely be responsible for it, which will undoubtedly greatly enhance his reputation and support rate.

According to the latest opinion polls, the Democrats are currently slightly behind the Republicans in the election, so they must take action to prevent the Republicans from gaining more advantages in this incident, otherwise their chances of winning the next election will become very slim.

"Okay, but what benefits can New Town get? We can't wait until your election is over. By then, all your promises may not be fulfilled."

Wang Jixin put his hands on his legs and looked at Burns with a serious expression.

"As long as the negotiations fail this time, you can set the conditions."

Burns gritted his teeth and spoke firmly.

At this time, he was extremely conflicted. On the one hand, there were national interests, on the other hand, there were party interests, and even personal relationships.

John is the Democratic candidate. He is not only his colleague in the Foreign Intelligence Department of the Naval Intelligence Office, but now he is also his backer.

And he was able to become the ambassador thanks to John's help behind the scenes, otherwise an ordinary, lower-class American like him would have almost no chance of reaching this point today.

So when John made the offer, he simply couldn't refuse.

Burns secretly prayed that John would be successfully elected because he had staked his entire political career on this matter.

"Singapore and Phu Quoc Island will be given to us first, and the agreement between the two countries will be signed in 61 years." After pondering for a moment, Wang Jixin expressed his thoughts.

No matter what the final outcome is, we must first ensure that actual benefits are obtained, otherwise if the Democrats lose, all efforts will be in vain.

"Absolutely not. There is no reason to hand over these places to you at the moment, and the White House will never agree to it." Burns refused without hesitation.

It's not that he doesn't want to do it, but that he simply can't do it.

Now that the Republicans are in power, they may be able to get away with some small moves behind the scenes, but giving away the island so blatantly will certainly not escape the supervision of the White House.

"Then you have to give us some promises. You can't let us take risks to work for you in vain." Wang Jixin leaned leisurely in his chair and said calmly.

Burns looked at his watch and realized that time was running out and he could not delay any longer, so he said, "Singapore and Phu Quoc Island are absolutely impossible to be handed over at the moment, but I can sell you a port in Singapore and a port in Phu Quoc Island, and allow you to build a military port and station troops there. When the negotiations begin in 1961, the two islands will belong to you, and you will not be required to station troops in the canal."

“Sell it? And we have to spend money to buy it?” Wang Jixin asked in astonishment.

"There must be a reason to give the White House. If you build a military port, you will not lose out even if the Democrats fail later." Burns expressed his opinion.

The plan proposed by Burns can indeed meet the interests of all parties.

From the White House's perspective, this move could achieve their goal of disrupting the situation in Southeast Asia.

At the same time, such small deals will not enhance the reputation of the current government, which is in line with the expectations of the forces behind it.

For Burns personally, this approach to foreign affairs helps to demonstrate his ability and wisdom, thereby increasing his influence on the political stage.

The new city only needs to pay a certain amount of money to obtain the right to use the military port at an important node, which is undoubtedly a good deal.

In this game, each party has its own interests.

Burns' proposal seems to have found a balance that will benefit all four parties.

Wang Jixin tapped the table lightly, thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I will let you see the results you want in tomorrow's meeting."

Wang Jixin understood that the new city could not really allow the United States to station troops on the Eastern Canal, but the immediate benefits were real.

In this case, why not seize the opportunity? He decided to accept Burns's advice. After all, in the international political arena, being flexible and seizing opportunities is the way to survive.

It took only ten minutes for both sides to finish discussing the matter. Burns saw that it was settled, so he stood up and said goodbye. He couldn't delay, lest the people in the office become suspicious.

After Burns left, he walked quickly to his car, then ate bread while driving. He couldn't eat the meal, so he could only eat bread to fill his hunger.

Not long after Burns left, Wang Ze arrived at the Xincheng Government Building. When he arrived at his elder brother's office, he found that he had already left.

"Brother, how come you finished so quickly?" Wang Ze said in surprise as he walked to the sofa and sat down, then poured himself a cup of tea.

"He came here privately as he was in a hurry. He said a few words and then left." When Wang Jixin saw Wang Ze coming, he left his desk, sat on the sofa and started chatting with Wang Ze.

"What did you say?" Wang Ze asked curiously.

After listening to Wang Jixin's detailed recount of the previous conversation, Wang Ze couldn't help laughing out loud.

"In that case, let's do as you say." Wang Ze smiled and nodded, expressing his approval of the plan.

However, Wang Jixin said with some worry: "I am afraid they will not be able to fulfill their promises in the future. If they lose the election, we will not be able to get these two places."

These two places are vital to the new city, and Wang Jixin really doesn't want to give up easily.

"Don't worry, they will definitely succeed, believe me." Wang Ze replied confidently.

In fact, Wang Ze doesn’t know much about the American president, but he does know who the next president will be.

After all, this person was too famous. There were all kinds of conspiracy speculations about the American president who was assassinated without any reason on the Internet in the future. Wang Ze also read a lot of them and remembered this person.

Therefore, Wang Ze is confident that the Democratic Party will win the next election.
