Travel through the 1945 super power construction secret base

The next morning, shortly after the sun rose, Burns led his team to the new city to sign an important treaty with the new city.

When they arrived at the Xincheng Government Building, they were shocked by the scene before them: a large number of people gathered in front of the building, holding placards and shouting slogans.

“No to US military bases!”

“No concessions, no foreign powers.”

"Independence and opposition to garrison."

As soon as their vehicle stopped, the protesters tried to rush over but were stopped in time by the security personnel around them.

Mansour looked at all this in surprise and asked in confusion: "There are protests here too?"

For a country ruled by a family, popular protest seemed to him an incredible phenomenon.

However, Burns did not care about this problem, but decisively ordered the team to move forward and directly enter the new city government building.

Because he knew in his heart that Xincheng would definitely take some measures to disrupt the signing ceremony.

Although he did not expect such a march and protest, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Xincheng is really good at using various means.

When they walked into the conference room, they saw Wang Jixin and a group of staff sitting there, but Wang Ze was nowhere to be seen.

Burns asked curiously, "Didn't Patriarch Wang come?"

"Today's signing cannot be carried out. The news has spread and there is strong opposition from the people, so the clan leader will not come today." Wang Jixin said after they sat down.

"What? Not signing? That won't do! We have already agreed on something, how can we go back on our word?" Mansour became excited upon hearing this. He was waiting to find someone to transfer him back to the country after signing the contract. How could he not sign now?

Burns frowned, looked at Mansur, and said unhappily, "Calm down!"

After hearing Burns' words, Mansoor realized his gaffe, quickly apologized to everyone, lowered his head and stopped talking.

Burns has been trying hard to get New Town to sign a contract with them, but Wang Jixin has always firmly refused.

The negotiation atmosphere between the two men became increasingly tense, with neither side willing to give in.

Finally, Burns lowered the terms again and again and said: "Okay, we can consider selling you a piece of land in Singapore and Phu Quoc Island for you to build a military port, but you need to sign the contract today."

When Wang Jixin heard that they were finally getting down to business, he immediately perked up and said, "Oh? That's not a bad offer. If the price is reasonable, I can accept it on behalf of Xincheng."

Burns secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Two million US dollars, permanent land use rights, you can build a military port and station troops."

Wang Jixin nodded, thought for a moment and replied, "No problem, but if you like, we can also use light steel to offset the cost."

As soon as Burns heard about light steel, he immediately agreed.

For the United States, money is not a problem, but light steel is a material they urgently need.

According to the intelligence they obtained, the reason why the Soviet Air Force had strong combat effectiveness was due to the use of light steel.

Previously, the United States had tried many times to purchase light steel, but was rejected every time.

Now that Xincheng has proposed to use light steel as a payment method, does it mean that Xincheng may sell light steel to the United States?

However, these issues will be discussed later.

The talks ended successfully after Burns and Wang Jixin signed the revised contract.

"Burns, do you know what you are doing?!" Mansour shouted at Burns with an angry face, "How are we going to explain to our superiors when we go back if you sign an agreement with New Town without authorization?"

"If we do nothing today and the negotiations break down, wouldn't it be even more difficult to explain to our superiors?" Burns responded coldly with a hint of disdain on his face.

Mansoor's face turned red with anger at Burns' words, but he had no way to refute it.

"You don't need to worry about this matter. I will explain it clearly to the White House." Burns said coldly.

He thought to himself that if this man had not been sent by the Security Department, he would have driven him away long ago.

Burns was sure that the White House would accept this outcome. After all, he had obtained the authorization for the action, and the White House would have to accept it even if he did not give a reason.

However, he dared to do so because he knew the true intentions of the White House.

Preventing the birth of ASEAN is crucial because an ASEAN with nuclear weapons is completely different from an ASEAN without nuclear weapons.

Without nuclear weapons, ASEAN is just a loose makeshift group, but with the acquisition of nuclear weapons by the new city, if ASEAN is successfully formed, it will seriously threaten the national security of the United States.

That's why the White House issued the order to act.

Although the original goal was to garrison the Neustadt Canal, the current results are acceptable.

Mansoor looked at Burns' back, with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

But he also knew that he was powerless to change anything and could only endure it all in silence.

As Burns expected, when the treaty was reported to the White House, they did not object.

On the contrary, upon learning that Shincheng was unwilling to negotiate due to public protests, he achieved the goal through his personal efforts and wisdom, for which he was praised and received internal commendations.

The next day, before Xincheng could issue a statement, the American media published the treaty between the two parties.

Indonesia, North Vietnam, Cambodia and Malaya immediately protested against the treaty.

At the same time, the Malayan representatives who were discussing the establishment of ASEAN in New Town were also recalled.

It was only then that Wang Jixin suddenly realized that the United States' intention was not only to win over Xincheng to join their camp, but also to divide and weaken the Southeast Asian countries.

He had previously held a position in a small place, and his lack of international vision became his shortcoming.

The consequences of this misjudgment made him feel deeply guilty and self-blame.

"Brother, don't think too much. This is just a small problem. Even if we don't join ASEAN, so what? We don't have to be afraid of these countries combined." Wang Ze learned that his eldest brother was in a low mood recently, so he came to comfort him.

In fact, Wang Ze does hold this view.

The military strength of these ASEAN countries is too weak. Even if ASEAN is established with them, it will not be of much benefit to Xincheng.

At this stage, all the new city can achieve is an increase in its international influence.

Other countries were unable to provide sufficient support to the new city, either economically or militarily.

After comforting his elder brother, Wang Ze returned to the mountain base.

After all, the eldest brother is an experienced veteran, and it is enough for him to come in person to express his attitude.

He believed that his eldest brother could figure it out on his own.

The work of the research institute is more important because the ship design has been completed.
