At the same time, in the city of Yinjiang.

Fang Jianwei had already reported the news of the imminent movement of the Japanese army in Shanghai to Chongqing in advance, so Zhong Yi learned the news earlier than Principal Chang.

Zhong Yi drove to Jiangbei as soon as he learned the news.

At this time, Commodus happened to be in the legation in Jiangbei, and until now, Commodus has been concurrently serving as the minister of the United States in Yinjiang, so he has to stay in Yinjiang for at least ten days a month.

It can be seen that Commodus still attaches great importance to Zhong Yi.

Otherwise, at this time, Commodus should have avoided Zhong Yi.

But then again, it's no surprise that Commodus values Zhong Yi.

Because Commodus also pointed to Yinjiang Development Bank to make a lot of money, and the expansion of Yinfa Bank is inseparable from Zhong Yi.

After meeting, without waiting for Zhong Yi to speak, Commodus said: "Zhong, you are here for the battle of Yinjiang, right?" If so, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you with anything, I'm really sorry. ”

In the first sentence, Commodus blocked Zhong Yi's later words in his stomach.

It's not that Commodus doesn't want to help Zhong Yi, but he really doesn't have the ability.

Again, at present, in the United States, isolationism is political correctness, and even the president will not dare to do anything that violates political correctness!

In addition, the Japanese government has also hinted that even if the United States captures Yinjiang, it will also guarantee the governance of the Yinjiang Industrial Zone, just as they guarantee the governance of the Public Concession and the French Concession in Shanghai.

The implication is that the Japanese army will not take over the Yinjiang Industrial Zone.

Zhong Yi had actually expected this, but he was still a little angry when he heard Commoder say it with his own ears.

This is the bird nature of the US government, under the guidance of the banner of political correctness, even if they know that it is wrong, they will bury their heads and do it, even if they pay a heavy price for it.

For example, isolationism has seriously damaged the overseas interests of the United States, but under the coercion of political correctness, or the so-called public opinion, no one dares to break this position.

However, Zhong Yi still refused to give up, and said in a deep voice: "Kang Maode, I think it is necessary to remind you that if the Japanese army really occupies the whole city of Yinjiang and only retains the industrial zone, then the factories invested and built by you merchants in Yinjiang will probably go bankrupt one after another, because the sales of products will be cut off." ”

"There's no way around it." Commodus shrugged his shoulders and said, "Since it's an investment, then even God can't guarantee that it will make money, Zhong, what do you say?" ”

Seeing Commodus shrugging his shoulders there, Zhong Yi really wanted to slap them in the mouth.

Regarding the position of Commodus or the US government, Zhong Yi can be said to be insightful.

To put it bluntly, Commodus felt that Yinjiang was in danger of falling, so he decided to divide his eggs into two baskets, on the one hand, he continued to cooperate with Zhong Yi's Yinjiang Municipal Government, and on the other hand, he also began to show goodwill to the Japanese government and release a certain amount of goodwill, so that if the Japanese army really occupied Yinjiang, the interests of the United States could be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

In other words, Commodus and the US government actually want to strike a balance and find the right and left.

Thinking of this, Zhong Yi became a little angry, and said in a deep voice: "Commodus, it seems that your family does not want to continue to publish the story behind Harry Potter, as well as the song of ice and fire. ”

"No, no, No, Zhong, you can't do that." Commodus was immediately anxious, and said in a loud voice, "Regarding Harry Potter and A Song of Ice and Fire, you signed an agreement with us. ”

Zhong Yi said: "It was your family who first did not abide by the cooperation agreement. ”

"How so." "We've been abiding by the agreement, and after Congress made a decision, even my second grandfather personally came forward to lobby the senators, but you know, it's not enough to change anything, and we still don't have a say in politics." ”

Zhong Yi said: "But don't tell me, you can't even convince a senator!" ”

"Of course not." Commodus smiled wryly, "But, Zhong, what's the use of a senator?" The voice he made did not represent the US government at all, and the Japanese did not care at all. ”

Zhong Yi said: "But what if this senator is McConaughey? ”

"McConaughey?" Commodus frowned, "This guy is preparing to run for the next president, and in order to win over voters, he will never go out of the ordinary at this time." ”

"There are many kinds of voters." Zhong Yi said, "McConaughey issued a strong voice at this time, warning the Japanese government to ensure the safety of the country's citizens overseas, wouldn't it be more able to win the hearts and minds of the people?" ”

Commodus's eyes lit up and said, "Hey, it seems to be true." ”

……

In Connecticut, it was already early in the morning.

After taking care of the business at hand, McConaughey was about to go to bed when the butler suddenly came in and reported, "Sir, old Mr. Commodus said that he had an urgent matter to see. ”

"Old Mr. Commodus?" McConaughey froze when he heard this.

The elder Commodor is a well-known political broker in Connecticut, and McConaughey's election as a senator from Connecticut is closely related to the support of the Commodor family, and more importantly, if McConaughey wants to go one step further and run for president, he must have greater support from the Commodor family.

McConaughey said, "Come in, Mr. Commodus Sr." ”

The butler said yes and turned to go, and McConaughey hurried to change his clothes.

When McConaughey changed into his formal attire and came to the manor's living room, the elder Commodus was already waiting there.

Commodus Sr. was in his eighties, and his face was already aging, as if he could breathe at any moment, but McConaughey knew that this guy had a powerful soul hidden in his body.

In Connecticut, no one dared to disdain old Commodus.

McConaughey stepped forward and gave Sammod a warm hug.

After a brief greeting, Commodus Sr. said directly: "McConaughey, what do you think your chances are?" ”

McConaughey shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile, "I don't think I'm even one percent chance of winning." ”

"In that case, you might as well find another way to win over some of the marginalized voters outside of mainstream public opinion, so that at least you can hold out until the last round, and the president may not have much hope, but the secretary of state still has a chance," Commod Sr. said. ”

McConaughey's eyes lit up immediately, and if he could be secretary of state, he would actually be perfectly acceptable.

Old Commodore said: "Tomorrow morning, you will hold a press conference to make a speech on Asian affairs, focusing on the upcoming battle of Yinjiang, and then warn the Japanese government that they must unconditionally guarantee the safety of the citizens of the United States who work or live in Yinjiang!" ”
