After a while, the embroidered basket was filled with water, and the sense of loss made Pan Yunsheng, Li Cunxun and his mood very low.

"Germany's attitude is cold." Li Cunxun took a few puffs of cigarette, "After I proposed to fulfill the agreement as soon as possible, Germany not only asked for a delay in the transaction on the grounds that it was not ready, but also did not propose a new schedule. ”

"It's about the same in France." Liu Xiaobin smiled bitterly, "I think our offer is too low, so I didn't make any promises." ”

"The problem is not with Germany and France, but with the United States." Pan Yunsheng extinguished the cigarette butt and said, "Cao Xuehua had the seventh contact with the CIA representative, and the United States put forward detailed requirements, mainly because our composite battery production technology, the asking price is much lower than that of Germany and France." ”

"That is, Western countries unite to suppress us."

"So to speak, but the United States plays a leading role." Pan Yunsheng smiled coldly, "According to the confession, when Stockton met with the British Prime Minister, he assured Britain that the United States would not only share military technological achievements with Britain, but also take concrete actions to protect Britain's interests. At the NATO summit, Frederick's attitude was very clear that if France and Germany insist on making secret deals with us, the United States will change NATO's collective security policy. Until the EU has the capacity to provide collective security for all member states, NATO will remain the main security guarantee institution for Western European countries. Although France and Germany have always wanted to get rid of the United States and establish the EU's security guarantee mechanism, under the influence of the economic crisis, the EU has slowed down the process of defense integration. In the short term, the EU will still have to look at the face of the United States. ”

"To put it bluntly, the United States wants to monopolize the results."

"It used to be, and it wasn't." Pan Yunsheng shook his head and said, the intelligence sent back proves that the CIA has signed secret agreements with the intelligence agencies of European countries such as the French Security Service and the German Federal Security Service to jointly share the advanced technology obtained from us. Whether it is the United States, France or Germany, we are interested in the composite battery technology in our hands. The United States is not stupid, France and Germany are not stupid, only by taking concerted action and forming a technological monopoly can the interests be maximized, and any unilateral action will weaken the Western bloc. ”

Li Cunxun and Liu Xiaobin smiled bitterly and didn't say much.

"This thing proves it. The Western bloc has a common interest in the issue of containing China's land. Pan Yunsheng lit another cigarette. In the eyes of all Western countries. The rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the greatest threat. It will not only make Western countries withdraw from the center stage. It will also reduce most Western countries to second-rate or even third-rate countries. The clash of cultures transcends national borders. We cannot have any illusions about the Western bloc. ”

"The question is. How to solve real problems? Liu Xiaobin pulled the topic back.

"At least we still have in our hands what the Western bloc desperately wants to get." Pan Yunsheng smiled coldly. Said. "Cao Xuehua will have his eighth contact with the CIA tomorrow. I asked him to make suggestions for a higher level of engagement. Unsurprisingly. Within ten days. I will meet secretly with the Director General of the CIA in Bangkok. ”

"You're going in person?"

Pan Yunsheng nodded. "The intentional problem has been resolved. This will be followed by substantive negotiations. Cao Xuehuadi's level is not enough. It had to be me personally. ”

"We need to be ready as soon as possible." Li Cunxun sighed. "Xiao Liu and I will go to Bangkok as soon as possible. Decide what to do once you've decided on a meeting place. ”

"Let Cao Xuehua be responsible for these things, and you will stay and watch the Military Intelligence Bureau." Pan Yunsheng extinguished the cigarette butt and said, "No matter what, we have to solve the problem as soon as possible." Looking at it from another angle, the United States, like us, wants to solve the problem as soon as possible. Previous rounds of contacts have shown that the United States not only wants to trade technology with us, but also wants us to resolve the Japanese nuclear issue as soon as possible. In this case, the United States will make concessions as long as we make commitments. ”

Li Cunxun nodded and said, "Do you want to be recalled from Japan?" ”

"Not for the time being, we don't have the details of Japan's nuclear program yet, they must stay in Japan." Pan Yunsheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, the United States is sincerely trading with us and will not do anything to me." In a few months, I will retire and contribute to the MIA for the last time. ”

"Old Pan ......"

Seeing the surprised reactions of the two, Pan Yunsheng shook his head with a smile and didn't say anything more.

On September 23, Cao Xuehua and CIA representatives held their eighth secret contact in Kuala Lumpur to determine the time, place and main issues to be discussed at the high-level level.

On the same day, Tredui went to the White House to report to Frederick.

"China's attitude is very clear." Treduy rarely praised the C.I.A. in front of the president. "China has trusted the intelligence we have provided and believes that Japan can have a strategic deterrent capability in the short term."

Frederick frowned, looking a little impatient.

"Overall, we've achieved our goal." Tredui didn't dwell on it anymore and said, "The China News Bureau took the initiative to conduct high-level contacts and also put forward specific matters for consultation. ”

"Specifics?"

Treduy nodded and said, "As we predicted, China has asked us to provide some of the key subsystems of the ABL. It follows from this that medium

The base laser interception system has encountered technical bottlenecks, and it is difficult not to make these requirements in the short term. ”

Frederick pondered for a moment and said, "Is there a risk?" ”

"Absolutely, but the risk is manageable." Tredui hesitated for a moment and said, "The meeting place is set in Bangkok, and the meeting time is on the 13th, so we have plenty of time to prepare." ”

"China also has plenty of time to prepare."

"The exact meeting place is up to us." Tredui smiled and said, "In other words, we are responsible for safety. ”

Frederick frowned slightly. "Are there any technical risks?"

"It's not a big problem." Treduy pulled out a document and put it in front of Frederick, "Here's our analysis. We mastered several of the technologies that China asked for 10 years ago, and according to what we have now, even if we don't cooperate with China, China will be able to master these technologies within five years. ”

"In other words, China has accelerated the pace of building a national strategic defense system."

"It is precisely for this reason that the space-based laser interception system is a key part of the national strategic defense system." Tredui nodded and said, "Although China is also advancing sea-based and land-based missile defense systems, the air-based laser interception system has the best combat effectiveness and the most powerful interception capability." According to the information we obtained earlier, the first phase of China's national strategic defense system will be completed by the end of 2026, that is, five years later, and its technological development progress will basically coincide with the progress of system construction. China's eagerness to acquire several key technologies is evidence of its trust in the ground intelligence we provide. ”

Frederick pondered for a while and said: "In other words, after China obtains these technologies, it will be able to complete the first phase of the construction of the national strategic defense system in three years or even less." Will this cause harm to our national interests? ”

"The short-term impact is more obvious, but in the long term, the impact is not large."

Frederick was a little late, and motioned for Tredui to continue.

"China's national strategic defense system is very similar to our national missile defense system, and in the initial stage, it mainly uses land-based and sea-based anti-missile missiles and air-based laser interception systems. After entering the intermediate stage, the main means of interception will be fully transformed into energy weapons, with space-based interception systems as the main force. That is, the technology that we are now supplying to China can only be used on interception platforms at the primary stage and does not make much sense for the construction work at the intermediate stage. Starting in 2030, the construction of the intermediate stage of the NMD system will begin, and we will still be able to maintain a five- to ten-year lead in key technologies. ”

"Are you sure?"

Tredui nodded and said, "On the other hand, even if we don't provide the technology, in five years, China will make a breakthrough in related technology." Given the state of development of China, it is also capable of launching the second stage of construction of the national strategic defense system by 2035 (according to the division of the republic, it should be the third stage). It is definitely a very cost-effective deal for us to exchange the production technology of composite batteries with China with technology that only has short-term significance. ”

"The question is, will China use it for such a deal?"

Tredui hesitated for a moment and said, "What does the president mean?" ”

"Composite battery technology is the most important technology in China, will China use such a key technology to exchange something with us that has no long-term strategic value?"

"Is the president saying that China will play tricks?"

Frederick nodded, indicating that this was what he meant.

"It's almost non-existent." Treduy laughed and said, "We also have the basic technology of composite batteries, and all we lack is some tricks." During the negotiation, I will ask for an inspection. If China deceives us with fake things, at most the transaction will be terminated, and nothing will be lost to us. ”

"Will China accede to our demands?"

"If China doesn't agree, the most it can do is give up the deal." Tredui smiled coldly and said, "European countries have been tamed by us, and the choice is in our hands, not in China's hands." As long as China does not want to be attacked by Japan's nuclear attack, it will not make small moves on this issue. ”

Frederick nodded and said, "Safety and reliability must be ensured, and China cannot be cheapened." ”

"I personally went to Bangkok to meet with the head of the military intelligence agency." Tredui sighed, "The fact that the director of the China News Bureau has never revealed his identity, and his willingness to meet with me in person shows that China is very eager to acquire our technology." Either way, I don't think it's too serious. ”

Seeing the CIA director's sworn look, Frederick didn't say much.

Even if Tredui didn't insist, Frederick would have approved the CIA to exchange technology with the MIA, because that was exactly the strategy the United States had chosen.

Damn it**
