Chapter 1,145 There Is No Eternal Alliance
When Rocky said these words, Jiang Chen finally understood why he chose to meet him here.
Indeed, if it were here, it would definitely be considered safe.
Due to the distance factor, the communication channel between the moon and the earth is completely controlled by the Star Ring Trade, and there is absolutely no need to worry about the CIA's spies here. Although Jiang Chen felt that he was a little too cautious, Rocky still insisted that this was just necessary caution.
After the banquet, Xia Shiyu returned to the hotel where she stayed, while Jiang Chen and Luo Qi went to the lounge next to the banquet hall.
Sitting down on the chair, Rocky took out the cigar box from his arms, took out one and put it in his mouth. He was about to take out the lighter when he suddenly stopped and looked at Jiang Chen, grinning, "You don't mind? "
Jiang Chen shook his head and said he didn't mind.
"Thank you." With a grin, Rocky took out the cigar cutter, skillfully cut off the end of the cigar, lit it with a lighter, blew out a cigarette ring with an expression of enjoyment, and raised his eyebrows at Jiang Chen, "Here's one. ?”
"No, you can smoke it yourself." Jiang Chen shook his head, leaning on the chair and looking at the old man who was puffing away, "We might as well get to the point quickly -"
"Kerry is preparing to participate in the 2020 election." Rocky said calmly, also leaning on the chair.
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, took three seconds to digest the amount of information in this sentence, and then raised his eyebrows.
"so what?"
"It seems that you are not doing a good job with the intelligence work of the White House." Grinning, Rocky shrugged his shoulders, his eyes shining through the mist with a mysterious color, "Do you know who is here? Are you supporting Kerry?"
"Who else besides Wall Street?" Jiang Chen said with a smile. "This question is as boring as asking why Zhang Yaping was re-elected."
"No, no, no," Rocky shook the cigar between his fingers. "There are many companies on Wall Street. You can't look at Wall Street as a whole. My question is, who is the financial backer behind Kerry? who."
Can’t we look at Wall Street as a whole?
Jiang Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and he carefully pondered the meaning behind these words in his heart.
Looking at Jiang Chen who fell into silence, Rocky didn't seem to be in a hurry, just smoking a cigar and waiting for his answer with a smile.
The silence lasted for a full five minutes;
Jiang Chen broke the silence and spoke softly.
"Obviously, you can tell me."
"Yes, I can tell you." Luo Qi sat up from the chair and gently tapped the table with his finger. After Jiang Chen looked over, he slowly wrote a capital "m" on the table.
Looking at the movements of his hands, Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
"...Morgan?"
To be honest, it is not surprising that Wall Street manipulated Jiang Chen in the US election. This is not a one-term or two-term thing. Political donations and K Street in Washington, D.C., are two things that exist for this purpose. Although Jiang Chen was a little surprised that John Kerry suddenly decided to run for office and Morgan invested in Kerry, it was far from surprising.
What really surprised him was that Rocky told him all these things.
"That's right. I can also tell you that Kerry has already roped in the CIA," Lodge leaned back in his chair, crossed his fingers on his knees, and said with a smile, "The FBI is investigating members of Congress, and the CIA is watching the FBI , it’s interesting, isn’t it? I bet the election in 2020 will be the most exciting one in American history.”
"The most interesting thing is that you actually told this to someone who is not friendly to the United States." Jiang Chen smiled meaningfully and looked at him with interest, "Can you tell me the reason for you to do this? "
"Haha, you and I are both businessmen. Do you think nationality is important to us? If you really care about that identity, you won't run out and start your own business."
With that said, Rocky took out a photo from his arms and threw it on the table.
Jiang Chen looked at the photo and was about to ask who it was when Luo Qi took the initiative to speak.
"Joseph Kennedy."
Looking at the photo, Jiang Chen frowned.
"Other than the surname Kennedy, I had never even heard of the name Joseph."
"What does it matter? Voters knew nothing about many successful candidates before they ran for office." Shrugging, Rocky blew out a smoke ring and said with a smile, "Elections are like horse racing. As long as we are willing to bet on a potential candidate, there will always be a chance in the end. For example, the dark horse in 2008, who knew him before 2007?"
"Oh? Then why do you think that I will participate in your bet?" Jiang Chen said with a smile, "To put it bluntly, these are your own business."
"Because I will give you enough benefits," Rocky looked into Jiang Chen's eyes and said calmly, "If Kennedy is elected, we can consider giving Japan to you, or even joining your Earth Defense Alliance."
"I have to say that this proposal is indeed very attractive, but I really disagree with your credibility." Looking at Rocky, Jiang Chen said with a half-smile, "To be honest, I don't trust you, and you rely on What makes me believe that you will fulfill your promise? I can count on one hand the number of presidents who can fulfill 50% of your campaign promises. You don’t even dare to guarantee the votes of your own people, let alone me, an outsider? "
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Luo Qi smiled, stretched out his hand and took the photo back into his arms.
"Leaving aside the matter of Mr. Kennedy, have you thought about the consequences of Kerry's election?"
"Do you think the current Star Ring trade is still the same Star Ring trade two years ago?" Jiang Chen spread his hands and said with a smile, "Forget about Kerry, it's Roosevelt crawling out of the grave. Do you think I will care? What?"
More than two years ago, in order to develop the desalination market in the Middle East, Gaoxin Freshwater had to choose to list on Nasdaq to lower the vigilance of the United States. At that time, the Star Ring trade in front of the United States was probably no different from an ant. Just sending an aircraft carrier battle group from the free world could bring the Pannu people back to the embrace of Panzu.
However, now, not to mention the latest Ford-class aircraft carrier battle group, even the entire US aircraft carrier battle group has been dragged to the Western Pacific. At most, it will be a lose-lose fight with the Star Ring Trade. Even if Kerry is elected, so what?
"Well, I believe you are strong enough to ignore the entire NATO military power," Rocky shrugged and spread out the hand holding the cigar, "but now there are better choices in front of us, why do you Why don't you think about it? Mr. Kennedy will pay more attention to the aerospace industry than any previous president, and advocates abandoning the stereotypes between countries, abandoning the new Cold War mentality, and jointly fighting extraterrestrial civilizations... And what I said is all in His candidacy speech was not an empty promise.”
Having said this, Rocky stood up slowly while holding on to the armrests of his seat, threw the burned cigar into the ashtray, and looked at his watch.
"I will stay here for two days. I hope you can seriously consider it. If we join forces, we may be able to avoid an unnecessary war."
After speaking, Rocky walked towards the door.
"There is another question I don't understand." When Rocky walked to the door and looked at his back, Jiang Chen suddenly spoke, "Aren't you all from WASP?"
After releasing the door handle, Luo Qi turned to look at Jiang Chen and asked in a teasing tone.
"When Mr. Rothschild was still alive, weren't we also allies squatting in the same trench?" (To be continued.)
