    There is a famous novel in later generations called "China Can Say No". This book was sought after as soon as it was published. It was a sensation. Many Chinese were fascinated by the content of this book and even shouted excitedly:  "China has risen! You don't have to look at anyone anymore!" and so on.  But Fang Zida is not an angry young man. This kind of self-deception is simply the obscenity of some literati.  Can China say no?  Even if the United States could say no to this sentence, I'm afraid it would be difficult to do so. You must know that the United States in later generations is the most powerful country in the world. In a sense, even the President of the United States privately admitted that some issues still require compromise.  A compromise must be made.

    Today¡¯s China is far from reaching the national strength of China in the 21st century, and today¡¯s international situation is far more complex than that of later generations.  Even if Fang Zida was angry at the private tricks and calculations of Western countries, he still had to deal with these things in a tactful way, and it was absolutely impossible to refuse him face to face.

    Perhaps it was Fang Zida¡¯s performance that caused the other party to misunderstand. Richard immediately opened his mouth and made a bunch of demands. The content was almost the same as what Marcos had given him before, and some aspects were even more demanding.

    After listening, Fang Zida did not get angry, but instead showed a thoughtful expression.  After a while, he finally said: "As for the economic help proposed by your country, as the Prime Minister of the Republic of China, I personally welcome it very much. In recent years, China has achieved a lot of development in various aspects, especially the industrial and commercial cooperation with your country.  We have achieved unprecedented growth in our cooperation, which is inseparable from your country¡¯s help.¡±

    Fang Zida first touted the friendly cooperation between the U.S. government and consortiums in business and finance with China. After finishing the clich¨¦, Fang Zida regretfully told Richard and others that China is a constitutional country, and in terms of economy, countries only have  It has the power of guidance but no power of determination. Even if the operation of the central bank is relatively independent under the supervision of the Ministry of Finance and the Cabinet, these cooperations still need to be approved by Congress before they can be implemented.  Of course, Fang Zida personally agrees with cooperation with the United States, not just the United States.  Even cooperation from Western countries such as the United Kingdom and France is welcomed with both hands.  After all, this has a good role in promoting China's development, but Fang Zida's personal opinion does not count. As mentioned before, the government only has the right to guide.

    ¡°But for friendly countries like the United States, as Prime Minister Fang Zida can still carry out limited cooperation in some aspects, but of course these aspects of cooperation are far from what Richard requires.

    "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, thank you for your candor. But I think we can go deeper, right? Your government has won this war, and now you and your cabinet members have extremely high prestige in the country. I think as long as you  If you can show your attitude, there will definitely be no problems with the Congress, what do you think?"

    Of course, Richard would not be satisfied with Fang Zida's suggestion. In his opinion, what Fang Zida agreed to was only a small cooperation.  He did not solve the key problem.

    The smile on Fang Zida's face instantly faded, and his expression became a little unhappy: "Sir, what do you mean by this? Can the power of the president of a democratic government like yours be higher than that of the Congress? If that is the case, I  Can it be considered that Mr. President of your country has the same rights as Mr. Stalin of the Soviet Union?¡±

    "No, no, no! Of course I didn't mean that! Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I"

    Fang Zida interrupted the other party's explanation rudely and continued with a sullen face: "The reason why a democratic country is called a democracy is that no one can have absolute rights. Rights need to be restricted. Supervision is even more needed! Although China is on the road to democracy,  Not long, but we have been working hard to move in this direction from the beginning. The United States has always been the goal of our study, but today you gave me another answer. Is our democratic process going wrong?"

    How dare Richard answer this question? If he gave the wrong answer today, I'm afraid it would be published in the newspaper the next day.  A representative of an American consortium or even the government actually claims that American democracy is hypocritical and does not need to be supervised by law or rights. This kind of public opinion can completely ruin his future. Without him returning to the United States, the consortium and the government will usher in.  Double blame for the government.

    For a moment, Richard didn¡¯t know how to answer, and his expression became particularly awkward.  At this moment.  Eisenhower, who had been silent until now, intervened to save him from the embarrassment.

    "Your Excellency, this is not the intention of Mr. Richard. Of course, we understand your concerns. However, in our view, the reconstruction of Russia is also very important. In order to reduce the burden on your country, we can make great achievements in the reconstruction of Russia.  With in-depth and effective cooperation, these should be no problem, right?¡±

    "Yes, yes!" Richard gave Eisenhower a grateful look and immediately took over the topic: "In a sense, helping Russia not only gives the Russian people new hope, but also helps Russia move towards democracy."?Good start.  In addition, our cooperation in Russia can also reduce your country's financial burden and deepen the friendship between the two parties.  This is of great benefit to both the Prime Minister and your Congress.  "

    After cutting off the tentacles that the Americans and the British, French and other countries behind them extended to the country, Richard quickly turned the topic to Russia after Eisenhower's reminder. In this way, Fang Zida could no longer use the domestic system and Congress to prevaricate.  At this time, Fang Zida couldn't help but sigh at Eisenhower's astuteness. No wonder Eisenhower was known as the most politically intelligent soldier. His ability to become president later was not only due to his high prestige in World War II, but also his political ability was particularly important.

    Smiling and nodding, Fang Zida agreed: "Of course, we can definitely cooperate in the reconstruction of Russia, which is what I personally want to see. However, I am afraid that I am a little disappointed, because even if I agree,  It¡¯s no use!¡±

    Looking at Fang Zida innocently spreading his hands, Richard asked in surprise: "Why do you say that, Your Excellency Prime Minister?"

    "Because you have mistaken the goal." Fang Zida said with a smile: "You should not come to me about this matter, but should go to Moscow to discuss it with Her Majesty the Queen. Russia is still an independent country, and no one can do this.  Deny it. In the Sino-Soviet war, our country declared war out of justice in the free world. Our country and Russia are only allies in the war. Only the Russian government can decide on Russia¡¯s affairs, not something third countries like us can discuss privately.  "

    "This bastard!" Richard was almost stunned by Fang Zida's confident-sounding words. Who in the world doesn't know that Russia only follows China now?  In the Sino-Soviet War, although the Russian Empire won the war and achieved the beginning of its revival with the support of China, the whole world knew that after this war, China had become the largest creditor and backer of the Russian Empire.  To put it bluntly, if Fang Zida stamps his foot now, Russia's political situation will be shaken. In some respects, as long as the Chinese speak, Russia will never refuse.

    Now Fang Zida pushed 256, showing his helpless attitude, asking them to negotiate directly with the Russian government.  He was completely treating him like a fool, which made Richard so angry that his lungs almost exploded, but he couldn't use this reason to accuse Fang Zida in person. You must know that Fang Zida's words could not be refuted whether in private or in public. Could it be that he  Can we ignore Russia's independence and insist on placing China above the Russian government?  If he said this, it would be strange if the Chinese and Russian governments did not protest.

    "Of courseof course" Richard showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and gritted his teeth and said: "Of course we will discuss these with the Russian government and Her Majesty the Queen. But as an ally of Russia, we came here this time because we want to  Obtain the consent of your country and your Excellency the Prime Minister, and if possible, we also hope that you can convey our goodwill to Russia through your influence."

    "So that's it!" Fang Zida suddenly realized, clasped his hands and laughed, and immediately said without hesitation: "This is absolutely no problem, even if it is not for the long-term friendship between China and the United States, even if it is for the sake of friends, this is  We must help. Bray, record this matter and find time to ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to come forward and pass on the requirements of our American friends to our Russian friends."

    Chen Xuen, who was the secretary for this meeting, stood up quickly, expressed his understanding, and carefully recorded this in his notebook.
