Those who know it is the Internet, but those who don't know it is the fantasy world.
Xia Guo's trick is really: let you have thousands of changes, I only need one trick.
One trick breaks everything.
Xia Guo's move was not ruthless, it hit the vital point.
Since the beginning of the trade war in 18, the two sides have fought more than a dozen times, and each time they fought and stopped, but Xia Guo never played the small trump card of rare earth.
Then the matter didn't end completely. After Zhou Zhengfeng announced the end, sister Ying from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs came on stage.
In recent days, external forces have continuously provoked incidents, suppressed and sanctioned the normal commercial activities of Chinese companies in foreign countries. We strongly condemn this kind of behavior. The "Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law" was jointly formulated, which was approved and issued by the Ministry of the Interior and will take effect immediately.
Then came a whole bunch of legal issues, which made people drowsy.
There was a lot of content, but at the end, a sentence appeared on the big screen, which was a summary of the Anti-Foreign Sanctions Act.
[Include individuals and organizations that directly or indirectly participate in the formulation, decision, and implementation of the discriminatory restrictive measures stipulated in Article [-] of this Law in the countermeasure list. 】
The meaning of this sentence is almost the same as the SDN list of country M.
As soon as this law was promulgated, some organizations and companies that suppressed and sanctioned Xia Guo Company panicked.
If the embargo of rare earths has nothing to do with them, then the anti-sanctions law is the biggest blow to them.
As long as you dare to target Xia Guo's enterprises, then Xia Guo can file a lawsuit in the international court and ask for compensation.
If the international court can't solve it, then I'm sorry, we can also sanction it.
And more ruthless, stronger, and rougher than you!
Xia Guo's enterprises cheered, and the opposing enterprises and organizations began to discuss countermeasures intensively.
Today Xia Guo's attitude is so tough, beyond the panic of M country and all the allies.
How dare they do this?Who gave them the guts?
Inside the President's Office in the White Room, there was a mess, and the President was roaring.
The previous wisdom and arrogance were no longer on his face, replaced by endless anger.
The chief think tank of the president's think tank stood aside and said softly: Your Excellency, getting angry can't solve any problems. Getting angry will only make you lose your sharp judgment.
Why don't you make me angry, look at how many parades there are now?
You go to see today's Nasdaq, Dow Jones index?
Go and see how many business executives outside have come to see me?
The president growled.
If these things are not handled well, the next election and his re-election plan will be ruined.
Now that the problem has arisen, let us solve it!
Jonah remained extremely calm.
Report, Your Excellency, Mr. Sid, Mr. Born, and Mr. Leiter are here, saying that they have important reports.
The secret technique from the confidential department came in and interrupted the conversation between the two.
The faces of the President and Jonah changed slightly, but they still came.
West Germany, the boss of Lockheed Martin, the number one arms giant in country M, whose core business is aviation, aerospace, electronics, and information systems.
我们熟知的F-16战隼、F-22猛禽和F-35闪电、运输机包括C-130大力神战术运输机、SR-71黑鸟侦察机、U-2高空侦察机等都是这个公司设计和生产的。
LTECH, the boss of Boeing, the world's No. [-] aircraft manufacturer, the No. [-] aerospace-grade defense contractor, and a master in the aviation field.
F-15鹰、F-4鬼怪等战斗机、AV-8B和F/A-18大黄蜂等攻击机，B-52和B-1B战略轰炸机等，都是这个公司的杰作。
Born, M's second largest supplier of arms, a master of radar and missile technology, more than half of M's aircraft are equipped with the company's sound field radar, without this company, M's fighter planes and missiles are blind.
F-15的APG-63和APG-70雷达、F-22的AN/APG77雷达、B-2的APQ-181雷达、
Joint long-range attack weapons AGM-154, -7 Sparrow series, air defense missile Patriot series, air-to-air missile AIM Tomahawk cruise missile, etc.
Almost all missiles of the M army are produced by this company.
Please go to the living room, just say I will deal with some documents, and I will come right away!
The president gave an order immediately, his face livid.
If the rare earth issue cannot be resolved today, his term as president will come to an end.
Although he is the top leader of the world's largest country and the largest economy, there is really nothing to do with these companies.
These people are not only suppliers of the M Army, but also control most of the economy in the United States. The most important supporters of his re-election,
It's no exaggeration that his re-election ratings would drop 10 points if they made public speeches saying they didn't support him.
But what they need is interest, and they will support you only if you can generate interest for them.
Jonah, come with me to meet them!
The president glanced at Jonah and walked towards the living room first.
Your Excellency, you must be clear about the reason for our visit. How should we solve this matter?
Born cut straight to the point and pointed to the essence of the problem.
Without rare earths, there is no way to produce high-precision weapons. Without weapons, they have no profit, and without profits, they cannot maintain the operation of the company.
Don't you want carbon-based C3 material, Mr. Born?Don't you want to see them rise and let them weigh on your heads The sea of stars in the future is waiting for us.
Jonah is worthy of being the chief think tank. After some rhetorical questions, he directly suppressed most of the anger of the three of them.
Three gentlemen, we need time.
The president also weighed in.
After chatting for more than ten minutes, they asked the secret technique to knock on the door to come in, their faces were solemn.
Mr. President, the leaders of the seven-nation alliance would like to have a video conference with you.
In addition, the chairman of several major companies such as Apple, Alphabet, Qualcomm, and Intel will jointly visit and hope to chat with you!
Members of the two houses are also gathering, please come up with a decision!
Chapter 186 Persecuted Again
A few can go back first, I'm pretty busy here too!
With a solemn face, the president said to the three giants, and then walked out.
Your Excellency Baisen, you may consider our suggestion, we are waiting for your reply!
Sid's indifferent words made Byson's steady steps pause.
A few minutes later, in the presidential conference room, the leaders of the seven countries connected via video again.
What are you looking for from me?
Facing the three munitions magnates, Bison had no choice but to be amiable, but he was still very proud of the seven allies.
When you get on their boat, you can only go to the dark one way, and get off the boat halfway, then wait for revenge.
Your Excellency Baisen, what do you think of Xia Guo's actions?
Yes, Xia Guo's action this time is different from the past, it seems that he has made up his mind, how should we deal with it?
Your Excellency Baisen, if Xia Guo really implements the signed announcement, we will suffer a great loss.
The younger brothers from the six allies spoke one after another. Xia Guo's actions really scared them.
Especially in Korea and Fusang, where resources are scarce, increasing Xia's tariffs will be a big loss for them, and they may not be able to persist for a long time.
Originally, they wanted to put pressure on Xia Guo and force Xia Guo to open up the C3 materials, but they never thought that Xia Guo's attitude would be so tough that they would be hard-pressed to get off.
You don't need to worry, this is within our prediction, so there is no need to worry.
Although Bai Sen was very angry in his heart, his facial expression was still calm, as if he was holding a wisdom pearl.
All you have to do is wait patiently, there is no need to panic.
After comforting a few younger brothers, Bai Sen went offline.
After going offline, several younger brothers reacted differently.
Goryeo and Fusang are full of worry and helplessness. They are too close to Xia Guo and rely too much on Xia Guo.
Ah Sanguo is eager to try, they always feel that they are awesome, and they can meet Xia Guo!
The eagle country and the kangaroo country don't matter, they are far enough away from the Xia country.
Especially in the Kangaroo Country, they are confident that they are rich in iron ore, beef, wheat, red wine, seafood, etc. are of good quality, have a large export volume, and Xia Country has a lot of demand, so they are not afraid at all.
Because no matter what price they sell, even if it is a very inferior product in China, it will be snapped up when it is exported to Xia Guo.
They have mastered the habit of the people of the Xia Kingdom to remember to eat but not to fight.
After logging off, Bison's face became even more gloomy, looking at Jonah, the think tank who was standing quietly.
Jonah, what do you think of Sid's proposal?
Sid, who had always had a calm face, suddenly changed his expression when he heard Byson asking about this matter.
Your Excellency, please be careful, this will cause friction, we will bear the responsibility of provoking war, and international public opinion will be very unfavorable to us.
Come on, go and listen to the voice of the Parliament!
Baisen did not continue to struggle with this issue, but instead brought the topic to the parliament.
Go and tell the heads of several major companies such as Apple that I am going to participate in the parliament. If they are willing to wait, they will wait. If they are not willing to wait, they will go back and wait and see.
Bai Sen gave orders while walking, and the confidential secretary left in response.
When we arrived at the parliament hall, all 100 members of the Senate, the House of Representatives and the House of Representatives were present. After signing the announcement yesterday, this group of people did not go back.
The noisy councilors in the chamber immediately fell silent when they saw Baisen walking in.
After Bai Sen sat down, one of them immediately stood up and said, "Your Excellency, in view of Xia Guo's reaction, we should ask the Great Bear Kingdom or the Gaul Kingdom to mediate, and sit down with Xia Guo to have a good chat to avoid intensifying friction."
Against, don't forget what is the purpose of our signing the proclamation? Do you still want the C3 material?If we back down today, Xia Guo has C3 materials, and our dominance will be unstable in a few years.
Yes, the country of Xia is developing too fast. It was able to develop rapidly even when it was suppressed before. Now that they have C3 materials, they will definitely get more resources and support from more countries.
Have you ever thought that Xia Guo banned the sale of rare earths to us, and our high-end weapons can no longer be produced, what does this mean, you all know very well!
Your Excellency, I heard that West Germany, Born, and Leiter are looking for you!
Bison's face was expressionless, and the MPs each held their own words.
After about a few minutes, Bai Sen suddenly said: Everyone, what if we mobilize the Seventh Fleet to the vicinity of Xiaguo sea area?
The small voice was like thunder in the chamber, and it exploded in everyone's ears, and the faces of most of the councilors changed drastically.
There are also some congressmen with fanaticism on their faces, and these people are all hawks.
Xia Guo is conducting a military exercise, and the Seventh Fleet is sailing at his doorstep. This is Chi Guoguo's provocation.
Bai Sen saw the expressions on everyone's faces, and there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
Isn't everyone quite arrogant?Are you scared to hear this suggestion now?
I agree!
agree!
Can try!
Oppose, we don't have any name, this is creating military friction!
Joke, free navigation also needs to look at other people's faces?
This is the best way, otherwise the rare earth ban will affect us too much.
After half an hour of debate, the two houses finally reached a conclusion on sending the Seventh Fleet to sail.
With the approval of two-thirds of the members of the two houses and the approval of the Ministry of State F, the order signed by the president was transmitted to the First Fleet, and the entire First Fleet headquarters moved.
Two hours later, the COS-15 fleet set sail and headed for Xia Guo's South China Sea.
At this moment, Xia Guo was in the darkness before dawn, but the entire building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was already brightly lit.
As soon as the COS-15 fleet set sail, Xia Guo got the news.
