MTL - I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World-Chapter 1492 The prelude of the new era
Regarding the "United States accession to the EU" negotiations, Jiang Chen did not have to pay too much tongue. When they were on the island, the two had already discussed it. Now they just put the good content into a specific document.
As a businessman, Trang is still very contractual. He did not sit on the position of the president and turned his face and refused to accept the account. After confirming that the content of the treaty was the same as that agreed at the time, he quickly signed himself on the agreement. name.
According to the contents of the agreement, the United States will fulfill its commitment within two months, submitting an application to join the Earth Defense Alliance and leaving the North Atlantic Treaty without any conditions.
In fact, from the moment of the defeat of the United States, NATO has already existed in name only. Relying on Britain and France (Germany has already withdrawn), it is impossible to compete with the Earth Defense Alliance. Especially after the Star Ring Trade has mastered nuclear defense methods, the strategic balance between the two sides has long been out of balance.
Now the United States "retreats", but it is fulfilling the expectations of the international community for the disintegration of NATO since this time.
"Now are you satisfied?" Two agreements, Trang scored one of them and looked at Jiang Chen. "I even suspect that you have already expected this day."
"I just thought about this possibility," Jiang Chen said, sipping the coffee in his cup and said slowly, "You should know that the Boston Consortium and I have always wanted to push the John F. Kennedy of the Democratic Party. The position, and you are Morgan and Rockefeller's additional chips. They think that you will be guilty and timid, and set off a new round of the Pacific Rim, which is in their best interests. I thought so at the time. However, if I pay a certain price and let the unsatisfactory diplomatic meeting reach an unexpected consensus, I am sure I can solve this problem once and for all."
"And now, I am right," said Jiang Chen with a faint smile. "The only thing I didn't expect was that they would start so fast that they rushed on the way you went back. The result was Vargas in Northern Colombia misjudged the situation and provoked the war that should not have happened in advance."
After listening to the cause and effect of Jiang Chen’s oral affair, Trang scored his mouth and did not speak for a while. Although he had guessed that he had been unable to get away with Wall Street, he did not expect to be counted by both sides.
After a long time, he slowly sighed.
"Sure enough... politics is really not suitable for me. My daughter also advised me not to smash this water, but I thought I could do it..."
"In fact, this game is very similar to the business. The only difference is that politicians don't have a little contractual spirit, and they must not." Jiang Chenwei smiled. "You should be glad, I am not sitting in front of you." politician."
“Can I ask the last question again?” Trump sighed softly.
"Of course." Jiang Chen nodded.
"You are so sure that they will do it for me because of those cubes?" Trang scored. "If they didn't start with me, would you fulfill the agreement reached on the sugar diplomacy?"
"This is two questions. Then I will answer your first question first. I said, I have only considered this possibility, and there is no absolute in the world. Both possibilities exist. Jiang Chenwei smiled. "As for your second question, my answer is yes. I still have this contract spirit."
"Even if you do this, you are unprofitable?" Trang scored with a smile, but with a bit of helplessness in the smile.
"There is no profit, but it is not the same. What you said is not the same as what I agree with." Putting down the coffee cup in his hand, Jiang Chen sighed softly. "The more you touch this sky, the more we I can feel my own smallness. A century ago we were still dreaming about what the inhabitants of the moon looked like, and today, a century later, we have put the flag on Mars. In your eyes, I may be negotiating on that day. I made a 'hard concession' on the table, but why don't you look ahead and see what we can get from this universe?"
"And if you really do," said Jiang Chen, paused for a moment and continued. "Then you shouldn’t find it hard. Compared to what we are about to get, the part that I gave out is as light as a feather. ""
The room was silent for a long time.
After a long time, Trang scored a smile, got up from the sofa and took care of the collar. Jiang Chen, who stood up and stood up, extended his right hand.
"In any case, you are a strong opponent."
"Correct, once it was," shaking the hand of Trang's spectrum, Jiang Chen smiled. "Now we are allies."
Although the answer was not what I wanted, Trump was a little relieved after leaving the Hilton Hotel.
If the man’s vision is not limited to this planet, then the fears in his heart seem to be superfluous. At least the people living in this land will not change because of the defeat. The soldiers of the Star Trade will not always ride on their heads. After all, in the eyes of the man, this territory is too small and small. There is a wider world waiting for him to conquer...
Although the world is where it is, it is still not visible from the perspective of Trang.
......
Even with expectations, the international community has shown considerable shock and regret for North America’s withdrawal from the North Atlantic Treaty.
After the United States joined the Earth Defense Alliance and became the fifth major member of the alliance, everyone clearly realized that the old era had already come to a close, and another new and great era was slowly kicking off.
According to the treaty signed by the Earth Defense Alliance, the main member states will contribute 5-7% of gdp (the secondary member contributes 3-4% gdp) according to their territorial size and population weight, for the development of the aerospace industry.
From the data point of view, this highest 7% gdp proportion seems to be too high, NATO's military spending requirements for member countries is only 2% of the national gdp. However, it should be noted that military expenditure itself is a kind of burden. The money spent on it does not have any return except for cheap arms dealers and a small number of jobs. It can neither improve people's lives nor obtain return on investment.
However, investment in the aerospace industry is different. Since the completion of the space elevator, the aerospace industry has been given economic value in addition to the national sense of honor. Whether it is space mining or the space industry, companies in all countries have seen visible benefits.
It is precisely because of this that the countries have not resisted the gdp contribution quotas stipulated in the treaty, and many countries have consciously surpassed the indicators.
Now, the United States has also been tied to the chariot of the Earth Defense Alliance. The original 50% of the Earth Defense Tax (forced by the non-members' space industry) was abolished, and the cost of the North American space company also fell sharply.
Although resentful for defeat, California, Massachusetts and other areas with more developed aerospace industries seem to have become the biggest beneficiaries of the US defeat.
Even in the current economic downturn in the United States, the space science and technology parks in San Francisco, Boston and other places are also in full swing. Large and small companies have sprung up, and various recruitment notices such as snowflake are sprinkled on universities across the country. With the introduction of the five-year tax reduction and exemption policy of the aerospace industry introduced by the US government, the aerospace industry in North America has exploded with astounding vitality, which has become a pillar industry for post-war economic recovery in North America...
As for the longer-term effects in the future, only the future will be known.
