Chapter 1111 (1/2)

”Japan is discussing joining the Earth Defense Alliance.”

A report was on Hillary Clinton's desk. Secretary of state Kerry went to the sofa in the office, sat down, took a coffee cup, sipped, moistened his voice and continued, ”the trouble is, it's not just Japan. Australia and New Zealand are also wobbling.”

”This is a white eyed wolf that is not well fed.” The chief of staff standing next to Hillary couldn't help but murmured.

”What about our nuclear power assistance program?” As she opened the papers Kerry had left on his desk, Hillary asked in a deep voice as she scanned the reports on Japan's domestic politics.

Kerry shook his head and said, ”it's no use. At present, our nuclear power project is not attractive to Japan. Two months ago, Exelon nuclear power company and East Japan electric power company talked about nuclear power projects for more than half a year. At this time, it is meaningless to talk about nuclear power again.”

”Yes.” Hillary pinched her sour eyebrows and said with a headache, ”what's Australia doing for fun? When are they interested in outer space resources?”

Australia itself is a big mining country, and its own domestic minerals can not be developed, so it is not necessary to mine in outer space. In principle, the defense Tax issued by the Earth Defense Alliance has pushed up the average price of the global commodity market. It is only good for them. How come they who are least likely to be interested in outer space resources are hesitant to join the alliance?

”Because of the Global Grid initiative.” Leaving the coffee cup heavily on the coffee table, Kerry walked to Hillary Clinton's desk and said with a gloomy look, ”just half a month ago, the Australian Federal Parliament was discussing expanding the electricity import quota to replace all thermal power plants in Victoria and New South Wales, so as to reach a 19-year carbon emission reduction plan.”

”We must immediately put pressure on Japan and do everything possible to prevent them from joining the Earth Defense Alliance.” The chief of staff immediately said to Hillary Clinton, ”I propose to immediately start the 19-year Asia Pacific joint military exercise, and at the same time, send two aircraft carrier battle groups and two divisions of Marine Corps to go to Guam and Okinawa respectively, so as to restrain the influence of star ring trade in the region by” existing fleet. ”

”It will stimulate China.” Hillary said in a deep voice.

”It's not the same! New countries, or star ring trade, have replaced China and become the primary threat that may shake our global hegemony! If we can't stop them from expanding their regional influence, they are likely to subvert all the achievements we have accumulated since the Vietnam War! ” Said the chief of staff with emotion.

”If this leads to a new round of cold war,” Clinton looked sharply at her chief of staff. ”Who should take the responsibility?”

The chief of staff opened his mouth, ready to say something, but after meeting Hillary, he quickly closed his mouth.

Just now, he saw in the president's eyes a touch of caution that shouldn't have been.

It's not about the fate of the country, but about one's own political career.

The United States has stood at the point of divergence of fate. The pressure from the outside is more severe than ever. If she makes a wrong choice, she may become a criminal for ages and be nailed to the stigma column of history.

The crow's feet were mixed together. Hillary closed her eyes and pondered for a long time. Then she said slowly, ”we must take the dominant power from the Earth Defense Alliance, and let the issue of extraterrestrial civilization return to the framework of the United Nations.”

”Contact our allies in Asia and inform them that the 19-year Asia Pacific joint military exercise will be held next month. In addition, in the name of participating in military exercises, we sent the fort class nuclear powered aircraft carrier to go to Guam. ”At this point, Hillary looked at Kerry.” finally, please go to the new country, we must have a good talk with star ring trade. ”

”It's no use,” Kerry shook his head. ”It's not the first time I've dealt with that man. He's not the kind of person who's willing to compromise. From the first time I saw him, I had a hunch that this guy would be a threat to the United States. ”

”How do you know if you don't try. Since they are enterprises, I believe that there is nothing that interests can not solve. ” Hillary said faintly.

”Of course, there's nothing that can't be solved by interests,” Kerry said with a laugh, and his hands were outstretched. ”It's just that they want the crown on our heads, and we can't afford it!”

Leaving that sentence, Kerry walked away from the president's office.

Back in his office, slamming the door, Kerry walks to the map.

With a sullen face, he looked up at the red lines drawn with oil pen that spread all over Asia and even began to move to South America. The red lines, like a spider web, spread from Coro island to all around, and eventually fattened the fat spider star ring trade.
