Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 1020 Perfunctory Arrangements

"Nice, baby!"

Sitting in the convoy protected by the Secret Service, Carter quickly flipped through a meeting plan in his hand.Just a cursory glance, Carter almost laughed out loud.

That old man, while saying that the Japanese are bad, at the same time he himself is not much better!

The U.S.-Japan congressional meeting is basically a regular meeting, either held in Tokyo or in Washington.In theory, it is stipulated that it will be held once a year to strengthen exchanges and cooperation between the two sides.But in fact, there are two or three meetings held almost every year.

Different from the G5 and G10 talks, this kind of regular meeting is more frequent, and the participants are only the United States and Japan.It is basically certain that this kind of meeting is not a formal meeting, that is, what is really going to be discussed, the kind that has been discussed long ago.Since we can talk about some real things frankly and honestly, what is there to talk about in two days with this group of guys who can be called the top lineup? !

The only thing that can't be talked about, combined with Scowcroft's words, Carter can guess with a high probability is the issue he just discussed in the office.Japan's current dependence on external demand has increased, and the current Secretary of State of the United States happens to be James Baker, who can be said to have pushed Japan to such a situation single-handedly.

It seems that there is no need to submit any report by yourself to suggest that he encourage the opening of the Japanese financial market!This dude is doing it himself
After confirming this information, Carter is much more at ease.He happily took a sip of the mineral water provided in the Secret Service vehicle, the water is so watery, and the bodyguards are also so people.
But, this is the US Secret Service!Although under the protection of these people, it is easy to die in their hands occasionally, but look at the bald eagle badge, what is the card face? !

As the saying goes, comfort makes people beautiful. Looking happily at the rough schedule provided by the US, Carter wanted to laugh: on the 24th, that is, today, I will arrange a stay. Before the dinner, I will talk about Asia-Pacific security and the US military in Japan. .

The topic of the US military stationed in Japan is definitely a commonplace.Why the U.S. must urge the Pacific Command to strengthen military discipline, and never tolerate U.S. soldiers who violate the law and discipline.
This is basically a process, and it is really not worth talking about alone!
And another Asia-Pacific security issue, it will be even more complicated!
Not considering the influence of Russia or something, but preventing the proliferation of nuclear weapons? ?

Does Japan have nuclear weapons? !It's not like shouting slogans, is it? !
If it is a multilateral talk, you can bring Japan to shout a few words to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons and engage in nuclear disarmament.There are no outsiders at all, what are you talking about here? !
On the 25th, the second day, talk about environmental protection issues!Reduction of pollution and energy saving and emission reduction Barabara.
This is also a bit of a joking topic. Don’t forget that in the 80s, the energy-saving and emission-reduction technologies of Japanese cars, including the strictness of the automobile exhaust emission standards introduced by Japan
Is it you, the United States, asking Japan to engage in pollution prevention and control, or is Japan asking the United States to engage in pollution prevention and control? !People's own environmental protection is not better than you?Turns out you're here to ask? ?
On the 26th and 27th, these two days are about democracy and cultural exchanges. The schedule has to be arranged for Carter to take these people to California, one day in San Francisco, one day in Los Angeles, and take them for a walk in the American and Japanese communities. , highlighting a pass.

It was not until the last day, the 28th, that they met in Washington and really talked about the core issue: international trade, to be precise, the expansion of investment between the US and Japan!

The entire schedule can be described as clear and clear, and the time ahead is for Nobusuke Kishi to calm down and think about how to speak.And the reason why he sent himself out to take charge of this matter, Carter understood after a little thought!

Deliberately disgusting the Japanese is on the one hand, using a guy like himself who is "insignificant" to come forward and greet people who are completely unequal to the other party, the purpose is no less than to slap them in the face, so that they don't have unrealistic fantasy.

And in this process, maybe Lao Bu and the others are also looking forward to their insinuations, or simply speaking bluntly, pointing to this group of Japanese, and exchange some sincere things for the market!
Once you understand the internal causes, what you want to do and what you should do, the rest will be easy to handle!

After arriving at the airport, holding the signboard of the Secret Service, a convoy drove directly into the airport from the side gate of the airport. Under the guidance of an infield vehicle, the convoy arrived at an apron.then there is waiting
Not long after, an aircraft painted by ANA was pushed into the seat. When the door opened, when he saw Carter's bright and harmless smile under the gangway car, the old guy's face was obviously stiff one time.
As the saying goes, those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black. Carter, who has been mixed with little kids since he came to Washington, is now in a younger state than before.He is obviously in his thirties, but he looks like he is only 25-[-].
Compared with the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tom Foley, who should appear here, the gap is not too big!
"Hello, Mr. Black."

After shaking hands coldly, after giving Carter the face of the Stars and Stripes on his collar, the old man walked around Carter without saying a word.For itinerary issues, naturally, the other party's assistant or team logistics officer will be in charge of the matchmaking.

Carter doesn't care whether he can't shake his face or not, what he does is dirty work, and he still expects flowers to line the way to welcome him?
After handing over the schedule formulated by the US side to the person in charge of the Japanese team, and then symbolically asking Chairman Nobusuke Kishi if he had any taboos, Carter also got in the car and called the team to set off.

Here is another point that Carter wants to complain slightly: when he came, he took a Cadillac, but now when he goes back, he can only take a Saab class
Fortunately, he doesn't have to squeeze in with the agents!Leaning on the co-pilot's chair, Carter leisurely looked at the receding scenery outside the window.
The first day was uneventful.

The Japanese neither expressed their dissatisfaction positively, nor sent a message to Carter to ask which congressman to see.Carter is also happy to relax
After having dinner with the delegation, Carter went home.

"Sister Jin, do you still have food? I haven't had enough tonight"

As soon as he got home, Carter rushed to the kitchen in a hurry.

It stands to reason that, as the responsible official responsible for coordinating the visiting team from Japan, and even shouldering the heavy responsibility of information transmission, Carter should have been with the team all the time these days.But why, for these people.
Perhaps, let them find out that even a small federal official can completely ignore them, and when it is time to eat and drink, can they recognize their status more clearly? !

To put it simply, they came here this time to ask for help!

Carter was well aware of this: they didn't want to open up their markets, especially foreign capital controls.However, the US market is needed to maintain the employment rate in Japan. To maintain the employment rate is to protect the people's livelihood!
In such an era of collapse, there is nothing that the Japanese people look forward to more than stability!
