Chapter 751: A hunting dog must have the consciousness of a hunting dog
Listening to Tritt's words, the relaxation on Chief Bush's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a rare seriousness.

His brows began to frown slowly, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a rhythmic sound, which seemed to silently emphasize the urgency of the situation.

From Tritt's speech, he realized that this was not just a matter of public opinion war, but also an incident related to national security.

After a while, Chief Bush looked at Mueller seriously and nodded, indicating that he fully agreed with these necessary precautions.

Well, he doesn’t have the patience to listen too much, so he should nod earlier and finish the matter earlier.

"Mr. Treat," Bush stood up, with a hint of unnoticeable nervousness in his voice, "I need you to be responsible for all of this. I trust your judgment and ability."

His words revealed his trust in Tritt, but also a hint of...

The cunning way of shirking responsibility.

If you don't do it well, it's all the fault of the people below.

This was taught by his father, Old Bush.

At this time, Muller, the person in charge of Ferbole, reminded him without understanding the current situation,
"Mr. Chief, we should speed up communication with China and other relevant countries and propose a joint investigation of this matter to show our sincerity and transparency."

There was a hint of urgency in Mueller's words, but after hearing this, Chief Bush became impatient.

He frowned and complained, "Since we didn't do it, there is no need for us to communicate with China. They will solve their problems themselves."

There was a hint of contempt in his words, as if he was mocking Mueller's naivety.

Just like what he said before about ants and elephants, it's not that he doesn't value China, but that he thinks this is just a trivial matter.

So many people die every day in China. Does it mean that the chief of America has to mourn every day?
If an important figure in China passes away, there is nothing wrong with mourning and mourning. This is the etiquette respect between countries.

But the so-called 'Father of Chips' was, in the final analysis, just a scientific researcher. Although the nature of his assassination was indeed a bit bad, he was still just a minor figure.

And it's not like they did it.

Bruce said that this is really a bargain.

Tritt on the side listened and sighed inwardly.

It’s not that he thinks Mr. Chief is dissatisfied with his old rival Mueller.

Verbal attitudes sometimes do not represent true attitudes.

On the contrary, he knew very well that the person Bush trusted most was Mueller.

That's why Bush's polite side was fully revealed in front of Mueller.

As for the intention of Bush's previous words to shirk the blame, he was very clear about it.

But there is nothing we can do. Who calls himself the person in charge of Xi Ai?
Xiaiai has always been unpopular with all the chiefs.

It can only be said that my seniors were too good at seeking death.

Mueller knew that Chief Bush was sometimes too direct and lacked some mature political skills, so he patiently explained,

"Mr. Chief, we need to give some goodwill to China appropriately. After all, we still have many places that need China's support.

If we lose China's cooperation, our actions will be even more difficult. "

There is no other way. A chief who has been on vacation for more than three years and one year, but has started two wars, does have a too direct brain circuit and needs to communicate more.

Thinking of this, Mueller shrugged, "You know, their weapons are very cheap..."

Bush understood this sentence clearly.

Mueller's subtext is that this will affect the collective interests of America's military-industrial complex, and by then there will be problems with his campaign funds and votes.

Tritt also echoed this proposal. He added sincerely: "Moreover, now that we are trapped in the quagmire of war in both Iraq and Central Asia, we very much need China's support on the international stage."

After all, China has just opened its doors not long ago.

Tritt continued, "At the same time, we can secretly express our concerns to China through some channels and offer our willingness to provide help, including intelligence sharing and technical support."

Chief Bush stood up and began to pace back and forth in the office, thinking about the suggestions of the two intelligence chiefs.

His steps were heavy, as if he was weighing the future of the country with every step he took.

But in his heart, he was constantly fussing, and he couldn't even take a vacation all day long!

Tritt elaborated further on his considerations. Mr. Chief, as our manufacturing industries in America shift, the center of gravity of the global economy and technology is changing. In this process, a new great power will surely rise, and the rabbit in the east, China, is the most likely candidate to become a new rising power. "He walked to the globe in the office, pointed to the Asian part, and continued.

"We must realize that the rise of China is both an opportunity and a challenge for us. They have a large population base and growing economic strength, and their technological and military capabilities are also constantly improving.

Therefore, we must hurry up and deal with the legacy of the old bear era and consolidate our leadership on the international stage before China truly rises.”

Tritt's tone became firm and serious, "We need a long-term strategy, not only to deal with the current crisis, but also to lay out the future of international relations.

This includes strengthening cooperation with China, while also being alert to the threats that their rapid development may bring. We should use our influence to promote the formulation of international rules and ensure that these rules reflect our interests and values. "

Chief Bush listened to Tritt's words and realized the seriousness and urgency of the matter. He asked,
"So, Mr. Treat, what exactly do you think we should do?"

Trit thought for a while and then said, "First of all, we should strengthen cooperation with China in the economic and technological fields. Our strategic focus should be to guide China to join and integrate into the global industrial chain and ensure that it becomes a leading player in this chain. It is a link instead of forming an independent system spontaneously.

In this way, we can indirectly influence and shape China's comprehensive development direction through our influence as the main country in the global industrial chain. "

He paused and emphasized his tone, "During this process, we can take some strategic measures.

For example, in the semiconductor field that we are very concerned about, we can transfer some interests and even provide some technologies that are about to be eliminated as a bargaining chip for cooperation.

The purpose of this is to make China dependent on us in these fields and on us for drugs. At critical moments, we can exert influence on key nodes in the industrial chain to safeguard our strategic interests and technological leadership. . "

Tritt's suggestion was recognized by Chief Buch, who nodded and said, "Mr. Tritt, this is a long-term strategy. We need to seek control in cooperation and find balance in transfer. This can ensure that we interests and avoid direct conflicts.”

Mueller also added his opinion, "Mr. Chief, in addition, we should also strengthen the formulation and implementation of international rules so that China can enjoy the benefits brought by the global industrial chain while also abiding by the rules and regulations we advocate. values.

In this way, we can more effectively guide China's behavior to conform to the expectations of the international community. "

Faced with the proposals from the two intelligence chiefs, Chief Bush fell into deep thought.

He pointed out worriedly, “Gentlemen, if we allow China to join the global industrial chain, will they...for example, in the semiconductor industry, will China make a breakthrough in semiconductor technology and eventually surpass us?
In other words, other chemical reactions will occur. After all, according to your report, Sakura's semiconductors will also benefit from this. By then, both parties will be uncontrollable factors. "

Muller pointed to the analysis report just now and explained to Chief Bush, "Mr. Chief, the death of Mr. Lin Benjian has inevitably delayed the cooperation project between ASML and YMC.

According to our latest intelligence, Nikon’s dry lithography technology will also achieve a breakthrough. Technical experts believe that in the future, the re-emergence of our little brother's semiconductor industry is inevitable. "

Trit nodded, "Sir, we can intensify the competition between the two countries at the appropriate time and in the appropriate way, so that they can check and balance each other in the leadership of the semiconductor industry. In this way, we can sit back and take advantage of The profit of the fisherman.

After all, a hunting dog must have the consciousness of a hunting dog. If it does not want to chase and bite prey, then the hunting dog has no value in existence. "

Chief Bush smiled, "Gentlemen, I have to say, this is really a wonderful strategy."

After the three of them laughed, Bush paced slowly in the office with his hands behind his back, carefully weighing the pros and cons.

Mueller further elaborated on his strategy, "We can ensure that China relies on us in semiconductor technology by controlling the output of core technologies.

At the same time, we can encourage China to develop in the mid- to low-end semiconductor market, which can not only meet their economic growth needs, but also prevent them from becoming our competitors in the high-end market. "

Tritt nodded in agreement and added: "In addition, we can also ensure that China's behavior in the international market is in our interests through bilateral and multilateral trade agreements. We can set some clauses in these agreements, such as requirements China has made commitments in technology transfer and intellectual property protection.”

Chief Bush listened to the explanations of the two intelligence chiefs and gradually understood their strategy.

After a while, he stopped and sat back in his chair, the expression on his face becoming relaxed and confident.

“I understand,” Chief Bush said at last, “we need to find a balance between cooperation and competition, both to rebalance the Asia-Pacific region and to ensure that they do not become a threat to us.

Jesse, go and notify..."

As soon as Chief Bush finished speaking, the door of the office closed gently, and Jesse's figure trotted away and disappeared outside the door.

He turned back to Mueller and Tritt, the confidence on his face gradually giving way to an eagerness.

"Gentlemen," Bush cleared his throat, with a hint of unusual eagerness in his voice, "I need about half an hour to clarify my thoughts before dealing with these international events."

The newly appointed affairs officer is a newbie after all, so it will take a little longer.

Tritt and Mueller exchanged glances, each reading a hint of understanding in the other's eyes.

Mueller nodded solemnly, "Yes, Mr. Chief, please rest assured that we at Ferbole will create an absolutely quiet and undisturbed environment for you."

The point is, avoid a tigress.

Trit coughed lightly, "I will inform Miss Jesse later. Maybe you have any details that you need to discuss with her."
