However, Bayp also wants to increase military investment, which is estimated to require nearly 10 billion US dollars, and this is only a small part of it.

If this negotiation fails, where can we find the funds? It is simply a fantasy!

It will be difficult to launch another military operation to continue attacking the base in a short period of time, and it may not be realistic even next year or the year after!

"minister……"

The secretary shouted quietly. After the two looked at each other for a few seconds, Tim understood what he meant and said:
"General Xu, we need to discuss the issue of chip technology again."

"Regarding the matters mentioned in Document No. 2, I cannot make a decision for the time being. I need to contact President Baip and then give you a definite reply."

Minister Tim's attitude softened somewhat. As he regained his composure, the atmosphere in the conference room was no longer as tense as before.

Of course, Mr. Xu and others were happy to see Minister Tim's concession. They hoped that the other party would agree to Document No. 2 immediately.

The money is ready. As long as they agree and sign the documents, they can immediately hand over the money and the technology!
Once the chip technology is mastered, Jiuzhou will be like a fish in water in this field. It can take this opportunity to seize market share and soar to the sky!
These are not dreams. Kyushu currently has a large gap in the chip field, and the number of imports each year is countless.

If we can master such a key technology, we can save more than just tens of billions...

Zhang Guo and Wang Bo could hardly conceal their inner joy, and the smiles in their eyes were very obvious.

However, they were glared at by Mr. Xu afterwards. They realized that their expressions were somewhat exposed, so they had to lower their heads and stare at the table.

Finally, it was Mr. Xu who spoke:

"Okay. Then let's end this morning's meeting here for now. Mr. Tim can consult your president later."

"The meeting will continue at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Just tell us the answer from the United States then."

Mr. Xu did not give Minister Tim much time to react, because the longer the time was delayed, the greater the variables would be.

No one knew if there would be any unexpected events that would disrupt this matter. To be on the safe side, Mr. Xu asked the United States to give an answer in the afternoon.

In other words, whether the negotiations are successful will be known at the afternoon meeting at the latest.

If successful, both parties can get what they want, killing two birds with one stone; if unsuccessful, the United States will immediately repay the money as agreed!
No matter what, it is a situation that is entirely beneficial to Kyushu Kingdom.

"Isn't this... a little too short?"

Minister Tim was a little confused. Such a short time was not enough for them to hold an emergency meeting.

In response, Zhang Guo smiled slightly and explained:
"Because the meetings every day from now on are very full. Not only the United States, Kyushu will also help Maple Leaf Country, UK Country and other countries..."

"The current funds are limited. The United States comes first. If it is delayed, we cannot guarantee that there will be enough funds to help the United States."

At this point, Minister Tim had no choice but to nod to show that he understood.

In any case, Tim was quite satisfied that the United States was scheduled to negotiate on the first day.

Having said that, even if Tim wanted to refuse, it would be of no avail. After all, the United States is the one seeking help and is already at a disadvantage.

Because he knew this, Tim didn't dwell on it too much. He nodded in agreement and left with his secretary.

He left in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to say hello. I don't know if he did it on purpose or if he really forgot, or maybe he was so angry that he didn't even care about etiquette and didn't want to say hello to the people of Kyushu.

Minister Tim's back looked furious as he left, and he was so impatient that he wanted to take two steps at a time. Soon, he disappeared.

The secretary followed Tim and left the meeting room quickly without wasting a second, as if there was something terrible in the meeting room.

A few minutes later, Wang Bo, Zhang Guo and Mr. Xu put away their previous serious attitudes and sat in a relatively casual manner.

Now that everyone in the meeting room is a family, there is no need to be so restrained. Just do whatever makes you feel comfortable.

If the atmosphere in the conference room was like ice and snow before, now it is like a warm summer day, harmonious and relaxed.

Wang Bo still had some concerns on his face. He felt that Minister Tim's performance just now might not make the negotiations successful.

"Mr. Xu, can Document No. 2 really succeed? Minister Tim's expression just now looked like he wanted to kill someone..."

"I understand that we rely heavily on the United States for chip technology, but is this request a bit excessive? The value of chips is not just reflected in numbers."

"The Americans are not stupid. Will they agree so easily?"

Wang Bo's mood was like a roller coaster during the whole process, fluctuating between joy and sorrow as Minister Tim's expression changed.

He was actually not very sure in his heart, so he felt very anxious. He felt very sorry if the negotiation failed.

Without access to chip technology, our country still has a long way to go and will always be under the control of chip producing countries.

In response, Mr. Xu just smiled and did not make any comment.

In comparison, Zhang Guoze seemed much more relaxed. He didn't think too much and his approach to considering problems was very direct.

"I think they are very likely to agree. After all, it is just chip technology and they have sold this technology before."

"This negotiation is an opportunity for both the United States and our country. They lack money and we lack technology. Cooperation will benefit both sides."

"And their financial situation is certainly not optimistic now. They simply cannot come up with so much money by the end of the year. If they delay further, the interest will double."

"To put it another way, even if we fail this time, we can still negotiate with other countries. In short, we will not lose money."

"It would be best if it succeeds. If not, we will just take our time. You have to trust our technicians. It's just a matter of time."

In comparison, Zhang Guo's mentality is indeed more open-minded, and his views coincide with those of Mr. Xu.

When Zhang Guo was analyzing, Mr. Xu listened very carefully and nodded frequently to show his agreement.

However, what Mr. Xu did not say was that he was very optimistic about this negotiation and if nothing unexpected happened, an agreement could be reached this afternoon.

Based on Mr. Xu's understanding of Baip, he will never give up attacking the base. That is why the United States urgently needs this money.

Just imagine, if they successfully capture the base, they will be able to obtain more advanced technology, which is by no means comparable to chip technology.

Therefore, Baip will never give up negotiations easily. On the contrary, he will invest heavily in the army after obtaining funds.

Therefore, Mr. Xu believed that this negotiation had a high probability of success. As for the small uncertainty, it came from Baip's mood swings and neurosis.

If this person gets angry, he or she may do anything, even refusing to negotiate at all costs, although this possibility is very small.

Mr. Xu did not tell Wang Bo and the others about these ideas, so as to prevent them from being overjoyed. It would be embarrassing if their hopes were dashed in the end.

So, he chose to remain silent.

However, what surprised Mr. Xu was that Zhang Guo could think so far, which was completely beyond his expectation. It was indeed not easy to look at the problem in this way, and his analysis was very reasonable. The most important thing was that he had a good mentality.

As the saying goes, a good attitude is the key to success. In comparison, Wang Bo seemed a little impatient and did not think deeply enough about the problem.

"You are so right, hahaha, you are amazing!"

Wang Bo praised Zhang Guo with a smile and quickly affirmed his point of view. He scratched his head embarrassedly, looking a little honest.

General Xu saw all of this and shook his head helplessly. Although Wang Bo had always been by his side, he was still a little lacking in skills.

the other side.

Minister Tim and his secretary quickly returned to their temporary residence in Nanjia Mansion. Without taking time to rest, they contacted President Baip immediately.

Regarding the issue of chip technology, it is indeed not something they can decide, and they must seek Beipu's opinion.

On the other end of the phone, Baip also turned down all official duties for the day and was waiting for news from Minister Tim.

Although he was not present in person, he was closely following the progress of the negotiations and asked his secretary to keep in touch at all times and report any changes immediately without concealing them.

Therefore, when Tim called, Baip was by the phone and answered the call immediately.

"President Baip, this is what happened..."

"..."

When mentioning the content of Document No. 1, Baip couldn't help but interrupt Tim.

"Isn't Jiuzhou too arrogant? How could they possibly offer such a high interest rate? What on earth are they thinking?"

“Is this what they call help at the United Nations Headquarters? Help us find a robber?”

"I don't agree. This document is simply robbery. Reject it immediately!"

Baip shouted loudly, and even through the phone, his excitement and anger could be felt.

Minister Tim could even imagine Baip banging his head on the table angrily while listening to the phone call.

He felt a little helpless. This was just Document No. 1, there was also Document No. 2.

If Baipu heard the contents of Document No. 2, he would probably explode in anger or turn into a roaring monster.

"We certainly didn't agree..."

Minister Tim explained and then continued.

"However, Jiuzhou State produced Document No. 2, saying that it can lend us 30 billion US dollars without interest, as long as we exchange it for chip technology..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Baipu's roar came over.

"What--!!!"

"Fuck, are you crazy? Can chip technology be given to people?"

"Chip technology is definitely not something that can be bought with just a few tens of billions of dollars. Let alone interest-free, we won't sell it even if it's 30 billion US dollars!"

"Reject, reject immediately. The United States has many partners. Even if Kyushu refuses to lend us money, we can still borrow money from other countries!"

"Jiuzhou is now a pirate ship. They are asking for too much and dare to ask for anything. There is no such good thing in the world!"

Baipu transformed into a roaring dragon, his voice was sharp and piercing, and the volume was so high that even if the speakerphone was not turned on, it seemed like the speakerphone was on.

Even the secretary nearby heard it clearly and couldn't help but interject.

"But, Lord Baipu, if I remember correctly, didn't you sell the chip technology to Maple Leaf Country for 10 billion US dollars?"

……

In response, Tim showed a look of horror. He didn't expect the secretary to say these words so bluntly. This was simply asking for trouble.

As expected, after hearing what the secretary said, Baipu was stunned for a moment, and then roared even more angrily.

"You idiot, how can that be the same?"

"Selling it to Maple Leaf Country for 10 billion U.S. dollars is already their limit, but they can sell it to anyone except Kyushu Country!"

"Jiuzhou is developing too fast. Sooner or later, it will overtake the United States. It will definitely be the biggest rival of the United States in the future. At this time, chip technology cannot be given to them!"

"Don't think about it, pack up and come back immediately, don't stay in that place anymore!"

President Baip ordered that he asked Minister Tim and his secretary to return immediately on a special plane without any delay.

However, Minister Tim's next words forced him to give up this idea.

"We all know this, but doesn't the United States still owe Kyushu a sum of money? They asked us to repay it within two weeks, a total of 15 billion including principal and interest..."

"Can the United States still come up with 15 billion given its current situation?"

Minister Tim said worriedly, his face full of sadness, this problem is simply a vicious circle.

The most important thing is - there is no money. The United States can’t even squeeze out money now, let alone repay its debts!

"..."

Baipu's anger was extinguished in an instant, just like a fierce flame was suddenly extinguished, without mercy!

Baipu had nothing to say about paying back the money.

This money was not borrowed by him at all, but was borrowed by the previous president Mario from Kyushu.

He didn't spend a penny of that money, but in order to gain Mario's support and to be elected president smoothly, he had to accept the loan.

Moreover, the repayment date for this loan is just around the corner.

The United States cannot even come up with this money right now, let alone pay it back to Kyushu. They haven't even repaid the money they borrowed from Japan a few years ago.

But they don't plan to pay it back for the time being. Hirata Momojiro will never take the initiative to mention repaying the debt, so Baipu has no pressure on this.

But the problem is that they owe Kyushu more than 10 billion, not Japan, which means they can't deny it at all!
The immediate financial allocation for the military has not yet been received. How can the United States pay back the money at this time? It’s a bullshit!
At this point, Baipu suddenly understood everything. All of this was a conspiracy by Kyushu Kingdom!
Even if the United Nations hadn't intervened, Kyushu would have definitely found a chance to show up. (End of this chapter)
