After hearing Du Fei's words, Cui Xi was stunned for a moment.
Du Fei was keenly observant and stared at her. He originally asked casually, but Trish's reaction made him right.
Tracy quickly recovered and shrugged: "It's not really a trouble, it's just those people."
Du Fei knew about the grudge between his family and Rockefeller, and Tracy didn't hide it.
Du Fei's heart suddenly moved, and he thought of Ge Ge, who came this time, instead of being a confidant of the current Commander-in-Chief Ford.
Very intriguing.
But there was no time to think about it. Trish came with a mission this time. He didn't waste any time and got to the point quickly.
"Du, regarding Mr. Ji Xinge's visit this time... I hope you can try your best to use your influence to achieve some results."
Du Fei frowned, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Join the Bei Yue?"
Cui Xi knew that this matter was not trivial and it was not Du Fei's decision. He explained: "As long as there are some constructive results, it is enough. You should understand what I mean."
Having said this, Du Fei was sixty percent sure that Nico was responsible for this incident.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be Ji Xinge and Tracy.
On the other hand, it also shows that Rockefeller is putting increasing pressure on Nico, otherwise Nico would not have rashly resorted to such means to fight back.
However, in Du Fei's view, it was simply impossible to promote the joining.
Just like what he said to Natasha, joining would not do any good to Huaguo, but would cause more trouble.
But you can't say this to Trish.
Du Fei pondered for a moment and said: "Tracy, we are friends and allies with the same interests. I can't deceive you about this matter."
Trish couldn't help but feel her heart sink when she heard this.
Du Fei continued: "As for the plan you proposed, to be honest, I am not optimistic about it."
Trish opened her mouth to argue, but Du Fei raised his hand to stop him: "Listen to me first. What is NATO? It's the North Atlantic. It's hundreds of thousands of miles away from here. How do you want me to join? Besides, we have joined, Yingguo
, how to place France’s position? There are also a lot of mutual guarantee clauses... If you ask me, instead of talking about NATO blindly, it is better to start a new one. Our two countries build a new one in the Western Pacific and bring in the fruit players in the region to form a new alliance.
A safeguard mechanism.”
Cui Xi frowned, while listening to Du Fei's boasting, while thinking about the feasibility of it.
Although Tracy was young, she had a lot of experience in political governance, and she immediately realized that there was a trap in Du Fei's words.
‘North’ and ‘China’ are tit for tat, and the treaty has a fairly strict mechanism against the Soviet Union.
If you join, you must abide by these rules and mechanisms.
But according to Du Fei, when setting up a new one in the Pacific, how to set up rules and how to determine the mechanism is not something America can just say. It must be discussed and discussed, otherwise it will not work.
In this process, the new mechanism established will inevitably be unable to restrain the flowers and fruits, let alone complete their plan of driving away tigers and devouring wolves.
Having said that, if it is determined that NATO's plan is impossible, this may not be a second-best solution.
Moreover, from the standpoint of the Nico family, it doesn't matter whether things work out or not in the end.
What they want is public attention, recognition of the political legacy left by Nico's eight-year term, and a powerful response to Rockefeller's doubts and suppression.
Trish's mind raced, analyzing the pros and cons of Du Fei's proposal.
If Du Fei's proposal is followed, it will undoubtedly make this matter much more feasible. Although it is still very difficult, it is not completely impossible.
Correspondingly, in fact, no matter how noisy it is to join NATO, no one really thinks that it will become a reality.
On the contrary, establishing a security mechanism covering the Western Pacific will become a more credible "point" worthy of publicity.
What's more important is the attitude of Ford's commander-in-chief.
As a mature political figure, Ford cannot naively believe that there is a possibility of success if NATO is used only to make a fuss.
We must adopt a negative attitude towards this matter. Ford currently has this attitude: no objection, no activeness, and limited cooperation.
But if a new mechanism was established as proposed by Du Fei, the situation would completely change.
If it can really be done, this will become a positive achievement for Ford, which is exactly what Ford has tried its best to pursue.
If the name is changed, Ford will definitely not be able to cope with the problem like it is now.
…
About half an hour later, Du Fei came out of Trish's room and was about to take the elevator downstairs.
But in the corridor next to the elevator, I saw Natasha wearing thick pajamas and her wet hair wrapped in a towel. She had obviously just taken a shower.
If you show up here wearing this outfit, you definitely don't want to hang out.
Du Fei knew that Natasha was here to wait for him.
Placing Tracy here is not a secret, and Du Fei has no intention of hiding it.
"Waiting for me?" Du Fei walked over with a smile.
Natasha rolled her eyes, curled her lips and said, "After staying here for so long, is that American woman prettier than me?"
As he spoke, he smoothed the hair hanging down by his ears.
Du Fei couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't do this. Whether you are beautiful or not has nothing to do with me. It's like we have nothing to do with each other."
Natasha snorted lightly, but didn't say anything else. Instead, she asked, "Is that what she did for that too?"
Du Fei had no need to hide: "Otherwise, I still have the same attitude. It is impossible to join. You don't need to worry about this."
Natasha was noncommittal. She could only believe three things about this statement. She knew Du Fei very well over the years. If America was willing to give him a favor, Du Fei could do anything.
What's more, from the Guo family's point of view, there is no trust between Suhua and Suhua, but it is just a little less tense than before.
It's like fighting a wolf with a straw. Only then can both sides take a step back.
Du Fei could guess her thoughts and said with a smile: "Natasha, actually you don't have to stare at me. Your relationship with us in the future does not depend on one or two things, but on the balance of power, and
Do we respect each other?"
Natasha frowned slightly.
Du Fei was simply more open and honest: "From a historical perspective, you, the Soviet Union, including Tsarist Russia, have never known how to respect the weak. Therefore, if you want to gain your respect, you must become stronger."
Natasha was silent but did not refute. She knew in her heart that Du Fei was right.
Du Fei continued: "So our problem is whether we are strong enough. Originally we were not strong enough, so our relationship was not good. Now... our strength has won your attention, and the relationship has begun to ease. But you also have
The problem is, you know how to respect the strong, but you don’t know how to get along with the strong.”
Natasha was a little disapproving.
Du Fei said: "Don't refute. You always take it for granted that the threat comes from the outside and are used to setting an enemy in advance. But in fact, with Sulian's current strength, the threat is not external at all. It is no exaggeration to say that with super power
With Mushroom's speed connection, even if aliens come, they may not be able to do anything to you."
Natasha suddenly felt the sound in Du Fei's words.
Du Fei continued: "So, Comrade Natasha, please be more confident. In my opinion, even if the whole world joins forces, it will not threaten your survival. There is no need for you to stare at the outside, whether it is us or Ami
Lika, you don’t even have the ability. If you have the energy, you might as well get your own affairs done.”
Although what Du Fei said was very pertinent, it was all false to Natasha. She said solemnly: "What you said is beyond my control. I just want to know your true attitude now, otherwise I won't be able to explain it when I go back."
.”
Du Fei raised his eyebrows: "What is your true attitude? Will you form an alliance?"
Natasha nodded, this was what she cared about.
Du Fei spread his hands and said helplessly: "In America's system, there is no room for another ally that he cannot completely suppress. Just like Britain and France, if they did not give up their colonies, they would be excluded from NATO.
Besides, let alone us. Just look at it~ This matter is a publicity drama from beginning to end, and it will definitely go to nothing in the end."
…
After dealing with Natasha and Tracy for a few days, the two women went back one after another.
The situation was just as Du Fei expected, version 0 was quickly launched after Trish left.
The concept of the Pacific Rim Alliance began to be hyped, but in fact it was just a different name for NATO.
In comparison, Mosco's response was relatively lukewarm. Apart from expressing some concerns at the beginning, there was soon no movement.
We are still deploying troops in Afghanistan step by step, and at the same time, we are increasing our efforts to deal with the less obedient local factions in Central Asia.
In America, public opinion continued to ferment. Especially after the concept of the Pacific Rim Alliance emerged, the media immediately followed up and began to promote Nico.
It was precisely because of Nico's ice-breaking back then that the foundation for today's situation was laid.
It is precisely because Nico broke the shackles that America was left with a war-free Pacific.
because……
In an instant, the previous voices that questioned and denied Nico Masaharu's legacy were completely suppressed.
In the northern suburbs of Tiaoyao, inside the huge log house in Rockefeller Manor.
Several core members of the Rockefeller family gathered here.
These big shots in the economic and financial fields don't look very good at this time.
The leader, the old man, was sitting behind the big desk, holding a cigar between his fingers. There was a sickly paleness on his old, wrinkled face.
Half a month ago, I was admitted to the hospital due to cerebral infarction.
Fortunately, the situation was not too serious, and the rescue was timely, coupled with the power of money, there were no sequelae, but the physical strength and energy were not as good as before.
The old man took a puff of his cigar, feeling a little helpless.
In terms of absolute strength, Locke Feile is undoubtedly more powerful than Nico who resigned.
But when it comes to how to use power within the rules, they are undoubtedly weaker.
Nicol is indeed one of the most powerful leaders after Roosevelt.
I thought I was a sure winner this time, but I didn't expect that I would be defeated by Nico in the end, which actually strengthened Nico's historical status.
Even for this opportunity, they reached some secret agreements with the incumbent Ford through secret channels and paid a huge price.
However, with the birth of the "Pacific Rim Alliance", Ford immediately changed its attitude.
Faced with this situation, even someone as strong as Rockefeller can only pinch his nose and admit it.
The old man was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Stop it~ The time is not ripe now, we underestimated him after all."
Several people present responded with silence.
This time they not only wanted to stab Nico, but also had a series of back-up plans.
As long as the first step is successful and Nico's golden body is destroyed through public opinion, only then can he be completely pushed into the mud with subsequent insults.
Unfortunately, if the first step fails, there will be no follow-up.
…
It's the end of December in the blink of an eye.
In a few days it will be 1980.
After more than a month, the popularity of the Pacific Rim Alliance also dropped. As for the benefits promised by America, naturally there was no follow-up.
It seems that the commotion in front is just a big drama.
Logically, the impact of this drama should last for a while, but it was unexpectedly replaced by another incident.
Just two days ago, news suddenly broke out in Seoul, South Korea, that the current Park Jung-seo was assassinated.
The assassination of such a leader instantly made headlines around the world.
Du Fei heard about it yesterday. South Korea is still blocking the news, but after confirmation from our comrades there, Park has been confirmed to have died.
In fact, during the recent period, Du Fei felt as if he had forgotten something.
Now I remembered it all, it was exactly this.
It's just that in the world before Du Fei traveled through time, Park's assassination should have occurred more than a month in advance.
This time, it was probably because of the presence of Du Fei that it had some influence and created interference factors, which was why it was delayed.
But as far as Du Fei is concerned, whether this happens in advance or postponed has little impact.
Even with the current strength and size of Huaguo, Park's life and death will not affect the overall situation at all.
However, a small incident in Du Fei caused a huge disturbance in South Korea.
…
That night, Du Fei came home and unexpectedly saw Zhu's father sitting at home early.
"Dad? You came back so early today~" Du Fei hung up his down jacket and went to the bathroom next to him to wash his hands.
Dad Zhu said with a smile: "I have a day off today."
Du Fei didn't elaborate when he heard it, so he didn't ask any more questions. He must have something to do.
At this time, Zhu Ting poked her head out of the kitchen: "Xiao Fei, come and help!"
Du Fei hurriedly responded and entered the kitchen.
Zhu Ting was the only one in the kitchen today. Du Fei put on his apron and asked, "Hey? Where is our mother~"
Zhu Ting was cooking next to the stove, rolled her eyes at him and said, "I can't cook a meal by myself~"
Du Fei chuckled, went over and hugged Zhu Ting's waist from behind, and blew gently into her ear.
Zhu Ting shuddered, her face turned red instantly, she stamped her feet and said angrily: "Don't make trouble! Go and cut the potatoes for me."
Du Fei, however, was shameless and said with a smile: "Kiss me~"
Old couples just need to have some fun once in a while, otherwise they will become too dull after a long time.
Zhu Ting said "hate" on her lips but was happy in her heart. She turned around and kissed Du Fei on the face.
Du Fei was familiar with the road, and he reached in and groped along the hem of the sweater as if instinctively.
