Jiang Chen did not spend much time talking about the "US accession". When they were on the island, the two had already discussed the matter, and now they just put the content of the talks into concrete documents.

As a businessman, Trangpu still has a spirit of contract. He did not sit in the position of the president and turned his face to deny it. After confirming that the content of the treaty was the same as originally agreed, he quickly entered into an agreement. Signed his name.

According to the content of the agreement, the United States will fulfill its commitment within two months, submitting an application for membership in the Earth Defense Alliance and leaving the North Atlantic Convention without any conditions.

In fact, from the moment when the United States defeated, NATO has already survived. Relying on Britain and France (Germany has withdrawn), it is impossible to contend with the Earth Defense Alliance, especially after the Star Ring Trade has mastered the nuclear defense methods, the strategic balance between the two parties has long been out of balance.

Now the United States is "withdrawing from the group", but it has only fulfilled the expectations of the international community for the disintegration of NATO since this time.

"Now are you satisfied?" Trangpu put away one of the two agreements and looked at Jiang Chen. "I even suspect now that you have expected this day."

"I just thought about this possibility," Jiang Chen sipped his coffee and said slowly, "You should know that the Boston Consortium and I have always wanted John Kennedy of the Democratic Party. Pushed to the presidency, and you are the additional chip of Morgan and Rockefeller. They think you will just stubbornly start a new round of the Pacific Rim arms race with me, and this is in their best interests. I have thought about it this way. If I pay a certain price to reach an unexpected consensus in a diplomatic meeting that I would not have been optimistic about, I may be able to solve this problem once and for all. "

"And now it seems that I am right," Jiang Chen smiled faintly at this point. "The only thing I didn't expect was that they would start so fast that they would rush to do it on your way back." , As a result, Vargas of Northern Colombia misjudged the situation and provoked the war that should not have happened in advance. "

After listening to Jiang Chen ’s dictation of the causes and consequences, Trang opened his mouth and did not speak for a while. Although he had guessed that he had been involved in an air crash and Wall Street people could not get rid of the relationship, he did not expect that he was counted by both sides.

After a long time, he sighed slowly.

"Sure enough ... politics is really not for me. My daughter has also persuaded me not to visit this muddy water, but I thought I could do it ..."

“Actually, politics is very similar to running a business. The only difference is that politicians do n’t have a little contractual spirit, and they do n’t have to.” Jiang Chenwei smiled and said, “You should be glad, sit in front of you I am not a politician. "

"Can I ask the last question again?" Trangpu sighed softly.

"Of course." Jiang Chen nodded.

"You are so sure that they will deal with me because of those sugar cubes?" Trangpu continued, "If they did not deal with me, would you fulfill the sugar cube diplomatic agreement?"

"These are two questions. Then I will answer your first question first. As I said, I have only considered this possibility, and there are no absolutes in the world, both possibilities. There is. "Jiang Chenwei smiled." As for your second question, my answer is yes, I still have this spirit of contract. "

"Even if it makes you unprofitable?" Trangpu smiled, but with a little helplessness in his smile.

"Unprofitable is not enough, but the benefits you say are not the same as what I agree with," Putting down the coffee cup in his hand, Jiang Chen sighed gently, "The more I touch the sky , The more we can feel our insignificance. A century ago, we were still imagining what the inhabitants of the moon looked like, and today, a century later, we have inserted the flag on Mars. In your eyes, I may be On that day's negotiating table, a 'difficult concession' was made, but why don't you look forward, what can we get from this universe if we go hand in hand? "

"And if you really do this," Jiang Chen paused for a moment at this point, and continued, "Then you should not hard to find, compared to what we are about to get, the part I gave up Light as a feather. "

There was a long silence in the living room.

After a long time, Tranpo smiled and stood up from the sofa, straightening the collar. Facing Jiang Chen who also stood up, he extended his right hand.

"Anyway, you are a strong opponent."

"Correct it, it used to be," shaking Trang's hand, Jiang Chen smiled, "Now we are allies."

Although I did n’t get the answer I wanted, Trangpu was slightly relieved after leaving the Hilton.

If the man ’s eyes are no longer limited to this planet, then the worries in his mind seem to be superfluous. At least the people living in this land will not change anything because of the defeat. The soldiers of the Star Ring Trade will not ride on their heads all the time. After all, in the eyes of the man, this territory is already too small. There is a wider world waiting for him to conquer ...

Although the world is still there, I ca n’t see it from the perspective of Trang.

......

Even if there were long-term expectations, the international community has expressed considerable shock and regret for North America ’s withdrawal from the North Atlantic Treaty.

As the United States joins the Earth Defense Alliance and becomes the fifth major member of the alliance, everyone clearly realizes that the old era has come to an end, another new and great era is slowly pulling Kick off.

According to the treaty signed by the Earth Defense Alliance, major member countries will contribute 5-7% of GDP (secondary member countries contribute 3-4% of GDP) based on their territorial area and population weight, for the development of the aerospace industry.

Only from the data point of view, the proportion of the highest GDP of 7% seems to be a little too high, and NATO ’s requirements for the military expenditures of the member countries are only 2% of the national GDP. However, it should be noted that military expenditure itself is a burden. The money spent has no return other than cheap arms dealers and a small number of jobs. It can neither improve people's lives nor obtain return on investment.

But investment in the aerospace industry is different. Since the establishment of the space elevator, the aerospace industry has been given economic value in addition to a sense of national honor. Whether it is space mining or space industry, companies in various countries have obtained tangible benefits.

It is for this reason that not only have countries not resisted the GDP contribution stipulated in the treaty, many countries have consciously exceeded the target.

Now, the United States has also been tied to the Earth Defense Alliance ’s chariots. The original 50% Earth Defense Tax (compulsory levy on non-member space industries) was cancelled, and the cost of North American space companies also dropped significantly.

Although resentful of the defeat, California, Massachusetts and other regions with more developed aerospace industries seem to have become the biggest beneficiaries of the defeat of the United States.

Even in the current economic downturn in the United States, the space science and technology parks in San Francisco, Boston and other places are still in full swing. Companies large and small have sprung up like mushrooms, and various recruitment notices have spread to universities across the United States like snowflakes. With the introduction of the five-year tax relief policy for the aerospace industry issued by the US government, the North American aerospace industry has exploded with amazing vitality, and it has become the pillar industry of North American post-war economic recovery ...

As for the longer-term effects, only the future will be known.
