Chapter 925: Weighing (four / four)

White House.
President's office.
Since the FBI director Mueller entered, the president's office assistant sitting at the door of the office can hear from time to time that there is a furious voice from a man behind the door.
"What do you fools eat!"
Standing in front of the President, Chief Mueller held his breath, tremblingly admitting that he was wrong. "This is our failure ... we expected those people to act, but we didn't expect them to move so fast."
Although it is a pleasant thing to see the Chinese people suffer losses, the White House absolutely does not want to see this matter at this juncture.
Negotiations on the International Lunar Hadron Collider are still going on. They finally managed to draw a team of teammates through diplomatic means, preparing to pressure China on the budget committee, and winning the committees responsible for approving the budget. More authority to approve budgets.
But now, their plans have been completely disrupted.
Because the cyber attack incident broke out, not only did their allies cast a stunned eye on them, but it also caused many swaying neutral nations to doubt whether Americans really want to participate in this international project.
Maybe, they Yankees just want to mess up at this meeting? Didn't come with the idea of ​​cooperation at all?
Individuals have such doubts.
After all, China is a challenger to U.S. space hegemony, and the relationship between the two sides has not been harmonious ...
Just then, the phone on the desk rang.
The president took a deep breath and walked over, glanced at who called and pressed the speakerphone directly.
The call was connected and Carson's voice came over immediately.
"it's me."
President "I know it's you, hurry up and talk!"
Although it seems that the president's mood is not very good, such things are not convenient to ask.
With a trace of exhausted voice, Carson on the phone cleared his throat.
"Hua Guo is putting pressure on us. Those idiots. I drafted a night plan for the Budget Committee. Today I just took it out at the conference table and was thrown out by those Chinese people. The matter was blocked back. They are now determined to make this matter trivial and intend to get it to the negotiating table. "
Taking a deep breath, he continued with a stunned tone.
"This is all right. We are now at an absolute disadvantage at the negotiating table. Even the neutrals who have already fallen to us have expressed serious concerns about cyber security issues and new terrorism issues in our country. . "
The president couldn't help but ask, "You haven't argued with that group of Chinese people. Cyber ​​attacks and Hadron Colliders are two different things?"
"I said it, but they started planting us, saying that predatory eagles may be supported by the federal government, and that they have obtained some evidence, but just need further confirmation ..." Director Carson stopped here. After a moment, hesitantly said, "I by the way, wouldn't I ..."
Slightly hesitated, and after hearing the meaning of this sentence, the President flatly rejected "How is it possible! How can I approve such a stupid plan! Is it good for us to destroy the servers of several Chinese websites?" You said, Mu Mr. Le. "
Being stared at by the president with a murderous eye, Mueller quickly nodded "Of course! I will never let my hand go down to do such a stupid thing ... But just in case, I suggest we still call the cia person to ask Maybe they will. "
"Now is not the time to ask who is responsible," said Director Carson on the other side of the phone, with a pained eyebrow, and said in a weary tone. "The situation may not be good for us now. My suggestion is to ... Before, make the appropriate concessions. Otherwise, it is difficult to say whether they will reconsider and whether our participation is really so necessary ... "
There was an instant silence in the office.
As if a needle fell on the ground and could be heard clearly.
Is it necessary to participate ...
A bitter taste gradually emerged in the eyes of the president.
If someone said this to him ten years ago, he would definitely think that this person was joking with him, and laughed in cooperation.
There is no industrial chain in the world that can exist without the United States. A large-scale international scientific research project without any participation of more than fifty countries can be organized without the United States.
But now ...
Someone is actually thinking about how to euphemistically kick them out of the group?
This world must be crazy.
Silent for about ten minutes, the president walked to the chair behind his desk and sat down.
With his forefinger tapping gently on the table, he spoke in a weary voice.
"... Other conditions, you can relax as appropriate. The allies' demands are temporarily relaxed, but you must ensure that we have at least three full voting seats on the Budget Committee.
Regardless of whether the Chinese people really plan that way, he dares not to gamble.
It is true that China needs the United States, but it is now clear that the United States needs China more than that ...
Director Carson on the other side of the phone nodded and relieved.
"……I try my best."
After hanging up the phone, the President hit his fist on the table fiercely, not knowing who was cursing.
"A bunch of idiots!"
Looking at the tantrum president, Director Mueller held his breath and was afraid to speak.
Because of the disruption of the predatory eagle, the United States is now in a disadvantaged position throughout the negotiations.
If Russia can't stand firm on the negotiations of the Budget Committee, it will be almost inevitable to let the cunning Chinese take the upper hand ...
No, to be precise, the siberian bears must not stand firm.
As long as the Chinese people give them a little benefit, they will relax on this issue that concerns the vital interests of other cooperating countries. After all, they do n’t have much money, just to make a lively appearance ...
...
For Lu Zhou, what happened on the Internet was just an episode.
Regardless of whether the Predatory Eagle is supported by the White House, these trivial matters are not important at all.
The ultimate source of all the IPs that launched the attack originated from the United States. As long as they bite it, China will be invincible in this public opinion battle and obtain sufficient "compensation" in the negotiations on the Budget Committee. ".
Of course, the key issue is that this seminar was held in Beijing and the initiative has always been here with the Lunar Orbital Construction Committee.
Absolute strength is the guarantee of cooperation.
Otherwise, even if such a "misunderstanding" occurs, according to the habits of Americans, there is no chance that it will be taken seriously.
In these days, Lu Zhou is actively participating in the preparation of the Lunar Surface Hadron Collider Research Center, while helping Director Li to select the list of expert groups for technical feasibility demonstration.
When Lu Zhou really started to do this thing, Lu Zhou discovered that it was really difficult to avoid suspicion.
For software engineering, Jinling University itself is relatively strong among the top five universities ~ EbookFREE.me ~. There are two big bulls in the field of quantum computing, one is even an academician.
It would be a bit unfair for him to remove his name just to avoid suspicion, so after thinking twice, Lu Zhou wrote their names up.
As for the other experts, some from Yanda and some from Mizuki, a total of ten people, the lineup is fairly balanced, can be regarded as both rain and dew. Then, after the selection of Lu Zhou, he realized that he was unknowingly thinking about things outside of academics.
"People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes."
Lu Zhou shook her head silently, but secretly made up her mind. She will not take over such troubles next time, and then she sent this email to Director Li's mailbox.
Finally done!
After doing these things, Lu Zhou stretched his waist and was preparing to get some coffee.
But at this moment, an unread e-mail suddenly flew into his mailbox.
Seeing the name, Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly.
Professor Wu Tianqun?
Does this mean that Cao Cao Cao Cao is here?
Opening the email with curiosity, Lu Zhou glanced quickly.
As the saying goes, the shorter the word, the greater the amount of information.
There is only one sentence in the body of this email.
