199: Chapter 199 A Plot to Kill with Praise! The most important thing is to obtain controlled nuclear fusion technology!

After a long while, Trump finally regained his composure. He looked at Director Smith beside him, and his anger flared up again instantly.

"Smith!!"

"You shitty Intelligence Agency director!!"

"Tell me, what exactly is going on!!"

"China has pulled off so many things; it certainly couldn't have been accomplished in a day or two. Why didn't you have even a shred of intelligence on this!?!"

Listening to this angry tirade, Director Smith was full of grievance, shouting injustice in his heart.

What did he mean by "no intelligence"? It wasn't as if he hadn't reported on China's relevant intelligence. For this intelligence, he had actually conducted itemized analysis reports and had submitted detailed written reports to President Trump on every single matter.

It's just that, you damn well didn't believe it! Not only did you not believe it, but you also berated the CIA, saying we were boosting China's morale and dampening our own...

Director Smith wanted to defend himself, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and said nothing. You are the leader, you are the big boss, I'll just take the blame, okay?...

Just then, Secretary of Defense Charles spoke up.

"Mr. Trump, please calm down!"

"Times have changed; China is no longer the sieve it used to be."

"After the assassination attempt on Professor Ai Chongfeng failed not long ago, China launched a major crackdown nationwide," Charles analyzed. "The major intelligence organizations of our Western Alliance have suffered heavy losses!"

"That's not all,"

"Take the recent large-scale comprehensive scientific research area they built; it has now been classified as China's highest-level confidential project!"

"We spent a huge price to finally squeeze dozens of people in!"

"Up to now, not only have we not obtained any intelligence, but we've also been followed back to the source, losing several high-level assets who had been hidden for a long time!"

"This shows!"

"They were long prepared to deal with all our measures!"

"China has been plotting against our hegemony for a long time!"

"If you want to blame someone, blame those damn insidious Chinese people!"

After listening to Charles, Trump's anger subsided slightly, and he understood the key point. He took a deep breath, looked at Charles and Smith, and said with extreme frustration.

"Can the two of you teach me how the CIA should respond to this situation?"

To this question, Charles was speechless.

Not long ago, they had taken the castrated version of the first-generation armor that China sold abroad, sacrificed over two hundred scientists, and only then managed to break through the anti-stealth radar technology.

How much time had passed since then? China actually announced directly that the first generation was obsolete and that they were now fully using the second generation. What's the point of playing this game anymore!

As the Secretary of Defense, Charles felt extremely powerless in the face of this predicament where their military equipment was being completely surpassed.

At this moment, Director Smith, who had been silent, spoke up.

"Mr. Trump, I have a plan."

Upon hearing this, Trump and Charles turned their gaze to Smith, expecting his follow-up.

Smith took a deep breath and said in a muffled voice.

"Although I really don't want to admit others' merits, there is one sentence I think is very correct."

"That is,"

"China's love for peace is the luckiest thing for humanity on Earth in the 21st century."

After saying this, seeing Trump's expression change instantly, Smith hurriedly continued.

"Mr. Trump!"

"I said this not to praise China, but to explain one thing!"

"This country, China, is very closed-off and extremely backward!"

"They once considered themselves the Celestial Empire, closing their doors and refusing to move forward!"

"This is also the root cause of China's plummet from a world power a hundred years ago!"

"If it weren't for the Chief Architect of China's development back then insisting on opening up, China would never have reached where it is today!"

"But!"

"This is the deep-seated flaw of Chinese culture, which simply cannot be changed!"

Smith paused and continued to analyze.

"Because of Chinese culture!"

"It lacks the bloody tradition of external plunder and only possesses the cultural gene of settling down and finding joy in peace!"

"This is the arrogance passed down through thousands of years in this so-called ancient civilization of China!"

"It is also the deep-seated flaw that their China can never erase!"

"But we all know!"

"Greed, indulgence, violence, deception, oppression..."

"All of these are the true nature of humanity!"

Having laid the groundwork, a glint flashed in Smith's eyes.

"So my plan is specifically designed based on the genetic flaws of Chinese culture!"

"The name of this strategy is,"

"Kill with flattery!"

Upon hearing this, Trump and Charles looked at each other and fell into deep thought.

Ten seconds later, Smith continued.

"Mr. Trump, I propose!"

"First!"

"Facing the situation where China Military Industry equipment is temporarily leading, we can simply ignore it!"

"Because I dare to assert that China will not fight, and they dare not fight!"

Smith sneered.

"China's founding principle is everything for the Chinese people!"

"Under the circumstance of having a lead in military technology, as long as we don't actively provoke China on the surface, and instead do the opposite by vigorously flattering China!"

"The Chinese leadership will absolutely not risk universal condemnation to actively start an aggressive war against others!"

"Not even a proxy war!"

"Because all levels of Chinese society would not agree to it!"

"Perhaps we can even easily obtain everything we need from China!"

Hearing this, Charles frowned.

"But Smith!"

"We don't have full confidence right now that we can surpass China in military technology in the short term..."

"If this drags on, we will truly lose our position of hegemony!"

Hearing this, Smith shook his head.

"Charles, you still haven't grasped the situation."

Charles: "I would like to hear the details."

Smith continued.

"Which of the latest technologies released by China this time do you think is the most critical?"

Charles thought for a moment and quickly replied:

"The second-generation Xuan Nu Aerospace Fighter?"

Smith laughed.

"Didn't I just say that we can completely ignore these military equipment of China..."

Hearing this, Trump, sitting in the presidential chair, suddenly realized, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he stood up instantly.

"It's Controlled Nuclear Fusion!"

Seeing that Trump finally understood his meaning, Smith was overjoyed.

"Mr. President, excellent insight!"

"That's right!"

"It is Controlled Nuclear Fusion!"

"Controlled Nuclear Fusion is also known as the artificial sun!"

"It is the cornerstone for us humans to start the Fourth Industrial Revolution!"

"And every industrial revolution will inevitably create huge productivity, causing earth-shaking changes in the social structure!"

"I highly suspect!"

"That the most critical reason China has been able to achieve so many breakthroughs in technology fields so rapidly!"

"Is because they have realized Controlled Nuclear Fusion!"

Smith looked at Trump and said firmly.

"As long as we can obtain Controlled Nuclear Fusion technology from China!"

"Then!"

"We will soon be able to close the gap and stand on the same starting line as China in the new era!"

"By then!"

"Relying on the decades of technical accumulation that our Western Alliance countries have over China,"

"We will inevitably be able to develop rapidly in all scientific and technological fields!"

Hearing this, Charles pondered for a moment, shook his head, and interjected.

"That's not right, that's not right..."

"Smith, are you so sure that we can obtain the Controlled Nuclear Fusion technology from the Chinese?"

Trump also frowned and asked.

"The Chinese have long been plotting this; how could they possibly announce it to us?"

To this, Smith smiled.

"That's not up to them!"

"Since they have announced the Controlled Nuclear Fusion technology, they must bear the public opinion pressure from all countries on Earth!"

"It concerns the progress and development of all humanity!"

"Of course, to avoid the Chinese leadership making some impulsive and stupid decisions."

"My strategy can perfectly circumvent this problem!"

"That is!"

"Elevate that Chinese Chief Designer of Controlled Nuclear Fusion to the supreme position of the global scientific research community!"

"Don't their Chinese scientists always fail to win the world's highest Science awards?"

"This time, let's be generous!"

"Let's take out the Nobel Prize, Fields Medal, Future Science Prize, and other world-top Science awards, and award them all to that Chief Designer from China!"

"Of course, before the award!"

"Feasibility verification of the relevant technology is also indispensable."

"Asking this Chief Designer to turn the relevant technology of Controlled Nuclear Fusion into scientific papers and publish them in authoritative academic journals like 'Nature' and 'Science'!"

"Is also only right and proper!"
