In the evening.
Washington Dulles International Airport.
As Lin Xuan's private plane, Sky One, was about to land, the five major institutions, including the Amelia State Council, the Special Task Force, the CIA, the Federal Police, and the National Guard, were all busy.
These five organizations would be responsible for Lin Xuan's safety and daily travel in Amelia.
Some people might ask why the State Council was in charge of receiving foreign leaders when they visited Yingjiang and not the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
It was very simple. The government of Amilijian could not control the state government. Everyone had their own business, and no one should interfere with the other.
The big government was responsible for controlling the general direction and foreign policy, while the state government was responsible for their own affairs. The governors could completely ignore the president, not give you face, or even fight with you.
Because of this system, the Yingjiang State Council had too little work to do and did not have to be responsible for local internal affairs. Therefore, Yingjiang did not have a special foreign affairs department. The State Council merged foreign affairs and some internal affairs, and its administrative head was the Secretary of State.
On the southern tarmac of Dulles International Airport, Old Deng was very polite. He was waiting with Vice President Karis, Secretary of State Abraham Lincoln, and Speaker of the House of Representatives Pellinsy.
Including Comrade Deng himself, there were two men and two women among the Yingjiang officials who came to welcome Lin Xuan.
"Mr. President, Lin Xuan is just a young man who has yet to achieve anything. Even if he is the king of Xia country, which of us is not a veteran of the political scene with outstanding achievements?”
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Palinsy, frowned. She didn't want to come, but she couldn't resist Old Deng's solemn request. Thus, she had no choice but to stand there and wait in the cold wind.
If Lin Xuan was an old man in his fifties or sixties, Pelincy naturally wouldn't complain. However, Lin Xuan was only twenty-two years old, so young that it made people jealous.
God! I can be your grandmother, but I have to wait for you to land in the cold wind. How can I feel comfortable?
"Lady Pelincy!"
The white-haired President turned around and looked at Pelincy.""Youngsters are more arrogant. Lin Xuan is the grandson of the royal family and the only descendant of the direct line. He has grown up in flattery since he was young. Anyone who sees him has to hold him up high. We naturally have to give him enough face.”
"If we can achieve our goal just by paying a little face, why not?”
"Xia Country's face?" Palinsy, who was known as Granny Pei, laughed coldly."In the face of absolute strength, what can China do? Could it be that Lin Xuan still dares to start a war with us?”
Seeing Pelincy berating the president, and considering that Mr. Deng was already in his seventies, Secretary of State Ellincon interjected,""Madam Speaker, the North Bear is currently at war with the Wu Country. Before we know the true strength of the North Bear, it is not appropriate for us to have a violent conflict with the Xia Country to prevent ourselves from falling into the quagmire of war.”
"The polar bear is strong on the outside but weak on the inside. I wonder what you've been worried about?”
Pelensy looked at the three of them and said,""Although the Bear Country has inherited most of the weapons and equipment of the former Su Xiong, under our year-round blockade, the Bear Country's economy has not improved at all.”
"Since the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, the total military expenditure of the polar bear over the years has been less than 1.4 trillion dollars, which is only 46.6 billion dollars per year.”
"Everyone, in the past 30 years, our total military expenditure has reached 16 trillion dollars, more than ten times that of the polar bear.”
After listening to Pelinsy's data comparison, the dark-skinned female Vice President and Senate President, Karis, said,""In terms of conventional forces, we have far surpassed the Bear Country. However, some Western European countries have stopped focusing on military development under our promotion.”
"If we are held back by the Xia Country, they won't be able to hold the Wu Country against the attack of the Bear Country with just the Western European Continent.”
"China has a small population and no potential for war. Unless there is a sudden technological change in China and the situation is reversed, our current priority is to weaken the Bear Country, the Western European countries, and the Dragon Country.”
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's not discuss this for now."
Old Deng clapped his hands and said," In a few minutes, the chartered plane of the new king of Xia Country will arrive. As the world's largest country, we need to leave a good impression on the new king.”
"There are no eternal enemies between countries, only eternal interests. Perhaps we can have a good talk with the new king and eventually become close allies.”
"Everyone, war is only a continuation of politics. If we can pull the Xia Country into our camp, the pressure on us in the Far East will be greatly reduced, and the Dragon Country will definitely be in trouble.”
Roping in China to become an ally?
Ellincon, Karis, and Pelincy were stunned, and their eyes gradually lit up.
Since the beginning of the New Era, Amilijian had always wanted to rope in China so that Korea, Japan, and China would form three island chains to firmly restrict the Dragon Country.
China's military strength was not comparable to that of Korea and Japan. Only the two countries combined could compete with China.
One plus one did not equal two, and two plus one did not equal three. Once the Xia Country became an ally, the Dragon Country's situation was needless to say.
However, it was a pity that Xia country was a local ruffian, similar to Turkey. They were capricious and would help whoever gave them more benefits. It was a headache.
Moreover, Xia Country often had both sides to their advantage.
"Mr. President."
At this time, Secretary of State Eleanor suggested,""China has extremely advanced nuclear technology. If it weren't for the joint restrictions of the major nuclear and non-nuclear countries, China would have possessed nuclear weapons long ago. The Dragon Country has already become a huge threat. Why don't we use nuclear weapons as bait and let China become our chess piece?”
Old Deng thought for a while and shook his head."China is not Korea or Japan. It's not that easy to control. When they have nuclear weapons and can talk to us on equal terms, what do you think they will do?”
Abraham smiled speechlessly and said no more.
It was obvious that even if America signed all kinds of agreements with China, once there was an equal dialogue device, China would definitely not abide by the agreement and would directly turn against them. What could they do then?
In the words of the previous king of Xia Country,""China is a democratic country, and this matter is not beneficial to the country. As the king of China, it's not that I don't keep my word, but the people don't agree.”
Every time they didn't admit it after the incident, they would directly push the blame to the citizens. Most importantly, the citizens of Xia country were very cooperative.
Looking at the major countries that had been scammed by China, everyone hated him to the core.
You're really a bastard! He was more thick-skinned than anyone else, playing with military dictatorship under the guise of democracy.
If Lin Xuan was here, he would say to the four of them,""As long as you are thick-skinned enough, you will definitely have enough to eat afterwards!”
