At the same time, in Yinjiang City.

Fang Jianwei had already reported the news that the Japanese army in Shanghai was ready to move to Chongqing, so Zhong Yi had already reported it to Zhong Yi in advance, so Zhong Yi learned the news earlier than Principal Chang.

Zhong Yi drove to Jiangbei as soon as he learned the news.

At this time, Commode happened to be in the embassy in Jiangbei. Until now, Commode has served as the US ambassador to Yinjiang, so he has to stay in Yinjiang for at least ten days a month.

It can be seen from this that Commode still attaches great importance to Zhong Yi.

Otherwise, at this time, Commod should have avoided Zhong Yi.

But then again, it is natural that Commod should pay attention to Zhong Yi.

Because Commode also pointed out that Yinjiang Development Bank made a lot of money, and Yinfa Bank's expansion was inseparable from Zhong Yi.

After meeting, before Zhong Yi could speak, Kang Maode said, "Zhong, are you here for the Battle of Yinjiang? If so, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you anything. I'm really sorry."

In the first sentence, Commod blocked Zhong Yi's subsequent words.

It’s not that Commode doesn’t want to help Zhong Yi, but that he really doesn’t have the ability.

Still the same thing, in the United States, isolationism is political correctness, and no matter what goes against political correctness, even the president dares not do it!

In addition, the Japanese government has also hinted that the United States will ensure the governance of the Yinjiang Industrial Zone even if it captures Yinjiang, just as they guarantee the governance of the public concessions and the French concessions in Shanghai.

The implication is that the Japanese army will not take over the Yinjiang Industrial Zone.

Zhong Yi had actually expected this, but he was still a little angry when he heard Commode say it with his own ears.

This is the nature of the US government. Under the guidance of political correctness, even though they know that it is a wrong thing, they will do it with their heads and pay a heavy price for it.

For example, isolationism has seriously damaged the overseas interests of the United States, but under the influence of political correctness or so-called public opinion, no one dares to break this position.

However, Zhong Yi still refused to give up and said in a deep voice: "Commode, I think it is necessary to remind you that if the Japanese army really occupied the entire Yinjiang city and only retained the industrial zone, then the factories invested and built by you American merchants in Yinjiang will probably go bankrupt one after another because the product sales have been cut off."

"There is no way to do that," Commod shrugged and said, "Since it's an investment, even God can't guarantee that he will make money. Zhong, what do you think?"

Seeing Commod shrugging, Zhong Yi really wanted to slap them.

Zhong Yi can be said to be in a clear light on the position of Commod or the US government.

To put it bluntly, Kang Maode felt that Yinjiang was in danger of falling, so he decided to divide the eggs into two baskets. On the one hand, he continued to cooperate with Zhong Yi's Yinjiang Municipal Government, and on the other hand, he also began to show kindness to the Japanese government and release a certain kindness. In this way, if the Japanese army really occupied Yinjiang, the interests of the United States would be guaranteed to the maximum extent.

In other words, Commod and the US government actually want to balance and get along with each other.

Thinking of this, Zhong Yi was a little angry and said in a deep voice: "Commod, it seems that your family does not want to continue publishing the stories behind Harry Potter and the Songs of Ice and Fire."

"No, no, no, Zhong, you can't do this." Commod immediately became anxious and said repeatedly, "You have signed an agreement with us about Harry Potter and the Song of Ice and Fire."

Zhong Yi said: "It is the first thing your family did not abide by the cooperation agreement."

"How could it be?" Commod, "We have been following the agreement. After Congress made the decision, even my second grandfather came forward in person to lobby the senators, but you know, it is not enough to change anything. Our Commod family still lacks the right to speak in the political field."

Zhong Yi said: "But don't tell me, you can't even convince a senator!"

"Of course this is not." Commod smiled bitterly, "But, what's the use of a senator? The sound he made cannot represent the US government at all, and the Japanese wouldn't care at all."

Zhong Yi said: "But what if this senator is McConaughey?"

"McConaughey?" Commod frowned, "This guy is preparing to run for the next president. In order to win voters, he will never do anything out of the box."

"There are many kinds of voters," Zhong Yi said. "At this time, McConaughey made a tough voice, warning the Japanese government to ensure the safety of American citizens overseas. Isn't it better to win the hearts of the people?"

Commod's eyes lit up and he said, "Hey, it seems to be true."

...

It was already early in the morning in Connecticut, the United States.

After handling the matter at hand, McConaughey was about to go to bed, the housekeeper suddenly came in and reported: "Sir, Mr. Conmod said he had an urgent matter to ask for advice."

"Old Mr. Conmod?" McConaughey's expression subsided when he heard this.

Old Commod is a famous Connecticut political broker. McConaughey was elected as a Connecticut Senator, which is closely related to the support of the Commod family. More importantly, if McConaughey wants to go further and run for president, he must obtain greater support from the Commod family.

McConaughey said at the moment: "Please come in with Mr. Conmod."

The housekeeper agreed and turned around and McConaughey quickly changed his clothes.

When McConaughey changed into formal clothes and came to the living room of the manor, Old Commod was already waiting there.

Old Commod is over 80 years old and has aged face, as if he may die at any time, but McConaughey knows that there is a powerful soul hidden in this guy's body.

In Connecticut, no one dared to underestimate the old Commod.

McConaughey quickly stepped forward and gave Old Commod a warm hug.

After a simple greeting, Old Conmod said directly: "McConaughey, how likely do you think you have to win?"

McConaughey shrugged and said with a wry smile: "I think I may not win even less than one percent."

"In this case, you might as well find another way to win some marginal voters outside the mainstream public opinion, so that at least it can keep you to the last round. The president may not have much hope, but the secretary of state still has a chance."

McConaughey's eyes immediately lit up. If he could become Secretary of State, it would be completely acceptable.
