Game within game: chess player

Just when Ye Fang and Jin Sanpang landed at Tokyo Haneda Airport, an extremely private meeting was taking place on the other side of the ocean in a dense forest castle in New Jersey, USA.

There were only 20 people attending the meeting, each wearing a black cloak covering their whole body, leaving only a pair of eyes and a mouth exposed. Although the identity and appearance of each person cannot be distinguished, each person wears a special badge jewelry on their chest.

One is an elephant and the other is a donkey.

Ten people wore elephant badges, and ten people wore donkey badges. They were clearly differentiated. They all sat together at a round table and had a meeting. This meeting has lasted for three full days, and today is the last day. One of the topics of the meeting was cooperation and development under rotating governance, and the other topic was the U.S. dollar and the world in the next 20 years.

Meetings like today have only been held twice in the history of the United States. The first meeting was during World War II around 1945. This meeting determined the distribution of U.S. interests after World War II and the leadership of the new world order. Way.

The second meeting was held in the late 70s. This meeting determined the model for the United States to intervene in the management of various countries around the world through war and economic means. Almost every such meeting determines the strategic direction of the United States’ foreign policy in the next 20 years and sets a basic tone. Then fine-tune it as you go.

The third meeting was held 20 years later, after the world entered the new millennium, under the background of how the world structure will develop in the future and how the United States will deal with potential competitors. There is no doubt that this meeting will influence the development strategy of the United States in the next 20 years. What needs special attention is that this meeting specifically includes dealing with China and Russia. This meeting will comprehensively sort out the issues facing these two superpowers. Strategic relationship model, including economic, military, diplomatic and other ways.

Regarding Russia, the two groups of elephants and donkeys participating in this meeting agreed, that is, to erode Russia's influence and further dismember Russia. Under this grand strategic intention, the meeting formulated as many as thirteen plans to fully deduce what will happen in the next 20 years. The blueprint for the development of relations between the United States and Russia is even more detailed year by month, which is not inaccurate enough.

In the 20-year policy deduction, the political and economic game between countries was simply more exciting than the movies. The last topic of the meeting was aimed at that big Eastern country, and the two groups participating in the meeting had fierce differences. .

"The East is an emerging power with countless market potentials. It should vigorously develop economic and trade relations and let the East play according to the rules of the game set by the United States. Only in this way can the United States obtain the greatest economic benefits." This was the unanimous opinion of the participants wearing the donkey logo. .

"No! The East is a sleeping dragon. Once it wakes up, the entire world order will be shaken. We must restrict its development, slow down the pace of its awakening, or even let it sleep forever. We can do this from the development of science and technology and all aspects of the world environment. Suppress the East, even using force when necessary!" The person wearing the elephant badge objected.

Judging from the political opinions of the two groups, the Donkey side advocates economic cooperation, but the premise of such cooperation is that the economic order established by the United States must be observed, while the Elephant side advocates suppressing the East, hoping to delay its rise through multiple restrictions. At the time of its rise, it even hesitated to set up various fetters on the road of development, even including the option of war to take advantage of the situation.

The meeting lasted all day. Finally, the door of the conference room opened, and a man in a golden cloak slowly walked into the venue and stood on the rostrum. Twenty participants in the conference room stood up at the same time, showing Respect for the man in the golden cloak.

"I have read the minutes of the meeting, and they are good. The future of the United States will always be in the hands of the elite. In the next 20 years, the relationship between the United States and America, the United States and Europe, the United States and the Middle East, the United States and Asia, and the United States and China and Russia will be a great test for everyone here. Political wisdom. No matter who among you becomes the future President of the United States, the strategic intentions of this meeting must be implemented. Fine-tuning is allowed, but no changes are allowed. Whether it is an elephant or a donkey, fighting is allowed on the table, but not under the table. If you violate this principle, you should know what the consequences will be."

The golden cloak spoke in a very old voice, sounding sixty or seventy years old. Although he could not be seen, his words were full of absolute authority and unquestionable. All the 70 people in the audience bowed to receive the instruction, their faces full of absolute obedience and respect, and even some pride.

"Many years ago, like you, I participated in formulating the programmatic document for the future development order of the United States, and have been implementing this strategic plan to the present. Although there have been discordant notes such as Kennedy in the middle, fortunately we Adjustments were made in a timely manner and candidates were replaced in a timely manner. I may not be able to see the United States in 20 years, but you will definitely be able to see it. I hope everyone will strictly abide by the regulations within the meeting and implement them strictly!"

As the old man in the golden cloak finished speaking, someone in the audience asked, "The strategy between the United States and the East has not yet been finalized. How should we implement it?"

"The ancient East believed in Buddhism, and the principles of Buddhism were connected with political games at certain times. Today's opinions and differences are actually a result, which indicates that our relationship with the Eastern powers in the next 20 years is destined to be quarrels and disputes. We move forward amid differences, but one day we will meet each other halfway. However, the United States will always be the superpower of this planet, and this status will never change, because we have the most powerful military power and trillions of dollars in the world. The country must act under the world order established by the United States. This is America first! No country or individual can violate it!" The old man in a golden cloak on the stage shouted loudly with his hands raised.

The 20 people in the audience turned their right fists together, threw it high into the air, and shouted "America First! America First!"

There was a fanatical religious atmosphere in the entire conference room. The conspiracy theories of these top Western politicians did not affect the mood of Ye Fang and Jin Sanpang who arrived on the other side of the ocean thousands of miles away. They had just walked out of Haneda Airport. A motorcade had already parked outside.

There was already someone waiting in front of the car. After Nan Yi stepped forward to confirm his identity with the other party, he turned back to Ye Fang and said, "Get in the car."

"Let's go." Ye Fang patted Jin Sanpang on the shoulder and walked towards a Toyota black business van.

After getting in the car, Jin Sanpang looked at Ye Fang with envious eyes after the vehicle started, and said, "Nan Yi is really good! The arrangements are so thoughtful, I don't need to worry about it at all." Then Jin Sanpang turned back and said angrily to Park Zhengnan, " Looking at you again, I am embarrassed to say my identity, these should have been arranged by you in advance."

Pu Zhengnan looked troubled when he heard Jin Sanpang's words and said, "Mr. Zheng, we can't provide such services in Japan yet."

Ye Fang knew that due to the relationship between North Korea and neighboring Japan and South Korea, he really couldn't do whatever he wanted. Even if there were people who could infiltrate, they wouldn't be able to do it so blatantly. After all, there were only a few opponents worth guarding against for Japanese intelligence agencies.

"Okay, don't blame them. When you get to Japan, if you have mine, you will have them. You don't need to worry about all the arrangements. Nan Yi is here." Ye Fang said with a smile.

Nan Yi nodded slightly to Jin San Pang, and Jin San Pang said casually, "Nan Yi is good at everything, but he doesn't like to chat."

Ye Fang looked at the narrow streets of Japan and the Japanese girls passing by, and said with a smile, "It is said that there are many, many girls in Japan who can chat with you."

Jin Sanpang shook his head and said, "No, you can walk around without worrying so much. I have to be careful when I go out. This time I begged my father for a long time before he agreed and told me to keep a low profile."

"It's okay, I'll take you, just follow me. This is my first time in Japan. How can I live up to myself if I don't go out and see the outside world." Ye Fang said with a smile while looking at the colorful world outside the window.

The group did not enter the center of Tokyo, but came to a quiet village on the edge of the city called Ishihara Village. There is a manor in Shiyuan Village with an unusually beautiful environment. It looks ordinary from the outside, but it is extremely luxurious inside. This kind of luxury is not a luxury that can be seen through gold and jade at a glance, but is reflected in every detail, even a stone on the road can be seen to be carefully selected and paved.

There were already people waiting at the entrance of the manor. In the middle was a middle-aged man wearing a crisp suit, followed by two young people. The three of them looked respectful, and immediately greeted Ye Fang and his party when they saw them getting out of the car.

"Hello, Mr. Ye, my name is Shi Mingxuan. I am glad to serve you."

"Hello, Mr. Shi, thank you for your hard work!" Ye Fang shook hands with Shi Mingxuan.

Shi Mingxuan looked intently, as if Jin Sanpang and others behind Ye Fang were transparent people. Then he made a gesture of invitation to Ye Fang and said, "Mr. Ye, please!"

Then Ye Fang entered the manor under the guidance of Shi Mingxuan. To be called a manor in Japan must be huge. In Japan, a place where land is precious, such a manor covering an area of ​​dozens of acres cannot be described in terms of money. . According to Shi Mingxuan, this manor is actually a high-end club. It is usually only open to some of Japan's top chaebols and senior officials. It never receives ordinary tourists. In fact, ordinary tourists cannot find it here.

After learning that Ye Fang came to Japan, the entire club was immediately closed for repairs. There were no high-rise buildings in the entire club. They were all Japanese-style wooden houses built around mountains, rivers and lakes, with beautiful scenery. Under Shi Mingxuan's arrangement, accommodation was arranged for everyone. Jin Sanpang and his escort were in one garden, while Ye Fang, Nan Yi and Tiewei were in another yard. There was a verandah between the two yards. Connected, ensuring privacy.

Pu Zhengnan carefully inspected Jin Sanpang's room and the room structure of the entire yard, and immediately formulated a security plan. After the arrangement was completed, Pu Zhengnan said to Jin Sanpang, "Young Master, it seems inappropriate for us to come to Japan so hastily. After all, we have no respect for Ye Sir, I don’t know that much. Such a manor is definitely not something ordinary people can own in Japan, and I found that the outside of the yard is covered with security and monitoring equipment. I don’t know if it is aimed at us.”

Jin Sanpang glanced at Pu Zhengnan and said, "You are thinking too much."

"Yes, young master." Pu Zhengnan replied.

At this time, Kim Sam-pang's personal phone rang. On the other side of the phone was Kim Sam-pang's sister, Kim Yo-jung, who also went to school in Switzerland with Kim Sam-pang. Among the third generation of the Kim family, Kim San Pang and Kim Yo Jung have the best relationship. When Kim Yo-jung found out that Kim Sam Pang was actually living happily in Japan, he proposed that he also want to come to Japan. Kim Sam Pang couldn't help but agreed.

Jin Sanpang asked Pu Zhengnan to arrange for someone to pick up Kim Yo-jung at the airport tomorrow. After making arrangements, Jin Sanpang went to Ye Fang to discuss the future itinerary. Although Ye Fang did not tell Jin Sanpang why he came to Tokyo on the plane, Jin Sanpang intuitively told Jin Sanpang that Ye Fang had something very important to do when he came to Tokyo.

When they arrived at Ye Fang's yard, they saw no one, and the iron guard on duty didn't know where Ye Fang had gone. Jin Sanpang had to wait in the room with Pu Zhengnan.

At this time, Ye Fang and Nan Yi were taken to a secret room located more than ten meters underground in the manor. It was more like an underground fortress than a secret room, or it would be more appropriate to call this a command center.

Because this is where the Tokyo Command Center of Jiutian Asia Branch is located. Just as Ye Fang and Nan Yi were looking around, Shi Mingxuan walked into the conference room with six people.

"Shi Mingxuan, the head of Jiutian Tokyo Command Center, leads the team members to report to you!" These six people directly saluted Ye Fang with a military salute.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Ye Fang saluted.

Ye Fang shook hands with Shi Mingxuan and the six people behind him again. The six people behind Shi Mingxuan were the core members of the Tokyo branch command center. These six people had been living in Ishihara Village. The six people are responsible for various businesses in the Tokyo branch, including intelligence, economy, military, trade, humanistic environment and many other information collections about Japan. This is equivalent to a small government center independent of Japan, responsible for all valuable information in Japan. collection and organization work.

"I thought we couldn't wait until the day when the Tokyo branch was opened, but I didn't expect that day to come so soon." Shi Mingxuan and the six people behind him were extremely excited. Through understanding Ye Fang, he learned that this command center was established ten years ago and has been operating independently during these ten years. Of course, it seems to be in a dormant state in China.

Ye Fang looked at the wall and read the words "Obey the command and obey the call". The eight words expressed the difficult mood of hibernating branches in various places for nine days. The seven people in front of him have been deeply integrated into Japanese society, married Japanese women and had children. Despite this, they have never been Forget to listen to the call of the motherland at any time, and must obey the command once awakened.

No one told them how long they would sleep, and no one told them who would wake them up. Everything was waiting for instructions from their superiors. So when Nan Yi, as the intermediary liaison officer, sent a wake-up command to Shi Mingxuan, Shi Mingxuan seemed to be in a dream. Shi Mingxuan knew that once his superiors issued a wake-up order, it meant that the international situation had changed and some people began to become restless.

"May I ask what rank Mr. Ye holds in Jiutian?" Shi Mingxuan asked.

Ye Fang looked back at Nan Yi and asked with a smile, "What rank should I have?"

Nan Yi looked at Shi Mingxuan and said lightly, "Heaven Eye!"

When he heard Nan Yi say the word "eye of the sky", Shi Mingxuan was shocked. The seven people stood at attention again and saluted Ye Fang, saying in unison, "Hello, chief!"
