The structure of the right to govern in the United States is very interesting. Take the post of national security adviser, which was established in 1953. It does not belong to the traditional American administrative sequence, and the appointment does not need to be approved by the Senate.
As the think tank of the US president, the authority of the US national security adviser is invisible. The extent to which it can reach depends on the actual situation.
For example, kisinger won the trust of US President Nixon, so that he ranked ahead of US Secretary of state and US Secretary of defense.
During the cold war, there were two most famous secretaries of state in American politics. One was kisinger, who was more familiar with the mainland because of his secret visit to China before the ice breaking of Sino US relations, and the other was Brzezinski, a famous American scholar of international relations, geo strategist and diplomatic activist.
The difference between the two can be simply described as: kisinger is a doer, while Brzezinski is a theorist; In addition, kisinger partnered with Nixon, a strong man in the rule of law, and Brzezinski was an adviser to Carter, one of the weakest presidents in the United States during the cold war.
As for which is higher or lower, it should not be difficult to make your own judgment.
However, the background of these two people is actually related to the Rockefeller family, which can be regarded as a legend of this era.
Since US President Nixon's visit to China last year, China's diplomatic relations with Britain, Japan, West Germany and other countries have gradually been upgraded to the normalized ambassadorial level. However, the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States involves a wide range of aspects, and there is still a way to go.
To this end, the solution of both sides is that this year, the United States will set up a liaison office in China in the Chinese capital, and China will also set up institutions at similar levels in the United States.
In this way, the exchanges between the two sides, including economic, trade, academic and other fields, can be one step ahead.
In short, Xiangjiang in this period was indeed a very important transit station, and the lineup of the American Consulate General in Xiangjiang to welcome Ji Xinge was very large.
Gao Xian stood with the heads of Citibank, Boeing and other branches in Hong Kong. When shaking hands with kisinger, the other party was quite surprised and joked: "David, do you want to see me in advance?"
"Indeed, one day's absence is like three autumn days." Gao Xian smiled and introduced Yi Huirong, "my fiancee, Weiwei Anyi."
It was a busy time here before it was the turn of the Deputy Secretary for administration, Luo Lemin, to lead the Hong Kong government and his party to get together.
Among them, many people look at Gao Xian with complicated eyes. This young man really can't hold it!
……
Ji Xinge's itinerary in Xiangjiang has long been scheduled. He will go to the governor's office to have a chat with governor Mai Lihao for dinner, and then attend the American business banquet in Xiangjiang.
It can be said that even in the Hilton Hotel where he stayed, the activities of kisinger were public, with reporters shooting records on the side; It was not until I entered Yongren hall, the headquarters of Xiangjiang Freemasonry, that I was clean.
Through this gap, Gao Xian and Ji Xinge chatted.
"I heard that David has mastered a first-class Xiangjiang enterprise group and the best Xiangjiang investment institution, which is really admirable!" Ji Xinge first sighed.
At this time, this scene is not suitable for modesty. Therefore, Gao Xian talks about the way to success: "this achievement mainly benefits from the accurate grasp of the current situation."
"Indeed, no matter in politics or business, we can't do without our unique insight into the current situation." kisinger nodded deeply. "I still remember David Rockefeller's views on the future of the Bretton Woods system when he came to Xiangjiang to preside over the international investment conference. Looking back, they have almost been verified."
This time Gao Xian changed it to be modest and said, "I believe many financial experts in the United States have seen this, but I don't have any burden of academic achievement and dare to speak frankly."
Kisinger asked with interest, "this opportunity for easy chatting is very rare. I don't know if I'm lucky to hear David's other wise opinions with my own ears?"
"Well, you don't have to use your brains to guide the topic." Gao Xian, who smiled in his heart, pretended to think about it, and then slowly said, "let's talk about an international hot issue that may greatly affect commercial activities. I think there is a great possibility of a fourth war in the Middle East this year."
Kisinger put down the cup that had been sent to his mouth and said with a smile, "David's point of view is still so shocking."
According to his own thinking, Gao Xian continued: "looking back from today, the six day war in 1967 can be called a historical turning point in the Arab Israeli conflict in the Middle East."
"The Arab side was completely defeated by Israel. Egypt lost the Gaza Strip and Sinai Peninsula, Jordan lost the West Bank and the old city of Jerusalem, and Syria lost the Golan Heights. It can be described as a heavy blow."
"These losses are so great that they have become unbearable pain for Egypt and Syria who are interested in becoming a regional power."
"But in the face of reality, there is only compromise." Kissinger shrugged. "In the past few years after the end of the six day war, Israel has built many Fortifications on the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights. In particular, the year before last, Israel spent $500 million to build a huge fortress system in the Suez Canal, the barev line, to contain Egypt's military operations."
"Moreover, it is difficult to form a unified will for war within the Arab side. For example, Jordan and Syria are not at peace, and Iraq and Syria are also tense."
"I think these mandatory binding forces can not prevent the war from happening again, but will only deepen the accumulated resentment." Gao Xian shook his head. "Egyptian President Sadat and Syrian President Assad are leaders with military background. In their eyes, war is only necessary and unnecessary."
"At present, Egypt and Syria are big countries with leading positions on the Arab side. As long as they act, other Arab countries will follow."
"In particular, Egyptian President Sadat has an urgent need to launch a war to alleviate various contradictions in Egypt."
"In the public media reports I collected, last year, Egyptian President Sadat publicly declared that Egypt would go to war with Israel and was ready to sacrifice one million soldiers."
"In an interview with us Newsweek this year, Sadat once again threatened to wage war against Israel."
"Moreover, I noticed that Britain, France and West Germany tend to support Egypt."
"These three countries are worried that the oil producing countries in the Middle East really don't supply oil." kisinger refuted with the attitude of an authoritative expert and suddenly said: "it turns out that David is interested in the situation in the Middle East because he is interested in the oil price fluctuation that may be caused by a war."
Gao Xian nodded slightly, "this is really my motivation."
