Chapter 493: There is no free lunch in the world (Third update, please subscribe)
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

This sentence can be translated into the greater the responsibility, the greater the sacrifice.

Nanyang got Ryukyu and the Caroline Islands, but it had to pay a corresponding price. After all, there is never a free lunch in this world.

"Li has decided to strengthen armaments."

Acheson told Truman in the Oval Office.

"Next year, they will use 30% of their aid to strengthen their maritime power, including the purchase of various ships from our country, including 18 remaining destroyers. In the future, the Nanyang Navy will compete with China in the Western Pacific. The U.S. Navy will cooperate more, and they will also strengthen their air and land forces."

Listening to Acheson's report, Truman nodded and said.

"If we want to curb the expansion of the Iron Curtain around the world, we must rely on more allies. Our implementation of the "Fourth Point Plan" is not only to win over allies, but also to enhance the power of allies. Only when their power is strong can they deal with The expansion on the other side of the Iron Curtain creates a check so that the balance of power can tip in our favor."

From the "Marshall Plan" to the "Point 4 Plan", the United States' foreign aid has never been out of aid to backward areas, but out of interests. In order to compete with the other side of the Iron Curtain on a global scale, this is all. The fundamental core of the aid program.

"The current success in Nanyang proves that our plan is successful, and it is natural for them to assume corresponding responsibilities,"

There is thick snow everywhere in Central Park in winter, but there is no snow on the roads. As usual, there are only a few people running in the park.

When Acheson finished speaking, the door of the Oval Office over there opened, and then Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson and several generals hurried in. As soon as they entered, Johnson reported nervously.

This thought flashed through Li Yian's mind again while running.

"The world is going to be very different."

"international Finance Center."

After getting up in the morning, even though he was abroad, Li Yian still maintained the corresponding living habits and ran ten kilometers every day. After leaving the hotel, only a few minutes later, he arrived at Central Park.

"Speaking out with words will only be seen as weakness by the Russians. If you want to stop them, you must use force. Only with sufficient strength can the Russians become cautious. We need Nanyang to play a more active role, especially In this situation.”

The sudden news stunned Truman, and after a moment, he spoke in a calm tone.

"Oh, this is all expected, it's just a little too fast."

Almost subconsciously, Li Yi'an excluded Chang'an from the international financial center because the development of Nanyang needs to be balanced, and Chang'an cannot be the dominant one. After all, there cannot be just one Chang'an in Nanyang in the future.

It was under this circumstance that Li Yian quietly left Washington. After all, the Russians currently do not have the ability to drop atomic bombs into Southeast Asia.

Yes, it is too much. It is only three years behind the United States!
Almost subconsciously, Truman said.

Three days ago, after leaving Washington, Li Yian came to New York. In the past three days, he visited a number of financial institutions, including the New York Stock Exchange.

"It can no longer be Chang'an. For the sake of regional development balance, this financial center should be established in the south... Yong'an may be a good choice."

"Yes, Mr. President, under the current international situation, we must consider various possibilities. The Russian expansion around the world has reached an unprecedented peak. This is something we must be vigilant about."

"Mr. President, we just received news that the Russians may have tested their atomic bomb in Central Asia!"

Build Nanyang into an international financial center!
This is Li Yian's inner desire, but where should this financial center be located?

Standing up, Truman walked back and forth in the office. After a while, he said.

……

In the next few days, Washington was swept by an atomic bomb storm. Almost everyone was talking about what impact Russia would have on the United States and the world after breaking the United States' monopoly on atomic bombs.

What more people feel is fear and uneasiness. After all, the Russians' possession of the atomic bomb broke more than just the American monopoly on the atomic bomb. It also means that one day an atomic bomb will most likely fall on the heads of Americans.

The development of Nanyang should be balanced!
"It must be Yong'an!"

Morning exercise is a way of life. The most important thing is not how fast you run, but persistence.

Persistence itself is a habit and a kind of perseverance. Half an hour later, Li Yian was still running without even sweating, not because of the cold weather, but because his body was very strong. This may be a sequelae of time travel.

Because Li Yi'an knew very well that even when he first entered college, although he could run four or five kilometers in one breath, he would be exhausted after that.

Later, my body became worse and worse day by day. I had no choice but to face too many temptations when I was in college.

What kind of games, what kind of seniors, what kind of seniors, don’t tell me,

There are even novels to catch up on - at that time, when I was catching up on "Game of Thrones, American Tycoon", I would catch up on it at one or two in the morning.

Although the physical capital is good, it cannot afford such squandering. When the health is too bad, it is okay. Now I don’t know whether it is a gift from the system or a sequelae of time travel. This body is always full of power. Even now, even if I sing every night, I will The day is still full of energy and glory.

This kind of physical fitness is simply beyond imagination. The legendary Superman's body of steel is no better than this!
Although the capital of a good figure is good, you must not squander it. You must strengthen exercise. Only in this way can you continue to enjoy yourself every night.

How can you face this forest without good health?

For example, those French girls I met by chance in France.

Just as Li Yian was running and thinking about life, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him. "It's you?"

Li Yian, who was thinking about life, turned around with some doubts and saw a tree.

Well, the trees in the forest actually came over on their own initiative.

She looks familiar, who is this girl? But...it is indeed a good tree!

This face, figure...

"Is it really you? You live in New York too?"

Grace, who was sweating on her forehead, panting a little, and her chest was rising slightly, looked at the man.

The chance encounter in the Havana casino five years ago left such a deep impression on this man in her heart that when she saw him, the scenes of the chance encounter with him immediately appeared in her mind, no matter whether it was for her. His own ignorance was still due to his miraculous gambling skills. They all drove her to subconsciously run to the side to say hello.

But the man's confusion made Grace stunned.

He... doesn't he remember himself?
do we know each other?
Although he really couldn't remember it, Li Yian immediately pretended to remember it.

"Well! What a coincidence, I have been in New York in the past few days..."

Ah! man.

The man's answer made Grace feel disappointed. This guy really forgot about herself.

Although she was extremely disappointed, Grace didn't know why, but she wasn't angry and followed him.

Although the cold wind is strong, some sunshine still shines on the earth through the clouds, bringing some warmth.

After taking a look at the girl's flawless profile, Li Yian's heartbeat accelerated slightly. His instinctive impulse did not disappear because of the previous long-distance run, but became stronger.

A man alone and a woman alone...isn't appropriate!

"Havana, Hotel Nacional."

Not knowing what to say, Grace finally reminded her.

"In the casino, do you remember?"

At the girl's reminder, Li Yian finally remembered that he had shown off his gambling skills to her there. But it seemed that it was not the first time they met. It seemed that they had met before. Thanks to the system's enhanced memory, he quickly remembered it.

"What a coincidence. This is the third time we have met. The other time was at the airport."

The man's answer made the corners of Grace's mouth rise, and the crescent moon appeared on her beautiful face. This guy really remembered her.

Let me just say, how could he not have any impression of himself?

Grace didn't know why she was so happy, she said in a good mood.

"A moment, are you free?"

Come, come, sure enough, girls who take the initiative are really different!

Could it be that the sparks that didn't fly with those flowers in Europe are about to spark in New York?

"Have!"

Li Yian's answer was unusually straightforward.

"There is a restaurant near here. Last time I was in Havana, you helped me win 5000 US dollars. I have been looking for a chance to express my gratitude. How about I treat you to breakfast?"

Grace, who took the initiative to extend the invitation, was even a little nervous inside.

Will he agree?
At this moment, Grace didn't even know why she sent out this invitation. Maybe it was because of the reunion after a long absence.

No, no.

This is just to thank him for helping me win thousands of dollars.

Grace found an answer for herself in her heart.

That's right, that's it!
"Ok."

The man's answer made Grace's mouth corners rise, and she said proudly in her heart.

"I knew no one could say no to me."
