USSR 1991

Now China and the United States are engaged in delicate negotiations and games on the Taiwan issue. Last month, China conducted a large-scale missile launch exercise and postponed the second round of Wang-Koo talks.

China's tough attitude has greatly shocked the United States, prompting a major debate in the US Congress on China policy to reach a climax.As a result of the debate, the mainstream of the Democratic Party and the Republican Party formed a basic consensus: China's rise and strength are unstoppable.It is in the long-term interests of the United States to maintain engagement with China while adopting a policy of suppression and containment.

“3月8日零时跟1时，中方从永安分别试射2枚东风15导弹，落在高雄外海西南30至150海里目标区；而同步时间前后不到10分钟，3月8日1时，从南平发射一枚东风15导弹，落在基隆外海29海里处目标区。”

“在3月12日至3月20日间，中国的解放军海空部队在东海与南海展开第二次实弹军事演习。航空兵力之战术操演和编队航行、火炮、导弹射击及海空联训，该岛离台湾当局实际控制的岛屿不足10海里。”

"From March 3th to March 18th, China's PLA navy, land and air forces launched the third military exercise of joint landing operations. The exercises included amphibious landings, airborne and mountain combat exercises."

Every move of the Chinese side is provoking everyone's nerves. The only ones who feel at ease and even have some surprises are the top Kremlin officials who are reaping the benefits of this crisis.

At the same time, when Pavlov visited the Korean peninsula, the supreme leader of the Korean peninsula immediately inspected the Korean People’s Army’s long-range artillery strike drill of the front-line large coalition forces. To pre-emptively attack Seoul's governing body without any warning or prior notification, and complete the historical feat of national reunification.

It was a blatant threat, while Pavlov was at the negotiating table for the final round.

Negotiation is inherently a psychology, especially when South Korea is facing the pressure of the North Korean army but is alone and helpless.

Pavlov smiled and said, "The front-line troops inspected by the North Korean leader are also front-line offensive troops against South Korea. According to our intelligence, judging from the equipment of the troops conducting live ammunition shooting, they are mainly equipped with 170mm Gushan self-propelled artillery and 300mm Millimeter rockets, these artillery are deployed along the front of the 300th parallel, and the range can cover the capital of South Korea. The range of the new 170mm rockets may reach 300-[-] kilometers, which can completely cover the Seoul area.”

President Kim Young-sam retorted, "Although North Korea's long-range artillery has formed a temporary deterrent due to its scale, due to its poor survivability, in actual combat, the US-South Korea coalition's artillery quality advantage and absolute superiority in aviation firepower can quickly launch a counterattack and destroy a large number of exposed artillery. Most of the Taniyama cannons may be destroyed by counterattack fire or precision-guided weapons with only one chance to fire, and only a small number of 1mm rockets may be able to survive the second salvo."

"I know." Faced with Kim Yong-sam's counterattack, Pavlov threw out the first chip, "So we supported the Korean People's Army with a large number of SAM air defense missiles, zsu-23-4 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, and we also have SU-25 attack aircraft are provided to North Korea to deal with the aviation firepower of the U.S. and South Korean coalition forces. Don’t forget that we have more experience than you in long-range artillery fire. Of course you can wait until the U.S. fleet comes to rescue you, but I firmly believe in the Taiwan Strait area The conflict will break out before the Korean peninsula, will the United States, which is unable to stop, have a chance to free up to meet you?"

"What are you trying to do!" Facing Pavlov's threat, Jin Yongsan was a little angry.If the coercion by the United States, both hard and soft, made Kim Young-sam helpless, then the direct and brutal threat style of the Soviet Union is simply outrageous.

The one on the side was stunned after seeing this scene, how can the negotiation between countries be so direct?Sure enough, the comprehensive strength of a country determines their status in diplomatic outbound.

"Arms sales." Pavlov said with a smile.

"Buy and sell by force? Is this your big country policy?" Jin Yongsan said indignantly.

Pavlov waved his hands, made a helpless expression, and explained, "Don't be kidding, President Kim Young-sam. We are for peace on the Korean peninsula. Only when the military power of South Korea and North Korea is maintained in a balanced state can long-term peace and stability be guaranteed. In other words, North Korea bought Soviet-made weapons, don’t you intend to increase its military strength?”

Jin Yongsan clenched his fists and replied coldly, "Then I would rather choose a weapon made in the United States than a weapon made in the Soviet Union."

"Whatever you want, President Kim Young-sam." Pavlov's change of attitude caught Kim Young-sam by surprise, "I just want to remind you of one thing, is there still time to place an order with an American arms company? Asia-Pacific conflicts are possible at any time. It will explode, and the Soviet Union has ready-made weapons to sell."

Kim Young-sam fell silent. The Soviet Union took advantage of this crisis to make war fortunes. China, which urgently needs to strengthen its military strength, is naturally the largest buyer of the Soviet Union, and Japan, which is worried about being affected by the conflict, has become a long-term customer of the Soviet Union. Among them, the only one unwilling to cooperate is South Korea.

The Soviet Union set its sights on the ambitious North Korea, and took advantage of the opportunity that the United States could not spare to buy and sell South Korea.By the time the United States returned to God, the Soviet Union had already made a fortune and left.

"I agree to your request, Prime Minister Pavlov."

President Kim Young-sam no longer had the haughty look he had before. After several rounds of confrontation, he was finally downcast like a defeated gladiator.

If you don't agree, a conflict may break out at any time. If you agree, it will be a waste of money and disaster relief at best.

"I am grateful to President Kim Young-sam for making the right choice."

Pavlov nodded with satisfaction, and at the same time secretly heaved a sigh of relief, because he finally took the last step of the Asia-Pacific conflict.Now that the various countries are full of gunpowder, the significance of the Soviet Union as a third-party coordinator is becoming more and more important.

All that is left is a crisis to bring this conflict to a head.

Chapter 449 New Era, New War

A speech delivered by Masao Iwasato at the National Assembly directly heated up the situation in the Asia-Pacific region. He said that Taiwan and the Chinese regime will be in a state of hostility for a period of time in the future. state, and will respond to the threat of force from across the strait with more aggressive measures.

This is to further prepare for legal independence.

American President Mario was so angry that he almost threw his slippers at the TV after hearing Masao Iwanato's words. He originally wanted to exercise restraint with China, and the "delicate balance" that was in a restrained state was completely disrupted by this speech.The Chinese side, which originally regarded the Strait issue as a taboo, has now completely shown a ferocious posture, and the "playing with fire" Masao Iwasato has always thought that there are three aircraft carrier battle groups of the US Pacific Fleet protecting Taiwan, which is stripped of water, and the Chinese side dare not be presumptuous. .

President Mario urgently summoned U.S. National Counselor Anthony Lake in the middle of the night, and wanted to hear the views of the White House think tank elite on this issue.In the president's office, Anthony, who frowned, only gave President Mario a one-sentence reply, waiting to see what happened.

"Wait and see?" President Mario said with a wry smile. "The problem is to wait and see. What if China chooses to go to war with the United States? You must know that behind them there is a red empire whose military strength has not yet declined."

After hearing the title of the European bulldozer in the Soviet Union, Mario's mood became depressed. After a series of changes, Mario's perception of the Soviet Union finally changed from "the joy of the Soviet Union on the verge of collapse" to " Why a dying red empire is scarier than the 70s when it was at its strongest."

However, it is far more accurate for a calm and strongest traverser to become the leader of the super empire than the future calculated by Mario's group of think tanks.

"Once China launches an attack, will the United States choose to withdraw or choose to fight? If it withdraws, it will mean that our position as the world's number one power will be in jeopardy, because two interest alliances have begun to challenge us. The economic crisis caused by the bad mortgage crisis has not yet been resolved. Rushing to war without preparation will only cause us to lose more."

Whether you walk to the left or to the right, facing the United States is an abyss.

This means that it was an unwise choice for the United States to choose to wade into this muddy water at the beginning, although in December last year, President Mario even vowed that China would choose to surrender to the United States because of this incident.Unexpectedly, a bigger counterattack was ushered in.

Anthony smoked in silence, staying up late so that his eyes were bloodshot, and he could only keep his head running and thinking 24 hours a day by constantly stimulating his nerves with coffee and cigarettes.

He was silent for a while, and replied, "So what we have to do now is to wait and see what happens, and then prepare for peace or sanctions, but don't start a direct conflict with China because of the Taiwan issue. It is a nightmare. And if we choose to stand by, then our plan to blockade China’s island chain will never be realized. Now that Japan has shown signs of favoring China and the Soviet Union, if we lose another Taiwan? Only South Korea will be left. Moreover, the group of self-sufficient guys in Europe did more than fail, and at that time the Western countries could stop the rise of the Eastern Dragon."

Rise of the Dragons.

When hearing these words, Mario's heart suddenly tightened.He gripped the coffee mug so hard his knuckles turned pale, his face pale.

"First, the torrent of Soviet steel that pushes Europe flat, and then a red dragon that makes the leaders of all major countries carefully look at it. Does it mean that the prosperity of communism is irresistible?"

The increasingly fierce conflict will lead to another thing, that is, an endless arms race. At least the United States has realized that the current strength of the US military can only maintain the strategic balance of nuclear weapons, and it is impossible to prevent the Chinese and Soviet forces from attacking. Although now China's role as the world's super economy has become more and more prominent, and there is even a tendency to surpass Japan vaguely.

Going to war means the destruction of the world. The United States can only temporarily maintain the lead, and then use various methods to subvert or even destroy the thriving red republic.President Mario needs the support of members of Congress, at least to let them know what kind of situation the United States is facing now.

This monitoring meeting was held very suddenly, and most of the congressmen still haven't figured out what President Mario is going to do. For them, although this agent is not very reliable, it is indeed in the interests of Wall Street's financial giants. In other words, Mario was the only one of a bunch of bad candidates who wasn't that bad, and it's a pity that Clinton was eliminated early, so the mediocrity of Mario can only make up for it.

"Dear members of Congress, I am standing here not because of personal interests, but for the future of our children, our country, and our nation."

Mario's voice was a bit heavy, and the originally noisy congress hall fell silent, and everyone was waiting for what Mario would say next.

"As you can see, a red empire is rising, and there is also a Soviet Union that maintains a strong military combat capability despite its decline. The pattern of the Cold War in the past has changed. In addition to dealing with economic problems, the United States now has to pay attention to the two countries in the East. The eye of a super empire."

This sentence made the members of the audience start to quarrel. Some of them may have worried about this issue before, but while seizing the Chinese market, no one thought that they were not controlled by foreign capital and domestic oligarchs like Eastern European or Central European countries. and monopoly, but use foreign capital to lay the foundation for the rise of domestic industrial strength.

Only when the greedy capitalists who have made a lot of money want to further squeeze a country will they try to think about how to disintegrate a sovereign country and make them the prey of their own financial plunder.They never needed a strong ally, just a lamb that could be eaten by a mermaid.However, this naive panda in China hides the sharp claws that do not belong to the Soviet giant bear.

"So we have to increase military spending, as well as intelligence spending on China and the Soviet Union, and even incite them and subvert them. Everything we do is for our future."

Mario's impassionedness can be summed up in one meaning, the government needs money, a lot of money.

A member of the audience immediately stood up to refute Mario's statement. This shrewd member questioned President Mario's ability, "However, Congress approves a large amount of funds for you every year, but what credit have you made? A senior CIA executive was leaked , Agent Emmanuel, who possessed a lot of information, was instigated, and you lost face in the confrontation in the Arabian Sea. Every confrontation ended with the United States retreating. Is this the achievement you gave us?"

After listening to their narration, Mario said calmly, "This is a new war. The rules of the old era no longer conform to this new era. Conflict is no longer the only state of mind between the two poles. Cooperation, as well as control, as long as the United States suppresses China and the Soviet Union politically and controls China economically, then the U.S. hegemony will continue. So I urge Congress to continue to invest more in our cause against communism.”

"What is happening in the Asia-Pacific region is obvious to all. Now two military powers have formed an alliance to jointly deal with the great goal of the United States to maintain world order. This practice is evil and cannot be tolerated. interests of the region and the dignity of the United States."

President Mario's words caused a lot of discussion among the members of the House of Representatives. After all, these members of the Congress took the violation of the interests of a country as a matter of course.Especially under the instigation of Mario, there will indeed be the idea that the interests of the United States are higher than the sovereignty of other countries.

Looking at the slightly anxious expressions of the congressmen, Mario knew that his plan was half successful. Next, as long as he kept instilling the threat of the Red Empire to this group of people, he could defraud more funds.After all, the U.S. military is the best at using this method to defraud the defense department of funds.

Mario said impassionedly, "There is no time for us to hesitate. The enemy has already advanced his sphere of influence while we are discussing. Are we going to sit and wait for death? No, the Star-Spangled Banner will never fall!"
