Chapter 886: The Door Gradually Opens
It's time for the USSR to play the Chinese card to the United States?
Frankly speaking, since the formal establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States in 1978, a series of cooperation between China and the United States in the diplomatic field and international affairs has indeed made the Soviet Union quite uncomfortable. General Shaposhnikov, General of the General Staff, and Gorbachev, and a number of high-ranking Soviet officials, felt that their eyes were bright: Playing the card of Huaxia and letting the Yankees also taste the taste of the Soviet Union in the past few years......
It's a nice look.
Boris Pankin, who had been paying close attention to his boss, saw that Gorbachev was a little moved, and immediately asked Foreign Minister Primakov: "Comrade Primakov, can you elaborate on this point?"
"Of course!"
For Primakov, his proposal was valued and followed by Comrade Gorbachev, which is of course a good thing, and he immediately shook his spirits, first nodded to Gorbachev before he spoke: "Dear Comrade Gorbachev, comrades, if we carefully analyze the series of dialogue policies of the United States in the past four years, we will notice the fact that as we, the Soviet Union, gradually gained the upper hand in the confrontation with the United States, The United States has gradually gained the upper hand, and the United States is actually constantly adjusting its China policy, and this adjustment is tightening.
In the two years when Huaxia and the United States had just established diplomatic relations, Huaxia could obtain from the United States a civilian version of the UH-60 'Black Hawk' utility helicopter, which was a superior utility helicopter than our Mi-8 helicopter; it could obtain the retired CH-54 'Tach' heavy helicopter from the US military; and the Americans even wanted to sell the F-14 'Tomcat' heavy fighter and F-16 fighter to Huaxia at one time, but it was only because the Chinese people had no money to do so.
And their cooperation is not limited to this, for example, the Americans sold the full set of technology of the most advanced 1553B airborne data bus to the Chinese, with the 1553B data bus technology, with the latest Doppler radar, the Chinese fighters have improved their combat effectiveness very significantly......
However, if we look at the interaction between China and the United States at the military level for more than a year from last year to now, the interaction between China and the United States at the military level has obviously become much 'colder', and on the contrary, some foundations and charitable organizations in the United States have obviously increased their activities in China. ”
A group of high-ranking Soviet officials, including Gorbachev, nodded in unison: Indeed, they know too well what the so-called foundations and charitable organizations in the United States are.
"And what we need to see is that the U.S. activity in the southeast of China is also significantly more intense, and it is clear that the Americans are ready to play the 4V card again......
All of this proves one point: In terms of its policy toward China, the US government has changed from comprehensively supporting China and pinning its hopes on using China to balance our Soviet Union to restricting China's development.
For example, if the Americans do not want to see a militarily strong China, then we will find ways to help China strengthen their military strength......
Before Foreign Minister Primakov could finish his words, General Shaposhnikov's face could not help but smile: As a well-known pro-China faction within the top echelons of the Soviet Union, this was the situation he wanted to see.
........................
Of course, it was difficult to reach any consensus at a meeting, but Foreign Minister Primakov's remarks still won the approval and support of many "centrists": if we can stumble the Americans a little bit by winning over Huaxia, let the damned Yankees taste the embarrassment of the Soviet Union in the past few years, and give Huaxia some support...... It doesn't seem impossible to consider?
Although there is no general consensus, for General General Shaposhnikov, he is very happy to see this situation.
As soon as General Shaposhnikov, who was in a good mood, returned home, the guards brought him the latest news from the negotiating team: the Chinese wanted to buy the most advanced fighter of the Soviet Union, the Su-27.
"How did the Chinese know about the Su-27?" General Shaposhnikov frowned, a little strange, and a little unhappy:
Sukhoi's Su-27 is the most advanced twin-engine heavy fighter in the Soviet Union and the most advanced in the world today, and it is also one of the highest-level military secrets of the Soviet Union.
"General, the news that came back from the negotiating team said that the reason why the Chinese people knew about the existence of the Su-27 was because they got the news on the 'scalpel over the Barents Sea' from the media on the European side. The guard replied earnestly.
General Shaposhnikov became more and more unhappy: "What did Comrade Nikolayevich eat, couldn't he say to the comrades in China that 'the scalpel over the Barents Sea' is the MiG-29?"
"Comrade Nikolaev also explained this to the comrades in Huaxia," the guard explained: "But the comrades over there in China took out the photos of the No. 36 aircraft and the MiG-29 taken by NATO, and confirmed through some differences in details that the 'scalpel' was a brand-new twin-engine heavy fighter, not the MiG-29."
After explaining, the guard asked for instructions: "The comrades of the negotiation team ask you: Now that the comrades in Huaxia insist on buying this latest fighter instead of the MiG-29, how should they reply to the request of the comrades in Huaxia?"
It is said that negotiations are a matter for the diplomatic system, and it is difficult for the military to participate, but since arms sales are involved, that is another matter, and the military will always have the right to speak in foreign arms sales.
General Shaposhnikov rubbed his temples and couldn't help muttering: "Why don't they want the MiG-29?"
As the newest and most powerful air combat platform of the Soviet Union, not to mention the Soviet Union's own allies, even the Soviet Union itself is not equipped with many Su-27s, and of course it is impossible to sell them to Huaxia, but a Huaxia that is too weak in the field of military equipment is not in the interests of the Soviet Union.
Alas...... Wouldn't it be nice to want the Su-27 and the MiG-29.
However, although General Shaposhnikov was a little depressed about Comrade Huaxia's choice of Su-27 instead of MiG-29, his heart was actually more happy, as a well-known pro-China faction within the top of the Soviet government, General Shaposhnikov knew very well how big the gap between the MiG-29 and the Su-27 was, and if Huaxia chose the Su-27, how much would it improve the overall strength of their air force. The comrades in Huaxia made the right choice. ”
“......”
The guards looked at their noses and noses, and they didn't say a word: it has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with me.
After saying this, General Shaposhnikov, who had already made up his mind in his heart, strode to the telephone and picked up the phone: "Help me pick up Comrade Yefimov." ”
After a while, General Shaposhnikov spoke again: "Comrade Yefimov, I am Shaposhnikov...... That's right, just now the negotiation team sent me the latest results of the consultations, saying that our Chinese friends hope to be able to buy our latest Su-27 fighter jets...... No, no, there was no leak, the Chinese came to the conclusion through reports from Europe and some other intelligence sources that the 'scalpel' was a twin-engine heavy fighter and not a MiG-29...... Yes yes...... My thought was, can I show my young Chinese friends the Su-27?"
Alexander Nikolayevich Yefimov, the current Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force of the USSR and Deputy Minister of Defense, and General Shaposhnikov, knew very well that his ideas could only be implemented with the support of Comrade Yefimov.
Hanging up the phone, General Shaposhnikov breathed a sigh of relief.
....................................
Chen Gengke did not know that the Soviet Union had quietly opened the door for China to purchase Su-27 fighter jets, and he was studying and judging the information of this major stock market crash to the greatest extent: Although he was generally clear about the situation of the 1987 stock market crash, he did not dare to guarantee whether his appearance had affected the course of history.
In this case, he found all the relevant information about the bull market in the United States, specifically, from 1982.
To be precise, the U.S. stock market began a six-year mega bull market, driven by a series of positive news, including rapid economic growth, rising corporate profits, increased demand from new institutional investors, and a package of tax breaks promoted by the Reagan administration.
However, since the second half of last year, there have been some troubling signs in the US stock market, such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by as much as 120.78 points on September 11-12 last year, and the one-day decline on September 11 was the largest since May 28, 1962.
And that's not all, just at the beginning of this year, between 1:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. on January 23, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 115 points and then rose 60 points.
But what is even more wrong is that the economist Shiller conducted a questionnaire survey on the stock market on the same day, but the results of the survey showed that at that time, people did not talk about words such as "fear", "fall", and "stock market crash", but people used words such as "computer program trading", "profit", and "crazy" the most.
Looking at these articles, Kelly Hicks, who was assisting Chen Geng in finding information, had straight eyes......
