Chapter 915: Lai Su

"Yes, I repeat it again," said Li Gen in a televised speech to the whole nation on November 27, 1989, with great solemnity: "After careful consideration and communication with many government officials and members of Congress, I have decided that all US land-based tactical nuclear weapons will be unilaterally destroyed, and the deployment ......of sea-based tactical nuclear weapons will also be withdrawn."

Speaking of this, Li Gen, as if he had anticipated how shocked the audience in front of the TV was, smiled slightly, and continued: "These promises were made unilaterally by the United States for the sake of world peace, regardless of whether the Soviet government will do the same or not, for the sake of world peace, the US government will do so, but I ask the Soviet government and the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, Mr. Gorbachev, to take similar measures, if we and the former Soviet leaders take the right steps- We destroy some, they destroy some, we destroy some together – we can dramatically reduce the size of the world's nuclear arsenal, and the world will be covered with blue skies and clouds, not nuclear clouds......"

Li Gen's statement on behalf of the US government on unilateral reduction of nuclear weapons arsenal instantly detonated the whole world!

People who are not of this era, Americans and Europeans who are not of this era, do not know at all how frightened people living in this era are, and why did the trends of thought led by rock and roll and **** and other currents of thought quickly become the mainstream of society after the end of World War II? It is because under the shroud of nuclear clouds, ordinary people, especially the new generation of young people, feel that the future is hopeless -- what is the use of my efforts? No matter how hard I try, maybe one day a nuclear war will start, and then "bang" In that case, why do I have to work so hard?

It's better to have fun in time, as for money, it's useless to make too much, just enough for me to live now.

As the two poles of the earth, although the United States and the Soviet Union have repeatedly stated that they want to reduce their nuclear arsenals, a very fucked up situation is that the more they reduce, the more the number of nuclear weapons increases, and the demand for reducing nuclear arsenals has been shouted for decades, but it is dry thunder and no rain - that is, everyone's finances are really unbearable, otherwise in order to completely destroy each other, the United States and the Soviet Union can double the number of current nuclear arsenals!

But in this context, the United States has taken the lead in unilaterally reducing its nuclear arsenal and withdrawing all land-based tactical weapons and sea-based tactical nuclear weapons?

Sky!

Li Gen's statement instantly became the front page headlines of major media around the world, what Irangate, what global stock market crash, all leaned back - no matter how important these things are, is it important to have your own life?

Even the US media did not criticize Li Gen's sudden unilateral reduction of nuclear weapons, but mostly praised and praised him.

There is no criticism, not because of how noble they are, but because the US media have actually seen very clearly that although Li Gen has promised to unilaterally reduce the arsenal of nuclear weapons, what has been reduced is tactical nuclear weapons, and there has been no reduction in the strategic nuclear forces led by land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles represented by the "Minuteman" series and the "Ethan Allen"-class strategic nuclear submarines, Lafayette-class strategic nuclear submarines, Ohio-class strategic nuclear submarines, and the "Trident" sea-based ICBMs and "Polaris" sea-based ICBMs.

Since the strategic-level nuclear armed forces have not been reduced in any way, and can still destroy the damned polar bear hundreds of times, there is nothing to worry about.

But in any case, after the United States made such a "noble" move to unilaterally reduce its nuclear arsenal, the pressure was on the side of the Soviets, and President Reagan said that "if we take the right steps with the leaders of the former Soviet Union – we destroy some, they destroy some, and we destroy some together – we can dramatically reduce the size of the world's nuclear arsenals", and now we have said so, and we have said so, and it is up to you, the Soviet Union......

The media throughout Europe and the United States began to rally public opinion against the Soviet Union, and the pressure on Li Gen lightened.

Five days later, the USSR officially responded.

On December 1, Gorbachev said in a televised public speech: "The Soviet Union greatly appreciates and praises the exemplary role played by His Excellency US President Regen, the Soviet Union loves peace, and in order to maintain world peace, the Soviet Union will gradually destroy all nuclear ammunition and tactical missile nuclear warheads of all artillery units in accordance with the timetable, and at the same time promise to destroy all nuclear mines. The planned destruction of tactical nuclear weapons, the USSR was willing to consult with the United States, and together we would destroy part of the strategic and weapons ......"

After saying this, Gorbachev once again solemnly said: "I will visit the United States in December to consult with His Excellency US President Reagan on the reduction and destruction of nuclear weapons, economic and trade exchanges, and a series of major international issues." ”

O saints!

As soon as Gorbachev's statement came out, the European media, which had been holding their breath and waiting for the Soviet Union's response, were overjoyed after Li Gen made a promise to unilaterally reduce tactical nuclear weapons!

The manuscript, which had already been prepared, was immediately published in the newspaper, boasting and licking Gorbachev's ability to boast and lick it, saying that Gorbachev had made tremendous contributions to world peace and that Gorbachev was the greatest and noblest leader of the Soviet Union since World War II......

In short, in the blink of an eye, Gorbachev has become a saint of the European media.

It is no wonder that the European media are so excited, because there is really no way, Europe is on the front line of the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union, and for decades, poor Europeans have to sleep with one eye open, and they walk with trembling and trembling and their stomachs turning.

Against this social backdrop, when Gorbachev says that the Soviet Union is going to reduce its tactical nuclear weapons, what do you think will be the reaction of Europeans, especially ordinary Europeans?

To put it mildly, there is no habit in Europe to give people immortal tablets, otherwise maybe there would be people who set up immortal tablets for Gorbachev at this time - don't think this idea is strange, Stockholm syndrome.

At the same time, some media began to look forward to the meeting between Gorbachev and Li Gen with great anticipation: What heavyweight results can be achieved by this meeting between the two giants of the United States and the Soviet Union? Can some strategic nuclear weapons be reduced? Can even some economic and trade agreements be reached?

…………………………

Just as the whole world began to enthusiastically report on Gorbachev's meeting with Ligan, a Fokker F100-ER (long-range) plane quietly landed at Moscow International Airport.

After such a long delay, the representatives of the Hongdu plant and the minibus finally completed all the formalities for coming to the Soviet Union.

As soon as he got off the plane, Zhang Tong apologized to Chen Geng one after another: "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's more troublesome to go abroad in China, and the Soviet Union and us have not formally established diplomatic relations, so ......."

"Understand," without waiting for Zhang Tong to finish speaking, Chen Geng smiled and nodded: "Mr. Zhang, you don't have to mind this, none of us can do anything about the problems at the government level." ”

Chen Geng was not unhappy because of this, and Zhang Tong breathed a sigh of relief.

Although before coming to the Soviet Union, he had greeted the leaders of the country who formulated relevant policies for going abroad more than a dozen times, but at this moment, he couldn't help but greet again: Look at these bullshit policies you have formulated!
