The words of the Commander-in-Chief also represent the doubts of Nancy and Brandt Dicissar: yes, why is China special, isn't it all socialist countries like the Soviet Union?

Chen Geng shrugged his shoulders: "In the eyes of many people, Huaxia, like the Soviet Union, is a socialist country and our enemy, but I don't think much of it, probably because the Chinese people don't drink vodka much, so the Chinese people have always been able to clearly understand one thing, that is: what do they want." ”

What do Chinese people really want?

Chen Geng's statement made the Grand Commander's wife and Comrade Chief of Staff a little surprised: Is there such a statement?

They continued to look at Chen Geng, wanting to see if Chen Geng could really say the flowers.

"If you put it more bluntly, the Chinese people are very self-aware, they know how much they can eat, and they will never eat more than they can eat when they can only eat one bowl of rice, but the Soviets are different, even if their belly can only eat one bowl of rice, but it does not prevent them from taking the whole pot away, even if they can't take the pot away, they have to find a way to smash the pot after they are full, so that others can't eat, if the Soviets let them drink some vodka, it would be better, in the eyes of those rough hairs who have drunk high, the whole earth is theirs......”

Before Chen Geng finished speaking, Nancy couldn't help but laugh out loud, she thought what Fernandez said was too funny. But if you think about it carefully, the damned Soviet Maozi is indeed what Fernandez said, a group of greedy and non-poisonous wolves that can never be fed.

Hearing Nancy's laughter, Chen Geng breathed a sigh of relief: "Huaxia is different, Huaxia just wants to fill its stomach, and the most important thing is that they are far less hostile to the West than the Soviet Union, they are willing to learn from the West, communicate with the West, and even pay the price for it." ”

"The price?"

Nancy couldn't help but interject, "At what cost?"

Chen Geng said softly: "China's reform and opening up and the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam. ”

Nancy frowned, she still couldn't understand what China's reform and opening up and the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam had to do with the price paid by China.

The Grand Commander understood, but the Grand Commander saw that what Chen Geng said was interesting and his wife was willing to listen to it, so he nodded to Chen Geng: "Tell me about this carefully." ”

Of course, Chen Geng didn't mind going into more detail, but ...... Glancing at the floor clock on the side, he looked at the commander with a slight embarrassment: "Of course it's okay to say carefully, but your time is ......"

After all, as the commander-in-chief, Reagan's time can be accurately calculated in seconds, that is, the situation is different tonight, and it doesn't matter if he goes out a little later, if it is any other political activity, it is absolutely not allowed.

Knowing what Chen Geng meant, the Grand Commander turned his head to his chief of staff, Brant Dicissar, and ordered, "Go and say hello to me, and help me move for another ten minutes." ”

Brant Dicisal was a little embarrassed, but he went anyway.

The commander was so interesting, without a signal, Chen Geng explained to Nancy: "In 1978, the currency crisis caused by the United States and Britain led to the breaking of the global money supply balance and the beginning of global currency depreciation. Then came the Iranian oil crisis, which led to a rapid rise in oil prices, which soared by 78% in a very short period of time, and the possibility of continued increases, while the Soviet Union was already the world's largest oil exporter, with an annual oil production capacity of up to 600 million tons. ”

"Oh my God!" Nancy couldn't help but cover her mouth.

Anyone in their normal sense knows what 600 million tonnes and 78 percent of the growth rate means – and if what Fernandez said before is true, the surge in oil prices was intentional in the West, then the price paid by the West to trap the Soviet Union is too great.

The Grand Commander couldn't help but glance at Chen Geng again: How did this kid do it......? It's kind of scary.

In his heart, the Great Commander became more and more interested in what Chen Geng was going to say next, and he was even a little curious and expectant: What kind of performance do you have?

"The depreciation of the currency stimulated the export of oil, and the rise in international oil prices gave the Soviet Union the illusion that its strength was back, and on the surface it seemed that it was the same, the Soviet Red Army they intervened in the border war in South Africa, in Ethiopia, in Vietnam, in South American countries...... It's like the posture of the world's boss.

But there is a good saying, the powerful pretend X is called Niu X, and the powerful pretend X is called stupid X, for the Soviet Union, just entered 1979, they suddenly found that someone dared to challenge their status as the world boss......"

Nancy exclaimed: "Huaxia's self-defense counterattack against Vietnam!"

Chen Geng smiled but said nothing.

However, the commander explained softly to Nancy: "It is not China's self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, but the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States." ”

"The establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States?" Nancy was somewhat incomprehensible.

Chen Geng nodded: "Well, the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, China's foreign reform and opening up, and China's self-defense and counterattack war against Vietnam are actually all China's surrender to the Western world.

Because Vietnam is its little brother, the Soviet Union thinks that although China is clamoring fiercely, they dare not really do anything to Vietnam, so you can imagine how the Soviet top brass felt when China's self-defense counterattack against Vietnam started...... The arrogant and arrogant Soviets thought that they had been slapped hard by Huaxia, which was something that uncles could not tolerate and aunts could not bear, and Sino-Soviet relations fell to a freezing point. ”

“......”

Nancy understood Chen Geng's words, but she was at a loss for Chen Geng's last sentence, and she didn't know where the laughter was.

The corners of Chen Geng's mouth twitched: Okay, it's my problem.

He continued: "Then came Afghanistan, on the battlefield in Afghanistan, with the support of the world-famous West, the oppressed Afghan people set off a frenzy of resistance to Soviet oppression.

At the same time, the currency crisis that had lasted for two years suddenly stopped, and international oil prices began to plummet, and I read in the newspapers some time ago that the Soviet ambassador to the United Nations angrily told the media that this sharp drop in oil prices was contrary to the laws of the market economy -- listen, a country that practices a planned economy, says that the sharp drop in crude oil prices is contrary to the laws of the market economy, and you can imagine the extent to which the Soviets have panicked......

When he said this, Chen Geng wanted to vomit a little, but he had no choice, he had to endure it: "For the Soviet Union, which was still extremely self-inflated last year and thought that it was the world boss, it was simply overnight, and the whole familiar world completely changed into a different picture, and the international situation made the Soviet Union completely incomprehensible: why is it that it is already so strong, and there are so many stupid X who dare to challenge the powerful and great self?"

Speaking of which, even Chen Geng couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to the Soviet Union, it was really miserable for the Maozi to be pitted: before this, the Maozi thought that their international environment was very good, relying on the money earned from selling oil, the country's depleted finances were recovering rapidly, and they should take advantage of this momentum to attack and make more benefits, they thought so, and they did so, but overnight, the international crude oil delivery price in the United States fell by 20%, and this plunge has continued without an end in sight......

With no money from the sale of oil, the poor Maozi were stunned to find that they could only watch their finances quickly go bankrupt due to the drag of the war in Afghanistan, but they could do nothing.

Further, Maozi's head is the name of our reform and opening up.

Why do we say that the model of China's reform and opening up cannot be replicated?

The most important reason is here.

China's reform and opening up is accompanied by a change in China's position, and if we had not personally stood with the West and buried Maozi, the Western countries would have recognized us? If you say open up, we will open up? If you say that we will invest in attracting investment, you are not the protagonist of the opening of the hanging.

But to a certain extent, Mao Zi is really a good person, they sacrificed themselves to fulfill us, and they deserve to be the big brother of the socialist camp, this spirit of self-sacrifice...... Well, it's good for you to sacrifice.

The huge oval office was quiet, and it was a little difficult for Nancy to digest the information in Chen Geng's words.

Chen Geng is not in a hurry, since the commander is not in a hurry, what is there to worry about?

After a while, Nancy, who had finally digested the content of Chen Geng's words, couldn't help but ask Chen Geng again: "I roughly understand what you said, but there are some things I still don't understand, is it possible that the top level of the Soviet government headed by Brezhnev is so stupid, why would they make such an irrational decision?"

When you say lightweight, of course it's simple.

Chen Geng shook his head, and had to explain to Nancy seriously: "No, the reason why the Soviet leaders made these irrational decisions was not because they were stupid, but because of the political pattern and political climate of the Soviet Union. ”

Nancy immediately looked at her husband.

The Commander-in-Chief nodded: "On the one hand, the Soviet Union was blind and overconfident in its own armed forces, and on the other hand, they were also worried that Poland, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and other European countries would follow suit...... Europe was the base of the Soviet Union. ”

Nancy was a little dazed, she felt like she understood, but she didn't.

Instead, the great commander looked at Chen Geng and said: "I understand what you mean, do you mean that after Huaxia made enemies with the Soviet Union, they actually had no choice but to go to the dark with our civilized world?"

Chen Geng nodded and said: "Actually, we can ask the Soviet Union this question: Can the Soviet Union accept Huaxia again?"

"How is that possible?" the Grand Commander laughed, and secretly decided in his heart: it was time to give Huaxia a little more benefit and give them a little hope.
