No one knows what impact the conversation at Barrrod Farm in Texas will have on the world, let alone how terrible the consequences will be, but the whole world is quietly changing because of this conversation

First of all, the United States, two weeks after the Bayerrod Farm talk, the Reagan administration strongly proposed the "Star Wars" plan, which was approved by Congress and allocated a huge amount of money, so that this huge project aimed at intercepting the Soviet Union ~~Jimbn~~~Daodao~~, officially turned from a concept into a reality;

In addition, the United States has joined forces with Saudi Arabia to suppress oil prices, and the oil futures index on the New York Mercantile Exchange has pushed international crude oil prices to the lowest point in more than a decade, while almost all oil-producing countries have collapsed;

At the same time, taking advantage of its dominant position in international trade to frantically raise international grain prices, the crackling numbers of the major grain futures indices on the Chicago Board of Trade have pushed the prices of wheat, corn, soybeans and other crops to one peak after another

Keen speculators and financial speculators quickly smelled the meaning, wantonly shorted oil, crazy long food, between a rise and a fall, many American investment banks and financial speculators made a lot of money, which made the whole market even more crazy, but when people focused all their attention on the recklessness of the US financial market,

But few people know that the declining oil index and the rising food prices are like two powerful nooses, which entangle the neck of the giant beast of the Soviet Union, and continue to tighten violently, silently making the Soviet economy weak and dying

The highly centralized political ~~governance~~economy~~ economic system allowed the Soviet Union to concentrate its efforts on big things, and strong planning instructions could concentrate all the resources of the Soviet Union and put them into the consumption of competing for hegemony with the United States, but the forces that could be concentrated could not necessarily make this power last for a long time, and the resources that were painstakingly collected were more likely to make the country's economic structure deformed and embarrassing!

The Soviet economy in 1985 was already a compliment to describe it as deformed, because its economy was still cultivated into a complete freak, placing great emphasis on heavy industry and military industry, investing more than eight layers of the country's resources into it, resulting in a long-term decline in light industry and agriculture, which are closely related to the lives of the population.

In particular, agriculture, since the Khrushchev era, the Soviet Union's agriculture has failed year after year, and it is hard to imagine that a country with a vast territory of more than 20 million square kilometers, but no grain grows in the land, has become a complete grain importer at the end of the seventies.

In order to fill the stomach, but also in order to compete with the United States for hegemony, the Soviet Union needs to use foreign exchange to buy the raw materials needed in the international market, but the Soviet Union should lack fine management, and the industrial products produced are difficult to compete with similar Western products in terms of quality and comfort.

In particular, the oil known as the industrial blood has huge reserves, so a steady stream of oil flows abroad through various means, and by taking advantage of the high oil situation after the two Middle East wars, it has made a lot of money, not only making up for the huge food shortage, but also making the Soviet Union's ambitions more inflated, and in the process of competing for world hegemony with the United States, it has made a sharper move and more aggressive

It's just that the weakness under the tough appearance of the Soviet Union has never escaped the sharp eyes that have been hidden in the Baierrod Farm in Texas, he is not not shooting, but is waiting quietly, as for the reason is very simple, because he feels that this sheep named the Soviet Union is not fat enough.

When he confirmed that the sheep he was waiting for was fat and strong, and the meat was fat, he grabbed the scissors without hesitation, and after harvesting the fine wool, he picked up the long-hidden butcher's knife and wiped it on the throat of the fat sheep

The "Star Wars" program was the "scissors," which allowed the Soviet Union to devote all its resources and reserves to the arms race; the two major exponents that fell together were the "butcher's knife"; steel could not be used as bread, and guns and artillery were even more delicious caviar; when the endurance of the impoverished Soviet people broke through a critical value, the Soviet Union would inevitably fall into a terrible catastrophe

"War, war, can these guys who are full of war use bullets as caviar, or can they turn explosives into flour?

In the splendid No. 1 office of the Kremlin in Moscow, the Soviet Union, who had just attended the meeting of the Political ~~Governance~~ Bureau, roared fiercely, because his proposal at the meeting to reduce nuclear ~~ weapons in order to compromise with the United States was once again strongly resisted by the Soviet military,

In the face of the strong pressure of the military and the deteriorating predicament of the domestic economy, Ge~~Er~~Ba~~Joe~~ The two beautiful eyebrows of the husband are wrinkled deeper and deeper, and the sound of cursing is getting louder and louder, he is an ambitious man, he is a person who wants to reverse the predicament of reality, but the harsh facts tell him that all this is too difficult, so difficult that even he, the high-ranking Soviet Union president~~book~~, can not fully do:

"No, we can't go on like this!"

I don't know how long it took, Ge~~Er~~Ba~~Joe~~ finally calmed down, crossed his arms and stood in front of a wide world map, he wanted to find a window for the army to fully vent, you must know that the Soviet army has always been known for its aggressive offensive posture, whether it is in the formulation of strategy or the specific implementation, all so;

However, in the past year, the Soviet Union was mired in the quagmire of Afghanistan and could not extricate itself, and was also resisted and ostracized by many countries in the Middle East, including Egypt.

In this way, the military forces headed by Marshal Sokolov will become more and more tough, otherwise their importance will not be highlighted, and because of this, at this moment, Go~~Er~~Ba~~Joe~~ must divert the attention of the military, otherwise his long-brewing policy will not be smoothly implemented

"Where to choose?"

Ge~~Er~~Ba~~Qiao~~ Fu's awe-inspiring eyes swept over and over again on the wide world map, but he never found a safe place, and at this moment, a long and narrow blue sea area from north to south came into his eyes, making his eyes suddenly condense, as if he thought of some shameful pain, his awe-inspiring eyes suddenly became cold, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, which was extremely cold:

"China at both ends of the first rat!"

It is no wonder that Ge~~Er~~Ba~~Qiao~~ Fu was a little annoyed with China, just a few months ago he was still a deputy ~~Shu~~Ji Ge~~Er~~Ba~~Qiao~~ In order to seek a higher position, suppress the military, and forcibly stop the Soviet Union's intervention in Vietnam, so as to open a good situation of negotiations with China;

However, what he didn't expect was that China's contact with the Soviet Union was purely a bargaining chip with the United States, and when the pervasive KGB submitted this report to Ge~~Er~~Ba~~Joe~~, the Soviet leader, who was full of poetry and books, finally broke out his bookish anger;

I only feel that I have been greatly humiliated and deceived, since the eldest brother has given you face reconciliation, you don't go around with a fart, and you actually use this as a condition to find another big brother, who do you think you are? You still want to take advantage of the Soviet Union, but there is no door, because of this, under the resolute resentment, Ge~~Er~~Ba~~Qiao~~ resolutely terminated the negotiation process with China.

At the same time, the suppression of the military was also loosened, so the Vietnam Transitional Committee established by the pro-China faction and the Hoa faction, under the strong intervention of the Soviet Union, only existed for less than half a year and then collapsed in a hurry, and the core figure of the main battle faction, Le ~~ bamboo shoots, returned to power with the support of the Soviet Union, and Sino-Vietnamese relations, which had gradually eased, returned to a state of confrontation again.

Due to the position of supporting the main war faction in Vietnam, Ge ~~ Er ~ ~ Ba ~ ~ Qiao ~~ Fu and the tense relationship between the military found a rare common point of interests, and now Ge ~ ~ Er ~ ~ Ba ~ ~ Qiao ~ ~ Fu who is eager to divert the attention of the military once again set his sights on Vietnam, but this time he did not look at the Sino-Vietnamese border that has been repeatedly defeated, but focused his eyes on the vast sea area in southern China, so he smiled, smiled very charmingly, and also very cold

"I really didn't expect that Mr. ~~Shu~~ Ji would agree to our expansion of our military presence in Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam!"

A few hours later, when Go~~Er~~Ba~~Joe~~'s order reached the Soviet Ministry of Defense, Defense Minister Marshal Sokolov was a little stunned, but even with irrepressible excitement, the naval commander Marshal Chernavin sitting next to him was even more excited.

You must know that the Soviet military has long wanted to expand the size of the garrison in Cam Ranh Bay, in order to use the strong fleet advantage, cut off the energy channel of Malacca and the South China Sea, and trap Japan, so that the Soviet Union can achieve absolute superiority in the Far East, but because of the fear of China, this proposal has never been passed, but I did not expect to get the approval of Ge ~~Er~~Ba~~Joe~~, how can this not make the two Soviet marshals excited

"Our plan is to use about three years to expand the military presence in Cam Ranh Bay, and at the same time, instruct the Vietnamese military to establish a stronghold on several islands and reefs such as West ~~Sand and South ~~~Sha, and form a corner with Cam Ranh Bay to form a tight defense system, and then completely control the South China Sea shipping route."

At this moment, Marshal Chernavin unfolded the charts that had been prepared long ago, and talked about his plans in detail like a few treasures, and as he elaborated word by word, an invisible storm gradually brewed over the South ~~ Sea of China (to be continued. )
