Chapter 823 - None of them are fuel-efficient lamps!
The United States can't lose!
This view of the Count of Strauce was fully agreed with by Madame de Montestina.
Indeed, since the end of World War II, when the United States became the biggest winner, the United States has lost two wars in which China participated. And both wars were also backed by the shadow of the Soviet Union.
The whole world knows what kind of strategic alliance the Eastern Union has with China and the Soviet Union.
If the United States had figured out that Guò had solved the Eastern Union by force, it would have faced the same level of power as the Korean War and the Vietnam War, and at the same time faced the constraints of China and the Soviet Union.
There is even a risk that it will not have the support of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth members.
The national strength and military strength of the Eastern Union are far from being comparable to those of North Korea and Vietnam.
No matter how the US government analyzes and calculates the final results, there is only one answer: failure!
Therefore, neither Reagan nor the White House staff, including the Pentagon generals, dared to gamble. Because in the event of defeat, it would be tantamount to giving up the throne of world hegemony to the Soviet Union and the Eastern Union, and the United States should never again think of raising its head in the international community.
In particular, now that the United States has mastered the voiceprint characteristics of the US "Lobinji" class attack nuclear submarines, the United States has weakened its chances of winning the battle for sea supremacy in the face of the Oriental Union's sea attack, and the US Government is even more afraid to gamble.
After the analysis reports of the two major intelligence agencies, MI5 and MI6, were submitted to the Home Secretary and the Foreign Secretary, the British Cabinet soon issued a report signed by the Home Secretary and the Foreign Secretary entitled "A Comprehensive Analysis of the Strategic Partnership between Britain and the Eastern Union Union" and presented it to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
After seeing this article, the Iron Lady immediately invited Yang Weiping, who was still a guest at Field Castle, to No. 10 Downing Street.
Margaret Thatcher warmly led Yang Weiping on a tour of the old British building, known as "the most precious jewel of all England's historical heritage", and finally came to the Prime Minister's private office to meet Yang Weiping alone.
I don't know whether Thatcherf intentionally or unintentionally, the screen of the right-angle flat 29-inch color TV in the office is broadcasting a fierce shootout in the city of Aleppo, Aleppo Province, Syria.
News presenter in Syria. It was made clear that this was a vicious incident in which two agents of unknown nationality engaged in a fight on the streets of Aleppo, Syria, and that at least 27 Syrian civilians, police officers and foreign tourists had been killed or injured in the shootout as of the time of the news broadcast.
Agents of unknown nationality fighting in other countries have not been big news since the Cold War was formed.
Merely. The scale of the shootout that took place today in the Syrian city of Aleppo is significantly larger and more intense than before. In addition to the live news, Syrian state television also published a photo report. A suspected U.S. Navy SEAL team attacked a farmstead in Homs, killing eleven suspected U.S. agents and missing one more.
Yang Weiping seemed to be very interested in news reports, and after walking into the office, he never took his eyes off the TV screen.
"Yang, don't you think. Both the American and Soviet agents were too fierce in this conflict?" Margaret Thatcher asked, standing in front of the television with her elbows in her hands, looking at the picture report on the screen.
"Madame, how can you be sure that this is a spy war between agents of the United States and the Soviet Union?" Yang Weiping asked knowingly and solemnly.
"Quite simply, no country or government has dared to engage in a shootout of an urban battle of this magnitude in another sovereign country, except for the Soviet Union and the United States, so brazenly. Mrs. Thatcher looked at Yang Weiping with deep meaning in her eyes and said: "With your vision and knowledge, Yang, I don't believe you can't even think of such a simple question. Maybe. You're trying to hide something, right?"
Yang Weiping secretly became vigilant. On the surface, he pretended to be very innocent, and asked in a daze, "What do I want to hide? Why don't I even know myself? Madam, what do you mean by that?"
"The voiceprint signature of the USS Jack Wieson, a Lobinji-class attack nuclear submarine of the United States Navy. Mrs. Thatcher's eyes were fixed on Yang Weiping's face, but her tone was rather flat and she replied with a smile.
"Hehe, it turns out that Madame is talking about this. Yang Weiping suddenly smiled and said: "Last time in the Bay of Bengal, the reason why I insisted on refusing to let go of the 'Jack Wieson' lightly. The purpose is to get the voiceprint characteristics of this US Navy's 'Lobinji' class attack nuclear submarine. The officers and men of our Eastern Union Navy did not disappoint me. Madame, we are old friends, that's why I told you this, and when I go out of this door, I will never admit even a word of what I just said. Even if you had an audio recording here, I wouldn't admit it. ”
"Yes. If I were to say that, I would have thought they were bragging. Margaret Thatcher nodded with a smile and said, "If the voiceprint signature of an attack nuclear submarine is so easy to get hold of by other countries, then it will not be called a strategic sophisticated weapon." The technical background of the Oriental Union Navy in sonar and computers can be deservedly called the world's first-rate. ”
"The growth of the Oriental Union Navy is inseparable from the careful teaching and training of the Royal Navy of your country. Yang Weiping nodded very humbly and smiled.
"Yang, the Royal Navy also needs a copy of the voiceprint characteristics of the U.S. Navy's 'Lobinji' class attack nuclear submarines!" Thatcher said with a solemn expression: "You can mention what conditions are needed." ”
"Let's talk about this matter after our agents have safely handed over the voiceprint signature data to the Soviet side. Yang Weiping smiled noncommittally and said indifferently: "With Madame's wisdom, I believe you can understand what I mean." ”
What a cunning "little old fox"!
Mrs. Thatcher secretly sighed in her heart, the nickname "Little Old Fox" with praise was given to Yang Weiping by Elizabeth II, and the Iron Lady expressed her great agreement with the nickname given by Her Majesty the Queen.
Yang Weiping's meaning just now was very clear: After the Soviet side gets the voiceprint signature data of the US Navy's "Lobinji" class attack nuclear submarine, if this information spreads around the world, Yang Weiping can put all the blame on the Soviets and put the Eastern Union and this matter aside.
As for whether the Iron Lady would sell him to the Americans, Yang Weiping automatically chose to ignore it.
Because Yang Weiping is confident enough, the US-British alliance on this plane has long been in vain, and the relationship between Thatcher and Reagan is unlikely to be as close as in the previous life.
"Yang, why did you choose to set the location of the intelligence transfer in Syria?" asked Margaret Thatcher, looking at Yang Weiping in confusion.
"I really don't know about this, I promise!" Yang Weiping replied very seriously: "I never interfere in the affairs of the intelligence department. How they interacted with Soviet intelligence officers, I didn't know anything until then. ”
"Syria has always been pro-Soviet and has territorial disputes with Israel, and both the United States and the Soviet Union have their own advantages in Syria. Yang, your director Qiufang chose the location of the intelligence handover in Syria, which is indeed painstaking, really clever!" Thatcher praised with emotion, and after finishing speaking, she also gave Yang Weiping a thumbs up.
"Your country's MI5 and MI6 intelligence sources are also very well-informed. Yang Weiping reciprocated with a smile and flattered: "You can get the exact information on the voiceprint characteristics of the 'Jack Wieson' so quickly, and I believe that you not only have an intelligence network in the United States, but also a huge underground intelligence network in the Soviet Union." ”
"Hehe, that's what you said, I didn't say it. Margaret Thatcher apparently did not intend to go further on such a sensitive topic, but smiled and changed the subject: "Yang, do you think the KGB will succeed in bringing this strategic-level intelligence back to the Soviet Union?"
"The Americans will definitely do everything possible to intercept at any cost. Yang Weiping gloated and said: "Madam, don't you think that letting the two superpowers of the United States and the Soviet Union properly collide is completely in line with the needs of the development of a multipolar world?"
"Are you really worried about the escalation of the conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union?" said Margaret Thatcher with a nonchalant smile.
"If such a small incident had triggered a full-scale war between the United States and the Soviet Union, World War III would have broken out long ago. Yang Weiping shook his head disapprovingly and smiled: "This time, during my visit to the Soviet Union, I heard Andropov tell me a story. ”
"Can you tell me about it?" asked Margaret Thatcher, nodding with a little interest.
"Absolutely. Yang Weiping nodded without hesitation and smiled: "The United States has launched a 'Star Wars program' against the Soviet Union, I think Mrs. must be the one who knows about this, right?"
Thatcher nodded slightly, but did not answer.
Yang Weiping pretended to have a mysterious expression on his face, and said: "The Soviet side sacrificed a large number of agents lurking in the United States, and even one of them was a lieutenant general of the Pentagon, and finally got the blueprint content of the 'Star Wars Project'. For this 'Star Wars project', the Soviet Union summoned all kinds of experts from all over the Union to conduct arguments, and finally came to a conclusion. ”
"What conclusion?" asked Margaret Thatcher, visibly nervous.
"This is a scam!" Yang Weiping said solemnly: "They believe that the real purpose of Reagan's plan is to give the Soviet Union the illusion that 'the Americans want to take the lead in missile defense technology,' and thus drag the Soviet Union into the trap of economic crisis." If the Soviet Union had made a judgment that it would have to keep up with the pace of US missile defense and that it would have to spend billions of dollars a year on arms procurement and research and development, then the Soviet Union's industrial modernization reform plan would have been seriously delayed. ”
"Is that really what Andropov said?" said Thatcher, though she tried to hide her inner turmoil, her tone was palpably anxious.
"Hmm!" Yang Weiping nodded vigorously with great certainty. (To be continued......)
