Chapter 654: The U.S. Imperialist Wants to Make a Wishful Calculation

As far as the United States is concerned, the military government that came to help Win Nai in the first place and drew a 20-degree ceasefire line in South Burma was just an idle move to alert China's rapid rise.

In this era, the core circle of interests of the United States is not in the Indian Ocean, but in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.

Dismembering the Soviet Union at any cost and by any means is the most important thing Reagan and Margaret Thatcher want to do at the moment.

In recent years, Northern Myanmar has not been very active in the international community, and even if its national strength has increased year by year, it has never stirred up trouble in the international political arena. Although it is said that Baron John Young, an internationally renowned person, is engaged in scientific and technological development and economic construction in North Burma, no matter how much it develops, it will not pose a threat to the United States.

The reason why Reagan decided to convene this emergency meeting on an impromptu basis was that Northern Burma and China had received a lot of benefits from the United States in recent years, and he felt that it was necessary to use this opportunity to knock on His Excellency the Baron, who had been rumored to be almost miraculous by the global scientific community. Let him know that Northern Burma can achieve what it is today because of the acquiescence and connivance of the United States.

Secretary of the Air Force Russell Rourke seemed to hear President Reagan's words, so he took the opportunity to take over the topic and said, "Mr. President, I would like to remind you that although it is necessary for us to win over North Burma, the military power that the North Burmese have shown in this act of war is really incredible. According to the exact information we have, the latest Jian-15 fighter that they have successfully developed jointly with Huaxia is not only a land-based type, but also a carrier-based type. Its comprehensive combat power is not much worse than our F15 and Super Hornet.

What does this mean? This shows that the technical and tactical level of the North Burmese Air Force has been raised to the point that it is the strongest force besides us, at least in the Asia-Pacific region. The reason why I don't mention the Huaxia Air Force is because I think that the North Burmese Air Force is very likely to become an important part of the Huaxia Air Force in the future! If this happens, we can't even guarantee that we will be able to absolutely suppress them in the Asia-Pacific region!"

The originally relaxed and optimistic expressions of Bush Sr., Weinberg, Schultz, and others gradually retracted, and Reagan's face became extremely solemn and asked sternly: "Our F15 and Super Hornet can't compete with the J-15 developed by North Burma and Huaxia? What are you kidding? If the Chinese are really that powerful." Why would their Air Force be willing to spend billions of dollars to knock off Grumman's F14?"

Russell Locke said with a wry smile: "Mr. President, although I don't want to admit it, but the J-14 Raptor that the Chinese people have successfully copied the F14, its advanced and comprehensive combat power is no less than or even slightly stronger than Grumman's F14 improvement.

As everyone knows. The rapid improvement and development of the Chinese in the field of aviation science and technology originated from one person, and this person is also the actual controller of the North Burmese regime. Because Huaxia was anxious to improve the material living standards of its people, it dismantled a number of military heavy industry chains and changed them into light industrial chains specializing in the production of civilian materials. And these military heavy industry projects that were dismounted and closed were all moved to North Burma by the baron.

According to the CIA's exact information, the overall scientific research level and strength of the Royal Academy of Sciences of North Burma, especially its research and development capabilities in the field of new materials and computers. It has surpassed Huaxia and us. Take the latest mobile phones and personal computers that you are using today, for example, all the practical patented technologies are in the hands of the Royal Academy of Sciences of North Burma. I've seen a joint report from companies like Grumman, General Motors, and Hewlett-Packard, all of which want to get the engine technology, electronic component technology, and missile technology that they need from Northern Burma. This is enough to show that in these areas, North Myanmar and China have gone even further than we may be. ā€

Vice President George H.W. Bush nodded slowly and said, "I deeply agree with Secretary Locke's concerns. An important reason for the rapid development of Northern Burma in recent years is that they have introduced a large number of industrial workers, demobilized soldiers and ordinary immigrants from China. The RAND Corporation recently submitted a statistical report. In Northern Burma, the number of Chinese immigrants has reached 45 million. Far more than the local population of Northern Burma. In a sense, Northern Burma has become a de facto bridgehead facing the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean.

To be honest, I don't particularly understand why the Huaxia people can burst out with such amazing power after such a decade-long chaos. Although there are still differences in ideology in China, such differences do not exist at all in Northern Burma. Maybe. The top leader of China is in Na Nyanmar as a real yĆ n field, which can be corroborated by the newly established new Tengchong Special Economic Zone in China. ā€

"What does Mr. Vice President mean is that the suppression and exclusion of Baron John Young by the top level of Huaxia is actually a smoke bomb released by Huaxia wanting to expand into Burma?" Weinberg looked at Bush Sr. with a deep frown and asked: "This speculation of the vice president is not something that no one has imagined before, but." The free economic market system promoted by John Young in Northern Burma is an out-and-out Western capitalist camp system. The support given by the government of North Burma to the development of the private sector is greater and more thorough than that of China. There is still an essential difference between this kind of political and economic system and the ongoing reform of the market economic system in China. More importantly, the blow dealt by the government of North Burma to the Communist Party of Burma is obvious to all!"

"Didn't the CPA also wag war against the Viet Cong, which also belonged to the socialist camp?" Bush Sr. said with a disapproving smile: "The CPM's troops are still stationed in Vietnam today! What we did not do at the beginning, the CPAM has done." Although the Chinese Communist Party has always claimed to the outside world that it resolutely does not expand and does not hegemon, did not their actions in the Vietnam-South War greatly exceed our expectations? In addition, gentlemen, I have to draw your attention to the fact that Baron John Yang is related to the two founding fathers of the high-level Chinese people, Deng and Yeh. And the influence of Deng and Ye in the Chinese political arena, I don't think I need to say more, right?"

"Mr. Vice President, what you say may be true. Schultz smiled and said: "However, how can Baron John Yang make a big investment in Taiwan and his personal close relationship with the Taiwan government? Could it be that this is also the instruction of the top level of the Communist Party of China? Is it their conspiracy to peacefully dissolve Taiwan and Taiwan through economic means?"

Seeing that Reagan and the others were looking at him, Bush Sr. shook his head with a sigh and said, "This is also something I still can't understand." John Yang had secret contact with President Chiang in Taiwan eight years ago, and he even told President Chiang that he must implement a one-party dictatorship in Taiwan and resolutely not let go of the precept of democratic government. This is obviously not in the interests of the Chinese Communist Party. ā€

"Mr. Vice President, why don't you think that Baron John Young's establishment of influence in Northern Burma is in essence weakening China's industrial and scientific and technological strength?" Weinberg obviously disagreed with Bush Sr.'s viewpoint and asked very seriously: "Shouldn't the new Tengchong Special Economic Zone, which is backed by Northern Burma, become an opportunity to split and dismember China? You must know that the top level of the Communist Party of China has always adhered to the national policy of reform and opening up first in the east and then in the west, but when Baron John Yang was in charge of the government's economic work in China, he emphasized the large-scale development of the western region. ā€

When Reagan heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said in a slightly raised tone: "Gentlemen, is it possible for us to guide North Burma to expand northward? For example, to turn the provinces of Yunnan, Tibet, and Gui in China into the personal domain of His Excellency the Baron?"

Air Force Minister Locke nodded and said, "With the existing military strength of North Burma, it will definitely not be satisfied with a unified Burma." Judging from the current expansion ambitions of the government of Northern Burma, it is very likely that it will leave the Bay of Bengal in the west and enter Thailand in the east. As for heading north, it depends on whether Baron John Yang and Huaxia will eventually turn against each other. ā€

Bush Sr. smiled schemingly and said slowly: "Isn't Huaxia sending people to secretly investigate whether there is a deeper strategic cooperation between Northern Burma and Taiwan, I think that as friends, we can help the Huaxia people." ā€

Several important members of the Cabinet, including Reagan, agreed with Bush Sr.'s proposal, and Schultz laughed even more happily: "I now very much want to know how Deng and Ye would react if the top level of the Chinese Communist Party knew that North Burma planned to help Taiwan develop its navy and air force." ā€

Weinberg also smiled a little gloatingly: "If we are to further cultivate the expansionist ambitions of Monsieur Baron, I think we can pretend that we do not know anything in the case of South Burma." When Mr. Baron's reunification of the whole of Burma is a fait accompli, and we make a nonsensical statement at the United Nations, I think that Mr. Baron will be able to appreciate the goodwill and friendship of the United States. ā€

Reagan nodded and said, "The long-term strategy for Northern Burma can be determined in this way, but this time, it is better for me to properly grasp Northern Burma." Of course, it is also necessary to be measured, and it is said that the Baron has a particularly sensitive national pride, and it would be bad if it was self-defeating and made him think that he was not friendly to the United States. ā€

Locke didn't think about it and said: "This is not simple, let the governments of India and Thailand come forward to denounce the hegemonic expansionism of Northern Burma. ā€

Bush Sr. shook his head and said: "Forget about Thailand, after all, North Burma is more than a little stronger than Thailand militarily." The massive development of the navy and air force in North Burma has indeed posed a threat to India's homeland security, and it can make the Indian government speak strongly, and it would be great if it could provoke a military confrontation between North Burma and India on the border between the two countries. ā€

"What if it triggers a border war between North Burma and India?" Schultz asked thoughtfully: "As far as I know, North Burma has been developing friendly bilateral trade with Pakistan in recent years, and has also cooperated with China to help Pakistan formulate a plan for the development of the Pakistan Air Force. India's representative at the United Nations has been strongly protesting against this. (To be continued......)
