Chapter 509: Help

This issue is also the second focus of today's dialogue. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Forty days ago, various forces launched the Gulf War.

As everyone knows, in the 80s, China sold a lot of weapons to Iraq and Iraq, and Iraq alone sold them more than 3,000 Type 59 and Type 69 tanks and Type 63 armored transport vehicles, as well as more than 800 Type 63 armored vehicles, as well as battlefield ambulances, command vehicles, and observation vehicles based on Type 63, which together reached more than 4,000 units.

This list of weapons is very long, such as the Red Arrow Type 3 anti-tank missile that imitates the AT73 missile, the Sea Hawk-2 anti-ship missile that imitates the Soviet Styx anti-ship missile, and the C6 airborne anti-ship missile that can be mounted under the H-801 bomber and other guided weapons, and so on.

The remaining ones include more than 700 107-millimeter rocket launchers, a large number of rockets, 150,000 Type 56 automatic rifles, and so on, with a total transaction value of more than $4 billion. This is more than 4 billion US dollars in the 80s, and Iran and Saudi Arabia do not count, otherwise it cannot be said to have saved China's military industry.

In order to get more orders, China can say that at that time, except for two bombs, all the remaining weapons that could be used appeared on the battlefield in the Middle East.

However, as the multinational force descended over the Gulf, these weapons did little to play.

There may be tactical factors, such as Iraq's loss of air supremacy, but from the perspective of technical factors, the two sides are indeed too different.

There are even pessimistic people who can have such an idea, in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, although the Chinese army used millet plus rifles, it could still hit the American army.

Later, some people changed their way to say that after the end of the Gulf War, China sent experts to understand the situation and found that many of the 69 tanks on the Iraqi battlefield were not damaged, and many of the tanks had complete oil bombs and were intact, mainly because the Iraqi soldiers abandoned the vehicles.

After the war, the multinational forces used these tanks as targets, and the reputation of the 69 tank was ruined in this way, which made many Chinese experts cry.

But the real truth is that the multinational coalition forces carried out more than a month of bombardment, and then launched a ground war, which happened yesterday, and dozens of hours later, the Iraqi army began to collapse, swarming to Kuwait's Highway 6 and fleeing to Iraq.

Highway 6 was quickly clogged up by a large number of Iraqi soldiers and tanks, armoured combat vehicles and wheeled vehicles that had lost their command. Then the air force of the multinational coalition went all out, and countless submunitions, high-explosive, incendiary bombs and aerial artillery shells rained down on the heads of the Iraqi army. The whole road turned into a hellish sight. The wreckage of the Iraqi army's equipment was paved all over the road, stretching for 40 kilometers! The wreckage of tanks and trucks shocked the global audience at the time through the media.

In this case, how can the Iraqi army counterattack with Chinese tanks? That can be said and done, but the previous statement is too.

During the campaign, more than 5,000 Iraqi tanks, armored combat vehicles, and trucks were completely destroyed, including more than 2,000 Chinese-made tanks.

After the war, China sent experts to observe, and one of the experts cried.

But it is not to cry for the misery of the war and the suffering of the Iraqi army, Iraq after more than ten years is still worthy of sympathy, but this year's Iraq is not worthy of sympathy, let alone crying for them.

Nor did they cry bitterly over what happened to the 69 tank.

The reason for crying is because this terrible war model is completely beyond the understanding of the Chinese military, you know, in addition to the purchase of a large number of Chinese weapons, Iraq has also purchased many more advanced Soviet-style weapons, only in terms of equipment, the Chinese army is still far behind the Iraqi army. If such a war befalls China, how will the Chinese army fight it?

It was also because of this that the above old people were completely sobered up, and there was a later catch-up. But at the moment, in addition to being pessimistic, the minds of various bigwigs in the military are still pessimistic, otherwise there will be no talk of Taoguang and obscurity.

Therefore, it is fair to say that after May or Sixth, the mistake is not small, not only the May Eighth disaster, but also the Cultural and Revolution.

Idealization and liberalization have done the most harm to China in science and technology, and although there are two bombs and one satellite, the overall science and technology is not progressing, but is regressing by a large margin.

When Li Mo answered a question just now, he also said that the importance of three-dimensional military is the same as that of Iraq if there is only an army. However, what is three-dimensional military requires not only the air force and navy, but also satellite technology, including satellite navigation technology and future network technology.

But there is no need to be so pessimistic.

The war likewise made the United States feel their inadequacy.

First of all, the most suitable terrain for such a three-dimensional strike is the plain area, which is the plain area in Iraq and Kuwait, and if it were placed in Iran, the effect would not be so significant. So later the United States has always maintained a forbearance attitude towards Iran, of course, the United States can defeat Iran, but the price it can pay will be several times, dozens of times!

If it is placed in China, China's terrain is more complicated, except for the eastern plains, the rest is more complex than Iran's mountainous and plateau terrain, China has made this war afraid, and the United States is also more afraid to use troops against China because of this.

Second, this kind of war was certainly fought well, but the military expenditure was even greater, and in just 40 days of war, the military expenditure of the multinational coalition reached 100 billion US dollars, and if the follow-up expenses were added, it would have to be multiplied by two, and as for the United States, it had to be multiplied by three.

This is against Iraq, and if it is against China, with China's size and terrain, even if China is defeated, it will not be 100 billion US dollars, it may be 10 trillion US dollars, and the United States will not be able to fight at all.

Don't want China, just like Afghanistan later, the United States also withdrew its troops in disgrace.

Or that people are trying to occupy it, and if they don't occupy it, they just destroy it.

What will be the consequences of sabotaging Afghanistan, but destroying China, if China is not occupied and completely defeated, it will all be like that, and there is no need for nuclear weapons?

Therefore, after this war, the United States did not dare to use troops against China, including Russia later. Russia's terrain is not as complex as China's, but when people are big and the area is large, they have enough strategic depth.

But the United States does not dare to bet, Russia does not dare to gamble, and China does not dare to gamble.

Nuclear weapons are expensive to build, and maintenance is even more expensive, so there are not many of them.

The question is not how many there are, but whether China has the ability to send these nuclear weapons to the enemy's soil and "die together" with the enemy.

Well, once you have figured these out, you will know how nervous and embarrassed China is when the US aircraft carrier arrives after the outbreak of the backstage maritime crisis a few years ago.

But when Lao Bu summoned Li Mo, the Gulf War had just broken out.

He said a lot of things that day, some of which were "irrelevant", such as asking about his son's investment, as well as some recent developments of Li Mo.

There are four main ones.

The first is to hope that Li Mo will stop competing with various venture companies in the United States, Li Mo has already made a promise to Bush Jr., and after Li Mo promised again, Bush Sr. did not mention it again.

The second is that he hopes that when Li Mo invests in industry, he will mainly invest in the United States.

How much money Li Mo has, Bush Sr. is not entirely clear.

But knowing that Li Mo and the customers of the three companies under his name have obtained a lot of money in these operations, they have a lot of funds.

Once all these funds can be brought to the United States, it will undoubtedly play a role in helping the American economy.

And unlike the Japanese, who buy the best assets or businesses in the United States. Li Mo also buys, but his purchase is to serve his entrepreneurship, often buying some obsolete technology patents or patent authorizations, and some companies with poor efficiency. What kind of investment would the U.S. welcome?

Li Mo euphemistically said what he was embarrassed about.

At the same time, he also said that in fact, he has played a lot of helpful role in the United States, for example, the companies under Li Mo's name are trying their best to support American exports, not only to China, but also to other countries, such as Rong Dike's toys, Yili's clothing, and the planned overseas box office of movies。

Bush Sr. sighed slightly.

He is not very hostile to China, but many politicians in the United States have a strong hostile attitude towards China. You regard China as an enemy, and China will sooner or later regard you as an enemy.

Is it necessary to confront China?

It is precisely this kind of thinking that he has gradually warmed up Sino-US relations since this year.

In fact, it is difficult to say the benefits of his approach, and if Sino-US relations warm up for more than eight years, China will become seriously dependent on the United States, and the consequences may be even worse.

Third, the elder Bush hoped that Li Mo would bring the CLP Mill to the United States for production.

This kind of lithium battery not only has civilian value, but also has a lot of military value.

Li Mo implicitly refused, saying that it was not only a product of CLPF, but also related to the research and development of various universities, and Li Mo could not call all the shots. Moreover, it is produced in China, and it also has a labor cost advantage.

However, Li Mo also said that if it is needed in the future, Li Mo will use its technology patents to exchange technology with other companies in the United States.

If you want me to give me technology, you have to give me some technology.

In addition, if it is for the US military, Li Mo can give a preferential price of 8 to 9 percent off and sell it to the US military, and will not impose any blockade on the US military.

In fact, Li Mo wants to make money from the United States, where does he have the courage to blockade.

But Li Mo has expressed his stance like this, and the elder Bush has no choice but to say anything.

Fourth, the elder Bush very implicitly asked Li Mo about his views on the US economy.

It's a view, not a strategy for Li Mo to come up with, and it is impossible for Bush Sr. to put his body in this position.

He asked, and Li Mo answered honestly.

The U.S. economy is at a low point for many reasons, American workers' wages are too high, and many industries have fled to Southeast Asia, not China, where there is still not much American capital, and the manufacturing industry has begun to shrink, but this is also an inevitable product.

Stimulated by some of Reagan's economic policies, the U.S. economy grew rapidly, resulting in some bubbles, which led to the occurrence of Black Monday. Although the crisis was resolved later, the U.S. economy began a small recovery in 88 and 89.

But some bubbles have not yet burst, and this is why the economic trough of the early nineties was the normal trend of economic development, and in a few years, it will gradually improve.

In addition, there are some low-profit industries that have moved overseas, so the United States must look for new technologies, which can only keep companies profitable and afford American workers and technicians. And this new technology is about to mature, and that is the IT industry that Li Mo said.

However, Li Mo said honestly that once the IT industry officially starts, it will once again pull the US economy forward and attract foreign investment, but if the US government does not control it properly, it can also form a huge bubble.

However, even if Li Mo said it, it would not work, because it was the Clinton administration at that time, not the Bush administration Sr., but Li Mo said that the Bush father and son were listening, and in the future, the Bush father and son will certainly arouse the good impression of the Bush father and son towards him.

Of course, Li Mo talked a lot with Bush Sr. that day, and also said some interesting anecdotes in the entertainment industry, and there was no need for Li Mo to confess.

"It turns out that the U.S. economy is also in trouble?"

"We are farmers who don't even have enough to eat, so we don't have to worry about whether people can afford to buy a car. Li Mo said.

Several leaders laughed.

Another leader said solemnly: "Xiao Li, that can't give advice for the United States." ”

Li Mo pretended to be stunned, looked at him, and said: "The main reason why Bush Sr. summoned me was that his son had some investments, and he had made good returns over the years, and of course, this was also the reason why he summoned me in a low-key manner. ”

It's low-key, but it's not a "secret".

The United States has many spies in China and has cultivated countless "demon seeds".

China does not have American cattle, but it is not the master who is waiting to be killed, and it also has its own spy personnel. Of course, Bush Sr. is not afraid of others impeaching him, as long as he says that this meeting is for a genius named Li Mo to analyze the war and the US economy from the perspective of a bystander, then those who oppose Bush Sr. will not be able to oppose it, but in the same way, they will not be able to hide it from China.

"In addition, the U.S. economy does worry him, and he may not listen to me, but it can be used as a small reference, but my investment is the most important thing to him compared to my proposal. ”

However, the U.S. economy has indeed had serious problems in recent years, and it can be seen through housing prices that since Black Monday in '87, U.S. housing prices have plummeted all the way until 9697, and the lowest trough is almost the same as the ultra-low house prices in the early 80s.

That was the main reason he summoned me. In addition, in the Korean battlefield in the 50s and the Vietnam battlefield in the 60s, the United States lost one after another, and the Gulf War had just started at that time, and he had no bottom in his heart, so he said something that seemed very boring to me. As for what I do? I don't think I'm that capable, and you don't think I'm that capable. If I really have the ability, why doesn't the state come to me for advice? The same is true for Bush Sr., otherwise it would not have been a private meeting, and many high-ranking US officials would come over and consult me on that day. So the one who made the suggestion was a joke in itself. ”

"Let's help the United States somewhat. ”

"Maybe if they can adopt it, maybe they can help a little, but will they adopt the strategy and plan that a Chinese hairy boy said? If I don't adopt it, how can I help, just like I want to kill people in my heart, but I just think, without any actual action, can the state punish me with the law?"

In fact, what Li Mo wants to say most is that in ancient and modern times, few people can be selfless, willing to contribute, and love the country and the people.

Everyone has their own plan, and when the time is right, we must also learn to seek satisfaction with grievances, and I must seek satisfaction with appropriate grievances at home, and I must also be properly wronged and seek perfection abroad, this is forced, is it difficult to understand?

But I'm really worried.

Once Li Mo "betrayed", the impact would be too great.

Li Mo didn't betray, and the group didn't continue to ask.

One of the military leaders asked: "Li Mo, are you cooperating with some military children of the Soviet Union?"

"There's such a thing. Li Mo said.

Petrov and they had already set up banks and started to take deposits. It won't take long for these deposits to turn into various gold and gems and flow into Li Mo's hands.

And it won't be long before all kinds of technical data will be transported to the ports in the Northeast.

"What kind of cooperation?"

"Do you want me to answer that?"

"Xiao Li, can you get some information on military technology?"

Li Mo's face suddenly darkened.
