Australia's military bases in the Middle East and Western Europe, this is our country's bottom line, Ye Chen already knew about it, so naturally he didn't have to ask again. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info However, the other two military bases, Ye Chen was very curious, where are they?

Obviously, what our country wants is very important, and the United States must be very painful.

"One in the Middle East, one in Eastern Europe." Donald Road.

"The Middle East? Eastern Europe? Why so? Ye Chen asked puzzled.

In the bottom line, there is a military base in the Middle East, and then there is a base in the Middle East, and the impact on the country should not be too great. As for Eastern Europe, Ye Chen was even more puzzled.

Europe can be simply divided into Western Europe and Eastern Europe. Western Europe is the backyard of the United States, that is, part of the developed countries of the West.

Eastern Europe, that's the poor part of Europe, most of the poor European countries are here.

"I'll tell you more about it." Tang Lao patiently explained to Ye Chen, "The strategic value of the Middle East is too great, both in terms of geographical location and economic value, it is very important. It is not only the intersection of three continents, but also the main source of oil. It is also the place where the major powers have the most fierce game, so it has the nickname of 'powder keg', and it has always been a hot spot in the world, and this is the reason. ”

Admiral Liu specially explained to Ye Chen the importance of the Middle East, and Ye Chen knew this very well.

"However, the Middle East is very large, and we want two military bases, one in the north of the Middle East and one in the south of the Middle East, so that one south and one north can cover the entire Middle East region." Tang Lao then explained, "The advantage of this is that we can intervene in the Middle East affairs on a larger scale, and at the same time, we can better support each other. ”

"Makes sense." Ye Chen agreed with this statement.

When we talk about the Middle East, it is a very general term, and if we subdivide it, the Middle East is very particular. If there is only one military base in the Middle East, then our country's ability to intervene in Middle East affairs will be limited, and if there is one more military base, our country's presence in the Middle East will be much larger, and the force to intervene in Middle East affairs will be much greater, and its influence will be greater.

"Xiao Ye, you also know that our country is adjusting its overseas strategy, and if we want to restart the Silk Road, we need to maintain a military base in the northern Middle East." Tang Lao added: "The traditional Silk Road is to pass through the strait, that is, the northern part of the Middle East, and it is of great significance to maintain a military presence here. ”

Ye Chen was not very clear, and said, "Old Tang, can you be more detailed?" ”

"Well, not many people really know about this." Tang Lao nodded and said: "Since Zhang Jian, a famous minister of the Han Dynasty, sent an envoy to the Western Regions, chiseled out the sky and Fan, and officially opened the Silk Road, the Silk Road is the only land passage connecting our country and Western Europe, and this is a golden channel. Later, it was blocked by the Ottoman Empire, and Western European countries sailed in order to obtain our country's silk, tea, porcelain, and spices of Asan, and there was the Age of Discovery. Suppose that our country had a military base in the northern Middle East at that time, and the military could intervene to force the Ottoman Empire not to dare to block the Silk Road, then the history of the world would be rewritten. ”

The Age of Discovery, which had a great impact on Europe and had a great impact on world history.

It was through the Age of Discovery, when Europe plundered and carried out massacres on a global scale, plundered countless wealth, and completed primitive accumulation, that it had the later era of great capitalist development.

Without the Age of Discovery, would Europe have risen?

Definitely not.

It was the Ottoman Empire that spurred European countries to embark on great voyages, blocking the traditional land trade routes, known as the Silk Road.

"Of course, our country didn't realize this at the time, and we didn't have the strength to stop it." Tang Lao's face was solemn, and he said very seriously: "However, this kind of historical mistake is painful enough, and we must not let history repeat itself." Now that our country is restarting the Silk Road, we must maintain sufficient deterrent forces. ”

Ye Chen nodded heavily, agreeing with this statement.

Our country has a history of humiliation for more than 100 years in modern decline, from whom does it originate?

Many attribute it to the incompetence of the Qing Dynasty. This is also the reason, the Qing Dynasty is indeed incompetent. However, this is not the source, the source is in the Age of Sail, it was in the Ottomans that blocked the Silk Road.

If we want to restart the Silk Road now, we must maintain a strong military presence on the Silk Road, otherwise, people will block it if they want to.

Without deterrence of power, there are no guarantees!

"Donald, according to what you say, we also have military bases in Eastern Europe, which is also related to the Silk Road, right?" Ye Chen understood, and said: "After the Silk Road passes through the strait, it passes through Eastern Europe and enters Western Europe. ”

"Xiaoye, you're good! You can draw inferences from others, and you deserve to be an outstanding scientist in our country! Donald was very appreciative and said with a smile: "It is precisely for this consideration that our country wants a military base in Eastern Europe. ”

Ye Chen's reaction was indeed quite fast, Tang Lao only said the importance of the military base in the northern Middle East, and he could think of the purpose of the military base in Eastern Europe.

"Donald, according to what you say, we still have one military base missing, and there can be no shortage of military bases in Central Asia." Ye Chen thought of a very important question.

"Huh." Tang Lao let out a burst of hearty laughter, gave Ye Chen a thumbs up, and said, "Xiao Ye, you are really good, you are really good, you have bypassed." ”

The Silk Road is very important, and if our country wants to restart the Silk Road, it must pass through Central Asia, and if there are no military bases, it will be troublesome.

"Don't dare to be." Ye Chen said humbly.

"But, Xiaoye, your worries are unnecessary." Donald's words changed sharply.

"What do you mean by that?" Ye Chen was stunned, one moment, Tang Lao was still praising him, and the next moment he didn't agree with his statement, Ye Li really couldn't figure it out.

"The first reason is that we are not afraid of the threat of the Central Asian countries." Tang Lao explained, "Xiao Ye, do you know? Our ancestors fought with the Arab Empire for Central Asia as early as the Tang Dynasty. Gao Xianzhi, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, led the Tang army to fight in the territory of the Arab Empire. Although the Tang Dynasty eventually failed, the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire fought for Central Asia for decades, and not only did not fall behind, but also gained the upper hand. ”

The Arab Empire was going eastward, and the Tang Dynasty was going westward, when the two most powerful empires in the world met in Central Asia and fought for decades. The Tang Dynasty dealt a heavy blow to the Arab Empire.

With the decline of the Tang Dynasty, this struggle came to an end.

Ye Chen didn't know much about history, and he didn't know this history, so he was very surprised. However, Ye Chen did not doubt Tang Lao's words, what a person like Tang Lao said must be true.

"The Tang Dynasty was able to compete for Central Asia, let alone now." Ye Chen was very excited.

"That's right." Donald said: "The second reason is that the Central Asian countries are looking forward to our country restarting the Silk Road, because Central Asian countries have always been the beneficiaries of the Silk Road. Xiaoye, do you know how rich the oil and water of the Silk Road are? ”

"This ...... I really don't know. Although there is a history of the Silk Road in the history textbooks of primary schools, Ye Chen really doesn't know how rich the oil and water on the Silk Road is.

There are many people like Ye Chen who are not clear.

"Xiaoye, do you know the Turks?" Donald asked suddenly.

"Turkic? Donald, what do you ask for? Ye Chen was very surprised, Tang Lao was explaining to him the current international strategy, how he suddenly talked about the nomads in history, and said: "The Turks were powerful nomads in the north during the Sui and Tang dynasties, which once posed a huge threat to the Sui and Tang dynasties, and were later destroyed by Tang Taizong. ”

"Not exactly. To be precise, Tang Taizong exterminated the Eastern Turks. With the Eastern Turks, of course there were the Western Turks, and the Western Turks were destroyed by Tang Gaozong Li Zhi. Tang Lao continued to analyze and said: "As for how the Turks were divided, it has nothing to do with what I want to explain to you, so I won't talk about it." Let me tell you how the Turks developed, and you will know how rich the Silk Road was. The Turks were originally a nomadic tribe in Central Asia, this tribe was very shrewd, and when they saw that the Silk Road was very rich in oil and water, they bought and resold the silk, tea, porcelain, and spices of Ah San in our country at a low price and sold them to the West at a high price. In the same way, they bought Western goods and sold them to our country and Ah San, and earned the difference in price from them, accumulating huge wealth. Then, the Turks used the money to recruit troops and horses, and they grew rapidly. After the strong Turks, they began to march eastward, fighting eastward until the coast of the East China Sea. When the Turks were at their strongest, they reached the East China Sea in the east and Central Asia in the west, spanning thousands of miles. ”

Ye Chen was shocked and said, "The Silk Road can make the Turkic empire rise, and you can imagine how rich the oil and water are. Therefore, the Central Asian countries are looking forward to the resumption of the Silk Road in our country and want to get a piece of the pie. Moreover, the countries of Central Asia are relatively small and have nothing to fear. ”

"Correct solution!" Donald tapped his hands lightly, very appreciative.

The Turks, a powerful nomadic people in our history textbooks, have risen with the help of the Silk Road, and you can think of how rich the oil and water of the Silk Road is.

The current Central Asian countries are far from being so powerful, they are all very small, and they don't have the strength to make trouble even if they want to. Moreover, they are still looking forward to getting a share of the benefits, only for the sake of and for the maintenance, so there is no need to worry.

"Donald, although the talks are now complete. But in the next handover, with the bad intentions of the United States to the bone, it will definitely make it bad, and it wants to delay, even Laipi, what are you going to do? Ye Chen furrowed his brows and pondered.

For the first time in the history of the United States, a military base was traded. Although the United States had this idea at the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis, it was not implemented after all. Now that it is truly implemented, the United States will certainly not be reconciled, and it will be bad, delayed, or even relied upon.

"Good! You can see it! Donald gave a thumbs up, appreciative, and said, "Naturally, we have to find a way to prevent the US conspiracy from succeeding." But if you can give us some help, so much the better. ”

"Donald, that's why you called me today, right?" Ye Chen was stunned.

"There's a reason for that, and there's a reason to tell you the good news." Donald did not deny it.

"I know what to do. I'll take out a few production lines to produce export models, and let them grab and fight. Ye Chen smiled evilly.

"Hey, hey." Donald also laughed with ill intentions.

Photonic chips are very important, everyone wants to occupy more, and Ye Chen will not take out a lot, so there is a fight. At that time, will the United States dare to drag it out any longer?

"By the way, Donald, we have recovered the Diaoyu Islands, what is the movement of the Japanese side?" Ye Chen remembered Diaoyu Island and asked curiously.
