Chapter 015 Country to Country

Above the clouds, a formation of fighter jets was escorting a heavy bomber north. This is exactly the car that Xiao Chen took when he returned to China after this trip to Burma, and this fighter formation is a formation that takes off halfway to escort, and the range of the fighters is not as good as that of heavy bombers, so the escort operation is a relay of three bō, which is the last bō.

In the cabin, Xiao Chen was holding a military communicator and talking to people with a smile: "Uncle Hou, you are digging a little too obvious in this corner, right?" I stayed in Jiangdong, but there are arrangements. ”

Hou Dongxiang's hearty laughter came from the communicator: "How can I call digging your corner?" He, Li Yunxin, is still not a cadre of our Commission for Discipline Inspection? He, the secretary of the Jiangdong Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, is he still under the leadership of our Central Commission for Discipline Inspection? Besides, what's your arrangement? It's nothing more than to leave him to deter Jiangdong Xiaoxiao! …… You can rest assured that Koto is very stable! With You Jing in charge of you, what are you worried about? Take 10,000 steps back, Li Yunxin and I have been transferred, isn't there still Yue Qinglan? I'll tell you the truth, if you weren't worried about pumping too many of your people, you would sue me for the trick, I would have been transferred to the capital with Yue Qinglan! ”

Xiao Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Uncle Hou, you are really welcome...... Okay, Yunxin, you can transfer to the capital, but the deputy secretary is a little too much, right? ”

"What's going on?" Hou Dong smiled over there: "Do you think he is not capable enough?" ”

Xiao Chen subconsciously shook his head: "That's not it." ”

"Then you're just worried about other people's gossip, worried that others will say that I, Hou Dongxiang, and you Xiao Chen have joined forces to be nepotistic, right?" Hou Dongxiang snorted: "I'm not afraid of any gossip, Li Yunxin's resume and achievements are obvious to all, as for age, it's not a problem, it's an advantage!" You're in the Politburo now, who says anything about your age? It's just that your young age is an advantage! Li Yunxin is the same, I think this young man is good, and now he is just coming to the center to exercise. ”

Xiao Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly, Li Yunxin was no longer a young man, but his son was a young man......

"Why don't you speak? The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's request for adjustment has already been reported to your Central Organization Department, so don't get stuck with me! Hou Dongxiang saw that Xiao Chen didn't answer, and couldn't help but admonish.

Xiao Chen naturally knew that the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's request for adjustment had been reported to their Central Organization Department, and if he hadn't seen this, he wouldn't have known that Hou Dongxiang was going to transfer Li Yunxin to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection as deputy secretary. However, the number of deputy secretaries of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection is relatively large, and Li Yunxin's promotion of the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Jiangdong Province, an important province, to the deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection at the bottom of the ranking is not very conspicuous.

Xiao Chen then hummed: "I left Beijing for four days, and after returning to Beijing today, I will go to Zhongnanhai to report, and tomorrow I will hold a ministerial meeting to deal with this situation...... But Uncle Hou, in terms of the Politburo, I can't get a ticket, if you don't have confidence, let's not lose this person, I will reject this request tomorrow. ”

"Look at what you say, don't worry about the Politburo, I'll go and give them a briefing. The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has adjusted a deputy secretary, and my words as a secretary are still the main opinion. Hou Dongxiang said with certainty.

"Okay, then I'll know how to do it." Xiao Chen responded.

"Well, okay, that's it, I'm researching in Sichuan now, I won't tell you more now, let's talk about it when I go back to Beijing." With that, he hung up the phone.

Xiao Chen, who hung up the phone, began to write for today's report to the Central Committee.

Myanmar's economy is backward, its military is weak, and its geographical location is important, which is like a child holding jewelry, which will naturally arouse the coveted of greedy people. The United States, India, Japan, Russia, and other major powers in the world all want to get a kick in this important strategic chā and control this key quickly.

The desire for this key is strongest in the United States. After the "11 September" incident, the United States successively used troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the transfer of a large number of US troops, the deployment of ships, and the supply of materials all passed through the Strait of Malacca. On this important shipping route, the US hawks do not want to see the disobedient military regime of Burma, and on several occasions they want to take advantage of the convenience of transporting troops to carry out surgical strikes against the Burmese government. It's just that the American people still have the shadow of the Vietnam War, and the politicians are jealous, so they don't do it. This shows the wolf ambitions of the United States for Burma. Once the United States takes control of Burma one day, it will cut off or control the economic and trade exchanges and military exchanges between the countries bordering the two oceans, and it will become a dream to contain China from the south. Now and in the future, the United States will not give up on the repression it faces, unless the Burmese regime succumbs.

In the face of Myanmar's important strategic location, India is not far behind. In recent years, India's aspirations of becoming a world power have been growing day by day, and it has taken China as an "example" everywhere and secretly competed with China. Faced with the close strategic relationship between China and Myanmar, India began to consider a change in policy. In recent years, China has gradually strengthened its diplomatic and military ties with Burma, gradually infiltrated Myanmar economically and militarily, and dreamed of controlling this key to ensure that China could not form a strategic encirclement of India in the region.

Japan, on the other hand, is using its economic power to exert influence over Myanmar.

Russia, while influencing Myanmar economically, is also rumored to help Myanmar develop nuclear reactors, which shows its influence on Myanmar.

Myanmar's own problems such as political instability and ethnic contradictions have also provided an excuse for external forces to intervene.

Who will control Myanmar's two oceans? Can Myanmar itself defuse the pressure from the world's major powers, including the United States? To whom is the United States dancing with its sword?

The purpose of the military exercise, which "mainly focuses on testing and exercises in joint search and rescue, enhancing the ability of various countries and arms to cooperate, and at the same time carrying out limited exercises such as joint landing at sea, joint landing by air, joint counter-terrorism, and joint humanitarian rescue" has gradually evolved into exerting military pressure on Myanmar and providing an opportunity for the United States to control the Indochina Peninsula and contain China from the south.

When US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton attended the "ASEAN Regional Forum" in late July last year, she openly expressed to the outside world that she was "very worried" about the military cooperation between Myanmar and the DPRK, and said: "Myanmar's nuclear weapons program will pose a threat to the entire Southeast Asian region." "Hillary's move is not for nothing, the United States is targeting a weak and small country, using the nuclear issue as an excuse to create a new enemy, which contains a deeper strategic intention.

Myanmar occupies the core position of the Indochina Peninsula, bordering China to the north, the South Asian subcontinent to the west, the Indian Ocean to the south, and the western end of the Strait of Malacca. During World War II, the military supplies that the Allies aided China were continuously transported to the Chinese battlefield through Burma. The importance of Myanmar to China is self-evident, and Americans will naturally look at it in their eyes and worry about it in their hearts.

In recent years, with the sharp rise of China's influence in Southeast Asia, China's trade volume with ASEAN countries has gradually surpassed that of the United States, East Asian integration has gradually taken shape, and the influence of the United States in Asia, especially in Southeast Asia, has been gradually weakened. Heritage Foundation "U.S. leadership in Southeast Asia is being challenged by China. The remarks reflect the urgent intention of the United States to regain control of Asian affairs. Clinton took the opportunity to attend the 16th ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meeting and made a high-profile announcement as soon as she arrived in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, "I want to send a very clear message: The United States is returning to Southeast Asia, and we are fully committed to partnerships in Southeast Asia." "Through lù out of the new information of the Oba President Ma to adjust the strategy in Southeast Asia.

The United States has made a series of moves in Southeast Asia, on the one hand, signed the "Southeast Asia Friendship and Cooperation Agreement", put forward the idea of "US-Mekong cooperation", and served carrots; While exaggerating the Myanmar nuclear issue, waving **āng. By playing these two cards in Southeast Asia, the United States is nothing more than using economic and military means to buy certain ASEAN countries for its own use, divide and disintegrate East Asian integration, and create an ASEAN that is "scattered and scattered" to achieve its goal of dominating Southeast Asia. The United States has created the Burma issue for various reasons in order to find a breakthrough in the hinterland of Southeast Asia and seize the strategic lead. Having controlled Burma, it can constitute a strategic advantage on the west, north and east on land; At the same time, it can control the Strait of Malacca and control the trade flows of countries with the Strait of Malacca as the main sea transportation route, which in turn will affect their economic development.

Behind the above-mentioned goals of the United States, starting with the nuclear issue in Burma, there is a deeper purpose: to contain China by land and blockade China from the sea, to curb the momentum of China's rise, and to prevent a challenge to its own hegemony.

The North Korean nuclear issue, the anti-terrorism campaign in Afghanistan, and the confrontation between India and Pakistan are all tricks used by the United States to contain China, and now it has created a Burmese nuclear issue in order to achieve the goal of completing the "crescent-shaped" strategic encirclement of China.

However, the United States is not the only one that is eyeing Myanmar, a strategic location, but also Western European countries such as India, Russia, Japan, and the United Kingdom, which are also seeking to dominate Myanmar and thus Southeast Asia.

The parties involved in the game understand that whoever controls Myanmar has a key to control Southeast Asia. In the face of the frequent actions of the United States, Russia, India, Japan and other countries, how should China make a move? Xiao Chen felt that in order to maintain China's strategic interests in this important place, and to defuse external pressure for Myanmar and himself, he might as well learn from the United States' strategy of "carrot and **āng", not only for Myanmar and ASEAN, but also for other major powers that "play" with China.

It can be said that the new stage of the Chinese and American game is Myanmar.

Why is Myanmar called a new arena for the Sino-American game? Looking at the strategic situation around China, it is really not optimistic. The "crescent-shaped" encirclement of China by the United States has basically been completed: In the west, the United States continues to increase its troops in Afghanistan under the pretext of counter-terrorism, and has already taken control of Afghanistan, a strategic point in Central Asia; although the US military's anti-terrorist operations in Afghanistan have not achieved the expected goals, Al Qaeda has not been eliminated, and the Taliban's counterattack seems to have become more intense, the US military will not fail in a short period of time, and still less will it be unwilling to withdraw its troops from this strategic location. As long as the US military can stay in Afghanistan, it will be able to block China's way out in this direction, and the United States will not give up no matter what, and this is the ultimate goal of the US military operation in Afghanistan. To the southwest, although Pakistan is an ally of China, Pakistan is now being suppressed by the United States because of the Taliban issue, and has been joined in the military operation against the Taliban. Whether or not the Taliban forces in Pakistan can be eliminated is not only related to Pakistan's internal stability, but also has a bearing on the strategic relationship between Pakistan and the United States and the strategic game between China and the United States. By eliminating the Taliban forces in Pakistan, the United States will lose the pretext for suppressing and even controlling Pakistan, Pakistan will gain the diplomatic and military initiative, and the unity of China and Pakistan will not be seriously threatened. Otherwise, Pakistan will be held hostage by the United States over the Taliban issue – which the United States "diligently pursues". If the United States takes control of Pakistan, it will link Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India into a line, forming a "seamless" encirclement of China in the west and southwest. Needless to say, China's support is directly related to the success or failure of Pakistan's military operations. India, needless to say, has been willing to be a colony and a lackey for many years, and it is rare to see it once again "being the master of the country." In addition, it has invaded and occupied the territory of southern Tibet in China for many years, so it is more willing to be a pawn of the United States in encircling China, dreaming that it will achieve the goal of occupying southern Tibet with the support of the United States. To the east, South Korea and Japan, for the United States, are like their two states on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, and the use of these two chess pieces to contain China is more convenient than Afghanistan and India. Vietnam, to the south, has been eye-to-eye with the United States for a long time, and it is only a matter of time before it falls into the arms of the United States.

From this point of view, the "crescent-shaped" encirclement of China by the United States is only due south of the completion of the encirclement of Burma. If the United States takes control of Burma, the "crescent-shaped" encirclement will be completed, and China's land route to the Indian Ocean, the Arab region, and Africa will be completely blocked. In recent years, China's imports of energy resources and mineral resources have mainly come from this direction. Although it is now transported by sea, the passage is narrow, and there is only one road in the Strait of Malacca. The United States has occupied or controlled the main passages of the world's oceans for many years, and the Strait of Malacca is no exception. The "Golden Cobra" joint military exercise that the United States has conducted in Thailand for many years has no more than two purposes: to strengthen its control over the Strait of Malacca and to put pressure on Myanmar. In the event of a confrontation between China and the United States, the United States is fully capable of blocking China's sea passage in the Strait of Malacca as soon as possible. China's maritime transportation from Africa and the Arab region through the Indian Ocean will be cut off in the Strait of Malacca. If this is the case, the only way to transport by sea in this direction will be Myanmar. Ensuring the smooth passage of Myanmar is a backup for China's maritime transportation, and the United States naturally understands this, so it is not surprising that the United States will suppress Myanmar. How Huaxia operates and guarantees Myanmar as a backup channel is a contest between containment and counter-containment. As long as the thief of the United States to contain China does not die, the game between China and the United States on the "stage" of Burma will continue......
