Robert? Gates rested his hands on the table, as if listening to a report from Deputy CIA Deputy Director Jack with a focused expression. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In Jack? According to Dunlap's report, the secret agreement between Huaxia Zhengaxe and Somali Li Mo involves basically focusing on military teaching and the supply of machinery and equipment.
Hua Xia Zhengax will secretly train qualified air force pilots for the Somali army and support a group of experienced instructors with knowledge of modern combat theory to the newly established Somali military academy in a voluntary way, so as to train a large number of military personnel for Somalia.
In addition, Huaxia Zhengax will also provide Somalia with a large number of machinery and equipment, basically focusing on mining and metal smelting, and the two sides also have a number of secret cooperation contents in a state of secrecy. As an 'ant', you can't reach it at all.
These contents aroused a high degree of vigilance among the officials present. A Somali threat to American interests already exists. This is largely due to the fact that Somalia has defeated Kenya, a 'partner' of the United States, with nuclear weapons that are "primitive and lack effective delivery carriers".
Even so, the U.S. political axe is confident that it will wipe out the less than three-year-old regime in Somalia. If the Chinese and Somali political axes reach a secret agreement to provide Somalia with military, industrial and other assistance, Somalia will become a very influential presence in Northeast Africa and the Gulf of Aden region. This will bring a very unfavorable situation for the US political axe to control the Middle East and contain the hardline forces of Islam.
"If China helps Somalia very strongly, although it will not be able to improve Somalia's comprehensive strength in a short period of time, it will increase Somalia's war potential to a certain extent. From Deputy Commissioner Dunlap's report, we can see that the Somali political axe is planning to build its own industrial base...... and even the national industrial system. "Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Jason? Clooney said with a grim expression, "Somalia is rich in mineral resources, basically in the stage of development and utilization, the discovery of the large oil field in Mudeg proves that there may be other oil fields in Somalia." These are the foundations that underpin a country's industrial system. Once Somalia completed the national primary industrial system, coupled with the semi-public enterprises controlled by the Chinese deputy commander. The Somali economy will reverse the current slow recovery. ā
Jason? Clooney made a detailed analysis and prediction of the secret agreement between China and Somalia from the industrial base and economic aspects.
To fight a war is to fight logistics, and in the final analysis, to fight a country's comprehensive national strength. Somalia's current industry is almost at the stage of the last century when the great powers were in the process of transforming from an agrarian country to an industrialized country. If the industrialization process in Somalia is not halted at this time, the development of Somalia is predictable.
A country that is unfriendly to the United States and has nuclear weapons, once developed. There was some drumming in everyone's hearts.
Next, the president's economic and military advisers all made speeches based on their own views and views. The content is concerned about the future situation in the Gulf of Aden and East Africa.
A Somalia is not too worried, but a big threat to the United States is when it mixes with three countries that have been identified as 'rogue regimes' or potentially hostile countries by the United States to form an alliance involving politics, economy, military and technology. If behind this alliance, there is still a big country China. The threat factor will rise again!
"I don't think you can ignore another country!" Secretary Gates said a well-timed remark that surprised everyone in the room.
Because everyone quickly understood the 'country' that Secretary Gates was talking about, and that was Russia.
The Middle East and the Korean Peninsula have long been the places where the struggle between Russia (the former Soviet Union) and the United States has been fiercest.
Before the Iran-Iraq war, the US political axe created contradictions and clamoured war between the two Iraqi political axes. In the 70s, the U.S. political axe was biased towards the Pahlavi dynasty of Iran at that time, and after the February Revolution in Iran, the fundamentalist movement led by Khomeini aroused great vigilance in the United States, while the Iraqi political axe Saddam Hussein's regime's talent rule and ambition made the United States and the former Soviet Union feel uneasy.
At this time, the two sides had a rare 'cooperation' and vigorously promoted the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq war. It can be said that a war between Iran and Iraq has completely 'crippled' the two powerful countries in the Middle East that are most capable of competing for hegemony in the Middle East, and the huge human and economic losses have led to a serious regression in the strength of the two countries.
At the height of the Iran-Iraq war, Western forces began to intervene, followed by Iraqi missile attacks on the American Stark frigate and the downing of Iranian civilian airliners by American cruisers.
These 'unexpected events' provided a legitimate excuse for Western forces, and the United States and Iran severed diplomatic relations, and the United States began to implement unilateral sanctions against Iran that had lasted for more than two decades. At the beginning of the 21st century, the Iraq War broke out, and the US-led NATO forces completely defeated the Saddam regime. Since then, the Middle East has returned to a 'period of stability'.
However, the former Soviet Union, for its own reasons, did not reap the benefits it deserved in this 'war of cooperation', but instead caused Western forces to enter the Middle East in a big way, and it was very unwilling in its heart. This is also why Russia, which later inherited the former Soviet Union, has always had an 'ambiguous' attitude towards the Iranian nuclear issue. On the one hand, it opposes the West's use of force to resolve the Iranian nuclear issue, and on the other hand, it calls on Iran to make its nuclear program transparent. At the same time, Russia has provided Iran with nuclear fuel and assisted Iran in building nuclear power plants.
In the minds of the Americans, in order to counter the containment of the United States and other Western worlds and compress its 'living space', Russia may secretly provide Iran with complete nuclear technology.
Throughout Iran's decades-long nuclear program, there is a shadow of the Russians all the time. At certain times of need, Iran's nuclear program has been abruptly accelerated, and sometimes it has been interrupted by technical and external pressures.
Or the Iranian political axe also sees that Russia's support for its nuclear program is a 'trick' to meet Russia's own diplomatic needs, and Iran has tried to get rid of Russian influence in the later stages of its nuclear program. That's why there was a scene of cooperating with Li Mo and jointly looting the nuclear weapons base.
The U.S. political axe does not know why Iran's nuclear program has suddenly accelerated and has reached the stage of 'nuclear explosion test', but in the thinking of the top level, the most likely is that Iran has received secret support from Russia.
China supports Somalia, and Russia supports Iran. Two nuclear-armed states are being secretly supported by two other nuclear-armed powers. It has only one purpose, to prop up others against the United States. Put Somalia and Iran in the foreground and play bumper cars with the United States and its younger brothers. Huaxia and Russia, on the other hand, stood in the safety of the playground and watched the performance while recuperating.
is worthy of being a veteran agent, and Secretary Gates let everyone see that this matter is not just a secret agreement between China and Somalia. This matter can no longer be treated as a separate piece of information.
Perhaps China's support for Somalia is because these 'anti-American countries' have secretly reached an agreement or tacit understanding.
"Oh my God, is there another Cold War?" Jack? Deputy Director Dunlap exclaimed exaggeratedly. Although everyone saw that Deputy Director Dunlap's words were just a joke to break the solemn atmosphere in the conference room, it made the hearts of the senior officials present sink.
Bush Jr. originally planned to wait for everyone to speak about the same time, but after a while, this closed-door meeting was held to such an extent that he saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly said with a straight face, "We must not be intimidated by these countries, the United States is invincible!" ā
Noticing the blazing flame in the president's eyes, the hearts of everyone present suddenly burst into the hearts of the president, and they secretly asked whether the president, who pursues the Bush doctrine and adopts the line of 'Republican internationalism,' is ready to fight again?
In his national security policy and foreign exchanges, Bush has followed the two principles of 'putting US interests first' and 'seeking peace through strength.' It has adopted a policy of pre-emptive strikes against terrorism and unfriendly countries that pursue weapons of mass destruction and nuclear weapons, and pursued US national interests in a hardline and conservative manner on the basis of more offensive military deployments in the global geostrategic landscape. The so-called Bush Doctrine is 'preemptive strike'.
However, President George W. Bush's mandate is only two years, and generally speaking, at such times, Bush's political axe is not suitable to start a new war. Especially when the target is an 'unfriendly country' or countries with nuclear weapons, the consequences will be catastrophic.
The nuclear bombing of Afghanistan is still a nightmare hovering over Americans, and compared to the global offensive against terrorism, the American government and the people are not ready for a nuclear war.
Striking at unfriendly countries is for the national interest of the United States, not for the destruction of the planet. When attacking Iraq, the United States and its allies used the Saddam regime's secret development of weapons of mass destruction, but in the CIA report, the Saddam regime did not have weapons of mass destruction at all. This is the condition for the US political axe to dare to launch an attack. In dealing with Iran, in addition to external factors, the strict secrecy of Iran's nuclear program and the inability of the US political axe to know the progress of Iran's nuclear program are also factors that have caused the US political axe to be unable to make up its mind.
Now that it is not necessary to go to war with two countries that have already been identified as possessing nuclear weapons, is the United States ready to bear the consequences of nuclear war?
"Mr. President, I don't think it's appropriate to take a tough move until we have mastered the nuclear bases in the two countries. What we want to do is to unite the peaceful countries of the world and bring those countries that are trying to develop nuclear weapons to the negotiating table for a peaceful solution to the nuclear issue. In resolving the Quad nuclear issue, we can take it step by step, first cutting off its external support step by step, and finding a breakthrough from within it to break the 'Quad Alliance'. At this time, I think our task is to strengthen exchanges with the Ukrainian political axe and the Syrian political axe. "Secretary of Defense Robert? Gates spoke slowly.
Everyone pondered for a while, their eyes lit up at the same time, Bush Jr. suppressed his desire to use force, nodded and said, "This matter will be handed over to Secretary Gates and Mr. Clooney." ā
