Chapter 070 Influence and Crisis

November 13, Jinning.

The "Treasure Island Jiangdong Week" came to an end yesterday in the north of the island, and the Jiangdong delegation led by Xiao Chen, secretary of the Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee, returned to Jinning after completing its visit to the island. The visit of the "Baodao Jiangdong Week" and the Jiangdong delegation was a complete success and achieved fruitful results.

During this visit, Xiao Chen held 23 meetings with responsible persons of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang and friends from all walks of life on Baodao, visited Hsinchu Science Park, Daosu Mailiao Industrial Park, Neihu Science and Technology Park in the north of the island, AUO Optoelectronics, China Television Media Group and other well-known enterprises and the Palace Museum in the north of the island, and visited farmers in the Shishui community of Nantou County. From November 7th to November 11th, the "Treasure Island Jiangdong Week" was held in the north of the island, and at the same time, the first island-Suzhou economic and trade cooperation forum, the "Splendid Jiangdong" exhibition, a series of special negotiations and cooperation seminars on economy and trade, agriculture, culture, education, tourism and other aspects were held. In the 10 days before and after the "Treasure Island Jiangdong Week", more than 5,000 Jiangdong people went to Treasure Island for sightseeing.

During the "Treasure Island Jiangdong Week", the two sides have reached a number of cooperation and exchange agreements; After negotiations, a number of major investment projects of island businessmen will be settled in Jiangdong; According to incomplete statistics, the amount of procurement contracts signed between Jiangdong enterprises and Baodao enterprises reached 4.63 billion US dollars; the Baodao Tourism Association and the Jiangdong Provincial Tourism Association signed a two-way tourism cooperation plan for 100,000 people next year; after inspection, more than 20 enterprises expressed their intention to invest in the island.

The cooperation tour led by Xiao Chen was a bumper harvest and a sowing trip, which not only made substantial progress and fruitful results in the economic and trade cooperation between Suzhou Island, but also made new expansions in the fields of culture, education, science and technology, tourism, and other fields, and more importantly, further enhanced the mutual trust and feelings of the compatriots on both sides of the strait, and added new impetus to the great exchanges, cooperation, and development of various fields between the two sides of the strait.

The visit of the Jiangdong delegation led by Xiao Chen to the island was successfully concluded yesterday. In the past few days, all walks of life on the island have responded strongly and spoke highly of it. Public opinion believes that Xiao Chen is the first secretary of the provincial party committee of the Communist Party of China to visit the island, and the Jiangdong delegation led by him has had extensive exchanges with all walks of life on the island, actively expanding the breadth and depth of cooperation, and has achieved fruitful results and far-reaching influence. Moreover, as the grandson of Xiao Fei, the main leader of the first and second generations of the Communist Party of China, and the nephew of Xiao Zheng, one of the main leaders of the fourth generation of the Communist Party of China, Xiao Chen's visit is of extraordinary significance.

During his visit to the island, Xiao Chen held many meetings with high-level Kuomintang officials. They spoke highly of the results of the Jiangdong delegation's visit and the activities of the "Treasure Island Jiangdong Week." Wu Boxiong, honorary chairman of the Chinese Kuomintang, said that the people on both sides of the strait were very concerned about Secretary Xiao's visit and caused an "unprecedented sensation" on the island. Lien Chan, honorary chairman of the Chinese Kuomintang, praised Xiao Chen for having extensive and in-depth contacts and exchanges with all walks of life on the island during his visit, and that "it was truly an extraordinary visit." Jiang Bingkun, vice chairman of the Chinese Kuomintang and chairman of the Straits Exchange Foundation, said that Xiao Chen's visit to the island was a fruitful visit, and the "Treasure Island Jiangdong Week" was a very good platform, indicating the continuous expansion and deepening of cross-strait exchanges and cooperation. Jiang Xiaoyan, vice chairman of the Kuomintang, said that this was the highest-level, most efficient, and most far-reaching visit to Baodao since the two sides of the strait began to exchange visits.

The people on the island praised Xiao Chen's pragmatic measures to lead a delegation to visit the island this time, believing that Xiao Chen's visit had both high-level contacts and visits to the grassroots people; Talking about economic cooperation as well as cultural and emotional exchanges reflects Xiao Chen's closeness to the people and kindness, and embodies the sincerity of cross-strait cooperation and exchanges, and is to bring practical benefits to the people of Baodao with practical actions, and will promote all-round cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, and will bring a new realm to cross-strait interaction.

On many website forums, there are even messages from netizens on the island who seem to ridicule and express their political opinions, saying: "If Xiao Chen is really the No. 1 in the mainland, reunification will be good!" ”

Xiao Chen's visit to the island and the various economic and trade activities of the "Treasure Island Jiangdong Week" have won universal praise from well-known figures in the island's industrial and commercial circles, saying that the visit has achieved unprecedented results. Li Kunyao, chairman of the board of directors of the BenQ AUO Group, which is the first large company on the island to invest and set up factories in Jiangdong, said that Jiangdong is the area with the most intensive investment by island businessmen on the mainland, and that Secretary Xiao Chen's visit has promoted more cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, and will certainly set a new model for cross-strait economic and trade cooperation and open a new era. Guo Daoming, chairman of the board of directors of Hon Hai Technology Group, said that Secretary Xiao Chen's visit represents the expansion of cross-strait economic and trade exchanges and the improvement of the level of exchanges, which will have an absolutely positive impact on the treasure island and is good news for the people of the treasure island. When interviewed by reporters, Cai Liansheng, secretary general of the Baodao Federation of Industries, and Zhao Yongquan, secretary general of the World Trade Center in the north of the island, said that the successful holding of the "Baodao Jiangdong Week" has deepened the understanding of Jiangdong from all walks of life on the island, and is more conducive to cross-strait economic and trade exchanges. Wang Wenyuan, president of Shimasu Group, and a group of entrepreneurs said that they would expand their investment in Jiangdong.

Secretary Xiao Chen led a delegation to visit the island and the "Treasure Island Jiangdong Week" is not only the focus of attention from all walks of life on the island, but also the focus of the media on the island. Baodao United Daily, China Times, Business Times, Economic Daily, Wang Pao and other major newspapers, China Television, Zhongtian, Dongsen, Island Television and other major television islands and relevant network media have used significant pages and a large amount of space to carry out large-scale intensive reports, "Wang Pao" said in a report on 14 April "A New Page of Cross-Strait Exchanges, Provincial Party Committee Secretary Close to the People" that as a young and new Chinese Communist Party official with rich experience in island-related affairs, Xiao Chen showed his affinity during his visit to the island. "The most impressive thing is to visit Nantou Yuchi Township on the 9th, Xiao Chen personally visited the farmer's house, talked to the farmers, and presented it to the eyes of 23 million people on the treasure island through the TV screen, and many people in the south saw a smile and a cordial secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of the Communist Party of China."

At the same time, many media commented one after another, highly appraising and fully affirming the results of Xiao Chen's delegation's visit. On the 12th, the "Business Times" published a commentary article entitled "The Positive Effect of the Secretary of the Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee of the Communist Party of China on the Island", which summarized Secretary Xiao's visit to the island as "three helps": first, it will help Baodao develop all-round regional economic and trade relations with the mainland, second, it will help cross-strait economic and trade turn to "innovative" development, and third, it will help island businessmen grasp the business opportunities in the Yangtze River Delta triggered by the Oriental World Expo, and Jiangdong will be the first beneficiary. Generally speaking, Secretary Xiao Chen's visit to the island has both political and economic effects. An editorial on the 11th of the Baodao "Central Daily" network newspaper said that the delegation led by Secretary Xiao symbolizes the upgrading of cross-strait exchanges and writes a new historical page for cross-strait substantive economic and trade cooperation and exchanges.

Under the circumstance that public opinion on both sides of the strait is very good, the United States, Japan, and other foreign media obviously have a sour taste in their reports on Xiao Chen's visit to Baodao, and there are even many alarmist remarks.

Some right-wingers even clamored that Xiao Chen's visit to the treasure island was "another united front conspiracy by the mainland," that the $4.6 billion order was "a carrot after a military exercise," that it was "to explore the way for the mainland's new leadership collective," and that it was "absolutely unacceptable" that "it was absolutely unacceptable" and that it was necessary to "immediately punish it."

Xiao Chen was dismissive of these reports, punished? Punish whom? Who punishes whom? Joke.

Don't talk about this verbal shouting, it is what the "Relationship Law" is, and in Xiao Chen's opinion, it is also a dead letter. Every truly politically minded politician on the island will believe in that thing. When the mainland reunifies the treasure island, it does not depend on how the treasure island struggles and how it holds the big tuǐ, but only when the mainland's internal and external cultivation thinks it is sufficient.

Without the treasure island, isn't China unified? After the unified China, is it still necessary to maintain the world's largest army? Is it necessary to increase military spending year after year? Didn't the uncle on the other side of the ocean talk about the Huaxia threat every day, and even move it in his hands? Is Huaxia really ready for this? Obviously, it is not yet, so the established national policy of "first the west and then the east" will never waver.

There is a truth that there is not a single mainland politician and a politician on the treasure island who does not understand: interests determine national policy. So Uncle Sam won't really fight Huaxia for the sake of Treasure Island, he may help yell twice, and may even provide a bāng - provided that you pay for the bāng - but he will definitely not rush up by himself, protect the treasure island like he protects his son, and make his own head bleed, and may even lose face again, what kind of relative do you think you are!

Some right-wingers say that Huaxia is a threat at one moment, and at another time they say that Huaxia is not well equipped. It's not that the mainland doesn't have good equipment, it's just that it doesn't develop a lot of equipment. This is the formation of a confrontational approach on the basis of absorbing the erroneous tactics of the Soviet Union. It is necessary to safeguard China's territorial integrity, but China's fundamental interests do not lie in the treasure island, and when the time is ripe in the future, the solution of the treasure island issue is just a matter of waiting for the melon to be ripe. To really say that, in recent years, the surrounding areas of China have become lively, and the first warships from the Philippines and Indonesia drove away Chinese fishing boats; then there is the Diaoyutai dispute with Japan; And then even countries like Vietnam came to the South China Sea to develop tourism; plus an indisputable treasure island, what kind of "de-Chineseization" is on its shoulders......

All of a sudden, all the unreasonable demands seemed to erupt in a concentrated manner. What about Huaxia's reaction? As always, "strongly opposed", "solemnly made representations", "expressed protest", and "seriously concerned...... The tape recorder was playing over and over again, and the CD was about to fall off the paint.

What happened to Huaxia? What happened to the powerful regime that fought the Korean War, the Battle of Zhenbao Island, the Sino-Indian War, and the Vietnam Self-Defense Counter-Attack? Do you only care about making money and don't care about anything? Is it true that you put on your shoes and start to be afraid of bare feet? Patriots mourn it, angry youths want to scold the streets, and bystanders whisper...... All the international forces are watching the excitement and feel that Huaxia is not ordinary passive this time.

But the central government of Huaxia was unmoved. In fact, if you take a closer look, it is not difficult to find out what kind of countries are clamoring for territory with China. With the exception of Vietnam, those countries are all American-style equipment, with weapons provided by Uncle Sam, and the military establishment is built on the model of Uncle Sam.

These countries dare to call out to China for only one reason, that is, Uncle Sam is supporting them. But they may not know that they are just a pawn of Uncle Sam to encircle Huaxia, and the chess piece is used to sacrifice when necessary.

The Polar Bear military is actually far behind Uncle Sam. From the end of the Cold War, Uncle Sam began planning their new strategy and global deployment. NATO's eastward expansion is obviously aimed at polar bears. At that time, Uncle Sam thought that the only thing in the world could fight with him was the polar bear.

Therefore, suppressing Huaxia is only one step in containing polar bears. But from several wars in the 90s of the last century, Uncle Sam clearly saw that the military power of the polar bear had been left behind him. Since 1990, Uncle Sam has fought several classic asymmetric wars: the Gulf War, a typical type of coordinated defense warfare, fought in the border areas of Kuwait and Iraq. Uncle Sam practiced the ability to defend a place and the army advance mode during the war.

The U.S. military's mobility capability has been vividly and vividly displayed, and large equipment can advance nearly 1,000 kilometers in one day. The Kosovo War is a typical example of a surgical war, the precision strikes of the US military ensured zero casualties in the war, and the war no longer smashed everything as before, but directly hit the target he wanted to hit. Even including the Huaxia Embassy......

The war in Afghanistan, which many military experts call a "missile to tent" war, collapsed without even decent resistance, and the expected guerrilla warfare in the mountains did not appear. Uncle Sam only developed a bomb to deal with the cave during the war, and successfully contained the remnants of the rebellious Taliban, which proves that Uncle Sam has a strong ability to learn and adjust in the war.

In the second Gulf War, the invasion of the US army, the ace armored division was almost invincible, and it took only a few dozen days to occupy Iraq. The four wars have reflected the four combat capabilities of the US military under different conditions, and so far no one has been able to match them. On the other hand, the polar bear, whose predecessor, the Soviet Union, also invaded Afghanistan, but what was the result? Heavy casualties and failure; The war in Chechnya dragged on and on, and it was mired in it.

Aside from nuclear weapons, the military strength of the polar bear has actually been greatly reduced, and the tactics are relatively backward, resulting in a significant decline in the combat effectiveness of the army, and even no advantage at all. The depth of the territory on which he relied to resist Hitler was no longer an obstacle under the deterrence of long-distance air strikes by the US military, the long and difficult winter of the polar bear was no longer a problem, and even his nuclear weapons had aged to the point that he could not control them.

If you can do something with money, why bother fighting? You know, Uncle Sam is also a shoemaker. The complacent Uncle Sam looked back, but saw that socialist China was full of vitality and quietly rising. Like many Hollywood blockbusters, Uncle Sam didn't suddenly find out at the last minute that his ultimate opponent turned out to be Huaxia.

Uncle Sam must restrain Huaxia for the sake of his global interests. Because to suppress Huaxia is to ensure that Uncle Sam's global leadership is not threatened.

In terms of political system, Uncle Sam can't tolerate the existence of a ** regime in his eyes. Because there is a ** regime, Uncle Sam will feel the fear of the unknown; Second, the elevation of the Asian Corner of China seriously threatens Uncle Sam's interests in the Far East, and even threatens Uncle Sam's position as a world leader; Third, an integrated Europe and a rising China will be the strongest challengers to Uncle Sam's values. Huaxia is an advocate of the "Non-Aligned Movement", and its untrustworthy style of being a great power has continuously enhanced China's international status, and China's equal attitude towards different countries of strength and weakness, large and small, has won Huaxia a good reputation in the international community. This is in stark contrast to Uncle Sam's unilateralism and hegemonic style, and in the long run, Uncle Sam's international prestige and status will be challenged.

Uncle Sam was deeply afraid of this trend, so he tried every means to demonize Huaxia and spread the so-called "Huaxia threat theory". However, this is just an argument, and there is nothing more practical to support it, so Uncle Sam needs to do something to get Huaxia to take the bait.

What really reassures Uncle Sam is actually Huaxia.

Earlier, the Chiang regime, supported by Uncle Sam's money and guns, was unable to withstand the ** army of millet and rifles, and ended up losing the treasure island; In the Korean War, the well-equipped armored division of the American army was driven back to the south of the 38th parallel barefoot by the Chinese volunteers who were lying on ice and snow and attacking thousands of miles. In the Vietnam War, the U.S. military threw down hundreds of thousands of dead and retreated in panic, turning Vietnam into a "third military power", but they didn't come back to their senses, and in a blink of an eye, Vietnam was beaten by China and cried for their mothers, and they couldn't even find a decent highway; In addition, the Indian army, which was equipped by Uncle Sam, was defeated by an army of less than 10,000 men in China with insufficient supplies and communications.

If it weren't for the army commander's timely contact with Premier Zhou after communications were restored, it is estimated that even the capital would have fallen. Uncle Sam has never won against his opponent in several direct and indirect encounters with Huaxia. The bitter lesson made Uncle Sam's four-star general say a sentence that would increase the morale of others and destroy his own prestige: "Whoever wants to fight with the Chinese Army is simply sick!" ”

But the Americans are not content to leave such a comment in the history of their own military. So Uncle Sam was waiting for an opportunity to get this face back. However, the US military did not dare to forget their "ancestral teachings", and what was worse was that the Chinese army has always been mysterious, and after so many years of growth, it does not know what it has become, and it has to find a way to take a look. I don't know whether it was intentional or not, the US military took advantage of the attack on Yugoslavia to take advantage of the fire to loot and bomb the Chinese Embassy.

At that time, the indignant youths in Huaxia said that this was a great shame, but looking back, after that, the Chinese students almost "painted" all the Uncle Sam consulates in China, smashed all the glass, and a group of diplomats hid everywhere, and Uncle Sam finally had to apologize and pay compensation. It would be unthinkable if this had happened in other countries.

In the South China Sea plane collision incident, if the Huaxia Air Force opened fire at that time, what would have been the consequences? But Huaxia just dared to knock it down, and deducted people from the machine, and slowly dissected and studied, so that Uncle Sam suffered a dumb loss from the boss.

A martyr who has advanced China's fighter technology for more than ten years. Lao Mei still had to pay compensation in the end, this kind of thing, on the surface, Uncle Sam took the lead, but in fact, in the two confrontations, Uncle Sam had a long face and lost money. Since you said you didn't mean it, well, don't do this in the future, apologize, admit your mistake, I forgive you. Look, I taught him a lesson, and I ended up with a benefit, just like an adult forgiving a child who made a mistake.

Uncle Sam has lost his old face, but why didn't he send troops to Huaxia? It's really as some people say, it's so easy to get Huaxia, so why don't you fight it? It was because he knew that he would not be able to win the war if he sent troops to Huaxia.

He fought everything he could win, like Iraq, like Kosovo, like Afghanistan. Uncle Sam is crazy enough, but they are not stupid, and if they fight Huaxia directly, the consequences will be very serious. So they thought of forcing China to fight a regional war through some special events created by other countries.

This has two advantages: first, it will not escalate into a full-scale war, and it will be reaped when it is good, so as to achieve the goal of weakening China in World War I; Second, look at China's war capability. Among them, the most important is the second one. Just like two martial arts masters, neither of them will make easy moves until they don't know each other's reality or reality.

It's best to come up at this time and attack one of the parties, and in the end, of course, this stupid risk is "hanging", and the master on the side will see the opponent's strengths and weaknesses. Huaxia's combat power has always been a headache for Uncle Sam to scratch his head.

Can Huaxia fight? What about combat effectiveness? How will they deal with American equipment? Regionally, Uncle Sam tried his best to provoke small Southeast Asian countries to invade and occupy Chinese territory, and the sinister intentions of his intentions were now clearly revealed.

His wishful thinking is: Didn't you Huaxia say that the South China Sea Islands and Diaoyu Islands are yours? You can't take your place without fighting, right? As soon as you fight, I'll watch, and then find a way to deal with you. Therefore, if you take action against a certain force now, instead of deterring Uncle Sam, you will stretch out your fist and lù out of the gap. As soon as Huaxia makes a move, not only will the "Huaxia threat theory" have an immediate basis, but more importantly, Huaxia's tactical thinking, war capability, weaponry, and so on will really come to the surface, which is more accurate than the intelligence you sent out for reconnaissance by 10 satellites. Now it's up to who will be the "fool".

There are only two reasons for not fighting, one is that I am afraid, I dare not fight, and I don't want to fight. However, in recent years, China has accelerated its army building, and the military hawks have actually tried to fight many times, but they have been appeased by the central government, but the central government cannot only verbally appease each time, and the money has also increased significantly. The second reason is that they do not start a war easily, and they want to gather thousands of forces to settle the battle in one battle. At least that ability. As the saying goes, "shè people shè horses first, thieves first capture kings".

Huaxia deeply understands that all these threats, in the final analysis, originate from Uncle Sam. As long as Uncle Sam is here, those little minions can't beat and compete with them, when will it be? "Go to the army to fight, then attack the enemy, then attack the army, and attack the city", for this big devil, if you can't fight, don't fight first, deal with him first, and seize the opportunity to strike a thunderous blow to his sore spot, which is more effective than anything else. Those minions mainly look at the master, and when the master falls, he still doesn't scatter? At that time, Huaxia will not say a word, and they will all have to take the map to find the capital and come to pay tribute.

Nanhai Zhudao, with six countries and regions, including Baodao, claim sovereignty, and the situation is actually far more complicated than most Chinese people think. Fighting one of them there will not solve the problem at all, and it will be realized. Therefore, it is necessary to find the right opponent and see the right time, either not to fight, or to win the war. Uncle Sam does want to achieve hegemony and global leadership, but he has absolutely no interest in dying with China. The fight between the two permanent members of the UN Security Council is not something that can be joked about casually.

Huaxia's attitude seems to be softer on the whole, but occasionally it will be a little tougher, not against the national policy, but to tell Uncle Sam: "Everyone is a person who wears shoes, play well, don't go too far, your shoes are a little more expensive than me now, and it's not worth ...... if they are broken" However, Huaxia is not better than Iraq after all, you can't just play if you say you play, you don't play if you say you don't play.

The most terrifying thing is not the arrow that has already been shè, but the arrow is still on the string. Huaxia's bow is not fired, which is an invisible deterrent to all the ** forces, so they have to shout and make noise. After all, Huaxia is not as sharp as Uncle Sam, but talks less, does more, and realizes his strategy step by step. Now China is also doing this, the EU this year said that it will lift the arms embargo on China, this is only part of China's strategy, of course, the EU said this, itself is also a strategy, it depends on who is smarter after the move.

In fact, NATO does not pose much threat to China, because NATO is a coordinated defense military system and does not provide for coordinated offensive. Just look at the Iraq War, and the United States and Britain will send troops, and at best Spain will be added, and later they will also make a fuss about withdrawing. Relations between China and European countries are improving, and if China declines, they are willing to come and get a piece of the pie, but it is unlikely that they will pay money and people to play with China. Xiao Chen does not have a full understanding of all high-level foreign policies, but he occasionally ponders that perhaps, slowly turning NATO into a loose military alliance is also part of the central strategy.

While Huaxia was surrounded by Uncle Sam, he was also quietly besieging Uncle Sam in another way. This confrontation is far from the final moment, but it is certain that with the rise of China's economy, the most difficult time has passed. The most important thing now is to maintain sound and rapid economic development.

As for why Xiao Chen visited Treasure Island, Japan also jumped out to make irresponsible remarks. Many Chinese people can't seem to understand why he jumps up and down all day long, and can't get along with Huaxia, so he can only explain it as a "pervert". But if you look at it from Japan's point of view, it's clear and clear. Open the world map and see where Japan is? It is surrounded by China, the United States, and Russia, the three most powerful nuclear powers in the world, and it is really scared in its heart, so it makes a voice and talks about it!

Hua Xia and Uncle Sam are two giants, one with a rifle, not very well dressed, but very accurate marksmanship; One was armed with a machine gun, dressed in a military overcoat, and covered with bullets. Both of them knew that if a fight broke out, the only thing that would really solve the problem was one or two bullets, but neither dared to really use the first shot.

Therefore, whether it is Xiao Chen or higher-ups, there will be no jī performance in provocations against the United States at present, and it will definitely be based on wooing Baodao. When will this iron not be able to be beaten?

However, Xiao Chen felt that in the process of being hard, something seemed to be wrong.

The report he was holding in his hand, a joint report of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission and the Bureau of Statistics, mentioned that this year's inflation problem had already shown some bad signs......
