Chapter 210: What Do You Want to Do?
"What are these Arabs trying to do?!"
Liu Yun was very depressed. Since the beginning of the summit of Arab countries in the Middle East, Huaxia has received several reports of merchant ships or oil tankers being intercepted by US warships. However, due to the number of Chinese warships carrying out escort missions in the Gulf of Aden, they are unable to form an effective deterrent to the US military -- Huaxia went to the Gulf of Aden only to train troops, while the Americans did it for real combat with real swords and guns!
The goals of the two are not the same, and the contrast of power is obviously very different.
"If there is another 'Galaxy Wheel' incident, how will the central face remain? Where is China's self-confidence? China's economy, which is continuing to rise, will be hit hard by this! ”
As the boss of Huaxia, Liu Yun's consideration is not unreasonable. But it is not an easy task to send troops lightly.
In recent years, in order to make way for economic development, the Chinese government has owed a lot of debts to the military. For example, after many new weapons are finalized, they are only produced in small batches and are not installed in the whole army, and the role of these weapons is still only in the deterrence stage; 99 main battle tanks, J-10 fighters, J-20 stealth fighters, 052D destroyers, etc., are all powerful weapons of the country, however, in order to ensure that "economic construction is the center", they are unable to equip troops on a large scale!
"Varyag" looks like an aircraft carrier, but rather a training ship of the Huaxia Navy, which is not capable of fighting at all. The other nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the Tianfeng, is still parked on the slipway of the Jiangnan Shipyard and will not be launched until next year at the earliest.
It is not easy to carry out aircraft carrier operations without a year or two of adaptation and training!
Judging from the current situation in the Middle East, a crisis has emerged, and war may break out at any time. Although those Chinese warships in the Gulf of Aden are cutting-edge, in front of the three aircraft carrier battle groups that the United States is about to converge on, and in front of nearly 100 US warships, what kind of big Lang can they afford?
At the same time, what about the safety of the Chinese fleet, which flows in and out of the Persian Gulf every day, or through the northern Indian Ocean route to and from the Suez Canal? If war breaks out in the Middle East, China will definitely suffer from the fish in the pond!
"The economy has indeed developed, and the people's living standards have also improved substantially." Liu Yun fell heavily on the sofa and kept kneading his heavy brows:
"But we don't have a force strong enough to defend the fruits of reform! The construction of the army, which has lagged behind a lot ......"
The prime minister has been smiling faintly, and it seems that he can see the boss occasionally lose his temper, which is also a rare enjoyment.
When Liu Yun finished muttering and vigorously "will increase military spending from next year", the prime minister gently put down the teacup in his hand and said with a slow smile:
"I don't fully agree with you." The prime minister, who is an expert in economics, immediately expressed his attitude:
"Economic construction cannot be stopped for a moment! However, anti-corruption work and army building should remain at the secondary policy level. ”
"But look at the Indian Ocean now! Look at those Chinese merchant ships trembling in front of American warships! Liu Yun jumped up violently, and there was no such grace and calmness that people are familiar with:
"The construction of the army must occupy a greater space in the government work report in the coming year! At the same time, more funds and resources must be tilted towards the army! ”
"Huaxia needs to develop, but it must not grow into a fat pig! It's time to sharpen our minions! ”
The prime minister picked up the teacup again, looked at him fixedly, and after a while, suddenly smiled:
"What are we messing around here? Don't we have another partner? Since the scope and depth of cooperation have been so comprehensive, he can be regarded as the head of Huaxia today, why don't you ask our little partners? ”
"Although I don't want to rely on one person in matters of state, but—" The Prime Minister smiled happily, as if he had seen the other man's hole cards:
"When you can rely on it, why waste so much effort when you have such a trustworthy person? Oh, I still have an economic work conference, so I'll go first. Hehe......"
Looking at the prime minister's brisk departure, Liu Yun grinned, scratched his head and laughed at himself:
"Good fellow, even you can see this! It's in vain that I've spent so much saliva and ...... Expression! ”

"What the hell are they trying to do?!"
The president sat quietly in his chair, staring intently at the synchronized images of Baghdad transmitted by the drone, muttering to himself, as if asking someone else.
"The agents tried every means to get into the mosque, and they didn't pick up any sound." The secretary of state leaned against the president's executive table and replied dejectedly:
"The heads of more than a dozen Arab countries in the Middle East have gathered in Baghdad without falling behind...... What kind of political attitude do they want to express? ”
"Well, according to the CIA experts," Director James said timidly in a low voice:
"These Islamic countries, they should soon introduce their common resolution!"
The president and the secretary of state frowned almost at the same time: sure enough, it's the brick family! Such a simple thing, something that can be seen at a glance, still needs to be analyzed by the brick family - what is the hair?
However, the CIA's next sentence instantly froze the atmosphere in the office:
"In all likelihood, they will unite against the United States and against the free world!"
Everyone was shocked and suddenly speechless. In the huge office, even the air seems to have stopped flowing.
After a long time, the president asked:
"What about our aircraft carriers? Where are they now? ”
…………
"What the hell are they trying to do?"
In Jerusalem, the Israeli prime minister did not look at the thick stack of reports in front of him, but waved his fist at the monitor, and on the screen, it was exactly the same picture as the White House:
"Let's have a meeting! And at the same time inform the Minister of Defense: the Arabs are coming again, and all Jews must be ready to fight! ”
At the sound of the order, Israel's warplanes immediately began to operate efficiently. This country that has grown and grown in the war, this country surrounded by the Arab world, this country with a strong will to live, has begun preparations for the next war again!
…………
"What the hell are they trying to do?"
In the warm offices of the Kremlin in the distant cold of Russia, the Russian president and prime minister frowned as they watched the high-resolution satellite images one after another.
Just now that the United States has stopped the United States from making moves against Iran and eliminated NATO's threat to the south of Russia, these Arabs are jumping out again - what are they trying to make trouble?
