Chapter 27: Under the Trend
On 8 May 1999, US-led NATO bombers fired five joint direct attack munitions and hit the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade, killing three Chinese journalists and injuring dozens of others on the spot, causing serious damage to the embassy building.
In the official statements of the two countries, the United States called the incident an accidental bombing, while the Chinese government only expressed strong dissatisfaction, strong condemnation, and strong protest against it......
As a result, relations between China and the United States were strained.
In the end, the U.S. Department of Defense casually fired a staff member as a scapegoat, pretended to apologize to China, and the matter was over.
But in the community, there is a rumor.
The rumor said that the US bombing of the Chinese embassy was not an accidental bombing, but a deliberate bombing, because the US bombed an F117 stealth fighter-bomber of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was accidentally shot down, and the wreckage was in the hands of China, and it was hidden in the basement of the embassy by China.
The United States had no choice but to launch missiles in order to prevent China from obtaining the technical information contained therein. However, the operation ultimately failed, and China eventually shipped the wreckage back home.
Lin Ze knew that this rumor was not actually a rumor.
Because in the future, a certain high-ranking Chinese military once talked about the bombing of the embassy in 99, and vaguely revealed: "...... Although some of us have sacrificed, the progress of the development of our invisible materials has been improved for more than ten years, and this progress has been exchanged for blood and international humiliation! ”

In the early nineties, the Soviet Union, the world's largest socialist country, finally disintegrated under the impetus of two internal and external factors: the CPSU itself broke away from the masses, and the Western countries led by the United States took advantage of contradictions to secretly subvert (peaceful evolution)).
China has become the largest socialist country in the world today, and there is an irreconcilable contradiction between China and the Western capitalist system, so China has become the next target to be solved by the Western capitalist forces led by the United States!
However, due to the experience of the Soviet Union, China at that time, headed by Comrade Xiaoping, raised its vigilance against the "peaceful evolution" of the West.
After studying the period before and after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Comrade Xiaoping held that external factors can only play a role by relying on internal factors, that is to say, the fundamental cause of the collapse of the Soviet Union lies in the Soviet Union itself, and it is the political, social, and economic crises that have emerged within the Soviet Union itself, which have provided a breakthrough for the Western forces!
For this reason, Comrade Xiaoping specially studied a countermeasure: politically adhere to the socialist road and the party's leadership, and resolutely oppose bourgeois liberalization; In society, stability maintenance is regarded as the top priority; Economically, market-oriented reforms have been carried out.
The economic base determines the superstructure, so economic reform is regarded as the core (centered on economic construction).
The economy of the Soviet Union (including before China) was a planned economy, in which various elements of the economy were centrally controlled by the government.
Absolute power begets absolute**.
Therefore, under the planned economy, as a government of the people's servants, it is almost inevitable that the government will degenerate towards the opposite side of the people, and the higher the degree of centralized control, the faster the deterioration.
The essence of Comrade Xiaoping's market-oriented reform is to release part of the government's control over economic factors in society. Let the society divide part of the government's power, so as to reduce the degree and speed of the government (note that it is only reduced, not avoided, and the problem of deterioration is not solved).
In the late 80s and early 90s, marked by the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and the SH Pudong Special Economic Zone, China began to open up to the outside world, and market-oriented reform continued to advance steadily and irreversibly!!
Because if you don't reform, it's a dead end; And there is still a glimmer of life for reform!!

From 1979 to the end of 1999, China attracted a total of $306 billion in foreign investment, and Western forces invested heavily in China. On the other hand, with the maturity of industrialization in the Western world, the importance of oil has been widely recognized.
-- Petroleum is used as energy and raw materials in people's daily economic life, industrial production, aerospace and military industries, and chemical products such as gasoline and asphalt separated from petroleum are also widely used in people's daily life.
In order to consolidate its hegemony in the world, the United States has positioned its national strategy to control oil, and the Middle East region has unfortunately become the target of the United States because it is the world's largest oil storage area.
The U.S. oil strategy objectively enabled China to win a critical period of development opportunities, a period that was in the original history until July 21, 09 when U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton? Klingdun first proposed a "return to the Asia-Pacific region" and ended.
During this period, although the United States did not regard China as a key strategic point, it still did not miss an opportunity to cause trouble for China in all aspects.
For example, Li Moumou, who is always making trouble in Taiwan, and Chen Moumou, who is regarded as the successor of Li Moumou, have created a lot of trouble for China, and they both have the shadow of the United States behind them.
There are also many occasions when the President of the United States has met with Dalai. and using the ability to influence internationally to denounce China's human rights issues, and so on.

China, Beijing, Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
At that time, the Minister of Foreign Affairs was Tang Jiaxuan, a veteran diplomat who was nearly 70 years old and had worked in the diplomatic career for more than 40 years.
After receiving the urgent report from the Hong Kong Office, Tang Lao immediately realized the seriousness of the incident, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly called the prime minister's office, and at the same time instructed the secretary to fax the report of the Hong Kong Office.
Zhongnanhai, the prime minister's office, Zhu Rongji, who was the premier of the State Council at the time, was already over 70 years old, and it stands to reason that he can no longer hold his position.
However, since 93 years, when he was vice premier, he actually presided over the executive work of the State Council, and successfully curbed inflation, rising prices, and the signs of chaos in the financial market.
In addition, the total amount of fixed asset investment has been controlled, and the interest groups colluded with the government and business have been cracked down.
It has also carried out reforms in six areas: the fiscal and taxation system, the financial system, the investment system, the enterprise system, the housing system, and the price system.
The haze of the '97 financial crisis loomed over Asia, and China was almost unaffected, not only that, but also a firm backing for Hong Kong, which had just returned to China.
Because of the above achievements, Zhu Rongji took up the post of premier of the State Council in 98.
Towards the end of '99, the government's focus was on matters related to Macao's return to China on December 20. So much so that the drawer of Premier Zhu's desk was still locked with the materials of a certain major case sent by the discipline inspection, and the investigation had not been started.
"What!?" As soon as he put the phone to his ear, Premier Zhu slammed the table and stood up, angry: "Nonsense, what are you doing with the SH Municipal Party Committee!" ”
At the same time, there was a knock on the office door, and after receiving permission, the secretary to the prime minister walked in with a document.

Studio. At nearly 11 o'clock, the recording of Haole Day was finally completed, Lin Xinru came out of the recording studio, and was discussing with Lin Ze and others where to go to dinner, but Fang Jian's mobile phone suddenly rang.
"Hey, ~" Fang Jian answered the phone, his expression suddenly changed, and he said, "I know." He hung up.
"What's wrong?" Lin Ze asked when he saw that his expression and tone were wrong.
Fang Jian's expression froze, and he said, "The person surnamed Zhou has brought someone here!" ”
"Coming?" Pang Wei was stunned for a moment, then the gleam of joy flashed in his eyes, and he stroked his palms and smiled: "Good come!" ”
Liu Qiang was also very excited, shook his head and smiled: "I thought he wouldn't come, haha, I didn't expect to come again." As he spoke, he rubbed his fists, his knuckles crackling.
The corners of Wei Gang's mouth twitched slightly, and he asked Lin Ze, "Aze, what should we do now?" ”
Lin Ze saw that everyone was looking at him, and said with a smile: "Then act according to the plan." He glanced at Pang Wei and ordered: "Be careful for a while, don't really suffer a big loss." ”
Pang Wei snorted, he is not a fool, how can he let himself suffer a big loss?
At this moment, there were bursts of broken footsteps in the aisle outside, and listening to the sound, there were no less than twenty people.
The footsteps were gradual, and suddenly there was a "pop~", the door of the recording studio was kicked open, Zhou Shao stood in front of the door with someone, looking at it angrily, the group of people were in black pants and black short sleeves, each of them was tall, fierce, and imposing, obviously thugs who were used to beating people.
"TMD dares to play Lao Tzu!" When he saw Lin Ze at a glance, he pointed and scolded, "I have to kill you bastard today!" Suddenly, seeing Lin Xinru like a frightened kitten, he was surprised to hold Lin Ze's arm, snuggled up to him, and was even more angry, and with a wave of his hand, he coldly ordered: "Call me!" Killed my Zhou family! ”
As soon as the words fell, a thug rushed to the door, but the door was narrow, and only two people could enter side by side.
"!" Seeing their fierce faces, Pang Wei was furious, and casually pulled a chair next to him and smashed it!
The two thugs were unexpected, and raised their hands to block each other, but they fell short, it turned out that Pang Wei was bluffing at all.
The two thugs were furious, rushed forward, and pounced on Pang Wei.
Liu Qiang and Wei Gang saw the opportunity, swept out, carried the bench, and blocked the door!
Pang was horrified, like an old hen being targeted by a weasel, instead of running away, he immediately squatted down with his head in his hands, as if he was frightened.
The two thugs rushed close to Pang Wei's side, even if it was a punch and kick.
Lin Ze's eyes narrowed, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The two thugs who were fighting were relieved, but they didn't realize that they had become turtles in the urn!
Pang Weiwei screamed miserably, and after being beaten twice, Lin Zehuo took a step closer, raised his leg and kicked on the shoulder of a thug, but there was a crisp click......
