Volume 2 The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 1565 Hooligan and Scoundrel
Some people say that politics is no different from playing with children. Today, the two children quarreled because of a piece of candy, crying and shouting to go home to find their mother, but tomorrow when another child takes a piece of cake to tempt yesterday's little friend, that kid will immediately be angry and reconcile with the "bad guy" who planned to die yesterday.
What makes these two children go from harmony to division is interests, and from division to reconciliation, it is still interests. Politics, in essence, is also true. Although this is not a very appropriate description, it also points out one of the fundamental characteristics of politics: there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies, only eternal interests.
Yes, it's profit.
Brother Hu doesn't think that in the face of sufficient interests, the Alice Group and the Zhang family will not return to their side, but what benefits to give up is a very serious problem for Brother Hu: just economic interests can no longer satisfy the appetite of the Zhang family.
Alice Group is not only the original Alice Group, the Zhang family is not the original Zhang family, they are no longer a simple commercial organization, no longer the company that still needs the support and support of the government to be able to develop rapidly, these years of rapid development, has made their company from a simple commercial organization into a comprehensive monster covering politics, economy, ideology and even military aspects.
Li Yumei, Zhang Lan's godmother, was just a small county party secretary with a small backstage, such a county party secretary. There are countless in the whole land of China.
But it is this small county party secretary, with the support of the Zhang family, who has now gone all the way to the position of vice premier. Although, given the peculiarities of politics, the chances of her becoming the prime minister in the right place are almost zero, the probability of becoming the first deputy prime minister is extremely high! Brother Hu also firmly believes that if it weren't for the support of the Zhang family, she would be a deputy provincial cadre at most now;
Wang Qiang, who was a small major company commander at the beginning, is just a small deputy director of the county public security bureau and the like, just because he has been following closely behind the Zhang family for many years, and he can only reach the level of major general at most, but now he has reached the position of lieutenant general, as long as the Zhang family does not collapse overnight, then he has a great possibility of rising to the rank of general!
Although he is in the factional side, he cannot become a real power boss such as the Minister of Defense or the first vice chairman of the Military Commission, but he can definitely become one of the most powerful bigwigs in the military.
In addition to these two representative figures, in the political and military circles, the Alice Group and Zhang Jiahe have supported many interest spokespersons, in the face of such an intertwined huge interest group, Brother Hu knows very well that even if he is himself, in front of such an intertwined force, he does not dare to offend them easily, as in the past, the example of saying that whoever is cleaned up is not applicable to them.
This is also the reason why Brother Hu wants to take this force for his own use! It's so tempting.
So now that Brother Hu has a headache, what should he do to get them to support him? In the end, how much profit should be conceded to ensure that you get sufficient support. And it won't affect your authority in the future?
As for the political form in the country, the real political tycoons all scoff at the current official propaganda, and if we had to add a precise definition, it would probably be more appropriate to describe it as "a peculiar political system with the characteristics of feudal feudalism, the characteristics of a capitalist oligarchy, and the characteristics of capitalist market competition" -- probably not in the world since ancient times, such a strange political model has appeared. …,
Although Zhang Lan is about to come over, Brother Hu has not yet reached a final conclusion on this issue.
Of course, Brother Hu is not the only one who has a headache at this moment, in the face of Brother Hu's possible reaction and the possible reaction of Alice Group, Jiang Dacheng, who is unwilling to fall silent, is also thinking about his plan in his heart at this moment.
According to our standard statement, since the established rules of the game cannot be changed, what Jiang Dacheng is thinking about now is, how can he "help the horse and send it off again"? Well, as for the distance of this send, of course, the farther the better! Don't you see that although the old man has retired for a long time, he is still sending himself?
――――――――――――――――
On 15 August, the rogue U.S. government once again showed its usual rogue features, declaring 10 countries, including North Korea, Iran, and Iraq, to be "rogue states" and the root cause of global terrorists, whose people are living under the shadowy reign of terror of these terrorists.
To "deliver" these people from the midst of a dark reign of terror. Beginning next month, the United States will intensify its economic blockade and sanctions against these "rogue states," and if these 10 "rogue states" refuse to "cooperate" with the US Government, the US Government will not rule out the possibility of taking further action or even taking military action.
Of course, this kind of thing like a declaration of human rights was originally carried out by the United States at a fixed time, but now the United States is not even bothered to use this last bit of fig leaf: if he does not quickly divert the boiling public resentment at home, Bush Jr. can already consider whether he is out of class and save face on major issues related to his position under his ass? What's that?
At the same time, the United States Government announced that, on the basis of secret information available to the United States Government, the Iraqi Government was secretly developing weapons of mass destruction.
The United States Government has issued a serious warning and warning to the Iraqi Government that it must immediately and unconditionally stop the research and development of weapons of mass destruction, and that the results of the research and development that have been achieved must be unconditionally handed over to the International Atomic Energy Agency for review and that the International Atomic Energy Agency must be allowed to enter the locations designated by the United States Government for inspection; At the same time, the Government of Iraq should make a public commitment to the international community not to engage in the research and development of weapons of mass destruction in the future.
At the same time, as a punitive measure against Iraq, a "rogue state," the US Government will further intensify its economic blockade of Iraq, and at the same time suspend the United Nations "oil-for-food" operation against Iraq for a temporary and indefinite period until the Iraqi Government fully realizes its mistakes, corrects them, and fully cooperates and cooperates with the international community.
As soon as this statement of the US government came out, the whole world was in an uproar!
Ordinary people may not understand what kind of medicine the Americans are buying in their gourds this time, but anyone who is a little politically minded and more concerned about the international political situation understands one thing: the Bush administration has now begun to eagerly start to divert the people's attention from the outside world to prepare for its next general election.
Indeed, in the more than two years since Bush Jr. came to power. Not only did this guy not make any substantial contribution to the economic development of the United States, but on the contrary, he squandered the huge fiscal surplus left over from the Clinton administration, but even so, the American economy not only did not grow, but regressed!
Not only that, during the Clinton administration, although the United States did not dare to say that it was peaceful, at least it was much better than the current situation, but after Bush Jr. took office, all kinds of turmoil occurred frequently in the United States, and all kinds of terrorist attacks emerged one after another, and in the end, he was arrogantly blown up by terrorists This word to describe! …,
Now that the degree of dissatisfaction with the Bush administration in the United States has reached a rather dangerous level, if Bush Jr. does not do anything to restore the confidence of the people, he does not have to wait for the expiration of his term to run for the next re-election, and it may not be impossible for him to be ousted from the presidency by the angry American people before he finishes his current term! How does this make the George W. Bush administration embarrassed?
At this time, one of the tricks used by George W. Bush's old man back then: Diverting the attention of the domestic people from sending troops abroad became a lifesaver for George W. Bush. As long as we find an excuse for foreign troops, find a country to beat them up and divert the attention of the people, and at the same time, we can also use this to give a stern warning to "some" countries that think that the United States is no longer good and are ready to move. Only in this way can Bush Jr. still have some hope for his re-election.
As for the alleged fact that Iraq is developing weapons of mass destruction. Even a fool knows that this is the dirty water that the Americans have broken on the Iraqis. There is no doubt that after more than 10 years of blockade after the Gulf War, Iraq's economic and military strength has dropped to a rather fragile level.
What the IAEA enters the sites set by the US government to conduct searches, what increases the intensity of the blockade, what stops the "oil for food" is nothing more than the Americans tightening the rope around the necks of the Iraqis,
I am afraid that the United States is not anxious about the impact on global security of the weapons of mass destruction that Iraq is researching. On the contrary, he was worried that the madman Saddam Hussein in Iraq would suddenly cooperate too much with him and not perform according to the script he had written.
As for saying that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction? Oh, even if you're a hooligan, you have to find an excuse, right? A lot of words even say that when that guy was a full kilometer away from him, holding a lollipop in his hand was a huge threat to Lao Tzu, a weapon of mass destruction, as long as it was an excuse, then it could always be found.
For a time, apart from daring to be angry or complaining about the hegemonic behavior of the Americans, the state and society all turned their eyes on Saddam, a madman, to see how this madman would react to the threat of the butcher's knife brandished by the Americans.
On the one hand, I hope that Saddam, a madman, can teach the Americans a lesson with practical actions, so that the Americans know that it is not your Yankees who have the final say in this world, and we also have great influence at critical moments; On the other hand, they were worried that Saddam Hussein would suddenly soften at this time.
On the one hand, he was afraid of Saddam's hardness, and on the other hand, he was afraid of Saddam's softness, which was a very contradictory mentality.
Of course, Saddam Hussein doesn't care what other people think, as a fanatical Islamist, when fighting with the Americans, no matter how difficult his situation is, Saddam Hussein always has a high fighting spirit, not to mention that the Americans are now just intensifying the economic blockade of Iraq, even if the Americans threaten Iraq's national fortunes, this guy will definitely not give in.
The madman Saddam, as a strongman who has been fighting with the Americans for so long, obviously will not give in so easily under the statement of the Americans, not to mention that when Will found him before, when he talked to him, Will had already made a detailed analysis of the situation between Iraq and the United States.
In the end, Will solemnly told Saddam Hussein, "In order to consolidate his rule, Bush Jr. will definitely choose to send troops abroad to ease the pressure on him and divert the people." Of all the options for sending troops, there is no doubt that Iraq is the weakest country and the country that is most likely to win the battle in the shortest possible time to allow the Americans to come to power. The time for the Americans to send troops, counting from now, I don't think it will be more than a year. So, Mr. President, this year is Iraq's last chance, and if I were you, I would keep the army ready for war at all times, and at the same time, some corresponding preparations would have to be made. ”…,
Now recall that Saddam Hussein and Ben. Both bin Laden were surprised to find that the sequence of events was exactly what Will had said! If it weren't for the fact that Will had provided so much support to himself before, even Saddam Hussein and Ben Hussein. Bin Laden wondered if Will was part of the core team in the George W. Bush administration.
In response to the US Government's statement, Saddam Hussein made a televised speech to Iraq the next day, in which Saddam resolutely denied that Iraq was engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction, and that all this was the vicious and evil intentions of the Americans, who had never given up their ambition to destroy Iraq and intended to force the strong and brave Iraqi people to submit in this way. However, the despicable and shameless Americans underestimated the determination of the Iraqi people to fight to the end for their own free swimming, and no matter what despicable ways the Americans use to oppress the Iraqi people, the Iraqi people will not succumb to the authority of the Americans, and will definitely fight the Americans to the end!
In the end, Saddam Hussein announced that starting today, Iraq will begin to change to a state of imminent war, and in two months the whole of Iraq will officially enter a state of war, and Iraq will no longer abide by the unequal conditions imposed on the Iraqi people by the Americans before, and will resume normal flight patrols within the no-fly zone from now on, and once the American plane enters Iraq's airspace, the Iraqi Republican Guard will shoot it down mercilessly!
After the televised speech, Saddam Hussein, together with Iraqi students who were holding a demonstration in Baghdad to protest against US hegemony, took part in this huge demonstration and conducted an unprecedented open-air march without bodyguards for more than an hour.
Sure enough, after Saddam's move, the anti-American voice in Iraq suddenly rose! A succession of anti-American demonstrations have been set off throughout the country, the military has consciously begun to increase the intensity of training in preparation for the next war against the Americans, and the people have actively devoted themselves to their own work and used their own strength to defend their country, and the whole of Iraq has become a sophisticated war machine.
Saddam's next demonstrations slapped the Americans in the face: Tell you Americans, no matter how bad the situation is, we Iraqis will never give in!
When Saddam Hussein's statement was released, the whole world was stunned! They thought that Saddam Hussein would not give in to Bush Jr., but what they did not expect was that Saddam's reaction would be so fierce! From now on, Iraq will begin to transition to a state of war? What does that mean? It shows that Iraq has begun to prepare for a war with the Americans!
During the Gulf War, the Iraqis suffered the loss of the new tactics of the United States, but after the Gulf War, the tactics used by the Americans in the Yugoslav War were basically the same as those used in the Gulf War.
Now that they have roughly figured out the tactics that the Americans may use, the military heads of countless countries can't help but be a little curious: What kind of results will the Americans achieve in this possible war? How long will the Iraqis be able to hold out and how much damage will they inflict on the Americans?
In their minds, the greatest degree that the Iraqis can do is just to cause some trouble for the Americans, although the size of the Americans' losses is uncertain, but there is absolutely no problem in winning Iraq, and the Americans will lose? Although they were very unhappy with the banditry of the Americans, they really never considered this issue.
Bush Jr. obviously did not expect Saddam Hussein to be so tough, and in the face of Saddam's tough statement, Bush Jr. did not respond at the first time, and it was not until the third day that he made a televised speech in annoyance and anger, and the central idea was that if the Iraqis and Saddam Hussein dared to disobey, be careful that the powerful fists of the Americans would beat you half to death or even directly kill Yunyun.
This statement can easily be understood as Bush Jr.'s anger after his dirty thoughts were punctured by Saddam, although in fact Bush Jr. was indeed annoyed and ......angry.
