Chapter 247: The Second Option

readx;

"Before I came here, I attended a few high-level meetings. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Li Tingxuan took a step towards the beach in the southwest of the island," "As in the past, there are still disagreements at the top on major issues. As you know, no one can afford to take responsibility for these major strategic decisions, which will affect not only our generation, but also our children and grandchildren, and even change the future of an entire nation. ”

"You can't just do nothing because you need to be held accountable."

"Your point of view is not wrong, but in reality, it is not so simple."

"That is, the above still does not reach a conclusion."

Li Tingxuan smiled and said, "The main difference is whether we should speed up the historical process and seize this precious opportunity. ”

"Since it's an opportunity, you shouldn't miss it."

"That's because you don't see the danger lurking behind the opportunity."

Liu Wei frowned and did not argue with Li Tingxuan.

"To put it simply, for us, there are two options." Li Tingxuan paused slightly and said, "First, take advantage of this opportunity to continue to deepen economic reform, and strive to surpass the United States in terms of economic aggregate and become the world's number one economic power within 10 to 15 years." In the meantime, the first thing we have to do is to improve our position in international finance and join forces with the EU to suppress the dollar. Of course, we will never be able to surpass the United States in economic construction alone, so we will also invest heavily in other aspects, such as social system, culture and education, and scientific research, so as to enhance the country's comprehensive strength in an all-round way. Wait until we surpass the United States in basic strength, and then challenge the hegemony of the United States. ”

"It's a very long-term plan."

"It is true that it is not difficult to surpass the United States in terms of economic aggregate, but in consideration of our special national conditions, it is simply impossible to surpass the United States in terms of comprehensive strength in a few decades. If nothing else, the gap between us and the United States is very obvious in basic science alone. What's more, the United States will not decline forever during these decades. If the United States is allowed to survive this crisis, we will face the same dilemma again. ”

"The point is that the United States will not let us be left alone, and will definitely try to hit us by all means."

Li Tingxuan nodded and said: "Maybe in the next war, the United States will not regard us as an adversary, and will even compromise with us to some extent, so as to gain our support, at least acquiescence." The problem is that when the United States recovers from the blow, it will treat us as its number one adversary. We can influence the next war, but we can't control the war that will break out in a few years, or more than a decade. As long as the United States has this idea, it will not be long before we will have to compete with the United States in the international arena in a completely passive situation. ”

"If we are strategically passively beaten, we have no chance at all."

"It's not completely reactive, at least in the meantime, we've been able to solve the biggest problems."

"What's the problem?"

Li Tingxuan paused slightly and said: "As long as the United States targets Iran, we will be able to take advantage of the great opportunity when the US military has no time to take care of anything else to achieve peaceful reunification." ”

"Taiwan?"

Li Tingxuan nodded and said, "We are already working hard in this regard, and Zhang Jinnan, who was instigated by you, has played a vital role, and what is missing now is just an appropriate opportunity." ”

Liu Wei nodded thoughtfully and said, "This is also a good choice, after peaceful reunification, we will have more energy and ability to deal with other challenges." ”

"That being said, but when the time comes, we still have to face the United States."

"So, what about the second option?"

"Set yourself on fire."

"What!?"

"Find a way for the United States to target North Korea and let the United States fight a war that it will never win, so as to put a boulder on the United States and make the United States miss the opportunity to turn over. As long as it succeeds, the United States will inevitably decline rapidly, and if it does not become a second-rate country, it will lose its hegemonic status. When the time comes, we, the EU, Russia, and even Benben will have more say. ”

"The world pattern will change from one superpower and many powers to many powers."

"The United States has lost its hegemony, and the juxtaposition of major powers will inevitably change the rules of the game, and we have gained more than just the right to speak. If we can be the ones who make the rules of the game, we can reap immeasurable benefits. ”

"The thing is, it's not easy."

Li Tingxuan smiled and said, "You are right, even if this situation occurs, it is still impossible for us to stand in the center of the international stage. In any case, the United States has a very close relationship with Europe. After losing its hegemonic throne, the most likely thing the United States can do is to cooperate with the EU, and even help the EU achieve military and political reunification, so as to turn the EU headed by France, Germany, Italy, and Britain into another superpower. ”

"In doing so, the United States will also lose a lot."

"But you can get more. A Europe that has friendly relations with the United States and shares a common culture, beliefs, and values will certainly become a helper for the United States to continue to dominate the world. It is undeniable that at that time, Europe will also ask for the right to speak, participate in the formulation of the rules of the game, and gain the status of equal to the United States. It's just that with a total decline, allowing us or Russia to gain the power to dominate the world, the United States prefers to share with Europe. ”

Liu Wei let out a long sigh and said: "That's true, if you really want to get to this point, the United States has no better choice." ”

"We're not completely out of the box."

"But it's nowhere near as good as the United States."

Li Tingxuan nodded and said: "Russia is good to say, as long as this is done on the four northern islands, Russia will fight side by side with us in the short term." If we are willing to compromise on certain issues and share strategic interests with Russia, we can get more support. The key lies in the EU, and if we fail to win over the EU, we will have to face a strong country that stands with the United States. It may be difficult for the EU to unify under a central government in the short term, but we must not ignore the EU's influence. ”

"There is a lot of risk, there is a big reward."

"You're right, if we can win over the EU, we can get the most out of it."

"This should be a diplomatic issue."

Li Tingxuan shook his head with a smile and said, "If diplomacy can solve all problems, the army will be worthless. Besides, diplomacy is also based on strength. You should have heard that a weak country has no diplomacy. Only when we are strong, or let others think that we are strong, can we have a diplomatic voice. ”

"So we have to do something."

"And do it beautifully."

Liu Wei smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, do you think you should choose the second path." Although this road is full of dangers and challenges, and the hope of success is not very great, after the success of the adventure, our gains are even greater, and we even have the opportunity to surpass the United States in one fell swoop. ”

"Whether we can surpass the United States depends on how we do it."

Liu Wei nodded and said: "First of all, we have to make trouble for the United States, and the best way is to ignite Yuben's ambitions and let Yuben do it on the four northern islands." ”

"With our help, Russia will not lose too badly, even if it does not win."

"The key is whether the United States attacks North Korea."

Li Tingxuan sighed and said, "In addition to trying to get the United States to target North Korea, we also have to help North Korea win this war, and we have to win beautifully." ”

"Only in this way can other countries believe that the United States has declined, and it is not good to continue to follow the United States."

"Basically, it's fair to say, it's just that war is not the only means. Outside of the battlefield, we will also take action, such as diplomatic efforts. Li Tingxuan paused slightly and said, "The most important thing is to let the whole world know that the United States attacked North Korea not in retaliation for the attack on Manhattan, but for the sake of war for the sake of war, so that the United States military action will lose its legal surname." ”

"Let the United States be the unjust party to the war?"

Li Tingxuan nodded and said, "That's probably what it means, only in this way can the prestige of the United States be undermined and the United States have to lose this war." ”

"It will make the EU have some concerns when it gets closer to the United States."

"In the short term, the main thing is to keep the European Union, especially those European countries that have close ties with the United States, out of the matter, and there is no need for us to meet with European troops in North Korea."

Liu Wei thought for a moment and said, "So, what do you want me to do?" ”

"You already know."

"Is this a decision from above, or is it yours?"

"It's certainly not my decision, I'm just an intelligence officer, and my role is to provide reference intelligence to the country's leaders, not to develop a strategic plan."

Liu Wei smiled and said, "However, this is not necessarily a decision made by the high-level meeting. ”

"We'll have to wait until the high-level meeting makes a decision, I'm afraid we'll have to be patient."

"Okay, I'll think about it when I get back and contact you."

"You know what to do, just make your own decisions, there's no need to tell me."

"But ......"

"At this time, it's better for me to know less, after all, you are aiming at the United States, and you are pushing the United States into the abyss from which it will never recover." Li Tingxuan smiled and said, "No matter what our relationship is, I don't want to get involved in this operation." The construction here is almost complete, when are you going to move here? ”

"I'm preparing, after all, I have a lot of property in the United States, so I can't leave it all behind for the future."

"Money is important, but don't get obsessed with it, or it will disorient you and make you miss the best time to leave the center of the vortex."

Liu Wei nodded and said, "I understand what you mean, I will make arrangements as soon as possible when I go back." ”

"Alright, I'll wait for your good news."

This time it was the same, Liu Wei took the plane to leave first, and Li Tingxuan stayed on the island for a few hours before leaving.

On the way back to Las Vegas, Liu Wei thought carefully and realized that this time the challenge was even more daunting.
