Chapter 1800: All parties are calculating
Chapter 1800 All parties are calculating
Probably did not expect that the country that had always been looked down upon by them would suddenly make such a fierce reply, and in the face of the strong expression of the Chinese government, the US government suddenly lost its voice in a short period of time.
But then, the U.S. government was furious
When did this country, which has always been at its own kneading, a country that is second only to Japan and very consciously its own ATM, dare to react to itself in such a way?
Shame is a real shame
As soon as the Chinese government's toughest statement in the past 30 years came out, the whole world was shaken, and even the European powers were shocked and stunned by the sudden statement made by the Chinese government
Nor did they expect that the Chinese government, which had been moderate for nearly 30 years since the Vietnam War, would suddenly make such a tough statement. Are the Chinese really going to decide to stand up? This possibility makes many people nervous. There is no doubt that many people are unhappy to see China's rise, and those countries and governments in Europe and the United States with vested interests are the last thing they want to see China strong.
Except for the excited media who came like **, all governments suddenly lost their voices, and at this moment, the whole world is waiting for the reaction of the Americans.
In the face of Chinese provocations, how will the US government react?
————————————————————————
"I don't know what is good or bad," Bush Jr., who has been completely washed away by the smooth international status of the United States in the world over the past 100 years, and does not know what his surname is, frowned tightly, and his face was irritable, "Damn Chinese, who dare to provoke our status, must teach them a lesson, let these damn guys know what a serious mistake they have made."
What status? Of course, it is a position that dictates to all countries in the world.
"Of course, this is absolutely inadmissible...... Mr. President, what should we do next? Rice frowned and asked.
I have to admit that in many cases, women's ability to resist pressure is indeed much better than that of men, and in the face of the Chinese government's sudden counterattack without warning, President George W. Bush seems to have no choice but to be angry, but Rice knows that now is not the time to be angry, and the top priority should be to consider how to quickly find a response.
Rice's words made the others in the conference room feel a little ashamed.
They were in a similar mood to President George W. Bush just now, they were all angry and angry, and they only felt that their majesty had been challenged, and there was no place to vent their anger, but they did not think at all that now was not the time to vent, and it was right to think about how to deal with it...... Such a simple thing even needs a woman to remind herself.
In the United States, the status of women is not high, which can be the same as a woman who has to change her husband's surname after marriage, even in the United States, a high-profile place that emphasizes democracy and freedom, in fact, there is discrimination against women all the time, and Rice, as a black female politician, wants to gain the respect of her peers, it is even more difficult. But in any case, Rice earned the respect of these guys with his actual performance.
"Send our aircraft carriers over"
Based on the principle of the United States' long-standing first consideration when encountering international problems, after Rice said this, it was not the Secretary of Commerce who was in charge of military and foreign affairs. Evans hurriedly burst out a sentence.
What's the urgency of this guy?
Secretary of State Collin. Powell, Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and even Secretary of Energy Spencer Murphy. Abraham looked at this guy with an unhappy face: Although in the past military operations, you were the one who made the most money in the end, but in this kind of matter related to the national strategic security of the United States, it seems that you have no part in speaking, right?
This guy with an overstretched hand immediately caused everyone's dissatisfaction: everyone has a piece of their own territory, and the work that everyone is in charge of is their own land, otherwise what would everyone do with the division of labor and cooperation? Isn't it just for everyone to divide their own interests? Tang Dynasty. Evans's actions were naturally seen by everyone as coveting the meat in someone else's bowl.
If he covets others for a few days, he may covet his own tomorrow, and this guy's behavior is really not good on weekdays, naturally, everyone looks at this guy as more unpleasant. ,
"During the Taiwan Strait crisis, we also sent aircraft carriers to the past, and it was two aircraft carrier combat formations at a time, if I remember correctly, the president sent by President Clinton at that time had someone paint a graffiti picture on our warship." Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said in a strange way.
At the time of the Taiwan Strait crisis, the Chinese broke through the layers of blockade lines and cordons under the US Navy and drew a large torpedo explosion pattern on one of the warships of the two US aircraft carrier formations; everyone naturally knew that this incident was also regarded as a great shame by the US Government and military, but it is undeniable that the hand that the Chinese made back then was indeed frightened by the Americans and made the Americans deeply memorable.
In this way, Rumsfeld is also reminding Mr. Secretary of Commerce, who thinks he is a good secretary, that there is no problem in sending aircraft carriers in the past, but if the Chinese draw a picture on our ship at that time, or even directly paint something, then the face of the US **** team and the face of the US government will be lost
What if the Chinese took pictures of the paintings they had drawn? The U.S. government will not be a shameful problem at that time, and the U.S. government will lose face even in the international community
Since the Chinese can quietly paint such a picture on the US aircraft carrier without being noticed by the US Navy, then there must be some way to quietly transport their troops to the US aircraft carrier cordon, if the United States sends the aircraft carrier again this time, then what if the completely enraged Chinese quietly send it over not people, but torpedoes or missiles and other things?
The meaning of these words is unspoken, but it reveals a clear mockery, mocking Tang. Evans was overwhelmed and didn't see the situation clearly.
Sure enough, hearing Rumsfeld's words, Don . Evans's face changed suddenly, and he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
The other members of the staff team couldn't help but feel secretly cool in their hearts: Let you stretch out your hand indiscriminately, did you get pierced this time?
"Since everyone thinks that military means are not appropriate at this time, how should we maintain dual pressure on China and Taiwan?" George W. Bush, who has already adjusted his emotions, asked.
"I think it's better to use economic means to force Chinese to swallow this bitter fruit by economic means." Rice officially threw out his thoughtful thoughts in the past few days, "I think that when we cannot guarantee a strong and overwhelming military advantage over China, using economic means to force the Chinese to submit is the best way at present." ”
"Good idea" Bush Jr. nodded and praised: Yes, as the world's largest economic power, economic means should be the most powerful way for oneself, since Chinese is not afraid of one's own military means, then it is better to use economic means...... Over the years, when it comes to playing economic means, Bush Jr. is very sure of one thing: No country has ever been able to play with the United States in terms of economic means.
Sure enough, he is not his most trusted assistant, looking at Rice's face, Bush Jr. suddenly had a smile on his face.

How will the U.S. government react? The bigwigs above are constantly thinking about this problem.
To tell the truth, the bigwigs above didn't expect that this time it was just 54 military transport planes from the hands of Alice Group, which caused such a big movement in Lao Mei.
In the past, China bought fighter planes from Lao Maozi, hundreds of them were purchased at a time, and Lao Mei did not have such a big movement, this time it was just 54 military transport planes or special aircraft with different purposes.
It's just that everyone can't get off the stage, but there are more serious things waiting for him, Brother Hu has already heard the voices of some compromisers within him, these guys who are like frightened rabbits when they are a little bit troubled abroad, are frightened by the tough statements of the Americans, and many people even said that they want to follow the actions of the old woman at the end of the Qing Dynasty, "measure the material resources of China and form a friendship with the country."
What are these words When he heard these words, although Brother Hu had always been calm, he almost dropped the cup in anger, he had no doubt that if he really dared to do such a thing, and even before he could do it, he would be ousted from power, and the faction he was in would be stepped on countless feet by other angry factions, and he would never be able to turn over. Therefore, this matter must be resolved as quickly as possible, otherwise some capitulation factions in the party may start to stumble again. ,
What should I do? Brother Hu gently rubbed his temples with a headache: What a headache.
In fact, this issue is not only being considered by the Chinese government, but also by other countries: Will the Americans send warships in the direction of the Taiwan Strait to put pressure on the Chinese? If the Americans really sent aircraft carriers over, would the Chinese make-for-tat moves?
If the Americans do not take military action, what kind of countermeasures will they take?
All kinds of possibilities make the media and government think tank teams who have always liked to play with lip service and pen sticks also worry about their brains.
"Chief?"
Seeing that Brother Hu had been sitting there and pondering for more than an hour, the secretary was a little worried and called out tentatively.
"Oh, it's Xiao Liu." The secretary's voice woke Brother Hu from his contemplation, glanced up at his secretary, and nodded with a smile, "Something?" ”
Brother Hu has always been good to the people around him, and he also knows that his secretary is very good, his quality is very good in all aspects, and his ability is also outstanding - of course, if it is not for his ability and quality, loyalty and other aspects, this guy will not be arranged by Brother Hu to be cultivated as a confidant by his side, who in the officialdom does not know that the secretary is the chief's confidant? - Since Xiao Liu interrupted his thoughts at this time, or maybe something is going on?
"It's nothing," Secretary Liu glanced at Brother Hu with some concern, "It's just that you have been thinking about the problem for too long, chief, don't you take a break?" ”
As Brother Hu's secretary, and also one of the very few people in this country who can access the most core secrets, Secretary Liu certainly knows what problems Brother Hu has encountered this time, and as Brother Hu's confidant, Secretary Liu naturally understands that if this matter cannot be satisfactorily resolved, it will be a huge test for Brother Hu...... If Brother Hu has a problem, it will naturally affect his own interests.
So that's what happened? Brother Hu couldn't help but shake his head and smile, and nodded with satisfaction, "Well, Xiao Liu has a heart." ”
Complimented by the chief? Secretary Liu was happy in his heart.
But...... Looking at Secretary Liu, who was restrained and happy, Brother Hu's mind suddenly moved slightly: Xiao Liu's time with him is not short, whether it is ability or knowledge, and his loyalty is enough, it is time to let go out and take charge of himself, why not follow this matter to test this kid's true ability?
With this thought, Brother Hu nodded and asked, "Xiao Liu, you know everything this time, right?" ”
"Yes, chief, I know something about what has happened these days." Secretary Liu nodded respectfully, adhering to the basic principles of being a secretary, and didn't say much.
"In that case, tell me what the Americans will do?"
Chief, this is ...... Are you testing me and my abilities? With a sharp turn in his mind, Secretary Liu immediately understood what Brother Hu meant, and thought that he had worked by Brother Hu's side for enough time, and it was time to go out and exercise his ability, could it be? Secretary Liu's heart was suddenly overjoyed: Could it be that the chief is planning to release himself?
"This ...... Chief, I don't think that's appropriate, right? Although he had roughly guessed Brother Hu's thoughts, Secretary Liu still respectfully adhered to the principle of being his secretary, and said with a difficult face.
"If I let you say it, you can say it, and it doesn't matter if it's wrong." Brother Hu laughed and encouraged.
"Since the chief has commanded, then I will say something about my personal immature opinion?" Secretary Liu said tentatively.
Brother Hu nodded and didn't speak, obviously waiting for Secretary Liu's answer.
Sure enough, Brother Hu's expression became more and more so that Secretary Liu affirmed the guess in his heart just now, and quickly organized his thoughts, "Chief, my opinion is definitely far from being comparable to yours, it is very shallow, if there is something wrong, please teach me more." ”
"Hmm." Brother Hu nodded in response.
"Yes. I think, first of all, although the possibility of the Americans to take military means seems to be the greatest, but in fact the possibility of them to use military means is actually the smallest, and the Americans have had examples of secretly fighting with us in the past few years, but in the end they were taught a hard lesson by us, and I don't think the Americans will take similar actions again until we understand how we did it...... Although the Americans value interests more, they cannot afford to lose the Chinese. ”
What Secretary Liu said, of course Brother Hu knew very clearly, nodded, gave Secretary Liu an encouraging smile, and motioned for him to continue. ,
Sure enough, seeing Brother Hu's expression, the guess in Secretary Liu's heart became stronger and stronger, it seems that it is a certain thing, this assessment is directly related to his impression of Brother Hu, and directly related to his future future Thinking of this, Secretary Liu shook his spirit even harder, and tried his best to make his mind clearer, so as to leave a deep impression on Brother Hu with this answer, and win enough impression points for himself, so that Brother Hu had this "final exam" The teacher gave himself the highest possible score.
"For the Americans, while their sheer power is indeed intimidating, for us, the actions they can take are nothing more than political, military and economic means."
"Needless to say, the political atmosphere between China and the United States has been lowered to the lowest point because of the United States' wanton violation of China's national sovereignty and territorial integrity, so I personally believe that it is unlikely that the Americans will want to find a countermeasure from the political aspect. As for military means, it is also unlikely, and in the absence of a means that can guarantee the safety of their navy, they will never act rashly. Since neither political nor military means will work, the Americans are most likely to resort to economic means. ”
Speaking of this, Secretary Liu smiled embarrassedly, "Chief, this is just my personal opinion, let the chief you laugh, if there is anything wrong, please criticize and correct it, chief." ”
"Not bad, very good, very insightful," Secretary Liu's answer made Brother Hu feel very relieved, and he rarely stood up and patted Secretary Liu's shoulder, "Xiao Liu is good, he is a good seedling." ”
This means that the possibility of being released by yourself is almost 100 percent? At this moment, Secretary Liu's heart was suddenly filled with a sudden surprise.

"The biggest possibility for Americans is to resort to economic means, what are you going to do?" Compared with the United States and Brother Hu, Alice is much more direct, after synthesizing the information summarized from all sides and briefly introducing the situation to Zhang Lan, Alice asked Zhang Lan directly.
"Since the enthusiastic American people have decided on the path they have chosen, then we have no reason not to support them," Zhang Lan smiled, smiling treacherously, "I am just a little curious, if the Americans suddenly find that the force they rely on to maintain hegemony suddenly becomes unreliable, what kind of expressions will the faces of the Americans be?" ”
