When it comes to domestic affairs, Li Tingxuan is not so excited. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Liu Wei and Mobei Wolf didn't ask much, both of them knew that this was a very sensitive issue.

When the global financial crisis erupted, some far-sighted scholars suggested that it was a very rare strategic opportunity, while others argued that the only way to resolve the financial crisis was a large-scale war that would consume the surplus accumulated since the end of the Cold War.

Leaving aside the correctness of these two views, it must be admitted that the financial crisis has changed the world pattern.

Objectively speaking, in the past few years, the mainland's domestic and foreign policies could only be described as decent, and it did not make serious mistakes or seize opportunities. The real winner is not the emerging economies known as the BRICS, but the old United States. Through the global financial crisis, the United States not only resolved the subprime mortgage crisis at home, but also consolidated its position as a global hegemon through a series of actions.

Many people may not agree with this view, but the facts are in front of us.

Before the financial crisis, almost everyone expected the continent to overtake the United States as the world's largest economy and market nation within two decades. Equally growing is Russia, which has made its fortune on exporting resources such as oil, and Europe, which is moving towards a unified euro through the introduction of the euro. After the outbreak of the financial crisis, although the mainland's development speed has not slowed down, the gap between the mainland and the United States in terms of overall strength has not narrowed, but has widened. Because the price of resources has plummeted, Russia is very unhappy. The European Union, on the other hand, is mired in a sovereign debt crisis and is simply incapable of challenging the United States. Equally unfortunate is the financial and tsunami shocks, and the domestic problems are riddled with this.

To put it more bluntly, in this financial crisis, the mainland has lost tens of thousands of export orders, tens of millions of businesses, tens of thousands of bankrupt enterprises, and a general decline in workers' wages. All Americans lose is the opportunity to go on a ski holiday in Switzerland.

As far as the mainland is concerned, the international situation in the past few years, especially the situation in the surrounding areas, is not optimistic at all.

Needless to say, a formal establishment of the National Defense Force poses a far greater threat to the mainland than the United States. In the Central Asian direction, the war in Afghanistan is still in full swing. In South Asia, India and the United States are getting closer. In Southeast Asia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia have long been in a group, breathing out from the same nostrils as the United States, making the South China Sea dispute more complicated.

During this sensitive period, it is not difficult to understand that the foreign policy of the mainland authorities tends to be conservative.

It's just that in the face of such a crisis, we must do something and find a breakthrough.

It is said that this is an ideal breakthrough!

Liu Wei knew about the "plan to fall into the country," and he also knew that the mainland had always pursued a policy toward the United States, that is, to weaken the US-China alliance and even turn the United States against each other by exaggerating the rhetoric.

That being the case, the mainland authorities will certainly do something on the issue of the four northern islands.

"We do not support the use of force to resolve territorial disputes, but we are not in charge of other people's affairs." Li Tingxuan made a pun and said, "On the issue of the four northern islands, we support the interests of Japan and Russia's legitimate demands. If we take a risk, our basic policy is to maintain the status quo. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Since the Yalta Agreement recognizes the ownership of the four northern islands, and Russia actually occupies and controls them, there is no reason for us to support a change in the status quo, especially by force." Li Tingxuan smiled, "Although we are not the protagonists, we can't do nothing. ”

"So you have to provoke Russia and Ben?"

"It's not a provocation, it's just doing what needs to be done." Li Tingxuan extinguished the cigar that only had the butt of his cigarette left, and said, "After Ikawa Kojiro's visit to New Delhi, there has been a rift in Russian-Indian relations. Of course, freezing three feet is not a cold day, and as early as a few years ago, Russian-Indian relations went wrong. For example, when selling the aircraft carrier "Gorshkov", Russian shipbuilders deliberately manipulated. For another example, in the contract of 350 multi-role fighters, India is inclined to Europe and the United States. All this has caused Russia and India to drift apart. That's not necessarily a good thing for us. After all, India, which has close ties with Russia, has some concerns when dealing with border issues. As India throws itself into the arms of Western countries, especially with the United States, our strategic interests in the direction of South Asia will inevitably suffer. ”

"What does this have to do with the four northern islands?"

"To put it bluntly, Russia needs to do something to save face from the damage."

Liu Wei frowned and said, "In other words, Russia will not make concessions on the issue of the four northern islands, and even do not hesitate to fight with Yueben?" ”

Li Tingxuan nodded and said: "Although the current Russia is very different from the Russia during the war, for Russia, which strives to become a world power, any strategic concessions are unacceptable. A few years ago, Russia purchased four Mistral-class amphibious landing ships from France and deployed two of them to the Pacific Fleet in order to strengthen the strategic defense of the four northern islands. It is conceivable that as long as the company takes a reckless step, Russia will definitely not be relentless, and will at least mobilize all its military forces in the Far East to fight with the country. ”

"In this way, Russia's odds of winning will not be so small."

"Not necessarily, in my opinion, Russia is bound to lose."

"Why?" Mobei Wolf asked.

"The treaty of alliance between the United States and the United States does not include the four northern islands, but it does include the mainland of Japan. In other words, as long as Russia attacks the homeland, the United States will enter the war. Of course, there must be a premise for this, that is, the country did not expand the scale of the conflict and did not attack the Russian mainland. ”

"In other words, Russia will be afraid and will not attack the mainland?"

Li Tingxuan nodded and said, "This is very critical, Ikawa Kojiro is crazy, but he is not stupid. With the military strength of the original book, as long as the scale of the conflict is controlled, victory is only a matter of time. It can be said that as long as the soldiers do not reach the point of madness, they will not attack the Russian mainland. Out of scruples about the United States, Russia will not rashly attack the mainland. In the case of a limited scale of the conflict, the two sides are fighting for naval and air forces. In this regard, the gap between Russia and Ben is not half a point. ”

"Since Russia is bound to lose this conflict, what else do we have to do?"

"Losing a conflict, losing a few islands, does not mean that Russia has been completely defeated."

Liu Wei frowned, and Mobei Wolf's expression became serious.

"It is conceivable that after losing the four northern islands, Russia will definitely not give up. Although it is very likely that Russia will part ways with the United States because of the secret development of nuclear weapons, it will be difficult for Russia to surpass it in the short term, regardless of whether it is a country with nuclear weapons or a country that has been sheltered by the United States. ”

"You mean, Russia will look for allies?"

Li Tingxuan nodded and said: "Russia has no other choice but to look for allies, especially allies with common interests. ”

Liu Wei said with a smile: "In this case, we are the best choice." ”

Li Tingxuan also laughed and said: "Although our relations with Russia have greatly improved from the end of the last century to the beginning of this century, and we were once very close, as two neighboring powers, there must be essential contradictions, and it is difficult to become allies in the true sense. This can be seen in Russia's relations with us and with India. It's just that after losing the four northern islands, India will certainly not continue to follow Russia, and even if it does not immediately turn to the United States, it will keep its distance from Russia on major issues. It can be said that at this point, Russia will have no choice but to move closer to us and deal with the common enemy. ”

Liu Wei and Mobei Wolf both nodded thoughtfully, indicating that they understood what Li Tingxuan meant.

"Thankfully, we're not what we were more than a decade ago, with more capital." Li Tingxuan picked up the second cigar, "Before coming over, I met Wang Xueming, and he mentioned one thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Russia wants to import a couple of engines from us."

"What engine?"

Li Tingxuan lit a cigar and took two puffs before saying, "Of course, it was the engine you got from the book, but after we improved it, it was finalized as Taihang Fifteen." ”

Liu Wei and Mobei Wolf were both shocked, and then understood.

"There have always been problems with the power system of the T-50, and if it can't be solved, let alone put into production in 2018, it will be very good to be finalized in 2025. Because the development schedule is far behind schedule, finalization and mass production are far away, and the United States has lowered its export standards, India has stopped investing in the T-50 and is in contact with the United States in the hope of directly purchasing the F-22i and F-35AI to replace the Su-30MKI and MiG-29 imported from Russia. If this is the case, the T-50 is likely to be dismounted. ”

"Not necessarily, at least Russia needs this kind of fighter."

"I don't know exactly how it is, these things belong to the three ministries and have little to do with us."

"According to you, the above hopes that this conflict will break out, and that Russia will be defeated and lost?"

Li Tingxuan smiled and said, "You just need to understand, don't say it too thoroughly." ”

Liu Wei and Mobei Wolf both frowned.

"No decision has been made above, and you should know that this kind of thing is almost impossible to agree on at the decision-making level."

"So you found us?" Liu Wei immediately understood.

Li Tingxuan nodded and said, "Because it's not the highest decision, we can't come forward." Fortunately, you are not within the scope of the Second Ministry, and what you are doing has nothing to do with the Second Ministry, so no matter what you do, it has nothing to do with me. ”

"Lao Li, you are too unkind." Liu Wei made a joke.

"There's no way, it's a special period, and to deal with special problems, you naturally have to use special means."

"The question is, what does this have to do with betting?" Mobei Wolf interjected.

"Helping Orel win the game is equivalent to sending four billion dollars to the National Security Service of Russia. That guy isn't stupid, he must know you're secretly helping. Find an opportunity to get closer to him. In due course, I will provide intelligence to the Federal Security Service of Russia through you. Of course, I won't come forward, and neither will the second part. You have to disguise yourself as an intelligence broker. ”

"Lao Li, you overestimate us, we're just gamblers."

"If you can't do it, you can let Chai Jinkang do it."

Liu Wei sighed, knowing that there was no way to refuse, so he didn't say anything.

"You're not going to be heartbroken with that money, are you? Listening to Yuan Changqing, the cost of forming the FOS Legion and the retransformation of ten people has been put in place. Money is something outside the body, just enough for it. ”

"Lao Li, having said that, we have to make a little rush."

"This thing is easy to say, and if it is done well, your benefits are indispensable."

Liu Wei and Mobei Wolf both smiled bitterly, Li Tingxuan has said it to this point, what else is there to say?
