The mainland is involved, and the United States cannot sit still. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This is not that the United States is afraid of a conflict with the mainland, after all, neither side is a fuel-efficient lamp, but in the alliance treaty with the United States, the Diaoyu Islands are within the scope of the obligations of the US military. In other words, if the mainland takes this opportunity to join forces with Russia in order to regain the Diaoyu Islands, then the United States cannot stay out of the situation.

The result is obvious: the United States has to confront two powerful countries for the sake of its roots.

In the past, the United States would not have been afraid. In fact, if it is really a few months of money, it is said that Ben will not have the courage to go against the will of the United States to start a war with Russia. The United States is very reluctant to see such a thing happen. As long as the United States is still staring at Iran and intends to make a fuss about Iran, it must maintain good relations with other major powers as much as possible, instead of setting up more enemies for the sake of something insignificant.

This is reflected very clearly in the attitude of the United States towards this war.

Since the outbreak of the conflict, the United States authorities have only issued a less force-worded, shoe-tickling statement condemning both warring sides, and have remained silent ever since.

Although on many occasions, the President of the United States, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Chairmen of the Armed Services Committees of both houses of Congress have expressed their views on this conflict in different ways, and have repeatedly reiterated that the United States will not confront Russia for the sake of the conflict, let alone provide any form of assistance to the United States during the conflict. For this reason, after the outbreak of the conflict, the United States also withheld a batch of weapons that should be handed over to Yueben, including the first batch of F-35B fighters and the third batch of F-22J fighters, and even the sale of electromagnetic catapults to Yueben was shelved. But these statements still can't appease Russia. Senior Russian officials have repeatedly hinted that Ben's ability to quickly seize air supremacy in the conflict has a lot to do with the help provided by the United States, especially intelligence support.

Whether or not the United States has provided military intelligence for the United States is probably anyone's guess.

The real problem is the relationship between the United States and Ben.

The two countries are allies, and they have always been the dominant alliance of the United States, and they are under the command of the United States. Now that the United States has brazenly launched a war in disregard of the opposition of the United States, either the United States has lost its ability to control the United States, or the United States is secretly conniving at the United States.

Obviously, the United States will not recognize the former.

It can be said that this is precisely the main reason why the United States has repeatedly opposed its insistence on going its own way.

In the face of this embarrassing situation, the United States really has no other way but to remain silent.

When there is a danger of an expansion of the conflict, it is inappropriate for the United States to remain silent any longer.

Just as Foreign Minister Ben was flying to the mainland, US President Cronin summoned the mainland's ambassador to the United States to express the United States' strong concern over the conflict and expressed the hope that the mainland would remain neutral and refrain from any move to intensify bilateral contradictions and expand the scope of the conflict.

Of course, the US president received a very positive reply that the mainland would not take the initiative to provoke incidents.

This reply is also very knowledgeable.

Not taking the initiative to provoke an incident does not mean that the other side will tolerate the provocative measures of the other side.

In the presence of Cronin, the mainland ambassador mentioned a very sensitive issue, that is, the Fourth Fleet of the Navy, which has been operating in the East China Sea, has already posed a threat to the mainland, and for this reason the mainland military must maintain a high state of combat readiness and carry out more frequent combat readiness patrol tasks. In such a sensitive period, it is very likely that warships and warplanes of the two sides will encounter each other unexpectedly, and if the navy takes the initiative to provoke, the mainland will be forced to counterattack.

This is a very real problem that Cronin cannot ignore.

The problem is not with the mainland army, but with the army.

It can be said that the Chinese army is very nervous, especially after the Russian Navy has sent an aircraft carrier battle group and it is very likely to dock at a port on the mainland, it is very likely that the officers and men at the grassroots level of the Chinese army will regard the mainland as a potential adversary, and thus make some drastic moves when they encounter them at sea.

Influenced by this, Cronin immediately called a hotline with the mainland leaders.

This time, he encountered a new problem, that is, after the Russian-Russian conflict, if he embarked on the road of militarism, how could the mainland's national security and national interests be guaranteed?

Obviously, that's the most critical issue.

Regardless of what the mainland will do next, that is, whether it secretly supports Russia or not, all of its actions are related to the strategic threat that the mainland feels.

The problem is that Cronin cannot deny that the book has gone out of control, that is, the mainland's strategic security has been threatened.

In this way, even if Cronin cannot accept it, the mainland will take some necessary measures for the sake of its own national interests, especially the strategic security that has a bearing on the survival of the country and the nation. Although in a broad sense, even if the mainland takes proactive action on the issue of the Diaoyu Islands, it is only a strategic defensive measure, and the fundamental purpose is to expand its strategic depth and provide a more solid strategic shield for its eastern coastal areas, which have the most concentrated population and the most developed economy.

Can the United States oppose the mainland doing this?

There is no problem in opposing it, but it is absolutely impossible for the United States to go to war with the mainland because of this issue.

You must know that the relationship between countries must be reasonable as well as strength. Even if the United States attacks Iraq, even if all countries believe that the United States has violated international treaties and invaded a sovereign country, the United States stands on the moral side and has produced concocted evidence, so even if other countries oppose it, they will not act against the United States because of this.

To put it thoroughly, if the United States is unreasonable in this matter and does not take the mainland's strategic security demands seriously, there will be no reason for the mainland to continue to play its cards in accordance with the rules of the game set by the United States and to act against the United States on more issues, thereby jeopardizing US interests.

Faced with questions from the mainland authorities, it was difficult for Cronin to give a definite answer.

If it does not support it, the mainland will join this war without hesitation, putting the United States in an embarrassing position. If it is supported, it is tantamount to betraying the capital, fueling the arrogance of the mainland, and may even allow the mainland to gain the main voice in the western Pacific region in the short term.

Of course, this kind of dialogue between the top leaders cannot be said to death.

In the absence of an answer, the mainland leaders made concessions and proposed a compromise plan, that is, when the mainland embarked on the road of militarism and posed a serious threat to the mainland's strategic security, the mainland was likely to be forced to take a tougher stance on the Diaoyu Islands and restore jurisdiction over the islands by means other than negotiations, and the United States must remain silent on this issue.

Even so, Cronin did not immediately agree, but only promised to give the mainland a clear answer as soon as possible.

This is not a matter of false faith, and it is still less likely to be unfounded, because there is a recording of the hotline between the heads of state of the mainland and the United States, and any reply from Cronin has legal effect.

The question is once again back in the hands of the United States, and the key question at this time is where the US-China relations will go.

When Cronin convened a meeting of cabinet members, Liu Wei received a message from Li Tingxuan. Liu Wei didn't know that when Cronin called Xing Yuanzhao, Li Tingxuan was by Xing Yuanzhao's side. The content of the message is very simple: Find out as soon as possible the basic attitude of the United States on the issue.

For Liu Wei, this is a relatively simple task.

Before receiving the news, Liu Wei received a call from Rogers, asking him to go to Chicago to attend a meeting of all members of the Skull and Bones Party to discuss current hot issues.

Obviously, the conflict between Russia and Russia has already caused the Skull and Bones Party to see trouble.

"Do not doubt the influence of the Skull Party, the silence of the US authorities is definitely related to the Skull Party." The gray-backed jackal shook his head with a smile and said, "To put it simply, those elites of the Skull Party didn't expect that they would have gone their own way, let alone that Lao Maozi would be so tough. This conflict, which has disrupted the strategic deployment of the United States, has had an impact on the goals that the Skull and Bones Party is striving for. ”

"The key is what topics they're going to discuss at this meeting."

"There will definitely be a lot of topics to discuss, but there is only one key topic."

"What?"

"The direction of development."

Liu Wei frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's too early to discuss this issue now." ”

"If we don't see it clearly now, and wait until the dust settles to discuss it, the Skull and Bones Party will not deserve to dominate the United States, and it will be impossible to control the power of the United States."

"In other words, we have to be one step ahead of everyone else."

The grayback jackal smiled and said, "If I'm guessing correctly, this is not the war that Ikawa Kojiro wants to see, maybe he has been trying to reduce the impact of the war." ”

"What does this have to do with the future of the book?"

"If I am not wrong in this judgment, then the outcome of this conflict does not matter, and the impact will irrevocably push the story onto the road of militarism."

"What do you mean......"

"To put it simply, if the militarists had triggered the conflict and forced Ikawa Kojiro to make the decision to go to war, then he would have been under the control of the militarist clique. If the war is won, the militarist clique can make full use of the fruits of victory and convince the people that only war can bring benefits to the capital. If the war is lost, it will be the prime minister, not the militarist clique, who will be held responsible, and then the tragic feelings of the people will be exploited, so that more people will become nationalists. ”

"According to you, before the outbreak of war, the result was already determined."

"So to speak, and those elites of the Skull Party can certainly see that."

"In that case, what should I do?"

"Just remember that the Skull Party's first priority is to secure America's interests, and other countries, even the best allies, are out of their minds. The Skull and Bones don't care about what Ben has become, they only care about the impact of this change. ”

Liu Wei nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he understood the meaning of the gray-backed jackal.

"This is the best opportunity we've had so far. If you grasp it, it will be much easier to do it later. The gray-backed jackal paused slightly and said, "Don't worry too much, since you are allowed to go, you can go boldly and make full use of our information advantage to impress those Skull Party elites." ”

"I'm not worried about anything, I'm thinking about what to do."

"Get a good night's sleep, and when you wake up, you'll know what to do."

Liu Wei smiled and shook his head, he hardly had to sleep now.
