The Soviet Union, anxious to find help from China because of the impasse in Afghanistan, at least could not let the Chinese side with the United States against the Soviet Union, and they actively contacted China to try to improve relations between the two countries.

The United States, because it did not know the true situation of the Soviet Union, thought that the Soviet Union's military strength was still beyond their imagination, and in addition, during the siege of Afghanistan, the United States deliberately kept it secret from China and did not let China share the joy of annihilating the Soviet army, and felt a little guilty about China, and in order to make up for the small cracks that might occur between China and the United States, and in order to make China more willing to be cannon fodder, the Americans, who were not confident in their hearts, also went to China impatiently to try to raise the relations between the two countries to a higher level.

Thus, a strange and understandable scene appeared, the envoys of the Soviet Union and the United States began to go to China more or less covertly, and one condition after another in favor of China was put forward by them, and China received one hydrangea after another.

China in this life is not the China of the previous life, it is not a country that pretends to be poorer than beggars, China's science and technology, economy, and international status in this life are much better than in previous lives, and if the hydrangea thrown by the Soviet Union and the United States is not dazzling and beautiful, China is still unwilling to take it, and they must come up with some good things at the bottom of the box to be able to touch the hearts of the Chinese.

What precision CNC machine tool technology, what Batumi lifted the ban on China's high-tech exports, what negotiations on Hong Kong's future were carried out according to the working papers provided by China, what fighter jet material technology, what engine technology, what high-speed railway technology, what Sino-US patents are jointly valid, what accepted China's labor exports, what allowed China to join the WTO as a contracting party, what China has the right to cut timber in Siberia, what sold iron ore mining rights in the Far East at a low price, what allowed China to host the Olympic Games, What prohibits the training and dispatch of ** personnel, and what recognizes China's leadership in Africa and the Middle East......

In this way, the central leadership was full of joy, and really did not expect that a siege battle in Afghanistan could bring so many benefits to China. They were under the influence of Guo Zhuocheng. Naturally, it will not be pretendedly polite. At the same time, they also proposed to the Soviet Union and the United States the space technology and intercontinental missile technology that were difficult for them......

This time, the central authorities invited Guo Zhuocheng to Beijing not so much to discuss how to extract more benefits from the Soviet Union and the United States and how to deal with future changes in the international situation, but rather to invite him to participate in the distribution of spoils and to enjoy the joy of reaping tremendous results.

After all, in this surprising situation, Guo Zhuocheng has put in the most effort, he has the greatest credit, and he is qualified and has the right to share this joy. Everyone knows the benefits of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. I also know that it is better to take advantage of both sides, but it is really very difficult to really achieve this ideal goal, because no one is a fool, whether it is an American or a Soviet, they do not want to be a fool who is watched by others and taken advantage of by others, they also want to take profits from others.

In addition to sharing the joy and reaping the benefits as much as possible, Guo Zhuocheng returned to Beijing this time to discuss with the central bigwigs the issue of China's position and how China should position itself between the United States and the Soviet Union.

Now China pays lip service to China that it is non-aligned. It will not take sides and insist on independence. But in fact, since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, China has been biased towards the side of the United States and other Western countries, or more on the side of Western countries, and has joined Western countries in opposing the Soviet Union. It was precisely because of this change in China, coupled with China's previous de facto act of exporting revolution to neighboring countries, that the Soviet Union was dwarfed; on the one hand, they had to maintain the normal operation of the huge organization of the Warsaw Pact, on the other hand, they had to maintain the huge expenses of their own country, they had to engage in a face-fighting struggle with the United States, and they had to invest heavily in the development of space technology, and on the other hand, they had to deal with China, making it even more difficult for the Soviet Union, which was already unable to deal with the Western countries led by the United States.

It can be said that China made a huge contribution to the disintegration of the Soviet Union in the previous life, and without China's turn, without China's turn to the West, the burden of the Soviet Union would not have been so heavy, and their collapse might not have happened or would have been delayed.

At present, the central leadership has some differences on how to position China and how to face the Soviet Union and the United States.

Some people think that now China and Western countries have such good relations, since the improvement of relations with Western countries, China has gained a lot of benefits from cooperation, although it is a win-win situation between each other, Western countries have also gained great benefits from China's cooperation, but because China is backward, relatively speaking, these benefits are of greater and more valuable help to China, we Chinese are grateful to repay their kindness, we cannot abandon them because we have gained more benefits now, we cannot forget their interests, we should continue to maintain good relations with the West, Continued hostility with the USSR.

Compared with the Western countries, the Soviet Union is the biggest enemy, the Western countries do not border our country, they want to invade our country, they can only come from the sea, landing on China's territory will be an insurmountable obstacle for them, the vast ocean stretches the logistics supply lines of the Western countries, which is conducive to China in the coastal areas to completely annihilate the invading enemy forces, even if the coastal areas are in ruins, they cannot shake the foundation of the country, nor can they shake the confidence of the whole nation in resisting the enemy.

The mechanized troops of the Soviet Union can completely break through to China's territory for more than 100 kilometers overnight, and can hit the capital overnight, directly threatening China's head organs, threatening the command center of the whole army, touching China's most core industrial base, endangering China's most fundamental interests, and easily shaking the confidence of the whole people to resist the enemy.

Besides, the Soviet Union, which inherited the legacy of the Tsarist Empire, is China's old enemy, they have invaded a large part of China's territory and owed us countless debts, we must work with Western countries to kill the Soviet Union, slaughter this evil wolf with a bayonet close to our chest, let it be torn apart, and take back our own land, they can no longer threaten us, so that we can sleep and develop with peace of mind.

The central leadership, which held this viewpoint, insisted on treating the Soviet Union as a natural enemy, first eliminating it and then quickly, and favoring the West as a temporary expedient measure, and it would not be too late to confront the Western countries when the Soviet Union fell. Western countries are the tools we use to defeat the Soviet Union, we can use them, but we cannot turn to them.

Another part of the central leadership believes that Western countries are the real selfless and immortal, and compared with the Soviet Union, Western countries can take unlimited from China. The Soviet Union did not take action against China when it was the most difficult and difficult time for China in the past, but now China has already survived the most dangerous period, its national strength is increasing day by day, and the gap between China and the Soviet Union is getting smaller and smaller.

We weren't afraid of them before, will we be afraid of them in the future?

Western countries are capitalist countries, and if we have good relations with them and stand with them, their way of doing so will affect us and will degenerate the nature of our socialist state; now there are signs of turning back in China, and there has already been a trend of thinking toward capitalism; if we continue to respect Europe and the United States, then our foundation will be shaken, and we must not let it go on in this way.

Moreover, now that the Soviet Union is showing signs of decay, giving China more opportunities, perhaps we will be able to take over the banner of the Soviet Union in the future and lead other socialist countries forward to become a superpower to replace the Soviet Union.

If it is an attack, the danger to China from Western countries is greater and more difficult to resist. The idea of annihilating the armies of Western countries by sea in the coastal areas is wishful thinking. This is because we do not yet understand what naval warfare is, and we do not yet understand what air warfare is. In fact, naval and air battles are far beyond our imagination, and neither naval nor air battles are the Second World War period, and their combat range and intensity are far greater than before, and their combat distances are often calculated in terms of 500 kilometers, 1,000 kilometers, or even thousands of kilometers.

The navy is now a short board of our country, and once European and American countries attack us from the sea, our navy's resistance to the US aircraft carrier battle group can be ignored, and our warships at present are simply not enough to strike a wave of blows. When our navy is annihilated, we will only be beaten, and it will become a unilateral loss. When someone casually launches a missile or drops a bomb, it is our facilities that are lost and our lives that are harmed.

As long as they maintain an aircraft carrier battle group on the surface for a long time, our hearts will always hang, and we will always worry about when they will break in. Their large fleet is large enough to sustain their logistical supplies, and it is stronger and safer than land transportation. Because without the navy, we can only look at the ocean and sigh.

With our economic transformation, the importance of coastal cities will become more and more prominent, the proportion of coastal economy will be greatly increased, now the economic scale of Shanghai City has exceeded the three northeastern provinces, the future output value will be more and more large, if you add Wuyang City, plus Shenzhen-Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, plus Qionghai Island, its economic scale greatly exceeds the three northeastern provinces, northwest and North China. It can be said that the coastal cities have become the core of China's economy, the most densely populated areas in China, and the most talent-intensive areas, and there is no room for any loss.

Some people think that our army can completely annihilate the western troops invading the coast, then the army of these invaders can only be the army, since you believe in our army so much, then why don't you believe that they can withstand the invasion of the Soviet army in the north?

Compared with the Soviet Army, there is no generational difference between our land forces, the gap between our navy and the Western navy is much smaller, and we are resisting at home, and we have built countless defense projects, and it is much easier to block the Soviet invasion from the north than it is to block the attack of Western countries from the coast.
