Weakening Iran's power is detrimental to China's national interests and to establishing a just and impartial image of neutrality in the Middle East.

As long as Iraq does not attack Iran or target Iran, China and Iraq still have many common interests, and they can deal with many things together, and both sides can obtain a lot of benefits.

Now the zhōngyāng boss informed him that he had returned to Beijing to inquire about the two superpowers, the Soviet Union and the United States.

For some time now, because of the siege in Afghanistan, the media in the Soviet Union and the United States have been lively and engaged in a war of words.

The fact that the Soviet newspapers boasted that their army was strong and that they could retreat from the encirclement set up by the enemy supported by the United States, but on the contrary dealt a fatal blow to those American devils who helped the enemy, fully demonstrated that the Soviet army was the most powerful army in the world, and that any force that blocked the advance of the great Soviet Union would be powdered......

The American newspapers scolded the Soviet Union for its reckless use of force, and it was not worth mentioning anything other than its vigorous momentum; tens of thousands of regular troops in a dignified division were annihilated by a resistance organization of several hundred people, and high-ranking officers, including division commanders, were captured, and were surrounded by resistance organizations with only a few thousand people, short of food and ammunition; although the Soviet troops desperately broke through the encirclement, in the end only a few hundred people escaped, and the others were either annihilated or captured. The righteous people had to advise the belligerent Soviet authorities not to ignore the lives of their soldiers and drive them to the battlefield for their own benefit, not only to bring their lives but also to the people of other countries and to bring unrest to the world.

Now that the Soviet Union is unable to make ends meet, and its economy is on the verge of danger, for the sake of the lives of its own people, you should withdraw your troops from Afghanistan as soon as possible, otherwise, your army will collapse, and more and more soldiers will defect to Western countries......

In response to their respective masters, the countries of the Warsaw Pact all sang praises for the Soviet Union, publicized the achievements of the Soviet army in Afghanistan, and called on the people of Afghanistan to unite under the banner of the Soviets and eliminate all the bandit forces that disrupted their lives and caused blood to the people, and also advised those who were bandits in the mountains not to think that with the support of the United States, they could hold out for a long time, and the great Soviet army, which defeated fascist Germany in World War II, would wipe out all the bandit forces in a short time. Anyone who is seduced by the capitalist state will be severely punished.

The Warsaw Pact counterpart is NATO, which has also spared no effort to condemn the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, which has brought suffering, death and poverty to the Afghan people, and the world will try the criminals who started this war and will execute those who massacre civilians. They also called on the Afghan people to unite and fight against the aggressors who occupied Afghanistan until they were driven out of their homes......

Of course, the newspapers of the United States and other Western countries believed that the Soviet Union and other countries were the creators of the world catastrophe and held the Soviet leaders responsible for the deaths of thousands of Afghan civilians. Newspapers in the Soviet Union and other countries told the United States not to meddle in Afghanistan's internal affairs, claiming that the killing of all the American experts in the command post of the resistance organization this time was just a small accusation, and if the United States continued to intervene next time, the Soviet Union would teach the United States a greater lesson.

At the same time, the newspapers of both sides publicized the tremendous achievements of their camps in sports, economics, science and technology, and deliberately belittled the achievements of the other side and exaggerated the problems of the other camp.

Looking at the newspapers of the two camps of the West and the Soviet Union, there are few newspapers that have a clear-cut banner of criticizing China, and they are all cautious when talking about China, and they all avoid using overly drastic words; many of them have good things to say about China, and even the newspapers of the Soviet bloc, which have strict control over public opinion, have praised China for making some achievements in reform over the past few years and for playing some positive role in international affairs.

Although they were very stingy with praise, let alone what achievements China has made, and did not explain what achievements China has made in international affairs, this is already a tremendous progress, and they no longer make irresponsible remarks about China, let alone scold China as a traitor to socialism.

Corresponding to the public opinion in the newspapers, the United States and the Soviet Union have begun to have frequent contacts with China, and they are all trying to win China over to their side. Because of the crushing defeat in Afghanistan, the Soviet Union found that its military strength was indeed not as strong as they thought, and they also found that their country was a little incapable of carrying out the war in Afghanistan, although the highest authorities of the CPSU did not have too many people to support the withdrawal of troops, and the idea of taking the initiative to end the war had not yet formed the mainstream among the CPSU-zhōngyāng-members, but they were all aware of the current predicament, and they all knew that if they continued like this, Afghanistan might be able to be occupied, but it would collapse on their own.

They felt that they truly realized that the Soviet Union could not cope with the enemy of China and the United States, and that China had grown up and strengthened unconsciously and had become a force to be reckoned with in the world. If they can be brought back together, the strength of the Warsaw Pact led by the Soviet Union will be multiplied, and it will not be as difficult to deal with the Western countries led by the United States as it is now. Moreover, this time China took the initiative to contact the Soviet Union, providing intelligence support for the Soviet army's breakthrough and facilitating the Soviet special combat team's elimination of American experts and the destruction of the resistance headquarters.

Although the special combat team was completely wiped out in the end, and the army that broke out of the encirclement was only more than 1,000 officers and soldiers, it saved the reputation of the Soviet army and saved the face of the Soviet army. Until now, they did not know that their special combat team was actually wiped out by the Chinese, and until now they did not know the position of the dead Lisboa in Guo Chengcheng's mind.

The United States also exerted almost all its strength in this operation to encircle the Soviet troops, and almost sent troops directly to participate in the siege, but in the end it still fell short, and some Soviet troops still slipped through the net. Although the actual situation was that the more than 1,000 Soviet troops had fled in the desert and the resistance coalition forces had achieved their strategic goals, the Soviet troops had finally broken through a part of the encirclement, and the US goal had not been fully achieved. Although Western newspapers continue to say that the Soviet army has been completely annihilated, in the case of the breakthrough of the Soviet army, most people in the world still think that the Soviet army has not been completely annihilated, and Western newspapers have been hyping the strength of the Soviet army before, so they are more willing to believe the Soviet Union's statement.

While the American side was depressed, it was also concerned that the military experts they sent died at the hands of the Soviet special forces. You must know that those military experts are all in the rear of the battlefield, protected by armed personnel at all levels, and defended by the United States' own soldiers in the inner layer, who knows that they were still completely annihilated by the Soviet special combat teams, I don't know where these Soviet special combat teams came from, I don't know why the combat effectiveness of more than a dozen of them is so strong, and they can calmly retreat after destroying the entire command post, if it were not for the resistance group supported by China just there, they might have fled by helicopter, in that case, the United States would have lost face.

The United States has done its best to slander and spread rumors in public opinion, constantly saying how bad the Soviet Union was, but in fact, due to the strict blockade of the Soviet Union and the fact that the various operating figures of the Soviet state-owned enterprises are secret, it is difficult for people outside to perceive the subtle changes in these state-owned enterprises.

You must know that when the Soviet Union was first founded, it was poor and white, and it was also subject to military intervention by countless hostile countries, but the Soviet Union quickly transformed a backward agricultural country into a developed industrial country by relying on state-owned enterprises, and the scale of its economy also jumped from an unknown status to an industrial power, surpassing many old capitalist countries such as Italy and France.

After the Second World War, the main industrial areas of the Soviet Union were also bombed into ruins by the German ** team, there were hungry poor people everywhere, and there were ruins in need of repair everywhere, and the Soviet Union became the world's second largest economy country by relying on state-owned enterprises, and its science and technology were advancing by leaps and bounds, and Britain and France and other countries could not reach it.

Although the state-owned system of the Soviet Union has encountered difficulties, and although the state enterprises are not doing well, no matter how bad they are, they cannot be so bad that they were just after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and no matter how bad they are, they are not as bad as when World War II ended, and no one can underestimate the strength of these state-owned enterprises, and no one dares to say that these state-owned enterprises, which are currently a bit lifeless, will not suddenly rise.

Therefore, the Americans were confused and afraid of the Soviet Union, and they could openly scold the Soviets, or they could encourage a third party to provoke the Soviet Union, but let them go directly into battle.

This siege of Afghanistan made the Americans even more incomprehensible to the strength of the Soviet army, and even more afraid to collide with the Soviet army face to face. The breakthrough of the Soviet army and the decapitation operation of the "Soviet special combat team" made the Americans more eager for the help of the Chinese than before, and hoped that China could take the lead for them and serve as cannon fodder for them.

In fact, not to mention that the United States is confused about the current situation of the Soviet Union and cannot predict the future of the Soviet Union at all, even the Chinese leaders, who are close to the Soviet system, cannot understand and understand the Soviet Union in every way. If there is no "vision" and persistence of Guo Zhuocheng in this life, and if China's national strength does not suddenly jump in this life, the zhōngyāng bigwigs will not be convinced that the Soviet Union will have a serious crisis, and they will not believe that what Guo Zhuocheng said may collapse.

When the Soviet Union collapsed in the previous life, all the leading cadres in China were dumbfounded, more incredible than hearing that aliens were attacking the earth, and they were secretly asking themselves in their hearts: "Is this true?" How could such a powerful USSR collapse? How could it collapse overnight? What really happened inside the USSR? ”
