Seeing that the chief lowered his head and continued to work, Qi ** did not leave, but reported to Geng Biao: "Lin Qiangsheng also told me something else, I think it is necessary to mention it to you!" ”

"What did he say to you?" Geng Biao raised his head and asked Qi **.

"He was talking about the Soviet Union, saying that the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan would not succeed and would cause huge economic difficulties in the country. He also hinted at me that China should seize the opportunity to import a batch of advanced military equipment from Europe and the United States. I think he meant that the Soviet Union could be defeated because of the war, saying that we have a limited amount of time! He also said that the honeymoon period between China and the West is only ten years! Qi ** said to the chief, with a hint of strangeness on his face.

Geng Biao frowned and said, "You repeat Lin Qiangsheng's original words!" ”

Qi Jinping nodded, and relayed Lin Qiangsheng's words to Chief Geng as they were.

The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was unexpected by all countries, and the Soviet Union invested huge military strength at the beginning of the campaign, and with the cooperation of the troops parachuted into Kabul in advance, the Soviet army penetrated the entire territory of Afghanistan with a wide frontal, large depth, and high-speed campaign maneuver, realizing the military occupation of this small Central Asian country, and the first stage of the invasion operation was successful. But Afghanistan is a small power that can only be killed, and the occupation of cities and key roads has made the Soviet army controlled everywhere, and the country has a long history of tribal system, and these tribes were robbers of caravans in ancient times, and herdsmen in the mountains of Afghanistan. In modern times, they have a more powerful weapon, the Kalashnikov automatic rifle!

The continuous attacks of the partisans caused the Soviet army to suffer continuous losses, and the partisans attacked the small units of the Soviet army, and the Soviet army's truck transportation lines were in jeopardy. The Soviet Union is investing more and more in the war in Afghanistan, and now there is a great tendency for the Soviet army to fight a protracted war!

Geng Biao felt that it was necessary to talk to 286 about what Lin Qiangsheng said, and the impact of the increased investment of the Soviet army on the Soviet Union. If the USSR was weakened influence on China.

In the past, the country was considered from a military point of view, such as what troops the Soviet Union could mobilize, and whether it could draw some of the millions of Soviet troops across the Chinese border to reduce pressure on northern China, but the impact of the war in Afghanistan on the Soviet Union was never considered from an economic point of view.

The sudden collapse of the Soviet Union, the hearts of many Chinese at that time must have collapsed!

"It is necessary to bring Lin Qiangsheng here, and let's discuss the economic problems of the Soviet Union with him face to face. Isn't he well aware of the state of the economy in the United States? Also made a lot of money in the United States! He should be asked to talk about the impact of this war in Afghanistan on the USSR from an economic point of view, and whether it can affect our country! After listening to Geng Biao's words, 286 said with a smile.

Lin Qiangsheng was brought to the chief again, this time there were many people, and the two leaders, 286, Chen, and Ye, were also waiting for him in the office.

Seeing Lin Qiangsheng, Ye Lao, who was sitting on the sofa on his left hand, first smiled and said: "This is that generous Comrade Xiaolin, I have heard of you, you are very arrogant!" It is necessary to invest 200 million US dollars to cover all the taxi companies in the country! His words made the crowd chuckle.

Lin Qiangsheng smiled awkwardly. He said to several chiefs: "Yes, I still think so!" If the country allows, I really want to have taxi companies all over China! I don't know which chief stopped me, he made me anxious! ”

There was a hearty laugh in the office immediately, and several chiefs laughed happily, they didn't expect that they had such a high status and such an old age, and now there was a little guy who teased them so much.

"The person you're talking about is me, I'm afraid you're developing too fast. If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and you don't want to save you money! Chen Lao pointed to his nose. His words made the leaders present laugh even more.

Lin Qiangsheng hurriedly said: "No, no, your blocking is right!" If I hadn't stopped me, I might have lost money! If I had driven the taxi company in one fell swoop last year, there would not have been so many car drivers in the short term, not to mention that there would not be so many customers who would have taken taxis, and the cars I bought would have been idle, then I would have really lost money. I really appreciate the timeliness of your blocking! ”

Chen Lao smiled, waved his hand and said: "You're welcome, you don't have to thank me, every foreign businessman who comes to invest in China is in the spirit of responsibility, and we will not let you people who develop the country lose in vain!" ”

"Comrade Kobayashi. Is it true that you say that the Soviet economy will be in trouble because of Afghanistan? Where did you get your speculation? Ye Lao asked Lin Qiangsheng.

Looking at the topic, Lin Qiangsheng said seriously: "As far as I know, the Soviet army is currently difficult to cope with the harassment of Afghan guerrillas, and is constantly increasing investment in the war. In order to prevent the Soviet Union from expanding its influence in South Asia and Southeast Asia, Western countries are secretly supporting the Afghan guerrillas, and the United States has even sent officers and agents to train the Afghan armed forces on a large scale, providing not only weapons but also intelligence fighters. Moreover, because of this invasion, the Soviet Union was constantly condemned by all countries in the world, and was under tremendous diplomatic pressure and isolated. As a result of the invasion of Afghanistan, the Soviet Union and Pakistan were also at odds with each other. In 1979, the CIA carried out Operation Whirlwind, through the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence Agency, as an intermediary to provide weapons, ammunition and funds to the Mujahideen, including the famous FIM-92 Stinger missile. Since 1979, the Pakistani Tri-Services Intelligence Bureau has trained 100,000 Mujahideen guerrillas. We can see that Western countries, Pakistan, and Middle Eastern countries have received extensive international support, especially the Middle Eastern countries, as long as they make a small effort and call for a little money, a large number of volunteers will go to Afghanistan to fight and make the Soviet Union continue to bleed. These countries have come together to squeeze the Soviet Union out of that land in Afghanistan, and as long as the Soviet leadership does not change its expansionist policy, Afghanistan will become a nightmare for the Soviets! And the fall of the Soviet Union or its significant weakening was actually extremely unfavorable to the international environment of our country! Only with the huge threat of the Soviet Union will the Western countries have good relations with our country, and without the Soviet Union, the Western countries will immediately continue to blockade us! ”

"Shhh Several leaders looked at each other, regardless of whether what Lin Qiangsheng said earlier was right or not, but he was correct when he said that China could only develop relations with Western countries such as Europe and the United States by relying on the Soviet Union. Without the threat of the Soviet Union, the West would not have sold advanced weapons to China, and this is a very real problem.

"So what consequences will this bloodshed have for the USSR? Listening to what you mean, it seems that the Soviet Union can't hold on, at least they can withdraw their troops! Chen Lao asked Lin Qiangsheng.

Will the USSR fight a protracted war with Afghanistan, this war will be fought for several years, and if the trauma inflicted on the USSR is too great, what will be the adverse effect on China. For China, which is now also supporting Afghanistan in large quantities, it is necessary to clarify this issue now that it is recognized!

Lin Qiangsheng felt troublesome when he heard Chen Lao's question, he now regretted talking to Qi Jinping about that, Lin Qiangsheng said thoughtfully: "If it is assumed that the Soviet Union will not easily give up expansionism, it will drag on in Afghanistan for a long time, as far as the current investment situation of the Soviet Union is concerned, maintaining 100,000 troops in Afghanistan, plus weapons and equipment resources and other materials, will lose more than 2 billion US dollars every year, not including the blow to the Soviet economy caused by the transfer of productive forces to military projects!" ”

"If the Soviets stick to their expansionism and don't withdraw easily! If the war lasted for ten years, it would have caused a lot of damage to the USSR domestically! It was a catastrophe for the republics, which were already very unwilling to be controlled by Moscow! It is difficult to say whether they will still be under the control of the weakened Soviet Central Committee! ”

The atmosphere in the office suddenly fell into a dull place, 286 sat on the sofa at the head, he gently patted the armrest and said to Lin Qiangsheng with a smile: "Comrade Xiaolin, thank you, let us know some different situations!" ”

"Comrade Kobayashi, are these things you tell us your own analysis or some foreign military arguments?" Geng Biao asked Lin Qiangsheng.

Lin Qiangsheng said: "I analyzed it myself!" The economic situation of the USSR was slightly better and stronger than ours, but the overall situation was only better. There is also the problem of aging equipment and backward management system of enterprises, and it is urgent to reform the national economy, but the Soviet Union is now mired in a war quagmire with no victory in sight, which gives the West the possibility of defeating the Soviet Union! ”

Geng Biao nodded, and said to Lin Qiangsheng with a smile: "Thank you, Comrade Xiaolin, I hope you can continue to contribute to the development of the country in the future!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng saw that the leaders had the intention of sending off guests, so he stood up with a smile and said: "I know, I will do my best for the development of the country, and I will go back, leaders." ”

Lin Qiangsheng was sent out, and Chen Lao said: "We have ignored the impact of this war on the economic situation of the Soviet Union before!" Never thinking about the possibility of the USSR falling apart, this young man considered the Soviet Union's ability to bear it from an economic point of view. I think this kind of thinking has broadened our horizons, and we should analyze what would happen to the Soviet Union if it collapsed, and what China should do about it! ”

"Is the supply of weapons to tens of thousands of mujahideen going to stop first?" Geng Biao looked at everyone and 286.

In order to cooperate with the traditional way of thinking of the Pakistani side and Afghanistan to curb Soviet expansionism, China has been providing large quantities of military equipment to the so-called "mujahideen" free of charge. Today, I listened to Lin Qiangsheng's words, if the Soviet Union continues like this, there is a threat of being weakened, and if this situation occurs, it will have a very adverse impact on China's international environment!

"Let's investigate first to see if the Soviet Union will really lose a lot, and our attitude towards Pakistan will not change all at once. This will make friendly countries such as Pakistan and the Middle East have some bad ideas! 286 said slowly.

Although Lin Qiangsheng did not say it explicitly, everyone still heard some of his views on the collapse of the Soviet Union. The leaders never thought about whether the Soviet Union would collapse, and how could the Soviet Union collapse with such a large territory and such a powerful military force. But in the event that the Soviet Union is completely weakened after this war, what kind of international political environment China will have at that time will have to be carefully considered by the leaders.
