Chapter 1033: National Fortune Gambling

General Xu continued: "Besides, they are consuming troops and munitions in Afghanistan, a place where birds are so poor that they don't, it is better to fight rich European countries, and they can make a name for themselves with rich captures. As for the European and American countries clamoring for nuclear weapons to retaliate or something, it is just shouting, how many nuclear weapons do they have in the Soviet Union? Do they dare to move in Europe? You say that the USSR was taking risks there, and I don't agree with that. ”

Guo said: "The inability to determine what the Soviet Union will do next is one of the reasons why European and American countries are worried. ”

General Xu said: "In this case, we should cooperate with European and American countries to force the Soviet Union to take action, and we can send troops to recover our land." It's a big deal, everyone is scattered, and the earth is all thumpy. Obviously, the so-called "cooperation" in his words is actually to use European and American countries to add some oil between the Soviet Union and the United States and let them conflict.

Born in a military background, what he longed for most was to go to the battlefield, and he thought that as long as European and American countries fought hard, then China's hope would come.

The supreme chief waved his hand and said: "The world can't be so crazy, and it's unrealistic for you to expect the politicians of other countries to go crazy. Rest assured, the Earth will continue to move non-stop. Our foothold now is how to fight for the best interests while the planet is functioning normally. ”

Guo had to admire the wisdom of the supreme chief: from the United States to the Soviet Union, from Britain to China, the leaders of all countries were brought to the throne after countless competitions. It's just that European and American countries are elected by universal suffrage, while China and the Soviet Union are selected on a small scale, but no matter which way the leaders go up, as long as they can sit on the throne, they are definitely not fools and madmen, they are all elites, and the probability that these people will go crazy may not even be one in a million. Therefore, when considering international issues, we must consider the premise of the normal operation of the earth, and if the leaders of one country will go crazy, or expect the leaders of several countries to go crazy, then only we will fail. As for the fact that the earth is really ruined one day, there is no need to think about it.

Since the earth is functioning normally, it means that it is impossible for the Soviet Union and the United States to have a nuclear war, and they will all try to control the scale of the war so that it will not get out of control. Under this premise, countries can do what they can to grab what they need.

Yu Gangqiu said to Guo Zhuocheng: "Your analysis is similar to what we think. So what do you think the United States will propose this time around? That is, what will they ask us to do, and what conditions should we ask them to meet? Can we really think about our foreign policy on the premise that the Soviet Union will collapse, and on this premise about cooperation with the United States? ”

The last sentence is very cleverly asked: if the Soviet Union is really going to collapse, and China knows in advance but Europe and the United States do not know about it, then China can take advantage of this to maneuver freely between countries, can take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, can pretend to bear the danger of Soviet retaliation and gain the gratitude of European and American countries, of course, this gratitude is premised on national interests, or provide China with massive funds and high technology; or to improve China's political status, voice and influence in the United Nations; Or to provide market ...... to China, and so on.

Today's China doesn't care about a few false praises, and under the influence of Guo Shucheng, everyone from the top minister to other officials knows that the real benefit is to benefit from other countries.

However, if the Soviet Union does not collapse in the future, China will really have to take a huge risk, and then the Soviet Union will frantically suppress China, while European and American countries will stand aside and sit on a small bench and eat melon seeds and watch jokes.

After Yu Gangqiu finished asking this sentence, he looked at Guo Zhuocheng with blazing eyes.

Li Guanding's eyes shot a sharp light, but he looked at Guo Zhuocheng quietly.

General Xu also looked at Guo Zhuocheng intently, and his face showed a trace of worry: The decline or collapse of the Soviet Union did not cause him much worry in his opinion, even if there was not much danger in disarming one million and stopping the construction of fortifications against the Soviet Union, as long as China was vigilant at all times, and besides, China's weapons have been updated, new tank units have been established, and new air divisions have been added, and its combat effectiveness will not decrease but increase compared with before, because the army lies in the refinement and not in the majority.

However, when China's foreign policy and defense policy are decided on the basis of whether or not the Soviet Union will collapse, the situation becomes much more severe, and it simply becomes a big gamble on national fortune: If the Soviet Union really collapses as Guo Shucheng asserts, China will naturally make a lot of money, and pretending to give it a free hand with the Soviet Union can not only reap huge benefits from European and American countries, but also from the Soviet Union. However, if the Soviet Union does not collapse, the losses will be enormous, and it is likely to fall into the flames of war that will ruin the country.

However, it didn't take long for General Xu's worries to be cracked by a sentence from the supreme chief: "Comrade Gangqiu, don't discuss this matter anymore, a country is the same as people, it must do something and not do something." In the case of the coexistence of risk and return, it is okay to compare the size of risk and return. Lao Xu, you won't be afraid of war, will you? ”

General Xu grinned and said, "Haha, with this baby here, my favorite is war." ”

The supreme chief said, "In that case, what are you worried about?" ”

General Xu said, "No, I ...... I'm not worried. I'm just worried about bruising this little doll's positive surname. In the face of the supreme leader, General Xu did not dare to be too presumptuous, and the "Lao Tzu" on his lips had long since disappeared.

Yu Gangqiu also smiled embarrassedly, no longer dwelling on the topic of whether it collapsed, but asked Guo Shucheng: "Xiao Guo, what do you think the other party will ask?" ”

Guo Zhuocheng thought for a while and said: "I estimate that the United States will start from two aspects, the first is to demand that China reduce or even stop the export of sophisticated weapons, especially anti-ship missiles and cruise missiles, which are two weapons of mass destruction that they cannot deal with for the time being. Although these two weapons of mass destruction are not enough to shake the foundation of the US military, and their strength is not just something that can be shaken by a few new weapons, these weapons can greatly damage their morale, and the morale of the European army and the Israeli army.

This demoralization depression cannot be quantified, but it can be a real discouragement for the military and the people, and a loss of national pride. We know that the United States has not won a few battles since World War II, and their people have long been dissatisfied with the political axe and the army, and if a world war breaks out, it is very likely that they will be majestic again, but now there can be no world war, and they will not have the opportunity to raise their eyebrows. If we lose all our Chinese weapons in a small-scale war, they will really be very aggrieved, and they can't concentrate hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Argentina in order to improve morale, right?

Therefore, I think the United States will build on the previous establishment and reminder to have a very formal mutual check with China. Reducing or stopping the export of sophisticated weapons is actually good for our country, and we cannot afford to have sophisticated weapons in countries such as Vietnam and India. However, in response to this initiative of European and American countries, we propose to expand the scope of the embargo on sophisticated weapons, and to prohibit other countries from developing ballistic missiles, intercontinental missiles, nuclear submarines, and so on, and of course, to prohibit other countries from developing nuclear weapons. With the exception of the five permanent members, whoever develops nuclear weapons will be attacked and sanctioned by the whole world. ”

General Xu asked: "It's a bit immoral to prohibit others from developing nuclear weapons when we have nuclear weapons ourselves, right?" In particular, we should support those countries that have bad relations with the United States and the Soviet Union in developing nuclear weapons, only in this way can we deter them and make them dare not invade other countries, and we will have some more natural allies. We, China, are not even afraid of the Soviet Union and the United States, and are we afraid that other small countries will have nuclear weapons? Besides, our proposal to prohibit other countries from developing high-end weapons is inconsistent with China's long-standing propaganda that China will never seek hegemony or interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. ”

Guo Zhuocheng couldn't imagine that the dignified General Xu still had such a pure side, but the truth that everyone understood in his previous life was overbearing to him, and he was still thinking about supporting the poor brothers in the third world. He said in his heart: "What does not seek hegemony, what does not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, is that good for a big country?" The name of the permanent member of the United Nations is originally given to it hegemony, and it is impossible to be fair that just five of you have the right of veto when hundreds of countries are together. Allowing small countries to possess nuclear weapons would make the world more unstable. ”

Thinking of this, Guo Zhuocheng had to say patiently: "Nuclear weapons are a double-edged sword, although it can be used by small countries against the Soviet Union and the United States, but it can also be used against our China." There are no permanent friends between countries, just like we and Vietnam, we used to be good enough to wear a pair of pants, but now?

Moreover, the United States and the Soviet Union were much better than our country in terms of political environment and geography. Not only did the Soviet Union have a large number of satellites to protect them, but it also had a huge and vast territory, and the north was an uninhabited Arctic, and they were much more tolerant of nuclear bombardment than ours, and they were much less likely to receive nuclear bombing than ours.

Not to mention the United States, they have more allies and better geography. Canada is inseparable from them in the north, Mexico in the south, the Atlantic Ocean in the east, and the Pacific Ocean in the west. ”
