"With me on the Saudi side, there will be no problem. Although it is difficult to see Crown Prince Mohammed now, I have always been in contact with Prince Waleed. It's you who need to be worried. Musharraf paused slightly. The test report released by the US military is obviously with ulterior motives, and even if there are no other signs for the time being, we must not be careless and must prepare in advance. ”

"Before I came, I had Nicholas go to Belgium."

Musharraf was slightly stunned, then nodded, indicating that he understood what Wang Dong meant.

"There's a question that I haven't been able to figure out."

"What?"

Wang Dong let out a long breath before he said, "Do you sit and wait, or take the initiative?" ”

"You mean......" Musharraf's brow jumped a few times, and his expression became extremely solemn.

"There is no doubt that paper can't hold fire. Although we didn't think about winning the OIC project, and it was impossible, others may not see it that way. ”

"Therefore, H&K will definitely be secretly investigating us."

Wang Dong nodded and said: "Not only H&F, but also the German government, in the end, will even involve the US authorities." ”

"By that time, we will be facing the entire Western world."

"Almost."

Musharraf was stunned for a moment, apparently unresponsive.

"The position of the British authorities is the most important in this. Although the United Kingdom has left the European Union, and has been at odds with France and Germany and other EU countries, and has been supporting BAE Systems, as a member of NATO, the United Kingdom has paid more attention to its relationship with the United States after Brexit. On the other hand, there is no reason for the British authorities to have a problem with the United States, let alone stand up for D&F. ”

"Of course."

Wang Dong smiled bitterly and sighed, but did not continue.

Musharraf suddenly understood and said: "You mean that if we do nothing, the British authorities will end up pushing the boat?" ”

Wang Dong nodded, indicating that this was what he meant.

"The problem is, like you said, there is no reason for the British authorities to stand up for us, let alone that this matter is in the core interests of the United States."

"On key issues, Britain is looking ahead with the United States, but Britain is Britain."

"This ......"

"Everything the British authorities do, like other countries, is doing to protect their own interests. For example, after the end of World War II, the 'Iron Curtain speech' kicked off the Cold War, and later joined the European Community, but did not join the eurozone, and finally parted ways with the European Union, all of them were aimed at safeguarding the core interests of their own countries. It's just that in many cases, the means employed by the British authorities are not clever. ”

Musharraf was slightly stunned and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

is not only "not smart", but can even be said to be short-sighted.

The most typical thing is not to leave the EU, but to start a cold war.

After the end of World War II, Churchill went to the United States to deliver the "Iron Curtain Speech" to kick off the Cold War, not to unite with the United States against the Soviet Union, but to maintain Britain's position, that is, to ensure that in the post-Cold War world, Britain will still be a major power with global influence.

The result?

In the early days of the Cold War, two decades after the collapse of the Bretton Woods system, the United States was not dealing with the Soviet Union, but replacing the former global hegemon.

By the time the dust settled, the United States had become a global hegemon, and Britain had been reduced to a second-rate country.

Obviously, the British launched the Cold War through the "Iron Curtain Speech", but lost the laurels of the "empire on which the sun never sets" and lost almost all their overseas interests.

From an after-view perspective, if Britain uses its status as a "suzerain" to establish an exclusive economic and trade zone after the end of World War II, relying on the identity of the victorious country, it is very likely to establish an economic system with the pound as the core, thus becoming the third pole.

Although this "third pole" is certainly not as strong as the rising United States, nor may it be able to surpass the thriving Soviet Union, it has sufficient strength to become a buffer zone between the United States and the Soviet Union, forming a three-legged situation, so as to protect vital overseas interests.

From this point of view, Britain was also the loser of the Cold War, and the first to lose.

In the case of Brexit, there is a similar situation.

Because of its short-sightedness, Britain chose to leave the European family and excluded itself from the European market, which has hundreds of millions of people.

In the short term, the UK does have a lot to gain.

It's just that in the long run, sooner or later Britain will be reduced to a third-rate country.

At that time, what will Britain do to defend its national interests?

Just by virtue of being a permanent member of the Security Council?

You must know that with Britain's strength, it is extremely reluctant to even maintain a standing strategic strike force, and only then has there been talk of "abandoning nuclear weapons."

From this point of view, the most important thing for the UK after Brexit is its own strength.

In order to strengthen their own strength, the British authorities are not sure to do something that is expected.

In fact, such signs have appeared for a long time.

Immediately after the referendum to leave the European Union, Britain stepped up its cooperation with China, some of which involved sensitive issues related to security.

For example, the United Kingdom took the lead in introducing Huaxia's nuclear power plant technology.

While Britain remains largely the US leader, there is no guarantee that Britain will not break the taboo at some point.

It's just that no one knows what day it is.

"If you take the initiative, what should you do?"

"Drag."

Musharraf was stunned again, and looked at Wang Dong incomprehensibly.

"The key to keeping the British authorities silent, or to be open to us, is to let the British authorities know that we are not a threat to the UK's core interests, but that we will be of great help, that is, our presence will help protect the UK's core interests, such as helping arms companies like BAE Systems to obtain orders from Middle Eastern countries. It's just that, at most, it is to silence the British authorities. ”

"This doesn't solve the problem."

Wang Dong smiled faintly and said: "I didn't want to develop and grow with the support of the British authorities, because this is absolutely impossible. ”

Musharraf frowned, then nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Wang Dong meant.

"All we need is time, which is to continue to exist until that day comes."

"That day?"

"Don't tell me that you think the United States can always dominate the world."

Musharraf was startled, his eyes widened, and he looked at Wang Dong in disbelief.

"Believe me, that day will definitely come, and it won't be long before that." Wang Dong let out a long sigh and said, "It's only a few months, and when everything is arranged, we should say goodbye to Britain." During this time, you should be careful not to have any accidents. ”

"Don't worry, I'm measured."

"Okay, so be it."

Musharraf nodded and watched Wang Dong enter the business plane.

Will that day come soon?
