Chapter 443: The Core Nature of American War
Peace negotiations, negotiations between warring parties in order to end a war.
When I walk past you, I want to take away your smiling face,
There is not a little cloud in the heart, and the sun becomes more vivid,
I hope that one day, there will be no more tears and hatred,
No more bloodshed and separation, a beautiful homeland in common.
The sun is constantly spinning, and it has never changed since ancient times.
The boundless feelings of the universe embrace our wishes,
I hope that one day, the sea will dye the desert blue,
Let the Gospel of Peace be preached and face our ancestors with a smile......
Under the song of peace, four special planes painted with the United States, Italy, France, and Japan landed in turn on the international airport in Bagua City, which had not yet been officially opened.
This peace negotiation is not open to the public, and before the results are officially announced, curious people in the world can only infer it from the few words that the reporter has learned.
As most people expected, both sides expressed their willingness to stop the war very positively, which is the basic guarantee that both sides can sit together today. And in the ensuing negotiations, there was an impasse at the beginning.
In this negotiation, Li Lan sent Kahin as the representative of Somalia, and he and the joint representatives of the other four countries will hold talks, and as long as the two sides have no objection to all the terms of the talks, they can sign and take effect under the supervision of the United Nations.
However, the first element of the negotiations is ambiguity about the territorial integrity of Somalia. It almost brought the negotiations to a collapse.
"The sanctity of the national territory is inviolable, in order to ensure that the negotiations can proceed in their entirety. Coalition forces must immediately withdraw from all Somali territory and return the land illegally occupied by coalition forces. "Kahin, who was instructed by Li Lan. Naturally, the coalition forces must immediately withdraw from all Somali sovereign territory, otherwise everything will not be discussed.
The coalition forces resolutely rejected this condition, and the coalition representatives elected by the four countries immediately responded: "We only recognize the land of the former Freedom Alliance, and everything else belongs to the regular Somali government, not the territory unilaterally occupied by the Freedom Alliance." ”
At the beginning of the negotiations, a single sentence from the coalition forces denied the legitimacy of the current Somali regime. Because so far, none of the four countries has recognized the existence of the Li Lan government. For the four countries, there is no so-called legitimacy.
The first day of negotiations reached an impasse because of the first words of both sides, and the day passed like this under the continued stalemate.
When Li Lan received the results of the talks, he did not give any instructions, and the negotiations were originally a meticulous task, especially in today's international environment. If you want to get a result in a single negotiation, there will not be so many disputes in the world. On the first day, the contact conversation was just to get to know each other's prices, and then go back and discuss them. Whether you want to make changes to your price code.
In fact, both Li Lan and the four coalition countries hope to reach a peace treaty that can solve all problems.
Right now. Negotiations have just begun, whether they can get what both sides want. This will depend on the two sides to compete at the negotiating table. See who can keep their bottom line and who can stabilize their chips.
Li Lan needs an intact Somalia. Then quickly end all conflicts with the coalition forces and conclude a peace treaty. Then come up with means to solve the second mandatory task of the base, so as not to make trouble for Europe and the United States again when the time comes.
On the other hand, what kind of Somalia does the United States need? Is it a whole, faithful Somalia, or a divided, war-torn Somalia?
Sierra Leone, Sudan, Iraq, Afghanistan, these countries that are still in civil war, in fact, have the figure of the old capitalist countries behind them, only war is the most fundamental guarantee to maintain a country's will not invade, and only war can continue to let these war-torn countries and their people can not hesitate to take out money, diamonds, oil, and everything that can be exchanged for weapons from Western countries to slaughter their own people. War, especially civil war, is the most effective means of controlling a country.
Once upon a time, when Britain used extremely simple means to draw straight national borders for African countries, once upon a time, they planted the hidden danger of war between China and India, all of which showed the viciousness of this method, and now, when the authority of the world is brought into the hands of the United States, it is obvious that the smart Americans will not give up this effective trick, after all, the best way for the strong to help the weak is to adopt seemingly fair means.
Afghanistan, Yugoslavia, then Iraq and today's Somalia, and so on, whether in chaos or divided countries, cannot eliminate artificial hatred, and then exchange the blood of the country for weapons, and at this moment, this catastrophe is about to fall on the head of Russia.
War is eternal because it is a proven means.
Why did the United States start this war? There are not many people who really understand the essence of this war.
When the war ended, Li Lan also had enough time to think about this issue. In order to avoid the outbreak of this war, he had made full preparations, but he still did not prevent the birth of the war. At the beginning of the war, there were many things that he was very puzzled about.
Now, Li Lan has already understood. The United States is waging this war at all costs, and the real core reason is only two words - the dollar.
Not only this war, but when Li Lan turned over the interests behind every war launched by the United States after the Gulf War, he became more aware of the far-reaching impact and significance behind the continuous conquest of the US military over the years.
Since the Gulf War, the United States is the only country in the world that has fought four foreign wars in a row. Why does the United States wage war so often? The people of the earth don't understand, and I'm afraid the American people don't understand either, because these four wars took place in three different countries and regions, and the reasons for the wars are all very good and high-sounding, who would associate them with a fluttering piece of green paper?
Fighting for dollar hegemony is the whole secret of American-style warfare.
console. Li Lan sat on a chair and flipped through the thick papers. Very focused. It wasn't until Natasha's figure came behind him that he was interrupted by footsteps.
"Commander. What are you looking at? So fascinating! Natasha asked curiously when she took a small USB flash drive and put it in Li Lan's hand.
Li Lan didn't answer Natasha's question immediately, but turned out the USB flash drive, and wondered: "What is in this?" ”
"Was that your first time?" Natasha is tender and silky.
"Poof! What the? Li Lan couldn't help but exclaim, if it ......, isn't there Lin Meiqi inside......
"Commander, you're thinking crooked. It is the first time you have shown your personal force under the attention of everyone, and people have come to help you process the picture, if it is uploaded to the Internet, it is estimated that there will be a large number of beautiful women, vying to give you a child. Seeing the side of the commander Shenwu, the slaves all ......" Speaking of the most reluctant, Natasha was already full of smiles.
"Boring!" Li Lan shook her head and threw the USB flash drive aside. For Natasha's words, directly use immunity to resist.
"By the way, you haven't answered the question you just asked?" Seeing that the method didn't work, Natasha didn't care. However, she was very interested in the things that could make Li Lan so fascinated.
Li Lan replied lightly: "This is the US information sorted out by the intelligence department. ”
"What's there to see about this?" When Natasha heard this answer, her curiosity was instantly shattered.
"If you look. I wouldn't say anything like that. Li Lan said solemnly, before seeing the information carefully collected by the intelligence department. He thinks about the same thing as Natasha, now. This thought has been completely turned upside down.
From the early 70s of the last century to the present day, the United States has promoted a movement that can be called a "perfect storm" in the world - globalization, and built an unprecedented financial empire based on paper money and dollars. The tentacles of this empire reach out to all corners of the globe, mechanically performing the same reciprocal action everywhere: dollars flow to the world, wealth to the United States.
To make this game of green paper for wealth look more like the result of waves of economic liberalization than the product of a handful of carefully constructed financial grand strategies that profoundly influenced the course of human development in the second half of the 20th century, these Americans never addressed the topic in their public national strategies.
In the secret information submitted by the intelligence department of the Red Guard, there is an incident: on the day of his inauguration, the previous chairman of the Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan, warned his colleagues, "Here (the Fed) you can talk about everything, but you are not allowed to talk about the dollar." ”
It's taboo, and Americans are secretive about the very existence of the American nation.
So, to understand a country's future strategy, it's better not to listen to what that country has to say. The Americans will tell you a lot about their national strategic ideas, and behind all these strategic ideas, there is only one purpose, that is, to maintain the hegemony of the United States in this world. Why, then, do the Americans strive to maintain their hegemony? There is only one answer: to perpetuate the national survival of the United States as the world's only superpower. Therefore, the best way to understand the national strategy of the United States is not to listen to what the Americans themselves say, but to understand the American way of being.
Over the past 40 years, Americans have found what they consider to be the best and most convenient way to survive as a nation, and that is to transfer wealth from around the globe to the United States through financial means. Americans found themselves able to get rich without producing anything else, and to live better than everyone else in the world by printing dollars. Americans can live a good life by producing dollars, and in that sense, the most basic way for Americans to survive is financial survival.
Knowing this, we can understand why in the past 40 years or so, the United States has transferred its so-called garbage industry and sunset industry to other countries and to emerging countries, including China, and let 70% of its employed population work in the financial and financial services industry.
Over the past half-century or so, the United States has completed the transformation from a manufacturing power to a financial powerhouse, and it has completely changed its life and lifestyle. Knowing this, it is not difficult to understand the national strategy of the United States. Because in any country, including China, your strategy must revolve around your way of survival. According to the West, China's current way of survival is the world's processing plant. To be a processing plant in the world, you need to get resources, get energy, and then produce products. Your national strategy should also revolve around all of this. This is not the case with the Americans, who can survive by running the money printing press, and the United States has gradually perfected its own system over the past 40 years, which might as well be called a financial colonial system.
When did this unique national strategy and strategic financial system of the United States come into being?
Looking back at the modern history of the world, the United States completed the most ambitious imperial rise in human history after two world wars, which is also a completely new type of empire that has never been seen in human history. Since the history of human empires, from the Roman Empire to the British Empire, the process of accumulating wealth and consuming wealth has basically been completed in a similar way. What is this approach? It is to occupy the territory of other countries, plunder the resources of other countries, and enslave the people of other countries. This is the classic colonial empire model.
But the lessons of the two world wars have made the United States realize that it must avoid repeating the mistakes of the classical imperial model. Because of World War I, Germany challenged the old colonial empire and tried to gain its own living space, but failed.
More than 20 years later, Germany rose again, once again challenged the old colonial empire, and failed again.
The United States has undoubtedly learned this historical lesson: if the rise of a country must take food from the old colonial empires, war will inevitably break out, and the result can only be a defeat for both sides, and at the end of the day, it will only benefit others.
The United States was the biggest beneficiary of the two wars. Under such a historical judgment, Americans want to devise a new model of empire that must be different from empire in the traditional sense, but still enjoy the benefits of empire. As a result, how to skillfully design and build a new and unique empire has become a major historical issue for generations of American politicians and strategists.
Roosevelt, the only one in American history who broke through the limits of the US Constitution and served four consecutive terms as US president, should be said to be the most important American politician in the 20th century. The important thing about him is that his influence extends beyond the 20th century, and even into the 21st century, the United States and the world are still living with his influence. For example, the United Nations, and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (later known as the World Trade Organization) were founded under his leadership.
More importantly, there is the "Bretton Woods system". (To be continued......)
