In contrast to the celebration of the year-end victory, the night at Gates Manor was eerie for several nights, with security raised to the level of protecting the head of state.

That night, Lin Tao and Lin Zhumin crouched on the top of the castle and saw another drinking party going on. What was different from usual was that there were no glamorous and coquettish courtesans, and all the people present were the secret core figures of the intelligence community of various countries in Peshawar.

After the reception, most of the guests left, and the salon officially began.

The theme of this salon surprised and shocked Lin Tao and Lin Zhumin.

It was only the end of 1983, and the Shanren Islamic Republic was still struggling in the quagmire of war, and these intelligence and political elites in the West were already discussing the geopolitical pattern and political arrangements in West Asia after the defeat and withdrawal of the polar bears. The conclusion of the discussion and analysis is mainly how to dismember the Central Asian republics of polar bears, and secondly, how to cultivate "national rejuvenation forces" in western China.

Lin Tao and Lin Zhumin heard everything in the room clearly through the dense eavesdropping device. In fact, even if you don't come in person, you can eavesdrop on everything in the trading house. But hearing is false, seeing is believing, what they see and hear, makes their hearts beat and their hearts are greatly shocked.

The so-called "potential" is the commanding height, the initiative and the favorable situation. In the "Strategy" of "The Art of War", "strategy" refers to strategy, and its core is strategy. Sun Tzu believes that "going to the army to fight and plotting", and the highest state of "planning" is precisely "potential", which is "a soldier who surrenders without a fight". In Sun Yi's eyes, "winning a hundred battles" is not the best choice (not the best of the good).

The reason why the Western colonizers and their descendants have been able to firmly control world hegemony for hundreds of years is inseparable from their ability to carefully build momentum, make long-term arrangements, and carefully seize power. For example, between India and Pakistan, between China and India, between China and Japan, between Israel and Pakistan, and so on, there are all artificially created and entangled territorial disputes. All the traditional hot spots and the roots of traditional turmoil in the world are the sequelae of the colonial period and the "political trap" carefully preset by the imperialists and colonizers for a long time.

While these countries are trapped in the middle of it and cannot extricate themselves, Western countries stand on the "moral" commanding heights of "fairness," "justice," and "peace," and appear as "world policemen" and "political mediators," firmly grasping the power to formulate "rules" and the right to speak on "rules" through "meetings between several parties" and "talks between several parties."

To put it bluntly, it is to firmly grasp the hegemony of the world.

The protagonist of this salon is a heavyweight and mysterious figure. He is the central figure of Freemasonry and is known as the soul of the M country. He was active in the upper class of Country M and was the main policy thinker of the Nixon administration, the Carter administration, and the Negan administration (including successive administrations thereafter). At that time, it was this person who made a special trip to China to start an ice-breaking journey and unveil the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States.

Since then, he has visited China many times and has always regarded himself as an "old friend of the Chinese people".

Behind him is the Rothschild family, the financial empire, as well as world-class oil and arms magnates such as Rockefeller and Boeing, he is the "academic" head of the deep-pocketed Ford Foundation, the RAND Group, and several major "research institutes", and he is also the "academic" leader of hundreds of senior researchers in these foundations.

Zbigniew Brzezinski, a well-known White House resource and well-known geostrategist who has achieved outstanding achievements in country M, started his career with geopolitical theory and is also an important researcher at these foundations.

This man is of German Jewish descent in Europe, and he started his career by relying on the balance of power theory he founded when he was a student at Harvard University. He is the founder of the "Theory of Limited War" and the "Theory of International Political Balance of Power", and his theory and policy practice have had a more far-reaching impact on the society of country M than Brzezinski. His ideas and views have been the main basis for the foreign policy of successive governments of country M since the mid-sixties.

The so-called "balance of power theory" and "limited war theory" simply hold that the world political structure is a state of equilibrium under the joint action of multiple poles. When the balance of power is broken, an all-out war can lead to the defeat of both the main belligerents. A "limited war" can enable a country to achieve its long-term military strategic goals without being dragged down by a huge war.

Together with Brzezinski's geopolitical theory, this theory had an important impact on the military and foreign policy choices of country M and the West throughout the late 20th and early 21st centuries. At the turn of the century, country M fought a number of wars, all of which were concrete practices of the "limited war theory." It is a pity that these wars have been used to win militarily, but not politically and economically, they are completely different.

Contrary to the expectations of this "thinker", these "limited wars" in which the powerful countries bully the weak countries and the big countries attack the small countries have in essence become the main driving force behind the decline of the empire and the decline of hegemony. This is something he did not think of at all at the beginning of the creation of the "limited war theory".

The president of country M is the commander of army M and controls the three armed forces of country M. However, this person is the soul of country M, who controls the direction of the macro policy of country M and even the entire Western world, and firmly controls the process of the Cold War and the political trend of country M after the Cold War!

Lin Tao and Lin Zhumin were highly shocked that the "brains" of the White House actually attended this salon, which shows that the little CIA Colonel Gates has deep connections and great influence in country M and the West. No wonder the security level of the manor is so high, this salon is more than just a regular gathering of the intelligence community.

They didn't dare to act rashly, they knew too well that if this big man was frightened here, the world would definitely cause a series of new shocks.

It was at this reception and salon at the Gates Manor that Lin Tao and Liu Guodong crouched on the top of the castle, and also saw an elegant, handsome tall Saudi young man, his name was Osama.

The reason why Lin Tao paid extra attention to him was because Osama was the only non-Westerner in the entire evening party. And Colonel Gates has great respect for him, no, it should be respectful. And the mysterious big man we will not name also had a good conversation with Osama, and he was speculative and toasted frequently.

One of the first foreign volunteers to join the ranks of the Mujahideen, Osama is a wealthy Saudi builder with close ties to the Saudi royal family. He himself was a Saudi billionaire, with a personal fortune of more than $500 million in the eighties. He recruited more than 4,000 volunteers from his own country and developed close ties with the most radical leaders of the Islamic Republic of Mountain People, the Mujahideen.

The reason why Gates is so respectful to him is that he is an out-and-out financier. He worked with the C.I.A. to raise a lot of money from the Saudi public. He is directly in charge of the "Shanren Islamic Republic Service Committee", which is responsible for "throwing overseas money, weapons and fighters into the Shanren Islamic Republic War".

This "Shanren Islamic Republic Service Committee" is the predecessor of the "Shanren Islamic Republic Service Bureau", which was established a few months later in early 1984. This "service bureau" is an important agency of the CIA in Peshawar, and the person who directly controls this agency is none other than Osama.

Osama was undoubtedly an important figure in the "secret war of the Islamic Republic of Mountain People" launched by the CIA against polar bears, and he gradually changed from an ordinary radical "mujahideen" to a "god"-like legend in the minds of the "mujahideen".

The afterstory of this incident is that in 1988, with the knowledge and connivance of country M, Osama founded al-Qaeda, a semi-independent stronghold of Islamic terrorists with members spanning at least 26 countries, but Washington turned a blind eye to this, believing that this group did not pose a direct danger to country M.

However, after the polar bears withdrew from the mountain people Islamic Republic, Osama and thousands of other volunteers returned to their respective countries. They have "woken up" politically, and they have realized that countries like Saudi Arabia and Egypt are nothing more than puppets of country M, no different from the Najibullah regime supported by polar bears.

In their respective countries they developed a surprising number of supporters, who became known as the "mountain people of the Islamic Republic". These people turned a powerful ideology into a shared personal conviction that was closely integrated with the guerrilla tactics learned during the war in the Islamic Republic of the Hillmen.

Over the next 10 years, the "network" of the Shanren Islamic Republic (essentially "Al-Qaeda") created countless terrorist activities around the world, targeting not only country M, but also Luzon, Halal, Saudi Arabia, France, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan, China, Egypt, Algeria, Morocco and other countries.

Things in the world are always connected by cause and effect.

On the morning of September 11, 2001, Eastern Time in country M, under the elaborate planning of Osama and al-Qaeda, four civilian airliners hijacked by terrorists and crashed into the World Trade Center (Twin Towers) in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. Six buildings, including the World Trade Center (Petronas Twin Towers) in New York, country M, were completely destroyed, 23 other buildings were damaged, and the Pentagon was also attacked.

This incident is known to the world as the "911 incident".

The 911 incident directly caused 3,201 deaths, 6,291 injuries, and more than $100 billion in direct and indirect economic losses. Taking the "911" incident as a starting point, the NATO coalition forces led by country M, following in the footsteps of polar bears, militarily occupied the Shanren Islamic Republic in the year of the outbreak of the "911 Incident", and the second "Shanren Islamic Republic War" broke out.

Marked by the Second "Shanren Islamic Republic War", the long "war on terror" that "changed the world" began, and the Shanren Islamic Republic was once again militarily occupied by the superpowers. It's just that the occupation of the Shanren Islamic Republic this time is by NATO countries led by country M.

This war is also another unsuccessful practice of the "limited war theory" by country M.
