The final outcome of the high-level consultations in the absence of a country is not important that the United States no longer hesitates on the issue of whether or not to make a comeback. [Full text reading]

More importantly, the republic's extensive mobilization of military supplies and active preparations for war soon spread throughout the world, and there were no secrets to speak of. At a time when the republic's military movements were concentrated in the north-west and north-east of the Republic and on the Korean Peninsula in Northeast Asia, the focus of international public opinion quickly shifted from the Republic to Russia, and the main topic of discussion was "whether the Republic will take the initiative to provoke war." It becomes "can Russia block the thunderous blow of the republic". When analyzing the situation, some Western news media deliberately dug up some old accounts for fear that the world would not be chaotic, including some views and opinions on the historical disputes between China and Russia that were widely circulated among the people of the republic a few years ago.

Speaking from facts, the history of Sino-Russian exchanges. It's a history of grievances. Even since the beginning of modern times, the two largest countries in the world, one with the largest population and the largest land area, have never been truly friendly, and have always been in a state of unequal relations. According to the mutual relations between the two countries, the history of modern and modern exchanges between the two countries can be roughly divided into three stages. First, the relationship between the two sides broke down completely in the four years from the signing of the "Patriotic Treaty" in Qunian to the beginning of the Li century, which is an extremely unequal relationship between the two sides. And the stage of absolute superiority of Russia. The second is the many years from the beginning of the force century field to the end of the century force of the century, which is a stage in which the relationship between the two sides is relatively equal, and neither side has an absolute advantage. The third is that after the era of the century, the relationship between the two sides has become unequal again. And the stage when the republic had absolute superiority. Between these three stages, there are two relatively short intervals, which are dominated by mutual suspicion and isolation.

It can be seen from this that although the republic now has absolute superiority, it is certainly not Russia that suffers.

If you are backward, you will be beaten, and it is certainly a truth that cannot be beaten by iron. The question is. After being strong, do you want to settle old accounts?

Correspondingly, there is another question: a great nation needs to have the resilience to endure humiliation and bear the burden and maintain obscurity, so should it have the bloody nature of returning blood for blood and avenging revenge?

It can be said that how to answer these two questions determines the direction of the republic's development.

If before the Middle East war, the whole country of the Republic was still immersed in the joy of national rejuvenation, only the country's leaders were thinking about the future, and the overwhelming majority of the people were satisfied with the achievements they had made, then the Middle East war was a slap in the face of the Chinese nation. woke up the complacent descendants of Yan Huang. Let Xinyi people suddenly realize that national rejuvenation is far from being realized, and the country still has a long way to go from becoming strong.

It's there. Around the time of the year, the people of the republic began to discuss these two issues.

If this kind of national discussion had been banned by the end of the year, it would have been at least silenced by the state media, and eventually disappeared. In any case, for a country that needs to be repentant. Any expansion topic is harmful.

However, in the aftermath of the war in the Middle East, such topics will not be banned, but will be officially supported, or at least acquiesced in by all levels of power. In any case, the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is not a matter for a few people, nor is it a matter for the government. It is the matter of the entire Chinese nation and all the descendants of Yan and Huang, only by pooling wisdom, only by making extensive speeches, only by in-depth discussion, and only by pooling wisdom and efforts, can we find the most suitable way for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and can we make fewer mistakes and no mistakes on the road of rejuvenation, and recreate brilliance at the highest cost.

In this discussion, the most talked about is whether it is necessary to settle old scores with Russia.

This is not surprising, because among the many historical legacies, in addition to the many cultural relics and national treasures that are still scattered in the bay, only two issues remain unresolved: the return of Mongolia. Second, the land occupied by Russia is actually only covered by the "Aihui Treaty" and the "Sino-Russian Beijing Treaty"! It is a land area of 10,000 square kilometers, and the territory involved in the "Sino-Russian Northwest Boundary Treaty" has little to do with Russia. Because the return of Mongolia is also directly related to Russia, the two issues are one issue, that is, Sino-Russian relations.

There is absolutely no doubt that not all citizens of the republic believe that the territories occupied by Russia should be recovered.

In fact, more than half of the citizens of the Republic believe that there is no reason or need to go out of their way to fight over a problem that has become a thing of the past. There are even many people who believe that the issue left over from the history of China and Russia has been recognized by the central governments of both sides after the establishment of the republic, that is, the authorities of the republic have recognized the legitimacy of Russia's control of the Far East, and at this time, they have recognized the legitimacy of the establishment of the country, so the republic has no reason to mention the past. Even from the point of view of interests, there are many citizens of the republic who believe that. In the power of modern states, when the land area reaches a certain level, the role of the country becomes minimal, just as Russia is the largest country in the world, but not the most powerful country in the world. Regain the old 10,000 square kilometers of land. It is difficult to make the republic stronger. Because the value of land lies in the resources it contains. And the people who work on it, and the republic does not lack resources, let alone population, so the reconquest of lost land will bring many difficult problems to solve, such as how to settle the people living on these lands?

can be discussed rationally. It has changed the ideology of the people of the republic. Old......

Fundamentally, the authorities of the republic were also affected. According to the views of some Western news media, as early as around Yo Yo, that is, after the start of the all-out arms race, Sino-Russian relations embarked on the road of no return, and it was only a matter of time before they turned around, and the authorities of the republic did not take this opportunity to annex Mongolia and complete the left-wing strategic detour of Russia's Asian region Based on Mongolia, the republican ** team could enter Siberia without passing through the Central Asian countries, cut off the Asian part of Russia, and shorten the route of the republican ** army by thousands of kilometers. Under the premise of completely defeating Russia, it is enough to save millions of troops, save billions of tons of materials, and shorten the combat time by more than a year. This benefit far outweighs the disadvantages of the annexation of Mongolia, because the authorities of the republic still believe it. Not only is it meaningless to go through old accounts, but it will also cause a lot of trouble.

Ran's question is that this rational attitude does not give a clear answer to those two questions.

The second question is much easier to answer, or rather, the authorities of the republic have already given the answer.

Starting from the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War in the old year of the force. All the wars in which the republic participated are demonstrated. A great nation must not only be resilient, but also bloody, and bloodiness is much more important than resilience. Resilience can make a country stronger, just as self-cultivation and careful care can make a weak patient recover, but if you want to be strong, you want to transform the accumulated strength into real strength. You need blood. To put it bluntly, the biggest difference between a pig weighing a kilogram and a lion weighing kilograms is whether it is bloody or not. To put it more bluntly, if the republic has no bloodiness and no ambition to dare to challenge the hegemony, no matter how good the economy is, it will be nothing more than the second Qing Dynasty, which will once again become the object of slaughter and division by the great powers after the next "Opium War". A nation can sink once, it can sink twice, it can sink many times, but it cannot sink twice in a row.

Sinking is like adrenal nickel, one shot can save a life, but two shots in a row will kill. In the face of opportunities, the Chinese nation has made a choice, and the republic has also been reborn.

The problem is that this doesn't answer the first question accurately.

In fact, after answering the second question, the first question becomes "Is it the right way to reckon with history?"

Suffice it to say, this is definitely not a question that can be answered casually.

You must know that since the beginning of the country, the successive young country leaders have not given an answer to this question

A look at the modern history of the republic over the past four years shows that the actions of the authorities of the republic are in fact contradictory. For example, in the case of southern Tibet, the authorities of the republic have been reckoning with history, and after the war in India, the republic voluntarily relinquished the disputed territory of Kashmir. Another example is the issue of the Spratly Islands, the authorities of the Republic of China have also settled their history with the countries surrounding the South China Sea, but they have not taken the opportunity to annex Vietnam, Laos, and many other countries that were once vassal states of the Central Empire after the South China Sea War.

Of course, it is not difficult to understand the basic strategy of the republic without dwelling on one issue.

Whether or not to settle the reckoning with history is not decided by history, but by actual interests. In the two previously mentioned examples, the southern Tibetan region is the Qizi of the Yarlung Zangbo River Gorge embedded in the mouth of the Gangetic Plain, which is the key entry point for the Republic to control the South Asian subcontinent, while the disputed areas of Kashmir are not only unprofitable. It is still far from the core area, and the difference between a hundred kilometers backward and hundreds of kilometers forward is not obvious. The situation on the Indochina Peninsula is even simpler, Laos and Vietnam are independent, and they can provide the Republic with the cheapest labor and resources, and the Republic does not need to bear any responsibility for it; if the two countries are annexed, they will not only have to seal up the rare metal mines on the Sichuan-Kuang Plateau in accordance with domestic laws, so that the Republic will lose the most important source of precious resources, but also give nearly 100 million people national treatment, which is equivalent to dispersing social wealth. Other similar issues, without exception, are measured by interests.

It is precisely for this reason that when the Western news media turn up this old topic and want to use "populism" to influence and disrupt the republic, the authorities of the republic can easily defuse the crisis, unite the people's will and strength, and move the country in the right direction by adhering to the "pragmatic policy" and putting the interests of the country first.

The problem is that the true value of public opinion propaganda does not have to destabilize the country concerned.

The Western news media did not expect to have an impact on the people of the republic at this time. It can be said that this is called the drunkard's intention not to drink. When the Western news media came together to trumpet the "populism" of the republic. The problem is not so simple. After all, the United States is the biggest hostile country of the Republic, and the American news media should be charging forward for the country. What is incomprehensible is that some European news media, especially several French, German and Italian media, have also joined in, sparing no effort to raise the flag for the Western camp, and in some cases even more actively than the American news media. What is even more incomprehensible is that in this war of public opinion, the news media of the republic not only immediately launched a counterattack, but even did not respond to the battle. These incomprehensible phenomena have arisen together, creating a very peculiar situation, that is, the whole world thinks that the republic is actively plotting war, the world

When the eight horns are touched. Only the Republic is actively preparing for war, and the other high-level leaves are waiting. As if only after the end of the Republic performance. There is room for other countries to perform on stage.

Of course, this situation did not last long, and it is unlikely to last long.

On August of that year, the anniversary of the end of World War II, the Russian authorities uncharacteristically held a large-scale military parade in Moscow. Russia's military power was demonstrated to the whole world, as well as the achievements of Russian military equipment in recent years.

You know, according to Russian tradition, a military parade should be held on the 8th of January, the day of the end of the war in Europe and the anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War. And in August, the Emperor of Japan announced his unconditional surrender. The day the Second World War came to an end. Symbolic celebrations are held only in parts of the Far East, such as the Far East, and military parades are generally not held in Moscow. It is even more impossible to come up with so many advanced weapons and equipment.

Russia's great show of military strength at this time is certainly not to commemorate the Second World War.

Truth be told, after the end of the year, few Russians have experienced the largest and most brutal war in human history so far.

Quoting an AFP report: At this time, Russia commemorated World War II with a large number of advanced weapons and equipment with leading technology in the middle of the century, which is nothing more than an attempt to prove to certain countries. More than 100 years have passed, and Russia has not only not sunk, but has also prospered and strengthened, not only with the determination but also the ability to fight another patriotic war mobilized by the whole country, and to defeat any enemy who comes to invade.

To put it bluntly, Russia is demonstrating, demonstrating to the republics

It can be said that Russia's move is in stark contrast to the republic's quiet preparations for war.

What's more, as the reports unfolded, the attitude of the authorities of European countries, especially European collective security member states, who stood behind European news outlets such as Agence France-Presse, surfaced and became less incomprehensible.

It can be seen from AFP's coverage of Russia's military parade that if the European news media is cynical about "populism" in the republic, then it is "Songun" in Russia. It's not just ridicule and sarcasm, it's a high level of concern. In any case, the Republic is thousands of miles away, even the nearest overseas military base of the Republic is more than 2,000 kilometers away from the European continent, and Russia is next to it, and the Russian armored units deployed in Kaliningrad are less than a kilometer away from Palin, and there is only a wide attack on the Central European Plain in the middle, and there is no insurmountable natural danger. The threat of the republic is relatively elusive and unfelt by many Europeans. The Russian threat is very real, the Russian armored forces deployed in Kaliningrad are the daggers under the armpits of Europe, and the Russian troops stationed in Belarus and Ukraine are the guillotine on the neck of Europe. Since Peter the Great, who went to the West for further study, returned to backward and conservative Russia, this landlocked country has not only become the largest country bordering the Pacific Ocean, the Arctic Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, and crossing the Eurasian continent, but also become the confidant of the European powers, and the absolute main force of the two world wars, and during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, the Western European countries spent many days and nights in trembling. Thus. The European news media hyped up the domestic problems of the republic in an attempt to bring out the national question of Russia and make the broad masses of the people feel the threat from Russia.

It can be said that this trick quickly paid off.

With the collective turn of public opinion in Europe, Russia quickly replaced the republic and became the focus of global attention. Although the news media in the United States did not see the wind at the helm. The national sentiment of the republic is still being vigorously propagated, but the American people have a deep-rooted prejudice against the republic and have long regarded the republic as the greatest potential threat, so in comparison, the public opinion offensive of the US news media has not only failed to achieve results, but has also made some Americans who are still sober-minded begin to doubt the impartiality of the US news media, and thus wonder whether the US authorities have used the media to achieve unspeakable secrets.

In just a few days, international public opinion has completely turned, and the United States has been pushed to the forefront under the implication of Russia.

At that time, the most concerned question was whether the United States had a secret alliance with Russia. It can be seen from this that many Americans are unwilling to be implicated by Russia, and more Americans do not want to shed blood for Russia. Under U.S. law, even if the federal government's secret alliance treaty with Russia is backed by Congress, the Supreme Court can make it a dead letter in the name of unconstitutionality. All in all, when the Secret Alliance Treaty became not secret, that was when the U.S. federal government played with fire**.

Be honest. The United States authorities must be grateful to potential enemies on the other side of the Pacific.

On August 10,000, it was also in the United States authorities that the "Alliancegate." When he was stunned, the spokesman of the state of the republic and the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced within a day that the new state minister Bae Chengyi would visit Europe in the middle of the month.

No reminders, within a few hours. International public opinion has changed from a west wind to an east wind.
