Pan Xun's heart was very confused. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The news that Gu Weijun sent back made him feel a little difficult.

No one wants to fight the Americans, not because they are afraid of the Americans, but because there is a consensus among Chinese politicians, that is, to seek stability and seize the time to develop strength, and only strength is the foundation.

Fools know that the economic momentum has been so good in recent years, and if there is a war at this time, it is death. As a result of the Europeans fighting a war on their own, the strength of China and the United States has long been analyzed by world commentators, and the passive avoidance of war by Britain and France during World War II, especially the British Empire, may not be without this reason.

At this time, China and the United States went to war, and the biggest benefit was naturally Europe. As a politician, Europeans have overwhelmed the whole world in the past few hundred years, and there have been 26 outstanding civilizations in human history, most of which have disappeared by now, and even those that survive are slowly dying out, and the reason for their demise is nothing more than the strong rise of European civilization.

Pan Xun, who was deeply baptized by traditional culture, could not accept that Chinese civilization had come to an end, at the level of civilization, he never regarded the United States as an opponent, and it was impossible for the United States, a country of immigrants, to pose a threat to an ancient civilization like China at the level of civilization, and the real threat was still Europe.

Therefore, compared with the rise of the Americans, Pan Xun does not want to see the resurgence of European power and rebuild European hegemony on the ruins of the Sino-American war.

But now the attitude of the Americans has exceeded his expectations, if the Americans get tough early, Pan Xun is not afraid, it is a big deal to fight a war, and then negotiate, and the Americans give in, then it will naturally be better, and the United States' submission is tantamount to giving up the hope of competing for hegemony, and at least there is no possibility of rising to become a world hegemon in the next 30 years.

Pan Xun is most worried about the Americans' current attitude of not fighting or making peace, and a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water, because it means that China may begin to compete with the United States for a long time and fall into the suffocating arms race of the Europeans before the European war.

The British relied on Japan in Asia, and France gave up the efforts of the Ocean Fleet early on, and put the main force on the army side to fight Germany, thus creating a power vacuum in Asia, first allowing Japan to rise, and China could become the new hegemon as long as it defeated Japan.

It is conceivable that if the Europeans were united and united, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and other countries would not be able to gain a chance to rise in Asia, and China would have to fall step by step, and finally become a colony divided by other countries.

If China and the United States also fall into this situation, both countries will put huge economic power into the arms race, the first civilian economy will naturally be greatly affected, and Europe will once again have the advantage in less than ten years, and what is even more terrifying is that China must shrink its power to compete with the United States in the Pacific region, so how to resist the Europeans who have recovered their strength from returning to the South Seas and returning to China's periphery.

Once the confrontation with the Americans continues, China will return to the state of being surrounded by European forces in the past in a short period of time, like a cage, and once something happens, China and the United States go to war, the Europeans will completely dominate the situation, because at that time you have to think about whether Europe and the United States will stand together to fight against China, just like the Entente countries jointly encircled and suppressed Germany.

Pan Xun was very worried about this, he felt that it was beyond his control, so he finally wanted to meet with Yang Chao, at this time he felt that it seemed that only this chairman could always be comfortable in this complex situation, and before that they had never had anything to do with Yang Chao, insisted on handling affairs by themselves, and even were very defensive of Yang Chao, the reason why he accepted Yang Chao's advice last time and sent the entire fleet to Hawaii was precisely because he felt that he could not control the compromise.

"Hahahaha, President Pan is here, it's really brilliant."

Yang Chao's face was full of spring breeze, Pan Xun's face was full of sorrow, and the two met like this.

Pan Xun said politely: "The chairman is very happy, and he has come to celebrate as a person." ”

came to celebrate in person, but came secretly, and asked for secrecy, speaking of which, I still don't want to leave the outside world with the impression of sheltering under Yang Chao's wings, speaking of which is still the kind of face-raising in a man's heart, if it is Mi Qing, there is absolutely no such concern.

Yang Chao said with a smile: "The president is polite, the president has every opportunity, just send someone to send a congratulatory note, so proximity, it is too exciting." ”

Pan Xun said: "Chairman forgive me, this time is too busy, I should have visited earlier." Americans are so reassuring. ”

Pan Xun took the opportunity to lead the topic to the international situation, he didn't care about Yang Chao's birth of a child at all, and having a boy or a girl had nothing to do with him, even if he gave birth to a Nezha, he would not make trouble with his sea.

Yang Chao nodded: "Indeed." Isn't this a dead face for the Americans, who do not have the bearing of a great power? ”

Pan Xun said: "Our country has always shown its own bearing, but European countries have ill intentions, and they have the sinister intention of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and if they are not careful, the European powers are afraid of making a comeback." ”

Pan Xun looked at Yang Chao cautiously after speaking, he hoped to get an answer from Yang Chao, he knew Yang Chao very well, once there was a problem, Yang Chao liked to make some long speeches, although he was a little resistant to this before, thinking that this person was a good teacher, but now he really needs this person's opinion.

Yang Chao pondered for a moment, he didn't have Pan Xun's worries, because he knew that European countries had no chance of making a comeback, he knew that Germany, a-stirring stick, would stir up European chickens and dogs again, and Soviet Russia, a political force that made European countries uncomfortable, would threaten Europe for nearly a hundred years.

But Pan Xun didn't know that at this time, the world still believed that Britain was the world hegemon, where was the soft power for hundreds of years, and the assets she owned still gave her huge potential, India, Canada, Australia, South Africa, most of Africa, as well as colonies and dependent countries such as the Middle East, who dared to underestimate the British Empire.

Who dares to say that the British Empire will not set foot in East Asia again, and the United States has always been guarding against Britain rebuilding its sphere of influence in the Americas, if it were not for the hostility between China and the United States, the competition between the United States and Britain in Central and South America would be the most intense, and the two sides launched a frenzied scramble for oil resources in Venezuela and other countries, and the mineral resources of Chile and other countries in South America have also made the two countries compete for a hideous face.

In fact, the world is still afraid of the British Empire, and it is afraid of Europe.

Yang Chao pondered, not thinking about the threat of Europe, but thinking about what the future American imperialists would do if they encountered the current situation. (To be continued.) )
