As the president of the United States, there must be something urgent about a late-night call, but no matter what happens in the world, it is a trivial matter for the president of the United States, and there is no need to worry about it at all.

Now, the Soviet Union, its rival, has vanished, Russia is a waste, and the United States is the only superpower worthy of the name, the most powerful empire of all time.

Therefore, Clinton must be the most ambitious US president of all time.

"Hey ......"

"Mr. President, something happened, the Pacific Fleet stopped a Chinese cargo ship." The call was from Secretary of State Christopher, and in the silence of the night, his voice was peculiarly strange.

"What?" Clinton's brow furrowed, and his sleepiness disappeared without a trace, and he was faintly angry.

The USSR collapsed, Russia is another waste of wood, there is no need to worry about it anymore, then, what needs to be cleaned up next, looking at the whole world, in fact, there is only one China left.

If China is brought down again, then the rest of Iran, Iraq, and so on will be small and not worth mentioning.

It is the consensus of everyone that it is necessary to bring down China, but there are still great differences within the country on how to do it and how to proceed.

It has only been a few months since he took office as president, and Clinton's main task is still domestic affairs, but the military and some others are a little impatient.

In order to adapt to the situation, as soon as Clinton took office, he immediately put forward the idea of diplomacy with a strong Clinton color, and the core idea is that the United States, as the only superpower since the Cold War, must shoulder the responsibility of leading the whole world and promote American values and interests in the whole world.

It is normal for politicians to seek stability and for soldiers to be impatient, but if the military acts on its own, it is a challenge to his authority.

Although in form, stopping a Chinese cargo ship is a trivial matter, and it is not necessary for him, the president, to make a decision, but China is not an ordinary country, so this kind of thing must be decided by him.

And the military just seized this loophole.

For the sake of stability, the current military leadership, including the secretary of defense, is the old man of the previous Bush administration, and these people are about to leave, so it is not surprising that there is an opportunity to defy the authority of the new president.

After a moment's silence, Clinton asked, "Christopher, what do you think?" ”

Christopher said: "Mr. President, it's okay to knock China, as for General Aspin, it's the one who is going to leave anyway, let them toss it." ”

Obviously, Christopher doesn't think it's a big deal either. After putting down the phone, Clinton went back to sleep.

――――

On 27 July 1993, the cargo ship Cangjie was blocked out of the Strait of Hormuz by the US fleet.

The U.S. political axe accused the cargo ship Cangjie of carrying thiodiethylene glycol and thionyl chloride, two types of raw materials for the manufacture of chemical weapons, which were sold to Iran.

The U.S. political axe demanded that the Cangjie return to its home immediately and put an end to such extremely dangerous and immoral acts forever.

Suddenly, the world's eyes focused on China and Yanjing.

――――

Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of

In the reception room, the US ambassador was full of divine brilliance and solemnly demanded that China's political axe immediately "order" the Cangjie to return and apologize to the world.

Foreign Minister Han Ziwen sat on the sidelines and looked at Stovwell with interest.

Han Ziwen's gaze made the righteous and awe-inspiring Stowell very uncomfortable, and he felt extremely uncomfortable, and finally, he said: "Mr. Han, I have already made clear the attitude of the US political axe, and I hope that your country's political axe will give us a satisfactory answer immediately, otherwise, the US political axe will not rule out considering the use of some necessary means." ”

Shaking his head slightly, Han Ziwen said with a pleasant face: "Mr. Ambassador, I heard that your daughter is very scratchy, when can you let me see it, I am more interested in this." ”

"What did you say?" After a pause, Stowell stood up, his face flushed.

"Mr. Ambassador, what, don't you understand?" Han Ziwen smiled calmly: "This is our reply." ”

"You ......" Stowell was simply stunned.

"Why, Mr. Stowell, do you need money? If that's the case, I'm reluctant to do more, but if it's not more than five hundred, it's still okay. ”

Stovwell finally understood that he had either met a hooligan or a bandit.

Looking at Stowell, who was huffing and brushing his sleeves away, Han Ziwen scolded: "Paralyzed, it seems that these Yankees have forgotten what they do." ”

Han Ziwen also came out of Han Yuan's staff group, and in the staff group, although all of them can be called knowledgeable, cultivating the habit of bandits has always been an enduring fashion, so these knowledgeable people have always been a little far from the old master's teachings of "being polite and polite".

Most of them are well-written and qualitative, but they are not polite, and Han Ziwen is one of them very ordinary.

――――

Coming out of the Chinese Foreign Ministry and sitting in the car, Stormwell gradually calmed down from his anger, he felt that something was wrong, and that things might not go as expected.

Back at the embassy, Mr. Stockwell was about to enter his office to contact the State Department, but as soon as he entered, an embassy staff member told him that China's defense minister was about to make a televised speech.

Stowell's feeling is getting worse and worse.

At 10 a.m., Chinese Defense Minister General Dai Qiangmin appeared on a television screen.

Minister Dai was extremely straightforward, and he said that China is not a member of the United Nations and has not signed any international agreements in the name of the United Nations, so the Americans have no control over the transportation of raw materials for the manufacture of chemical weapons to Iran, or the transportation of nuclear weapons to Iran.

It's a [***] slap in the face.

Thousands of miles away, the big men in Washington were all pale, and they were both angry and worried at the same time.

To go to war with China, the toughest people in the world's largest power throughout the ages do not want to do so. Of course, if the Chinese only fight naval battles with them, then it is an exception.

With the exception of the United States, the vast majority of countries in the world, including those in Western Europe, are happy to hear about this.

Of course, the Middle East countries are the most popular.

In the end, Minister Dai announced that he would give the Americans one word, that is, the word "roll", and set a time limit.

The time limit is two hours.

More than two hours, at your own risk.

The world is boiling, and the Americans, who have just been in high spirits, are stupid.

――――

Hollywood blockbusters have been moved to the real world, and the plot is basically the same as Hollywood blockbusters.

If there is any difference, it is that in Hollywood blockbusters, the director will not tell the audience the truth, why terrorists are so evil, why do they kill angelic Americans, but only instill in the audience that terrorists are evil, and there is no other reason.

But at this moment, in the real-life version of a Hollywood blockbuster being staged, the free media in the United States has to tell the American people the truth at least.

Human feelings are inherently double standard.

If the current "terrorists" are not China, but Iran or Iraq, then ordinary Americans will feel the same way as watching a Hollywood blockbuster in a movie theater.

However, the "terrorist" is China, so the American people feel differently, they feel that those brains in the White House are looking for a beating.

Two hours, what happens after two hours? No, it's not two hours anymore, and now there's an hour and forty-seven minutes left.

The nerves of the United States are tense, and the nerves of the whole world are tense.

――――

Sitting in the car, Kissinger frowned.

As the most prominent expert on China, he was urgently summoned to the White House.

In fact, it is not only Kissinger who has been summoned to the White House as a China expert, but many others.

As soon as he knew that the Pacific Fleet had intercepted the Chinese cargo ship, Kissinger knew that he was in big trouble, and that he was in big trouble, which was tantamount to the United States putting its face up and letting the Chinese beat him.

The Soviet Union has collapsed, and Russia, the successor of the Soviet Union, is a waste of firewood, and the future target of the United States will inevitably be China.

The Chinese must be very clear about this.

As a matter of fact, the US action began a long time ago, and there are two obvious points of focus, one is the original and the other is Taiwan.

After World War II, there were many people who stayed on Taiwan Island, and over the years, they have not stopped immigrating to Taiwan Island.

The United States supports this move, because it is tantamount to taking the initiative to plant a nail between them and China, and the United States naturally wholeheartedly welcomes this.

Not only that, in addition to immigration, Yuben also controlled the island's economy by supporting Taiwanese enterprises.

After his leisure, Kissinger's main energy was devoted to studying China, and he did not understand that the Chinese political axe did not react to his own actions.

This is by no means the result of China's political stupidity, and one of the most obvious examples is that China has basically driven out its own forces in the Republic of Okinawa at no expense.

It is unreasonable to strictly defend Okinawa and ignore Taiwan, but Kissinger just can't understand the reason.

In the past, because of the Soviet Union, the United States pressed both the island and Taiwan, and the layout was okay, but it was not okay to make trouble. Now that the Soviet Union is gone, it is time to release the two dogs, Yuben and Taidao.

Kissinger never expected that at this time, those generals would actually intercept the Chinese cargo ship.

There is no doubt that the Chinese are going to slap the United States in the face.

Aren't you a cow in the United States, the more bullish I am, the more I will beat you, and I will fight you unscrupulously.

Kissinger has no doubt that this time, the Chinese, as always, seized the opportunity with great precision, and no matter how the United States reacted, the United States had already lost and lost in a mess.

If the United States retreats and obediently "rolls" according to the demands of the Chinese, then what will Ben and Taiwan think? What do Middle Eastern oil-producing countries think? What will African countries think? ……

The impact is so bad!

But if you don't back down, the result will be even worse.

Kissinger is probably the person who has the clearest understanding of the national power of China and the United States.

Although many people are clamoring for the United States to be the most powerful empire in history, that's all bullshit!

In fact, the United States was far worse than the Roman Empire.

When the Roman Empire was at its strongest, where its power could be extended, was there a country that the Roman Empire did not dare to fight? Was there a country that the Roman Empire could not win?

The answer is no.

Now, it is true that no one dares to take the initiative to attack the United States, but does the United States dare to start an all-out war with China? Can the United States win a full-scale war?

The answer is still no.

At sea, China cannot defeat the United States, and it is not even qualified to compete with the United States, but on land, the United States cannot defeat China.

If nothing else, the United States cannot afford to die just by people.

Once the war starts, China will inevitably send troops to the Middle East, and once China occupies the Middle East and drives the United States out, what ability does the United States have to continue the war with China?

Moreover, although China does not have the maritime power to fight the United States now, it does not mean that it will never have it, and Kissinger feels that if China wants to, it will soon be able to have a powerful maritime force.

China, it's not that it can't do it, but that it doesn't do it for some reason. Perhaps, China has already done it, but no one knows.

In addition, there is something even more uncomfortable for the United States, that is, although the United States has a strong maritime power, if the Chinese ignore this, the United States' powerful maritime power is just a decoration, because the American fleet does not dare to approach China's coastline at all.

Relying on land-based missiles and aircraft, in the near sea, the American fleet went to look for death.

Moreover, the United States still has a difficult problem, that is, it can bomb but cannot bomb southern China, but it wants to bomb northern China, because the relationship between the sea area is much more difficult and dangerous than bombing southern China.

As for nuclear weapons, between China and the United States, they are purely decorations, and they are useless.

Therefore, before Kissinger entered the White House, his brain was about to crack.

――――

Time is too short, there is no time for intrigue, showmanship, and quarrels, and after Kissinger entered the White House, one, two, three, four, five...... They are listed one by one, and then let the big guys choose.

After a moment of silence, Clinton asked, "Mr. Kissinger, do you think the Chinese really dare to do it?" ”

Without hesitation, Kissinger said: "Mr. President, I have no slightest doubt about this, the Chinese will definitely do it." ”

Speaking of this, Kissinger sighed slightly and said, "Mr. President, we have found the wrong opponent in the wrong place at the wrong time. ”

Within the United States, there is a high degree of consensus on the collapse of China like the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the Jews like Kissinger are the main force among them.

China's attitude toward Israel has left them on the back of the edge.

There is a high degree of consensus on the collapse of China, but there are great differences in how to act. In this regard, Washington basically has three views.

The first is represented by the radical wing of the military, who advocate taking the initiative and simply taking China down.

There is little market for this view, because the cost of using force against China is too high, and many people are not as optimistic about the odds as the militants in the military.

Most of the radicals in the military are blindly optimistic. And this is the main reason why the radicals of the military stabbed the eggs this time.

The second type is dominated by Clinton and others, who advocate the cautious use of force, preferably by the same method as the Soviet Union against China.

The third is dominated by Kissinger, who is the most stable faction that wants to bring down China, and who advocates integrating China into the global system dominated by the United States, and then slowly looking for opportunities.

In fact, there is an unspeakable reason implicit in this proposition of Kissinger and others, that is, it is delayed, dragged until Han Lihong's death.

Han Lihong is China's anchor in the sea, and Han Lihong will not be able to directly confront China in one day, and even China will try to make concessions when it comes to its door.

Kissinger's solid assertion is also not well marketed because of globalization.

Globalization is another dreamlike picture drawn by the United States since the petrodollar, and if the purpose of globalization is realized, then the United States will be the eternal world hegemon, and no one can challenge it.

First of all, globalization conforms to the core idea of capitalism and the trend of historical development, and this is the basis for the rational pursuit of globalization.

On the one hand, in the world, the economies of various countries and regions are intertwined, mutually influencing, and integrated into a unified whole, that is, the formation of a global unified market, which is the trend of historical development.

On the other hand, global rules for regulating economic behavior have been established around the world, and a global mechanism for economic operation has been established on this basis. In this process, the market economy dominates the world, and the factors of production flow freely and are optimally allocated on a global scale.

There is no doubt that the implementation of globalization and the free flow and optimal allocation of factors of production on a global scale will inevitably promote the great development of the world economy, and at the same time, the countries of the world will be more closely connected, forming a situation in which you have me and I have you, which will naturally promote world peace.

Of course, there is no single approach that will benefit the whole world, and even if there is, the benefits will be large and small.

The United States is naturally in the best interest of the United States and the West in promoting globalization.

Promoting globalization is a dream because the benefits are so many and so wonderful.

The first benefit, which is also the core of globalization, is to carry out the industrial division of labor around the world, specifically the United States makes airplanes, and emerging countries make toys; European and American countries provide knowledge industries, financial products and management experience, while backward countries provide natural resources, cheap labor and low-cost goods; Americans set the standards for communications, and emerging countries make cheap appliances......

The first benefit can be trumpeted, while the second benefit cannot be spoken.

Through the experience of bringing down the Soviet Union, the United States has found that its financial weapons are really very useful, and after globalization, the United States' financial weapons will have a broad place to use.

This is one of them, and the other is the US military bases and fleets.

The US military bases are all over the world, guarding almost all strategic points, and if it is not globalization, it is a bit wasteful, and after globalization, it will be very useful.

However, China is the biggest obstacle to globalization, and this is the most urgent and practical reason why many people want to bring China down.
