Chapter Twenty-Nine: Crazy Preparations

Zi said, the mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings. [No pop-up novel network]

The international situation in the old months can be described as "one side sings and the other side appears". As Pei Chengyi returned to the new capital of the Republic after completing his foreign visit, the business cooperation and trade exchange group of the US nuclear enterprises headed by Loma Company, Boeing Company, Chrysler Company, and Northrop Company went to Moscow under the leadership of General Rockville, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, and was received by Russian President Cheryakov, Vice President Djodnovich, Prime Minister Ilyushchenko, Defense Minister Jankich, and Chief of General Staff Ulyanov. Even without taking into account concrete results, the high standard of hospitality accorded by the Russian authorities is enough to prove that this is an extraordinary foreign exchange.

Although even children believe that the protagonists of the exchange group are the arms dealers who control the lifeline of the American army. But in the initial reports, both the Republic and the European news media focused on Rockville, because he was nearly half a century old. The first chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US military to pay an official visit to Russia. Prior to this, several chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff had visited Russia, but they had done so unofficially under other names. Because there is no chief of general staff in the US military, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who takes turns is equivalent to the chief of the general staff. That is, playing the role of the supreme military commander of the US military According to the US Constitution, the president is the supreme commander of the US team, so Rockville's official visit to Russia is in itself a matter of extraordinary significance. To paraphrase the comments of some European news media, Rockville's trip to Russia. It not only broke the deadlock in US-Russian military exchanges that lasted for nearly half a century, but also opened a new era, which means that the relationship between the United States and Russia is moving from relative independence to comprehensive cooperation.

In any case, whether the comment has any other meaning is already a question.

At that time, there was a lot of speculation about one thing. That is, will the US and Russian authorities take the opportunity of Rockville's visit to Russia to make public the secret alliance treaty that has been signed long ago. Although many people believe that the secret US-Russian alliance treaty has a more powerful deterrent effect on potential threats, especially the two major powers in China and Europe that are getting closer and closer, enough to make the republic a mouse, many news media still believe it. With the support and ratification of the "Rome Treaty" in the parliaments of several European CSTO member states, including France, Germany, and Italy, and the fact that the Republic is actively courting Iran, Pakistan, Kyrgyzstan, and other countries, Russia's strategic situation has become extremely dangerous, and only by formally announcing the alliance treaty signed with the United States can it deter foreign enemies. Improve Russia's strategic situation and get Russia out of the woods. In the eyes of these news media. Because the United States would not benefit from announcing a secret alliance treaty, it is very likely that the Russian authorities will use the method of cutting and then attacking, or surprise attacks, to send a direct note to Rockville in their foreign affairs activities, and then to make the relevant information before the US authorities can react. Considering the strategic situation of the United States and Russia. In particular, the importance of relations with Russia in the US global strategy is very likely to be bitterly fruited by the US authorities, acquiesce in the reckless actions of the Russian authorities, and then reject the US alliance with the tide.

There is only one reason why the news media are so focused on the US-Russian alliance, which will be the cause of a world war.

Although the United States and Russia have secretly concluded an alliance treaty for a long time, before it is announced, the secret alliance treaty only has a deterrent effect, and it is not a substantive threat. From the point of view of relations between countries. Nor can a republic declare war on one of the parties by virtue of a secret treaty of alliance that is not recognized by the parties, considering that its security and interests are threatened. It can be said that the republic can see the secret alliance between the United States and Russia as a threat, but not as a reason for war, and there is no treaty that international law recognizes as a reason for bell. On the other hand, if the United States and Russia recognize the alliance treaty, then all the republic's war moves will become logical. Because the alliance treaty itself is a means of active preparation for war. And the republic will definitely make targeted deployments, so in the case that both sides are actively preparing for war. It is inevitable that the gun will go wrong, and no matter who fires the first shot, he will not be charged with leading the war. The crux of the matter lies here: the world situation is not broken, and China and the United States have been actively preparing for war for several years. But he refused to start the war because he didn't want to bear the charge of causing war. If the last moral obstacle is removed, war will soon come.

If a few years ago, perhaps not many news outlets would have been so aggressive. In the final analysis, it was influenced by the Treaty of Rome. Although this is only a quasi-alliance treaty. The rights and obligations of the Republic and the OSCE are not regulated. The fact that two forces that were not on the same path were able to sign such a treaty has already posed a serious threat to the national security and interests of the United States and Russia. Even if this threat is not acknowledged, with the consistent foreign policy of the United States and Russia, it will certainly not be taken lightly, let alone silently endured.

In the words of a Canadian television commentary, continued concessions by the United States and Russia may be able to buy peace for a few years, but after a few years, when the situation turns bad again, "the situation of the United States and Russia will be even worse." It will also be even further away from victory.

It can be said that in the eyes of everyone, the United States and Russia have no way out, and can only meet the challenge head-on.

can

The problem is that the United States and Russia do not necessarily need to announce an alliance treaty to meet the challenge. Until Rockville ended his visit to Russia and left Moscow first, the United States and Russia did not announce the alliance treaty, and did not even mention anything related to the secret alliance treaty.

Of course, the confusion did not last long

On the day of the old moon, the Russian authorities took the lead in announcing a package of agreements signed with the United States ** fire trade group.

An extraordinary package agreement that would certainly cause a devastating earthquake in the International Bureau.

The agreement is divided into two parts, one is the contract for the sale and purchase of arms. The second is the military-industrial cooperation agreement.

As part of the arms sales contract, Russia will directly purchase a wide range of weapons and equipment, including hundreds of fighter planes, mounted tactical transport planes, thousands of ground main battle platforms, hundreds of long-range artillery systems, dozens of large warships, and supporting weapons and ammunition.

As part of the military-industrial cooperation agreement, US arms companies will expand the production scale of military factories in Russia and build new arms factories by means of technology equity and equipment investment, and promise to transfer patents and train employees, while Russia only needs to provide infrastructure and fully open its domestic market.

Because the Russian authorities have released very limited information, the specifics are not clear.

At that time, some news media noticed a very important problem, that is, the official Russian information did not mention the amount of the agreement and the method of payment.

Although the US authorities have reason to significantly assist Russia. But there is no reason for American companies to trade at a loss.

Exactly so, after the announcement of the news by the Russian authorities. Some European news media pointed out. Russia's foreign exchange reserves and hard currency simply cannot cover such a huge military trade project. Behind this package of agreements, there must be even more striking news.

This suspicion was confirmed a few days later...... On the 2nd of the month, after 3 days of silence. The White House has finally officially acknowledged the package agreement with Russia, and the president is considering expanding the Foreign Aid Act to help Russia address the lack of funds and inability to pay for contracts.

At this moment, international public opinion immediately exploded.

In order to adapt to the new international situation, especially the ever-changing world situation after the 2nd century, the "Foreign Aid Act" was a bill with obvious targets promulgated by the US authorities at the beginning of the hurried years, and its direct cause was the situation in South Asia after the conflict in southern Tibet. All in all, the biggest feature of this bill is that it expands the meaning of the Lend-Lease Act, and can subdivide the recipients of aid according to the actual situation, so as to make more rational use of foreign aid to expand the influence of the United States.

At that time, the most discussed thing was not what this would bring to Russia, but what it would bring to the United States.

Like all U.S. foreign bills, the core interest of the Foreign Assistance Act is not external, but internal, that is, the fundamental purpose of protecting and realizing the national interests of the United States. It is precisely for this reason that the bill imposes extremely strict, even harsh, requirements on the recipients of assistance. For example, with regard to India, which has benefited first, the US authorities have used the provisions of the Act to require India to accept US reforms while receiving aid, that is, to open its domestic market and listen to the policy advice of US advisers. For example, when the Act helped Britain out of the post-Falklands War after the Second Falklands War, the US authorities made a similar demand, that is, Britain needed to respect US interests. All in all, this is a bill that is good for the United States but not necessarily for the recipient countries, and it is also a bill that American interest groups use to plunder other countries.

Affected by this, the first concern of the news media is whether Russia will accept the US arrangement.

Of course, this seems a bit redundant. The US authorities released the news a few days late, indicating that the relevant issues had been resolved, otherwise they would not be bored...... On the last month, the US State Department published the detailed rules for expanding the scope of application of the Foreign Assistance Act.

To put it simply, it is how to ensure that the US aid will receive tangible results after aiding Russia. In this regard, the US State Department has put forward several specific measures. The first is to strengthen the supervision of aid projects, that is, the US authorities will use the entire fleet arms export and military industry in the name of supervision.

The second is to increase the voice of the US authorities in the agreement, and the specific way is for the US federal government to provide the Russian authorities with a partial guaranteed loan. The third is to ensure the interests of American companies, and the specific measures are to let Russia use state-owned capital as collateral, or Russian enterprises participating in cooperation to use profits as collateral. Finally, it is necessary to ensure the security of advanced US technology, and the specific method is that the United States is responsible for supervising the equipment and use of exported weapons, the production of joint ventures, the flow of products, and so on.

Now, the situation is much clearer.

Because Russia does not have enough money to pay for huge arms purchases, it can only accept the conditions of the United States. That is, it is subject to the full supervision of the United States. In exchange. The US authorities will not only provide Russia with guaranteed loans. It will also refer to the relevant provisions of the Lend-Lease Act to export weapons and equipment to Russia on a lend-lease basis, and even recognize part of the responsibility for transportation, following the practice of the Second World War.

All in all, this is a significant agreement for Russia, which is actively preparing for war.

At this point, looking back at the secret alliance treaty between the United States and Russia, it is understandable why the Russian authorities did not pierce the last layer of window paper. As you can imagine, to the situation at that time. The Russian authorities are definitely going to blackmail the United States. That is, the United States is required to provide maximum military assistance, otherwise Russia will unilaterally announce a secret alliance treaty, which will cause the US authorities to suffer a political disaster. It was able to fully compromise with Russia and promised to extend the scope of application of the Foreign Aid Act to Russia. And on this basis, military assistance is provided to Russia. Although this will more or less cause Russia to lose its independence and autonomy, considering the special relationship between Djodnovich and the United States, which is actively engaged in the main war, and the importance of the US-Russian alliance to Russia, the Russian authorities cannot make an inch of progress and put forward higher demands, and can only compromise and make concessions.

Look at it from another angle. Although the U.S.-Russia alliance has not yet surfaced, the United States and Russia have formed a substantial alliance with Russia as the Foreign Assistance Act has been expanded to include Russia. What's more. Because the Foreign Assistance Act is a special circumstances bill, the President has the authority to exercise his powers under the provisions of the Act without first obtaining congressional approval. In other words, even if the U.S. Congress opposes it, the most it can do is stop aid. With the efficiency of Congress, there will be no result at all in a few months, and in a few months, I am afraid that the US Congress will not be able to prevent the president from exercising the powers conferred by the bill in the smoke of gunpowder. Therefore, judging from the situation at that time, the US authorities' military assistance to Russia can be described as "unstoppable."

Returning to the previous topic, the impact of the US-Russia alliance after it was exposed.

If it is said that the US military aid to Russia is completely aimed at the republic, it is not that no one believes it, but not many people believe it. After the announcement of the White House. The new European media unanimously accused the US authorities of making the most stupid decisions in disregard of European interests. Even the British news media take the same position on the matter. It is believed that the United States should not provide military assistance to Russia, at least not with the Foreign Assistance Act.

The reaction of the Euromass news media is completely understandable. Even without considering the impact of the Treaty of Rome, in the case of Russian strategic bombers showing off their might outside the gates of Europe every once in a while. The United States, on the other hand, provides military assistance to Russia. It must be unacceptable to the European population.

As a direct "injured state, of course." "The news media of the republic also immediately expressed strong dissatisfaction.

Not to mention the official media of the republic, even some non-governmental media have said that this move by the United States will certainly upset the strategic balance on the Eurasian continent and make the strategic pattern favorable to Russia, thus fueling Russia's wolf ambitions and laying the groundwork for Russia to take the initiative to create incidents.

Naturally, the authorities of the Republic will not turn a deaf ear to the strong will of the people...... On June 6, that is, after the US State Department published the detailed rules for military assistance to Russia. The Ministry of National Defense of the Republic immediately submitted the latest new budget for defense spending to the Military Committee of the General Assembly, after which the Premier of the State Council personally appeared to the General Assembly to state the importance of the new budget.

As predicted, the republic's congress not only approved an additional defense budget. The Treaty of Rome was also reviewed and ratified as quickly as possible, and the State Council was authorized to cooperate with the Yuan. If necessary, the scope of application of the Treaty of Rome could be extended, i.e. to those countries with which the Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance had not been signed, but with which the Republic had close contacts and good relations.

There is no doubt that this is not a small step, but a solid one.

According to the understanding of the resolution of the plenary congress of the republic, the republic will use this to create an international strategic system composed of three layers of alliances to counter the United States and encircle and suppress Russia. Achieve the goal of dominating the world.

In fact, this resolution is still directed at Russia.

It is important to know that in Central Asia, several former Soviet republics other than Afghanistan have not signed a treaty of alliance with the republics, that is, they are all parties to the application of the Treaty of Rome. Because the situation in the region is extremely sensitive, before the outbreak of the war, it was difficult for Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan to conclude a formal alliance treaty with the republic, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan were even less likely to form an alliance with the republic, and Kazakhstan was an ally of Russia, so the only way for the republic to strengthen its presence in Central Asia was to conclude a quasi-alliance treaty with Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan to strengthen the positions of the two countries, and influence Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan to isolate and encircle Kazakhstan, the purpose of striking Russia. In fact, at the time of the adoption of this resolution by the Plenary Assembly, the Ambassadors of the Republic to Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan formally presented their credentials to the Governments of the two countries, formally proposing a treaty of quasi-alliance.

At this time, if we look at the significance of US military assistance to Russia, we will be able to understand its importance.

It can be said that the situation has reached such a point that neither side has a way out, or that neither side intends to compromise...... Month. On the very day after the President of the United States signed the "Package Agreement on Military Cooperation between the United States and Russia," the first convoy carrying arms and equipment sailed into the port of Murmansk. Next. Another fleet of ships carrying heavy weapons and equipment arrived in Vlaslavostok. In the days that followed, the United States also transferred dozens of fighter jets and dozens of transport planes to Russia.
