Qi Yiming knew that it was easy to defeat the enemy and destroy a world, but it was difficult to strengthen himself and build a world at the same time. If he simply defeated the United States and NATO and achieved world hegemony, it would not really mean much. With the resources and living space that China now has at its disposal, it is not at all possible to solve the problem with an all-out war. Too drastic actions could lead to the unstable foundation of China's leadership over the world, and the situation of fire in various parts of the world may be ruined. In fact, in the other situation, in which the United States is the sole superpower, although the United States enjoys an unrivaled status in the world, it has also caused all kinds of troubles and ultimately harmed itself.

The fundamental reason for China's future dominance of the world is that it can truly guide the world, that is, guide human civilization to move forward, and this process is dominated by the Chinese nation and the Chinese play the greatest role.

Americans' values are more individualistic, and self-interest is greater than public interests, and at the same time, Americans' culture tends to be hollowed out, and there is not enough objective power to integrate into the whole world and form a complete and detailed ruling system, but China is different, with a long history and culture and a huge population, as long as the correct guidance, will inevitably bring unprecedented innovation.

To lead the world, we must first make the world look up to ourselves, Qi Yiming does not want to be like the United States to force others with a standard, and others are different from themselves to find fault. What China needs to do is to constantly improve itself and strengthen itself, and when China proves the truth, other countries will know what to do.

Now China is able to influence mainly its SCO allies, but the SCO is growing in power day by day. The last year of the 20th century has arrived, and the millennium bug that people feared in the millennium has not appeared, but in fact, because the electronic technology of the original plane is equivalent to the level of more than ten years later, people's worries about the millennium bug are not particularly serious.

On 1 January 2000, the new renminbi began to circulate in the SCO countries, and after years of preparation and planning, the issuance of the new renminbi went relatively smoothly. Domestically, the old renminbi will continue to circulate as usual until July 1, and residents can go to bank outlets to exchange their old renminbi for new renminbi. Other non-renminbi users of the SCO will convert their old currencies into new renminbi at the newly determined exchange rate.

The emergence of the new renminbi also means that China's puzzle of integrating the SCO's large-scale economies has been put together as the last piece. Previously, the Chita Agreement allowed people to circulate freely in the SCO countries, the SCO Free Trade Agreement enabled the complete abolition of tariffs on intra-SCO trade, and now even the currencies have been unified.

At the same time, the SCO has also gained two new member states, Romania and Bulgaria. It is not surprising that Romania's accession to the SCO is perceived as a matter of time, but Bulgaria's sudden embrace of the SCO has caused a small earthquake within NATO and created an even more critical situation for European countries.

Together with Yugoslavia, which is already a SCO country, the SCO already has three fulcrums in Europe. Although further development may encounter greater difficulties, it is still a sense of déjà vu that NATO and the Warsaw Pact faced off in Europe in those days, and it still worries Europeans.

It was also at this time that the Balkans, which had just calmed down for a long time, had problems again. The main culprit of the contradiction is still the Albanians, who have previously eliminated the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) in one fell swoop due to NATO's retreat, while regaining control of the entire territory of Kosovo. In addition to being killed and captured by the Yugoslav People's Army, a significant number of ethnic Albanian forces fled across the border to Albania.

In the name of hosting refugees, the Albanian Government has taken in some of the Albanian armed forces and even provided them with supplies. However, the Albanian Government does not exercise sufficient control over these Albanian armed forces, and some of them often act on their own. It would be fine to make a little mess in Albania, but these hateful Albanian armed forces are eager to fight back to Kosovo and retake the land they consider to belong to the Albanians.

Gradually, when the Albanian armed forces settled down, they began to attack some villages and towns in Kosovo and Macedonia across the border, and in one attack, more than 20 Albanian militants attacked a convoy of Serbs who had been helping to build Kosovo, killing more than a dozen Serb workers and engineers, and directly shaking the Yugoslav government. Afterwards, the Albanian armed forces retreated to Albania before the arrival of the KPA, and the Yugoslav forces could only watch them from outside the border line, and there was nothing they could do.

Yugoslav Prime Minister Novaković was furious and shouted directly to Albania, ordering Albania to hand over the perpetrators and immediately extradite the ethnic Albanian militants to Yugoslavia to stand trial. However, the Albanian government is also quite strong, putting on a posture of wanting to be the master of the Albanians, and at the same time saying that the Albanian armed forces are all ****** and may be discriminated against and ill-treated after returning to Yugoslavia, and Albania refuses to transfer these Albanian armed forces to Yugoslavia.

Yugoslavia was even more outraged when it heard Albania say this. Subsequently, the Yugoslav Minister of Defence said that if ethnic Albanian forces invaded Yugoslavia again, the Yugoslav People's Army would not hesitate to strike back and would not hesitate to cross the border to attack ethnic Albanian forces if necessary.

Albania was equally furious when it heard this, claiming that if the Yugoslav army dared to step into Albanian territory, then the heroic Albanian warriors would leave the invaders with no return.

Originally, it was not uncommon for people to quarrel like this, and those who could quarrel might not be able to fight. According to the normal routine, Albania has also let out its cruel words, and it should immediately control the ethnic Albanian militants in the country, strictly restrict their activities, or directly disarm them. Even if this is not possible, they should be monitored as closely as possible in case this group of teases provokes a conflict between Yugoslavia and Albania again. However, it is not known what the Albanian government thinks, and it has not done anything that should have been done, which inevitably leads to more drastic tactics by the Albanian armed forces, who feel that they have become the protagonists again.

Four days after the war of words between Yugoslavia and Albania, just when it was thought that there should be no more trouble, a group of Albanian militants crossed the border with Yugoslavia again, intending to enter Kosovo and attack Yugoslav posts.

After a fierce exchange of fire, the ethnic Albanian forces were routed by the Yugoslav army and had to retreat in the direction of Albania in the rear, and at this time, the Yugoslav army, which received a report from the front-line garrison patrol force, sent reinforcements, several armored vehicles and a company-sized force.

At the discretion of the Yugoslav Kosovo Command, the patrol force, together with reinforcements, crossed the Albanian border and pursued the Albanian forces who were fighting and retreating. The Albanian militants suffered heavy losses, but when they crossed the border for three kilometers, the Albanian army also rushed to hear the news, and the two sides did not communicate with each other, so they fought back, and the Albanian army reacted hastily so it was repelled by the Yugoslav People's Army. However, the unwilling Albanians shelled the Yugoslav People's Army (YUGOSLAV People's Army) that had entered their borders. The Yugoslav army immediately withdrew from Albanian territory when the enemy's firepower was superior and its own side advanced too much, and it did not suffer too many losses.

However, the incident also marked the official exchange of fire between the official armies of Yugoslavia and Albania, and the border conflict broke out. At that time, the Kosovo Command of the Yugoslav Army did not communicate with the Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff, and immediately mobilized an artillery battalion equipped with PLZ-45 self-propelled guns imported from China, and came to the border, where it carried out fierce artillery bombardment on the more important military targets on the Albanian side, especially the border posts and checkpoints of the Albanian army, especially the strongholds of the Albanian armed forces temporarily entrenched.

Albania was also soon not to be outdone, launched a round of counter-artillery bombardment, but the artillery level of the Albanian army was still some distance behind that of the Yugoslav army, and the artillery was mainly old-fashioned towed artillery with poor mobility.

After the artillery counterattack of the Albanian army, the Yugoslav army directly sent several Flying Leopard fighters into the airspace of Albania and bombed the artillery positions of the Albanian army. At this point, the war between the two sides can be said to have escalated again, from a simple border conflict to a border war.

Although the Yugoslav government was a little annoyed by the arbitrariness of the Kosovo command and resolutely counterattacked without communicating with the central authorities, Novaković had previously mentioned that if the Albanian armed forces re-entered the country, the military would carry out cross-border strikes, and there was really nothing wrong with the handling.

However, Novaković also knew that Yugoslavia did not need to wage a war with Albania, so the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia immediately sent a note to Albania, hoping that the two sides would sit down, stop the exchange of fire and disputes, and solve the problem through negotiation and communication.

But before the Albanian government could react, the Albanian armed forces, who felt that they had been bullied, had blown up their hair, crossed the border one after another, and carried out retaliatory attacks in Kosovo, Macedonia and other places, and the Yugoslav border was facing a complete invasion, and Novakovich could only stop the ceasefire negotiations and order the Yugoslav army to resolutely counterattack.
