With Wei Qingshan's decisive voice, there was silence in the living room.

There is no other reason, it is really that Wei Qingshan did not play his cards according to common sense, and Dick Gavin, the old American envoy, didn't know how to talk for a while.

Finally, after a few seconds of hesitation, Dick Gavin coughed lightly and said:

"Mr. Wei, in terms of geopolitical and historical developments."

"Pakistan is your most important neighbor, and now that they are being invaded by the enemy, can you really remain indifferent?"

"If you don't do something, they will soon lose Kesmir, and even in the current situation, India's ultimate goal may even be to annex all of Pakistan and restore it to the territory of the British colony."

"And today's India is no longer the India it once was, they have completely surrendered to the Soviet Union, your relationship with the Soviet Union, and your relationship with India, if you do nothing, wait until India uses force to completely conquer Pakistan, or Pakistan surrenders because it is overwhelmed."

"Your north and your south will be surrounded by your enemies."

"This? This! I can't imagine this happening. ”

When he said this, Dick Gavin took a deep breath, and his acting skills were very natural and not exaggerated, fully showing the shocking feeling that he couldn't imagine, and then continued:

"Of course, Pakistan is also our friend, and we are very concerned about their peaceful development and future."

"So, Mr. Wei, I want you to reconsider the suggestion I made yesterday."

"If you want, we can provide you with some help, such as in terms of funds, such as weapons, such as international public opinion, and so on."

"Because on Pakistan, our interests are aligned."

"Are you right?"

Hearing Dick Gavin's voice, Wei Qingshan, who was sitting there, almost laughed in his heart, but he still maintained a solemn expression on his face, coughed lightly and sighed and said:

"Mr. Gavin, you are right, whether it is geopolitical or historical, Pakistan is our friendly neighbor and our good friend."

"On the Pakistan issue, our interests are indeed the same."

"But"

Speaking of this, Wei Qingshan let out a long sigh, shook his head and said:

"But we can't help it."

"I am very sympathetic to the suffering of my neighbors, and we strongly protest and oppose the act of provoking and expanding the war and affecting the peace of the region."

"But that's all there is to it."

"Because we are not the Soviet Union, we are not the United States, we are just ourselves, a developing country that has just opened up and wants to develop, has a population of one billion, is mainly agricultural, has a small industrial scale and backward technology, has a per capita economy that is at the bottom of the world, and the problem of food has not been completely solved."

"We can't do anything, we can't fight anymore, we have to develop the economy."

"We don't care about anything else."

"Mr. Gavin, while we understand your thoughts, we also understand the suffering of Pakistan, and we know better what Pakistan means to us."

"But we really can't do anything about the proposal to send troops."

At that moment, Dick Gavin's brain was buzzing, and the whole person was completely speechless, and he felt that he suddenly had a new understanding of this country and the person in front of him.

"I'm really impressed by your honesty."

Finally, after a few seconds of silence in the living room, Dick Gavin let out such a sound, while Wei Qingshan nodded with a pretended wry smile and said:

"Heh, then I'll thank Mr. Gavin for the compliment."

"Actually, it's nothing, after all, only by recognizing the problem can it be possible to change the problem."

"Now we have clearly realized the huge gap between us and the world, advanced countries, the Soviet Union, and the United States, so we have determined our development direction and must firmly develop the economy."

"Only by developing the economy is our only way out."

At this moment, after hearing Wei Qingshan's three sentences of not departing from the country's backwardness and economic development, Dick Gavin recovered from the initial amazement and astonishment, and was a little confused for a while.

Originally, he thought that Wei Qingshan's series of rhetoric were all a kind of negotiation tactics, all to make the United States pay money, but now that he is talking about it, it seems that this is not the case, they really do not seem to be ready to send troops, completely abandon the region of regional powers, no longer involve regional disputes and security issues, and only think about the economy.

In a sense, they "saw through".

Just before Dick Gavin could react to the current situation, Wei Qingshan, who was sitting there, coughed lightly, and then continued to himself:

"Mr. Gavin, we are ready to go out into the world and develop the economy with all our might."

"Although there were indeed some small frictions between our two countries in the past, with the efforts of both of us, the current relationship between our two countries has indeed moved towards normalization."

"So there are some things that we don't need to hide from you."

Speaking of this, Wei Qingshan paused, then sighed and continued with a sigh and a regretful expression:

"In fact, in the past few years, we have made a lot of changes and decisions in order to develop the economy, for example, last year, we completely finalized the decision on the conversion of domestic military enterprises into civilian enterprises."

"Because after our research and judgment, we believe that since the 80s, the world has moved towards peace, and it is impossible for a large-scale war to break out again, so it is useless for us to make so many weapons, and a large amount of investment in weapons will only drag down our economic development, so we have made a strategy of converting military to civilian."

"Order those military-industrial enterprises to abandon the production of weapons in the past, switch to the production of civilian products, and find their own way out."

"In addition, the huge size of the army is also an important factor restricting economic development, a large number of troops need a large number of weapons and equipment, and now with the implementation of the decision to convert military to civilian, the output of weapons and equipment has been greatly reduced, so there is no point in maintaining a huge number of troops."

At that moment, when Wei Qingshan said this, even if Dick Gavin was professionally trained, he couldn't help but have a stunned and surprised expression on his face at this moment!

Because he had already guessed what Wei Qingshan was about to say, this country, which was once regarded as the No. 2 enemy by the United States, what crazy things they were about to do, Dick Gavin couldn't believe it at all!

"We plan to do so in the next five years."

"Lay off at least a million people!"

As soon as these words came out, Dick Gavin was completely stunned, feeling that his heart was beating violently and his temples were beating "suddenly", this news was too amazing!

This country is not a small country with no influence in the world, it is a powerful country with the third largest land area in the world, the largest population in the world, the United States led the United Army on the peninsula, and the third largest force in the world.

Now, they have frankly announced that they will cut one million people, according to the relevant statistics of the US Hexagon, which has almost reduced the powerful army of this powerful country by a quarter or a fifth in an instant.

A million people, that's not a small number!

For the vast majority of countries in the world, the total number of troops is not so large, and if a country suddenly has so many soldiers, then in a very short period of time, that country will become a superpower at the regional level, the kind that can look down on its neighbors and punch and kick at any time.

You must know that before the Iran-Iraq war began, Iran's total military strength was only 300,000, and the reason why Iraq dared to suddenly attack Iran was because at that time, they had nearly 1.2 million troops, ranking fourth in the world, the first three were the Soviet Union, the United States, and this country that claimed to reduce the number of 1 million people.

"Mr. Wei, the news you suddenly said is really surprising."

"I can't keep my cool for a while"

Then, in the quiet meeting room, Dick Gavin breathed a sigh of relief, his voice could even be heard by his ears, and he did not hide his shock, showing the exclamation and surprise he deserved.

Regarding his reaction, Wei Qingshan, who was sitting there, smiled and said:

"It's understandable, after all, the process of making this decision was also very difficult and difficult."

"But in our view, it is necessary, it is absolutely right, because this is a sincerity that we show to the world, a sincerity that we will join in the development of the world economy."

"We have no ill will, we hope to better integrate into the world and better develop our economy."

Wei Qingshan spoke the truth in a relative sense, Dick Gavin only nodded slightly, and the living room fell into silence again.

Seeing that Dick Gavin continued to be silent, Wei Qingshan continued:

"Of course, Pakistan is still a good neighbor for us, and we can absolutely sit idly by."

"We're going to do something, just like you."

Hearing Wei Qingshan say this, Dick Gavin's eyes suddenly lit up with interest, although Wei Qingshan did reveal a few extremely heavy news just now, which can directly shock the Black House, Capitol Hill, and even the world, but this topic is still talked about to death, they are unwilling to send troops to support Pakistan?

Yourself in vain?

But now, things seem to have a glimmer of change?

"That's right, whether it's us or you, we have to do something, we can't sit idly by!"

"Mr. Wei, I don't know what you're going to do?"

"Maybe we can work together in it?"

At that moment, Dick Gavin had already made up his mind and began to carry out the plan D plan simulated in advance, that is, if the issue of sending troops really collapsed, how should the situation be brought back, how to try to win them over, and help Pakistan ease the situation, lest Pakistan really be taken away by India.

Hearing Dick Gavin say this, Wei Qingshan said seriously:

"That's right, we have to do something."

"Just like the procurement plan that Pakistan submitted to us before, we will still try our best to meet them, but unfortunately the time and cycle problems may be a little slower, because after a whole year of military-to-civilian activities, our current military weapons and equipment and supporting production capacity have been greatly reduced."

"And if you want to recover, it is almost impossible, because this process is almost irreversible, in order to pursue a faster speed of military to civilian, the means and methods are more crude, some factories have been completely converted into civilian factories, and the remaining part has even been stopped and abandoned, the equipment has rusted and cannot be used, or as scrap iron recycling, melted into molten steel, supplied to other civilian production and economic development fields."

"Of course, we will work hard and work overtime to produce."

At that moment, when Wei Qingshan's words just fell, Dick Gavin felt a surge in his chest, and he almost couldn't help but vomit out a mouthful of old blood, and at the same time, he finally realized that it was a matter of money in the final analysis!

"Hey, but I'm afraid there isn't that much time in Pakistan today."

"Mr. Wei, if I'm not mistaken, in the last large-scale conflict between India and Pakistan, in order to help and support Pakistan, you handed over some of the active equipment to them"

After an instant, Dick Gavin suppressed the blood of the madness and decided to probe Wei Qingshan's tone, so he said tentatively, but he didn't expect Wei Qingshan to wave his hand and say quite righteously:

"Mr. Dick Gavin, this is not the case."

"Now that we have begun to convert military to civilian, the production rate of weapons and equipment has been greatly reduced, not to mention the problem of those million people, although we want to develop the economy, but we cannot completely abandon national defense and security, so we used to be able to do that, but now we can't, this is too dangerous for us."

"After all, what will the Soviet Union in the north do if it takes advantage of the situation?"

"It's too risky, and no one will agree to do it unless there's a reciprocal benefit."

As soon as these words came out, Dick Gavin took a deep breath again, and without waiting for him to speak, Wei Qingshan, who was sitting there, sighed and continued:

"Of course, the situation in Pakistan is really urgent, we know that very well."

"Therefore, we still agree with the military exercise deterrence plan proposed by your side, but it is a pity that at present, our main task is to develop the economy, and there is a big shortage of military spending."

"Multi-group level military exercises are a lot of money!"
