The voice added, "The same is true of the rise of the United States." In the First and Second World Wars, they profited from both sides of the war, providing large quantities of goods including arms to the warring sides, earning them enough assets to fight several tragic world wars. At the same time, because of their wealth, they have achieved heights in science and technology that are difficult for other countries to expect, so after defeating their opponents, they can also use the threat of victory to deter countless countries and force them to follow them.

On the other hand, the Soviet Union was unsustainable, although the Soviet Union won a complete victory in the tragic World War II, but they never occupied a huge market, let alone colonies to plunder, could not earn or accumulate enough funds, so their national strength was powerless, and in the end they could not even maintain themselves and could only collapse.

Now do you think China can survive a bitter war and achieve complete victory? Can you find a huge market for China to occupy? You don't think that the money that China is accumulating now and your money will help China survive the war, and you can fund other countries in addition to it? Do you think your force can deter Europe and the United States and protect your allies from attack?

There is a possibility of a terrible war in China today, but there is no colony for you to plunder, and there is no unilateral market for you to dump your goods. No matter how developed your commodities are, no matter how large your market share is, you are only on an equal footing with the United States, because it is difficult for their technology to surpass, and the profits earned by their high-tech products are far higher than the profits of your commodities.

If you don't earn enough money, you can't accumulate enough wealth. Surely your allies will not be able to follow you with all their hearts. They will be in a state of wall riding at any time. Choices are made all the time. In that case, it will be difficult for you to become a pole in the world, and it will still be difficult for you to keep up with or even surpass the United States. ”

Guo Zhuocheng said disapprovingly: "What you say may not be right, my country does not necessarily have to go through a tragic war, nor does it have to accumulate huge wealth to become a leader." Besides, aren't we working on it? ”

The voice laughed, "I know you're working hard, but I guess you don't have a bottom in your heart." ”

Guo had to admit that he really didn't have a bottom in his heart, although now China has worked hard. But he knew that in his lifetime, China would be able to catch up with the United States at best. If he wants to surpass the United States in a few decades, he really doesn't have this self-confidence. The main reason is that the United States can be said to be ahead of China in all respects, and China is close to the United States in only a few areas. In particular, in terms of military affairs, China is not comparable to the United States, and the combined strength of all navies may not be as strong as the strength of an aircraft carrier battle group in the United States.

The voice smiled and asked, "Hehe, why don't you speak?" ......, I ask you, do you want to shorten the world that overtakes the United States, at least surpass them in your lifetime? ”

Guo Zhuocheng blurted out without thinking about it: "Of course I want to!" ”

The voice asked, "So what are you willing to pay for it?" ”

Guo Zhuocheng said firmly: "I can pay every qiē." ......, "Still." At this point, his voice was much lower. A little embarrassed, he said, "I...... It doesn't matter if I give my life, but I want my parents, elders, my wife and children to be healthy and safe......"

"Humble sincerity! Humble Honest! Suddenly, a voice sounded loudly in Guo Zhuocheng's ears, "What are you talking about-"

Guo Zhuocheng woke up from his dream and looked blankly at his wife Liang Liang, who was close at hand. Looking at her anxious appearance, he smiled: "What's wrong with you?" Did I just dream and talk in my dreams? ”

Liang Liang stretched out his hand and touched Guo Shucheng's forehead, and said, "I heard you talking to someone outside, but as soon as I came in, I found that you were talking to yourself, and what were you saying to give your life, what kind of dreams are you doing, why are you tired like this?" ”

Guo Shucheng smiled: "I'm not tired." It's just that the bath water is so comfortable that it makes me sleepy. ......, I had a strange dream just now, and I flew like a feather. ”

Liang Liang tested the temperature of the water and asked gently, "Do you want me to rub your back?" ”

Guo Shucheng smiled: "Don't, I'm not used to others wiping my back." Besides, you're much more tired than me all day long, you have a good rest, and I'll wash it up right away. ”

After Liang Liang went out, the smile on Guo Shucheng's face was put away, and he was very strange about the dream just now: Is it a dream or is it real, how could I have such a strange dream? Are my children and wife really good in my past life?

At this moment, the voice sounded again: "You are ready to endure hardship, and I will come back to you after a while." However, you don't have to worry too much, at least you can temporarily get out of the circle of right and wrong in politics, you don't have to worry about others being suspicious of you, and you don't have to deliberately keep a low profile. Hehe, in the end you still earn, you should be happy ......, don't say it, goodbye! ”

Guo Zhuocheng was shocked, his eyes scanned around, but there were no dead spots in the small bathroom, and he couldn't hide anyone at all: "Where is he?" Who is he? Is he a man or a god? What the hell does he want me to do? ”

While taking a bath, he thought about the conversation just now, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what the mysterious person said just now made sense:

It is not very easy for China to rise and surpass the United States, which is certainly not willing to hand over its leadership in world affairs, and they have just destroyed the Soviet Union and have just gained maximum power, so they will naturally try to maintain their dominance. Only by maintaining their current super-strong world status can they continue to concentrate the world's resources on them, can they and their children and grandchildren enjoy more benefits, and can their children and grandchildren consume several times or even dozens of times more energy than other countries.

If China wants to challenge the existing world order, if it does not touch the interests of the United States too much, or when the United States thinks that they are sure enough to curb China's ambitions, they may not make a big move, but will more use political, economic, diplomatic and other means to contain it.

But when they decide that this "civilized" means are not capable of stopping China's ambitions, it will inevitably lead to a war, a tragic war, which will not only make China honest but also allow other countries that have previously followed China to choose sides.

China has just solved the problem of poverty, and it is not rich at all, and it has some surplus in recent years, but these surpluses are simply not enough to support a large-scale war, let alone support and aid other junior countries after the war. The most troubling thing is that if China is now involved in a large-scale war, its chances of success are slim.

At present, China's military industry is still very backward, there is still a big gap between the research and development of advanced weapons, especially the development of sophisticated weapons, and the United States; in many fields, the problem of what is or is not has been solved, many of which are only experimental, and there is no technical capability for mass production at all; and the high cost does not allow China to carry out large-scale manufacturing at this stage, still less does it have sufficient financial resources to carry out large-scale military installation. Both carrier-based aircraft and aircraft carriers are still slowly groping and carefully summing up and accumulating experience in use, not to mention that they have no actual combat experience, that is, they have no training experience or exercise experience. If an aircraft carrier battle group is sent to fight the US aircraft carrier battle group at this time, it can only be used as a pure target, adding honor and military merit to the US Navy.

China is now relying entirely on intercontinental ballistic missiles, anti-ship missiles, and anti-aircraft missiles carrying nuclear warheads to prop up the façade, so that the United States does not dare to act rashly, and because China has absorbed the Soviet Union's space technology, it has carried out manned space flights, which has made other countries have more scruples.

If war really breaks out, China's cutting-edge technology will either not be sufficient in number to form a sufficient defense force, and effective anti-ship missiles and anti-aircraft missiles will not be able to resist the wanton and indiscriminate bombing of Western countries led by the United States and the saturation attacks of the other side. After all, the nuclear weapons carried by ICBMs are not conventional bombs, and the risk of throwing them out is too great, not only the political risk that everyone condemns, but also the huge risk of destroying the country, exterminating mankind and even destroying the earth; Either that, space technology will not be able to be transformed into a real military capability in a short period of time.

It's not that Guo is pessimistic, it's not that he is intimidated by difficulties, as long as China is given more time, China's economy is developed, the people are rich, the country is rich, what can't be done? Even if you can't take the initiative to attack and defeat the Yankees, you can protect yourself and provide corresponding protection for your allies.

He is also prepared for a long-term effort to do this, which is why he is distressed today: if he interferes everywhere, others may suspect his motives and raise him, in which case China is likely to engage in internal friction, and as a result, there will be internal power struggles, and the pace of national development will stagnate or even regress.

This is also the fact that the Chinese Navy is obviously capable of knocking the Indian Navy to its knees, but the Chinese Navy is still very restrained, and only punishes them for sinking their two aircraft carriers: it makes them feel severe pain, but not to the point of being embarrassed and angry. If they really lose too much and get to the point of public resentment, these high-ranking Indian officials are likely to jump over the wall in a hurry, directly fight with China regardless of the situation, and break them to the United States or other Western countries, so that the Indian people and the Chinese will have a headache.

China really needs an environment for peaceful development now, and if it can make Pakistan deal with it, Pakistan will deal with it, and even the volunteers are not willing to send it, there is no air force to participate in the war, no special forces to participate in the war, except for submarines, which greatly suppress India's naval superiority, all the rest are fought by Pakistan's own people, and they are all resisting India's attack.
