Chapter 1324: The Soviet Mentality
The Secretary of State's words almost negated what the National Security Adviser had just said, so he was a little dissatisfied.
The Secretary of State listened to his questioning and said disapprehantly: "Of course, we should continue to condemn it, and we should not express too much surprise." As long as we don't come up with specific sanctions, I think both China and other countries will understand what we mean. ”
The National Security Adviser asked, "Do you mean that we will deepen our relationship with China and at the same time allow countries such as India, the Philippines, and Australia to harass China?" ”
"No, of course not, why stop?" The secretary of state shook his hand and said, "Aren't they making China feel more important to China because they are enemies of China?" Besides, once the Soviet Union falls, our next step will be to contain China, and we will officially take China. Do you really think that if we don't contain it, China will honestly stay in Asia and not come out? Even if China really doesn't come out, we have to force them to come out and let them show off their military might, otherwise, what will our huge US army do? What reason do we have to maintain such a strong army, and what reason do we have to ask Congress to agree to spend so much on military spending? If we don't have a strong army, how can we deter other countries? ”
The national security adviser said sarcastically: "I thought you were going to surrender to China." ”
The Secretary of State sneered, "It looks like you have a problem with your IQ." ”
Obviously, because the current term of their zhèngfǔ is about to be handed over to Bush's gang, everyone is not in a good mood, but there is not much pressure, as long as the policy continues, it is because they are not too entangled in the issue of dealing with China's nuclear tests. As the politicians of a big country, they know that no matter how powerful China's nuclear weapons are, they are not as strong as the United States. There is no way to compete with the United States, and they know that the power of nuclear weapons is the greatest when they are on the shelf, and they only have a deterrent effect, and it is impossible for the world to really break out into a nuclear war.
……
Compared with the calmness of the top level of the United States, there is still a mood to ridicule each other, and the mood of the top level of the Soviet Union is much worse.
The Supreme Führer of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, had a sinking face and tapped his fingers on the table. He said dissatisfiedly to his subordinates: "Do you really think that China is doing this for its own people, just to prevent their insiders from breaking away from zhōngyāng like our Lithuania?" Immature! Their national conditions in China are completely different, they do not have the national contradictions of our Soviet Union, and they do not exist as a union republic, who will secede? Who will be able to get out of it? Please don't use our national conditions to apply China's national conditions.
Their economy has developed rapidly in the past decade. The common people are very satisfied with zhèngfǔ, where is the need for such measures to deter? Besides, it is impossible for countries to use nuclear weapons between countries now, so will they still use nuclear weapons when dealing with internal contradictions? ”
Seeing an expression of schadenfreude on the face of an official on the left, Gorbachev glared at him dissatisfiedly and said: "It is naïve for them to think so, but what you say is even more stupid." Even if you don't have a political mind. You should also think that their trials are unusual, how can they be purely technical trials? If it's a trial, is it necessary for them to announce it in advance? Is it necessary to make such a risky move? It's entirely possible to just fire one missile.
The two missiles were fired at the same time, and they were fired from different missile silos. What does it mean? It shows that they are purely for demonstration, and according to the pictures taken by our satellites, they can launch eight of these intercontinental missiles at the same time with a single nuclear submarine, and can destroy eight of our large cities in one fell swoop. We, the USSR though large. But how many eight cities are there for them to destroy?
I think that the Chinese are here to deal with the situation in our Soviet Union, and to come for the union republics that want to secede from our Soviet Union. In order to support them, to cheer them up, to tell them that our Soviet Union is not yet able to dominate the world, and it is not only the United States that can compete with our Soviet Union. And they also told them that as long as a country is formed, as long as they work hard, all countries can rise and compete with the superpowers. China has always done this, and they have always emphasized that all countries, big or small, strong or weak, should be equal.
In the past, when we listened to it, it felt like a joke, but now can we still be a joke? Argentina, a tiny country with the help of China, fought against the mighty British and fled. Grenada, a small country that we all thought was vulnerable, with the help of the Chinese, actually beat the US ** team to heavy casualties, and it was necessary to remobilize the army to settle down.
Afghanistan, right in front of us, we have been aching inside, why? Isn't it because China and the United States are helping behind the Afghan resistance? Now that China has raised the banner of agitating our union republics to secede from our Soviet Union, what should we, the Soviet Union, do? That's what we're thinking, and we have to connect China's experiment to what we should be doing most right now. Ladies and gentlemen, tell us what you think about what we should do at home. ”
Just when someone was about to speak, Gorbachev said: "I am here to ask you to think about why China has suddenly risen, why it has risen so quickly, and what we in the Soviet Union should learn from them." Yes, they learned from us before, and now it's time for us to learn from them. ”
The high-ranking official who was about to speak quickly closed his mouth.
Ye Liqin, who was sitting far away from Gorbachev, said with understanding: "I think the reason why China is developing so fast is because they are good at and dare to shake off the burden they carry on them, and this burden is more on the political side." Those big collectives, those public ownership, those equal distribution and so on were all thrown aside, and they chose to distribute according to work according to their own needs, and chose to let everyone join the competition, and they boldly proposed that some people get rich first, so as to bring about the prosperity of the people of the whole country.
We are very aware of the current situation in China, and in the past, we could be proud in front of them, because we were richer than them, our country was stronger than them, and our land area was much larger than theirs. But now? I have to say that we are ashamed that when we face empty store shelves and face the people with yellow muscles and thin clothes who do not cover their bodies, we really don't have the courage to go out.
China's launch of nuclear-armed intercontinental missiles this time is somewhat intended to cheer for the secession of those union republics from us, but should we do the opposite, and actively send troops to suppress those who oppose us and those who demand secession from our Soviet Union?
I don't think it is necessary at all, we should also learn from China's courage and courage, and it is time for us to drop our burdens. Let those who are willing to fall off, let them go away, let those who are willing to go away, and we mainly protect our core interests. I don't know if you know how the farm increases the yield of fruit trees by cutting off the sidebranches and useless shoots every year, leaving only the main trunk and the branches that can produce fruit.
Since the victory in World War II, the place we have managed has been so big that we can't take care of it at all, and the blood of our Russians has been continuously sent to many places, and although our blood transfusions have made us weaker and weaker, the people who received blood transfusions have not been strengthened because of this, and no one is grateful to us, but there are many people who resent us and said that we were too much to manage.
In fact, now not only our union republics are strongly demanding secession from our Soviet Union, but also our allies are now beginning to make stupid moves, starting with the political changes in Czechoslovakia and their demands for secession from our Warsaw Pact. Germany is now moving closer to West Germany, and their experts are studying the question of the West German mark, many of which are asking for its annexation to West Germany, and there are people in Outer Mongolia who are studying the question of breaking away from us and rejoining China.
If we send troops, I would like to ask you, even if we have money and food, where should our troops be sent, whether they should be sent to our internal republics, to suppress the nationals and politicians of Lithuania, Estonia, and other places where the Soviet Union was dissolved, or to fraternal and friendly countries such as Czechoslovakia, East Germany, and Outer Mongolia. At the same time, please think about it, if our troops are all sent out, will we be able to suppress the vigorous movement in these places? Can it make those allies change their minds?
You must know that we have failed in small Afghanistan, and we have lost our troops and finally had to withdraw our troops. And what about in East Germany, in Czechoslovakia, in Outer Mongolia? Afghanistan is because of the trouble caused by the United States and China, and this is what we have fallen short, so when we go to suppress East Germany, Czechoslovakia or Outer Mongolia, these two countries will not make trouble?
If you want me to say, we can't even suppress a country, but will drag ourselves down, so it's better to do whatever they do. We just need to cut off aid to those countries. Yes, whoever wants to break away from us, we will cut off their aid and use the saved supplies and money for our own country, so that our own people will live better, or at least no longer go hungry.
It is painful for us to abandon the allies and let those union republics leave, it is the legacy left to us by the previous generation of politicians, but it is also our burden, and we simply cannot afford it. We now need to immerse ourselves in hard work, we need to raise our living standards, we need to improve our poor lives, and we need to accumulate strength to improve our comprehensive national strength. If we continue to cling to these legacies, we will be dragged to death. We're dead, and we still can't keep it. It is better to give up now, and then take it back when the national strength is strong in the future. ”
