Some media also said that the reason why China was so beautiful this time was entirely due to the fact that the Soviet Union and East Germany did not participate in the Olympic Games, and if the Soviet Union and East Germany participated, they did not know how many medals they would have won. They said that to really see the sports level of the Chinese, they must wait until the 1992 Olympic Games, even if the next Soviet Union and other countries participate in the Olympic Games, because the next host is China, they will definitely go all out to train athletes, and will encourage athletes to fight hard in the name of "winning glory for the country".

It's as if athletes from other countries are not competing for medals for their country.

The Chinese side naturally ignores these sour words, whether it should be happy or happy, whether it should be rewarded or rewarded, whether it should hold a large-scale commendation meeting or a large-scale commendation meeting.

What no one expected, including Guo Shucheng, was that China's shining scene at the Olympics really stimulated the nerves of some people, and a seemingly ordinary salon was being held in a luxury club in Washington, D.C., USA.

But if there were reporters here, those who saw these salon participants would be stunned: Who are these people, how did they get together? Aren't these people often scolding each other and lashing out at each other in front of the TV? Aren't they of different parties and different groups?

Among those present were the Secretary of Defense, the White House National Security Adviser, the National Security Adviser, the World Bank Senior Adviser, the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the RAND Corporation, the Governor of the Atlantic Council, the Editor-in-Chief of USA Today, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve of the United States, a retired CIA official, several members of Congress, and even the organizer of a non-governmental organization, the Elite of America.

Ryan O'Neill, chairman of the board of directors of the RAND Corporation, raised the champagne in his hand slightly and said, "Gentlemen, can we turn our eyes off the television now?" Today, I was invited by Mr. Mitchelsson to attend this salon to participate in the "Prospects for the Future of China and the United States." Thank you very much. Actually, the company had already intended to invite everyone here to hold a similar event, but because our research on one person, yes, don't be surprised, it was a study on one person that did not reach a conclusion, so we postponed the invitation. I'm here today because we've come to a conclusion about him. ”

Rien O'Neill stopped and took a small sip of champagne. He added: "When I came in just now, I saw several gentlemen watching the video program of the Olympic Games, and I saw the surprise and worry in the eyes of one gentleman. I have to say that when I watched the Olympics broadcast, I was also worried. And that worry has left the Olympic program, the unparalleled excellence of the elite of the sport, and my eyes are focused on the red country.

China, a mysterious country that suddenly appeared, suddenly rose, and suddenly took off. At the end of the Second World War in 1945, the red regime led by the Chinese Communist Party had not yet left much impression on us, ordinary people did not even know that there was such a regime, and even we only knew that they were staying in a barren land. When another regime. When we, the American-backed Nationalist Government, launched an all-out attack on them, we all thought that this small regime would not last long.

When we see that their armies in the Nationalist Government are winning one after another, while those armies that lack food, clothing, and weapons are retreating. Especially when their leader was declared dead by government forces in a cave made of mud, we all thought that the regime was over and that China would be ruled by our allies. However, it is a pity. This is a piece of false news, and the dying regime has not only not been eliminated, but has spread everywhere. and occupied the northeast region, which was the most prosperous and most industrially powerful region in China at that time.

In just three years, they swept the world and drove the Nationalist government to an island. The armies armed with the weapons we supplied surrendered en masse, and it is a pity to say that many of our weapons fell into the hands of the Red Army. Red China was born, and there is another unpredictable country in our field of vision.

When war broke out on the Korean Peninsula, this unpredictable country made a move that made our government stunned again, and dared to rush to send 500,000 troops to confront the multinational forces headed by our team in Korea, despite the fact that it had just established the country and the bandits and hostile forces in the country had not been pacified. ”

Speaking of this, Ryan O'Neill said a little proudly: "For many people in China to send troops, I think it's incredible. But after thorough research, we came to the conclusion that 'China will inevitably send troops,' and if the Pentagon and the White House had bought us at that time, we would have suffered much less losses on the Korean battlefield. ”

Several people laughed at Ryan O'Neill's boastfulness.

The RAND Corporation is a non-profit, private research institute that works independently, has only one contractual relationship with the U.S. government, and it maintains its independence by having a different nature of clients. The strength of this company is to conduct strategic research. It has carried out a lot of predictive and long-term research, and put forward many ideas and predictions that the parties did not think of at all, and then it took a long time to be confirmed.

It is through these accurate predictions that the RAND Corporation has established itself in the consulting industry around the world. In the early days of its establishment, due to its small reputation at that time, the research results of the RAND Corporation were not taken seriously. But there was one thing that made the RAND Corporation famous, and that was what Ryan O'Neill bragged about on the spot.

On the eve of the Korean War, the RAND Corporation organized a large number of experts to evaluate the Korean War and make predictions about "whether China will send troops to North Korea." At that time, the RAND Corporation wanted to sell the research report to the Pentagon for $5 million, which included the conclusion that "China will send troops to North Korea."

But the top level of the American community dismissed the RAND report. In their view, the new China at that time did not have the possibility of sending troops in terms of human and financial resources. However, the development and outcome of the war were accurately stated by Rand. This incident has impressed the US political circles, military circles, and even the whole world with regard to the RAND Corporation.

After the war, the Pentagon bought the expired report for 2 million. After the end of World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union dominated the world. The United States has always wanted to know about the state of satellite development in the USSR. In 1957, the Pentagon was shocked when the RAND Corporation had extrapolated in detail the timing of the Soviet Union's launch of the first artificial satellite, which was only two weeks short of the actual launch time.

Since then, the RAND Corporation has truly established itself in the United States. Since then, the RAND Corporation has successfully predicted major events such as the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Great Depression in the United States, and the reunification of Germany.

Ryan O'Neill smiled and said, "I'm not talking about the RAND Corporation here, not for advertising, because there are quite a few gentlemen in it who have already dealt with us, and you already have a full understanding of our company." I am saying this to pave the way for the future, that is, China will once again create a miracle: China will become a great power on an equal footing with the Soviet Union and the United States, before 2000. ”

"Ahh ”

China will rise, and China will become an equal to the United States and the Soviet Union, this is what everyone is speculating about and preparing for. The rise is absolute, and it is a little doubtful whether it can be on an equal footing with the United States and the Soviet Union, but they still thought of it to some extent, but it would be too appalling to say that it was achieved before 2,000.

It has only been 16 years since 2000, what can we do in 16 years? It is difficult for a company to become famous all over the country from birth to growth, and it is even more difficult to be famous in the world. How many years did it take for the United States to become a superpower? It took at least seventy years, right? And it also received the dividends of the First World War and the Second World War. The Soviet Union also struggled to become a superpower for almost fifty years.

Moreover, both the United States and the USSR had a fairly base before they became superpowers, and both belonged to the world powers at that time. For example, the United States has become a major power in the world after the Civil War, completed industrialization, and is geographically superior. The predecessor of the Soviet Union was the Tsarist Empire, which was also a world power, and also had a strong industrial base, although it suffered heavy losses in World War II, the vast number of workers, technicians, and scientific and technological knowledge did not disappear because of the war, but were strengthened by the large-scale production of military products.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, there was almost no industrial base, there were very few skilled workers, almost 90 percent of the people were blind without modern technology, and the people's knowledge level was not comparable with the industrial powers of Europe and the United States, even compared with the surrounding countries. After the liberation in 1949, although hundreds of enterprises were built with the help of the Soviet Union and many industrial bases were built, there was still no foundation or foundation.

After about ten years of development, China has finally accumulated a little bit of family foundation, but this foundation is still very thin, and it still cannot be compared with the industrial powers of Europe and the United States, and cannot be compared with the Soviet Union.

What really developed China was that after the reform and development in 1978, it began to make progress in all aspects, but to say that it would be able to sit on an equal footing with the United States and the Soviet Union in about 16 years is really a bit of a fantasy, and these elites here do not believe it. At most, they admit that if they engage in a conventional war, the squadron may be tied with the American team, but China's comprehensive national strength is far inferior to that of the United States, and even it is still far from the Soviet Union.

However, these words were spoken by the chairman of the board of directors of the RAND Corporation, and they had to be convinced.
