Chapter 449: New Era, New War

The first update

In a speech delivered at the National Assembly, Masao Iwasato directly pushed the issue of the situation in the Asia-Pacific region to a fever pitch, saying that Taiwan and the Chinese regime will be hostile for some time to come, and he said that he will not give up the status of breaking away from mainland control and will take more radical measures to deal with the threat of force from across the strait.

This is a further preparation for de jure independence.

U.S. President Mario was so angry that he almost threw his slippers on the TV after hearing Masao Iwasato's words, originally just trying to maintain restraint with the Chinese side, and the "delicate balance" of showing a state of containment was completely disrupted by this speech. The Chinese side, which had already regarded the strait issue as a taboo, has now completely displayed a hideous posture, and Masao Iwasato, who is "playing with fire," has always thought that there are three aircraft carrier battle groups of the US Pacific Fleet protecting Taiwan, which is separated by a strip of water, and the Chinese side does not dare to be presumptuous.

President Mario urgently summoned U.S. National Adviser Anthony Lake in the middle of the night to hear from the White House think tank's elite on the issue. In the president's office, Anthony, who was frowning, only gave President Mario a one-sentence reply and waited to see what happened.

"Wait and see?" President Mario said with a wry smile, "The question is to wait and see, what if China chooses to go to war with the United States?" You must know that behind them there is also a red empire whose military strength has not yet declined. ”

After hearing the name of the European bulldozer of the Soviet Union, Mario's mood became depressed, and after a series of changes, Mario's perception of the Soviet Union finally changed from "the joy of the Soviet Union on the verge of collapse" to "why a dying red empire is even more terrible than the strongest period in the 70s." ”

However, the emergence of a calm, strongest traverser as the leader of a super-empire is far more accurate than Mario's group of think tanks predicting the future.

"Once China attacks, will the United States choose to withdraw or will it choose to fight head-on? Withdrawing would mean that our position as the world's leading power would be in jeopardy, because two alliances of interests have already begun to challenge us. If we choose to face it, the economic crisis in the United States, triggered by the terrible mortgage crisis, has not yet been resolved. Rushing to war without preparation will only lead us to greater losses. ”

Whether you go to the left or to the right, you will face the abyss in the face of the United States.

This means that it would be unwise for the United States to choose to wade into this troubled water in the first place, even though in December last year, President Mario even vowed that China would choose to give in to the United States because of this incident. Who knows, but it ushered in a bigger counterattack.

Anthony smoked in silence, his eyes bloodshot from staying up all night, and he could only keep his head running and thinking twenty-four hours a day by constantly stimulating his nerves with coffee and cigarettes.

He was silent for a while, and then replied, "So what we have to do now is to wait and see what happens, and then be prepared to negotiate peace or sanctions, but we must not have a direct conflict with China because of the Taiwan issue, which will be a nightmare for the whole world." And if we choose to sit idly by, then our Chinese island chain blockade plan will never be realized. Now that Japan is already showing signs of favoritism towards China and the Soviet Union, it will lose another Taiwan? All that's left is South Korea. And the group of self-absorbed guys in Europe have more than enough success and failure, and at that time Western countries can stop the rise of the Eastern Dragon. ”

Rise of the Dragon.

When he heard this, Mario's heart suddenly tightened. He clutched the coffee cup, his knuckles pale from being pushed too hard, and his face darkened.

"Does the first push of the torrent of Soviet steel in Europe, and then a red dragon that the leaders of all the great powers have to look at carefully, mean that the prosperity of communism can no longer be stopped?"

At least the United States has realized that the strength of the US military can only maintain the strategic balance of nuclear weapons, and it is impossible to stop the attack of China and the Soviet Union, although China's role as the world's super economy has become more and more prominent, and even vaguely surpasses Japan's.

War means the destruction of the world, and the United States can only temporarily maintain the lead, and then subvert in various ways, even destroy the thriving red republic. President Mario needs the support of members of Congress, at least to let them know what the United States is facing.

This surveillance meeting was held very suddenly, and the vast majority of lawmakers have not yet figured out what President Mario is going to do, for them, although this agent is not very reliable, but it is indeed in the interests of Wall Street financial giants, in other words, Mario is the only one in a group of bad candidates who are not so bad, but unfortunately Clinton was eliminated early, so he can only make up for it with Mario's mediocrity.

"Distinguished parliamentarians, I stand here not for personal gain, but for the sake of the future of our children, our country, and our nation."

Mario's voice was a little heavy, and the originally noisy Congress Hall fell silent, and everyone was waiting for what Mario had to say next.

"As you can see, a red empire is on the rise, and a Soviet Union, which has maintained its strong military capabilities despite its decline. The pattern of the Cold War in the past has changed, and now the United States, in addition to dealing with economic problems, has to watch the two super-empires in the East eyeing each other. ”

This sentence caused the parliamentarians in the audience to start arguing, some of them may have worried about this issue before, but while seizing the Chinese market, no one thought that they were not controlled and monopolized by foreign capital and their own oligarchs like Eastern or Central European countries, but used foreign capital to lay the foundation for the rise of their own industrial power.

Only when the greedy capitalists who make a lot of money want to further exploit a country will they think about how to dismantle a sovereign state and make them the prey of their own financial plunder. They never needed a strong ally, just a lamb capable of mermaid meat. And China's cute panda hides the sharp claws of a giant bear that does not belong to the Soviets.

"So we must increase the expenditure of military funds, as well as the expenditure of intelligence funds on China and the Soviet side, and even incite them, subvert them, and do everything for our future."

Mario's impassioned impassioned summarization can be summed up in one meaning, the government needs money, lots and lots of money.

A member of the audience immediately stood up to refute Mario's claim, and the shrewd congressman questioned President Mario's ability, "Yet Congress approves a lot of money for you every year, but what credit do you make?" A high-ranking CIA was leaked, Agent Amster, who had a lot of intelligence, was turned back, you lost face in the confrontation in the Arabian Sea, and every confrontation ended with the United States retreating, and this is the result you gave us? ”

After listening to their narratives, Mario said calmly, "This is a new war, the rules of the old era are no longer in line with this new era, conflict is no longer the only mentality between the two poles, it is more about cooperation and control, as long as the United States suppresses China and the Soviet Union politically and controls China economically, then the hegemony of the United States can continue." Therefore, I hereby implore Congress to continue to increase its investment in our cause of opposing communism. ”

"What is happening in the Asia-Pacific region is obvious to all, and now two military powers have concluded an alliance to jointly deal with the great goal of the United States to maintain world order, which is evil and cannot be tolerated, and we must safeguard our interests in the Asia-Pacific region and safeguard the dignity of the United States."

President Mario's remarks have caused a lot of discussion among the legislators, who take it for granted that they infringe on a country's interests. Especially at the instigation of Mario, there is indeed the idea that American interests are higher than the sovereignty of other countries.

Looking at the slightly anxious looks of the councilors, Mario knew that his plan was half successful, and that he would be able to cheat more money as long as he kept instilling the threat of the Red Empire into the group. After all, the U.S. military is the best at using this method to defraud the defense department of funds.

Mario said impassionedly, "There is no time for us to hesitate, the enemy has already advanced his sphere of influence by the time we discuss, are we going to sit idly by?" No, the Star-Spangled Banner never falls! (To be continued.) )
