Volume 8 A Hundred Years of Grudge Chapter 79 Battles Outside the Battlefield
Instead of going to the Führer's Mansion alone, Cunxun went to the Ministry of Defense to call Ye
Seeing the two of them coming at the same time, Wang Yuanqing knew that things were not going well. 【Reading.com】
"Intelligence has been received that Japanese Foreign Minister Shikawa Kitayama arrived in Washington a few hours ago." Li Cunxun took out a cigarette as soon as he sat on the sofa, "After the meeting between US Secretary of State Brudrin and Shikawa Kitayama, he immediately went to the White House. When I left the MIA, Brooklyn hadn't left the White House. ”
Wang Yuanqing was not surprised, and it was only natural for Japan to ask the United States for help.
"The military attaché in Britain and France sent back a message that the EU is preparing to convene an emergency meeting this afternoon." Ye Zhisheng took the cigarette handed by Li Cunxun and did not rush to light it, "Before that, Westwood had a hotline call with the leaders of the other three permanent members, when we were under a nuclear attack by Japan and the country was on strategic alert. ”
Wang Yuanqing frowned slightly, and his expression still seemed very calm.
"All indications are that the United States is taking action."
"What will the United States do?" Wang Yuanqing glanced at the two aides and said, "If I were in the position of president of the United States, I would also take action." According to our previous speculation, the probability of the United States sending troops is almost zero, and the domestic environment and international situation of the United States do not allow the sending of troops to war. Without sending troops, the United States could only provide assistance to Japan in two ways, one was to provide war materials, and the other was to exert diplomatic pressure on us. The Military Intelligence Agency provided an assessment report that it was difficult for the United States to send war materials to Japan, and we took corresponding measures. After defeating the Japanese Air Force and seizing air supremacy, we will carry out a strategic blockade of Japan, demarcate the areas of engagement, and publish the list of embargoed materials. Although this will have a great impact on our diplomatic work, we are fighting a war of aggression and counterattack, and we have reason to blockade Japan, and even if other countries are dissatisfied, they will not fight with us on this issue. The key question is, in what ways will the United States exert diplomatic pressure on us? ”
Ye Zhisheng sighed and said: "The purpose of the United States is determined by its purpose, and we must first understand the purpose of the United States. ”
"There is no need to guess this, the purpose of the United States is to weaken us." Wang Yuanqing smiled coldly and said, "Of course, there are many ways and means to weaken us, such as weakening China's national strength through war, tarnishing China's international image, publicizing the threat posed by China's expansionist actions to neighboring countries and world stability, making a big fuss about humanitarian issues, uniting other countries to deal with us, and so on. ”
"I think. The United States will not act on just one side. ”
Yuan Qing nodded slightly. motioned for Li Cunxun to continue.
Ye Zhisheng frowned slightly. He looked at Li Cunxun.
"The United States will definitely supply Japan with strategic supplies. They even sent weapons and equipment to Japan under the banner of 'humanitarian aid'. Li Cunxun extinguished the cigarette butt. Said. "In this case, it is easy for them to come into conflict with the United States. For example, U.S. nationality or U.S.-flagged ships traveling to Japan. Do we intercept and verify it? If action is taken. Will the U.S. send convoys to protect the convoy bound for Japan? We can only take a discriminatory approach. There is no ban on the delivery of humanitarian relief materials to Japan, and the flow of military supplies into Japan is prohibited. The Military Intelligence Agency will do its best to gather intelligence. Provide support for interdiction operations. As long as you can grasp the handle of the United States. It would prevent the United States from sending military supplies to Japan. Let the United States have some concerns about military aid. ”
Wang Yuanqing nodded. Li Cunxun not only raised questions. Local solutions to the problem were also proposed.
"In terms of publicity, we need to respond positively." Li Cunxun picked up another cigarette. said: "The Führer is right. The United States will certainly take this opportunity to tarnish China's international image, and promote our country as an aggressive country. Before that. We have made ample preparations to wage war in the name of aggression and counterattack. It was not us who launched the aggression in the first place. It's Japan. Morality is on our side. Just use our chips wisely. It will be able to dismantle the offensive of public opinion in the United States. Of course. Hole cards cannot be revealed immediately. It's better to take a 'preemptive' strategy. Let the United States strike first. Show your trump card at the critical moment. The pressure of public opinion in the United States will be broken! ”
Wang Yuanqing smiled slightly and agreed with Li Cunxun's suggestion again.
"Does our country pose a threat to neighboring countries and world stability? This problem is not serious, as long as we make a breakthrough in the South Asian issue, the US rhetoric will lose its foundation, and when the time comes, no matter where the trouble goes, the reason will be on our side. Li Cunxun lit a cigarette at this time, took two puffs, and said, "There is only one thing that we must be guarded against, and that is that the United States and other forces are putting pressure on our country." ”
Wang Yuanqing nodded again, indicating that he understood what Li Cunxun meant.
"Mainly Europe." Ye Zhisheng couldn't help but say, "Our sending troops to recover Taiwan will definitely affect the attitude of European countries towards this war." Over the years, our relations with European countries have been tepid, Europe needs our technology, and we need Europe to contain the United States. A few years ago, because of civil issues, there were many conflicts between China and the European Union. The United States will certainly take advantage of these factors and turn to Europe
ringing, and even wooing the EU. There are no other guarantees, because we will provide military aid, so Britain will definitely support the United States. Italy's attitude is also more inclined towards the United States, and as long as France and Germany relent, the EU will be on the side of the United States. ”
"The United States is only an inevitable result of wooing the European Union, and I think it is even more important to beware of Russia."
"Russia?" Ye Zhisheng glanced at Li Cunxun.
Wang Yuanqing frowned slightly, and also looked at Li Cunxun.
"Ostensibly, because of the presence of the United States, we have common interests with Russia." Li Cunxun extinguished the cigarette butt, sighed, and said, "But common interests cannot hide our contradictions with Russia." Civil conflicts are still minor issues that can be resolved through diplomatic channels. As our country consolidates its neighbors, our contradictions with Russia are becoming more and more apparent. On the Indian side, Russia has been secretly supporting India, hoping to use our influence to restore its influence in India. As the United States entered a period of strategic contraction, Mongolia's diplomatic leanings also had a great impact on our relations with Russia. After the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan, the Central Asian countries have been hovering between us and Russia, which has also had a very great impact on our relations with Russia. More importantly, as we step by step to resolve the issues left over from history, especially on the issue of southern Tibet, we will inevitably make Russia pay more attention to its Far East. ”
"In other words, Russia does not want China to dominate the international situation."
Li Cunxun nodded and said: "My economic strength has surpassed that of the United States, while Russia's comprehensive national strength is less than one-fifth of my country's. In this case, the stronger we are, the more serious Russia's concerns become. After the outbreak of the crisis in South Asia, Russia actively intervened to mediate, not to eliminate the threat of war, but to take the opportunity to win over India. Although in the short term, Russia will not go to the opposite side of us, Russia will not support us, and may even turn to the United States and use the United States to suppress us and realize its national interests. ”
Wang Yuanqing nodded and said: "It is true, Japan's defeat will intensify our contradictions with Russia. ”
"Russia will also be worried about the nationalist sentiments in our country as a result." Li Cunxun smiled bitterly and said, "We have too many historical problems with Russia, and if nationalist sentiment in our country is raised, Russia will feel a real threat." Since the outbreak of the war, Russia has quietly adjusted its military deployment in the Far East. Since last year, Russia has issued a number of decrees and administrative regulations restricting the entry of Chinese personnel. All indications indicate that Russia is very worried about our extreme measures in the historical legacy. ”
"I'm afraid, now Russia is more hearty."
Li Cunxun frowned slightly, and Ye Zhisheng looked over.
"The combat capability of our 'national strategic defense system' has been proven, and if Russia believes that the nuclear weapons on which it depends are set up and even become a time bomb for its own destruction, I am afraid that Russia will believe that when the time comes, we will deal with them as we did with Japan."
"This possibility cannot be ruled out."
"We can see it, and so can the United States." Wang Yuanqing sighed and said, "Xiao Li is right, the United States will definitely unite Europe and Russia to put pressure on us." Thankfully, we're prepared. It is very difficult for us to exert influence on the EU, so we should try to stabilize Russia as much as possible. ”
"The Prime Minister has to work harder."
Wang Yuanqing nodded and said, "I will contact the prime minister as soon as possible and ask him to meet with the Russian president as soon as possible." Europe can't relax, let Yan Shanglong try to stabilize the EU, at least buy more time. ”
"It's best to have a direct hotline call with the leaders of a few important countries to make our attitude clear."
Wang Yuanqing smiled faintly and said: "I will deal with it as soon as possible, the key is combat operations, especially intelligence gathering for the military assistance that the United States may provide to Japan." Without the United States taking the lead, the EU and Russia will not attack us. If the United States could shut up, we would be in a much more relaxed position. ”
Li Cunxun nodded and didn't say much.
"Xiaoye, how is the war mobilization going?"
"It is proceeding according to plan, major military factories have received production orders, and the State Council is making adjustments to the allocation of resources; Preparations for the recruitment of retired servicemen are about to be completed, and the first to recruit are retired fighter pilots, and the recruitment of other fighters is determined by the development of the war situation, and there is no need to expand the scale of conscription for the time being. ”
"You need to use more snacks in this matter, now that the prime minister is not in the country, you have to be responsible for a lot of work."
Ye Zhisheng nodded and agreed, he knew that this was the opportunity for Wang Yuanqing to give him exercise.
"That's it, you go back to work first, and then discuss countermeasures after figuring out the situation."
Seeing off the Minister of Defense and the Director of Military Intelligence, Wang Yuanqing asked Jiao Lushan to contact Zong Yingren and Yan Shanglong, and then contacted the Secretariat of the Führer's Mansion and dialed the Kremlin's hotline.
