Four years ago, during the Indo-Pakistani War, there was a big hype about "China's cross-border military action" and during the March War when the "China threat theory" was desperately promoted, and after the outbreak of the "Laos War", the collective reaction of the Western media was "cold". On the one hand, because China International Radio and Television Station made the most direct and comprehensive report on the war, it robbed many Western media of their "jobs", so that Western media had to "fry cold rice"; On the other hand, it is also closely related to the unpredictable attitude of the United States.

Probably because of the loss, after the outbreak of the "Laos War," the attitude of the United States has always been relatively "restrained."

On the 22nd, the day after the military coup in Laos, a few hours after Tamaphon made a black-and-white "political statement", Al Jazeera made a big news, not only piercing Tamaphon's lies, but also claiming that the CIA had a direct relationship with the military coup in Laos, and that Tamaphon, who had sent secret troops to help carry out the coup, eradicate the senior leaders of Laos.

After Al Jazeera's report, Lao student organizations filed lawsuits in New York and California district courts, demanding an investigation into the CIA. Although the matter was dismissed by the U.S. Supreme Court on the grounds that "the subject of the prosecution does not have U.S. citizenship", the role played by the CIA in the old coup d'état has aroused widespread criticism from all walks of life in the United States, and even the "Save the Soldiers Committee" (a non-governmental organization that opposes the U.S. war in Iran) has participated in and demanded that the government give a reasonable explanation for the CIA's actions.

Under the influence of domestic public opinion, the attitude of the US government has become very "ambiguous."

Zhao Rundong asked Pang Xinglong to "make a big fuss at the United Nations", which was to see the "death hole" of US President Frederick.

Shortly after coming to power in 20177, Frederick brazenly launched the Iran war in order to make good on his campaign promises to interest groups. Over the past two years, the U.S. military has shipped back tens of thousands of coffins, buried tens of thousands of national flags, issued tens of thousands of letters of condolence, and destroyed tens of thousands of American families. Although Frederick has always stressed that Iran is a "terrorist state" that supports terrorist organizations, and that the United States has the responsibility and obligation to overthrow and destroy the "axis of evil" and maintain world peace and stability, Frederick has not produced evidence of Iran's support for terrorist organizations for more than two years, nor has he taken any substantive action to overthrow the Iranian regime.

Sooner or later, the lie will be exposed, but the sooner it is exposed, the worse it will be for Frederick.

In the midterm elections held in 2018, the Democratic Party regained 1c seats in the House of Representatives with 2,177 seats, and 11 seats in the House of Representatives with 38 seats.

The rapid resurgence of the Democratic Party has left Frederick feeling the pain personally.

In 2020. The general election will be held again. If the Republican Party can't do something about the domestic issues that voters care about most, especially the economy. There is a more than 50 percent chance that the Democrats will win.

Frederick didn't want to be Bush Sr. I don't want to be Hoover (both Republican presidents were blamed for failing to solve economic problems. lost to the Democratic candidate in the re-election election). End of 2018. Frederick shifts focus. The Iranian war is no longer valued. Domestic economic development has become a top priority for the federal government.

Arguably. Frederick was lucky.

End of 2c18. Alamos Laboratories has succeeded in developing a battery with performance comparable to that of China's prefecture-level composite battery. Resurrection of the dying Ford and Chrysler Motor Company. According to the progress of the research developed by the Alamos laboratory. In 2020, we will complete the development of "grade composite battery", obtain "6-level composite battery" in 2023, and produce "8-level composite battery" before 2025.

In order to develop a ground-level composite battery for the production of advanced electric vehicles and high-end electronic equipment as soon as possible". In the 20199 budget, the federal government allocated $15.5 billion to Alamos Laboratory and $278 to other research units involved in the research and development work. Major U.S. companies and consortia have also invested nearly 500 yuan in scientific research funds for research institutions such as Alamos Laboratory.

Desperate "gambling".

Frederick pinned all his hopes on the Alamos Laboratory.

According to the Rand Corporation's assessment report, the "Class 2 composite battery" can not only save thousands of enterprises in the mainland, including Ford and Chrysler, but also create nearly 4 million jobs and hundreds of billions of dollars of wealth in the United States every year. If we can develop a composite battery in 2020, the United States will be competitive enough to compete with China in the "electric field", so that tens of thousands of enterprises can survive, create 3 million jobs and trillions of dollars of wealth for the whole United States, and completely change the economic pattern of the United States.

At the beginning of 2019, the pulling effect of the "2-level composite battery" on the economy was revealed.

In the first two months, the United States exported 1,500 electric cars to Europe, although compared with the performance of China's export of 550,000 electric vehicles to Europe in the same period, the results of the American auto industry are nothing, but this is a "zero breakthrough", is the beginning of the U.S. auto industry to return to the mainstream of the world, with very obvious symbolic significance.

In order to encourage domestic consumers to buy electric vehicles produced by Ford and Chrysler

The state government set aside $550 in the 2019 budget to provide subsidies to consumers who purchase domestically produced electric vehicles at a rate of USD per vehicle. Spurred by this plan, in the first two months, Ford sold 25,000 electric cars in China and Chrysler sold 18,000 electric cars. Although the U.S. domestic EV consumer market is still in its infancy compared to China's domestic EV consumer market, which reached 3.55 million units in the same period, the U.S. domestic EV consumption is recovering rapidly under the protection of trade barriers.

The prospect is bright, and the future is worth looking forward to!

Frederick's task is simple: in addition to waiting patiently for the results of the Alamos lab's research, he only needs to inject enough money into the domestic market to give consumers enough power to revitalize the consumer market through subsidies, tax rebates, tax cuts, and improved welfare protection.

It looks simple, but it's not easy to do.

In the 20199 federal budget, which is as high as 87,645 yuan, less than yuan is used to stimulate domestic consumption, which is not much less, but much less than the regular military budget, the war budget of 1,265.8 billion US dollars, and the trade subsidies of 6 yuan.

It's not that Frederick doesn't want to "print money", it's that the bad consequences of "printing money" are already being felt.

At the beginning of 20177, the exchange rate of the US dollar against the euro and the exchange rate with the currency of the republic was 617, and by the beginning of 20199, the exchange rate of the US dollar against the euro and the exchange rate with the currency of the republic was 617, and by the beginning of 20199, the exchange rate of the US dollar against the euro and the exchange rate with the currency of the republic was 617, respectively. While currency depreciation has helped exports a lot, the "price advantage" has not been reflected in the absence of high-end products, and the scope of US exports has become narrower.

Another pernicious consequence of the severe depreciation of the dollar is that more and more countries are choosing to settle their trade in other currencies.

As more and more dollars flow back to the United States from all over the world, the depreciation of the dollar at home is even greater, that is, inflation in the United States is quite alarming, which in disguise weakens the purchasing power of American consumers and concentrates wealth in the hands of a few.

After China and Europe proposed not to settle trade with US dollars, Frederick had to restrain himself.

If you can't print money, Frederick will have to tighten his belt.

Before the outbreak of the "Laos War", the leaders of the Republican Party and the House of Representatives proposed to withdraw their troops from Iran. Only by withdrawing troops can the federal government reduce fiscal spending, reduce the deficit, and have more funds to stimulate domestic consumption and revitalize the US economy.

At that time, Frederick did have the idea of withdrawing.

Interest groups have already benefited enough from the war, and by advocating the "Sino-US Cold War," the US Government's regular military budget has increased by a large margin for two consecutive years. As long as the momentum of China's rise does not slow down, whether the Democratic Party or the Republican Party is in power, it will maintain a relatively high military budget to satisfy the appetite of interest groups.

As a result, the "Laotian War" disrupted Frederick's arrangements.

Although no one was advocating a "war in Vietnam", Frederick could not announce the withdrawal of troops from Iran at this time. The reason is very simple: if the United States loses the war in Iran and China wins the war in Laos, the international prestige and influence of the United States will be dealt a fatal blow, and most countries with a wait-and-see attitude will turn to China.

Frederick's only option was to drag China down and make China admit "defeat" first

It is for this reason that when China again proposed comprehensive sanctions against Vietnam, the United States abstained from voting.

The purpose is the same, to let China send troops into Vietnam and get caught in the vast sea of "people's war".

The Western media did not make a big deal about the news, but only emphasized China's tough stance in the Security Council, as if the sanctions against Vietnam were entirely decided by China, and the United States had no say at all.

The United States is beginning to retreat, which does not bode well.

After receiving the news, Zhao Rundong sent people to the airport to greet Pang Xinglong, and on the other hand, he contacted Huang Guowei, who was in contact with the Malaysian foreign minister in Bangkok. Frederick is not the kind of person who likes to retreat, and the United States will certainly make small moves elsewhere if it makes concessions on the issue of sanctions.

At 17:30 Beijing time on the 26th, Pang Xinglong returned to Beijing.

Subsequently, Zhao Rundong received two messages.

First, the first round of consultations between Huang Guowei and the Malaysian foreign minister ended, and the two sides did not reach any consensus, and agreed to hold a second round of contacts on the 28th.

Second, the battle to encircle and annihilate the second group of Vietnamese troops entering Laos ended, and the army made preparations to enter Vietnam.

After asking Peng Maobang to come to the head of state immediately, Zhao Rundong contacted Pan Yunsheng, Gu Weimin, Xu Zhengdong and others.

With the keen sense of a politician, Cho realized that the United States would soon take a "large-scale" action to create great trouble for the republic.

Under these circumstances, whether or not to send troops into Vietnam became a very crucial decision.
