Chapter III: Collectivization
"The main topic of the hostile London Conference was the complete elimination of nuclear weapons, but all those who seek to do so agree that the London Conference was a watershed moment in the international situation after the end of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. [No pop-up novel network]
There is only one reason why the London Conference is so important: the complete replacement of the United Nations by regional international organizations.
As early as the year of the fighter, after the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War, the Western world began to advocate that "the Sino-US Cold War" has exploded with one war after another related to the Republic and the United States, and the argument of the "Sino-US Cold War" has become increasingly high. In fact, until the London Conference, the "Sino-US Cold War" lacked an extremely important basic condition. That is, regional international organizations with the Republic and the United States at their cores have not yet been formed. To be precise, the military-political alliance bloc, with the Republic and the United States as the core, and on the basis of collective security, has not yet been fully formed.
On the surface, this is a "false proposition".
In the eyes of the vast majority of people, as early as after the end of the Korean Peninsula War, a military-political alliance bloc with the Republic and the United States as the core was formed.
The NATO bloc is a military-political alliance bloc with the United States as the core and collective security as the foundation. In fact, after a brief expansion after the end of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, the NATO bloc began to decline. The first symbol is the Georgian war in the year of stay, and the Ukrainian elections in the old year. These two incidents put an end to NATO's expansionist operations and eventually led to the NATO bloc parting ways with the EU bloc on the issue of collective security in Europe.
Under the active promotion of France, Germany and Italy. After the EU achieved economic integration, it began to promote military integration, with the establishment of a collective security system as the fundamental purpose, and political integration is only a natural extension of military integration. As the EU becomes more and more important in European security affairs, NATO's influence in the field of security and defense is decreasing.
From another point of view, if the collective security provided by NATO is important enough, why should France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, and other countries that are members of both the EU and NATO actively promote the process of European political integration? Among other things, during the Iran war, the United States once wanted NATO members to send troops. The burden of the war was shared, but only Britain responded to the call of the United States, and it only symbolically sent troops to the war, without providing substantial assistance. If the United States still has a strong enough influence in the NATO bloc, like ! In the Kosovo war in that year, the NATO bloc members will not sit idly by.
Fundamentally speaking, the serious divergence between the US interest in striving for world hegemony and the national strategies of other member states to safeguard their own interests has become the main reason for the existence of the NATO bloc in name only. Although some NATO member states have contradictions with the republic, except for the United States, no NATO member state is threatened by the republic, and there is no need to resist the invasion of the republic. The vast majority of NATO member states do not want a direct confrontation with the Republic, let alone get involved in the confrontation between the United States and the Republic.
It can be seen from this that the NATO bloc is not the basic condition for the "Sino-US Cold War."
Like the United States, the republic has not created a military-political alliance bloc with itself at its core, based on collective security.
Although after the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War, the Republic spent a lot of effort to change the surrounding environment and signed security alliance treaties with Pakistan and other countries, these alliances are basically bilateral treaties, which means that Kistan will not declare war on a certain country for North Korea, and North Korea will not declare war on other countries for Pakistan.
It can be seen from this that the security organization with the republic at its core is not a political-military alliance at all.
Of course, the republic is also working to build a strong military-political alliance bloc.
The war in India was a bold experiment. Not only did the Republic and Pakistan enter the war, but all the countries surrounding India, with the exception of Bhutan, have participated in the war, and all of them have fulfilled their war obligations in accordance with the provisions of collective security. Shortly after the end of the war in India, Wang Yuanqing paid state visits to Nepal, Sikkim, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Burma and Pakistan; The Treaty on the Collective Security Alliance was signed with the leadership of these countries in Islamabad. More importantly, it is an open-ended collective security alliance treaty. Other words. Any country can accede to the Treaty and become a full member of the Treaty as long as all the conditions of the Treaty are met and the signatory countries support it. Subsequently, Gu Weimin paid official visits to the DPRK, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand, and formally extended invitations to these countries. Although these countries did not immediately join the "Collective Security Alliance Treaty Organization," according to outside speculation, as long as the "intensive" mechanism matures and on the basis of signing a bilateral alliance treaty with the Republic, these countries will certainly join the "Collective," and some people believe that within a year, the "Intensive" will absorb many neighboring countries, including Malaysia, Afghanistan, and Mongolia, and become a collective security alliance organization with the Republic as the core.
Like the republics, the United States is trying to create a second "NATO."
Affected by the global Great Depression and geopolitics, the United States has created alliances and "intensive. There is a big difference, as its predecessor was the "North American Free Trade Area" (NAFTA), which consisted of the United States, Canada and Mexico. On this basis, the organization has absorbed the United Kingdom, the Bahamas, Guatemala, Colombia, Peru and other countries, and changed its name to the "Western Hemisphere Integration Treaty Organization" in the following year. "Abbreviated" West Covenant
As with "intensive", "Celestial." From start-up to maturity, it takes enough time.
The London Conference became a symbolic turning point between the "intensive" and "Western" approaching maturity
During his stay in London, Wang Yuanqing met with Pakistan and other member states of the Intensive Organization and the DPRK and other observer states, and proposed at the internal meeting of the Intensive Organization that, in addition to collective security guarantees, the Intensive Organization should carry out more in-depth cooperation on a broader scale, and that the Republic will, as always, support the interests of the member states and associate member states, adhere to the principle of opening the market, and strengthen exchanges with other countries. Most importantly, Wang Yuanqing formally proposed the inclusion of India as an observer state at an internal meeting of the intensive organization. On the issue of "compensation," which several countries are more concerned about, Wang Yuanqing's attitude is very clear: The Republic will not provide compensation for comprehensive nuclear disarmament, because the Republic has already provided security guarantees for the intensive member countries, but the Republic can provide more assistance and support to the intensive member countries and associate member countries in the economic and trade fields, and strengthen the relations between the intensive member countries. Promote intensive exhibitions.
Wang Yuanqing is pulling support, and Blandino is also pulling support.
Intensively actively wooing India. Western Rio is actively courting Brazil. It's just that Blan's "luck" is not as good as Wang Yuanqing's. In any case, Brazil is a regional power, and the number one power in South America. Although Brazil has very close economic and trade ties with the United States and has also turned to the United States on security issues, Brazil is not India, and it is impossible for Brazil to be as eager to join a collective security organization as India is.
In any case, the intensification of the Republic and the Western Covenant with the United States were expanded and enriched during the Synod. More importantly, it is the positive role of the Intensive and Western Treaty that has made the "compensation" proposal a dead letter, thus allowing the comprehensive nuclear disarmament treaty to move forward smoothly.
Although from a practical point of view, Wang Yuanqing and Blanche's use of regional international organizations are all aimed at promoting comprehensive nuclear disarmament. However, from a long-term perspective, the aim of the two men must be to seek more benefits for their countries in the new international order after the entry into force of the comprehensive nuclear disarmament treaty.
In fact, regional international organizations are only one step away from global international organizations.
The day before leaving London, Blandino met with the Philippine President's special envoy, the Philippines, who did not attend the International Conference on Nuclear Disarmament, and gave a clear answer to the question of the Philippines' accession to the Western Treaty, saying that as long as the Philippines meets the main conditions for joining the treaty, the United States will actively support and persuade other countries.
That evening, Wang Yuanqing also met with Argentine President SerΓ³n at the hotel where he was staying.
"I have been working the matter of your country's joining the intensive, and there are several issues that I have to ask for the understanding of His Excellency the President.
Wang Yuanqing's words were very polite, after all, Theron is also the state president. "The main thing is the basic condition for accession. It is not that my country does not consider your country to be eligible to join the treaty, but Your Excellency the President and I have known each other for several years, and I have always regarded your country as a trustworthy ally, and your country has always regarded me as a trustworthy friend. The key question is: In accordance with the basic conditions for accession, your country will be able to join the intensive organization only if there are no territorial and territorial sea disputes. β
After making such a big detour, Wang Yuanqing just wanted to illustrate a problem.
It can be said that this is a very important question. The CSO must first take into account the interests of the member States, and not the interests of the dominant State. From here. No Member State, other than the lead country, was willing to admit a new member who had disputes with other countries. It can be said that the settlement of disputes over territory, territorial waters, and other issues before joining the treaty is the minimum threshold for joining any collective security organization. If nothing else, Georgia failed to join the NATO bloc because of Georgia's territorial problems.
Theron was silent for a while, and said, "I fully understand what Yuan means, but I also hope that Yuan can understand, for us. Joining the intensive group is an important guarantee for national security and national interests
"I can understand it completely, so I'm going to keep trying."
"It's just a political issue in your country
Wang Yuanqing frowned slightly. He said: "Your Excellency is worried that after I leave office, the relationship between my country and your country will change? I can responsibly tell Your Excellency the President that the Chinese nation is a nation that stresses credibility. The Republic is also a nation of credit. Twenty years have passed since Kiyou Guoyuan visited your country. The relationship between my country and your country is getting closer and closer, whether it is me or the leader of any other country. We will strive to develop our bilateral relationship. I can also assure you that the door to intensification will always be open to your country, as long as your country solves a few small problems. Accession negotiations can be launched at any time, and we will certainly actively help your country to join the intensive organization. β
Theron nodded slightly and said, "With Yuan's words, I'm relieved." β
Wang Yuanqing smiled and said nothing, indicating that he understood what Theron meant.
After returning to China, Wang Yuanqing had to prepare for the transfer of power. To be precise, Wang Yuanqing is already making preparations, and after returning to China, he only needs to complete some procedural work, and the republic will usher in a new state president. Theron's concern is completely understandable, after all, the change of the national dollar means that the foreign policy of the republic will be adjusted. More importantly, Theron has every reason to believe that Wang Yuanqing, who has just turned old, will definitely not withdraw from the political arena of the republic, and will exert the necessary influence when necessary, as the outside world speculates. It can even be said that with Wang Yuanqing's physical condition, he will be the most influential politician in the Republic in the next few years.
"Just". Theron sighed and said, "Your Excellency Yuan should also know that the problems that hinder our country's accession to the treaty are difficult to solve. Even if we were determined to settle the dispute, Britain would not negotiate with us
"The solution to the problem is not necessarily just talking
Theron's brow jumped a few times, and he turned his gaze to Wang Yuanqing.
"If I'm not mistaken, twenty years ago, when Ji You Guoyuan visited your country, he said one
"What?" Theron immediately asked.
"Something that was taken away by the colonial powers. It is impossible to negotiate back. β
Theron shuddered slightly, his expression even more shocked.
"Of course, I am not interfering in your internal affairs, and I have never interfered in your internal affairs for so many years." Wang Yuanqing glanced at Theron. "I just hope that Your Excellency the President will give up the illusion that if negotiations can solve the problem, why hasn't it been solved for several years?" The situation is now clear, and Britain has been slow to take a position on the issue of political integration into the European Union. It wants to rely on the United States to protect the interests it has plundered from other countries. β
"Meta means"
"Will the U.S. County support the UK?" Wang Yuanqing smiled coldly and said, "The United States will definitely support Britain, but it will not blatantly support Britain, after all, your country has close relations with many South American countries, and the United States' re-implementation of the "Monroe Doctrine" has made many South American countries more vigilant, if the United States expresses its attitude on the Falklands issue, it is tantamount to turning its face with South American countries, and then Brazil, Venezuela, Chile and other countries will have to consider whether to follow the United States. Obviously, for the United States, the loss of direct support for Britain was too great, and the best way to do that was to support Britain secretly as a neutral, as in the wars of Japan and India before that. β
Theron nodded slightly, indicating that he understood the meaning of Wang Yuanqing's words.
"The key is not whether the US will support the UK, but the attitude of the EU."
"The European Union?"
Wang Yuanqing let out a long breath and said, "Your Excellency will not forget the French military embargo imposed on your country more than 40 years ago, right? β
Theron's brow jumped a few times. His expression suddenly became very excited.
Although many years ago, when the Ma-Ukraine war broke out, Theron was still a pound, only a teenager in his old years, but every Argentine remembers that France's reversal made Argentina suffer a lot. You must know that if France had signed an arms purchase contract with Argentina at that time, it would have won the "Exocet." Anti-ship missiles were sent to Argentina. The outcome of the Falklands War is likely to change, and it will not be Argentina that will lose the war.
"The attitude of the EU is crucial and very complex." Wang Yuanqing rubbed his forehead, the meetings he had held in the past few days had made him tired. "It has to be said that on the question of whether Britain will turn to the European Union, the attitude of France, Germany and Italy is not unified. According to my guess, France wants to win over Britain, after all, Britain is a European power. And with the help of the United Kingdom, France can better bind Germany and Italy within the EU. Germany and Italy, on the other hand, hope to benefit Britain and make Britain taste the pain of leaving Europe, and then win over Britain to split France and Britain and make Germany and Italy the main powers of the European Union. The key is how the EU will respond to the UK's demands. β
"Does Yuan think that now is the best time?"
Wang Yuanqing pondered for a while and said: "I can't say for sure whether it is the best time, but one thing is certain, there are big differences in the direction of the EU in the future. Not to mention anything else, France was very ambivalent about the complete destruction of nuclear weapons, while Germany and Italy actively advocated the complete destruction of nuclear weapons. It can be seen from this that the EU is by no means monolithic, and there are serious differences, even relatively obvious contradictions, on issues related to the interests of various countries. There is no doubt that if the United States is unwilling to formally intervene, Britain will ask the EU for help, and even take the initiative to join the European collective defense system, but France, Germany, Italy, and even all EU member states have different views on whether to send troops, so it is impossible for the EU to act in unison. β
"That said, it's a great opportunity."
Wang Yuanqing smiled and said, "The key is to see if you can grasp this opportunity." β
Theron frowned slightly, revealing an inquiring look.
"Although I don't want to interfere in your internal affairs. But as a friend of your country, I must remind His Excellency the President Wang Yuanqing paused a little and said, "This is indeed an opportunity, but your country must do three things well. The first is to actively and effectively publicize the Falklands to convince the world that the Falklands are part of your territory, and even more so to make the whole world sympathize with your country and think that your country is fighting against a more powerful enemy. The second is to do a good job in domestic mobilization, and only when the army and the people are united can your country have the ability to recover the lost territory. Third, it is necessary to actively mobilize military forces, to fight decisively, and to never give the opponent a chance to counterattack. As long as you do these three things well, your country has a better chance of winning. β
"Yuan is right." Theron hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just, our current strength
"Your Excellency the President can raise any questions you have, as long as it is helpful to your country. I will do my best. Of course, specific questions. It is up to both of us to work together. β
Seeing Wang Yuanqing, he expressed his attitude. Theron no longer had any worries, and said that he would be ready to find it.
Wang Yuanqing answered very patiently, of course, he did not forget the most important thing, that is, to ask Theron to arrange personnel as soon as possible to negotiate with the relevant agencies of the republic. In any case, many detailed problems cannot be solved by Wang Yuanqing alone, and relevant departments and institutions need to participate.
