Volume 10 Dragon Soaring Nine Days Chapter 4 Killing in the Invisible
After Jin Pei Chengyi finished speaking, Dongfang Wen immediately laughed. Pei Chengyi frowned and picked up the cigarette on the table.
"General, everything you want is in the computer, Dongfang Wen picked up the cigarette handed by Pei Chengyi, and activated the handheld computer on the table.
"Require your military ID number and put your thumb inside the fingerprint scanning area. The level of confidentiality of this information is beyond my access clearance. You take your time, and call me again if you have something. ”
Pei Chengyi nodded, and after Dongfang Wen left, he entered the military ID number and put the thumb of his right hand on it.
The computer didn't react, and Pei Chengyi frowned slightly. When he was about to call Dongfang Wen, he saw a tiny nasal display pinned to the back of the computer and earbuds the size of peas.
It's a high-tech thing again.
Putting on the monitor and earbuds, Pei Chengyi pressed the play switch that appeared on the screen.
This is not an ordinary monitor, but a three-dimensional monitor, and what Pei Chengyi sees is a female narrator synthesized by a computer, if she does a little better, she can completely confuse the real with the fake. Unfortunately, the headphones are not very effective. Not only is it not stereo, but it is also a bit noisy.
Probably the interference clutter generated by other equipment in the aircraft.
Pei Chengyi didn't care so much, since it was an image and sound file, it didn't have to be as laborious as looking at the sharp pieces of text.
Unlike the previous documents, which introduced military reform and defense construction, this one mainly introduces the current international situation and the response measures of the republic. Because there are a lot of basic national strategies involved. So the document does not belong to the General Staff. Rather, it was concocted by the Military Intelligence Agency.
Generally speaking, the basic strategy of the republic in recent years has been to prepare for large-scale war.
This is not to say that Wang Yuanqing intended to fight an all-out war with India from the very beginning. Everyone knows that India is the most populous country in the world; The Republic could not deal with India what it did with Japan. More importantly, India's neighboring countries have close ties with the republic, and the republic must be considered for the allies. Judging by the national exhibition, it would not be of much benefit to the republic to knock India back into the Stone Age.
When talking to Wang Yuanqing alone, Pei Chengyi learned that Yuan had always wanted to "act." India.
Long before the Japanese War, Wang Yuanqing, who was still the vice minister of the country, attached great importance to the Indian issue. The relationship between the Republic and India was able to make great strides before the conflict in southern Tibet, and Wang Yuanqing had a great deal to laugh at. At that time, Zhao Rundong didn't care much about foreign affairs, and basically handed it over to Wang Yuanqing. By strengthening economic, trade, cultural and educational exchanges, the Republic has become India's largest trading partner, and India has also become the Republic's largest overseas market and producer of low-end industrial products. The cooperation has brought great benefits to both countries, with the people of the Republic being able to buy cheap Indian goods, and the Indians being able to gain jobs and a higher quality of life through trade.
According to Wang Yuanqing's original idea, if India can be stabilized, the best result is to win over India through economic cooperation.
There is no doubt that the world's most populous country and the world's most populous exhibition country will definitely be able to create the greatest economic miracle in human history as long as they go hand in hand.
The question is, can the Republic and India coexist peacefully and go hand in hand?
From another perspective, even if there is no conflict in southern Tibet and there is no real contradiction between China and India, it is impossible for the two world's most populous countries to come together.
In the final analysis, Wang Yuanqing promoted economic and trade exchanges between the Republic and India for the sake of the Republic, not India.
Affected by the aging population, the Republic needs not only India's huge market, but also India's abundant labor force. Without the Indian market, the republic's exports of high-end products will be reduced. As a result, tens of millions of workers and nearly 100 million related laborers lost their jobs. Without the cheap products offered by India, the daily consumption expenditure of the citizens of the republic would grow at the near end, leading to a rise in inflation by at least 4 percentage points.
In other words, what Wang Yuanqing wants is not an India that has reached, but an India that is always in the "middle of development".
This appeal is contrary to India's national interests.
Rurajapani is close to the republic, and instead of letting India forever be the "downstream producer" and "downstream market country" of the republic, it hopes to use the republic's market to complete the country's original capital accumulation and lay the foundation for India's industrial restructuring.
It has to be admitted that Rurajapani has fully absorbed the experience of the Republic.
The problem is that India is in a very different situation than the Republic.
When Ji Yiguo carried out the adjustment of the industrial structure, the republic basically had no external troubles, and even if there were contradictions with neighboring countries, they were not insoluble contradictions. More importantly, the Republic has mastered several cutting-edge technologies that can determine the fate of the country. It also started the "electric power revolution", which opened the prelude to the adjustment of industrial structure. Without such basic conditions, it is impossible for India to enter the ranks of countries in the manner of a republic. It can even be said unceremoniously. If India is unable to make breakthroughs in key technologies that have a decisive impact on production efficiency, even if there is no threat from the Republic and even if it receives full assistance from the United States, it will not be able to complete the adjustment of its industrial structure. History is enough to prove it. Any country with a vast territory and a large population relies on its own technological accumulation. Rather than relying on the assistance of other countries to enter the ranks of the countries.
Learning also depends on the facts, blind modeling
This is also the fundamental reason why the leaders of the Republic such as Ji Youguo insisted on the independence exhibition. The reform and opening up of the Republic in the year of the sword proved that the Western countries will not help the Republic to enter the ranks of the countries. This price is not small, and Rurajapani did not notice the detours taken by the republic when he studied the republic.
The countries of the West cannot save India, and the Republic is even less likely to save India.
As long as the issue of the "aging of the population" of the republic is not resolved, India will not be allowed to become a leading country.
The reality is very cruel, and it cannot be said that Wang Yuanqing did something wrong because of this.
As the head of state of the republic, Wang Yuanqing will only consider, and only needs to consider, the national interests of the republic. If Wang Yuanqing disregards the national interests of the republic, but generously helps India. He is not a good state head, or even a traitor to the republic!
The fundamental contradiction determines the basic relationship between the republic and India.
If India wants to be strong, it must go beyond the republic. If the republic wants to show, it must suppress India.
For a country with an old population of 100 million and another country with a population of 100 million, this contradiction is irreconcilable.
The "joint exhibition" has become a mirage, and confrontation will be inevitable.
With Wang Yuanqing's character, he will definitely attack actively.
After the end of the conflict in southern Tibet, Wang Yuanqing first made a fuss about the "cease-fire agreement" and took the initiative to propose to India to formally determine the border between the two countries. For this. Wang Yuanqing also made a major "concession" that the Republic, India, Bhutan, and Myanmar would send surveyors to conduct a comprehensive survey of the disputed border area, and then invite other observer states. The official border between the four countries was determined through negotiations.
There is no doubt that Rurajapani will not accept Wang's proposal.
After being rejected by India, Wang Yuanqing immediately made a ruthless move, formally approving the plan for the construction of a military base submitted by the Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff at the end of the year, and in addition to the Shannan municipality established in July of that year, the republic began to comprehensively strengthen the military construction of the southern Tibetan region, making it clear that it would turn this area south of the Himalayas into a bridgehead for the Republic to advance into South Asia and exert military pressure on India.
Rurajapani responded more aggressively, immediately building up its military presence in eastern India. India's parliament approved the prime minister's plan to build a military base in the year of hoarding, which is much larger than the republic's plan. According to Rurajapani's plan, India will build a "network of military fortresses" in the eastern region with dozens of military camps and dozens of large military bases, and will strive to turn the eastern region into a "steel fortress" against the republic within a few years.
The overhaul of the military base opened the prelude to an all-out confrontation between China and India.
At the beginning of the year, at the behest of the Republic, the President of Pakistan proposed at the "China-South Asian Economic Community Brain Meeting" to revoke India's observer status and completely terminate the preferential trade policies against India. Although the proposal was not formally adopted until the strong year due to opposition from Nepal and Bangladesh, India's expulsion from the Economic Community has dealt a major blow to its economic and trade ties with neighboring countries in South Asia and the Republic.
Wang Yuanqing did not give up.
In June of the oral year, he attended the "Brain Conference on Inclusive Nuclear Disarmament." Wang Yuanqing offered to reduce the republic's nuclear arsenal by half, on the condition that the four nuclear powers, including the United States, Russia, France, and the United Kingdom, also reduce the size of their nuclear arsenals by half, and that the nuclear powers, including India, Pakistan, and Israel, must reduce their nuclear arsenals by 30 percent, and at the same time adopt a "timetable for the complete elimination of nuclear weapons" submitted by the republic.
The general content of the "timetable" is that, in addition to reducing nuclear weapons as promised by the year of concave medicine, the second phase of reduction will be completed between the years, with the Republic, the United States and Russia each retaining young nuclear warheads, the United Kingdom and France each retaining oral and concave nuclear warheads, India retaining four nuclear warheads, and Israel retaining nuclear warheads; Complete the third and final phase of reductions by the end of the year, and the total elimination of nuclear weapons by the nuclear states; Dismantle all facilities related to the production and storage of nuclear weapons, except laboratories, including uranium enrichment plants, heavy water reactors, nuclear weapons warehouses, nuclear test sites, etc., by the end of the year; In the island group, we will conduct comprehensive inspections of the nuclear facilities of various countries, and decorate the "non-nuclear flag" on a global scale.
The plans are grand and idealistic.
The key is not how many nuclear weapons countries are going to destroy. For several nuclear powers, because they have mastered advanced missile penetration technology, even if the size of their nuclear arsenals is reduced by 70%, it can pose enough threats to other countries. The missile defense system of the Republic and the United States will be able to reach full combat capability only after 10,000 years at the earliest, and before that. The nuclear Powers are not very affected by nuclear disarmament.
For a few nuclear powers, even if they do not reduce the number of nuclear weapons, they will not be able to compete with the nuclear powers, and it will be even more difficult to pose a real threat to the Republic and the United States.
Everyone knows and believes that sooner or later, nuclear weapons will be obsolete by history like spears, bows and arrows.
The key problem is that the "timetable" is drawn up in accordance with the wishes of the republic, and it is unacceptable to the nuclear powers such as the United States, even if they do not take into account the factors behind it.
Wang Yuanqing proposed a "timetable" to achieve the goal of killing three birds with one stone. First, the United States must make it clear that it cannot always be secretive on the issue of nuclear disarmament and give an explanation to the world today. Second, it has enhanced the international prestige of the Republic. The murderers believe that the Republic is striving to build a nuclear-free world; The third is to comprehensively suppress India, which has the largest number of nuclear weapons except for a nuclear power.
As long as the last goal is achieved, Wang Yuanqing will not work in vain.
After Wang Yuanqing proposed the "timetable" at the conference, Pakistan did not react most positively. It's France. According to the President of France. The size of India's nuclear arsenal is beyond that of Britain and France, and if Britain and France are asked to reduce the size of their nuclear arsenals in general, India will also cut it by half, not by 30%. Subsequently, the Israeli prime minister proposed that Israel's nuclear weapons can only barely maintain national security, and if Israel is required to destroy 30% of its nuclear weapons, Pakistan, as the only nuclear power in the Islamic world, will have to destroy all nuclear weapons.
Talking back and forth, the spearhead was aimed at the ear.
Rurajapani did not make any commitments at the conference, and in his view, nuclear weapons are a "lifeline" for India, and if he pledges to reduce nuclear weapons, it will have serious implications for India's national security.
The conference failed to produce substantive results, not even a single commitment.
Wang Yuanqing also knows that if the United States refuses to let go, the reduction of nuclear weapons is just a fog
flower
What can really suppress India is economic means.
In the first year, after the official expulsion of India from the "China-South Asian Economic Community", the Republic immediately announced the imposition of tariffs on a variety of Indian goods that had been reduced or exempted from tariffs, and then the General Assembly of the Republic passed a bill to impose punitive tariffs on a variety of Indian goods.
Without waiting for the outside world to come to its senses, the Republic formally appealed to the WTO, demanding that the United States and India immediately cancel the unreasonable financial subsidies provided to thousands of goods, and threatening to impose punitive tariffs on goods and companies that have received financial subsidies from the United States and India at an appropriate time.
A series of measures by the republic means that a new round of trade war has begun.
Wang Yuanqing's move was not only aimed at India and the United States, but also at Japan, which is "thriving." In the list of commodities submitted by the Republic to the WTO, the canine part is the reconstruction material that Japan needs. In order to support Japan, the U.S. government has been providing financial subsidies for these goods. Similarly, in order to obtain U.S. technical assistance through trade. India is also providing financial subsidies for goods exported to Japan.
Clearly, the WTO cannot resolve disputes between countries.
In June 2, the Republic officially began imposing punitive tariffs on goods from the United States and India.
By the end of that year, the United States and India had passed trade bills against the republic, and began to retaliate in an all-out manner against the republic's trade sanctions.
For the world economy, which is still recovering from the Great Depression, this trade war is undoubtedly a bombshell.
Although the "warring parties" did not expand "the range of strikes." "The finger is not pointed at other countries. But as the scope of trade sanctions expands, sooner or later they will have an impact on the global economy. More importantly, the Republic of China is the world's largest economic country, the United States is the most powerful traditional country, India is the largest developing country, and the three most influential countries are fighting a trade war. For example, among the many republican commodities that have been persuaded by the United States to "counter-sanction" by the United States, at least other countries need to provide raw materials, spare parts, technical support and after-sales service, and sanctioning the republic's commodities is equivalent to sanctioning all countries that have close economic and trade ties with the republic. The reverse is also true, the Republic sanctions the United States are equivalent to sanctions against Western countries with close ties to the United States.
Compare to the trade war during the Great Depression. There is a big difference in this trade war.
In addition to the fact that both parties have a clear purpose. The biggest difference is that during the Great Depression, neither the republic nor the United States had a self-centered regional economic community, while both the republic and the United States had regional economic communities covering multiple countries, or even multiple economic communities. Trade sanctions can have an impact, but they can stimulate the spread of the economic community and enhance the status and importance of the economic community.
It can be seen that the biggest victim of the trade war is not the Republic or the United States, but India.
The reason is simple, India is not the economic center of South Asia, nor has it become the core of the economic community.
Wang Yuanqing fought a trade war at this time. It is clear that it is hitting the Indian economy.
It can be said that India is "buying. The U.S. aircraft carrier battle group resolutely refused to budge, which had a lot to do with India's economy starting to decline. If India remains as "deep-pocketed" as it was before the conflict in southern Tibet. "Don't talk about taking four dollars. Even if you exchange 100 million dollars for 3 ready-made aircraft carrier battle groups, you will not blink an eye.
To strike at India's economy is to strike at India's war potential and weaken India's military strength.
Wang Yuanqing's purpose is very clear, and his means are also very clever.
Small-scale conflicts are fought for technical equipment and military strength, while large-scale wars are fought for the country's overall strength, especially economic strength.
Having lost the "economic war", is it still possible for India to win the final victory?
