Chapter 669: Alliance

"Although we should do commercial things, we must not interfere in international politics, and in the commercial treaty with Russia, it is okay to make some concessions, and we don't care if we make more or less now.

We are not a listed group and we are not responsible for the interests of our shareholders......"

Andy also understands the situation, and now the Star Group has the support of China, and Chen Guo is a natural ally in the world, and the other is Russia.

Although Russia's economy is not good now, even Dongying, Brazil, India and other countries are ahead of Russia.

But something happened internationally, and it is obvious whether Putin's words are more valued or Ampere's words are more valued.

Russian bombers dared to fly directly to Dokdo to conduct air patrols, and the planes of the Dongying people did not dare to enter Russian airspace without permission, and they did not even dare to test it.

At that time, when the Soviet League had just disintegrated and Russia was in the most difficult time, after talking with Dongying about the issue of Shikoku Island, he wanted to solve the problem of the four northern islands together, and was ready to return the two islands of Hamai and Shikotan to Dongying.

Russia was originally going to return the island to the Dongying people, but the prime minister directly visited the island to inspect, what can the Dongying people do? It was only a strong protest, and then there was nothing more to follow.

At that time, it was the last glorious moment for the people of Dongying, and the GDP at that time was several times that of Russia, so the role of money was actually not as big as imagined.

Although the GDP of a country like Dongying is very high, this is all false, and its real status in the world is just a dog of the United States.

Of course, in this world, there is no shame in being a dog for the United States, but the dogs in the United States are actually divided into three, six, nine and so on, the first class is naturally those members of the Five Eyes Alliance, which is the Anglo-Saxon country dominated by English, and the second class is the European countries dominated by NATO and Israel, which are countries with the same civilization as the United States.

What is Russia's position in the international community? Now it seems to be a broken house, but it is also the direct heir of a powerful country, and it is also an existence that can directly confront the United States, the master of the Dongying people, and can talk to each other on an equal footing.

To put it bluntly, no matter how bad the Russian economy is at the Quadripartite Talks, it is also a chess player, and what a mere Dongying person is, is just a chess piece between the three big countries!

Andy actually understands very well, but sometimes he may unconsciously put himself in a very high position, because there are too many people who flatter now, so many business tycoons and celebrities have to bow their heads in front of her, so that she ignores certain problems.

Yang Yi now does not interfere in most of the company's affairs, but focuses on scientific research; However, after the group's various business divisions are now operating independently, there are not many practical problems.

Yang Yi can now turn his attention to the world situation and measure how the Star Group balances its commercial interests in today's world situation.

The ties between Europe and the United States are actually closer than they seem, although there are also confrontations in the ties; But it's really a question of dominance.

For example, the "Five Eyes Alliance" with the United States as the current one, which is an organization that signed a number of secret agreements between Britain and the United States during World War II and shared intelligence among many countries; The agency was originally joined by the British and later by the intelligence agencies of Australia, Canada, India and other countries in the British Commonwealth. Its English name is Fiveeyes, abbreviated as FVey.

Originally designed primarily to share signals intelligence among member states, this agency was a major communication tool for the Commonwealth, and was used primarily in the late stages of World War II to counter Chen's sudden rise in Oceania.

Later, after the United States joined, this institution has now become a tool for the United States to carry out military and political activities abroad.

Sources of the "Five Eyes" Alliance At the beginning of World War II, communications intelligence cooperation was almost non-existent among the Allied forces.

In an effort to change this situation, Commonwealth member states reached an agreement in the middle of World War II to consider formalizing an intelligence partnership.

After the "Pearl Harbor incident," the most urgent problem that the United States wanted to solve was to crack the communication code of the Dongying Navy.

To this end, the U.S. Military Intelligence Agency sent personnel to Britain in the middle and late stages of World War II to learn the experience and technology of cracking German "level" codes.

A month later, the two sides signed an agreement to establish an intelligence-sharing and personnel exchange mechanism to jointly respond to the threat from the Toying and German navies, and the United States officially joined the organization.

After the war, Britain and the United States decided to continue their cooperation; At the end of World War II, in order to jointly confront the Warsaw Pact organization with the Soviet Union as the leader and to embezzle the colonial interests of the British Commonwealth, the United States and many member states of the British Commonwealth signed the "Defense Agreement," which determined to jointly collect and share the communications and intelligence of the Soviet Union and other "Warsaw Pact" countries, thus opening the road of "pitting allies."

Following the example of the United Nations, this organization has also identified five countries as the leading big brothers, namely Australia, Canada, India, the United Kingdom, and the United States, so it is also known as the "Five Eyes Alliance", and the rest of the small countries only serve to provide services.

Everything is on track in the alliance; The information is also marked with a classification of secrecy, and the reading privileges of the member countries are also indicated.

For example, a piece of information that can only be read by Australian intelligence agencies will be stamped with a red stamp of "Top Secret - Australian Eyes Only", while a piece of information that can be read by all five countries will be marked with the words "Secret - Australian, Canadian, Indian, British, and American eyes".

Here, "eyes" is synonymous with the country, and intelligence officers from the five countries began to use the concise name "five eyes" in private exchanges, rather than the long and awkward "Australia, Canada, India, Britain and the United States".

Because of the intelligence cooperation, the alliance was not made public, and it was not until the middle of the Cold War that Australia's Prime Minister Gove Whitlam learned that the country was a member of the alliance.

It was not long ago that the British government published the full text of the agreement, officially recognizing this intelligence cooperation alliance for the first time.

The Five Eyes Alliance, which builds arms trade barriers, is highly exclusive, even in Germany, Israel, Turkey, etc.

The first to complain about the purchase of military products by the "Five Eyes" alliance members was Israel Aerospace Industries.

Last year, the members of the "Five Eyes" alliance unanimously decided that Britain should "buy without competition" Boeing's E-737 "Wedgetail" AWACS aircraft and abandon the products of Israeli companies and Sweden's Saab.

A senior Israeli government official was very unhappy about this: "It is a big mistake for Britain to decide to buy American products without real competition; Our products are the best value for money and have been battle-tested, so there's no reason to be excluded from the competition! ”

Israel's Haaretz commented that the "Five Eyes" alliance is now a closed small group, erecting various barriers around its member states to prevent them from buying military products from other countries.

"Now, when we sell to these countries, it's like facing a wall, and it's very difficult to break through."

Israel Aerospace Industries' failure to successfully market its products to the UK due to interference from the Five Eyes alliance is not an isolated incident.

A few years ago, when the Indians bought Russian aircraft carriers, they were also affected by the "Five Eyes" alliance.

It's just that, in the end, it was the Russians who cheated the Indians; This does not mean that other countries will not be pitted, because the United States and Britain do not want the Indians to increase their military strength, and if the Indian Navy increases its strength, then the corresponding Chinese Indian Ocean Fleet will definitely have to express it, and this is not in the interests of the United States and Britain.

The United States is most afraid of China's power expansion, after all, it has finally occupied the British colonies of the year, supported independence one by one, separated from the jurisdiction of the British Commonwealth, and then carried out commercial aggression.

Now the main arena of competition is the Indian Ocean region, which has the most prosperous shipping routes in the world with oil, which is indispensable for modern industry, so that after the United States dominated the alliance, even the military power of each country began to be controlled.

Vincent Stuart, former director of the US Defense Intelligence Agency, has said that the behavior of this intelligence alliance, which is a legacy of the 20th century, has become closer and closer in recent years to an "exclusive arms sales alliance."

The U.S. government has introduced a policy that restricts other countries from selling defense products to regular customers who regularly buy U.S. arms; This policy has been echoed and supported within the Five Eyes Alliance, which is tantamount to helping the United States erect barriers to the arms trade while promoting American products.

Because it is an intelligence organization, it is natural that rumors will be spread, this trick is very similar to the "White Helmets organization", in addition to the eavesdropping, in the "Five Eyes" intelligence alliance's espionage operations, it also includes a mission called "cyber magician" to stigmatize and wantonly smear opponents.

It is reported that the intelligence alliance of these five countries has achieved their desired results by spreading false information on the Internet and using sociological principles to manipulate online speech.

Specifically, a spy may impersonate a netizen and post a fake journal on his blog or post negative news about a company in order to disrupt a business deal.

The ultimate goal is to "use network means to have an impact on the online world or the real world".

The organization is also very efficient, with a division of labor and cooperation that covers the whole world, and each member of the alliance divides the work on a specific part of the world.

Britain monitors Europe, western Russia, the Middle East; At the same time, the United States is also spying on the Middle East, plus China, Russia, Africa and the Caribbean.

Australia is responsible for Oceania and the South Pacific; Canada spies on parts of the Far East, including Russia and China; India is South Asia and Southeast Asia.

Despite this division of labor, mutual cooperation is the core, and the final information is shared with each member, and mutual help is an important component of this organization. However, since the United States became a powerful country, the nature of this organization has actually become that of serving the United States.

The U.S. role in this is extraordinary, in fact, it is in a dominant position, although expertise and geography play an important role in the division of labor and coordination of the Five Eyes.

Each Member State collects intelligence on a particular geographical area according to its own national priorities, but its collection and analysis is carried out as a whole.

For example, an analyst in Australia may have better cultural and linguistic insight into communications gathered from Asia, so even though the United States is better able to collect this information in terms of location, Australia is a better choice for analyzing information.

Not long ago, after the KGB of Russia turned against the intelligence agents of this organization, it broke the news that Australia's intelligence agencies were monitoring as many as about 2o countries and regions, including China, Russia, Dongying, etc., as well as Saudi Arabia and other countries that have close ties with the United States, and shared the information collected with the intelligence agencies of the US National Security Agency, India, Britain, and Canada.

The alliance of these five countries is like an iron axis, but it does not exclude conditional and hierarchical foreign cooperation.

The Five Eyes member states and friendly governments include, but are not limited to, NATO members, to establish bilateral relationships, with both sides providing technical support to better collect and share signals intelligence and ultimately product intelligence reports.

Known third-party alliances include the intelligence-sharing network Nineeyes, which includes Denmark, France, Norway and the Netherlands.

There are also the "Fourteeneyes", or sseuR (sIgInTseniorseurope), which is the exchange of military signals with the "Nine Eyes" and Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Sweden.

Singapore is also a partner of the Five Eyes alliance in Asia, assisting the United States and Australia in laying submarine communications cables in Asia, according to a classified document released by the KGB.

Australia's electronic espionage agency, the Defence Signals Agency (DSD), has partnered with Singapore's intelligence agencies to tap the SEA-ME-E-3 cable.

The cable, which starts in Dongying and leads to northern Germany via Singapore, Djibouti, Suez in Egypt and the Strait of Gibraltar, is an extremely important international telecommunications corridor and is being laid with the assistance of Singapore's state-owned operator SingTel (singTe1).

In addition to Singapore, Dongying has become another important information interception base of the Five Eyes Alliance in Asia.

By laying submarine cables in the waters near Tokyo, the "Five Eyes" spy alliance can obtain external communications from China, the Russian Far East, and Alaska.

Since the KGB agent released the details of this organization, the organization has now become semi-public, and the latest developments, the Joint Communiqué of the Alliance's Ministerial Meeting, have been publicly announced: As Secretaries of the Interior, Immigration and Attorney General of Australia, Canada, India, the United Kingdom, and the United States, we are meeting in Ottawa, Canada, Canada, to discuss the current security challenges facing countries and how to actively cooperate in this area.

As a coalition organization established in the aftermath of the Second World War, inter-coalition partnerships are now showing greater importance than ever before.

That's because we need to address the continuing threats of terrorism, violent extremism, cyberattacks, and international instability, while also safeguarding our deep commitment to shared values such as democracy, human rights, and the rule of law.

Of course, this is just a cover-up, a preach under pressure from allies, and in fact this alliance is now widely involved in military hegemony, trade wars, and geopolitical contests, and is one of the important tools of US hegemony.
