It was time for the Soviet Union to play the Chinese card from the United States?

Frankly speaking, since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States in 1978, China and the United States have indeed made the Soviet Union very uncomfortable. This kind of discomfort is personal experience. So when Primakov proposed that the Soviet Union could also play the card of China, it made the Soviet Union, including Boris Panjin, director of the General Office of the General S Record, General Sha Boshnikov, Chief of Staff General Shabachev, and Gobachev, feel the eyes lit up: Playing the card of China will allow the Americans to taste the taste of the Soviet Union in recent years? It seems...

Very good looking.

Boris Pankin, who has been paying close attention to his boss, saw Gobachev's somewhat moved look, immediately asked Foreign Minister Primakov: "Comrade Primakov, can you explain this in depth?"

"certainly!"

For Primakov, his suggestions were valued and paid attention to Comrade Gobachev, which is of course a good thing to say. He immediately cheered up his spirits, nodded to Gobachev before speaking: "Dear Comrade Gobachev, comrades, if we carefully analyze a series of dialogue policies of the United States in the past four years, we will notice a fact, that is, as our Soviet Union gradually gained a disadvantage in the confrontation with the United States, the United States gradually gained an advantage, and the United States' policy toward China is actually constantly adjusting, and this adjustment is tightening.

In the two years when China and the United States established diplomatic relations, China could obtain the civilian version of the UH-60 Black Hawk general helicopter from the United States. It is a general-purpose helicopter that is better than our Mi-8 helicopter; it can obtain the retired ch-54 Tah heavy helicopter from the US military; the Americans even wanted to sell the F-14 Tomcat heavy fighter and F-16 fighter to China, but it was just because the Chinese had no money.

Moreover, their cooperation is not only that. For example, the Americans sold the full set of technologies of the most advanced 1553b airborne data bus to the Chinese. With the 1553b data bus technology and the latest Doppler radar, the Chinese fighter jets have improved their combat effectiveness very significantly...

But let’s look at the more than a year from last year to now, the interaction between China and the United States on the military level has become much colder. On the contrary, some American foundations and charitable organizations have significantly increased their activities in China. Comrades, we all know what these so-called foundations and charitable organizations are.

A group of Soviet senior officials, including Gobachev, nodded in unison: Indeed, they knew very well what the so-called foundations and charitable organizations in the United States were.

"What we need to see is that the United States' activities in the southeast of China have also become much more frequent. Obviously, the Americans are preparing to play 4V cards again...

All of this proves one thing: in terms of policy towards China, the US government has changed from fully supporting China before, hoping to check and balance our Soviet Union through China to limiting China's development.

And what we need to do is very simple. To sum up, it is: what Americans don’t want to see, we just need to do. For example, if Americans don’t want to see a powerful military China, then we will find ways to help China strengthen their military strength…”

Before Foreign Minister Primakov could finish his words, General Shaposhnikov couldn't help but smile: As a famous pro-China faction within the Soviet senior management, this is the situation he hopes to see.

………………………………………

Of course, it was difficult to reach a consensus at a meeting, but Foreign Minister Primakov's words still won the approval and support of many "centrics": If we can give Americans some stumbling blocks by winning over China, let the damn Americans taste the embarrassment of the Soviet Union in the past few years, and give some support to China... it seems that it is not impossible to consider?

Although there has not been a general consensus yet, for General Shaboshnikov, Chief of Staff, this is a situation he is very happy to see.

General Shaposhnikov was in a good mood just after he returned home, the guards sent him the latest news from the negotiation team: the Chinese hoped to buy the Soviet Union's most advanced fighter, Su-27.

"How did the Chinese know about Su-27?" General Shaboshnikov frowned, a little strange, and a little unhappy:

Sukhoi's Su-27 is the most advanced in the Soviet Union and the most advanced twin-engine heavy fighter in the world today. It is also one of the highest-level military secrets of the Soviet Union. How did the Chinese know about it?

"General, the news from the negotiation team reported that the Chinese knew about Su-27's existence was because they received news from the European media on the 'scalpel over the Barents Sea'." The guard replied seriously.

General Shaboshnikov became more and more unhappy: "What does Comrade Nikolaevich do for? Can't he say to the comrades in China that 'the scalpel over the Barents Sea' is MiG-29?"

"Comrade Nikolayev also explained this to the comrades in China," the guard explained: "But the comrades in China took out the photos of the No. 36 aircraft taken by NATO and the photos of the MiG-29. Through some details, it confirmed that the "scalpel" is a brand new twin-engine heavy fighter, not the MiG-29," he said.

After explaining, the guard asked for instructions: "The comrades from the negotiation team asked you: Now the comrades in China insist on buying this latest fighter instead of the MiG-29. How should they answer the requests of the comrades in China?"

In theory, negotiations are a matter of the diplomatic system and it is difficult for the military to participate. But since it involves arms sales, that is another matter. The military always has a say in foreign arms sales.

General Shaboshnikov rubbed his temples and couldn't help but mutter: "Why don't they want MiG-29?"

As the latest air combat platform of the Soviet Union with the most powerful overall combat capability, let alone the Soviet Union's own allies, even if the Soviet Union itself does not have many Su-27s, it is certainly impossible to sell it to China. However, a China, which is too weak in the field of military equipment, is not in line with the interests of the Soviet Union.

Alas...what Su-27, MiG-29 isn't it good?

However, although General Shaboshnikov was a little depressed about the choice of Su-27 over MiG-29 in China, he was actually more happy. As a well-known pro-China faction within the top leaders of the Soviet government, General Shaboshnikov knew very well how big the gap between MiG-29 and Su-27 was. If China chose Su-27, how much improvement would it bring to the overall strength of their air force. Thinking of this, General Shaboshnikov's mouth slightly raised: "The comrades in China made the right choice."

“…”

The guard looked at his nose and his nose, and he didn't say a word: It has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with me.

After saying this, General Shaposhnikov, who had made up his mind, strode to the phone to pick up the phone: "Help me answer Comrade Yefimov."

After a while, General Shaboshnikov spoke again: "Comrade Yefimov, I am Shaboshnikov... It's like this. The negotiation team just sent me the latest consultation results and said that our Chinese friends hope to buy our latest Su-27 fighter jet... No, no, no leaks. The Chinese people concluded through reports from Europe and some other information channels that the "scalpel" is a twin-engine heavy fighter jet rather than a MiG-29... Yes yes... My idea is, can I show my young Chinese friends Su-27?"

Alexander Nikolayevich Yefimov, the current commander-in-chief of the Soviet Air Force and deputy minister of the Ministry of Defense, General Shaboshnikov is very clear that his ideas must be supported by Comrade Yefimov before they can be implemented.

After hanging up the phone, General Shaposhnikov breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Geng didn't know that the Soviet Union had quietly opened the door to purchase Su-27 fighter jets for China. He was judging the information about this major stock market crash to the greatest extent: Although he was generally clear about the situation of the major stock market crash in 1987, he could not guarantee whether his appearance affected the historical process. On the safe side, it would be impossible to do more homework.

In this case, he found all relevant information about this bull market in the United States, which specifically started in 1982.

To be precise, driven by a series of positive news, including rapid economic growth, increased corporate profits, increased demand for new institutional investors, and a package of tax relief measures promoted by the Reagan administration, the U.S. stock market began this super bull market that had lasted for six years since August 1982.

However, since the second half of last year, some unsettling signals have appeared in the U.S. stock market. For example, from September 11 to 12 last year, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by as much as 120.78 points, and the single-day decline on September 11 hit the largest drop since May 28, 1962.

That's not all. Just between 1:30 and 3:00 p.m. on January 23, the Dow Jones Industrial Average first plummeted 115 points and then rose 60 points. For a mature and stable stock market, it is obviously very wrong to have such a big rise and fall in just two hours.

But what is even more wrong is that economist Hiller conducted a questionnaire survey on this sudden decline and rise in the stock market that day, but the survey results showed that people talked about the most at that time, not the words such as "fear", "fall", and "stock market crash". People used the most "computer program trading", "profit", and "crazy".

Looking at these articles, Kelly Hicks, who assisted Chen Geng in searching information, had his eyes straightened...
