Chapter 267 Afghanistan quagmire
Seeing the leader lowering his head and continuing to work, Qi ** did not leave, but reported to Geng Biaohui: "Lin Qiangsheng also told me something else, I think it is necessary to mention it to you!"
"What did he say to you?" Geng Biao raised his head and asked Qi **. {Chinese.
"He was talking about the Soviet Union, saying that the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan would not be successful, and it would also cause huge economic difficulties to the country. He also hinted that I would like to seize the opportunity to import a batch of advanced military equipment from Europe and the United States. I think what he meant was that the Soviet Union might fail due to the war, saying that our time was very limited! He also said that the honeymoon period between China and the West was only ten years!" Qi ** said to the leader, with a hint of strangeness on his face.
Geng Biao frowned and said, "Repeat Lin Johnson's original words!"
Qi Jinping nodded and transferred Lin Johnson's words to Chief Geng in its original form.
The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was beyond the expectations of all countries, and the Soviet Union invested huge military force at the beginning of the battle. With the cooperation of the troops airborne in Kabul in advance, the Soviet army suddenly ran through the entire territory of Afghanistan with wide front, large depth, and high-speed combat maneuvers, achieving military occupation of this small Central Asian country. The first phase of the invasion was successful. However, Afghanistan was a small strongman who could not kill him. The occupied cities and important roads made the Soviet army restrained everywhere. This country had a long-standing tribal system. In ancient times, these tribes were robbers who robbed merchants and herdsmen in the mountains of Afghanistan. In modern times, they had more powerful weapons, Kalashnikov automatic rifles!
The continuous attacks of guerrillas caused continuous losses to the Soviet army. The guerrillas attacked small Soviet troops, and the Soviet truck transportation line was in danger. The Soviet Union's investment in war in Afghanistan is getting bigger and bigger, and now it is very trending to let the Soviet army fight a protracted war!
Geng Biao felt that what Lin Johnson said was necessary to tell 286 that the Soviet army's investment increased its impact on the Soviet Union, and if the Soviet Union was weakened, its impact on China.
In the past, the country had considered it from a military perspective, such as which troops could the Soviet Union mobilize and whether it could draw some from the millions of Soviet troops across the Chinese border to reduce the pressure on northern China. However, the country had never considered the impact of the Afghan War on the Soviet Union from an economic perspective.
The sudden disintegration of the Soviet Union. Many Chinese people must have collapsed at that time!
"It is necessary to bring Lin Johnson to discuss with him face to face the economic issues of the Soviet Union. Didn't he know a lot about the economic situation of the United States? He also made a lot of money in the United States! He should be asked to talk about the impact of the Afghan war on the Soviet Union from an economic perspective and whether it can affect our country!" 286 said with a smile after hearing Geng Biao's words.
Lin Johnson was brought to the leader again, and this time there were many people. The two leaders, Chen and Ye, were also waiting for him in the office.
When he saw Lin Johnson, Old Ye, who was sitting on the sofa with his left hand, smiled first: "This is the generous Comrade Kobayashi. I have heard of you. He is very generous! He wants to invest 200 million US dollars to make up all taxi companies across the country!" His words made everyone chuckled.
Lin Qiang-chung smiled awkwardly and said to several leaders: "Yes, I still think so now! If domestic allows it, I really want to spread taxi companies all over China! I don't know which leader stopped me, he made me anxious!"
A hearty laughter immediately sounded in the office, and the leaders laughed happily. Unexpectedly, with such a high status and such a great age, there is still a little guy who teases them like this.
"The person you are talking about is me. I'm afraid you will develop too fast. Haste will not be able to achieve it. You are not willing to save money for you!" Old Chen pointed to his nose, and his words made the leaders present laugh even more.
Lin Qiangsheng quickly said, "No, your stop is right! If you didn't stop me, I might have lost money! If I had driven a taxi company all the time last year, not only would there be so many car drivers in the short term, not so many customers would take taxis, and the cars I bought can only be idle, then I would have lost money. I would really thank you for your timely stopping!"
Mr. Chen smiled and waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. You don't have to thank me. Every foreign businessman who comes to invest in China is in a responsible spirit and will not let you those who develop for the country lose in vain!"
"Comrade Kobayashi, what you said about the Soviet economy will be in trouble because of Afghanistan. Is it true? Where did you come from the speculation?" Old Ye asked Lin Johnson.
Seeing that the topic was right, Lin Johnson said seriously: "As far as I know, the Soviet army is currently unable to cope with the harassment of Afghan guerrillas and is constantly increasing its investment in war. In order to prevent the Soviet Union from expanding its power to South Asia and Southeast Asia, Western countries are secretly supporting the Afghan guerrillas. The United States even sent officers and agents to train Afghan armed forces on a large scale. Not only provide weapons, but also intelligence armed personnel. Moreover, the Soviet Union was condemned by countries around the world due to this invasion, under tremendous diplomatic pressure and is isolated. Due to the invasion of Afghanistan, the Soviet Union and Pakistan were also in serious trouble. The US CIA carried out the cyclone operation in 1979, and through the Pakistani Army Intelligence Bureau as an intermediary, it provided weapons, ammunition and funds to the jihadists, including the famous fim-92
Stinger missiles.? The Intelligence Bureau of the Pakistani Army has trained several (100) thousand jihadists and guerrillas since 1979. We can see that Western countries, Pakistan and Middle Eastern countries have received extensive international support, especially Middle Eastern countries, who only need to put in a little effort and call for a little money to call for a large number of volunteers to fight in Afghanistan, causing the Soviet Union to continue to bleed. These countries gathered together to squeeze the Soviet Union dry up on the land of Afghanistan. As long as the Soviet leader does not change his expansion policy, Afghanistan will become a nightmare for the Soviets! The collapse of the Soviet Union or was greatly weakened is actually extremely unfavorable to our international environment! Only with the Soviet Union, a huge threat, Western countries will establish good relations with our country, and without the Soviet Union, Western countries will immediately continue to block us!"
"Hiss!" Several leaders looked at each other. Regardless of what Lin Johnson said before, he said that China relies on the Soviet Union to develop relations with Western countries such as Europe and the United States. Without the threat of the Soviet Union, the West would not sell China's advanced weapons. This is a very realistic problem.
"So what consequences will this bleeding cause to the Soviet Union? It seems that the Soviet Union cannot hold on, at least they can withdraw their troops!" Mr. Chen asked Lin Johnson.
Will the Soviet Union fight a protracted war with Afghanistan? How many years will this war be fought? If it causes too much trauma to the Soviet Union, it will have any adverse impact on China. For China, which is also supporting Afghanistan in a large amount, it is necessary to clarify this issue since it has been realized!
Lin Johnson felt troublesome when he heard Mr. Chen's question. He now regretted talking about that with Qi Jinping. Lin Johnson said carefully: "If we imagine that the Soviet Union would not give up expansionism easily, it would delay in Afghanistan for a long time. With the current investment of the Soviet Union, we will maintain a 100,000 troops in Afghanistan, plus various materials such as weapons and equipment resources will lose about US$2 billion every year. This does not include the blow to the Soviet economy caused by the Soviet Union's domestic shift toward military projects!"
"If the Soviets insisted on their expansionism and did not withdraw their troops easily! If the war lasted for ten years, it would cause great harm to the Soviet Union! It would be a huge disaster for the various franchised republics that were originally very unwilling to be controlled by Moscow! It is hard to say whether they will still be controlled by the weakened Soviet central government at that time!"
The atmosphere in the office suddenly fell into a dull state. 286 sat on the sofa in the head. He patted the handrail and smiled and said to Lin Johnson: "Comrade Kobayashi, thank you for letting us understand some different situations!"
"Comrade Kobayashi, are these you told us that you analyzed by yourself or some foreign military arguments?" Geng Biao asked Lin Johnson.
Lin Johnson said: "It was my own analysis! The Soviet Union's economic situation was slightly better and stronger than that of our country, but the overall situation was limited. There was also the problem of backward management system for enterprise equipment aging management, and it was urgently necessary to reform the national economy. But the Soviet Union is now trapped in a quagmire of war without seeing victory, which gives the West the possibility of defeating the Soviet Union!"
Geng Biao nodded and said to Lin Johnson with a smile: "Thank you Comrade Kobayashi. I hope you can continue to offer suggestions on the development of the country in the future!"
Lin Qiangsheng saw that the leaders were trying to see off guests, so he stood up with a smile and said, "I understand. I will do my best to develop the country. Then I will go back, the leaders."
Lin Johnson was sent out, and Chen Lao said: "We have ignored the impact of this war on the economic situation of the Soviet Union before! We have never considered whether the Soviet Union had the possibility of falling apart. This young man considered the Soviet Union's ability to bear from an economic perspective. I think this thinking broadened our horizons. We should analyze what would happen if the Soviet Union collapsed and China's response strategies!"
"Does the weapons supply of tens of thousands of saints stop first?" Geng Biao looked at everyone and 286.
In order to cooperate with Pakistan and support Afghanistan in traditional ways of thinking such as curbing Soviet expansionism, China has been supporting military equipment free of charge to the so-called "jihadists". Today, after listening to Lin Johnson's words, if the Soviet Union continues like this, it will have a very adverse impact on China's international environment if this happens!
"Let's investigate first to see if the Soviet Union will really suffer a lot. Our attitude towards Pakistan is not good and will change suddenly. This will cause friendly countries such as Pakistan and the Middle East to have some bad ideas!" 286 said slowly.
