Chapter 906 China Strategy
President Bush wants to use Christ to achieve his goal. Why doesn’t Christ, who has just become the owner of Bairdrow’s farm, want to use Bush’s political influence to seek benefits for himself? You should know that after Flynn’s “Information Gate”, the industry under the name of the Flynn family has suffered heavy losses. With its existing strength alone, at best, it can only have a small amount of voice in the interest groups. For the ambitious Christ, it is better to kill him.
To return to the core of power and reach the peak of the heroes again, Christ's path is not easy to walk, not to mention that he is a military man, he does not have the deep connections of his father in both political and business circles. Although President Bush is a puppet person elected by an interest group, he is much better than him, a fledgling boy, in terms of family and personal experience. If he can get help from Bush and his smart mind, it is not impossible to shine Flynn's name in the United States again...
"Thank you for your compliments, Mr. President, but as I said before, it is better to put your hope on George. You must know that the deadlock in the Gulf has squandered all your political capital, coupled with the decline in revenue capacity of the arms group and the oil and financial consortiums cannot recover their costs in the short term. The economic situation in the next year will inevitably be bad, so.........."
Christ stopped at the right time, but President Bush frowned and fell into a long silence. He actually understood what Christ meant. In fact, no one else needed to say it. Bush knew that his winning rate for the next US presidential election was not high. Since even he could see,
The bigwigs of interest groups that are more sensible than dog noses have naturally seen it thoroughly. Even if they still support him due to their affection during the campaign, the strength of them can be imagined. They will never give up everything as they did three years ago. Because of this, President Bush is also planning his own retreat.
His eldest son George Bush is the most important part of the retreat he reserved. It is just that reason has made him have already made up his mind, but it is still hard to accept emotionally. After all, the position of the US president is really attractive. If it is possible, he even wants to do it for the rest of his life, and a mere term will really make him feel unwilling.
Christ understood Bush's emotions very well. After he returned to the United States from the Bay, he talked with Bush about this issue all night, so he knew that Bush's talent was a bit mediocre, but he was a person who could take it and let it go. So Christ was like that night.
Seeing Bush remained silent, he did not rush to urge him, but waited quietly, because he believed that a mature politician would never be influenced by unrealistic feelings. Sure enough, after nearly five minutes of waiting, President Bush's sigh came from Christ's earpiece:
"Oh... it seems that I can only do this, not to mention that it will take some time for you. Since that's the case, I will retreat first, retract my fist, and then exert the force to make it more......"
"Yes, Mr. President, I will support George here. I can first let him run for the governor of a certain state to try the waters so that he can accumulate enough political experience. While we help him consolidate his position, we can also seize the time to strengthen our own strength. In this case, George's White House will be extremely smooth."
"Well...yes!" President Bush nodded with satisfaction on the other end of the phone: "I will personally arrange it over George to let him join politics as soon as possible. Oh, by the way, has the other party responded to the matter you said before?"
"They are very excited about restoring the normalization of the two countries. After all, China is now in a reform!!! Ah!! The critical period of reform and opening up, the internal market has not been fully integrated, and foreign investment and a broad overseas market are needed to support it. It is impossible to break away from the trade system dominated by us. Of course, they are still very sensitive to T-region issues, so you need to find a suitable time to reiterate the communiqués that they regard as treasures..."
Christ held the phone and eloquently described the things he had been busy with these two days. It turned out that since Christ learned that the Falcon air defense missile system was developed and produced by China, he roughly inferred the intentions implicitly behind it.
But unlike Lu Jiadong, Christ did not have the foresight of the time traveler. With nothing more than the pair of stingy eyes than ordinary people, since the drastic changes in Eastern Europe in 1989, Western countries led by the United States have begun to engage in red regimes around the world.
I was even a little impatient, hoping to sweep all the red regimes in two or three years. Under this trend, China inevitably became a fat person in the eyes of those who are interested, so there was a political shock that year that shocked China. Then, the relationship between China and the West took a sharp decline.
Seeing that a plan failed, the West simply tore off the hypocritical mask and began to attack China's most sensitive T region. Soon the United States agreed to sell a large number of weapons and equipment to the T region, including 150 F-16 fighter jets and four battalions of "Patriot" air defense missiles.
Not only that, driven and condoned by the United States, other Western countries have also begun to open convenient doors for arms sales to T region. Among them, France is the most rampant, directly selling 60 Phantom 2000 fighter jets, four "Lafitte"-class stealth frigates, and a large number of weapons and ammunition to T region, with a total value of more than US$2 billion.
All these things not only break the fragile military balance between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, but also gradually make some separatist forces in the T region rise, which makes China feel unprecedented pressure. If it is coupled with the RB, which already has the advantage of sea and air and the strong US military base, it makes China feel like it is being held by someone with a knife to hold its neck.
Since life is threatened, we naturally cannot sit still and wait for death. Strong countermeasures are inevitable. In Christ's eyes, among China's many countermeasures, selling the "Falcon" air defense missile system to Iraq is the most important part.
Because it is in this way that China swears to the whole world that they have the ability to resist any external forces’ aggression. Didn’t the West sell F-16 and Phantom 2000 to the T region? The Falcon air defense system uses cruel actual combat to show that shooting down these fighter jets is easier than cutting melons and vegetables.
This is just a Chinese air defense missile system dedicated to foreign trade. The combat capability of the new air defense system used by itself will only be higher than that of the "Falcon" system. In this way, even if the West exerts pressure, it will not break up. Even if the T region is jumping, it will not be possible to cross the red line...
Crist's inference is very correct. If Lu Jiadong was present, he would definitely give Crist a thumbs up without hesitation, because the young Bairdro farmer was so powerful that he guessed Lu Jiadong's intentions just by just a series of evolutions of the international situation. If such a person is not scary, who else is scary?
You should know that in the strategic game between major powers, the most taboo is to misjudgment the situation, just like the dead Flynn. Seeing that the Soviet Union was about to collapse, China, which was the second-class, could hold on to its level, so Flynn always maintained an unusually tough attitude towards China, hoping that China would be as unsustainable as the Soviet Union under this high pressure and eventually collapsed.
It is precisely because of this that he spared no effort to use tough means to eradicate the "Falcon" air defense missile system, that is, to destroy Iraq's hope, and to teach the uninteresting Chinese a lesson. However, he did not expect that China, an ancient country with a history of 5,000 years of civilization, had a degree of tenacity beyond imagination, and the "Falcon" air defense missile system is a microcosm of this tenacity. It not only resisted the coalition's beyond imagination attack, but also sent Flynn to the grave...
Flynn’s failure cannot be said to be not smart enough, but he did not see the internal situation of China clearly. Because of this, Christ did not continue Flynn’s tough attitude towards China. Instead, after deeply analyzing China’s national conditions, he began to lower his attitude to seek reconciliation with China.
Since China cannot be subverted in the short term, there is no need to let the tight springs accumulate power. Now it is the stunning appearance of the "Falcon" air defense missile system. If pressure is put on China again, maybe China will really take out the offensive weapons at the bottom of the box. By then, the United States' losses will not be as simple as hundreds of fighter jets.
What? Some people would say that China can have any offensive weapons? Don’t forget that just a few years ago, the UFO developed by China severely damaged the Iraqi armored cluster commanded by Soviet advisers in the Battle of Horamshahr. If China is really determined to deliver the UFO to Iraq, there is no need to have more, only a few hundred, which can cause unimaginable losses to the coalition ground forces.
Christ, who was a soldier, knew this very well, so he didn't want to intensify this contradiction anymore. After all, the current strategic focus of the United States is in Europe and the Middle East. There is no need to invest too much resources in East Asia. Moreover, China has already left a lot of face to the West. If it were an old man like the Soviet Union or France, he would have rolled up his sleeves and started fighting face to face with you. He would not implicitly use high-performance air defense missile systems to sneak on other countries' lands. Flying and aircraft.
Based on this, Christ suggested that President Bush change his strategy to China to stabilize this moderate potential opponent and resolve the more difficult Iraq and the Soviet Union, and then turn around and concentrate on dealing with this uneasy big cock. So after talking about a series of policy adjustment plans, Christ finally reiterated:
"We cannot just use strong pressure to suppress people like China, but use more hidden and gentle methods to change them from the inside. The older generation cannot do it, just this generation, this generation cannot do it, the next generation. In short, it is to use the strong comprehensive influence of the United States.
