Chapter 421: You should always have dreams, what if they come true? (ask for monthly votes)
After staying in Xiangjiang for a total of eleven days, I took a plane directly from Xiangjiang Airport to Beijing Airport.
This time he returned to Beijing to attend an important meeting.
There is only one topic at the meeting, and that is the Kashmir region!
The map on the wall shows the Kashmir region.
The Kashmir region is divided into Pakistani-controlled areas and Indian-controlled areas.
As for the Aksai Chin region and the Karakoram Corridor region, they are completely Chinese territory, and there is no dispute at all about these places.
"Pakistan cannot be defeated again, nor can it lose control of Kashmir. Once it loses Kashmir, Pakistan's entire situation may collapse, and it will be swallowed up by India step by step. And once India takes over the entire Kashmir, Then we can project power to Afghanistan and other Central Asia and even the Middle East.” The sudden outbreak of the fourth India-Pakistan war has attracted global attention, and China is no exception.
A middle-aged man frowned and said: "But currently our energy is on streamlining the troops, reforming and sorting out the troops. The rounds of fighting in the south have already made us feel strenuous. We are no longer able to project too much power in Kashmir." area."
The annual military expenditure is less than 20 billion yuan. Streamlining the army already requires a lot of energy. The reform of the army also requires a lot of energy.
There is really no extra money to put in Kashmir.
For the military, completing the downsizing of the million-strong force is the top priority this year. It is the first priority, and everything else is ranked behind.
Kashmir is important, but it does not rank among the top ten issues today.
"Comrade Liu Tao, tell me." The old man smoked a cigarette and looked at Liu Tao.
Liu Tao pondered for a moment and organized his speech: "We all know that India must not be allowed to control Kashmir. This is a strategic issue, not a tactical issue."
When the others heard what Liu Tao said, they all nodded slightly.
This is a consensus!
If India does not control Kashmir, then it can only be in the South Asian subcontinent, and it cannot be called the hegemon in South Asia.
But if India takes control of Kashmir, there is no doubt that India will gradually grow to become the hegemon in South Asia and dominate the entire South Asia. It will be difficult for Pakistan to support that situation for too long.
After dominating South Asia, India will definitely expand its influence to Central Asia and the Middle East. Then it will no longer be a regional power, but a world power.
"Helping Pakistan is an inevitable option, not a question of whether or not. Of course, we can convince the Americans and let them pay, and we sell it to Pakistan at a low price. If India dares to take the initiative to break out a war at this time, there must be the Soviets behind it. With the instigation of the Soviet Union, Americans will never want to see the Soviet Union really open up the channel to the Indian Ocean. Once Pakistan is finished and the Soviet Union gains access to the southern seaport, its influence will radiate to the Indian Ocean and will have a huge impact on the entire Arabian Sea. Liu Tao looked very calm, "This kind of influence will far exceed the Soviet Union's acquisition of Cam Ranh Bay Naval Base."
The Soviet Union's acquisition of the Cam Ranh Bay naval base was naturally very influential, but in the final analysis, the US military still had a military base in Singapore, and Cam Ranh Bay was not too far from Zhanjiang, so the overall situation was controllable.
But if Pakistan collapses and the Soviet Union gains access to the sea, then it can be said that the United States will have to raise a white flag in the entire world situation.
Although the United States currently produces an astonishing amount of oil every year, it is the largest oil importer in the world. Plus Europe and Japan, they have to import oil from the Middle East every year.
Once the Soviet Union obtains access to the sea, the Soviet Navy will become a world-class navy. At that time, the entire Gulf and the entire Middle East will be under the Soviet Union's military front. Which country in the Gulf dares not to listen to the Soviet Union or look at the Soviet Union's face? ?
By then it will definitely no longer be a ‘petroleum-dollar system’, but a ‘petroleum-ruble system’.
That is enough to shake the foundation of the entire United States.
And with their energy lifeline being strangled, can Europe and Japan still side with the United States?
think too much!
Just squeezing the energy source can suffocate them.
"Americans are willing to pay? Now their fiscal deficit is increasing and the U.S. debt is also increasing. Americans are not as wealthy as before." Someone raised a question.
America is strong, there is no doubt about it.
On land, the Soviet Union was the absolute hegemon.
But in the ocean, the United States is the absolute hegemon. The Soviet Navy is very strong, but it is far worse than the U.S. Navy.
This can be seen from the fact that the United States has naval bases all over the world and can control the world's major waterways.
But the current situation is that the landlords have no surplus food.
Over the past decade or so, the United States has been in decline.
The Vietnam War seemed to have suddenly wiped out the energy and spirit of the once most generous leader in the world.
Since the end of the Vietnam War, the United States has never made any big troubles. As for its invasion of Grenada in 1983, not only did it fail to establish its authority, but it became a laughing stock.
Because Grenada is just a small place, with an area of only 344 square kilometers and a population of less than 100,000.
One of the two poles of the world went so far as to bully a younger brother among his younger brothers.
There's nothing glorious about it at all.
"And don't forget, the United States has spent a lot of money to help Israel, and they still don't have the money to spare?" someone else added.
In the fifth Middle East war, Israel suffered a terrible defeat, losing tens of thousands of troops, as well as a large number of tanks, planes, and artillery. In addition, the myth of undefeated was broken, and the halo of the "Little Overlord of the Middle East" was gone. The surrounding areas were all eyeing it covetously. In this case, the son naturally needed to help to protect his father from death.
Liu Tao said: "During the Iran-Iraq War, the United States is secretly selling weapons to Persia. Although this has not been reported, everyone knows it."
"In Persia, the United States will not allow Iraq to win, lest Iraq gain hegemony in the Gulf. Similarly, the United States cannot bear the consequences of Iran turning to the Soviet Union. In that case, it will be disastrous for Europe and the United States. Both sides do not need to continue fighting. Europe and the United States can just raise the white flag and surrender." Liu Tao said: "Similarly, the United States cannot accept India doing this at this time, and cannot accept Pakistan losing Kashmir. In that case, the series of consequences caused will likely lead to the collapse of the United States' basic base."
"Preventing the Soviet Union from obtaining an ice-free port is what Europe and the United States are trying to do. To be precise, this is a strategy that has been implemented since the British Empire." Liu Tao said: "No matter how difficult the United States is, it has to grit its teeth and pay."
"Besides, there is always a dream. What if it comes true! If the United States is willing to pay, then we will definitely make money." Liu Tao's heart is inclined to believe that the United States will grit its teeth and pay.
You know, the United States has the largest gold reserves in the world.
In the First World War and the Second World War, the United States made a lot of money and became the world's largest creditor country. It also has the largest gold reserves in the world and the strongest industrial power in the world.
It is precisely because of this that the United States was able to gain a position as a superpower after the Second World War.
It is true that the current environment is that the Soviet Union attacks and the United States defends, but it does not mean that the United States has no financial resources. On the contrary, the United States has a solid financial resources.
