Zhiguo said that when preparing for the war, Heguo was at ease, and the United States was running for a long time.

As mentioned many times, after the New Year, as the world war became inevitable, the Republic and the United States spared no effort to prepare for war. They even entered a quasi-war state. For example, in previous years, the Republic allowed the main military-industrial enterprises of the United Family to expand and recruit workers at the old proportion of normal periods. The corresponding salary was paid by the central government with additional procurement costs. In this full-speed competition, the comprehensive national strength of the two superpowers immediately surfaced. Even in the eyes of many American news media, the United States' comprehensive national strength was only the macaque of the Republic, and the potential for war was even only the strength of the Republic. Because the comprehensive national strength of the two superpowers accounts for more than 50% of the global proportion, that is, the strength of many small and medium-sized countries, except for the EU, can almost be ignored. Therefore, when the comprehensive national strength is 20 to 30%, it is difficult for the United States to defeat the Republic in a comprehensive war.

Affected by this, from the very beginning, the United States has formulated a basic strategy of defense-oriented.

According to this basic strategy, in addition to spare no effort to build the Tianjun Army, the US authorities also concentrate their efforts to strengthen naval construction. More importantly, as early as around Tiannian, the US authorities and interest groups believed that if the United States cannot block the war from the country, it should choose to surrender at the last moment to preserve its homeland, to prepare for the next time, and to lay the foundation for the future defeat of the Republic.

In this way, the United States' foreign strategy is very clear.

From the standpoint of the United States, there is no reason to give up Russia. You should know that after the Indian War of Swords, only Russia can force the Republic to continue to strengthen its army construction worldwide. Although a world-leading army is enough to make the Republic invincible and can even help the Republic dominate the Eurasian continent, if the Republic wants to completely defeat the United States, it must also have a world-leading army and navy, especially one that can dominate.

In the Pacific, the Republic's army was sent to the navy on the other side. That is to say, as long as the Republic is forced to strengthen its army construction and must ensure land power, it will be difficult to challenge the United States' maritime hegemony and will not pose a threat to the United States. At this point, regardless of whether the United States has the ability to defeat the Republic, it can at least ensure its undefeat. That is, through a war of attrition that lasts for several years, the Republic will have to make peace with the United States when the strong enemy is looking around.

Looking back, the United States has to win over Russia at all costs and incite Russia to challenge the Republic.

In fact, after the Peninsula War, the United States was showing favors to Russia and even proactively proposed alliances several times. Although the situation at that time, that is, Russia and the Republic were extremely close economic relations, and the global depression made it unlikely that the United States would make a difference in the economic field, and it would be even less likely to satisfy Russia's huge appetite, and it would be unlikely that it would be possible to form an alliance, the United States' policy of wooing the Russian authorities to a large extent. Russia is not alone, and on some major issues, it can still cooperate with the United States, at least to use the United States. It is precisely because of this that on the issue of Ukraine joining the EU, Russia fully utilized the influence of the United States and ultimately forced the EU to give up the eastward expansion.

It was not until the year of Lili that the US-Russia relations entered the honeymoon period.

As we all know, the global depression gradually dissipated at the end of the century-old era, the global economy embarked on the fast lane, and a new golden age came again. Unlike the golden age from the end of the century to the beginning of the century, the golden age of the century has a distinctive feature, that is, economic regionalization is very obvious. To put it bluntly, it is that regional economic organizations with the three major economies as the core of the Republic, the United States and the European Union have an increasingly greater influence on the international stage, and regional economic exchanges have completely replaced global trade.

For intensive groups led by the Republic, by the Tiannian year, the group's internal trade accounted for 70% of the total trade volume of the group member countries. Including trade exchanges with friendly countries that have not yet entered into the contract, in the country group with the Republic as its core, internal exchanges accounted for more than 90% of the total trade volume.

The direct impact of this regional economic alliance is to make some independent countries desperate.

By the end of the years, the non-aligned policy was still adhered to. The countries that did not allied with any country, nor joined any political and military alliance treaty were not agreed. Moreover, many of them were small countries with no influence, and only the top countries were old.

Of course, Russia is not among them.

The problem is that the consortium of independent countries led by Russia is definitely the sister of the global economy. Not only is it not as intensive as the Republic, but also the Western Conference of the United States, and the European Union led by France, Germany and Italy. Even secondary international organizations such as the African Union, La Liga League, and Arab League are not as good as those of secondary international organizations. According to a survey conducted by a European consulting agency at the beginning of previous years, if the GDP is based on the GDP, the economic output of the independent countries only accounts for the global hospital. If the industrial output is based on the industrial output, the consortium of independent countries only accounts for the global Anhui, and both ranks seventh in both categories. Of course, the strength of an organization is not only the economic output and industrial output value, but also the regional area, population, material resources, etc. Even if calculated based on the comprehensive strength, the consortium of independent countries ranks fourth at most, and the actual ranking is likely to be fifth or sixth.

In short, Russia is definitely a "big power" that is strong outside and works on the inside.

As mentioned earlier, Russia's economic construction did not go smoothly afterwards, and missed the golden period of becoming rich, and thus lost the strength to compete for the world.

Even so, this is also the result of US-Russia cooperation.

You should know that in the late ugly era, with the passing of the Great Depression, it was not the EU or Latin American countries that first received the most-favored-nation treatment in the United States. Instead, Russia, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Britain and other countries were allies of the United States, and they were all the most-favored-nation countries of the United States during the Great Depression. In just four, Russia's trade surplus with the United States exceeded the old one. USD B was the highest record since Russia's independence, and within the next seven years, Russia's trade surplus with the United States increased year by year, with an increase of around 100 million yuan until 24. Due to the turmoil in the United States, Russia's trade surplus with the United States decreased, but it still earned more than 400 million US dollars.

According to official data released by the US federal government, in the Jun era, Russia obtained the trade income of Gundam Niuka Yi from the United States. Although simple trade income does not make much sense, after all, what Russia gets is the constant depreciation of the US and Russia, such close trade exchanges are definitely a solid foundation for the two countries to move towards an alliance.

After holding a huge dollar, the Russian authorities naturally demanded that the United States export high-tech products to Russia in exchange for the dollar.

That is why at that time, the US Congress approved a technology export bill submitted by the President to target Russia, that is, to use the Republic's technical export principle as the standard, and to appropriately export high-end technology without affecting the national security of the United States to enhance the global competitiveness of American companies.

That year, the US federal government approved the technology export contract signed by Lido companies and Russia.

In short, with the help of the United States, Russia's economy has improved.

The problem is that the essence of the alliance between the two countries is not only cooperation at the economic and technical level. Strictly speaking, an alliance in a narrow sense refers to a military and political alliance, and should at least be an alliance at the military level. In other words, if the United States wants to win over Russia, it must be more sincere. At least let Russia share the US military technology, especially to allow Russia to obtain some urgently needed military technology.

You should know that by Li Nian, Russia still does not have real strategic defense capabilities.

Not to mention the vast territory, even in terms of strategic defense in key areas, Russia only has limited interception capabilities within the atmosphere and does not have orbital space interception capabilities. More importantly, according to the Military Intelligence Bureau's estimates, by the year of Lihuan, Russia can only ensure the safety of Moscow and St. Petersburg at most, and in two directions, it can only intercept targets at the same time. There is no doubt that such interception capabilities are equal to decorations in the world war. You must know that even the Republic's strategic ballistic missiles carry nuclear warheads at the lowest standard. They can also carry more than one bait at the same time.

The warhead, and through the ballistic correction technology of the last booster, decomposes the last booster into dozens of large fragments with bait effect. In this way, at most, only a bullet and missile can saturate the strategic defense system of Moscow or St. Petersburg, and complete the strategic strike on Russia's two most important strategic centers. In fact, it may not be so complicated. According to a report reported by the Russian Observer News in the Year of the Issue, because of the long-term lack of construction funds and the serious loss of talent, Moscow's missile interception system has been useless and has no practical combat capabilities at all.

This is obviously an unacceptable fact for a big country.

In a sense, it is precisely because it lacks the true strategic defense capabilities, even if it is only missile interception capabilities for important cities. Russia does not dare to fight against the Republic on some major issues, and can only swallow its anger and allow the Republic to embezzle Central Asia step by step

district.

For the United States, this is naturally an excellent opportunity to win over Russia.

According to the intelligence mastered by the Military Intelligence Agency, starting from the four, the United States has planned to provide Russia with some advanced technologies related to strategic defense systems. Because the US Congress had not approved relevant bills for exporting advanced military technology to Russia at that time, many of the work was secretly completed by fourth-class intelligence agencies, including intentionally leaking key technologies to Russian spies lurking in the United States.

In the era, the military and technical cooperation between the United States and Russia went from off-stage to on-stage.

Since the beginning of the year, taking advantage of the convenience of the third phase of the London Treaty to reduce the preliminary negotiations, the United States has successively provided Russia with high-energy lasers, particle beam launchers, high-precision optical sights and other advanced technologies to establish and improve strategic defense systems using screens, and even provided several sets of test-based interceptors. According to the information obtained by the Military Intelligence Agency, Russia's first foundation laser interception test in childhood is closely related to the help of the United States, otherwise Russia would not have obtained the surface interception capability at this time. At that time, the Military Intelligence Agency even believed that the interceptor that shot down the incoming missiles during the test was not produced by Russia, but provided by the United States. Although this speculation was later ruled out, the United States must have sent people to participate in the test and played a major role.

Of course, in addition to the strategic defense system, the US-Russia military cooperation has also penetrated into various other fields.

Not to mention, as for the high-contact alloy armor that is decisive in the construction of the army, when domestic production capacity has not been improved, the authorities of the country approved relevant enterprises to open factories in Russia in the year, and the American corona approved the bill to export technology to Russia in the second year. It is precisely because of this that before his childhood, Russia became the third country to master the high-strength alloy production process after the Republic and the United States. On this basis, Russia proposed the idea of ​​a major change of the army in the year of the knife, that is, to use a newly designed ground main battle platform to replace the Xiagu main battle tank and the Kangkou series of infantry fighting vehicles that had been in service in the Russian Army for many years, so that the Russian Army would enter the era of lightening.

No matter what kind of cooperation it is, it can only last long if it is beneficial to both sides.

Military cooperation is no exception.

On the surface, the United States is solving problems for Russia. Through various means, it has made Russia a truly global power. In fact, the United States is also benefiting from cooperation.

In terms of helping Russia establish a strategic defense system, the United States has benefited a lot. You must know that according to the "terrorist balance strategy" of mutual guarantee of mutual destruction, as long as the Republic and the United States throw nuclear warheads at each other, neither side will let go of other major powers that dominate after the nuclear war, such as Russia. Because Russia has formed an alliance with the United States, the United States will not take the initiative to attack Russia. The problem is that the Republic has no choice, and when attacking the United States, it must return Russia to the Stone Age. In this way, if it can be helped

If Russia establishes a relatively complete strategic defense system, the republic will have to spend more nuclear warheads on Russia. With a certain total number of warheads, this means that the nuclear warheads placed on the United States will be greatly reduced. Although theoretically, this will not allow the United States to completely evade strikes, after all, the United States is still the Republic's number one target of strikes, but at least it can reduce the pressure on the US national missile defense system and minimize the losses suffered by the United States, thus laying the foundation for the United States to rise after the war and dominate again.

This is true in terms of strategy and tactics.

Take the joint production of high-strength alloys with Russia as an example. The production capacity of the United States cannot be increased. One very important reason is that the United States lacks several necessary raw materials. Although the United States is one of the three countries with all minerals in the world, the other two are Russia and the Republic, the reserves of these crucial rare metals are not large. In addition, the Republic's resource companies occupy most of the world's rare metal minerals, so the United States can only put its hope on Russia and obtain Russian resources through exporting technology. It is precisely because of this that in Gongnian, the United States accelerated the pace of the army's dressing and proposed the idea of ​​a comprehensive dressing in Tiannian. You must know that without the resources from Russia, the United States would almost never be able to change the dressing for the army at this time.

Ultimately, military alliances are just preludes to political alliances.

Although according to international practice, military alliances should be based on political alliances, after all, military alliances are the continuation of politics. Without political alliances, there is no military alliance. However, in some special circumstances, such as in cooperation with major powers, military alliances often become prerequisites for political alliances.

For example, during World War II, it was precisely because they encountered the same strong enemy in military terms. Britain, which was originally completely politically opposed, formed an alliance with the Soviet Union.

From a basic perspective, the alliance between the United States and Russia is actually because of the same strong enemy.

Tian Nian, when the two superpowers were posing and preparing for war, there were voices of whether they should form an alliance with Russia. Because no matter from any perspective, Russia is not only impossible to become an ally of the republic, but may become an enemy of the republic. Therefore, under the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, the United States has no reason not to form an alliance with Russia. In addition, the past years of close economic exchanges and technical exchanges based on the military field, the United States should improve its relations with Russia and regard Russia as an ally.

Importantly, the United States is not in a hurry to take this step.

As we all know, Russia is the neighbor of the Republic. And it is the last neighbor that can pose a real threat to the Republic. In this way, if the United States blatantly forms an alliance with Russia, the Republic authorities will definitely not even have to think about it. They will send troops to attack Russia before the two countries sign an alliance treaty, and even launch a war alone for it. Although this is good for the United States. At least it can buy more time for the United States, it will also cause the United States to lose its most important allies, thus causing the United States to lose its help in the next war. More importantly, the Russian authorities are not fools, and it is absolutely impossible to have a fight with the United States before the United States and the Republic officially begins.

It is precisely this way, until the past years, that is, after Russia and the Republic turned against each other, that the United States took the first step toward alliance.

In October of that year, before Pei Chengyi visited France, Germany and Italy, the US Secretary of State visited Kazakhstan as the presidential envoy, and signed the "Moscow Treaty" with the Russian President in Moscow.

That's how it was. After many, Pei Chengyi went to France, Germany and Italy, and performed very high-profile in Rome.
