Volume Eight, Hundred Years of Resentment, Chapter 76, Covetousness
The water was delivered to the study room, and Jiao Shan sat down in the recorder's position.
Although the Head of State is equipped with the most advanced voice and video recording equipment, for the sake of caution, major meetings must be recorded in writing. Usually, there are special recorders, and only when a very important incident is involved, the Chief Assistant of the Head of State with the highest right to confidentiality is responsible.
"Lao Gu, how is the situation in New Delhi?"
"It's much better than we expected." On the screen, Gu Weimin's expression was cheerful. "I just had an emergency meeting with the Indian Prime Minister. Although I did not directly mention India's position in this war, judging from Rurajapani's tone, as long as we can make appropriate concessions on the South Asia issue, India will remain neutral."
“Adjust concessions?”
"It's mainly the Moscow verdict and Kashmir issue."
Wang Yuanqing put down the teacup and picked up the incense.
"Rulajapani has a problem with South Tibet, and probably knows that we will not make concessions on the South Tibet issue. According to Rulajapani's intention, Moscow negotiations should be resumed as soon as possible and disputes should be resolved in a peaceful manner. The key is the Kashmir issue. Pakistan is pushing too fast, which has had a very bad impact on India. The election is imminent, and Rulajapani has to consider the attitude of voters. If the Kashmir issue cannot be properly resolved, Rulajapani cannot explain to the voters and can only adopt a tough policy."
"He said, will this have an impact on our country's connection with India?"
Gu Weimin smiled and said, "Rujapani didn't say that. The situation is very obvious. When India and Pakistan start war, will we stand by and watch?"
Wang Yuanqing nodded, indicating that he understood Gu Wei's thoughts on the land.
“I feel it is necessary to go to Islamabad.”
"There is no need for this for the time being." Wang Yuanqing blew off the cigarette butts and said. "Ye Zhisheng reported to me after he came back. Pakistan's local problems are not big. As long as we do not support the war, Pakistan will be honest. The problem now is that both Pakistan and India need a step. I suggest you meet with Rulajapani again and take the initiative to propose that our country should come forward and organize India-Pakistan negotiations."
"Let's come forward?"
Wang Yuanqing nodded and said, "If Rulajapani really wants to remain neutral, he will seize this opportunity. Pakistan can solve it easily and will not make us embarrassed."
Gu Weimin pondered for a while and said, "It's better that Lulajapani will host a banquet to entertain me tomorrow. I'll bring up this matter again."
"One more thing, is Rurajapani's attitude reliable?"
"You mean, Rurajapani is deliberately numbing us?"
Wang Yuanqing exhaled and said, "This possibility cannot be ruled out. Although after the Fourth India-Pakistan War, India's military strength has dropped sharply after more than ten years of construction. India has already had the ability to fight Pakistan. According to my estimate, India's military strength is slightly better than Pakistan. In addition to the nationalist sentiment in India, if India and Pakistan start a war, Pakistan will have little chance of winning. Rurajapani must know this. In the past, taking a restrained attitude was to fear Pakistan, but to us. Now we are concentrating our efforts to deal with Japan, and India has obtained a very rare opportunity. For India, Kashmir is much more important than southern Tibet. Rurajapani takes the initiative to resume Moscow negotiations as soon as possible, and it is very likely to take this opportunity to make concessions to us, so that we can be vigilant and create conditions for India to send troops to Kashmir.
If that's true, we must be wary of it."
"I have also considered this issue." Gu Weimin did not object to Wang Yuanqing's speculation and said, "But according to the information provided by the embassy, the situation of supporting the war in India is not obvious. Over the past decade, India's economy has developed rapidly, and more people have realized the importance of the economy and pay more attention to the quality of life, rather than hostile to neighboring countries for a few pieces of land. The basis for the war to be launched by Rurajapani is not solid. Most importantly, India's military strength is not enough to ensure that Pakistan is defeated in a very short time. As long as Rurajapani is a little rational, we should know that even if we have started a war with Japan, we have enough ability to have a decisive impact on the strategic balance of South Asia."
Wang Yuanqing did not rush to speak, waiting for Gu Weimin to continue talking.
"Before you, I was on the phone with Li Cunxun. The Military Intelligence Agency has been monitoring India's military forces and has not found any signs of preparing to start a war."
“Are you considering the U.S. factor?”
"America?" Gu Weimin smiled and shook his head, "In my opinion, even if the United States intends to cause trouble for us, it will not make a fuss in India first, but will fully support Japan to avoid Japan's rapid defeat, and thus use the "Japanese war" to consume our national strength and achieve the goal of weakening our country. Only when it is absolutely necessary will the United States take action in India and force India to start a war against us in various ways. Of course, whether India will take this step depends not only on whether the United States is generous enough, but also on our performance in the "Japanese war". As long as we fight well, even if Lurajapani is a lunatic, he will not easily pull the trigger. Only when we encounter trouble will Lurajapani take advantage of the situation."
“It seems
Worrying is a little redundant.”
"Not that, we must be wary of the United States." Gu Weimin paused for a moment, "Li Cunxun mentioned on the phone that the United States has not made any statements to the war so far, nor has it even reacted. In addition to our attacks being very sudden and very rapid, I am afraid that the United States is also secretly planning a larger-scale operation. In addition, Japanese Foreign Minister Kitama Shikawa has flew to Washington tonight. Many signs indicate that Japan is actively trying to win over the United States, and the United States is also making judgments on whether to intervene in this war."
"What did Li Cunxun tell you?"
"I guessed it myself. Li Cunxun has been busy with the Military Intelligence Bureau and said you are in the tactical command center, so he didn't call you."
Wang Yuanqing smiled and shook his head, saying, "You are right, the United States is indeed a problem."
"I will try my best to stabilize the situation. For other things, the head of state needs to worry about."
"I will contact Zong Yingren as soon as possible and let him start an operation in Moscow.
”
"And Yan Shanglong, Zhou's attitude is also very important."
Wang Yuanqing nodded and said, "That's it. After the work is arranged, I will ask Jiao Shan to contact you and inform you of the relevant information."
The call ended here, and Wang Yuanqing didn't feel relaxed at all.
Gu Weimin is right, the attitude of the United States is too "weird"
If you want to go, the United States will definitely react quickly, and at least the American news media will respond quickly.
The war broke out almost 24 to 10 hours ago. Not only did the US government not issue any statement, but even the US news media remained silent.
Very abnormal!
The more abnormal it is, the greater the danger!
Although in the eyes of many people, the United States maintains a restrained attitude in order to avoid direct conflict with the Republic. After all, the Republic has made up its mind to completely defeat Japan. If the United States intervenes rashly, it is likely that the two most powerful countries in the world will fight again. After Westwood took office, all policies were mainly strategically contracted and consolidated the "base camp" of surrounding areas, and there was almost no way to do anything else. This is not only a direct reflection of the US national conditions, but also an estimate of the future situation of the US decision-makers. However, one thing is undeniable, that is, the fundamental purpose of the United States is to prevent, at least slow the Republic to become the world's number one power.
Wang Yuanqing is not a Western politician, but he is clear about the basic concepts of Western politicians.
Any Western politician has a clear purpose. It can be said that the basic strategies of all Western countries are serving their fundamental goals. The United States temporarily adopts a strategic contraction strategy, not to avoid the republic, but to accumulate national strength and prepare to defeat the republic.
Westwood will not deviate from his goal, and the American decision-maker standing behind him will not allow him to deviate from his goal.
Under this circumstance, the United States will definitely play its due role in the "Japanese War". Even if the Republic cannot lose the war, it will do its best to make the Republic pay a high price for the war, achieve the goal of weakening the Republic, and ultimately lay the foundation for defeating the Republic.
For the United States, "investment" in Japan is a business that can make money without losing money.
If the Republic wins, the United States can use the Japanese issue to cause trouble for the Republic, such as demanding that the Republic resolve Japan's post-war problems in the name of "humanitarianism". At that time, the Republic will be in an embarrassing situation of dilemma. With the current international situation, even if the Republic completely defeats Japan, it will not be able to send troops to occupy Japan, at least it cannot occupy Japan alone. The United States can gather Western countries and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
If the Republic is defeated, the United States will definitely take the opportunity to attack. On the one hand, it will support Japan and make Japan the number one power in the Western Pacific region, at least it will become a major power that can confront the Republic head-on; on the other hand, it will actively suppress the Republic and put the Republic on a heavy burden of war; the United States will take this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, and will gain the opportunity to return to the Western Pacific and East Asia, and will suppress the Republic to the greatest extent and ensure the status of the number one power.
Regardless of the outcome of the war, the United States has the opportunity to profit from it.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the Republic makes low-level mistakes and gives the United States a chance to profit from it.
Will the United States miss the opportunity to come to the door?
Only idiots will give up this opportunity that is within reach!
In what way will the United States attack the Republic?
Wang Yuanqing pondered for a while and asked Jiao Bashan to call Li Cunxun.
Three cobblers are the ones that are Zhuge Liang.
Li Cunxun is also the main aide of the head of state. Listening to the opinions and suggestions of the Military Intelligence Director will definitely be beneficial or harmful.
When Jiao Bashan called the Military Intelligence Bureau, Wang Yuanqing personally contacted Zong Yingren who arrived in Moscow and Yan Shanglong who arrived in Brussels.
Time is endless. Since someone is going to cause trouble, you have to be prepared.
