1789 A new round of blockade starts
"Damn the Bush administration, launching a war for those hateful arms dealers, so I have no money to use now!" After Tennik left, Klington rubbed his slightly dizzy head.
Nowadays, the US president is the most difficult to be a US president. He can't do anything he wants.
Roosevelt, who once came to power in a crisis, solved the financial crisis with large-scale economic construction and made the government rich. Finally, during World War II, the United States became the world's largest power, and European powers all followed them.
Now, the government treasury has been emptied by that bastard Bush.
He came to power and wanted to end the Iraq War, but he could not get approved by Congress at all. Iraq's oil is needed by the United States. They consumed too much funds in the war. Most of the war funds that Middle Eastern countries should pay were not in place because of the launch of nuclear bombs on Baghdad, which instead caused the United States to fall into an energy crisis in the past few years.
The United States not only needs Iraq's oil, but war can allow the United States to experiment with the performance of new weapons, show all customers the advanced American technology, and thus sell more weapons.
Similarly, the United States needs Iraq's post-war business to rebuild, which is a business worth more than one trillion yuan. The Americans cannot beat them up, but the reconstruction work will be obtained by others, right?
Therefore, the United States will never stop the army without completely overthrowing the Kusse regime in Iraq and supporting the pro-US Iraqi government.
Until now, the financial situation is slightly better.
As a result, they found that China's military power had exceeded their imagination.
How can I do it if I don’t make a response plan?
"Your Excellency, don't you think Mister's plan is to bring our entire United States into the abyss? Once this plan is implemented, we will have a very difficult life. Nipponsan is not the Middle East. If it is feasible to support agents, our intelligence department should have succeeded in the 1980s..." an adviser asked the president.
Mister's plan sounds like it can solve the current difficulties the United States is facing and restrict China, but if you are not careful, the United States will fall into an abyss of no return.
"Mister has been proposing restrictions on China since the 1980s. He is too arrogant to China. Even if China has these technologies, it will not be possible to achieve our level in a short time. The Chinese army is too large, and their government does not have much money to use for large-scale equipment... According to our news, the Chinese developed the Longwei tank in the early 1980s, and so far, they have only equipped 1,300 vehicles. There are still thousands of Type 59 tanks in their troops in service..."
If China wants to change clothes on a large scale, it will definitely not be possible in a short time.
They do not have the huge economic strength of the United States, and the research and development of various weapons and equipment are extremely expensive. With China's huge population, they may not be able to complete the dressing change within twenty years.
"Indeed, even if the Chinese have reached our number, many of our domestic equipment have begun to upgrade again... The Chinese have these technologies, which should be used to make reserves and continue to develop. Although reform and opening up has allowed their economic strength to grow rapidly, their domestic population needs to invest more in infrastructure and industry because of their excessive population..."
Most consultants believe that under the current circumstances, they should not make the relationship with the Chinese too rigid.
The United States needs China to provide cheap industrial products and China's increasingly large market to promote technological products and backward technologies.
As president, Clinton is not unclear.
But the current situation is that once the Chinese really develop, the United States will be separated from them by the Pacific Ocean, and the United States' interests in Asia will be greatly affected.
As a captive economic sheep raised in the United States, Japan and South Korea will be severely impacted. And Taiwan may even be taken back by force by the mainland.
The mainland has taken back Hong Kong and Macau has more than two years to return, and the only thing left is Taiwan Island.
If you lose the interests of Asia and the relationship between the United States and Europe is not good, how can you get along?
"Everyone, I know your thoughts. Mister's suggestion is not because he has selfish intentions, because he holds a grudge against the Chinese. However, what he said is not alarmist. In order to ensure national security, the two island chains that block and defend China will lose their effect due to their military strength. China now will not affect our national interests, but what in the future? Once their economic strength develops to a level that is almost the same as ours? They are constantly studying military jealousy technology, but they no longer research and equipment as before. Instead, they continue to develop more advanced technologies and continuously expand their manufacturing capabilities. Once the situation becomes tense, they will quickly produce the most advanced weapons and equipment... Can we sit and wait for death in such a situation?" Klington said this completely from the height of the country.
Others cannot refute it.
Because this is actually what the Chinese people do.
Over the years, they have been safe and bold in economic development due to the international peace, especially around China.
However, the United States was dragged down by the Iraq War.
As one rises and the other goes down, the gap will be shortened quickly.
"Although China has rich resources, they also have one-fifth of the world's population and have insufficient resources per capita. In recent years, they have developed and the domestic resource mining has grown slowly with increasing demand. Chinese companies with government or military backgrounds are waving a lot of money to enter countries in Africa and South America... Everyone, do you think you shouldn't be alert?"
Klington is not as ignorant as the outside world imagines.
When he came to power, he felt that he should maintain good relations with China, but after being president for a few years, he discovered why the Reagan administration had to restrict the export of US technology to China in the later stage.
Although China has poor foundations, they have many people.
The base of people is large, so we can quickly cultivate talents. After the reform and opening up, China resumed the college entrance examination, more than ten years have been growing up.
In particular, relevant American departments conducted research on Chinese college students who went to the United States to study, and only then did they feel that China's talent training mechanism is too terrifying, it is completely a process line to cultivate various talents.
How many people are there in the United States?
"The earth is so small and has so few resources. If a country wants to be strong, it can only generate resources from the world. China's development speed is too terrifying, and many resource reserves are not large, which are related to economic development. In the end, we and China will still have conflicts due to resource allocation issues!" Klington saw this very thoroughly.
Wasn’t it just for resources to compete for territories with the Soviet Union?
And the United States is also aimed at resources?
The Chinese are developing rapidly now. Once they develop to the level of the United States, their demand for resources will be very terrifying. In this way, global resource supply is required.
There are only so many resources in the world. The US government has always sealed domestic resources and transported them back from abroad. The Chinese relied on selling resources at the beginning. Since years ago, the domestic companies began to vigorously rectify industrial and mining enterprises, thereby increasing overseas import resources.
Many of the various ores from Africa and South America are not lacking in China, but they are still transported back to China every day and piled up in places they are bound to.
Resource reserve!
This is completely learning from the United States.
The Chinese now have mines everywhere in Africa and South America. They will not dislike the small mines, nor will they dislike the poor quality of the mines, because they mine them at extremely low prices and exchange them for their outrageously cheap domestic light industrial products, agricultural products, etc.
In this way, not only will their market be expanded, but they will also have more resource supply.
"We have been developing slowly because of the war, and although China's current economy is still maintaining more than double-digit growth due to national macro-control. Their military strength is far beyond what we see! You guys, can we still allow China to continue to develop with peace of mind under such circumstances?" Klington convinced Congress so much.
In itself, these things have nothing to do with Congress.
However, he needed Congress to approve fiscal appropriations and had to convince Congress to agree.
China's rise is too fast, and China's demand for resources is growing too terrifying. Especially crude oil, there are only so many proven reserves in the world. As the largest oil importer, the United States naturally understands what problems this will cause when China's oil imports are getting bigger and bigger.
International supply demand grows, and if productivity cannot keep up, oil prices will continue to rise. Once oil exploitation countries speed up their exploitation, the time for energy exhaustion will come sooner.
In any case, the United States cannot tolerate it.
Therefore, there is no need to cause trouble, so that China cannot develop its economy with peace of mind.
Only when China's economy cannot develop will they have no money to arm their army.
A weak China is in line with the interests of the United States.
Only a China with backward national defense can not threaten the national security of the United States.
Clinton had a good reason. For this reason, Congress agreed to the expenses of tens of billions of dollars of special funds he proposed, which were to limit China's development.
The United States not only needs to start a new round of economic and technological blockade against China, but also needs to join forces with those younger brothers who are ready to reverse the situation.
Chapter completed!
