Reborn Oligarchs 1991

The arrogance of the Chinese people began to appear officially after the end of World War II, and) e In ten years, due to the existence of the Soviet Union, the two major empires have won each other’s competition in various aspects. As for Khrushchev In the middle and early periods of Brezhnev’s administration, the Soviet Union even surpassed the United States in several aspects and became the dominant force in the world. The Cuban missile incident of that year was born in this environment. However, with the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the drastic changes in Eastern European countries, the United States has become a unique superpower in the world. In the past ten years, on the one hand, they have tried their best to avoid the rise of Russia, on the other hand, they have Take most of your energy and limit the development of socialist China.

If the historical process after the disintegration of the Soviet Union continues, the pressure on China may be surprisingly great. Even if the reform and opening up policy is good, in the face of the tense external environment, the effect of this reform may be greatly reduced. . However, the development of this world has its own rules. The disintegration of the Soviet Union not only turned the United States into a unique superpower in the world, but also dispelled the biggest concerns that Western European countries had during the Cold War. To a certain extent, from the day the Soviet Union disintegrated, the need for self-determination of Western European countries, especially the desire to get rid of the control of the United States, broke out irresistibly. The official establishment of the European Union was against this background. appeared below.

The rise of the European Union obviously made Americans feel deeply uneasy. At the same time, in order to resist the pressure from Washington, the European Union began to frequently contact the Chinese government. In the 1990s, the relationship between China and the European Union was unprecedentedly warm. In this situation, the lifting of the arms embargo against China negotiated by the EU is also a sign of this period. Of course, while engaging with China, the EU has not given up its political infiltration into other parts of the world. For example, in the former Eastern Europe and the more sensitive and complex Middle East, their tentacles are getting deeper and longer, and thus fundamentally posed a threat to U.S. interests. Furthermore, with the rise of the European Union, the situation in the international currency market has also undergone subtle changes. As a brand-new currency, the euro has begun to emerge in the international financial market, which has created a negative impact on the dominance of the U.S. dollar in the past. The most direct threat. From this point of view, Washington’s biggest opponent in the mid-to-late 1990s was still its past allies, the Western European countries.

From this perspective, whether it is the eastward expansion of NATO or the spread of the US missile defense system, or even this Kosovo war, are the Americans just trying to limit Russia’s renaissance? This is obviously wrong. From a certain point of view, Washington’s strategy may not be aimed at creating tension in the European region and thus restricting the development of the EU to a certain extent.

Now, the Kosovo war has entered a critical stage. Within the NATO group, the voices of the European countries calling for an early settlement of the war and the restoration of peace in the Balkans are getting louder and louder. In the face of the NATO group’s military intervention, Miloshevi The Qi regime has shown signs of loosening. It is conceivable that if this situation continues, peace in the Balkans will become inevitable soon, and the Americans will also lose a basic point of restricting the development of the European Union.

In his previous life, Guo Shouyun once regarded the Americans as outright warmongers. In his opinion at that time, all kinds of wars waged by the Americans were obviously aimed at promoting the arms and weapons produced by their own countries. But now, his vision is not so simple. He can see that the reason why Americans spare no effort to provoke all kinds of wars, in addition to selling arms, is to continue to maintain their strong international politics. Influence, in addition, and more importantly, is to limit those international powers that pose a threat to them.

“When I received the news just now, Chernomyrdin called. He said that he planned to go to the Kremlin in the afternoon to discuss what attitude Moscow should take on this matter,” Yelena picked up the coffee again. , took a light sip, and said in a relaxed tone, “According to international practice, within 24 hours after a major event occurs, countries with interests should issue an official statement to demonstrate their commitment to similar events. Otherwise, if it drags on for 24 hours, Moscow’s role in this event will be marginalized. However, this matter is obviously quite sensitive, and I suspect that Washington has done so. The purpose of this is nothing more than three aspects. First, to create trouble for China-EU relations, which is easy to take into account, so there is no need to say more; second, to test the reaction of Beijing to see when they encounter similar provocations. , what kind of attitude will the

East hands. All in all, the seemingly isolated event is likely to have a series of chain reactions, so Chernomyrdin’s caution on the matter is not wrong. “

Guo Shouyun nodded. He pondered that before the Americans did this, they did not consider the possible response of Moscow at all. From this perspective, their line of sight had obviously deviated from the latitude of Moscow. Washington The focus of outward relations has definitely shifted to the Middle East, the European Union and China, and this is obviously a good sign for Moscow. Now, aside from this aspect, let’s just look at the possible responses of the major international forces. On the Beijing side, there is no doubt that their attitude towards this matter will definitely be very tough, but behind this toughness, there will be a certain degree of weakness. After all, China is not the same as the United States in terms of strength. There is a peer relationship. Furthermore, although Beijing has expanded its influence rapidly in the Middle East in recent years, they are playing a set of strategies that point to the east and the west. Guo Shouyun can be sure that the focus of Beijing’s diplomatic strategy is definitely not in the Middle East. , but it should be more extensive geographically, and at the same time, the African continent has been forgotten by major international powers. As for the real purpose of Beijing’s operation in the Middle East, I am afraid it is to create trouble for the United States and the European Union, so that they have no time to spare God went to consider the problems of Africa. This point, Guo Shouyun had seen very clearly in his previous life.

So aside from China’s position, what about the EU’s attitude? There is no doubt that Europeans are not fools. They can see what the Americans are doing. Therefore, after this incident, the European Union will definitely make a two-handed response. First, try to appease Beijing. , At the same time, do everything possible to strengthen relations with China. Second, negotiate with Washington in a certain circle to avoid further expansion of this incident.

The most important question now is that no matter what the attitudes of the parties are towards this matter, at least for a long period of time in the future, the situation of the international political game between the great powers will become quite lively. A profit-making space will inevitably appear one after another. Turbulence means interests, and peace means dullness. This principle will not change at any time.

“What do you think?” The man was silent. A curious expression appeared on Yelena’s face. She holds the cup in both hands. Lean forward. Then asked softly. “Speak and listen.”

“Well. How to put it. I think for us. This might be an opportunity.

“Guo Shouyun’s right fingers flicked rhythmically on his knees. At the same time, he said with a thoughtful expression.

“Opportunity?” Yelena asked with a smile. “what chance?”

“Opportunity to start a war.” Guo Shouyun frowned. After pondering for a while. Said in a deep tone. “In addition. It is also an opportunity to speed up the recovery of local power. I think. At this time. The pressure from international interference must be minimal. What do you think?”

“Haha. Very good.” Ye Liena smiled. she nodded. “You and I thought about going together. Well. But anyway. I guess Mikhail came over today. It must be for this. For him and Vinogradov. This is also the best chance to intervene in the military. Are you ready?”

“I also thought of this,” Guo Shouyun nodded, took a deep breath and said, “When I listened to Polaninov just now, I was still a little puzzled, Mikhail has been very busy these days. , How could he have time to come and have lunch with me? Well, after reading this document, I understand everything. Hey, if you move your whole body, Americans will really choose the timing of the shot.”

“Hehe, this is certainly an opportunity for Khodorkovsky and Vinogradov, but for us, it may not be the same opportunity,” Yelena straightened up and took the whole slender back. Buried in the back of the sand, at the same time, he said casually, “Don’t forget, the reason why those military generals are on your side now is because they didn’t have a better choice before, and now, the situation has already The trend has become clear, so some people will inevitably have some unpleasant ideas. Hehe, war, war is cruel, and the coolest thing about it is that the victory or defeat is before the end of the war, No one can predict that. Therefore, in the same war, there may be infinite military exploits and prestige, as well as unimaginable burdens and responsibilities. The key point is, who will command this war , who has the real ability to decide the direction of this war.”

Guo Shouyun was shocked, and he understood the thoughts of the women around him.
