Chapter 1246 If the United States does not have it, then go to the Soviet Union (Third update, please subscribe)
Although the summit has not yet begun, the two sides have already discussed the deepest issues.
In fact, this is also the normal rhythm of summits. After World War II, there was talk of "getting rid of secret diplomacy", but in fact, secret diplomacy has never stopped.
The so-called "summit summit" seems to be open, but on the other side, the heads of the two countries are together. While they are smoking cigarettes and drinking tea, they may have already decided on the future of a certain small country. Destiny.
Sometimes, the same is true for big countries.
As for state banquets and summits, at this time, they are not very important.
Three days later, at Chang'an International Airport, when watching the Kennedys leave, they stood at the top of the escalator and waved to themselves. Li Yian couldn't help but cast his eyes on Jacqueline, in a daze. Suddenly he seemed to see Jacqueline dressed in black gauze, looking charming as a widow.
“Do you think the First Lady of the United States is beautiful?”
At this moment, Princess Margaret, who gently shook her right hand, asked quietly, obviously she had paid attention catch this guy's eyes.
“She is just an ordinary woman, far from beautiful. The demeanor and temperament that Americans boast about Jacqueline is actually just because there has never been such a young first lady before!”
Li Yi'an is an honest person - the first ladies before Jacqueline were all old women. The sudden emergence of such a young and decent-looking woman naturally aroused the popularity of all walks of life.
"The so-called temperament and demeanor are just acquired, far inferior to what you are born with. What is she? She just has the title of the President's wife! If there is One day Kennedy is no longer the president, and she is nothing more than an ordinary woman. "
A woman who is ordinary enough to be played by men!
Thinking of this, Li Yian curled up his lips!
The so-called "Kennedy couple" in the United States is nothing more than the result of deliberate flattery by public opinion. In the current mainstream public opinion in the United States, Kennedy is still a weak president. Even the performance of the Berlin crisis has been criticized by all walks of life in the United States. He came to Nanyang, saying that he was for the "free world", but in fact he came to Nanyang to tell the truth through cooperation with Nanyang. America - I'm hard!
Whether it is hard or not, that is, Jacqueline, Monroe and several other Hollywood actresses know.
But after the "Cuban Missile Crisis", he will be blown away!
The image of the president has undergone earth-shaking changes. Even the president can be shaped by the media, let alone a president’s wife.
The couple themselves are products of popular television.
No matter how tough Kennedy is, he still has to use his imagination,
No matter how noble Jacqueline is, she will fall into the arms of Onassis!
“But she is indeed the First Lady of the United States now, sister, I mean Elizabeth doesn’t like her. I didn’t know why at first, but now, I understand why - because she really It’s very hypocritical.”
At this time, the Kennedys had entered the plane, and Margaret was still waving to the plane with a smile on her face.
"Haha..."
As his fingers gently passed over Margaret's face, Li Yian said,
"It's so surprising. I've seen you so enthusiastic these days. I thought you liked her very much?"
Facing her husband's intimacy, Margaret tilted her head, enjoying this He said softly.
“It’s just work.”
Yes, for her, such occasions are just work, just like her experience since childhood, most of the time, it is in public Just a performance.
As the face and fashionista of the royal family, her every move attracts attention from the outside world. The same is true now. To a certain extent, Margaret is now not only a trend setter in South Asia, but also a trend setter in the UK and European countries - every time she returns to the UK, her outfits match , will always cause all sectors of society to follow suit.
It is precisely because of this that Nanyang's clothing and cosmetics have become famous luxury brands. After all, the effect of being endorsed by the Queen of Sarawak and the Princess of Great Britain is completely different.
Soon, Air Force One took off, and Li Yian and Margaret returned to the "Daming Palace" by car. As soon as they returned to the "Daming Palace", a meeting was naturally held there. , the discussion was not about anything else, but Kennedy's request.
“The United States requires us to deploy Wanhu-IV medium-range missiles in Musandam.”
Standing in front of the map, Army Chief of Staff Zhao Mingqin pointed to a corner of the map and said:< br>
Musandam is a land leased from the United Kingdom in Nanyang for space needs. It faces Iran across the Strait of Hormuz; it covers an area of 1 800 square kilometers. Although the area is covered with desert, its strategic location is unquestionable. At that time, Nanyang asked the United Kingdom to lease it on the pretext of establishing a space monitoring station. The United Kingdom not only leased this strategically important land to Nanyang, but also leased it to Nanyang. Oman is leased to Nanyang along with another enclave of Pakistan, the Gwadar region in Iran.
The reason why the United Kingdom was so generous back then was because of its small thoughts. On the one hand, after the "Suez Canal Crisis", the United Kingdom was worried that it would have to allow Oman independence sooner or later, and leased the land belonging to Oman to Nanyang. This is a typical " The "shit stirrup" mentality is just to create regional disputes.
But for Nanyang... this is not a big deal at all. After all, this world speaks by strength.
So, Nanyang naturally accepted it generously, but for these two extremely desolate lands, until now, except for the space monitoring station, there has been no further planning, and only some troops have been stationed.
I never thought that before Nanyang had made up its mind, the United States had already made up its mind on this enclave.
“This Kennedy!”
Li Yian shook his head and chuckled.
"He is trying to cause trouble!"
Originally, Li Yian only knew about the "Cuban Missile Crisis". He only knew that this missile crisis was because the Soviet Union deployed medium-range missiles to Cuba. But I never thought that after a long time, it was the United States that initiated the matter first - first deployed medium-range missiles in Turkey, and then, in response, the Soviet Union deployed the missiles in Cuba. What was the final result? The Soviet Union publicly withdrew its missiles from Cuba, while the United States withdrew its medium-range missiles from Turkey six months later, thus ending the "Cuban Missile Crisis."
As expected. I can’t explain the meaning in detail, but after working on it for a long time, I acted like a little innocent American, picking things over there.
Then came the Cuban Missile Crisis. And almost everyone ignores this, intentionally or unintentionally.
The Soviet Union is doing it for self-defense!
"Your Excellency, if we deploy medium-range missiles there, it will definitely cause further confrontation between us and the Soviets, which will even intensify the contradiction between us and them."
As the chief of staff, Zhao Mingqin directly expressed his opinion. In fact, this is also a common view in Nanyang - he is unwilling to take grain from the fire for the United States. After all, the United States is the United States and Nanyang is Nanyang. It is okay to take advantage of the United States and go through fire and water for the United States. How stupid that is!
Listening to the chief of staff's words, Li Yian unexpectedly shook his head and said.
"Although it is our basic principle not to sacrifice the interests of Southeast Asia for the United States, we must also consider one thing - the Cold War!"
Looking at the generals of the army, navy and air force present, Li Yi'an said :
“The characteristic of the Cold War is that no matter what, you must choose a side. This is the general environment of the Cold War. If If we want to enjoy the dividends of the Western world, we must stand on the side of the Western world. As for the Soviet Union... it is just a matter of tensioning the relationship and then appeasing it. As for the deployment of missiles..."
After thinking about it, Li Yian asked:
“How is the development progress of our mobile medium-range missiles?”
The mobile medium-sized missiles Li Yian refers to refer to the mobile deployment of ballistic missiles that combine missiles with launch vehicles. For this purpose, he even specially drew drawings.
Actually, this does not have much technical difficulty. It is nothing more than a matter of concept. Although the tactical missiles of various countries can be maneuvered, this so-called "launch vehicle" only has a traction function and is not like the later ones. Like the missile launch vehicle, it has one-stop services such as transportation, erection and launch.
So, two years ago, after Nanyang began to develop solid propellant medium-range missiles, Li Yi'an also proposed the concept of "missile launch vehicle".
“Our new medium-range missile has been tested, with a range of 3,300 kilometers, and there is still potential that can be tapped, but... Your Excellency, we have encountered problems in the development of the launch vehicle, and the company is not suitable as a A heavy-duty off-road vehicle for the launch vehicle."
Zhao Mingqin's answer made Li Yian stunned for a moment. There is no suitable heavy-duty off-road vehicle?
Is this Nanyang?
Isn’t Nanyang a big car manufacturing country?
Although there are some doubts, this is natural. After all, there is no demand for heavy-duty off-road vehicles in Nanyang. Heavy-duty vehicles are nothing more than mining vehicles. As for the military, they only have 10-ton tractor off-road vehicles at most. The number The largest number are 2.5-ton off-road vehicles. As for the development of heavy-duty off-road vehicles, it is simply a capital "0".
There is no other reason, because there is really no need for this. At least not in the past.
But without heavy off-road vehicles, where would mobile missiles come from?
There is no need for land-based missiles in Nanyang, but land-based intercontinental missiles deployed in bracket silos are not mobile-deployed land-based intercontinental missiles.
In the future, Nanyang will definitely need land-based intercontinental missiles that can be deployed dynamically. After all, land-based missiles have a long range and are powerful!
The only problem is that you need a suitable transport vehicle.
"Is there a suitable transport vehicle in the United States?"
Li Yian asked rhetorically.
The answer is no. Just like the United States, it is also blank in this area.
"Foton Company is currently considering using tank trailers for improvement,"
Listening to what Zhao Mingqin said, Li Yian thought for a while, and then said:
"If the United States If you don’t have a suitable heavy-duty off-road vehicle, then...well, buy it from the Soviet Union!”
The reason why I think of the Soviet Union is because the roads in the Soviet Union are bad!
It can be said that the road system in any country in the world is worse than that of the Soviet Union. From the Ukrainian plains where mud turns over in spring to Siberia where it turns into swamps in summer, those roads are roads but are clearly swamps. It is precisely because of this that the Soviet Union has produced a bunch of heavy-duty off-road vehicles with extremely good performance. After all, this is a real need!
So, if the United States does not have it, then try your luck in the Soviet Union!
Using a Soviet-made truck to mount Soviet missiles...no problem!
"The Soviet Union..."
When the others heard this, their expressions all became a little complicated. They couldn't even imagine how you thought of the Soviet Union. Of course, this is not the most important thing now. The important question, the important thing is...will the Soviets sell it?
"Your Excellency, this is a heavy-duty off-road truck equipped with missiles!"
Facing their reminder, Li Yian said again:
"So what? A heavy-duty off-road truck is just a truck. Already, besides, our relationship with the Soviet Union is still okay! If there is money to be made, why don’t they?”
