Chapter 1288 Do you know how to lift the table (Third update, please subscribe)
On the vast Pacific Ocean, the cabin of the airplane was filled with joy.
Every once in a while, new news will come.
"The 1st Armored Brigade has captured Nasiriyah without encountering any large-scale resistance along the way. Currently, our army is cooperating with the Royal Iraqi Army to march towards Baghdad and is expected to capture Baghdad within three days."
Listening to the accompanying officer’s report, Li Yian nodded slightly and said:
"Tell General Qian Shangqin to fight steadily and not to advance rashly."
Qian Shangqin is the commander-in-chief of this operation. He has gained combat experience in mechanized corps in Egypt a few years ago. This time in Iraq, Li Yian naturally gave him priority.
After thinking for a while, Li Yian added:
“Pay attention to increasing the political offensive. In such a devastating battle, we must attack the heart first.”
Li Yian’s The reason why I say this is because of the experience of Dongda University. Once the century-old army crossed the river, the president's army of millions could either surrender or escape. That was the real battle. No one was a man, and they were transferred directly to the Bay Island. . Among them, propaganda warfare and psychological warfare are the key.
"Yes."
After the accompanying officers left, Li Yian took another look at the report in front of him and said:
"The United States and the United Kingdom exercised their veto power in the Security Council on the Iraq plan proposed by the Soviet Union. "
Everything is expected. There is no need for two vetoes. As long as one major country exercises its veto power, the proposal will be shelved.
“This is natural. The United States is not willing to see an Iraq that turns to the Soviet Union, while the United Kingdom hopes that the Iraqi royal family will return to Baghdad and continue its pro-British tradition.”
Li Guoren smiled and said:
“They think that as long as they exercise their veto power, Princess Addis will fall to Britain, and Britain will restore their hegemony in the Middle East.”
“This is not important. , Britain's decline is inevitable. In the past ten years, the Labor Party has been the opposition party. The Conservative Party has controlled Downing Street for so many years, and it has reached its extreme. If nothing else happens, the Labor Party is very likely to defeat it in the next election. The Conservative Party."
Your Excellency's analysis surprised Li Guoren, who just visited the UK a few months ago:
"Your Excellency, how is this possible? , the public’s evaluation of him is still very good, which not only maintains Britain’s status as a major country, but also takes into account the people’s livelihood.”
This is a typical example of the planting of trees by predecessors. Eden, who succeeded Fatty Qiu, not only took a tough stance on the Suez Canal issue, but also on other colonial issues, and the huge overseas garrisons also required financial subsidies, which led to a decline in military expenditures. A sharp rise. This directly led to financial constraints in the UK, and the people became increasingly disappointed with Aiden's governance.
Faced with public pressure, in order to keep the Conservative cabinet, Eden had to announce his resignation and handed over the position of Prime Minister to Macmillan. After this guy took office, it coincided with the implementation of the "Big Ocean Pound". With the "Ocean Pound", Britain balanced the balance of payments and truly turned the colonies into cash machines. As a result, Macmillan gained popular support.
But without the "Ocean Bank" and "Ocean Pound" jointly created by Eden and Li Yi'an, how could Macmillan turn the colonies into British farms and mines?
Of course, those places are also farms and mines in Nanyang.
“People are always like this. In the past ten years, the Labor Party has been regaining their lost popular support little by little. People will always forget. As the older generation of British people grow older, the glory of the empire Will slowly fade out of the British mind. Compared to the glory of the empire, bread is more important. By then, it will be inevitable for the Labor Party to regain control of Downing Street..."
In fact, that is where the Labor Party is "recovering lost ground"!
There was simply something wrong with the Conservative Party itself - the Macmillan cabinet was overthrown by a call girl!
This is the famous "Profumo incident". Next year, Britain's hottest political star, 48-year-old John Profumo, sadly resigned. He and a 19-year-old female model and a call girl broke out the biggest "sex scandal" in post-war British politics. What's even more serious is that this senior cabinet official in charge of national security "shared" this beauty with a Soviet spy.
This scandal not only involved many British dignitaries, members of the royal family, but also Soviet spies, leading to the leakage of British intelligence. What's even more terrible is that Profumo lied when he was still facing questions from the House of Commons.
In fact, the British political arena does not pay much attention to the affair incident itself. Although it is a secret affair, it often happens in the British political arena. Generally, it is a personal privacy that no one bothers with.
But he leaked secrets and lied, all of which exceeded the bottom line. In the end, it directly led to the collapse of the cabinet!
Thinking of the "Profumo Incident" in history, Li Yian started to think about it in his mind - can he take advantage of this opportunity?
Is it to help the Conservative Party tide over the difficulties?
Still participating in this "positive change"?
Thinking this in his heart, Li Yian said:
"We can take advantage of the British mentality of restoring hegemony in the Middle East and profit from it. War costs money, and post-war reconstruction also costs money. Since someone is willing to pay, isn't that great?"
Smiling and temporarily putting aside the British political scandal, Li Yi'an said to Li Guoren:
"However, these are minor. If nothing else, we will wait until we return to Chang'an. , the Soviet Union will send a special envoy to negotiate with us on the Iraqi issue, no..."
After a slight pause, Li Yian said:
"It is to negotiate with us on world security issues. , they have the tickets we need, let’s have a good talk with them when the time comes!”
Tickets!
Of course it is the ticket to become a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council!
"Russia..."
Li Guoren said:
"Sir, will the Russians really send us to the United Nations?" "If you can't beat us, join us!"< br>
Li Yian smiled and said:
“Someone wants to flip the table, and they can’t stop the other person from flipping it, so there is only one way - pull the other person to the table! Let’s eat together ! ”
Why is the Soviet Union worried?
Because Nanyang is crazy enough!
Who is Nanyang most worried about becoming crazy now?
That’s the Soviet Union!
The heavy cost of the Patriotic War caused the entire Soviet Union to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder to varying degrees. They believed that World War III would definitely break out, either today or tomorrow. In the context of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union and its allies were under tight military siege by the United States and NATO, and American reconnaissance aircraft flew in the skies of the Soviet Union. American medium-range missiles were deployed just in front of the Soviet Union's borders. Even though Khrushchev was banging his leather shoes on the table of the United Nations and threatening to show off to the United States, this fear of being surrounded filled the entire Soviet Union with a strong sense of insecurity. Because of this sense of crisis of being surrounded, the Soviet Union sought new partners and broke the "encirclement" of the United States and NATO.
Emerging countries like Egypt, Ethiopia, Iraq, Indonesia and India are their only choices. This is also the fundamental reason why the Soviet Union used aid to win over emerging countries during the Cold War.
“...Now we bypass the framework of the United Nations and directly use advanced weapons to carry out the "decapitation operation", which can fundamentally shatter the Soviet Union's wishful thinking at any time.
Even if the Soviet Union provides a large amount of military assistance to those countries, so what?
In just one night, the leaders of emerging countries who turned to the Soviet Union would be "beheaded" and the political center would suffer a serious blow.
Even if we launch a ground attack, it will not have any impact. Just continue to "behead", those people can re-elect a new leader, but if they choose one, we will kill one. "
When it came to getting rid of them, Li Yian deliberately emphasized his tone,
"And this "leader goes first" model is very effective in implementing it, and it also saves money. . All it takes is a few missiles.
In the past, the biggest victims in wars were ordinary people, but now, they only need to move their benches and sit aside to eat melons and seeds and watch the show! "
"This..."
Li Guoren was stunned for a moment. This...can we still fight like this? Let the leader go first...Is there such a way?< br>
It didn’t exist in the past, but now it does!
“Actually, the number of people who can be leaders is limited.
If one person is selected and killed, it will definitely be unsustainable, because there are actually not many people suitable to be leaders. If another person is replaced, it may be difficult to convince the crowd.
And whoever becomes the leader is basically signing a life and death certificate, and is likely to be killed immediately. In this case, fewer and fewer people will eventually be willing to be leaders.
With just a few beheadings, a country can be destroyed even without sending a single soldier! At least it can destroy those pro-Soviet forces. In the end, whether it is to survive or to preserve their own power, they will make another choice - fall to the West!
And this is what the Soviet Union least wants to see. "
Looking at the stunned people, Li Yian said in a light tone.
"What they worry most about is that we will practice this model one by one all over the world. By then, they will be surrounded by the United States again, and they will be unable to stop us! This is the key to the problem. Not only do we Crazy enough, and powerful enough, so powerful that neither the Soviet Union nor the United States can stop us, so he They will do everything possible to bring us to the table, so that we can also become the people sitting at the table with the knife and fork to eat, rather than the people on the plate. ”
This is the most real side of the world, in the final analysis. Strength still comes first. If Nanyang has no strength but chooses to challenge the world order, then Saddam or Gaddafi will end up.
“If you want to challenge the order, you must have the power to maintain the order, and we happen to have this power, so the Soviet Union will send us to the dining table. Yes, that’s right... This is his only choice ! ”
Although he did not doubt your judgment, Li Guoren still raised his doubts.
“But… we are a member of the Western World.”
This is exactly another world where Japan, Germany, India and Pakistan are the biggest obstacles to becoming permanent members of the United Nations.
But now, faced with such questions, Li Yian laughed and said:
“Four of the five major countries in the United Nations are on the side of the United States, and we are still missing one. Not bad! Now, the most important thing for the Soviet Union is to keep this dining table!"
At 10 o'clock that night, after the "Air Force One" landed at Chang'an Airport, he was greeted by the people who came to greet him. Officials and journalists from various TV stations. While Li Yi'an expressed his joy at returning home, he also briefly informed the outside world of the progress of the military's operations in Iraq, although the press had already learned about the military operations from the military spokesperson. progress, but they still knew nothing about some of the details of the operation, but Li Yian told them some details and emphasized:
“We are using this action to remind those tyrants—— National borders cannot stop the iron fist of freedom! ”
Is this a speech?
No, this is a table-turning rhythm!
