¡°Let¡¯s make some fuss about some countries that have recently abandoned us and gotten too close to the Germans, and hit these countries on their heads to make them clear-headed and realize that if they want to survive in this world, they cannot survive without China¡¯s support and support. Without help, it will be difficult for them to survive." A sharp look flashed in Cai E's eyes, and his expression became more solemn.
"Oh, then which countries do you think you want to make a fuss about?" Li Tiancheng's expression did not change. He knew what Cai E meant and continued to ask calmly.
"Greece, Romania, and India must be punished, otherwise there will be more and more imitators, and more and more countries will imitate their practices and get closer to the alliance of European and American powers that Germany is building. ." Cai E's unwavering eyes became sharper and he said in a deep voice.
The two countries Cai E mentioned, Greece and Romania, are countries where China has troops stationed. These two countries originally did not have German troops stationed in them. At the end of World War I, the German troops were basically stationed in Western Europe and Central and Northern Europe, while China had troops stationed in them. Troops are stationed in Southern and Eastern Europe, with more than 25,000 troops stationed in Greece and Romania respectively.
Among them, France, Italy, and the United Kingdom have Chinese and German troops stationed respectively, but they are geographically far apart and basically do not interfere with each other. This is also a compromise reached to balance the regional power of the European powers.
The same is true for Russia. Germany has a Marine Corps stationed in St. Petersburg on the Russian Baltic Sea coast, with about 15,000 troops and more than 20 ships. China is stationed in the Russian city of Yekaterinburg to the west of the Novosibirsk territory near northern Xinjiang. There are two army divisions with about 25,000 troops.
This has blocked the chokepoint from the European part of Russia to the Novosibirsk region, also blocked the transportation line of the Siberian Railway, and cut off the connection between the European part of Russia and the Asian part.
Due to the strong strength it retained at the end of the war, the United States was the only defeated country that was not stationed by China, Germany and other countries. As a major country among the victorious countries, Turkey also stationed a small number of troops in Romania and Serbia in Eastern Europe, but in recent years After bilateral negotiations, the Turkish army has partially withdrawn, leaving less than 10,000 troops in the two countries.
China has two marine divisions with a total of 50,000 troops stationed in Plymouth in southeastern England and Brest in southwestern France. There are also two new Chinese aircraft carrier fleets stationed in Britain and France. The total number of surface ships in the two countries is There are also more than fifty ships, which is a relatively powerful naval force in Southwest Europe.
These two areas echo each other in the English Channel between Britain and France. They can guard the southern exit of the English Channel and their strategic location is also very important.
In the Mediterranean, China has stationed two divisions of troops in Cagliari, Italy, and Galgalianni, a port city in southwestern Greece. Each of these two areas has an aircraft carrier battle group stationed, both of which are new-generation jet fighters. Aircraft carriers are the strongest naval force in the Mediterranean. In this way, China actually controls the Mediterranean and the Strait of Gibraltar leading to the Atlantic Ocean, guarding the throat of southern Europe.
There are also two Chinese aircraft carriers stationed in the Galkayo area in southwestern Ethiopia as a permanent force guarding the Deman Strait, the throat of the Indian Ocean into the Red Sea.
In fact, Germany basically controls the northwest, northern, central, and eastern regions of Europe, while China has extensive layout in the southwest, southern, and southeastern Europe. The distribution of military power in the Mediterranean region is more conducive to China. The signing of the agreement between China and Germany The relevant agreement made the Germans voluntarily abandon the Mediterranean. Although they also have several naval bases on the Mediterranean coast of the North African colonies, in order to avoid a certain mutual oppression with the Chinese aircraft carrier fleet in the Mediterranean, the Germans agreed not to deploy an aircraft carrier fleet in the Mediterranean.
In order to maintain its dominant position on the European continent after the war, Germany also always guarded against the excessive expansion of Chinese power in Europe. Although they were not as good as China in terms of quality of naval development, they pursued consistency with China in terms of quantity. The total number of naval ships The tonnage has reached about 80% of China's, and it has fifteen aircraft carrier fleet battle groups, only five less than China. However, China's ten aircraft carrier battle groups are new jet fighter formations, obviously not old-fashioned fighter jets. The combat power is comparable.
Turkey, which has suddenly emerged, maintains a scale of eight aircraft carrier battle groups, and its military strength has always ranked third in the world, second only to China and Germany.
Greece and Romania are two countries that are very close to the Mediterranean Sea and Turkey controlled by China. The Germans have extended their tentacles to these two countries and are vigorously promoting the so-called Greater European Unification rhetoric in the two countries in an attempt to establish the so-called Greater European Alliance. , gradually pushing China out of Eastern Europe, and then all of Europe.
The two countries areIn recent years, it has become a representative European country that has very clearly shifted from pro-China to pro-Germany. It is also a very important geographical area. China has become uneasy and wary of their policy of leaning towards Germany.
¡°We can use economic and technological means to impose a certain degree of sanctions on Romania, Greece, and India, reduce economic and technological cooperation projects with them, and let them understand that losing China, a strategic ally that can bring them huge benefits, will have a negative impact on them. What a huge loss for them.¡±
"We want other countries in the world to see clearly what the consequences of going against China will be. It will sound a wake-up call for other countries and let those countries that are still ready to take action open their eyes and see clearly who is more important to them." Cai E continued. Said in a deep voice.
"Well, what you said makes perfect sense." Li Tiancheng lightly tapped the paper with his finger, and said firmly with a serious look: "The word "knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger" is too appropriate. Only in this way can the world truly understand our huge and powerful nature. A force that cannot be ignored, let them know how terrifying it will be when the lion of China will suddenly change its former gentle and charitable appearance and become ferocious."
"We can no longer tolerate traitors, otherwise the world will eventually turn against China. It will become increasingly difficult for us to control the situation, especially in the European regions that are traditionally controlled by Europeans. The anti-Chinese sentiment incited by Germany cannot be ignored and must not be ignored. We need to give countries like Greece and Romania a hard beating. It¡¯s time to let them know how powerful a tiger is, otherwise they who grew up in a honeypot will not know that there is still danger in this world." Li Tiancheng said at the corner of his mouth. He tilted his head slightly and said with a hint of annoyance.
What Cai E said was also a common voice that Li Tiancheng heard among the hard-liners in the military. This kind of voice had already erupted a few years ago. However, due to the long-standing friendly and cooperative relations with other countries, Li Tiancheng, on the surface, did not He maintained a certain degree of restraint and did not make any big moves, but now it seems that the situation is not optimistic. If he does not tighten the reins, the horse will run to the edge of the cliff. Sooner or later, the owner sitting on the horse will also be ruined. In this At one point, Li Tiancheng also regretted not listening to the opinions of the hard-liners in the early stage, but now his psychological balance has begun to tilt towards the hard-liners.
"Besides, India is another matter." Li Tiancheng pondered slightly, and when he talked about India, China's huge neighbor, his eyes became more and more fierce.
"The situation in India is different from that of Romania and Greece. Their geographical location is directly in the southwest border area of ??our country. If India is attracted by countries such as Germany and the United States, the forces of the second pole world will gradually penetrate into our border areas. This will It will be the first hole they open in China's surrounding areas, and it will be a huge hole, which will pose a huge threat to our country's security."
"So we still need to take more stringent measures against India." Li Tiancheng also has his own views on the Indian issue, and this idea has been taking shape and deepening in the past six months. Now, it is time to make a decision Time for determination.
"What does the president mean?" Cai E felt relieved that Li Tiancheng accepted his opinion without reservation, and immediately asked again.
¡°First, we need to send additional troops to Sri Lanka to show our determination to control the Indian Ocean absolutely and maintain a strong deterrent to the southwestern gate of India, so that the Indians will feel our presence and not dare to act recklessly.¡±
"Secondly, we must adopt the same strategy as we used against Greece and Romania to impose sanctions on their economy and technology, especially defense technology, by reducing cooperation projects, causing India to lose a number of scientific and technological progress and economic cooperation projects. , slowing down their development.¡±
"The third and most important point is to divide India." When he mentioned the third point, Li Tiancheng's eyes became even more gloomy and fierce.
Hearing this, Cai E's thick eyebrows trembled slightly, and a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes: "What is the explanation for dividing India?"
"India seems to be a whole, but in fact, the country has long been divided into two sects. One sect is for Hindu believers, and the other is for Islamic believers. The contradiction between these two sects has been long-standing. The dissatisfaction among them has become bigger and bigger, and it is likely to become more intense, and a conflict that will change the history of India may break out at any time."
"As long as we use our strength to make this gap larger and tear it apart, we might be able to add fuel to their fire and split India into several parts. We can at least use it. The relationship with the opposition faction that believes in Islam has firmly inserted itself into this region, making the Indians feel the embarrassment of being besieged on all sides. Then when they join forces with Germany to attack us, they will carefully consider their own safety. problem, so that we dare not easily make decisions that violate the stability of Sino-Indian relations.? act. "Li Tiancheng responded solemnly.
"Oh, how can you imagine that the domestic conflicts in India have reached the point where water and fire are incompatible?" Cai E does not know much about India's domestic affairs in detail, and of course does not know as much as Li Tiancheng, who understands the history of the separation of India and Pakistan.
"There was a political figure in northwest India called Muhammad Ali Jinnah. He was a very active politician in India. He was born into a wealthy businessman family. He was well-educated and knowledgeable. He once served in the Indian National Congress. He held office, but later he was dissatisfied with the non-cooperation program of Congress Chairman Gandhi and others, and angrily quit the Congress Party." Li Tiancheng continued to say calmly after thinking about it.
"This man is a Muslim who is different from Hindus in India. He once proposed that Hindus and Muslims in India are two different nations. In the early years, he fought for Muslims to win seats in the Congress Party. Later, he also proposed The idea of ??allowing Muslims to evacuate India was frustrated by the suppression of Gandhi and others."
"But this man has been active on the political stage, striving to win more public support for the independence of Muslim regions outside India. Now he is causing uproar and uproar in India, and has become a thorn in the eyes of the Indian public of the Congress Party. , a thorn in the flesh, to the point where it had to be removed." Li Tiancheng briefly described some of Jinnah's past experiences in one breath.
When Cai E heard this, he seemed to have understood something: "What the president means is that we should use the deep-seated contradictions between Jinnah's faction and the Congress Party led by Gandhi to divide India and drive Muslims out of India, so as to achieve the goal of The purpose of dismembering India?¡±
"Yes, Jinnah is very talented. He is a courageous and knowledgeable man of action. He dares to challenge the authority of the old system. He is a friend worth making." Li Tiancheng nodded approvingly and said: "If we take the initiative to throw out Olive branch, I believe that Jinnah, who is being strongly suppressed by Gandhi, will definitely feel that a long drought is coming, and they will be very grateful for our support and assistance. By then, as long as we help the Muslims successfully form their * * country, then the friendly relations between us and Jinnah will be able to be maintained for a long time, and we can achieve our grand strategic layout of establishing a clampdown around India."
"This is really a good idea, but doing so will inevitably break up with India and part ways with Gandhi, because the most taboo thing for Indians is someone supporting the ** forces in their country." Although I think Li Tiancheng's words are very reasonable, but A hint of worry suddenly appeared on Cai E's face.
Most countries that have established diplomatic relations with India have promised Gandhi not to support Muslim forces in India. Only in this way can they maintain good diplomatic relations with India. The same is true for countries such as Germany and the United States, which will never touch India's bottom line. , if any country does this, it will inevitably arouse great anger and resistance in India, and may cause a huge dilemma in the relationship between the two countries, or even the outbreak of war.
Li Tiancheng naturally understands this. His idea is to follow the three points he proposed step by step. Which step he takes will depend on the situation. If India is smarter and understands what China means, it can do so in a timely manner. Stop, then there is no need to carry out the second and third steps of the plan, otherwise Li Tiancheng will make up his mind to hit India hard and make him completely dizzy.
"We can secretly carry out joint activities with Jinnah, but do not openly carry out such obvious political confrontation activities, but once India continues to obsessively fall towards the European and American bipolar world, then we will not be polite. Anyway, sooner or later he will be completely In the arms of Europeans and Americans, why don't we put this issue on the table long ago to solve it." Li Tiancheng responded thoughtfully.
"Well, although doing this is detrimental to the stability of Sino-Indian relations and will cause unpredictable turmoil in our country's southwest border, I think it is not a bad idea. The consistent arrogance will make these third-pole countries become more and more incompatible with us. Going in the opposite direction, it's time to strike hard." After listening to Li Tiancheng's words, Cai E's eyes became firm again and he nodded solemnly.
The two continued to discuss international relations for a while, and reached relatively consistent opinions on relations with Turkey, India and other countries. The next thing is to take these suggestions to the Democratic Party for extensive solicitation of opinions and see if there are any other options. There are no additional suggestions or new perspectives. But generally speaking, Li Tiancheng's plan to make the biggest post-war move in international relations has been firmly rooted in his mind. If there is opposition, he will definitely put it into effect against all opinions. .
Although the moderate faction within the party suggested continuing to maintain the status quo to avoid causing greater turmoil internationally, Li Tiancheng had made up his mind. According to Li Tiancheng's proposals and instructions, 1936 soon became the center of Chinese diplomacy. The most active year in history.
First of all, Defense Minister Cai E took the initiative to visit Tš¹rkiye and let TurkeyHe felt flattered, and the international comments were very surprised and diverse, but everyone can guess that China, as a super existence in the first-pole world, can conduct friendly exchanges with other countries in a low profile, must have some great thinking in the top management. changes, but where exactly this change will go and how much impact it will have on international relations are still being discussed heatedly by international observers from various countries. Everything has to wait for China's follow-up actions to gradually make China's new strategy becomes clearer.
Subsequently, Chinese high-level officials frequently visited foreign countries, allowing the world to truly see the tremendous changes in Chinese thinking. Several core leaders of the Democratic Party, including Li Tiancheng, went abroad this year and visited Turkey, Bulgaria, and Serbia. , Brazil, Argentina, Poland, Colombia, Australia and many other countries across several continents and oceans, have begun to actively strengthen friendly and cooperative relations between China and these countries.
Many countries that have been visited and reciprocated by Chinese high-level officials have received the cakes of economic and technological assistance promised by China, which surprised them. The economic and technological cards played by China have gradually come into play.
And the whole world is gradually becoming clear about China's intentions. China is trying its best to consolidate friendly relations with countries within the German-American power group and with external countries, and is trying to attack the regional relations that the German-American power group has been operating for a long time from both internal and external aspects.
