Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The next day, Qi Yiming still attended a special meeting as a soy sauce, and China and the United States discussed and exchanged views on the follow-up to the Sino-Soviet border conflict.  [. First published] Because it involves so much, the United States also attaches great importance to it. Not only did Secretary of State Shultz fly directly from the Soviet Union to the capital, but the US military also sent many heavyweights to attend.

    Because the spaceship incident is still unknown to most countries in the world, China, the United States and the Soviet Union are also trying their best to stifle the truth of the matter, as if this war never happened.  Maybe a few big countries in NATO have some clues about this, but the United States must have given it a heads-up, so everyone knows it well and won't say it out loud. As for most small countries and countries that are far away and have low technological levels, they are naturally confused.  In the drum.

    The two parties sat on opposite sides. Qi Yiming sat in an inconspicuous position like an ordinary note-taking clerk, not raising his head very much, as if he was an unimportant person.

    Schultz started out clearly, first expressing his admiration and approval for the China Alliance (Hey, when did it become an alliance? Isn¡¯t it a quasi-alliance?) for kicking the Soviet Union¡¯s ass. Then he expressed his appreciation for the Chinese Alliance¡¯s outstanding military capabilities.  admiration and appreciation for our capabilities, and finally look forward to what kind of situation the two countries can open up in the future together.  Although the statements are very diplomatic and quite formulaic, the purpose they express is quite clear through these.

    Foreign Minister Wu Xuejian also responded incidentally: "Our country's determination and will to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity is beyond doubt. At the same time, our country is also willing to fulfill its positive obligations in maintaining world peace and stability, and human prosperity and development.  China also appreciates the calm attitude and methods shown by the United States in this incident, and expresses its gratitude to the United States for its efforts to mediate the incident.¡±

    Schultz climbed up the ladder and immediately revealed the real purpose of their visit. He said: "The Chinese alliance bravely resisted the Soviet army and achieved remarkable results. This is not only the glory of all our alliances, but also should be  It will become an important experience to guide us in dealing with the Soviets in the future. I hope that the Chinese side can compile a copy of the relevant process and details of this war and hand it over to us. The allies of the United States and NATO will make good use of it and learn from it.  its."

    China and the Soviet Union were at war. Although it was unclear how much force each side used, there was no doubt that China won. And judging from the performance of the Soviet Union, China won very simply, which made the always arrogant Mao Xiong look as if he had eaten cakes.  .  As a result, many people in the United States laughed at the Soviet Union as a powerful foreign country that could bully even backward countries like China. They were no longer worthy of being the global enemy of the United States.  However, more sober think tank experts and military personnel have seen China¡¯s remarkable achievements in the defense industry in recent years. Based on China¡¯s stunning performance in the Korean rebellion, the Pacific Rim military exercises and other occasions, they believe that there is reason to believe that  China has achieved certain results in the new round of military reforms and used this as an advantage to defeat the Soviet Union.

    Therefore, it is even more necessary for the United States to grasp the details of this war, understand what happened, how China fought the Soviet Union, and what lessons it can learn from.  So Schultz and his colleagues made obtaining war information their top priority, and the words they said to appease and encourage China were all incidental.

    Qi Yiming is not surprised at all that the United States has made such a request. China and the United States have not signed a formal alliance treaty, and there is no mandatory intelligence sharing obligation. Therefore, the United States must either push for the signing of a military alliance treaty between China and the United States, or it can find something.  To exchange benefits.  However, the alliance treaty requires a higher level of intelligence. To promote its signing, there must be some interests entangled in it.  Judging from China's current diplomatic strategy and route, the possibility of clearly signing a military alliance with the United States is very low, and the Americans themselves know this.

    Wu Xuejian also responded seriously: "We are willing to pass on some relevant information to our US partners on the premise of not violating relevant laws and regulations. We are also willing to discuss and study future military development and development with relevant US scholars and experts.  Issues related to reform. Well, in order to resist the Soviet Union, this time we spent a budget that exceeded our scale and our own capabilities, causing further normal changes and progressive reforms in our country, and even the development and revitalization of the national finance and national economy.  It has a huge impact, so we also hope to get further and deeper help from the United States.¡±

    Schultz and the US members were not surprised at all by China's "blackmail". On the contrary, it would be strange if China did not ask for money.  Of course, the United States, which is rich and wealthy, is also willing to spend some money to attract a younger brother and keep an eye on the east side of the Soviet Union. The strategic benefits to the United States are self-evident.

    ¡°Quite a few people in the Pentagon believe that it is a very cost-effective deal to pay a large sum of military expenditures to China to instigate them to fight with the Soviet Union and learn more about the actual combat level of the Soviet army against the established forces.  But now without their instigation, China and the Soviet UnionIf there was a real fight, how could Americans not be excited?  A large amount of information money is used to buy intelligence. From the Secretary of Defense to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, no idiot would think it is not a good deal.

    However, it was impossible for Schultz to spend a lot of money at once, and he tentatively proposed: "We in the United States of America are willing to fully support the Chinese alliance's contribution to the just cause. This time we are willing to pay a sum of 30 million to China.  dollars in military aid, which can be paid immediately.¡±

    Wu Xuejian frowned. He didn't expect that the United States would only ask for 30 million US dollars when it opened its mouth. This was really just sending a beggar away.  Qi Yiming showed him a list before the meeting. It was the ammunition, supplies and depreciation expenses consumed by only one unit of the 309th Division in the entire war. He knew that Qi Yiming must have mixed it with water, but it was still quite scary.  It can't be settled with thirty million dollars.

    "We would like to thank our American friends for their kindness, but we are disrespectful. However, this is still a drop in the bucket compared to what we spent in several weeks of war." Without saying anything, you can guess the meaning behind it.

    A Pentagon staff officer raised objections: "As we all know, China's weapons, equipment and related products have always been low-priced. We understand China's mood, but saying that the US$30 million is a drop in the bucket is probably an exaggeration."

    Wu Xuejian pulled out a list. This was not the original version given to him by Qi Yiming, but a modified version after Qi Yiming explained it. Because it involved a lot of things that needed to be kept secret from the Yankees, this list  There is falsehood among truth, and there is truth among falsehood.

    "Here is the total consumption of a main force in our war within a few weeks. It covers ammunition supply, depreciation, etc., as well as equipment losses and personnel pensions. It excludes transportation-related expenses, etc. After you read it, you will know that it is  It's not a drop in the bucket. Haha, but this list itself is part of the intelligence information, and I can't hand it over to you yet." A group of Americans stared at the piece of paper and felt itchy. Although it is just a list of material consumption, from this point on.  A lot can be seen from just one piece of paper.

    For example, how much firepower the Chinese used to defeat the Soviets, how much the Chinese suffered, and what the Chinese's troop mix and equipment were like. Its value is naturally immeasurable. Several Pentagon generals looked at Wu Xuejian  The piece of paper he waved made him want to snatch it off.

    Schultz was also quite eager, but if he wanted to get that piece of paper and more, he would have no hope of getting it without some blood. He thought about it and calculated his bottom line, but he still didn't say the highest one.  The upper limit, said: "Okay, we agree to provide China with a military aid of 200 million U.S. dollars, but it needs to be paid in installments. At the same time, we will also inquire about more details and hope that China can cooperate with us in research. We  We also hope to inspect the battlefield conditions and learn about the process face-to-face from the war participants. In addition, we hope that 30% of this military assistance will be used to purchase US-made weapons from our country¡¯s defense contractors.¡±

    Qi Yiming, who was sitting on the side, glanced at the US Secretary of State, and secretly said that he was indeed a veteran. Although US$200 million was a lot, it was just a drop in the bucket for the United States, but the value of what could be exchanged was significant, not to mention the fact that  Also pay in installments.  Moreover, part of it will be transferred back to the United States' own arms dealers, which can be regarded as keeping the money in the hands of outsiders. By the way, relevant opportunities can be used to further spy on China's military intelligence.  This abacus is crackling, and China¡¯s diplomats really need to learn from it.

    This negotiation was a back and forth between you and me. Wu Xuejian immediately proposed that installment payment was acceptable, but the military aid had to be increased to US$500 million, and the first payment must reach more than US$50 million.  In addition, he rejected the request to inspect the battlefield and interview soldiers on the spot. This is not impossible. There is indeed a risk of leaks, but Wu Xuejian regarded it more as part of the bargaining. Some of them can be allowed.  But you have to get more stuff in exchange.

    As for the purchase of U.S. equipment, Wu Xuejian was also unambiguous. On the one hand, he demanded that the proportion of military aid be reduced. On the other hand, he also presented several military models proposed by Qi Yiming and insisted on including a licensed production certificate.

    Among them, what Qi Yiming most hopes to get is the Army Aviation's -47 Chinook 22-ton helicopter, plus the carrier-based anti-submarine aircraft S-3 and the carrier-based transport aircraft-2.  If possible, Qi Yiming also hopes to collect a bunch of junk from the United States. If he can use the repair shop to improve the life extension, he can continue to use it. If not, he can directly use it as snacks for the crushing crane in exchange for new equipment or something -

    47 has already been licensed to Kawasaki in Japan, and there is nothing wrong with licensing it to China for production.  However, the United States soon required China to purchase 12 Chinooks before it was allowed to obtain a license to produce them. Each Chinook cost US$10 million, or a total price of 120 million, which accounted for the military aid requested by China.  a large part of.

    As for s-3 and -2, and so on.?There is no aircraft carrier, so there is no real need for it.  The United States, on the other hand, thought that China was dismantling and selling the scraps for money, so it did some research on them, relaxed a little, and agreed to outsource to China some contracts for the disposal of decommissioned or semi-decommissioned military equipment.  .
