After a temporary silence, Duqiwei turned his gaze to Mrs. Lobrin...

Although whenever there is a major problem, Duchway would first seek Mrs. Lobring's opinion, no one thought that Duchway was the president of Landers who had no independent decision-making ability. In the eyes of many officials and staff who were proficient in power, Duchway demonstrated the importance of Mrs. Lobring everywhere, not because Mrs. Lobring is more suitable for living in the White House than him, but because she has something to ask for Mrs. Lobring.

To put it bluntly, if Ducheway wants to become a president like Franklin Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson who leads the United States to win the world war, he must need a strong supporter. Because Ducheway is a president of military origin, what he needs is not a military assistant like a famous American general in World War I and a military chief of staff in Marshall during World War II, but an administrative assistant like Kissinger and Albright, who were very famous American Secretary of State after World War II.

It can be seen from this that Mrs. Lobring plays the role of "gods and good men" in this administration.

The so-called "knowing yourself and knowing others" can only win every battle, but knowing yourself is often more important than knowing others.

If you don’t even know how much he is, how much he is. How can you start with winning every battle? As a soldier, Du Qiwei cannot be unclear about the reason, so before he makes his position, he has to listen to the vice president’s opinion.

"If the information is not correct, the war is probably about to break out. As early as the year, the latest," Mrs. Lobring breathed a long sigh, her eyes stayed on the president for half a second before continuing, "At the latest, it will be early next year."

Duqiwei nodded quietly and waited for Mrs. Lobring to continue.

The president's attitude made other participants shut up. Everyone knows that now is the time to listen to the vice president's views, not the time to express their opinions.

"Sixteen years ago, before the artillery fire of the Middle East War dissipated, we suspected that the Chinese authorities had made a general judgment on the future situation. We believed that war would be inevitable. The problem was that we did not know at that time that the Chinese authorities would face the world war so actively." Mrs. Lobring sighed and continued, "It was not until eight years ago that we realized that even if we voluntarily retreated or even voluntarily gave up global hegemony. As long as the United States of America is still a unified and complete power and there is hope for revival, war will be inevitable. Driven by technology, when the price of war becomes affordable, the arms race will evolve into a world war in just a few years. To this point, retreating is equivalent to admitting failure and actively giving up the right to defend the country. We have no choice but to face challenges bravely. The problem is that the war is approaching much faster than we expected."

After President Hunting made a speech, the conference room suddenly became quiet.

"At the beginning of last year, when we were still actively planning for the election, China almost triggered a war. According to confirmed information, if Russia's strategic forces had not entered combat readiness in advance, China's election for the change of term was about to begin. I'm afraid the world war had already erupted when the Russian army entered Astana." Speaking of this, Mrs. Lobring's expression had become very serious. "I don't want to evaluate the merits and demerits of previous governments. But we must admit that it is absolutely the stupidest act to abide by and even secretly support Russia in provoking China, which is equivalent to pushing the United States to the crater. No matter we are

Is it willing to accept it? The Chinese authorities must know that the secret alliance treaty we signed with Russia will equate Russia with us. That is to say, as long as the Chinese authorities decide to attack Russia, Moscow will definitely not be the one who will be defeated. Since the beginning of this year, China has accelerated its preparations for war and has become more proactive in major international affairs. Although China's foreign strategy has been restrained in the first two months due to the transfer of power, from last month, especially after this month, as Pei Chengyi successfully moved into the capital, China's war strategy has once again surfaced."

"The problem is that China does not move early or late, why does it carry out military mobilization at this time?" Admiral Philip interrupted and asked when Mrs. Lobring paused to drink water.

Director Holyfield wanted to answer. Seeing the look handed over by the president, he closed his mouth again.

"It's very simple. Just yesterday, Chiliakov held a high-level meeting of more than ten hours in the Kremlin." Mrs. Lobring glanced at Holyfield and Lewis. She said with a smile, "What decision did the Russian President make at this meeting? Perhaps the Chinese leader knows better than us. Of course, even without intelligence support, we can make a general judgment. To be honest, if we sit on the crater, Russia is rolling in the magma. As long as Chiliakov is the iron-fisted leader who executed hundreds of Chechen militants back then, he should know. What Russia needs to do is not how to drive Chinese forces out of Central Asia, but how to protect and save themselves. From this, it can be concluded that the Russian authorities have made decisions and will take action soon."

Although Mrs. Lobring did not provide any evidence, no one opposed her views.

"It is not difficult to understand why our country has carried out military mobilization today. To be honest, we must recognize the efficiency of China's intelligence aircraft." Mrs. Lobring smiled bitterly and said, "If my judgment is not wrong, the Chinese authorities are only facing Russia's war.

"There was an adjustment on the edge. There was no mobilization on the warehouse. The strategic mobility of the Yifeng National Army would not be adjusted immediately, and there was no need to deploy in advance."

"You mean, the Chinese authorities do not intend to launch an attack on their own initiative?" At this time, Du Qiwei asked.

"While this question should be answered by our generals and intelligence officials, I think there is really no reason for the Chinese authorities to take the initiative to launch an attack.

Duqi nodded slightly, waiting for Mrs. Lobring to continue.

Although the vice president said something a bit too much, when he saw the president's appearance, several generals and intelligence officials were patient and did not say anything.

"The key is not strength. In terms of strength, ten Russias are not China's opponents. In any case, the Chinese authorities have always regarded us as the number one opponent, and everything they do is to defeat us as their ultimate goal. If Russia was an ordinary country, even a regional power, China would have taken action long ago. Don't forget that thirty years ago, Japan and India were both regional powers. Because Russia was very special, the Chinese authorities have repeatedly tolerated on the issue of Russia. Imagine that even if we did not sign a secret alliance treaty with Russia, would the Sino-Russian War be a local war? Now we are on the same front as Russia, and the Chinese authorities must consider the nature of the war against Russia. In other words, before deciding to go to war with us, the Chinese authorities will not attack Russia."

"Does the Chinese authorities attack the world and plan to start a war against us?"

After looking at the national security adviser Cannon Bridge, Mrs. Lobring smiled and said, "Of course not. If the Chinese authorities were confident that they would defeat us in a preemptive way and win quickly, they would have taken action long ago and would not delay it until now. In the long-term war of attrition, because neither side could accurately judge the outcome of the war, or in other words, they were not sure of winning, so both sides would be restrained and would never rashly declare war on each other. Wars are often caused by some irrelevant factors, and World War I and World War II were both caused by indirect factors. The problem is, now

The situation is very different from the previous two world wars. The comprehensive national strength of the two superpowers far exceeds that of other countries. Other countries seem powerless to dominate the situation, making the superpowers more prominent in the war. In other words, the superpowers become more unscrupulous in the favorable situation. It is obvious that the advantage is not in our hands. The war has not yet broken out. It is not that the Chinese authorities have not seen the key points clearly, nor that China does not have an advantage, but that it lacks a necessary condition. At least for China, it will not act rashly before clarifying Russia's position."

The last sentence, Mrs. Lobring did not say it, but her meaning was very clear.

"If that's true, even this condition is met now

"Since the war will break out soon, we have to make a decision as soon as possible." Duchway looked at Stark and turned his eyes to Mrs. Lobrin. He said, "I have the same feeling that the Chinese leaders have been waiting for a suitable opportunity. When Russia was making trouble in Kazakhstan last year, we thought the war would break out, but the Chinese authorities endured it and did not take the opportunity to attack. In addition to the reasons mentioned at the beginning, I think there is another main reason,

That is, the Chinese authorities do not want to be enemies with Russia. At least they will not take the initiative to get into evil with Russia unless they are absolutely necessary. Affected by this, when Russia brazenly sent troops to Kazakhstan, the Chinese authorities still had a slight illusion and planned to stabilize Russia with the Jingnai policy, but it had a countermeasure, which made Russia make an active decision to prepare for war under suspicion. In this way, the Chinese authorities have no choice but to regard Russia as an enemy, and it is the main enemy.

.

What happened today just shows that China's military preparations before this were not fully in place."

"The question is, will the Chinese authorities provoke a war?"

It can be said that the words Mrs. Lobring said clearly stated the key points.

The participants were all military and political leaders, and it was impossible not to know the importance of it. Although before that, everyone was eager to try and expressed their opinions. But when it comes to the key points, everyone was silent.

"This is also something we must figure out today. Du Qiwei smiled faintly, knowing that the politicians and generals have retreated and did not give others a chance to speak, and then said. "In terms of strength alone, eight years ago, even if China would pay a heavy price for victory, the confidence to win is still more than 80%. According to my personal judgment, if the advantages are obvious, it is not only proved that the Chinese authorities do not want to pay too much for victory. It is also enough to prove that the Chinese leaders are confident that they can win at a smaller price, and what they need to pay for is only a little time. To this point, we must first admit that in recent years, the gap between us and China has not only not shortened, but has even widened a little. Of course, we cannot ignore another important issue.

"Head of State? Mrs. Lobrin immediately frowned.

"It is undeniable that Yan Jingyu is a very talented politician and can even be regarded as a rare leader. According to the information obtained by uranium more than ten years ago, when he was still in the local area, Yan Chaiyu was valued by Wang Yuanqing, and Wang Yuanqing himself determined to be the successor of China's head of state. Although during his tenure, Yan Jingyu did not do much, as many people think that even Gu Weimin is not as good as Gu Weimin. But objectively speaking, without Yan Yi, there would be no current China, and there would be no threat of a world war. To be honest, it is precisely a series of pragmatic policies implemented by Yan Jingyu that consolidated the economic foundation laid by Gu Weimin, alleviated domestic conflicts in China, and further enhanced China's war potential.

.It is precisely because Yan Jingyu promoted Pei Chengyi to deputy head of state during his second term. He determined Pei Chengyi's position in Chinese politics and laid the foundation for Pei Chengyi to come to power this year. In other words, the Chinese leaders realized five years ago, that is, during the last election, that the opportunity to start a war would come five years later. It must be admitted that if we talk about leadership during the war, especially the ability of military commanders, no one can compare to Pei Chengyi. Don't say that we can clearly see this problem, even those reporters who can only catch the wind and shadow can realize that Pei Chengyi's coming to power is a clear signal that the war is about to break out. Otherwise, at the end of last month, there would not be so many reporters going to the Xindu of China."

After saying this in one breath, Duqiwei drank a whole cup of coffee in one sip, and the others pretended to pick up the cup.

"The problem is that Pei Chengyi is not an adventurous. According to the information we have, he is actually a steady and pragmatic politician, and even before taking off his military uniform, he is a steady and pragmatic soldier."

Duchway nodded to Mrs. Lobrin and said, "It is true. From my understanding, Pei Chengyi has nothing to do with the idealists and is a complete realist."

"Since that's the case," Mrs. Lobring immediately frowned, not seeming to figure out what Duchwit meant.

"This is what makes me feel cold on my back." Du Qiwei breathed a sigh of relief and said. "As we all know, idealists will take risks for their ideals, and will forget dangers when taking risks, make mistakes, and give their opponents an opportunity to take advantage of. Realists will not take risks easily. Or, realists do not have a clear purpose, and even if they have one, they will not show it. Therefore, realists will fight to the best interests and will be extremely cautious when taking actions. Never mind.

Easy to create opportunities for opponents. Before taking off his military uniform, Pei Chengyi was a realist, especially in the Middle East War, and his pragmatic spirit was very obvious. Imagine that under his command, China would be better to deal with, or more difficult to deal with? In terms of my personal feelings, China has become more elusive. Let’s not talk about other things for now, after all, he has just taken office. He has not received many opportunities to perform. Just based on what happened today, if it is just to deal with Russia,

Is it necessary to allocate military power so much before taking action? Rockville, Philip, will you do this? Anyway, if I were asked to arrange it, I would not do this. You must know that the infrastructure in China's local northwest and northeast regions, especially the transportation infrastructure, is very developed. North Korea's transportation network is also well connected, and both places have large cities with populations of more than one million, as well as supporting military bases, plus the Chinese army, especially

Is it necessary for the Chinese Army to transport materials to the front line in advance with its unparalleled strategic mobility? Sixteen years ago, the Chinese army was able to raid thousands of kilometers and launch the Middle East war with a sudden attack. Sixteen years have passed, is the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army not increasing but declining? Instead, it is not as good as sixteen years ago? All signs show that what happened today is never simple. Not only has it been planned long ago, but it is closely related to the Chinese authorities, or Pei Chengyi's real purpose."

"In other words, China may not take the initiative to attack Russia?" Stark asked in front of others.

Du Qiwei sighed, shook his head, and said, "If it is really so simple, Pei Chengyi is not the strategic genius who has caused us to lose several times. Of course, we cannot deny this possibility. After all, with China's traditional thinking, war has a difference between justice and injustice. The justice side will eventually win. Although this strategic thinking is used to deceive people, especially to deceive the common people, it is affected by it. The Chinese authorities must consider the justice of the war. In other words, if Russia can provoke a war, it will not only be beneficial to China, but also to the Chinese authorities. The problem is that the Chinese authorities can completely abandon this concept. Pei Chengyi is originally a person who does not play according to the rules. In other words.

It is impossible for us to accurately judge the intentions of the Chinese authorities. In this way, we cannot take the right response. To put it bluntly, if we think that the Chinese authorities will provoke a war, they should actively assist Russia, so that the situation in Russia will be out of control and eventually let Russia fire the first shot. If the situation is completely opposite, we have to adopt the opposite strategy. That is, suppress Russia and prevent Russia from acting rashly; regardless of whether this can produce positive results, even if it can, it will affect Russia's defense strength, thus creating an opportunity for China to defeat Russia in one fell swoop. Perhaps there is a third, or even the fourth possibility, the only thing that remains unchanged is that we can only deal with it passively."

Du Qiwei said this, and no matter how stupid a person is, he could hear the president's implication.
