After being silent for more than ten minutes, Li Pingkou knocked on the table, breaking the depressing silence.

"Since things have happened, or are about to happen, we should look longer." Li Pingkoo said, lit the cigarette. In fact, he quit smoking three years ago and did not hesitate at all when lit it. "No matter what you think, the current situation is extremely serious for us, and in the foreseeable future, we will face more severe challenges. From now on, we'd better give up all fantasies and start from the worst outcome, and prepare for the world war in five or ten years. Before making political decisions, I want to hear your opinions, especially the opinions of the military representatives."

After saying that, Li Ping Kou glanced at Huang Hanlin.

The Prime Minister did not speak, just nodded.

The situation is very obvious, but the United States is willing to arm India at all costs, just to turn India into a battlefield behind enemy lines. If World War III broke out before 2050, even if Russia is not considered, China will fight on both sides. As a politician, it is impossible not to understand the powerful relationship.

Teng Yaohui coughed dryly and kicked Mu Haoyang.

Although Teng Yaohui is the Chief of Staff, in three years, the military affairs will have nothing to do with him, so he feels that Mu Haoyang should speak on behalf of the military.

"If we start from the worst outcome, our situation is very unfavorable." Mu Haoyang glanced at Teng Yaohui and continued, "Before the outbreak of the war against Japan, we made an accurate judgment on the future international situation. After Japan fell, a full-scale war with the United States will inevitably be inevitable. However, for the past decade, we have always believed that the United States did not have the ability to defeat us before 2055, so we believe that the world war will only start after this. So far, I still believe this judgment, and through what has happened in recent years, especially during the global disaster period, our comparison with the United States, even after 2055, the United States still does not have enough obvious advantages in comprehensive national strength. As long as we do not make serious mistakes in grand strategy, defeating the United States is only a matter of determination and time."

Mu Haoyang's analysis is very rational, his tone is also very calm, and he seems very convincing.

"Unfortunately, the situation has changed now, and war is likely to break out in advance. My point is that before making a strategic judgment, we must first work on intelligence and figure out the basic national conditions of the United States, especially the basic situation of key areas that have direct impact on wars, such as economy, technology and industry. Only after grasping the basic situation of the United States can we make an accurate judgment on whether the United States will launch a war in advance."

"The Military Intelligence Agency has made arrangements and is working hard to collect US intelligence."

Li Pingko smiled and waited for Li Mingyang to finish speaking, and then said: "Information is indeed crucial, so I suggest that we use the Military Intelligence Bureau as the core to integrate our intelligence agencies and enhance our intelligence collection capabilities. Comrade Li Mingyang will take the lead in reporting intelligence work regularly."

Neither Huang Hanlin nor Du Xiaolei expressed opposition. Originally, the Military Intelligence Bureau was the number one intelligence agency, and Li Mingyang was also Li Pingkou's number one intelligence consultant, so it was reasonable to make Li Mingyang take charge of intelligence work. More importantly, at this time, there is no need to sing a counter-tune with Li Pingkou.

"Now, we have to make an assumption." Li Pingkoo raised a finger and looked at Mu Haoyang and said, "If the United States has made a decisive breakthrough in certain key areas, such as overcoming the difficulties of controlled fusion technology, and can catch up with us in a short time, and be confident that it will gain a more obvious advantage before 2050, then the United States will have the foundation to launch a world war."

"In this case, world wars will inevitably be inevitable."

Li Pingko smiled and asked Mu Haoyang to continue talking.

"From a military perspective, we must first avoid fighting on both sides." Mu Haoyang paused for a moment, because his next words were very important. "If it is unavoidable, my point of view is that we would rather be passive in the early stages of the war than fight on both sides in order to gain the initiative. The reason is very simple. If we are forced to fight on both sides, we may not have the chance to turn the situation around."

"So, do you advocate taking proactive measures against India, or even launching a war to eliminate the potential threat of fighting on both sides?"

Mu Haoyang hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Li Pingkou nodded thoughtfully and looked at Huang Hanlin.

"If we want to avoid fighting on both sides, we have to face more than India." Huang Hanlin sighed and said, "From the situation in recent years, Russia and the United States are getting closer and closer. Although we are very rational in our policy towards Russia, we have given up the opportunity to enter Central Asia, and have not cooperated closely with Mongolia, no one can guarantee that Russia will not turn to the United States, especially when the United States has grasped the strategic initiative and gained strategic advantages, Russia will not take the lead. Compared with India, Russia's military strength is much stronger and the threat is much greater."

"So, we are likely to fight on the third line?"

Huang Hanlin smiled bitterly. This was the last thing he wanted to mention.

"Since that's the case, the Indian problem must be solved. Don't forget that the United States has unique geographical advantages, but we don't. When we have to consider the third-line combat, the United States does not have to worry about local security. In such an unfavorable situation, if we want to win a full-scale war, we must first solve one or two enemies." Li Ping Kou Chaomu Haoyang glanced at Mu Haoyang and said, "As the Deputy Chief of Staff said, even if we have to be passively beaten in the early stages of the war, as long as we can avoid fighting on both sides, we have the opportunity to turn the situation around, and fighting on both sides,

At the same time as the third-line war, it will only increase our war consumption and make us lose the opportunity to turn defeat into victory. From the perspective of a total war, our strategy to India is no longer a bilateral issue or a peripheral issue, but a question of whether we can still stand firm in a few years, or more than ten years later. My opinion is to start now and empower the military to prepare for a total war, including the formulation of a strategic plan. If our speculation is confirmed, then action must be taken within five years, that is, before the end of 2045."

Huang Hanlin immediately frowned, but did not immediately object.

"Of course, this is just a preliminary resolution. What should I do? It will take a few months to obtain more accurate information before the decision can be made."

"In this case, it's best not to expand the news for the time being." Du Xiaolei said.

Huang Hanlin then breathed a sigh of relief, because this was what he wanted to say. Since Du Xiaolei mentioned it, there was no need for him to come forward in person.

Li Pingkoo smiled and said, "This is of course, but the preparations must be carried out immediately. In response to the worst outcome, the General Staff must come up with a combat plan as soon as possible."

"No problem, I'll take responsibility for it myself." Teng Yaohui agreed immediately, and after saying that, he kicked Mu Haoyang.

This made Mu Haoyang a little annoyed, because Teng Yaohui promised to be relaxed, and he had to be responsible for the specific work, and Teng Yaohui didn't have to worry about it at all.

"If there is no problem, today's meeting will end here." Li Pingkoo stood up first, and waited until the others stood up before saying to Mu Haoyang, "Deputy Chief of Staff, don't rush to leave. I have to discuss with you some matters related to the military budget."

Military budget? Mu Haoyang is a little confused, which is obviously an excuse.

After the others left, Li Pingkoo nodded to Mu Haoyang and took him to the study.

"Head of the People's Republic of China, budget arrangement..."

"It seems that you don't agree with the decision I started?"

"this……"

Li Pingko smiled and asked Mu Haoyang to sit down first before saying, "You must have some concerns, and I can guess what you are worried about."

Mu Haoyang forced a smile, knowing that he was not the kind of person who could hide things in his heart.

"If I guess correctly, you think that our voluntary war on India will be the fundamental reason for the United States to launch a world war before 2050."

"this……"

"It seems that I'm not wrong, you do have this concern."

Mu Haoyang sighed secretly, the head of state was indeed not wrong.

"In fact, this is also the thing I worry about the most, because your judgment is very accurate. If we do not start war with India before 2045, the United States will unlikely launch a war within five years, because India will not have a real strategic threat until at least 2050. Don't be afraid that you don't believe it. It is not only the two of us who hold the same viewpoint, but also Premier Huang Hanlin and Foreign Minister Du Xiaolei."

"But……"

"They didn't say it because they knew there was no need to say it, and you think so."

"With that being the case, why do we still make the decision to start a war against India before 2045?"

"It's not a decision, it's just a plan." Li Pingko first corrected Mu Haoyang's statement, "Of course, if the information provided by Li Mingyang is not wrong, it's very likely that it's a decision. But have you ever thought about what consequences would be if we don't start a war with India?"

"We will lose the World War without a doubt."

"That's right, are there any questions?"

Mu Haoyang was stunned and said, "Is there no other solution?"

"Do you have one?"

"this……"

"I can't think of it if you are not afraid of you making a joke." Li Pingkoo smiled and said, "In terms of strategy, we are one step behind the United States, and it is almost impossible to recover it. For us, the best choice is to disrupt the United States' strategic deployment, even if the United States adopts a backup plan. If everything develops according to the United States' deployment, as you said, we will definitely lose."

"Even so, the chances of winning are not very big."

"It's better than not having a chance of winning, right? As a soldier, you should consider how to win this war, rather than doubting whether we can win this war."

Mu Haoyang nodded to show that he understood what Li Pingko meant.

"Okay, it's getting late, so I won't delay you going home for dinner. Remember, make your plan as soon as possible, and I will call you from time to time to urge you."

"Okay, then I'll say goodbye."

Li Pingko did not send Mu Haoyang, and they would definitely meet often anyway.
