Ivanov asked: "Is there any good way for Prime Minister Peter? The rise of China is now unstoppable, and even the Americans have not stopped their rise, let alone our Russia."

The ministers couldn't help but nodded. Although their president was a little weak, he had a keen eye on major international issues.

"The legacy we have inherited is almost exhausted. In the past few years, our physical enterprises have gone from bad to worse, and arms exports have declined year after year. Now we mainly rely on energy exports to support our fragile economy. Under the current situation, we Unilaterally, there is no ability to stop the rise of China. To do this, we must unite with the United States. After all, China is not strong enough now. We must try our best to delay their pace of becoming the world's first-tier power. Russia buys time. At the same time, we will strengthen the industrial restructuring of domestic enterprises. Although we cannot imagine being on an equal footing with China in terms of economic strength, at least we must ensure the integrity of our country’s current territory.”

Although Russian politicians are not like the American government, there are some big conglomerates standing behind each of them, but politics is so mysterious, and they also have their own forces behind them.

Text No. 63 Chapter [-] Maintain the status quo

As soon as military expenditures were mentioned, Minister of Defense Chase immediately became nervous. He had also thought that if the government wanted to cut expenditures, it would use military expenditures first. The big arms dealers discussed this matter, and finally reached a relatively unanimous opinion, that is, to allow cuts in military spending, but the range should not be too large, at most 15.00%, any more will affect the fundamentals of American military enterprises .

"I've also talked to several economic experts." Michael looked at Chase and continued: "The U.S. public military expenditure is 500 billion U.S. dollars, but the actual military expenditure has reached 1000 trillion U.S. dollars. It is obviously a heavy burden for us. Now our relationship with China is in a relatively stable situation. In terms of conventional weapons, China is 20 to [-] years behind our country. During this period, we can take the initiative to improve national relations with Russia , together with Russia to contain China, this can buy us time, as long as there are five years, our country's economy will recover. At that time, we can shift our focus to the military again."

Speaking of this, Michael actually laughed: "I also learned this method from Huaxia. At the beginning of the reform and opening up, they also implemented a strategy of sacrificing the interests of the army. For 20 years, the Huaxia army did not change their equipment. , There is a gap of half a century with the U.S. Army, which is unimaginable to us. But this is the cleverness of China. They skillfully maintain a balance between the former Soviet Union and us. It bought them time to develop. But in the past ten years, relying on its strong national strength, Huaxia has vigorously developed military enterprises and invested a large amount of money in military scientific research departments. In a short period of time, the gap with us has been shortened to In 15 years, even in some aspects, it is far beyond us."

Michael felt a little thirsty, picked up a bottle of water and took a few sips, and said: "Since Huaxia can do this, why can't we keep a low profile and learn from them, keeping a low profile for five to ten years, I My opinion is that to cut military spending by 30.00%, at least 3000 billion yuan should be saved.”

Seeing that Chase wanted to object, Michael hurriedly said: "Mr. Chase, please listen to me. Although the [-] billion is not a lot, if it can be done in other ways, then it is not a small fortune." That’s it, my second suggestion is to lower the standard of social insurance for all and cancel the welfare measures for some wealthy people. According to this preliminary estimate, another [-] billion can be saved. The third suggestion is to increase the number of rich people. If it can be passed by Congress, we can increase another [-] billion."

Ophegus nodded. He knew that what Michael said had indeed caught the root of the problem, but in this way, he would be strongly opposed by the big domestic consortiums.The American people who have been used to enjoying it will never agree, and it is unrealistic to increase taxes for the wealthy population.Without the support of a strong military force, how can we safeguard the interests of the United States overseas?You know, oil is closely linked to the U.S. dollar, and many of those oil-producing countries don't listen to it. This requires the United States to do something in their country from time to time, which requires money even more.

Ophegus sighed softly. Politics and economy are always inseparable. Now the renminbi is about to become the national currency. Although the financial system in the United States is relatively complete, China's economic growth is very strong. The dollar and renminbi Competition is still difficult. God knows what will happen after the renminbi becomes an international currency?

While Ophegus was pondering, Michael was still talking freely: "The second largest item is the money that the United States once lent to some large consortia. This amount of money is about 5000 billion. Do we consider letting these big consortia The consortium has formulated a repayment plan, and according to my estimation, there should be no problem in recovering [-] billion yuan. The sum of these items is enough to deal with the current difficulties."

Michael took another sip of water and continued: "As for the debt to be repaid, besides the [-] billion in China every year, the U.S. debt held by other countries is about [-] billion. We can exchange some interests and let these countries exchange their bond purchases for long-term ones, which is enough to give us a chance to breathe."

None of the cabinet members spoke. Michael paused for a while and said: "This method can only be said to deal with the current difficulties temporarily, but if the US economy is to get out of the predicament, more money is needed to stimulate the economy. My The opinion is that this year, another 6000 billion U.S. debt will be added, and the Fed will be persuaded to buy [-] billion by flooding the dollar. We can get Congress to pass a bill for the remaining [-] billion to be purchased by the rich in the United States. The government is poor, but the rich have a lot of money."

Michael finally finished speaking, and the members of Orpheus' cabinet began to bicker again.These people all represent the interests of the big financial groups. At this time, they naturally have to speak for their own interests. For a while, the cabinet meeting became a bargaining ground.

Ophegus felt helpless for a while. This was just arguing about these things in the cabinet. If it was brought up to Congress, it might be uncertain whether those politicians would use their fists.

In the Kremlin, Russian President Ivanov is also holding a cabinet meeting. They are not discussing economic issues, but discussing how to deal with the new world pattern.

Now that Huaxia and the United States have temporarily turned their hostility into friendship, Huaxia will no longer continue to sell U.S. debt, allowing the U.S. military to stay in Asia, and the U.S. has also made great concessions. They will no longer interfere in Asian affairs. To support China's sovereignty claims, the most important point is that the U.S. government and Congress have surprisingly unified their opinions this time, and they all support the renminbi as a major international currency. These items are not good for Russia anyway. information.

"Let's talk about how to deal with the current complicated international situation."

The always strong Prime Minister Peter said: "The United States supports China's sovereignty claim this time, which is very detrimental to our country. This means that the United States has indirectly betrayed Russia's interests."

The ministers all knew the meaning of Peter's words. In history, Russia successively occupied 500 million square kilometers of China's land through war. When they become really strong, will they raise this issue with Russia again?The answer will be yes.

Ivanov asked: "Is there any good way for Prime Minister Peter? The rise of China is now unstoppable, and even the Americans have not stopped their rise, let alone our Russia."

The ministers couldn't help but nodded. Although their president was a little weak, he had a keen eye on major international issues.

Although Russian politicians are not like the American government, there are some big conglomerates standing behind each of them, but politics is so mysterious, and they also have their own forces behind them.

Hao Shaohua smiled and said: "Strictly speaking, the social order of the country of Fei can be quickly stabilized. In addition to our insistence on being soft and hard, there is also a lot of credit from our overseas Chinese." The violence brought great pain to the overseas Chinese. We sent troops to the Filipino country this time to provide comprehensive protection for the overseas Chinese. They also know what a strong motherland means to them, so the order to maintain social order As soon as it arrived, the overseas Chinese organized themselves to help us carry out this work.”

Hearing Hao Shaohua's words, Du Yuming quickly changed his opinion of Hao Shaohua. He felt that this young man was not simple.In fact, Han Yutian also flattered Hao Shaohua. The reason why he handled the affairs here well was mainly because he was good at listening to different opinions from all sides, and sacrificed most of his rest time to actually do it.

"Do you have any good suggestions for the candidates for the Philippine general election?"

If the conversation just now was the basic communication between the two sides on the situation in Filipino, then what Han Yutian said now has entered into practical issues. Only a good social order can ensure the smooth progress of the general election, and the smooth progress of the general election can make Huaxia Support a pro-China government.

"According to the instructions of the central government, Chinese people must occupy half of the new Filipino government, especially several important ministerial positions, and we must firmly hold them in our hands. As for the president, we don't think it is necessary. It is best to find a middleman if you want a real overseas Chinese to take the job."

As he said that, Hao Shaohua picked up a document bag and handed it to Han Yutian: "This is the list of candidates for the new government fǔ cabinet proposed based on the suggestion of the military intelligence department and in combination with various situations. We have also solicited opinions from many influential overseas Chinese. , they also think the list is feasible.”

Han Yutian opened the file bag, and first picked up the resume of the presidential candidate. This is a Filipino woman named Lopez, with kind eyes under a pair of black-rimmed glasses, with black hair and a bun, looking like a Very capable, giving people an amiable feeling.

Lopez has a Ph.D. in economics and is a well-known economist in the Philippines. He also served as the Minister of Civil Affairs for a period of time in the Abrian government.Lopez has a quarter of Chinese ancestry, and her grandfather is an out-and-out Chinese, but her Chinese ancestry has not been leaked because of the many restrictions imposed on overseas Chinese in participating in state affairs.

Lopez advocates committing to economic development, eradicating poverty, harmonious coexistence of all ethnic groups, and taking tough measures to crack down on various criminal activities, including kidnapping.In terms of foreign relations, he advocates resolving disputes between countries through negotiations. He is a rare moderate in the bad government, especially against the tough attitude adopted by Abrian. It can also be said that Lopez himself is a pro- Huapai.It was precisely because of this that Lopez was suppressed by Abrian, and he resigned as the Minister of Civil Affairs two months before the riots.

Among the other cabinet members, Filipino Chinese accounted for half, especially the candidates for important departments such as the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Chief of Police, all of whom were Filipino Chinese.

The list was proposed. It can only be said that this task has just begun, and there is still a lot of work to be done. Han Yutian asked, "Is this list sure to pass?"

"According to the political system of the Filipino country, their president is directly elected by the people, and the overseas Chinese naturally support this list. For the rest of the Filipino people, we have to take some measures. It is still the old way of being soft-handed. hard."

Han Yutian smiled, he understood what Hao Shaohua meant by soft hand and hard hand.The soft one is to use small favors to bribe ordinary people in the Filipino country, and the hard one is to use appropriate force. Under the pressure of guns, there must be no Filipino people who dare to vote obediently according to the will of the Chinese soldiers.

"Since you are sure, I will be responsible for coordinating within the observation team. We must keep this matter strictly confidential, and we must not let the representatives of the United States, Britain and France smell it in advance. In addition, let Lopez travel around Let’s go, create momentum, since we want to act, we have to act as if it’s real.”

Hao Shaohua smiled: "Ms. Lopez is now under our protection, going to Medan, Samar, Panay and other islands to get votes. According to the feedback, the effect is still good. As long as it is She was able to be elected president and form a cabinet, and I don’t think the people in the Philippine Congress dare to raise any objections to the selection of cabinet members.”

What Hao Shaohua said was true, the higher a person's social status, the more timid and fearful. In front of the powerful Chinese army, if the members of the Philippine Congress do not act according to China's wishes, they will have to think about their fate.

The Filipinos hadn't seen a foreign occupying army for many years. At the beginning, they were really afraid of the Chinese officers and soldiers, and they saw how they treated those violent thugs.But after a few days, they felt that Huaxia's officers and soldiers were very cute and kind to others. They not only helped them solve the difficulties that Abu Liangzheng's family had not been able to solve for many years, but also provided them with many daily necessities.

Of course, not all Filipinos did this, and some people organized themselves to resist, and some people used the night to scribble anti-Japanese slogans on the streets, demanding that the Chinese invaders get out of Filipino.When treating these people, the Chinese officers and soldiers seemed to have changed into a different person, and the degree of ferocity was unimaginable.

A squad of soldiers from Huaxia was patrolling the streets of Manila in four light armored vehicles. They entered the local aborigines’ residential area in Filipino ahead of them. The officers and soldiers raised their vigilance. The muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the buildings on both sides of the road.

"Da da da..." There was a burst of gunfire, and the bullet hit the armored vehicle and sparked.

"There is an attack, pay attention to vigilance! Find the target and fight back immediately!"

With an order from the officer leading the team, the machine guns on the armored vehicle let out a roar, and the windows on the third floor of a small building on the left side of the road were instantly smashed into hornets' nests.

Three soldiers took cover and rushed into the small building, only to see an aborigine being cut in half by a heavy machine gun, still holding an M4 carbine firmly in his hand.

This kind of gun is produced by Xiufeier Company. It has a capacity of [-] bullets and four rows of magazines. It is specially designed to improve the continuity of firepower.But the generality of this kind of magazine is doubtful. First, its length is too long, which greatly reduces the mobility and portability of the firearm.The second is that the force of the support spring of this kind of long magazine is also relatively large, and it is also difficult to load the magazine into the magazine. Overall, the configuration of this gun seems a bit weird, and it is rarely used by various military teams. Phil Corporation provides a weapon that shows personality for the civilian market, and the aborigine just died because of this personality.

What makes the Chinese officers and soldiers confused is that this kind of gun has not been on the market for a long time. How did they flow into the hands of the indigenous people of Philip?

After a careful search, five other M4 carbines were found in the basement of this small building, and even the packing boxes of these guns were brand new.

The Huaxia Garrison has issued an order to confiscate the guns scattered among the people. No one is allowed to own weapons privately. Once discovered, they will be severely punished.Under such a high-pressure situation, there are still six brand-new carbines in the home of this aboriginal resident, which cannot but arouse the great attention of the Huaxia garrison.

After interrogating the residents of this household, they only said that the person who was beaten to death was picked up at the seaside, and nothing else was found.Weapons experts from the Huaxia military also carefully inspected these firearms and their packaging, but in the end they didn't understand how these weapons got to the country of Fei.

The Huaxia army stepped up patrols on the seashore, and found four boxes of weapons at different locations, but
