The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

"We have always adhered to the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries. Our position has never changed. We have always been based on the principles of equality, mutual benefit and win-win cooperation, and continue to promote friendly cooperation with Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines."

"At the same time, we express strong concern and uneasiness about the threats posed by mobs and riots to Chinese and overseas Chinese."

"For mobs threatening the safety of routes, we will send escort formations to combat pirates and maintain the safety of international routes." The spokesperson answered the reporter's question seriously and said: "As for the relevant reporter's mention of Laos and Cambodia sending volunteers, we have also paid attention to it. Laos and Cambodia are sovereign states. They have autonomous rights and are not subject to interference from other countries. China is no exception."

I don't know how many reporters couldn't help rolling their eyes.

But I also know that it is difficult to dig something out. It is Laos and Cambodia that sent volunteers. Laos and Cambodia are sovereign states. What does it have to do with China! ?

"What do you think about the escalating situation in Southeast Asia this time?" A reporter asked.

The spokesperson said: "The fundamental reason for the escalation of the situation in Southeast Asia is known to the international community. It is that international speculators launched attacks on the financial markets of Southeast Asian countries, triggering financial crises in various countries and causing heavy losses to the economies of various countries. Similarly, my country has also suffered greatly. International speculators launched financial attacks on Hong Kong, causing Hong Kong to suffer huge losses. Here we strongly condemn the behavior of international speculators."

At this time, I don't know how many reporters couldn't help but complain in their hearts.

This time, international speculators hit a wall in two places and fell flat on their faces.

One is in Hong Kong. Every attack by international speculators in Hong Kong ended in failure, causing international speculators to suffer heavy losses and unable to realize their attempt to use Hong Kong as a "super cash machine" again.

The other is in the polar bear. The polar bear central bank announced that it would expand the floating range of the ruble-dollar exchange rate within the year. The sudden change in the polar bear policy has seriously damaged the international speculators who have invested huge amounts of money in the polar bear stock market, and has led to comprehensive and violent fluctuations in the stock markets and foreign exchange markets of European and American countries.

However, there is nothing wrong with what the spokesperson said. Now all countries are condemning the behavior of international speculators.

The United States, New York, Manhattan East River, conference hall building.

A meeting is being held here, representatives from various countries are attending, including representatives from Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

This meeting is discussing whether to send peacekeeping forces to Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

This time the debate is particularly fierce.

This is not the first meeting, in fact, this is the sixth meeting.

The topics of each meeting are different, but it is always inevitable to cause quarrels.

Some people say that this is a place for countries around the world to quarrel, and there is still some truth in this.

Of course, today, representatives of relevant countries spoke and accused relevant countries of playing a negative role.

Laos and Cambodia were not happy, slamming the table and scolding the Philippine representatives, accusing the Philippines of condoning the mob, not creating a peaceful environment, and failing to guarantee the personal and property safety of civilians, leading to the current situation.

The representatives of the relevant countries looked calm and wandering in the void.

The relevant countries refer to Laos and Cambodia, and now Laos and Cambodia have both recognized them.

The US representative frowned and felt very difficult.

The US government is happy to see international speculators launch attacks on financial markets in various countries. After all, it is American companies that make money, and these international speculators always need to pay taxes to the United States.

Moreover, by taking advantage of this opportunity to force countries to develop markets and accept the conditions proposed by the International Monetary Fund, American multinational companies can obtain greater benefits and can buy at low prices.

But who could have thought that it would lead to the situation in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines getting out of control and wars breaking out.

In just two months, the situation has deteriorated to the point where it is out of control.

The head of the ruling party in Thailand ran to the UK and established a government in exile in the UK. The Malaysian government is now in danger and has run to Singapore to form a government in exile. The Philippine government is barely resisting, but has lost control of the entire Philippines.

The Indonesian government has even lost Jakarta, and the army has suffered heavy losses.

The most terrifying thing is that they seized Kalimantan Island, notified the world, rebuilt the Republic of Lan Fang, and claimed that the Republic of Lan Fang had sovereignty over Indonesia since ancient times.

Then everyone checked and found that the Republic of Lan Fang really existed before.

This is terrible. The peacekeeping troops cannot go there to maintain peace.

The places where the peacekeeping troops go must be agreed by both sides. Now even the ownership of the place has become a problem. How can they go there? How to maintain peace? !

Similarly, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines all have the same problem.

That is, according to relevant regulations, peacekeeping troops cannot be sent.

The United States tried to break the restrictions of regulations.

Good guy, it was hard to reach an agreement, and the next question came, how many troops to send?

Sending hundreds of peacekeeping troops can't even stir up waves.

The number of troops on both sides exceeds 100,000, with various weapons, including tanks and artillery.

And they are so far apart.

If 100,000 peacekeeping troops are sent, how will each country contribute? How many peacekeeping troops will each send? What about the funds!

All problems.

The United States instructed the Philippine representatives to launch an attack in order to force a certain country to contribute more people and money.

Good guy, they were wandering in the void, acting as if they had nothing to do with the matter, while Laos and Cambodia took the initiative to stand up and slammed the table to scold the Philippine representatives.

How can this be done! ?

Thinking of the current situation in the United States, the American representatives were numb.

Noticing that the situation in Southeast Asia was out of control, the Pentagon immediately submitted a report, alarmist saying that the United States would lose all influence in Southeast Asia, and once it lost all influence in Southeast Asia, the United States would lose its hegemony, and requested approval of a special military operation fee of 200 billion US dollars.

This came out, and the United States exploded internally.

In 1998, the US military budget was cut to 89.7 billion US dollars. Everyone had been arguing for a long time before they barely reached an agreement and each took a step back.

Now the military has taken this opportunity to request approval of a special military operation fee, and the first word is 200 billion US dollars.

The United States wants to evacuate its citizens from Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines, but the military said it had no money and the warships were being overhauled in the shipyard. Special military operation expenses need to be approved, otherwise the mission cannot be carried out.

Good fellow, once this matter comes out, it is another war of words.

When the military was interviewed, they spat a lot, saying that weapons and equipment cannot be updated, military expenses are only enough to pay salaries, and they are simply unable to carry out the mission.
