I want to be a warlord

"That's not true! There are many countries begging the United States to station troops!" Wang Zhen laughed and said: "The United States is making the choice now. If your geographical location is not good, others will not station troops."

"No, isn't it embarrassing?!" Guo Jingyun was confused, "I don't think Japan and South Korea are marching against the garrison all day long?"

"Is face more important, or money?" Wang Zhen asked with a smile.

"Of course..." Guo Jingyun stuttered when he said this. He had followed Wang Zhen for so many years and was no longer a novice. For a big country, face is of course important, but for a small country, money is definitely important.

He knew that the Philippines had driven the US military away from its territory before, but now it was begging the US military to come back and station troops.

what?

The military port that the US military spent a lot of money to rent?

Is there a possibility that the money purchased arms from the United States and then flowed back...

You can't do things as poorly as I did in the Qing Dynasty.

"Don't let him fool you." Lao Hou said with a smile: "The garrison can indeed promote local consumption. After all, it is well known that American soldiers are rich, but it is more for national defense considerations."

"Let's take Germany as an example. It developed so fast after World War II and became the engine of Europe. A large part of the reason is that the U.S. military stationed there did not have to worry about the country's security issues and did not have to invest money in national defense. All the money was invested in economic development. The U.S.’s annual military expenditure accounts for 3% of GDP. Based on this standard, Germany’s GDP of 3.67 trillion will require a military expenditure of 1100 billion US dollars. In fact, its military expenditure is only more than 400 points, just over 1%.”

"This is the result of improvements in recent decades. When World War II just ended, there was no investment at all, and it was also because the US military garrison increased a lot of income. Oh, by the way, because the United States has garrisoned troops in Germany, Germany Some of our military-industrial companies can easily get orders from the US military, which is another huge amount of income."

"It is precisely because the U.S. military garrison injected strong impetus into Germany that Germany developed so quickly after the war."

"Pfft!" Wang Zhen was drinking beer, and when he heard this, he spit it out.

"You're crazy!" Lao Hou hid.

Wang Zhen coughed and kept laughing, "What you are saying is that American soldiers inject strong motivation into German female soldiers, hahaha, what a Woodpecker plot."

Several people laughed immediately, and Lao Hou raised his middle finger, "Fuck!"

After laughing enough, Lao Hou continued: "Compared with the last 30 years of the last century, when our country has been frantically reducing military spending for the sake of national economic development, you will know how much advantage Japan, South Korea, and Germany have taken!"

"Don't look at how loud Japan and South Korea are. Actual military investment is very low. Military investment is only about 500 billion U.S. dollars, while ours is more than 2500 billion U.S. dollars."

“In terms of military investment by countries around the world, the United States ranks first, and we rank second. The remaining three, four, and five countries are Russia, Britain, and India, which take turns at around 680 billion. Fader, Saudi Arabia, Japan, and South Korea are about the same, with around 500 billion. "

"Like the Philippines, we can't say they don't have a navy, we can only say it doesn't exist. In the entire Asian circle, our military investment is the sum of all other countries. What a concept!"

"Scare them to death!"

"Before, the nine-dash line was not recognized by Southeast Asian countries at all, but now you see, the Philippines has invited the American daddy back!"

"Hey, Saudi Arabia is so rich, I thought the military investment should be very high." Wang Zhen complained: "Also, where did Ah San's military investment go? To develop a super motorcycle that can seat 100 people?"

"That's really damaging. Ah San heard this and hated you so much!" Lao Hou said with a smile.

"No, this Asan, the quintessence of the Chinese nation, can attend the military parade. What do you mean, are you laughing at me?" Wang Zhen said seriously.

As they chatted, the topic turned to Russia and Europe. Wang Zhen said firmly: "Just watch, the emperor will have to promote war in a few years."

"What do you say?" Guo Jingyun couldn't bear to listen to this.

Wang Zhen glanced at Lao Hou, and Lao Hou nodded, "It's almost reached a bottleneck."

Wang Zhen took over, "As a matter of geography, Russia needs a warm coastal area to develop industry and maritime trade."

"No, what does this have to do with warmth?"

"Of course it has something to do with warmth. Otherwise, why abandon the heavy industrial zones in the three eastern provinces and develop again in the southern coastal areas? The production costs are much different, and the price is reflected in whether it is market competitive!"

"The other issue is maritime trade security. Russia's sea lanes are now firmly controlled by Europe, led by Britain, France, and Germany. Not only are trade costs high, but there is no security at all. Just look at Russia's pursuit of ports in Northern Soviet Union. , they want to open up the trade channel from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean and then to Asia.”

"This can greatly reduce the shipping distance and greatly improve safety. Once they succeed, they can build the largest seaport and trade distribution center in Eastern Europe on the Black Sea, which will be of great benefit to Russian products in seizing the market."

"So, you mean Russia will attack Ukraine?" Guo Jingyun finally came to his senses.

"Inevitable." Wang Zhen said with great certainty: "Either the three Baltic countries or Ukraine will open the sea channel. Obviously, Ukraine's strategic value is much higher than that of the three Baltic countries."

"Even if Russia destroys Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, their sea lanes will still have to go through the English Channel, bypassing Denmark, and will still be controlled by Europe, which is worthless."

"Of course, another option is the Far East, opening up trade channels with Asia from Vladivostok, but the long railway transportation and maintenance costs are still very high, and the Siberian climate is too harsh, so it is still of little value."

"If Russia really takes action, will all the European countries go crazy?" Old Liu said with a surprised look on his face: "It will also be a great threat to us."

Lao Liu had experienced an era of tense relations between China and the Soviet Union. The third-tier factory where he worked existed in response to a possible war with the Soviet Union.

"Inevitably, the essence of the Soviet Union back then was Russia plus Ukraine, and the rest were all lagging behind. If we really let Russia out of the cage, European countries would have to be careful." Wang Zhen chuckled. "It's not that exaggerated." Lao Hou said with a confident smile: "Even if it does happen, Russia will cause Europe and the United States to counterattack. The economy still has a long way to go to catch up with us and the United States. Threat Not big."

Wang Zhen gave a thumbs up, what the hell is national confidence?

This is national confidence!

The awesomeness lasted until one o'clock in the morning, and the group of people dispersed after drinking and staring.

Early the next morning, Lao Hou was about to leave smelling of alcohol. Wang Zhen also got up forcibly. He also had to go to Juba. If something happened to Northern Su, as a country of brothers with the same mother and compatriots, Southern Su must not stand idly by. ah!

"Damn, we must build an airport. We must, immediately, immediately!" Wang Zhen cursed during breakfast. If there were a private plane, there would be no need to get up early to go from Najishot to Juba.

It’s only 200 kilometers, and we’re already at the destination before the acceleration is completely completed.

After a bumpy ride all the way to Juba, Wang Zhen felt pain all over his body when he got out of the car. He cursed and stretched, then twisted his arms and swung his legs. His whole body made a rattling sound for a while, and then he felt better.

In the morning, Keir was still a little busy, so Wang Zhen wandered around to the Ministry of Industry, sitting on the table and bragging with a group of 'colleagues' from the Ministry of Industry.

The cement plant is a heavy industry, and it is now one of the key projects of the Industry Department.

Wang Zhen waited until he got off work at noon before going to find Keir and making an appointment to have dinner together.

Knowing that Wang Zhen came to see him for something, Kil did not arrange for anyone else to come over. After drinking a few sips of tea, Wang Zhen talked about business, without revealing the existence of Lao Ha, and only talked about the news he had received from the CIA.

Hearing that something was going to happen to his next-door neighbor and fellow mother Beisu, Keir couldn't control the corners of his mouth and grinned.

Yes, just gloating!

Of course, I smiled and immediately thought about how to get benefits from it.

"What do you think about this?" Kil asked in a deep voice.

Wang Zhen explained what he had summarized with Lao Hou yesterday, from the causes to the future development direction, and Keir nodded repeatedly.

Two words - accurate!

In Kiel's eyes, this was basically the original plan from the United States. After all, he knew that Wang Zhen had a close relationship with the two previous heads of the CIA's East Africa Division and had private financial dealings.

"What do you think we can do?" Kil looked at Wang Zhen with a nervous look in his eyes.

"Abyei area, Kafeya Jinji." Wang Zhen mentioned two place names.

The Abyei region and the Kafeya Jinji region are disputed territories between the North and the South.

Currently, in theory, it is controlled by the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei, with a strength of 3550, and the UNISFA peacekeeping police, with a strength of 640.

There are currently no troops from the North and South Soviet Union in this area, but actual control is currently in the hands of the North and South Soviet Union.

There are many disputed territories in the world, but for the United Nations to send so many people, the Abyei region naturally has its own special features.

First of all, this is the territory where the Dinka people live. Secondly, there are a lot of oil resources, which have been developed and the output is huge.

In comparison, the Kafeya Jinji area has little value, and of course there are no illegal troops stationed there.

The Abyei area is the eternal pain in Kiir's heart. It is indeed the place where the Dinka people have lived since ancient times. As a result, it was occupied by the Northern Sioux. If he could not defeat them, he would never give up!

Surprise burst out in Kiel's eyes, and he couldn't wait to ask: "Do you mean the United States and China?"

Wang Zhen's eyes slowly widened. What's going on?

"No, this is my proposal. It has nothing to do with the United States and China. Don't make wild guesses!" Wang Zhen quickly denied it. He will not take the blame!

"I understand, I understand." Kil's smile was very ambiguous, as if I had already seen through it.

After all, the more negative it is, the more certain it is.

There are some things that these big countries will never admit.

You really understand what a chicken is!

Wang Zhen’s whole body is in bad shape!

He felt that Kiel was tricking him, damn, you want to blame me for everything, right?

Fortunately, I have the habit of recording.

Damn, this world is so difficult and dangerous.

You must learn to protect yourself!

"I'm sure, it must, and, definitely, it's my own idea!" Wang Zhen said through gritted teeth.

Kiel hummed perfunctorily, and then asked with a serious face: "King, there was no rush before, but now, our arsenal must speed up the progress. You must concentrate on doing big things!"
