mixed in the war

"Why—?" Guo Rugui was frightened to death: "Have the Americans formed an alliance with the Japanese?"

"No." Qin Wei looked at him strangely, "How could the United States form an alliance with Japan? Unless China and the Soviet Union stand on the opposite side of the United States and make Americans feel threatened, then there is still hope. But With the way our China is now...how can the Americans care about us?"

"Is that so? That, that... that's fine." Guo Rugui breathed a sigh of relief, and then glared at Qin Wei angrily: "Then you still say that the Americans will blockade China? Chief Qin, do you know that this will happen?" Scary?"

"As China looks like now, who do you have to be afraid of?" Qin Wei looked at the other party with a smile: "Isn't it just the United States? Even if they really join forces with the Japanese to deal with us, we just fight them... Poor and white, It’s just a good time to play. It will be more convenient to rebuild when the time comes.”

"If this word gets out, do you know how much trouble it will cause you?" Guo Rugui completely understood how out of tune Qin Wei was.It takes so much effort to fight Japan, but you dare to say that you will fight with the United States again?Is this guy Chinese?

"Don't tell me you're causing trouble for me. I'm not afraid of those things. Besides, do you really think that we won't fight against the United States across the Pacific Ocean?" Qin Wei smiled, but his eyes were cold: "Tell you, let's fight with the United States." America, sooner or later, will be each other's worst enemy."

"How to say?" Guo Rugui asked casually.

"Because of world domination!"

"Cough cough cough-"

"You do not believe?"

"Well... I still have something to do in the combat department, let me first..."

"sit down!"

"Chief Qin, I really have something to do!"

"If I tell you to sit down, sit down, why are there so many nonsense?" Qin Weiji stared at Guo Rugui with cold eyes as much as possible, "Let's go now...you just look down on me!"

"No, how dare I look down on Chief Qin?" What a crime I did.Knowing that this guy is out of tune, he still rushes to chat with him... No wonder He Yingqin and the others just found a chance to slip away when I first came here.Sitting and chatting with this guy is really not something ordinary people can bear.Guo Rugui sat back slowly, secretly regretting it.

"Drink tea!"

Seeing that Guo Rugui sat down, Qin Wei pushed the guy's teacup in front of him and said sharply.

"Not thirsty." Guo Rugui said quickly.

"Afraid of choking?"

"Chief Qin was joking." You know you still ask?Guo Rugui smiled ugly.

"You wanted to run away just now, do you think what I said was too inappropriate? Also too unreliable?" Qin Wei asked him again.

"No..." Since you know everything, why do you still ask?Guo Rugui was a little impatient.Although he was not afraid of offending Qin Wei, he really didn't want to offend this guy.

"You are a major general, how can you be so frivolous?" Qin Wei sighed.Again.

"I'm frivolous?" Guo Rugui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but at the same time she was a little angry: "Chief Qin, although Guo is not talented, he is regarded as highly valued by the chairman and the military commissioners... You say I am frivolous? Do you have evidence?"

"You want to run away before I finish speaking, and you don't even want to hear the reason. What is this if it's not frivolity?" Qin Wei glared at him, "If you go outside and talk to others again, it won't ruin me even more. reputation?"

"I'm not a talkative person." You can't be a spy if you talk too much.Guo Rugui shook his head.

"Really?" Qin Wei looked at him. "Since you are not frivolous...then let me ask, do you think what I just said makes sense?"

"It makes sense. But..." Guo Rugui paused, "It's too 'long-term'!"

"Not necessarily." Qin Wei snorted coldly, "The European war is imminent. The Americans will intervene sooner or later... Do you know Mackinder?"

"Of course I know." Guo Rugui raised his eyebrows, "That is a famous British politician and geographer. He put forward the 'Lu Xin theory', which is also the famous 'Heartland Theory'. It is the first time to analyze the world with the concept of global strategy Political power... whoever rules Eastern Europe rules the Heartland; who rules the Heartland rules the World-Island; The 'Sea Power Theory' is relatively well-known. Although it was not taken seriously at the beginning, it began to strongly influence the foreign policies of countries in the world, especially Western European countries after World War I. Because of his words, Britain is now extremely concerned about Eastern Europe. Attention, this is probably also an important reason why Britain, France and other countries adopted a policy of appeasement towards Germany and wanted to guide it to attack the Soviet Union. On the one hand, it is true that Britain, France and other countries are unwilling to do it themselves, making their country suffer the loss of another World War. On the one hand, it is also because the existence of the Soviet Union threatens Eastern Europe...Once these countries are occupied by the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union may gain world hegemony.”

"That's all?" Qin Wei asked.

"Of course not. But what are we talking about?" Want to test me?Guo Rugui was a little surprised why Qin Wei suddenly paid attention to these theoretical things. Although he knew these things very well, he didn't intend to follow Qin Wei's words.He is not a puppet.

"Let's chat casually." Qin Wei smiled: "But I really want to ask, Director Guo, what do you think of Mackinder's theory?"

"Very clever."

"that's it?"

"What else can we do?" Guo Rugui smiled wryly, "It's a pity that we don't have such scholars in China."

"But I think that although Mackinder's theory has a certain degree of generality, it still lacks something." Qin Weidao: "At least I think that geographical factors, compared with factors such as economy and leader's personality, are more important for everyone. The influence of the country’s foreign policy will be more lasting. That is to say, the geographical location has a great influence on the country, and the United States is adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean at the same time, which is the most powerful position in the world.”

"America again?" Guo Rugui already wondered if Qin Wei had suffered in the United States.Otherwise, why do you keep catching people in the United States and talking non-stop?

"As we said just now, the European war is imminent, and the United States will intervene sooner or later... Do you think that this time the United States will be driven back to North America by Britain, France and other countries like it was in World War I, and what kind of 'isolation policy' will be closed behind closed doors? Is it?" Qin Wei asked again.

"It's hard to say." Guo Rugui naturally didn't dare to jump to conclusions, not to mention that he really didn't have much research on this aspect.

"I can tell you, no!" Qin Wei sneered, "The economic aggregate of the United States is already saturated. Severe overproduction led to their economic crisis in 1929, which was barely over until recently.  …So , the U.S. government will seek a larger and broader market from outside.”

"It makes sense." Guo Rugui moved his butt again, he wanted to leave, but knew that Qin Wei would definitely not let him go, it was really embarrassing.

"War in Europe, although I believe that Germany will be defeated again, Britain and France will also suffer huge losses far beyond World War I, and thus lose their current international status, but this is something that hasn't happened yet. So, let's talk about Asia first!" Qin Wei changed the subject, "What do you think the United States thinks about East Asia?"

"Want to take part in the profits?" Guo Rugui replied.

"That was in the past. Now, it must be thinking of taking it all." Qin Wei sneered, "Because Japan, the Soviet Union, and China have all fallen into the war. Even after the war, because of the huge losses in the war, the three It will be difficult for all countries to maintain the current situation. Japan in particular, whose national power has suffered a huge loss, will not be able to deal with the raging United States. Therefore, at that time, the United States will take the opportunity to swallow the interests of the entire western Pacific Ocean, and China and the Soviet Union, which are most likely to threaten it, are firmly locked on the mainland."

"What do you mean?" The United States will definitely come.Because this group of great powers had always been able to lock China and the Soviet Union on the mainland...Guo Rugui felt that she was a little interested.

"Sooner or later, the United States will participate in the war, and it will not only participate in the European war, but also participate in the war between us and Japan." Qin Weidao: "In the interests of the United States, it will definitely go to East Asia where the sea is the strongest. With its strong industrial strength, it is not difficult for the United States to defeat Japan. Once it defeats Japan, the United States will hold the Japanese archipelago in its hands...Have you seen the world map?"

"of course."

"Starting from Alaska in the United States, along the Aleutian Islands in the Bering Sea, to the Chiba Islands in northern Japan, the Japanese Islands, the Ryukyu Islands, Taiwan Island, the Philippine Islands, the Greater Sunda Islands, and the Lesser Sunda Islands... this road extends down. , the United States will completely surround the entire Pacific Ocean and take it into its own pocket!" Qin Wei's voice was cold: "At that time, we, and even the Soviet Union, will have to act according to the face of the Americans. Because, we have They were firmly locked in a corner of the Eurasian continent by the other party."

"...What exactly do you want to say?" Guo Rugui imagined the world map he had seen before, and a trace of horror flashed in his eyes.He suddenly discovered that once what Qin Wei said came true, China would actually be blocked.With a long coastline, there is no way to find an exit to the ocean... But if China is such a big country, if it is really independent and unified, how can it be stuck on the mainland?In this world, how can a country that has no strength in the ocean be worthy of being called a powerful country?If it is not a powerful country, does it have to be bullied by the great powers all the time?And if they have to be bullied by the big powers like this, how can their ideals be realized?Where can they find the goal they have been fighting for for many years? ...Thinking of that terrible situation, Guo Rugui unknowingly used honorifics to Qin Wei.

"Taiwan!" Qin Wei put his fingers heavily on the table, "Only Taiwan! If Taiwan is taken, this island chain will be broken... The sea will be open to us. Therefore, no matter who finally controls China, it will be Taiwan cannot be spared. Letting Taiwan separate from mainland China is China's sinner." (To be continued..)
