Chapter 787 Javanese Threat Theory (First update, please subscribe)
What is a threat?

This is the threat!
But this is definitely not a threat, it is a kind reminder.

Li Yi'an is fulfilling the obligation of an ally to remind the United States and Truman of the situation they are facing.

The situation they face is extremely severe, especially in Asia. The butterfly's wings have had an earth-shaking impact on the situation in Asia.

Whether it is India's internal division, Indonesia's hostility to Southeast Asia, or Siam's changes, they are fundamentally changing the situation in Asia. This situation is extremely unfavorable to the United States.

Of course, for Nanyang, there are only advantages and almost no disadvantages.

Only if the situation in Asia becomes more tense, Nanyang will have the opportunity to gain more benefits from it.

Li Nian, who stands on the shoulders of historical giants, can be said to be the person who knows the Cold War best in this era. Even the Americans themselves, including George Kennan, listed the overall containment policy in the "Foreign Affairs" magazine in 1947. The "strategic architect" who determined the tone of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union did not understand the Cold War better than he did. Even in his article, he predicted the collapse of Soviet Russia decades later.

Because Li Yian clearly knows what choices the United States will make in order to curb the expansion of Soviet Russia in the next few decades - to counterattack Soviet Russia without hesitation at every point of its expansion!
Although this is the basis of the "containment policy" proposed by George Kennan, the chief architect of the Cold War, who would have thought that with the Peninsula War as a symbol, in the next 40 years, no matter how the owner of the White House changes, the containment strategy will always remain the same. Being used throughout?
I'm afraid even George Kennan himself couldn't think of it.

It is precisely because of his understanding of this future that Li Yian knows what the best card in Nanyang's hand is - the threat of Soviet Russia!

Is this alarmism?
Of course not, this is a bit exaggerated at best, but who would dare to bet during the Cold War?

Will Americans take this bait?
The answer is yes.

Compared with the Soviet Union, the Cold War strategies of the United Kingdom and the United States were more vicious. They not only had more tools to attack their opponents, but also had fewer flaws to avoid being attacked by their opponents. Of course, the most important thing is that Britain and the United States have far more resources than their opponents and can more effectively withstand the consequences of collision and crush each other.

Anyone who understands the Cold War knows what price the United States is willing to pay in order to win the Cold War.

After the words fell, Li Yian took a sip of tea, and then looked at Truman quietly. At this time, Truman looked completely silent.

Truman frowned but did not speak. This possibility is not impossible. After all, the current situation in Asia is not optimistic.

Okay, the bait has been thrown, all that’s left is to wait for the Americans to take the bait!
Li Yian sneered in his heart.

In this war, everyone has only one goal, which is to win.

Li Yian looked at Truman and said.

When the United States and the Soviet Union were engaged in the Cold War, they always spared no effort to defeat each other. There is no distinction between good and evil in the Cold War, only success or failure. The winner will be the master of history, and the loser will become a foil for evil.

"Harry, when the Russian military boots extend into the Pacific and Indian Oceans, where will the world go?"

In fact, Americans are now aware of the tense situation in Asia. Even the "Franklin" aircraft carrier is probably to prevent the expansion of Soviet Russia, so it is necessary to strengthen Nanyang's strength.

"If it loses Asia, perhaps the United States will not lose the competition with Soviet Russia, but it will have to directly face the threat of Soviet Russia in the Pacific, and Southeast Asia is just the beginning, then South Asia, and finally the whole of Asia."

"Losing all of Asia?"

And resources!
This is precisely the fundamental prerequisite for the United States to win the Cold War!

It was precisely by relying on resource advantages that the Cold War was finally won.

In terms of resource investment, the United States initiated large-scale foreign aid through the implementation of the "Marshall Plan". Its purpose was to restore the production capacity of the recipient country through aid, then strengthen its national defense strength, and finally join the military alliance led by the United States. . Before the United States' economic recession in the 70s and the implementation of a comprehensive contraction strategy, the resources the United States invested in fighting Soviet Russia were unimaginable to the world.

Foreign aid itself is part of the confrontation with Soviet Russia. It is not only to strengthen the power of allies, but also to win the support of allies. It is also to induce Soviet Russia to end. When Soviet Russia began to provide assistance to its allies, they had already reached the point of no return - this is where the United States became vicious and vicious - consuming resources and eventually bringing down Soviet Russia step by step.

However, Li Yi'an didn't care about this. He only knew one thing - during the Cold War, as long as the threat from Soviet Russia existed, it was impossible for the United States to give up aid to Southeast Asia.

When necessary, you can also worsen the situation!

What makes Li Yian most fortunate is that in the next two decades, Southeast Asia will always be a hot spot in the Cold War.

Vietnam makes the United States sad!
Could it be a hot spot?

Now not only Vietnam, but also Siam and even Indonesia are closer to Soviet Russia than in history.

What a hot spot!

Faced with such hotspots, the United States suspends aid - are they crazy?

"If this happens, we will definitely lose the Cold War!"

Truman said directly, and at the same time turned his gaze to Li Yian and asked.

"Do you have any thoughts on the situation in Southeast Asia?"

"contain!"

Li Yian said after putting down the tea cup.

"This containment is divided into two steps, namely defense in the north and attack in the south. First, we need to establish an isolation zone in northern Malaya. At present, we have established a 10-kilometer-deep no-man's land along the border, which is not only isolated with barbed wire. , and also used defoliants and physical means to turn no-man's land into open grassland, fundamentally preventing the penetration of the north, and at the same time developing Malaya's economy to improve people's living standards and prevent them from falling to radical elements..."

After introducing the "defensive development strategy" implemented by Nanyang in Malaya one by one, Li Yi'an said again.

"As for the southern attack, it is aimed at Indonesia. Although Indonesia has not yet completely turned to Soviet Russia, according to the intelligence we currently have, it is only a matter of time. In the next few years, Soviet Russia is bound to increase its attack on the Soviet Union. Indonesia's assistance and continuous expansion of its influence in Indonesia will eventually turn Indonesia into another Siam. If we cannot intervene in advance, Indonesia, which turns to Soviet Russia, will inevitably threaten the entire Southeast Asia..."

What are we talking about now?
Of course it is the "Indonesian threat theory". Don't say anything unrealistic. In the context of the Cold War, there is no need to use reason to analyze the problem. Just like Cuba, just a small island country can make the United States sleep and eat. Unfortunately, Cuba seems to pose no threat, but under the control of Soviet Russia, it is definitely the biggest threat to "world peace".

Similarly, Indonesia under the control of Soviet Russia is definitely the biggest threat to "world peace".

Li Yi'an, who is familiar with the core of "Cold War diplomacy", what he needs now is, of course, to hype up the "Indonesian threat theory" and to describe Jakarta's move to seek assistance from the Soviet Union as evidence against the Soviet Union. As for the real evidence... wait until Heda Corn on the Cob, increase aid to Indonesia, and when Indonesia establishes a military base, the evidence will be delivered to your door.

What Li Yian has to do is to tell the Americans that Indonesia is the first domino in Southeast Asia. Once it falls, the entire Southeast Asia will be controlled by Soviet Russia, and even Nanyang cannot stop it.

"...In short, our policy is to completely eliminate this threat before Indonesia falls to Soviet Russia!"

After Li Yian finished speaking, Truman, who frowned, asked.

"So what is your plan? Is it to launch a military attack on Indonesia?"
