Chapter two thousand seven hundred seventy-seven the arrow is on the string
All news media under the US CNN reported almost at the same time that the special correspondent Danni interviewed China Vice Premier Mu Guoxing. Just as China exploded the first atomic bomb in the last century, it immediately caused shock to the whole world.
To be fair, Danni's report is more realistic, but the key is that the title of the article is too shocking: the Deputy Prime Minister of China publicly stated that sovereignty can only defend but not negotiate. The subtitle is - China firmly opposes NATO's military strike against Iran, and may unite with Iran to fight NATO together.
CNN's famous TV commentator Rafis sounds even more terrifying: "It is obvious that China, which has become stronger, will no longer be afraid of any war. In order to protect its oil interests in the Middle East, they will risk a war with NATO to help Iran resist NATO's military strikes. According to relevant experts, if NATO insists on launching a military strike against Iran despite China's warnings, the Chinese army will inevitably intervene, and this intervention may trigger World War III."
Rafaz's words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. For a time, the governments of NATO member states were in a panic. The reason why they agreed to launch a military strike against Iran was based on the fact that China would not send troops. If China really sent troops, they would have to think about it carefully.
Governments of various countries urgently held cabinet meetings to study countermeasures. On one hand, it is the old world power America, and on the other hand, it is the emerging world power China. It is in the gap between these two major powers. This taste is really bad.
The US President's hotline rang all day long, all of which were heads of governments of NATO member states, calling to inquire about the attitude of the US government. The content of the phone was extremely similar, and they all tactfully proposed that the US government would reconsider its plan to take military action against Iran.
The statements of the Greek and Spanish governments were even more unexpected to Bauman. The heads of the two countries clearly pointed out: If the United States insists on launching a strike against Iran and causes China to send troops to help, Greece and Spain will reconsider whether there is any need to stay within the NATO in the future.
Not only that, Italy, Belgium, Poland and other countries also stated that although they abide by the various rules of NATO, they are not prepared to send combat troops to participate in military operations against Iran, and all they can provide is moral or logistical support.
Of course, countries such as the United Kingdom, France and Canada firmly support the military strike against Iran, which means that there has been serious division within the NATO organization.
Three days later, the NATO member summit was held in Athens, the capital of Greece. A large number of protesters gathered outside the venue. Greek people put out banners with the words: The United States is a murderer! Protesting the criminal act of the United States in military strikes against a sovereign state.
After intense closed-door consultations, although there were firm oppositions from Greece and other countries, NATO still passed a resolution with a weak majority: authorizing the United States, Britain, France, Turkey and other countries to form a joint ** and launch a limited military strike against Iran. At the same time, this resolution is very rational to control the war within Iran and will definitely not allow the war to be burned to other countries.
From this we can see that although China has become stronger, its influence in Western countries is still relatively small. What makes everyone wonder is that most mainstream Western media have reported this incident very fairly and objectively, and have not distorted and slandered China as before. This means that the foreshadowing laid by Mu Guoxing when he visited the Three European Union last time has now played a role. The media, which has invested by two major consortiums in Huanan You and Zhu, will naturally not talk nonsense to the motherland of the major shareholders. You should know that the reporters of these media are now holding their own jobs.
Although this decision was made under extreme secret circumstances, as the ancient Chinese saying goes, there is no airtight wall in the world. Just the day after the meeting of NATO National Leaders, the secret resolution was spread through various channels. It is unknown whether this was deliberately done by some countries.
After NATO passed this resolution, it means that the military strikes against Iran by Western countries are on the verge of being on the verge of arrows. Major media around the world are speculating on the specific time of the strikes against Iran by the United States. Several international bookmakers have also used this incident to start their crazy money-making behavior, using the war's start date to win and lose to anyone, and encourage billionaires to bet.
The amount of betting is getting bigger and bigger, and it has reached 170 billion US dollars in just one week. The odds between Iran and NATO have reached 1 to 10. In other words, everyone thinks that Iran will lose this war. Even if Iran has the support of China, the advanced weapons purchased in haste may not be able to play a role. Iran will definitely lose.
The Chinese Central Committee is closely monitoring the turbulent situation in the world. Their focus is not when the Western coalition led by the United States will launch a military strike against Iran, but whether Japan and South Korea will take advantage of this opportunity to make some small moves.
Mu Congwu, the commander-in-chief of the Aid to Iran, was urgently summoned to Zhongnanhai one afternoon. In the small conference room of Ziguang Pavilion, No. 1 and No. 3 and Mu Guoxing listened to Mu Congwu's report together and studied and deployed the next step of work. As for what they were talking about, it naturally belongs to the country's high secrets. Not to mention the staff of Ziguang Pavilion, even the guards and secretary around the three big bosses were not aware of it. However, judging from the expressions on Mu Congwu's face when he left Zhongnanhai, everyone knew that the three giants in the central government had made all preparations and were waiting for the United States to fire the first shot.
What surprised the Chinese leaders was that Japan and South Korea did not show much enthusiasm for the United States-led coalition forces to attack Iran. Japan's foreign minister Maruyama only mentioned this matter casually at a working lunch meeting: Japan will morally support the United States in attacking Iran's nuclear facilities, and Japan will not mobilize military forces to participate in the war.
To everyone's surprise, South Korean President Park Tong-gyeong expressed his disapproval of the US-led Western coalition that easily launched a military strike against sovereign states before the facts were investigated clearly, and said that this was a serious endangering world peace. He also called on the United States and Iran to resolve the nuclear issue through negotiations.
Judging from the statements of these two countries, they are still very conscious of the current affairs. At least under the current circumstances, they have not followed the United States to fully fight against China. This is also what they consider for their long-term strategic interests.
There was no big deal between Japan and South Korea, but Vietnam jumped out at this time. At an internal meeting, Vietnamese Chairman Pan Wenxiu said gloatingly: "Huaxia thinks it is very powerful now, and it dares to support Iran in the world's most powerful NATO, led by the United States. This war will surely teach China a profound lesson. Not only can China not protect oil interests in the Middle East, but it may also lose all of it in this military operation."
At this meeting, Pan Wenxiu also proposed that Vietnam should take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a difference and completely resolve the dispute between the two countries on the South China Sea islands and the problem of the Chinese army being overwhelmed by the Chinese military. Although Pan Wenxiu thought that his speech at the meeting was very confidential, unfortunately it was controlled by the Chinese military intelligence department.
After a lot of preparations, Vietnam's current Prime Minister Nguyen Vinjae paid a state visit to China as scheduled. In just two years, Nguyen Vinjae actually became the Prime Minister of Vietnam. This change is quite large, and it is also the result of a balance between Vietnam's domestic political forces.
In recent years, the southern forces represented by the Nguyen family and gradually controlled many important departments of the Vietnamese government. Although the northern faction led by Pan Wenxiu is still very powerful, it can no longer gain the upper hand in the battle with the southern factions as before.
