Chapter 235: The disintegration of the Soviet Union
General Schwarzkopf knew Chang Lin's mood well and knew that he was not a person who liked war. The general had an idea and leaned close to Chang Lin: "The Soviet Union has disintegrated. Since you like doing business, and since you want to comfort China, you will do more
Countries such as Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan should be captured first."
"Oh?" Chang Lin glanced at the South China Tiger in surprise and said to his uncle: "The general's move is very clever. Cooperating with them is indeed beneficial to China."
"Leave it to me." South China Tiger smiled slightly. He came here this time just for several countries in the Middle East.
"A group of Islamic school students emerged from nowhere, representing the interests of the lowest mainstream Pashtuns and sweeping across the country in just a few years. They are the Taliban." Schwarzkopf's melancholy eyes showed uneasiness, watching the often
Lin's facial expression.
"They are a strict Islamic fundamentalist organization. Their propaganda is to build a unified, peaceful and prosperous Afghanistan, and they are supported by strict tax cuts and strict precepts. Therefore, I have provided them with supplies of materials and weapons. What is the general worried about?
"
Chang Lin frankly admitted that he had a good relationship with Omar, and he had helped him with everything from arms to supplies. Schwarzkopf sighed: "People change, especially politicians."
The Taliban's strength expanded rapidly, developing into a team of nearly 30,000 people, hundreds of tanks and dozens of jet fighters. The smart Omar was not in a hurry to seize power, and was secretly growing his own strength.
"Did Omar deceive me?" Chang Lin couldn't believe it. Such a capable person would change. Who else could he trust?
"I learned an important piece of information!" Schwarzkopf sighed again: "Pakistan's opium production has exceeded 200 tons, and the poppy cultivation area is 1,038 hectares. Opium from the "Golden Crescent" is exported to the United Kingdom and Western Europe.
Heroin once occupied about 90% of the market."
"Is this related to Omar?" Chang Lin didn't pay much attention to drug production and trafficking, so he also ignored intelligence issues.
The "Golden Crescent" is adjacent to the northwest border area of China and is located at the junction of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran in Southwest Asia. It is also called the "Golden Half-Moon Bay". Because the area is shaped like a curved moon, it is called the "Golden Crescent".
moon".
Thinking of this, Chang Lin said to the South China Tiger: "Uncle, you should pay attention to this matter and never let drugs flow into our country."
Schwarzkopf smiled bitterly, looked at Chang Lin and said, "You don't seem to care much about this matter."
"Afghanistan has complex terrain, inconvenient transportation, backward economy and culture, and the tribes are isolated from each other. The internal affairs of the tribes are managed by their respective leaders, and most tribes have their own armed forces, so the conflicts are complicated.
They want to survive, so they pay attention to drug cultivation. We can only sweep the snow in front of each other, and preventing drugs from entering is the only way." Chang Lin smiled and expressed his views frankly to Schwarzkopf.
"You think too simply! If you have trouble with drug dealers, you have to fight with drug gangs. One day you will pay the price for it." Schwarzkopf was surprised by Chang Lin's thinking and couldn't help but lecture him.
"Hahahaha, as long as they mess with me, I will have a way to conquer them!" Chang Lin laughed and said to Schwarzkopf: "I am very curious. Since the general knows that Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan have become independent, the Americans
Aren't you interested?"
Facing the always straightforward Chang Lin, Schwarzkopf couldn't help but laugh: "I am a military strategist, not a politician. The Americans are definitely interested, but they won't tell me their strategies."
Of course Chang Lin was happy when the five Central Asian countries of the former Soviet Union - Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan - became independent. He smiled at the South China Tiger and said: "Establishing relations with them will make our business bigger and stronger.
.”
"The five Central Asian countries have sent diplomats, and that's why I came here. They asked for financial assistance and hoped to cooperate with us in various fields such as industry, mining, and commodity sales." South China Tiger produced a document.
, placed it in front of Chang Lin and waited for a reply.
"Promise them!" Chang Lin didn't like being indecisive and said simply: "Give each of them US$10 billion in interest-free aid, which must be repaid after five years."
"You are trying to dismantle Gorbachev!" South China Tiger understood that Chang Lin did not hesitate to use huge sums of money to buy these countries in difficulty, of course for other countries to see after the disintegration.
"Gorbachev won't be able to sit as president for a few days. Who will be the new president of Russia? Let's get in touch with Yeltsin. I'm interested in this person." The uncle laughed and scolded Chang Lin very happily, which showed that his ideas were supported by him.
The approval of the elderly.
"What a great idea!" The South China tiger looked at Schwarzkopf in surprise and said jokingly: "Isn't this guy simple? My Yankee friend."
"Hahahaha!" The living room burst into laughter, everyone laughed at the tacit understanding between the South China Tiger and Schwarzkopf.
The disintegration of the Soviet Union made Chang Lin see both business opportunities and crises. The only two superpowers that dominated the world were the United States, which was not good news for other countries. He sent Schwarzkopf away and said to his uncle
South China Tiger said: "The crisis in the Middle East is not over, but has become more serious!"
The South China Tiger was so shrewd that he already knew the meaning of Chang Lin's words. However, he did not point out the meaning of Chang Lin's words. He pointed at Afghanistan and Iraq and said: "This is still the trigger for the outbreak of war."
"How difficult!" Chang Lin sighed, if the United States wants to move a small country without any effort, even if Phoenix City goes all out to fight against this powerful tiger, in the end both parties will lose!
"That's what I think!" Seeing his nephew so worried, the South China Tiger said with a smile: "We support other countries economically, providing weapons, technology and everything to let this tiger fall into the quagmire of war!"
Chang Lin's eyes lit up, and he quickly thought of a better way. He added: "You can also form various special forces to help them secretly. Just -"
He did not continue. The South China Tiger already knew that Chang Lin was hesitating for his brothers. Every country has special forces. Even if you are very capable, you cannot guarantee victory under a powerful sea, land and air military attack. No matter how high your martial arts skills are,
I am also afraid of kitchen knives, which consumes more elites than a real war!
"Throw your head and shed blood, and wrap your body in horse leather. This is the mission of a soldier! The Middle East cannot be lost, and for the future of China, there cannot be any hesitation!" The South China Tiger looked at his nephew seriously, hoping that he would know the stakes.
"Commander, let me do it!" Li Kai stood up with a bang and said forcefully: "For the motherland, for our Phoenix City, brothers will not be afraid to die on the battlefield!"
"commander."
"commander!"
Everyone in the living room stood up. These passionate men all hoped to lead the special forces and fight the Americans in a life-and-death fight. Chang Lin looked at everyone excitedly: "I know how you feel, but I want to tell you something.
Cruel thing!"
Everyone looked at Chang Lin in confusion, not knowing what he meant. The South China Tiger interjected: "This special force cannot use the banner of China, let alone expose the name of Phoenix City. Maybe you can only write on your tombstone in the future.
Last fake name!”
Everyone was shocked. Death is not terrible, but is it worth dying in a foreign country like this?
"Will the motherland remember us?" Li Kai quickly understood the reason for doing this. In order to avoid a direct conflict with the superpower, Chang Lin had to do this.
"Yes!" Chang Lin motioned for everyone to sit down and looked at the brothers who shared life and death and said: "Everyone understands the reason for doing this and the cruelty of special operations. Once your identities are exposed, not only will the entire plan fail, but it will also bring harm to the motherland.
Blacken your face."
"Commander, everyone understands." Li Kai took over the topic and asked Brother Chen next to him: "Follow me?"
"Yes!" Chen Sijing, Chen Siliang, and Chen Sihe answered Li Kai seriously.
"I'm relieved to have the four of you!" Chang Lin breathed a sigh of relief. Li Kai is a calm general, and the Chen brothers are rare special operations elites, but he still explained carefully: "In order to let the Americans
If I don’t understand your identity, I must use the names of Japanese people.”
"Commander, just give me those little devils and women trained in Southeast Asia!" Li Kai knew the commander's intentions and happily asked for the fairway.
"They—" Chang Lin's heart moved and he glanced shrewdly at the South China Tiger.
"Changing flowers and replacing trees with trees." There is a mystery in the South China Tiger's saying, and he knew Chang Lin would do this.
"The plan is good, but if one part of it goes wrong, the reputation of Phoenix City will be ruined in my hands! Everyone, please go down and let me think about this matter carefully."
Chang Lin did not reply immediately. There were no loopholes in his careful plan. Everyone in the living room hurriedly stood up and left, leaving Chang Lin to think clearly about how to deal with the current complex situation. After seeing everyone leaving, the South China Tiger asked:
"Are you worried about the safety of our Chinese women sneaking into the Japanese country?"
"Yes." Chang Lin's worries are not unreasonable. The special forces' operations on the outside are not a big problem. Hundreds of people went to the Japanese country, and they were a group of girls. Of course, he would not be at ease.
"We can select dozens of people to infiltrate among the Japanese women and give half to Li Kai's special team." The South China Tiger was not at ease, but he quickly thought of a more comprehensive approach.
"Let me go!" Zhong Mei, Zhong Li is indeed a twin sister. When she heard her husband's huge words, she couldn't wait to stand up.
"Can you do it after ten years of separation?" Chang Lin certainly knew the abilities of this pair of sisters, but he was still worried.
"I won't cuckold you." Zhong Li smiled, mocking her worried husband.
"Hahahaha!" Chang Lin laughed heartily and said to the embarrassed uncle: "I feel relieved because of their words."
"Bastard!" South China Tiger knew it was a joke between the young couple, but he was an uncle and couldn't say a word at this time.
