For the United States, the problem in Afghanistan has not yet been completely resolved. The Taliban is still fighting with the United States and its allies. And as long as the United States and NATO withdraw from Afghanistan, the Taliban will most likely return to power, which explains the actions of the United States in Afghanistan.
It was a complete failure. This is what the United States does not want to see. And in order to solve the problem in Afghanistan, Pakistan plays a very important role.
Now Victor is also in some pain. The superiors gave him the power to do things cheaply, and now they have given him a new order, which is to sail the Pacific Fleet to the Indian Ocean. Let India and Pakistan cease the war. At the same time, the United States must have possessions in the South China Sea.
Influence. Especially the last point, it is really difficult for him. If he wants to always have influence in the South China Sea, he must insist on confrontation here. In this case, the Pacific Fleet rushes to the Indian Ocean and urges
A ceasefire between India and Pakistan is impossible.
Victor had no choice but to invite Wang Xiong to the USS Kennedy aircraft carrier where he was for discussions.
"Brother, you can't go. The Americans may detain you and use you to blackmail us." After learning the news, Li Jun quickly stopped him. Now Li Jun has returned to Manila. They were not really prepared to do so.
By occupying Manila, our goal had been achieved, so we naturally came back.
"Now is the time to negotiate. Don't worry. Victor wants to detain me. He doesn't have the ability." Wang Xiong chuckled. Wang Xiong could clearly judge that Victor really wanted to find me this time.
I have talked about it myself. Now is also a good time for negotiation. Is it better to have this confrontation without conflict or not?
A really large-scale conflict with the United States will trigger a war that will be long-lasting and very harmful. Of course, all of this must achieve its own purpose. That is, the issue of the South China Sea must have an ownership. That ownership is only
It could be China. As long as we don't give in on this point, we can talk about other things.
"But, brother, if you're not afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the worst." Li Jun said very worriedly. If Wang Xiong was detained by any chance, the situation would definitely take a turn for the worse.
"Li Jun, I'm leaving. You are here to command me. Don't worry. I will be fine. I will take Liu Weimin, Zhang Long, and Xue Lan with me. With them here, plus Xiao Wei and Jin Long in the air, I will definitely
It's okay." Wang Xiong said with a smile.
"Then, brother, you must be careful. If there is any change on the other side, I will take action immediately to prevent them from having any evil intentions." Li Jun knew that once Wang Xiong decides something, it cannot be changed.
Therefore, this can only be said.
"Okay." Wang Xiong nodded.
Wang Xiong and the other four immediately lowered a patrol boat from the Yangtze aircraft carrier, and then Zhang Long drove the patrol boat towards the American aircraft carrier Kennedy.
There, Victor and others had been waiting there for a long time.
Wang Xiong looked at Victor. Victor was also very tired now. Obviously, the confrontation in the past few days had made him in a very bad state. Coupled with the difficulties he was encountering now, it was reasonable for Victor to be so tired.
Winning. In fact, Wang Xiong hasn’t had much rest these days. However, Wang Xiong’s condition is
It was very good. There was no sign of fatigue. On the contrary, in this situation, Wang Xiong felt very excited. Just like now, Wang Xiong couldn't help but think of Guan Yunchang going to the meeting alone. Although there were four of them,
In fact, it's pretty much the same. They all go deep into the enemy camp.
Victor and others also looked at Wang Xiong, and Victor was fine. Everyone else wanted to eat Wang Xiong. They seemed to be very dissatisfied with Wang Xiong.
"Hello, Admiral Victor." Wang Xiong ignored those glances, but stretched out his hand and said to Victor.
"Hello, Commander Wang." Victor also extended his hand. No matter how hostile they were, at this time, they all extended their hands in a very friendly manner. The two hands were held together.
"Let's go in and talk." Victor said to Wang Xiong with a smile.
Wang Xiong nodded and looked at the Kennedy aircraft carrier. As the oldest aircraft carrier in the United States, the Kennedy aircraft carrier is also very famous. The Kennedy aircraft carrier is equipped with the most advanced Raptor fighter in the United States, which is the F22 fighter. It is currently a single-plane combat aircraft.
The most powerful new generation fighter jet. To be honest, although Wang Xiong is very confident, but seeing so many Raptor fighter jets, he is not sure of victory.
"Sit down." In a room on the Kennedy aircraft carrier, Victor made a gesture of invitation to Wang Xiong.
Wang Xiong was not polite and sat down directly. Wang Xiong could speak English, and Victor could speak Mandarin. The two of them did not need a translator and could talk directly. There were only two of them in the room. This time, the negotiation was between the two of them.
There is no need to worry, you can directly engage in wrangling.
"Commander Wang, I am very sincere in this negotiation. I also hope that you can be sincere." Victor said to Wang Xiong.
"I am also very sincere. We have always been peace-loving." Wang Xiong replied with a smile.
"Okay, since we are both sincere, I will start to state my conditions. I hope you can make a concession regarding the South China Sea issue." Victor said to Wang Xiong.
"Give? How? I don't know what you mean?" Wang Xiong sneered: "Why should we give in and not you?"
"The sky is brighter when you take a step back. If you take a step back, nothing will happen. All these conflicts can be avoided, right?" Victor replied with a smile. He could see it now, so Wang Xiong
The possibility of taking a step back is really low.
"No, it's just a temporary avoidance. There will still be conflicts when the time comes, and those countries will still seize our fishing boats and exploit our oil. Haha, Admiral Victor. If your fishermen were attacked like this, what would you do?
Such a reaction? Especially when something like this happens on your territory. As American soldiers, can you endure it? I know, you definitely can't. Planes have bombed them long ago. And we Chinese soldiers have endured it for decades.
you
Can you imagine what we feel in our hearts? Don’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you. Why would you impose pain on others that you don’t want? In fact, if you, the United States, were not supporting those countries behind our backs in order to contain us,
Do they dare to go against us? Certainly not." Wang Xiong said coldly: "Also, our fishermen are the ones who suffer the most in the world. But now, here, as long as I, Wang Xiong, are here, I will not let anyone
On their heads.”
"In this case, we have nothing to talk about?" Victor said in a deep voice. He was also helpless now. He was just a soldier. He knew what Wang Xiong said was reasonable. But as a soldier, who is not
Help whoever is justified. Instead, you must obey orders and put the interests of the country first. On the other hand, it is not so important whether it is justified or not. In no war in the world, there are not so many justices and injustices.
The king defeats the bandits, this has been the principle since ancient times.
"I've said it before. You can take a step back, and your American sphere of influence can withdraw from here. In that case, the whole world can be a better place. You are right. If you take a step back, the world will be brighter." Wang Xiong said with a smile.
"Hahaha." Victor laughed.
"We have taken a step back. How many years has it been? When did we, the United States, take a step back? In the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and during the confrontation with the Soviet Union, we took a step back. But since the collapse of the Soviet Union, who has ever asked us to take a step back?
Half a point." Victor said with a smile.
"Now is the time for you to withdraw. You should set an example to the world. Prove that the United States is reasonable and not overbearing." Wang Xiong said and shook his head. Today's negotiations are destined to be very difficult. He said
The difference with Victor's opinion is really huge. Strategically speaking, the South China Sea is very important and is called the center of Asia.
The China Sea is a shipping channel for China, Japan, South Korea and other countries. It is also known as the Persian Gulf and is rich in oil and gas resources. The United States also wants a share of the pie. All these make it difficult for the United States to give up on the South China Sea. For Wang Xiong,
US power will never be allowed to continue to exist in the South China Sea. This is a very different point. Both sides will almost never retreat.
"This is impossible. Wang Xiong, you have to think about it carefully. We can take a step back and admit that the South China Sea is yours. But you must also let us maintain our influence in the South China Sea." Victor shook his head, but his tone changed.
A lot, at least admitting this is of great significance.
Wang Xiong also stood up and started walking around the room.
"No. You must withdraw completely." Wang Xiong thought for a while and said decisively. In Wang Xiong's view, this is an opportunity and cannot be compromised, because if there is a compromise, the South China Sea issue will still be a problem. Maybe then
If any problem arises again, the United States has now admitted it and may return in a few days. This time, the matter must be completely resolved. There will be no more disputes in the future. Once and for all.
"Wang Xiong, don't you ask your senior management for instructions?" Victor looked at Wang Xiong in disbelief. He didn't expect that Wang Xiong would directly veto it. In his opinion, this was already a big deal.
Temptation and giving in. Wang Xiong should accept it.
"Here, I have the right to make my own decisions." Wang Xiong said with a smile.
"Okay. If that's the case, then there's nothing to talk about. Let's just fight to solve the problem." Victor said coldly.
"I'll stay with you until the end." Wang Xiong said in a deep voice, with fighting spirit appearing all over his body.
Wang Xiong took Zhang Long and others out of the Kennedy aircraft carrier. Victor punched the table in front of him hard. This was a situation he had never encountered before, and he felt that he had encountered someone this time.
