In President Amilijian's office, President Deng's incredulous voice echoed.
Defense Secretary Austin had already made it clear enough. According to the worst-case scenario given by the think tank of the Department of Defense, the plan was to take the next step.
Of course, Amilijian had the absolute strength to crush China, but China was not a pushover.
On paper, excluding the local police force, China's current military strength was close to 410,000.
Xia Country had 200,000 elite troops, 100,000 elite navy, and 100,000 elite air force.
In terms of land forces, China had 10 mechanical infantry divisions, 5 armored assault divisions, and 5 long-range airborne divisions.
Its main equipment was 9036 armored vehicles, 4518 third-generation tanks, 2456 helicopters, 3800 towed howitzers, and 1200 self-propelled howitzers.
In terms of the air force, China had 10 aviation divisions and more than 3124 fighter jets of various types. Among them, there were 260 world-famous advanced fifth-generation fighter jets.
In terms of the navy, Xia Country had three major fleets, namely the coastal, ocean, and Pacific fleets, as well as three marine brigades.
China's main fleet consisted of three 70,000-ton conventional aircraft carriers, six 40,000-ton assault ships, six 30,000-ton landing ships, six 10,000-ton cruisers, 12 8000-ton destroyer, and 24 5500-ton frigates.
In addition, China also had 18 conventional submarines, a total of 75 main-force warships, and its total naval weight was as high as 1.05 million tons.
Although China only had a population of 21.35 million, its last year's gross domestic product was as high as 1.74 trillion dollars. Its financial revenue was as high as 574.2 billion dollars, and its military expenditure was as high as 86.6 billion dollars. Its conventional military strength was ranked fifth in the world all year round.
Amilijian, Northern Bear, Dragon Country, Asan, and Xia Country. This was the conventional military ranking listed by the major military statistics agencies.
In fact, everyone with discerning eyes knew that if one did not consider nuclear power, war potential, strategic depth, and so on, China was the true fourth in the world. The Chinese army could press the Wan Guo brand army like A'san to the ground.
From many aspects, once a conventional war broke out between Amelia and China, if they wanted to minimize the losses, Amelia would indeed need to send half of the navy, half of the air force, and more than half of the land force.
Although China was small in size, the cohesion of its citizens was shockingly high. Once the two sides started a war, not only would Amilijian need to destroy the Chinese army, but all kinds of industrial technology, marine oil and gas resources, marine oil and gas mining technology, gold reserves, and so on would be the best supplements for Amilijian to make up for the losses in the war.
……
The atmosphere in the office was quiet for a long time. Old President Deng rubbed his temples as he felt a headache. Then, he looked at Defense Minister Austin and sighed.
" Mr. Austin, for the sake of world peace and for the sake of Amilijian, from tomorrow onwards, activate the emergency plan. Our army must enter combat readiness and be ready to head to the Pacific Ocean at any time.”
"Mr. President, our final negotiations with China have yet to begin. If we enter combat readiness at this time, will this…"
"Prepare for a rainy day, the general trend!" Old Deng interrupted Austin's speech and said two idioms in an unfamiliar manner.
Everyone was smart and instantly understood what Old Deng meant.
This did not mean that Amilijian would definitely start a war with China. Amilijian wanted to use his power to suppress others and obtain an absolute advantage in the subsequent negotiations.
Look, my army has already entered combat readiness. I'm not joking with you. I'm not scaring you.
If you don't sign the Nuclear Non-Expansion Treaty, hand over nuclear materials, or destroy nuclear facilities, then fine, I'll help you!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Old Deng slowly turned his head and looked at the office door.
"Please come in!"
Crack ~ Crack ~
The office door was pushed open, and the president's press secretary, Karina, quickly entered.
Karina hurried over to Joe and reported,""Mr. President, half an hour ago, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China officially sent a diplomatic note to our country. China wants to pay a state visit to our country. Do we agree to the state visit?”
"State visit…"
Old Deng was shocked and asked Karina,"Who's that?" Is it the Prime Minister of Xia Country?"
"No."
Karina shook her head." It's the king of Xia Country. He will personally set off and take a plane to Washington."”
When he heard that the person who came was actually the number one Lin Xuan of Xia Country, Old Deng's white eyebrows relaxed and he burst into laughter." As the lighthouse of civilization and the harbor of freedom, there is no doubt about the strength of Amilijian. It seems that the new king of China is not stupid. He is prepared to bow to us.”
Austin heaved a sigh of relief and added,""Mr. President, since China is ready to bow its head, can we postpone the war preparations? Or cancel it?"
"No!"
" We still have to enter a state of combat readiness," Old Deng smiled confidently." Only then will the new king realize how dangerous their situation is."”
Seeing that the situation in Xia country was developing in a good way and everything was under control, Vice President and Senate President Karis avoided this topic and said,
"Everyone, since the Bear Country has flattened the Crow Country's National Guard headquarters, causing a large number of casualties, the Crow Country has already announced that it has severed ties with the Bear Country.”
"This evening, Ulansky once again conveyed to us that he hopes that our country can abide by its promise and let the country join the Western Alliance.”
“NO、NO、NO…”
Old Deng shook his head and smiled." Everyone, the North Atlantic Convention Organization is a security and defense alliance.”
"According to the agreement of the organization, any member country of the Western Alliance, no matter which country is attacked by another country, all the member countries of the Western Alliance will unite against the enemy and declare war on it.”
" Tell Ulan Siki that a military exchange has already broken out between the Crow Kingdom and the Northern Bear Kingdom. There is a possibility of war between the two sides. Once the Crow Kingdom joins the Western Alliance, all members of the Western Alliance will declare war on the Northern Bear Kingdom. This will cause a world war.”
"Therefore, for the sake of world peace and to avoid a world war, please inform Mr. Ulansky clearly that the UK cannot join the Western Alliance for the time being.”
"However, please rest assured that the entire Western Alliance will be the strongest backing for Wu Country.”
Vice President Karis was not surprised by Old Deng's reply. After all, agreeing to let Crow join the Western Alliance was a lie. Even if there was no war between the two sides, it was impossible for America to let Crow become a member of the Western Alliance.
If Wu Country became a member of the Western Alliance, then there would no longer be a military buffer zone between the Western Alliance and Bear Country.
Just think about it, if one day, the Crow Kingdom felt that they were a Western member country and thought that the Bear Kingdom would not dare to do anything to them.
The Crow Kingdom was hot-headed and suddenly attacked the Bear Kingdom, and the Bear Kingdom sent troops to counterattack. According to the agreement of the organization, wouldn't the Western World declare war on the Bear Kingdom?
If the Western Alliance did not declare war on Bear Country, the entire organization would lose the spirit of the contract. Then, there would be no need for this organization to continue existing.
Moreover, the western world still needed to use the Crow Kingdom to further deplete the Bear Kingdom and make it lose its threat. This way, the western world could deal with the Dragon Kingdom with peace of mind.
Moreover, Amilijian had a deeper interest, which was to weaken the entire European continent at the same time.
The Bear Country and the Crow Country had to go to war, and the entire European Continent needed to be further weakened. Amilijian was the final winner.
