Chapter 1284: Hegemony of China!
Pentagon, Strategic Research Room.
US President Tripp, Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, consultant to the Pentagon and Hudson Institute, director of the National Defense Analysis Institute, and several senior generals gathered here to discuss the incident of China's desire to establish a military base in Myanmar.
The Minister of Defense said, "What we can predict now is that Myanmar has already shown signs that it is moving closer to China in full swing, and our previous plan to win over has completely failed. If China acquires a military base in Myanmar, China will break through the military blockade we have created for him in Asia."
At this time, the Hudson Institute adviser said: "We have been paying attention to China's investment trends in Myanmar, including the strategic oil and gas pipeline, the recently started China-Myanmar railway highway, and the information that China wants to establish a military base in Myanmar. Overall, China has been making arrangements a long time ago, and now it is time for them to gain."
"The oil and gas pipeline bypasses Malacca, and our military base in Singapore becomes a decoration. After the railway construction is completed, China will have the ability to directly transport materials to the Indian Ocean. I analyzed that they are likely to seek a naval and air force base in the Bay of Bengal. Water, roads, air transportation convenience and logistics support are not a problem."
The director of the National Defense Analysis Institute said: "What I see is that China will break through the island chain blockade we set up for them artificially. Then the first island chain we have vigorously deployed before will completely lose its meaning. China has the ability to directly send troops to the Indian Ocean and look out for other seas."
"At that time, their nuclear submarines will cruise in the oceans unscrupulously. If a war breaks out, it will be difficult for us to control their actions, especially offensive nuclear submarines with strategic nuclear warheads, which will become a nightmare for the United States. After all, we cannot block the entire Pacific Ocean."
"My advice is that if it is possible to undermine their cooperation plan now, the United States should destroy China's plan at all costs, because once China successfully establishes a naval and air force base in Myanmar, it will not only give them the ability to directly enter the ocean, but also allow China to defend the Strait of Malacca, which will be very unfavorable for us."
"If they have a naval force in the Indian Ocean, once China attacks Taiwan, or even Japan, and the United States aircraft carrier formations in Asia are attacked, our military support will become very difficult because of this nail."
Tripp knocked on the table and said, "This is a conspiracy of the Chinese. They started planning a long time ago. What a group of sinister guys."
"What we have to do now is to try our best to stop him. This is no longer necessary. We should discuss what methods and means should be used to stop their plans."
After everyone sank for a while, the Hudson Institute adviser said: "You can call the President of Myanmar directly, tell him the United States' opinions, and put pressure on him. Also, let the intelligence department find opposition voices within the Myanmar government. We can use it to provoke internal conflicts and make it more difficult to continue this matter. And you can instigate the Burmese people and ask them to stand up and march, which will put a lot of pressure on the Myanmar government. Finally, it is to notify India, let them directly participate in the opposition and issue the strongest resistance, because once China has a naval and air force base in the Indian Ocean, it is equivalent to inserting a knife behind India."
He is worthy of being a strategic planning professional, and he thought of so many ways to siege China in a short time.
Tripp nodded and added: "Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, the Philippines, and our NATO allies, can all stand up and speak out to jointly denounce Myanmar, which will put him in international public opinion pressure."
Just the next morning, at the regular press conference of the National Academy of Fisheries,
A reporter asked: "I wonder, there are recent rumors that China is actively seeking to own a military base in Myanmar. I would like to ask what the US government thinks about this matter."
Many people listened quietly to the spokesperson's answer.
"Yes, we have heard about this. I can only say that China, as a big country, is constantly showing its muscles. They want more freedom and greater control, of course, in Asia."
"But what I want to say is that Asia is not China. China is eager to show its hegemony. This will not do any good for them and will only arouse the alertness of all Asian countries. Here I would also like to give Myanmar a message that China has a saying called "Skinned with a tiger, and I hope they can understand the meaning of this sentence."
The reporters raised their hands one after another, and a reporter was called and asked immediately: "I just heard you use the saying of Chinese hegemony. Do you think China's move is a challenge to the United States' global leadership?"
The spokesperson replied: "Yes, hegemony, that's the word. China's current behavior is somewhat dangerous and brings a very unsafe feeling to other Asian countries."
Following closely behind, other countries also began to comment:
Japanese Prime Minister An Xiaosan said in an interview: "We are very concerned about this matter and hope that China will not forcibly destroy the hard-won peaceful environment in Asia."
Vietnam: "I don't know what China intends to do in this move, but it will make countries around the South China Sea worry about national security."
Australia: "China's move may intensify the arms upgrade of Asian countries."
Singapore, President Lee Yaohui said: "China's behavior is very dangerous, which will make Asian countries nervous. We hope China will act cautiously."
South Korea, President Kim Tae-chung was asked this question and said: "The year before yesterday, China set up a military base in Djibouti, which has violated the remarks that China has insisted on not expanding force. Now China has frequently deployed troops to the outside world, which makes me worry."
In an interview, the Indian President said fiercely: "We firmly oppose that China's establishment of a military base in the Indian Ocean will seriously threaten India's homeland security. I am ready to send Prime Minister Dimo to Myanmar for a visit to Myanmar, consult with Myanmar President Sai Mokang, and discuss border security issues."
The outside world was full of news, and this news attracted great attention. However, China and Myanmar remained unmoved at this time.
On Friday, the Blue Hall of the South Building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ regular press conference, host Sister Ying.
