.Reporting combat operations is not difficult, and it is familiar to Mu Haoyang.

What made him a little unhappy was that after the report, Yi Yuanyang not only did not try to keep him, but also deliberately asked him to leave, and then a wider discussion was held. Although it was reasonable in theory, Mu Haoyang was just a lieutenant general and was not qualified to participate in the discussion of national affairs, but Yi Yuanyang's attitude made him a little unbearable. Fortunately, Mu Haoyang had long been accustomed to it, and his views on Yi Yuanyang were the same as most soldiers.

Mu Haoyang waited outside for more than two hours before Huang Zhibo walked out rushing out.

"Mr. Huang..."

"Let's go, get in the car."

Mu Haoyang nodded and accelerated his pace to keep up with Huang Zhibo.

When the car left the head of state, Huang Zhibo breathed a sigh of relief and his emotions calmed down.

"What happened?"

"It's no big deal. Fortunately, Lao Fu and Lao Lu are in charge." Huang Zhibo shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Li Pingkou proposed to take this opportunity to return India to the southern Tibet region, but was rejected by Yi Yuanchao. Fortunately, Lao Fu came forward and proposed to use the southern Tibet region as a bargaining chip."

"Maybe it's just a negotiating strategy."

"Strategy?"

"No matter what, we did not send troops to southern Tibet, and the reason for sending troops was not to recapture southern Tibet, so we have no reason to propose that India return the southern Tibet."

Huang Zhibo frowned and said, "You boy is very quick-responsive."

Mu Haoyang smiled and said nothing.

"Later I thought about it, and this should be the arrangement made by Lao Fu. We should advance as a retreat, take advantage of the southern Tibet issue and get Port Blair."

"Port Blair is in our hands, so there shouldn't be a big problem."

"But I couldn't get you the chance."

“What opportunity?”

"I originally wanted you to participate in the negotiations as a military representative, and you had similar experiences during the Second Korean War and were rejected."

"This is not a big deal."

"Boy, don't underestimate it." Huang Zhibo slapped Mu Haoyang's thigh and said, "Excellent soldiers only need to fight on the battlefield or on the battlefield, and outstanding generals must also learn to fight outside the battlefield. In the current world, war cannot solve all problems, it is just a means to solve problems. If we can get everything in the war, we will not announce a ceasefire, and we will not negotiate a ceasefire with India. For any soldier, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, otherwise I will not try my best to fight for you. It's just that Lao Lu is afraid of being gossiped and has no opinion."

Mu Haoyang smiled and said nothing.

"But this is also good. You can stay in Beijing for a few more days to accompany your wife and children."

"Who is the military representative?"

"Teng Yaohui."

Mu Haoyang was stunned and didn't understand very much.

"Teng Yaohui probably doesn't know Yi Yuanchao's proposal."

"Why did he nominate Commander Teng to represent the military in the negotiations?"

"Do you need to say it?" Huang Zhibo smiled and shook his head, saying, "In recent years, Yi Yuanchao has basically no real power, and all major matters are decided by Lao Fu. The key is not that Li Pingko becomes prime minister, but that the military is on Lao Fu's side on major issues. The year after that, Lao Fu will retire. Although arrangements have been made, Li Pingko will definitely not be able to conquer the situation. If Yi Yuanchao can take the opportunity to win over several senior generals with real power, I am afraid that I, the chief of staff, will have to stand aside. At present, Lao Teng is the best choice."

Mu Haoyang breathed a sigh of relief and did not answer the conversation.

The relationship between Huang Zhibo and Teng Yaohui is not harmonious. Yi Yuanchao must have wanted to use Teng Yaohui to restrain Huang Zhibo and gain military support. Just as this is the case, it is not only Huang Zhibo, but also Li Pingkou. If Yi Yuanchao adopted Fu Xiubo's method, then in five years, the next head of state would not be able to replace him.

"I mean, go talk to Lao Teng."

"I'll go talk?" Mu Haoyang was startled.

Huang Zhibo nodded and said, "No matter what, you are his old subordinate, and you have a better relationship with him, so you can speak more easily."

"The question is, what to talk about?"

Huang Zhibo pondered for a while and said, "Do you think South Asia will calm down?"

"Of course not." Mu Haoyang answered very simply.

The armistice is only superficial. On a deeper level, the conflict between China and India has not only not been resolved, but is more prominent because of this war. Although China focuses on Port Blair for longer-term interests, in India's view, China is already preparing to resolve the problem of southern Tibet. To put it bluntly, India will think that China will send troops to southern Tibet in a few years.

The result is obvious that no matter what the negotiations are, the signing of a armistice treaty is only signed.

Maybe five years, maybe ten years later, the war will break out again.

As a defeated country, India will not sit idly by and wait for death. Instead, it will pay more attention to national defense construction and even regard national defense construction as its number one important task.

This is exactly in line with the United States' appetite, so the United States will spare no effort to support India.

By the same token, Japan will also help India rebuild its military power.

South Asia will not usher in peace.

"So do you think we can win the next war?"

"No doubt." Mu Haoyang answered equally straightforwardly.

The Second Ministry has confirmed that India has lost its nuclear capabilities, and even if it still has several nuclear warheads, it will not have much threat. At least for a long time in the future, India's strategic threat can be ignored. By the time India develops, China's military power will also be greatly enhanced.

In the next war, China's advantages will be more obvious.

"As you mean, should we shift our strategic priorities?"

"The purpose of entering South Asia is not to defeat India or to regain lost territory, but to fundamentally ensure that our strategic route is not threatened. The problem is that we are not doing well enough. This route must pass through the South China Sea, and we have not been able to control the South China Sea yet."

“That is, we have to turn our focus to Southeast Asia?”

Mu Haoyang nodded and said, "Using the South China Sea dispute, we have enough reason to strengthen our influence in Southeast Asia, and it is best to replace the United States."

"Obviously, this is not an easy task."

"It must take a lot of time, so I have to hurry up."

Huang Zhibo smiled and said, "You go to Teng Yaohui and just talk about this."

"this……"

"I have some information there, you can take it to take. After clarifying your ideas, go find Teng Yaohui." Huang Zhibo paused and said, "He is a smart person. You don't need to say it explicitly. You just need to emphasize one problem, that is, we will face more difficult challenges. If you don't advance, you will retreat. There is no third option."

Mu Haoyang nodded, indicating that he understood Huang Zhibo's meaning.

The contradiction between Huang Zhibo and Teng Yaohui is mainly concentrated on the idea of ​​building an army, that is, Huang Zhibo emphasizes the development of a military force that is both offensive and defensive, while Teng Yaohui pays more attention to the navy and believes that it should focus on building an offensive navy rather than spending more effort to reorganize the army.

In addition, the two have a lot in common.

The most prominent thing is that the two have completely consistent strategic ideas, both believe that expansionary military policies should be pursued and that the military should focus on improving the combat efficiency of the army. In terms of grand strategy, both believe that only a tough foreign policy can safeguard the fundamental interests of the country.

Of course, this was also influenced by Fu Xiubo.

It is this common point that determines that Teng Yaohui cannot become the spokesperson of Yi Yuan Dynasty.

The reason is very simple. Yi Yuandao was too cowardly in foreign policy, and believed that the expansion policy implemented by Fu Xiubo was too radical and should be more moderate.

Twenty years ago, Yi Yuanchao had no mistake in his understanding.

But now, moderate policies certainly won't have any benefits.

This is not personal ambition or national ambition, but an inevitable law of national development.

As early as before the outbreak of the Second Korean War, Fu Xiubo proposed that China must attach great importance to global interests in order to promote the continued development of the country. According to the comments of some scholars, it was Fu Xiubo's speech in 2013 that intensified the conflict between China and the United States and prompted the United States to launch the Second Korean War.

In fact, when Fu Xiubo made this speech, China had no way out.

By around 2013, the financial crisis that broke out in 2008 not only did not subside, but also began to spread, which had an impact on the real economy. Under the circumstances at that time, if China did not adopt special policies, it would inevitably become the biggest victim of the financial crisis deliberately triggered by Western financial groups. As for the final result, it must be very tragic. After becoming a victim of Western financial groups, the construction achievements accumulated by China over the past 30 years will be wasted, and it may even lose its economic sovereignty and become a semi-colonial economy.

If China wants to make a breakthrough, it must find a way out.

From the perspective of economic development laws, if China wants to continue to move forward, it must also find a way out.

The reason is simple. When 1.4 billion people live a basically prosperous life and want to live a better life, they cannot just sell cheap labor. They must enter high-value-added industries, challenge Western developed countries in high-end industries, and improve social production efficiency through economic structure transformation.

It can be said that the contradiction between China and Western developed countries is irreconcilable.

Even if it rises peacefully, it will sooner or later replace the United States.

In fact, China cannot rise peacefully at all. The reason is very simple. If policy adjustments are not made, there will be no opportunity for rise; if foreign policy is adjusted, it will not rise peacefully.

For a country and a nation, it is never possible to expect to become powerful through the alms of others.

If China is just a small country, it may still be able to rely on the Western world led by the United States and enter the ranks of developed countries like Singapore. Unfortunately, China is not a small country, but a country with a vast territory and a large population. As long as China becomes a developed country, it will inevitably replace the United States and become the most powerful country in the world, and the Eastern civilization represented by China will also surpass Western civilization.

Obviously, the United States and the Western world will never allow China to grow and grow.

Since it is impossible to become a world power through peaceful rise, China has only one choice and uses its strength to strive for what it deserves.
