Chapter 81 Alliance Group

When Mu Haoyang came back, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was handling requests made by various countries.

Strictly speaking, this matter has nothing to do with Mu Haoyang, but Du Xiaolei called him over.

"Foreign Minister, you don't need to ask for my opinion on this?" [bsp;    "It's not that simple." Du Xiaolei handed a briefing to Mu Haoyang, saying, "Today, more than 170 countries have requested that we can transfer technology. If it's just agricultural technology, it's a good thing for the benefit of all mankind, and we're definitely happy to transfer it to other countries. The problem is that this is not only agricultural technology, but also our latest achievements in the field of controllable fusion. According to information provided by intelligence agencies, we are at least five years ahead of the United States and ten years ahead of Europe in this field."

Mu Haoyang frowned and opened the document.

"More importantly, this technology can be used not only in the agricultural field, but also in many strategic fields such as military, industrial, and aerospace."

“That is, it is impossible for us to transfer the technology.”

Du Xiaolei nodded and said, "The head of state has a clear meaning. No matter what the reason, we cannot transfer controllable fusion technology for at least ten years."

"Isn't that all?" Mu Haoyang smiled and said, "At worst, you can make a profit by providing food to other countries."

“It’s not that simple.”

"Yeah?"

"It is certain to provide food. As long as the agricultural factories operate smoothly, we can export at least 100 million tons of food next year to meet the needs of all allies." Du Xiaolei handed over another document to Mu Haoyang and said, "This is our investigation. Our eight allies, four quasi-alliances, and the Japanese-occupied areas, the food gap next year will be about 110 million tons, and we can export up to 140 million tons."

“There are still savings.”

"Of course, this is the result of continuing food controls. If the control is removed, the savings will be around 100 million tons."

"Well, what do you mean?"

Du Xiaolei smiled and said, "This is only 2037. According to scientists' predictions, climate change in some regions will not weaken but will intensify. Perhaps in the next decade, climate disasters will be the biggest problem, and our grain production increase rate cannot keep up with the production cuts in other countries. It is expected that in 2038, our allies alone will have a food shortage of nearly 300 million tons, and we can only export at most 200 million tons."

"Two million tons?"

"Not only, our agricultural factories can increase production by 200 million tons in 2038, but our traditional agriculture will reduce production by at least 100 million tons in 2038. More importantly, the rescue operation will end next year, and we cannot keep the country under control. After the food control is lifted, social consumption will increase significantly, so in 2038, whether it can export 200 million tons of grain is a problem."

"Then build a few more agricultural factories."

"This is already the limit. The key is not agricultural factories, but the construction speed of fusion nuclear power plants cannot keep up."

"this……"

"I have mentioned to the Head of State that some allies should help master controllable fusion technology, at least to use the power of the allies to build fusion nuclear power plants."

Mu Haoyang's brows jumped a few times, looking very surprised.

"To be precise, with our help, some allies will build fusion nuclear power plants without transferring technology. Because the construction cycle of the power plant is more than five years and cannot keep up with the speed of grain production reduction, we must find a feasible solution to the food problem in the next five years."

"What's the solution?"

"In a cooperative way, let allies provide funds, first accelerate our fusion nuclear power plant construction project, strive to more than double the output of agricultural factories, and help some allies produce their own food and overcome difficulties together by providing electricity."

"What does this have to do with the military?"

"This is a strategic plan, and it is naturally related to the military." Du Xiaolei paused for a moment and said, "Although there is no military matter in actual operation, the head of state and the prime minister believe that the economic cooperation should be carried out in a way that comprehensively integrates the economic systems of each allied countries, establishes an economic circle with our country as the core, and establishes a common economy to strengthen relations with allied countries, obtain resources from allied countries, and provide enough electricity to allied countries, but this kind of economic integration must be based on a more reliable political and military alliance, especially on the basis of security. Obviously, as long as security is mentioned, it must be related to the military."

Mu Haoyang sighed and said, "What do you want me to do?"

"As the military representative, I propose strategic security guarantee programs to Pakistan, North Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, Myanmar and Bangladesh to enhance military cooperation and exchanges. Then I will come forward in person to do ideological work for these countries at the diplomatic level. If everything goes well, the Head of State will visit these countries at the end of August and formally propose to establish a strategic alliance system based on common security."

"End of August?"

"Time is very tight, so you have to start your action as soon as possible."

"Foreign Minister, I'm not even prepared for my thoughts."

"A year ago, who would have thought that we could work so efficiently?" Du Xiaolei smiled and said, "If you need it, I will arrange a diplomatic plane for you."

"No matter how you say it, you have to give me some time to prepare."

"Okay, two days are enough?"

Mu Haoyang was stunned and looked at Du Xiaolei in disbelief.

"This is the plan of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If you take it, it will definitely help." Du Xiaolei took out the third document, "Go to the head of state or tomorrow to talk to, and then go to Islamabad. You have a very good relationship with the top leaders of Pakistan, and Pakistan is the most reliable ally, so you first visit Pakistan. Having a negotiation with Pakistan means that it is a demonstration, which will definitely be helpful for the subsequent negotiations."

"What if the negotiation can't be done?"

"It must be negotiated, no if."

Mu Haoyang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, I will do my best."

"General, you have to do your best and you have to succeed, and there is no second option."

Mu Haoyang nodded and said nothing.

The next morning, he went to the head of state and talked about this matter with Li Pingko. As Du Xiaolei said, Li Pingko regarded the food crisis as an opportunity to expand his strategic influence and as the basis for establishing a strategic alliance organization, which is also a key step for China to become a global power.

On June 29, Mu Haoyang flew to Islamabad on a diplomatic plane.

Relatively speaking, the situation in Pakistan is not serious. First, Pakistan has not been greatly affected. There were no serious natural disasters in the southern Indus Delta region, and the food yield reduction rate is less than 10%. Second, Pakistan's economic development level is firmly ranked first in South Asia, and it has enough capital to buy food in the international market. Third, Pakistan has the closest relationship with China and has received assistance from China. Fourth, Pakistan has participated in the rescue operation and is one of the main member states. By participating in the rescue operation, it has obtained food quotas in the Global Meteorological Affairs Organization. That is, the food organization established by fifteen member states provides food support to the major countries participating in the rescue operation, ensuring that the participating countries can mobilize sufficient industrial forces to complete the production task of the "angel" aircraft.

However, this situation will definitely not be maintained for a long time.

Not to mention, after the rescue operation is over, Pakistan's annual food quota will drop by 15 million tons. Although it is nothing compared to sales, no one can guarantee that the climate in the Indus Delta will not undergo drastic changes in the next few years.

First of all, cooperation with Pakistan is also related to Pakistan's industrial foundation.

Among the eight allies, Pakistan's industrial strength ranks first, second only to Malaysia's technical strength, and has the foundation for building fusion nuclear power plants and agricultural factories. More importantly, Pakistan has enough technical workers to make significant contributions to the division of production labor.

As Du Xiaolei said, if you want to win over Pakistan, you must first improve security.

Mu Haoyang's trip to Islamabad was to convince the Pakistani leaders that China would definitely provide and have the ability to provide security.

With Mu Haoyang's influence, his words are strong enough to convince.

After only three days in Islamabad, Mu Haoyang convinced the Pakistani leader, or convinced the Pakistani leader of his commitment.

What we have to do next has nothing to do with Mu Haoyang.

According to Li Pingko's arrangement, after Mu Haoyang, Du Xiaolei will visit Islamabad and propose a complete alliance plan to Pakistan, including in-depth cooperation in the fields of diplomacy, economy, trade, science and technology, culture, and the benefits that cooperation can bring to Pakistan.

This is an opportunity for China and also for Pakistan.

With the preparation of Mu Haoyang, Du Xiaolei's trip to Islamabad achieved a major success.

Of course, the Pakistani authorities still value security the most.

Although India was in a slump after the First Indian Ocean War and Pakistan's security situation improved greatly, the potential threat was still serious, especially before the Sino-Japanese War. India's development speed was very fast, and it far exceeded Pakistan in terms of land area, population, natural resources, etc. In time, India will definitely become the number one power in South Asia again. For Pakistan, India's rise again will be irreversible, so putting security first is still Pakistan's main policy.

With security, everything else is easy to say.

From another perspective, if China is willing to assume security obligations to Pakistan, it will naturally cooperate extensively with Pakistan in areas such as the economy. To put it bluntly, if there is no economic interest, China has no reason to make security commitments to Pakistan.

Of course, Pakistan is just the beginning.
