The country adjusted its military defense strategy, and the most stimulated by the Republic,

In terms of national characteristics, Russia is the most aggressive nation in the world. From the day it was born, Russia has been expanding outward. In just a few hundred years, it expanded from the inland Grand Principal of Moscow to the Russian Empire. Even though the Red Empire has collapsed, Russia is still the country with the largest land area in the world.

As mentioned earlier, the biggest problem facing Russia is "labor shortage".

Influenced by many factors such as habits, natural environment, social environment, etc., after entering the first century, Russia's population has been decreasing at a rate of about 10,000 yuan per year. It was not basically stable until 2014 and resumed growth in 20166. According to the analysis of Russian sociologists, Russia will not be expected to solve the problem of "labor shortage" until 2035.

Russia relies on resources to maintain development.

The problem is that resources have been developed late.

If the world situation is relatively stable, Ross can still benefit from it. If a cold war breaks out again, Russia will become a victim.

The United States will inevitably embark on the path of external expansion and attack its competitors from all aspects.

For Russia, it is obviously the most unwise choice to act as a "subker" to compete with the United States. If the United States follows the United States to contain the Republic, it will also cause heavy losses. By 20166, bilateral trade between the Republic and Russia accounted for 35% of Russia's foreign trade. Russia's exported resources flowed to the Republic. Under this circumstance, Russia must maintain relatively good relations with the Republic.

The United States' foreign expansion will make Russia's international living environment worse.

As a tool in the hands of the United States, NATO has always been a "big trouble" in Russia. The United States will definitely use NATO to accelerate the expansion of NATO and squeeze Russia's living space. Through a small-scale war, Russia can block Georgia from the gate of NATO (according to NATO regulations, no country preparing to join NATO cannot have military conflicts with other countries). However, Russia cannot make Ukraine unable to become a NATO member through war because Ukraine is not a small country like Georgia.

Ukdan joins NATO. Russia will never be at peace.

In early July, Russia issued the "National Strategic Security Report" in the new region. It clearly emphasized that by 203, the Russian army will be built into a powerful national defense force that can defend national interests and maintain national living space. Complete the renewal plan for weapons and equipment. Improve the combat capabilities of the army to cope with large-scale wars, high-intensity wars and high-tech wars.

Unlike previous government reports, the Russian government proposed a detailed plan to achieve destinations.

Before 2035, Russia will build three large aircraft carrier battle groups for the Northern Fleet and the Pacific Fleet. Increase the number of attack nuclear submarines to 32. Increase the number of strategic nuclear submarines to 16. Establish a naval aviation force with ocean-going combat capabilities; the army will lay off 2.15 million troops. Fully realize informatization. Procure new weapons such as fourth-generation main battle tanks. Have the ability to win large-scale regional war zones; the air force and ground combat aircraft will remain at around 2,100. By 2035, use the fourth-generation fighter jets to replace the active main equipment. Ensure that the scale of the fourth-generation fighter jets is more than 500. The ability to defend airspace and seize air supremacy in war.

It can be said that the military development plan of Rossland is very ambitious.

What is interesting to the outside world is not whether Russia will compete with the United States, but whether Ross has the ability to achieve the goals mentioned in the plan by 2035.

Even if all targets are achieved according to Russia's price levels, at least $500 billion in additional military expenses will be required.

With Russia's national strength, it is indeed a question worth discussing.

In addition to Russia, the EU has also reacted greatly to the US military defense planning, especially France.

Since rejoining NATO in 2009, France has adjusted its basic national strategy, changed its previous way of moving away from the United States and independently, and paid more attention to its relationship with NATO member states. However, this failed to fundamentally change France's idea of ​​becoming the "Boss of Europe".

After the end of the financial crisis in 2019, France has been singing "European power".

According to France's intention, establishing a European community with "continental countries" as the main body will be the only way out for Europe in the future. To this end, France has made major adjustments to its basic strategy, not only no longer "sing against the stage" with the United States, but also win over Germany and Italy everywhere, hoping to complete the political integration process of Europe on the basis of France, Germany and Italy.

However, not many people believe that Europe can complete the process of political integration by 2035.

The United Kingdom, Spain and other pro-American countries will not easily make concessions on the issue of political integration. Germany, Italy and other countries also have their own local interests and have conflicts of interest with France and will not be willing to act as "little brothers" around France. A large number of countries with dual identities such as "EU member states" and "NATO member states" will establish security on the basis of NATO, rather than on the basis of EU. France does not have the ability to provide security guarantees for EU member states, and it is even more impossible to replace NATO and Russia in military confrontation.

Many factors determine that Europe is still a mess.

EU member states have the most serious differences on whether the United States needs to interfere in European affairs. Although almost all EU member states believe that they should maintain economic and financial independence and even have the ability to compete with the United States, even France has to admit that the EU cannot abandon the United States in the fields of politics, diplomacy and security.

The EU's biggest concern is not whether the US expansion policy will pose a threat, but whether it will be dragged into the water.

On the issue of fighting Iran, European countries have very consistent attitudes: they do not object or support them.

The United States has clearly expanded its military strength and is preparing to find an opponent with sufficient strength to "fight the Cold War". From the EU's standpoint, it is neither to help nor not to help.

The country is truly at the forefront of the storm.

On June 22, less than half an hour after the US House of Representatives approved the Air Force to purchase additional F-22 fighter jets, Pan Yunsheng came to the capital with relevant information.

After reading the documents and listening to Yun Sheng's verbal report, Zhao Rundong's eyebrows were locked together.

"Land Company's analysis and evaluation has not been obtained yet." Pan Yunsheng sighed and said, "We only managed to get some content from other channels. Like previous speculations,Land Company regards us as the biggest threat in the report, not a potential threat, but a real threat."

Zhao Rundong hesitated and said, "What is the specific meaning?"

"I don't know." Pan Yunsheng shook his head, "But it can be speculated. I think the main reason why Rand Company suggested that the US government and Congress expand their arms is that there will be military conflicts with us in the future. Whether this is the case, or whether the US government and Congress adopted Rand Company's advice, we will soon know the result."

"Look at the action?"

Pan Yunsheng nodded and said, "In a few months, the US Congress will review the military development plan submitted by the Pentagon, and there will naturally be results."

"It should not be beyond our expectations." Zhao Rundong smiled coldly and said, "The United States' long-term strategy is to establish an opponent and develop and grow in competition with opponents. After the end of the Cold War, the United States has been looking for such an opponent. Russia has been busy with its own care, and we are burying our heads on development. In the end, there is no clear definition of what 'terrorism' is. After more than ten years of work, the United States really needs to find a decent opponent, otherwise its national strategy will be greatly affected."

“No doubt, we are the most ideal choice.”

"The key depends on how we deal with it." Zhao Rundong hesitated for a moment, "I contacted Lao Ji the day before yesterday."

Pan Yunsheng was stunned and immediately asked, "Where is he? He has returned from Huashan?"

"I came back early, and later I went to Mount Emei and Jiuzhaigou. I heard that I would go to Mount Tai after a few days of rest."

"It's so relaxed and comfortable." Pan Yunsheng breathed, "But it makes us so tired."

Zhao Rundong smiled and shook his head, saying, "I talked to Lao Ji about the current international situation on the phone. Lao Ji's attitude is the same as before. He believes that we should focus on domestic construction and cannot confront the United States head-on until the most important problem is solved."

Pan Yunsheng nodded. "Lao Ji has always insisted on domestic development as the main focus."

"In fact, no matter who is in this position, it will focus on domestic development. For at least ten to fifteen years, we will not be able to face the United States head-on."

"This is our national policy?"

Zhao Rundong nodded and said, "My idea is that no matter what the United States does, as long as it does not pose a threat to our fundamental national interests, we will not care about so much and do our own things."

"The problem is that the United States will not let peace of mind develop."

"This is the key to the problem. If we want to develop with peace of mind, we must make the United States afraid, dare not provoke, or at least dare not have head-on conflicts with us. As long as we have this ability, we can devote more energy to solving domestic problems."

Pan Yunsheng quickly thought about it and said, "The solution is not impossible, it is still very simple."

"Tell me, maybe we thought of going together."

“Announce our nuclear capabilities and modify nuclear policies.”

Zhao Rundong smiled. "It seems that we have really thought of going together. At present, the way to deter the United States and prevent the United States from acting rashly is to announce our nuclear capabilities and modify the basic national security policy of "not using nuclear weapons first under any circumstances."

"We can learn from Russia. At least for more than ten years, the United States has not dared to do anything to Russia."

"However, I have to discuss this with Lao Peng and Pang Xinglong. I called them before you came, and it was almost here."

"Then we'll have dinner here at noon, so let the chef get a few more dishes."

"Don't worry, I've ordered it long ago."

Soon, Peng Maobang, Pang Xinglong and Huang Guowei came to the head of state. The topic mentioned began, and several people started to discuss it again. (To be continued,)
