The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 964 Jumping up and down!

China and Yugoslavia have always maintained friendly relations.

Although Yugoslavia is gone, China still maintains friendly relations with Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia.

The two sides maintain close exchanges every year and have exchanges and cooperation in politics, economy, culture, sports and military.

China is actually not completely ignorant of the situation in the Balkan Peninsula.

On the contrary, China is very clear about the current situation in the Balkan Peninsula.

It is precisely because of this clarity that the leader feels that what Liu Tao said is true.

Furthermore, in Africa, the war has spread and the original order is collapsing. No matter what, the losses of European countries in Africa will definitely be the greatest.

Because European countries have the greatest interests there, especially France. Although it seems that it is no longer the suzerain state, it is actually still the suzerain state of some African countries, and even the franc is the legal currency of these countries.

This also means that France will suffer the most.

France hurriedly dispatched troops to Africa to suppress the rebels because these African countries were too important to France and France could not afford the heavy blow of losing these African countries.

If France loses these African countries, its annual revenue will be greatly reduced, and it may no longer be able to maintain its current high social welfare.

However, the French army's performance was not strong. It failed to eliminate the rebels and quell the war cleanly. Instead, those places became a quagmire, and the French army was trapped in it and unable to extricate itself.

France has 47.2 active troops, and 8 of them have been transferred to Africa in four batches. But so far, the rebel forces have been growing, while the coalition forces composed of France and government forces have been declining. The French army has lost more than 7000 people so far.

Last month, France announced that it would expand its military by 10 troops, but even if these 10 troops were deployed to Africa, it would still be a drop in the bucket.

France has been furious on many international occasions, but to no avail.

This is what the game between great powers is like, cruel and bloody.

If problems could be solved by getting angry, the British and French colonial systems would not have been dismembered by the United States and the Soviet Union.

It's not just France. Several other European countries that have colonies in Africa are also furious and keep jumping up and down.

But times have changed. This era is not the era of European powers before World War II!
As for the wars in Africa, they have led to a large number of African refugees, and these African refugees are heading to Europe.

Although the Sahara Desert blocks southern African countries from traveling to Europe, this problem does not exist for countries north of the Sahara Desert.

From Morocco to Spain, the Strait of Gibraltar is only 14 kilometers at its narrowest. From Algeria to Europe across the Mediterranean Sea, it is less than 200 kilometers.

Now Americans have human rights organizations and the like, but they are organizing ships in Morocco and Algeria to transport African refugees to Europe, and some American and European media are also there.

Can Europe really successfully complete integration?
I’m afraid it’s not that easy!
During the National Day, the Nobel Prizes were announced one by one.

Zhang Chaoyang won this year's Nobel Prize in Physics for his contributions to the mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking in subatomic physics.

The news quickly spread throughout the country, and Zhang Chaoyang quickly became famous and known to people all over the country. Zhang Chaoyang's deeds were reported by the media.

Winning the Nobel Prize at the age of 33 is not young, but it is enough to make people talk about it. However, during the National Day holiday, Liu Tao received his friends in the courtyard.

Chen Dongsheng is the head of the Chen family, a large Chinese family in Myanmar. Chen Dongsheng's father was a division commander in the National Army. After being defeated, he led the remnants into Myanmar and became a large family in the local area in just a few decades.

After the 80s, Chen Dongsheng, who had just taken over the family business at the age of 30, decisively chose to change his course and became one of the first people to stand in line. With the help of the east wind of development, the Chen family created new glory. Now the territory controlled by the Chen family is 4 square kilometers with Phakant Town as the core. It governs a population of more than 400 million and has 5 guards, all of which are well-equipped and well-trained troops, and are even equipped with tanks and armored vehicles.

Both the China-Myanmar Railway and the China-Myanmar Highway pass through the Chen family's territory.

The richest territory controlled by the Chen family is Hpakant, where the mining area with the most concentrated jadeite in Myanmar is located. The Chen family is also the largest jadeite supplier in Myanmar and even in the world, controlling 95% of the world's jadeite supply market.

The jadeite raw stones in Hpakant are so exaggerated that there is a place called 'Lema Gong' opposite old Hpakant, which means jade can be found if you dig one inch down.

Chen Dongsheng came to Beijing during the National Day to visit his eldest son, who is studying abroad at Peking University.

Chen Dongsheng now has seven sons and four daughters, and all of his children are studying in Hua Xia, even the youngest child is only in kindergarten.

There are currently nearly 800 million Chinese and overseas Chinese in Myanmar, but even among the Chinese and overseas Chinese families, the Chen family is the most powerful.

The situation in Myanmar is very complicated now. The government forces control only five provinces, namely Bago, Ayeyarwady, Karen State, Yangon and Taninthayi, with an area of ​​15.84 square kilometers, accounting for 23.41% of Myanmar’s total area, and a population of 1600 million, about 40% of Myanmar’s total population.

Rakhine State, Magway Region, Kyoyin State and Naypyidaw are in the war zone, and government forces control approximately 10% of the territory in the war zone.

More than a decade of civil war has caused heavy losses to Myanmar. The war has caused at least several million deaths, and many orders have been completely shattered and lost.

Now the Myanmar government is seeking help from Europe and the United States, hoping that Europe and the United States will increase their support for the Myanmar government and help Myanmar achieve unification.

This is causing other forces to unite and prepare for war.

The reason why Chen Dongsheng came here this time was that he hoped that a batch of weapons and ammunition would grow in the woods of Myanmar in the near future.

These forces have relied on trade over the years and have never lacked money.

For example, Chen Dongsheng's Chen family probably has a wealth of 50 to 60 billion yuan, and the wealth they control is estimated to have exceeded 100 billion yuan.

A few years ago, Chen Dongsheng bought a courtyard house in Beijing. The house has four entrances and covers an area of ​​2500 square meters. It is said that he spent over million yuan on interior decoration.

There are at least five overseas Chinese families that are not much worse off than the Chen family. If you include the weaker ones, the wealth of each family is no less than 10 billion RMB.

Without a fortune of 10 billion RMB, you cannot be called a family in Myanmar.

The family guard team has at least a few thousand people and at most fifty or sixty thousand people.

They all knew that the government forces had never given up the idea of ​​unification, and if they wanted true peace, they had to eliminate the government forces.

The contradiction between the two sides is simply irreconcilable.

Furthermore, each side has its own demands, and everyone wants their own interests. The best way is to eliminate the other side. The bigger the cake, the more the internal forces can naturally get.
