Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 1122: The possibility of collapse

The military leaders didn't care about these things at all. When they saw Chen Changan, they were almost unable to hold back.

"Director Chen, please explain why you did this without our consent.

You flatly rejected General Kamel's offer to buy missiles."

“My dear leaders, I have made the reasons very clear before. Hussein is a very ambitious person.

The whole world knows what he is going to do. Once he is attacked by many countries, he will be powerless to resist even if he has these missiles in his hands.

My advice is, don't do any business with them from now on.

Let’s not talk about how much effect these missiles can have if a war really breaks out.

Once we fail to intercept or are interfered with by electronic warfare, the weapons we produce will immediately lose their reputation, and it will be much more difficult to conduct arms trade in the future.

Even if our weapons are indeed powerful and have caused heavy losses to the enemy.

But once the US military wins, it will launch a propaganda war against us with the momentum of a great victory, saying that we sold such weapons to invaders like Hussein.

This is also detrimental to our country. It is definitely not wise to affect our international image for such a small amount of money."

Hussein was indeed not a man who would keep quiet. It was only a matter of time before he got beaten for being so reckless.

That desolate place in the Middle East is different from Vietnam. It is difficult to fight a guerrilla war there. If it weren't for the discovery of oil, no one would pay attention to it.

Although everyone in the conference room agreed with what Chen Changan said, they were not happy at all when they saw Chen Changan's confident look.

"Then you can't even skip the reporting process, right? Your decision this time was right, but can you guarantee that every decision you make will be right?

This kind of thinking is unacceptable, otherwise one day your carelessness will lead to immeasurable consequences."

Although Chen Changan felt that he had the experience of later generations and would not make mistakes at least in the general direction, he could not say this.

“You’re right, but sometimes we can’t look at problems the same way we did before.

Many veteran comrades, due to past experiences, always have their own subjective views when looking at problems, and it is difficult for them to change their thinking.

Chen Changan's words clearly offended many veteran comrades, and veteran comrades were indeed the majority in the meeting room at that moment."

"Since Director Chen is so confident, please analyze the current world situation for us."

The leader who was speaking had a face full of anger, and his voice even trembled, obviously trying to suppress his anger.

If Chen Changan said something insightful about not eating, I'm afraid this old comrade would explode.

"Do all the leaders present here think so? Then let me say a few words. It may not be completely correct, but it's not far off the mark."

Chen Changan knew very well that these old leaders actually had no ill will towards him.

Even though they are all angry with me now, if I really encounter difficulties, these old leaders will be willing to help me.

They are completely different from Director Zou at the time. Many of them have long exceeded the retirement age, and they do not form cliques. They just hope that the country will become better and better.

Young leading cadres should take over as soon as possible so that they can enjoy their retirement.

"Everyone can see what's happening in the Middle East, and I'm too lazy to say anything more. We'll just have to wait and see if the United Nations forces, led by the US military, can achieve the results I mentioned earlier.

This time let’s talk about our neighbor, the super empire in the north.

On the surface, our neighbor is still one of the two most powerful countries in the world.

Strong military strength, powerful military-industrial capabilities, and a super large land area.

It looks invincible, like a super giant, dominating the north.

But in my opinion, the military force is indeed very powerful and intimidating, but it seems a bit weak inside.

I know that in the hearts of many old comrades, they still have feelings for the northern superpower and it is still their big brother.

What I want to say is that our northern neighbor is indeed facing disintegration."

"Chen Changan, I know you are very talkative, but please don't make fun of our northern neighbors, okay?

We are well aware that you eloquent people always like to come up with very intimidating gimmicks and exaggerate.

Since you know how we old guys feel about our northern neighbors, please don't make such jokes."

"Do you think I'm kidding you? Well, I'm going to tell you my opinion today.

First of all, the so-called Republic Union of our northern neighbor has problems in itself.

Its core foundation is "voluntary association", and there are many explanations for this.

Regardless of whether I volunteered at the beginning, now that I don’t volunteer, can I quit if I want to?

You have to know that the entire alliance is not a monolithic entity. They have different languages, beliefs, nationalities, and economic conditions.

Take Lithuania for example. It had to join the alliance out of necessity and only joined in order to seek asylum.

This kind of "voluntary" behavior is not very sincere. They not only have their own unique history and culture, but also national identity.

They originally disagreed with the entire alliance, and their own economy was very good.

Not only did the economy not progress after joining the alliance, but due to the unified arrangements, the residents' lives became even worse than before.

Now that there are no external threats, do you think they will choose to leave the alliance in order to live a better life for themselves?"

Chen Changan's words silenced the meeting room.

No one has ever thought about this question: how could anyone choose to leave such a powerful alliance?

But what Chen Changan said is not without reason. I was originally very rich, but after joining you, I became even poorer. The locals are indeed somewhat unwilling to accept this.

If the initial pressure is gone, then it is reasonable to choose to leave. After all, joining was "voluntary" in the first place. Since it is "voluntary", you have no legal right to stop people from leaving.

"A powerful empire often begins with internal divisions.

Assuming that my guess just now is correct and one person chooses to leave, a domino effect will immediately form.

The countries that were so "voluntary" in the first place will immediately follow suit and choose to leave.

In the end, even if you really joined voluntarily, you will have no choice but to leave."
