The military bases in the Middle East and Western Europe in Australia are the bottom line of our country. Ye Chen already knew about them, so naturally there is no need to ask. However, Ye Chen was very curious about the other two military bases, where are they?

Obviously, what our country wants is very important, and the United States must be very distressed.

"One is in the Middle East and the other is in Eastern Europe," Tang Lao said.

"Middle East? Eastern Europe? Why do you want it?" Ye Chen asked puzzled.

In the bottom line, there is a military base in the Middle East, and there is another base in the Middle East. The impact on the country should not be too great. As for Eastern Europe, Ye Chen was even more puzzled.

Europe can be simply divided into Western Europe and Eastern Europe. Western Europe is the back garden of the United States, that is, a part of the developed countries in the West, and the Renaissance is mainly in Western Europe.

Eastern Europe, that's the poor part of Europe, where most of the poor countries in Europe are.

"Let me explain to you in detail." Mr. Tang patiently explained to Ye Chen, saying: "The strategic value of the Middle East is too great, both in terms of geographical location and economic value. It is very important here. Here, both The confluence of three continents is also the main producing area of ​​oil. It is also the place where the competition among major powers is the most intense, hence the nickname of 'powder barrel'. This is the reason why this place has always been a hotspot in the world."

Admiral Liu explained the importance of the Middle East to Ye Chen, and Ye Chen knew this very well.

"However, the Middle East is very large. The two military bases we want are one in the north and the other in the south. In this way, one south and one north can cover the entire Middle East." Elder Tang continued to explain, "In this way The advantage of doing this is that it can intervene in Middle East affairs on a wider scale, and at the same time, it can better support each other."

"It makes sense." Ye Chen agreed with this statement.

The Middle East we are talking about is a very general term. If it is subdivided, the Middle East is very particular. If there is only one military base in the Middle East, our country's ability to intervene in Middle East affairs will be limited. With one more military base, our country's presence in the Middle East will be much larger, and our country's intervention in Middle East affairs will be much larger and its influence will be greater.

"Xiaoye, you also know that our country is adjusting its overseas strategy. To restart the Silk Road, we need to maintain a military base in the north of the Middle East." Tang Lao said again: "The traditional Silk Road passes through the strait, that is, In the north-east of the Middle East, maintaining a military presence here means a lot."

Ye Chen was not very clear, and said, "Old Tang, can you elaborate more?"

"Well, there are not many people who really know about this." Elder Tang nodded and said, "Since Zhang Jian, a famous minister of the Han Dynasty, went to the Western Regions to open the Silk Road, the Silk Road has been The only upper channel connecting our country and Western Europe is a golden channel. Later, it was blocked by the Ottoman Empire, and Western European countries sailed in order to obtain silk, tea, porcelain and spices from our country. The age of sailing. Suppose, at that time, our country had a military base in the north-east of the Middle East, and we could use the military to intervene to force the Ottoman Empire not to block the Silk Road, then the history of the world would be rewritten.”

The Age of Discovery had a great influence on Europe and the history of the world.

It was through the era of great voyages that Europe plundered and massacred the world, plundered countless wealth, and completed primitive accumulation. Only then did the era of capitalism develop.

Would Europe have risen without the Age of Discovery?

Certainly not.

It was the Ottoman Empire that prompted European countries to carry out great voyages, blocking the traditional six-sea trade route, that is, the Silk Road.

"Of course, our country didn't realize this at the time, and we didn't have the strength to stop it." Tang Lao said solemnly, "However, making such a historic mistake once is enough to make people hurt." , We must never let history repeat itself. Now that our country is restarting the Silk Road, we must maintain sufficient deterrent power."

Ye Chen nodded heavily, agreeing with this statement.

The modern decline of our country,

With a history of more than a hundred years of humiliation, who originated it?

Many people attribute it to the incompetence of the Qing Dynasty. This is also the reason, the Qing Dynasty is indeed incompetent. However, this is not the source, the source is in the age of sailing, that is, Ottoman blocked the Silk Road.

If we want to restart the Silk Road now, we must maintain a strong military presence on the Silk Road, otherwise, people will block it if they want to.

Without the deterrence of power, there is no guarantee!

"Mr. Tang, according to what you said, we also need a military base in Eastern Europe, and it has something to do with the Silk Road, right?" Ye Chen understood, and said, "After the Silk Road passes through the Strait, it will pass through Eastern Europe and enter Western Europe."

"Xiaoye, you are not bad! You can draw inferences from one instance to another, and you are indeed an outstanding scientist in our country!" Elder Tang appreciated it very much, and said with a smile: "It is precisely because of this consideration that our country has acquired a military base in Eastern Europe."

Ye Chen's reaction was really quick. Elder Tang only mentioned the importance of the military bases in the north-east of the Middle East, and he could think of the purpose of the military bases in Eastern Europe.

"Old Tang, according to what you said, we are still short of a military base, and there are also military bases in Central Asia." Ye Chen thought of a very important question.

"Hehe." Elder Tang let out a hearty laugh, gave Ye Chen a thumbs up, and said, "Xiaoye, you are really good, you are really good, you understand by analogy."

The Silk Road is very important. If our country wants to restart the Silk Road, it must pass through Central Asia. If there is no military base, it will be troublesome.

"Don't dare to take it." Ye Chen said humbly.

"However, Xiaoye, your worries are unnecessary." Old Tang changed the topic.

"How do you say that?" Ye Chen was taken aback. One moment, Elder Tang was still praising him, but the next moment he didn't agree with his statement. Ye Li really couldn't figure it out.

"The first reason is that we are not afraid of the threat from the Central Asian countries." Elder Tang explained, "Xiaoye, do you know? Our ancestors competed with the Arab Empire for Central Asia as early as the Tang Dynasty. Gao Xianzhi, the famous general of the dynasty, even led the Tang army to the territory of the Arab Empire. Although the Tang Dynasty failed in the end, the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire fought for Central Asia for decades, not only did not lose the wind, but also gained the upper hand."

The Arab Empire was going eastward, and the Tang Dynasty was going westward. At that time, the two most powerful empires in the world met in Central Asia and fought for decades. The Tang Dynasty dealt a heavy blow to the Arab Empire.

With the decline of the Tang Dynasty, this struggle came to an end.

Ye Chen doesn't know much about history, and he was surprised that he didn't know this period of history. However, Ye Chen didn't doubt Elder Tang's words. What a person like Elder Tang said must be true.

"The Tang Dynasty can compete for Central Asia, let alone us now." Ye Chen was very excited.

"That's right." Elder Tang said again: "The second reason is that the Central Asian countries are looking forward to our country restarting the Silk Road, because the Central Asian countries have always been the beneficiaries of the Silk Road. Xiaoye, you know the oil and water of the Silk Road How rich is it?"

"This... I really don't know." Although there is a history of the Silk Road in elementary school history textbooks, Ye Chen really doesn't know how rich the Silk Road is.

There are many people who are unclear like Ye Chen.

"Xiaoye, do you know Turkic?" Elder Tang asked suddenly.

"Turk? Mr. Tang, why are you asking this?" Ye Chen was very surprised. Mr. Tang was explaining the current international strategy to him, why did he suddenly mention the nomads in history, and said: "Turk was a powerful force in the north during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The nomadic peoples once posed a huge threat to the Sui and Tang dynasties, and were later wiped out by Tang Taizong."

"Not exactly. To be precise, it was the Eastern Turks that Tang Taizong destroyed. With the Eastern Turks, of course there will be the Western Turks. The Western Turks were destroyed by Tang Gaozong Li Zhi." Tang Lao continued to analyze, saying: "As for the Turks How it split has nothing to do with what I want to explain to you, so I won’t talk about it. Let me tell you how the Turks developed, and you will know how rich the Silk Road is. The Turks were originally Central Asia A nomadic tribe, this tribe is very shrewd. Seeing the rich oil and water on the Silk Road, they practiced buying and selling, buying our country's silk, tea, porcelain, and Ah San's spices at low prices, and selling them to the West at high prices. Then use In the same way, we bought goods from the West and sold them to our country and Asan, earning the price difference and accumulating huge wealth. Then, the Turks used the money to recruit soldiers and grow rapidly. After becoming stronger, the Turks began to move eastward. They fought eastward until they reached the coast of the East China Sea. When the Turks were at their strongest, they reached the East China Sea in the east and Central Asia in the west, spanning thousands of miles.”

Ye Chen was very shocked, and said: "Silk Road can make the Turkic empire rise, and you can imagine how rich it is. Therefore, the Central Asian countries are looking forward to our country's restart of the Silk Road, and want to benefit from it." Get a share of the pie. Moreover, the countries in Central Asia are relatively small, so there is nothing to be afraid of.”

"Correct solution!" Tang Lao tapped his hands lightly, appreciating it very much.

The Turks are a powerful nomadic nation that is well-known in our history textbooks. It was through the Silk Road that they were able to rise. You can imagine how rich the Silk Road is.

The current Central Asian countries are far from being so powerful, they are all small, and they don't have the strength to make trouble even if they want to. Moreover, they are still looking forward to getting a share of the benefits, only for approval and maintenance, so don't worry.

"Mr. Tang, although the negotiation has been concluded now. But in the next handover, the bad intentions of the United States will definitely make it bad, want to delay, and even be foolish. What are you going to do?" Ye Chen twisted tightly. Frowning, thinking.

This is the first time in the history of the United States to trade military bases. Although the United States had this idea during the Cuban Missile Crisis, it did not implement it after all. Now that it is really implemented, the United States will definitely not be reconciled, it will make it bad, it will delay, or even refuse.

"Okay! I can see it clearly!" Elder Tang gave a thumbs up, appreciative, and said, "Naturally, we have to find a way to prevent the American conspiracy from succeeding. However, if you can give us some help, that would be even better. "

"Mr. Tang, is that why you called me today?" Ye Chen was stunned.

"There is a reason for this, and there is also a reason for telling you the good news." Elder Tang did not deny it.

"I know what to do. I'll take out a few production lines to produce models for export, and let them grab and fight." Ye Chen smirked.

"Hey." Elder Tang also responded with a malicious laugh.

Photonic chips are very important, everyone wants to get more, and Ye Chen won't take out a lot, so there is a dispute. By then, will the United States dare to procrastinate?

"By the way, Mr. Tang, we have taken back the Diaoyu Islands. What's the news from the Japanese side?" Ye Chen thought of Diaoyu Islands and asked curiously.
