1786 Selling battleships to China, America regrets it
"We must speed up the research of all projects and don't consider saving money anymore. At least, we need to make breakthroughs in all our current projects before the new millennium. Show the world our weapons and equipment strength!" In the Ninth Academy, after a secret meeting of the Management Committee, the Management Committee, which was originally stingy, suddenly increased its investment in all projects of the Ninth Academy.
It's like they're going to stop going after they finish these projects.
Or, it's like the last madness.
Liu Yijiu, the top manager of the Ninth Courtyard, had no idea about the situation, because he was fishing for sharks on Yongxing Island.
"We don't have much time to help you, and once you can't do this for a long time, the more pressure they will be. With the possibility of longevity, no one can guarantee that they can be selfless." This is the result of discussion after Long Yaohua and others.
The truth is too cruel and it is impossible to announce it.
What's more, if it is announced, no one will believe that once someone gets in mind, there will be problems in the Ninth Court, and even Liu Yijiu may die...
"Of course, this is also a good thing. When you hope to get this potion from you, everyone will support the Ninth Hospital. Before they completely explode and they completely lose their patience, they can get more support."
Although some hope was shattered, Long Yaohua and others also knew what the Ninth Academy meant for the national defense of the entire country.
Once there is a problem with the Ninth Hospital, all projects related to the Ninth Hospital will be affected.
The most sensitive internationally, especially the United States, is to feel it almost immediately when it comes to the science and technology exhibitions that have been quietly added due to some unexpected reasons in China.
In addition, China's second-hand battleship purchased from their country was transformed and conducted sea trials, which made the US government even more worried.
China's rise has made them feel extremely pressured, especially in recent years, domestic military expenditures have continued to increase, but the United States' military strength has not increased much, and even the sea has weakened!
The reason for all this is because they still have not struggled out of the quagmire of the Iraq War. The relationship with the Middle East oil-producing countries is sometimes good and sometimes bad, and international oil prices have changed significantly almost every day. If US President Kerlington had not announced the breaking of the previous ban by the US government, resumed the exploitation of shale oil, and increased the efforts to exploit oil, their economy would have become even more difficult.
There is no more Japan to be slaughtered by them.
And now, when the British were thrown into the desk of Klington, he almost roared to all the female relatives of all the Reagan government officials!
"Look at it, this is the information given to us by the British. Before that, none of you think that the Chinese have purchased our second-hand battleships and cannot do anything. Can anyone tell me that in the face of such a thing, how many aircraft carriers are needed to defeat them?" The information provided by the British was thrown in front of the new director, Raun Phillips.
Even Connor Donald, an investment in the National Security Strategy Agency, looked embarrassed.
They have no information about China's huge missile battleship transformed by their second-hand battleships.
"Who can tell me how we should deal with it now to ensure our interests in Asia? What does it mean for the Chinese to own such warships?" The president's concerns are not unreasonable.
The Chinese's military strength has grown too fast.
Even, it was almost beyond their imagination.
"In your report, the Chinese pose no threat to our Asia-Pacific strategy, and even their warships do not have ocean-going capabilities. Will you tell me now that the Chinese only have two warships like this, and they cannot create new ones?"
The president kept asking questions, making it impossible for all staff to answer.
Especially the CIA, they consume a huge amount of funds every year, but there is no news at all.
"Once our most powerful enemy, the Red Soviet Union, fell, and we have not even recovered, and the Red China has begun to rise again..." Klington felt that he was a president who deserved to be particularly cowardly.
When he came to power, the Soviet Union fell.
However, it did not make him happy because the old bastard Bush fought the Iraq War for the profits of the capitalists behind him, and even used nuclear weapons.
When he came to power, his desire to withdraw troops from Iraq was also stopped by Congress.
Capitalists are only eyeing Iraq's crude oil and the huge profits of subsequent reconstruction. Who cares about the US government's treasury has long been empty. Every American bears tens of thousands of dollars in debt for their government?
Now that China has such a huge warship, will their navy be willing to stay near the sea and be completely blocked by the second island chain built by the United States?
The US government needs to increase its layout in the Asia-Pacific region, aircraft carriers, and warships! Where does the Kerlington government do this money?
"His Excellency President, I think we should invite the retired General Mister back. He is an authority in China. He has been opposing since the initial Reagan administration sold battleships to the Chinese. Moreover, before, he has been reminding the government to pay attention to the hidden technological strength of China... He even proposed a technological blockade against China, but our country and our allies did not strictly implement it..." Secretary of State Madeline Albright said to the president.
The Chinese's economic strength has grown, and as Secretary of State, he is very clear.
The Chinese can invest more in the military field. Although their current equipment is still very backward, as long as they continue to invest, they can quickly catch up.
Their economic growth rate is incomparable to any country in the world.
Mister has always seen China very clearly, so he has always reminded the government not to relax its vigilance against China.
Now the Chinese have turned the Iowa-class battleship bought from the United States into a battleship equipped with unknown amounts of missiles.
Americans know more than anyone else how much space this thing has.
Things like Kirov can carry at least 500 missiles of various types, and they will not be at a disadvantage even if they fight a single battle with a US aircraft carrier fleet.
If the Americans want to be strong, they will need at least two aircraft carrier fleets.
The Soviet Union has been dragged down. Now, because of Ye Liqin's shock therapy in the polar bear, those warships can only be parked in the military port. Before this has been a few years of comfort, the Chinese have emerged again.
Mister was invited to the White House very politely by the president.
Seeing the dense missile launcher on the decks, the high-level dual-purpose naval guns densely spread on both sides of the ship and the missile launcher modules on both sides of the turret, he knew what was going on with this warship.
No complaints or saying anything, just sighed, "I didn't expect that the Chinese would transform this battleship..."
"Mr. Mister, we need your advice, how should the government respond?" Klington asked the old man awkwardly.
He even personally retired the old man.
He thinks that this old man looks too high at China's technical strength.
If the old man scolds him as soon as he comes, he will feel better.
"Under the current circumstances, the Chinese have obviously completed the transformation, and they have even mastered the technology of re-manufacturing such battleships... And the dock scale covered by the shipyard in the Bohai Bay can be at least built at the same time, or even an aircraft carrier..." Mister sighed, "It is obviously meaningless to continue blocking China. Of course, if there are detailed technical information, you can make a better judgment."
"Aircraft carrier? This is impossible! If China has the ability to build aircraft carriers, with their current economic strength, it must have started to build them!" Clinton could not believe it at all.
Even if the Chinese get experience in building large warships from Iowa-class battleships, it will be difficult for them to build aircraft carriers.
Even if the deck of the aircraft carrier is made of steel, this is something that the Chinese cannot solve.
"Nipdosan towed back an aircraft carrier from Ukraine. For so many years, he has been ambitiously preparing to complete the construction of this aircraft carrier! And they are a group of warlord forces controlled by educated youth and retired soldiers from China, not a country..." Mister sighed again. "If that aircraft carrier was brought back by the Chinese through Nippdosan, then..."
The consequences are unimaginable.
Everyone knows what this means.
The Chinese rely on the Soviet technology and had been studying aircraft carriers for so many years, it would have been almost the same. With the experience of battleships, they could even quickly get the aircraft carrier outfitted.
"Nipdosan! Is the Chinese layout so huge?" Clinton didn't know what he should say.
"Don't underestimate the Chinese. There were many powerful civilizations in the early human civilizations, but other civilizations have been destroyed. China, no matter who occupied or destroyed, can be rebuilt quickly. Even India, their neighbors, cannot be compared with them!" Mister never underestimated China because he has a profound study of China.
Especially after the United States purchased cloud bomb technology and new gun steel technology from China, it made him even more clear that China's hidden technological strength is far beyond what they showed.
Keeping one's strength and keeping one's low profile is a common method used by the Chinese.
