Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

"Dear chiefs and leaders, my next words may be a little harsh. If there is anything unpleasant to hear, please forgive me."

After saying this, Lin Kaifeng bowed deeply in front of everyone.

After standing up, Lin Kaifeng said in a resounding voice: "As the United States and the Soviet Union each became superpowers and the Cold War began, all types of wars that have occurred in the desert world over the past 30 years have been caused by hegemonic conflicts between powerful countries due to uneven distribution of interests."

"For their own selfish interests, the two superpowers turned the once prosperous and peaceful desert region into their arena."

"They ignored the fundamental interests of the desert countries and tried to drive away another competitor through war."

"Once they succeed, all the lifelines of the world will be firmly controlled by one of them, and the future development of our Dragon Country will become difficult."

It has long been an indisputable fact that human development cannot be separated from oil.

Oil is not only a fuel, but also an important raw material for a large number of light and heavy industrial products.

Why do a large number of oil-producing countries located in desert areas think of purchasing powerful weapons from Dragon Country?

The reason is simple: self-protection.

"My dear leaders, it is well known that the education level in desert areas is backward."

"Most ordinary people only have primary school education, but none of the heads of state are short-sighted."

"They have a clear and rational international perspective. For many years, the desert oil countries have been strengthening their relations with the United States. The big dog farmers even signed an agreement with the United States to use the US dollar as the settlement currency for oil."

"The United States has also promised many times that it will provide military protection to desert oil countries. In this case, why do other countries still want to buy strategic weapons from us? Because they don't trust the United States at all!"

Lin Kaifeng loudly stated a reality that surprised everyone.

The desert countries have never trusted the United States.

There never was, and there won't be now.

It is a well-known fact that the United States says one thing but does another.”

Spend more than 20 billion US dollars to purchase ballistic missiles and fuel-air bombs from Longguo.

Who are you guarding against?

America!

Without the protection of strategic weapons, the oil resources in the hands of various countries will sooner or later become the possession of the United States.

It is a well-known fact that one should not allow others to sleep soundly on one's bed.

Then, Lin Kaifeng expanded the topic.

The Dragon Country is developing rapidly and its dependence on oil is gradually increasing.

It is undeniable that Longguo is also a major oil-producing country.

Today's oil consumption and oil production are almost balanced.

But what about the future?

The United States is known as the country on wheels, and its oil consumption is increasing day by day.

Dragon Country has a population far exceeding that of the United States and the West.

In the future, the number of cars owned will definitely exceed that of the United States and the West.

that time.

Can the domestic oil supply meet domestic oil consumption?

Lin Kaifeng looked around at everyone and said, "I don't think anyone can give a definite answer to this question, right?"

There was a sound of whispering at the scene.

General Liu pointed at the table and signaled everyone to be quiet.

At the same time, he signaled Lin Kaifeng to continue.

Lin Kaifeng cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "For long-term planning in the future, we must lay out the desert area in advance, and this layout is not gradual, but must move forward in big strides."

"Whether it is the United States or the Soviet Union, there are a lot of allies and satellite countries behind them waving flags and cheering for them."

"It is no exaggeration to say that the will of the two countries can almost represent the will of the entire human race."

"They have been fighting overtly and covertly on various issues for their own interests."

"Military, technology, industry, cultural output, all important fields will become their battlefield."

"On other issues, the two superpowers have a high degree of tacit understanding."

"Restrict other countries from developing high-tech, strategic weapons, and ensure that our own superpower status is not threatened."

"Once the United States and the Soviet Union learn that the Desert Region intends to purchase a certain number of missiles from us, no matter how badly the two countries fight, they will definitely join hands again and destroy the deal at all costs."

"The more the enemy destroys, the more we must meet them head-on and infiltrate our influence into the desert area step by step."

Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Longguo's development focus was always on improving the economy.

Neglecting to enhance international influence can also drive economic growth.

It was not until 1991, when the United States launched Operation Desert Storm, that Dragon Country woke up from its dream.

We began to shift our focus from economic development to multiple parallel lines.

While continuing to develop the economy, we will strengthen military innovation and expand our external influence.

Unfortunately, it's somewhat too late.

In the same year, another superpower, the Soviet Union, collapsed, leaving the United States as the sole superpower.

The world situation has also changed from two superpowers competing for supremacy to one superpower and many strong countries.

The United States immediately turned its attention and, together with its allies, treated Long Country as an imaginary enemy.

We are on high alert because we are afraid that Longguo will expand its international influence.

Affects the fundamental interests of the West.

Lin Kaifeng said in an excited tone: "Speaking of this missile deal, the two superpowers may not be able to do anything to our country, but they have countless ways to ruin this deal."

"Either threats or inducements."

"The time left for the Desert World is very short. If we cannot complete the transaction in the shortest possible time, the news will inevitably be leaked."

"When the news of their intention to import missiles reaches the United States, the Soviet Union, or some European countries, it will turn the matter into a regional dispute."

"Longguo not only wants to sell, but also wants to take advantage of this favorable situation to expand its influence."

"On the one hand, we will develop the economy, on the other hand, we will carry out new military construction, and on the other hand, we will go out with all our strength to complete the basic layout in the desert area before the United States and the Soviet Union decide the outcome."

Many of the generals and department heads present at the meeting frowned.

Lin Kaifeng's words were extremely bold.

As the domestic economic construction had just begun to pick up, Lin Kaifeng immediately suggested that the country make all-out efforts to develop the desert world.

The slightest mistake could very well backfire.

This attracted joint targeting from the Soviet Union and the United States.

"Hahahaha, Comrade Lin Kaifeng's words reminded me of a word: nuclear blackmail."

Just then, hearty laughter was heard from the meeting hall.

General Liu sneered, "Comrades, many of you have come through those turbulent years. You should not have forgotten what nuclear blackmail and surgical operations are, right?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.

No one will forget the humiliation they have suffered, and they dare not forget it!

Every detail of those difficult years still vaguely emerges in everyone's mind.
