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

In addition to senior cabinet officials and military generals, a group of scientists from the space agency also attended the meeting.

The Star Wars program is the largest scientific research program invested by the United States.

One of the purposes was to lead the Soviet Union into a false competition direction.

Through high-tech competition, the internal economy of the Soviet Union was completely disintegrated.

The technology, which had no value at all, was strategically packaged and thrown to the Soviet Union.

Prompted the Soviet Union to invest funds and manpower in research.

When the Soviet Union had spent all its funds, it discovered that their research was completely useless.

"Gentlemen, generals, the situation in the financial market has gradually become beyond our control, but we are confident that we can make the currency depreciation rate become obedient."

At the beginning of the meeting, President Reagan cheered everyone on in his usual humorous tone.

All difficulties are temporary.

The United States will certainly be able to overcome difficulties and resolve the current urgent needs.

To solve the problem, we need help from everyone.

The military is concerned about cutting its own budget, and so is the space agency.

The rate of depreciation of the US dollar has exceeded the warning line. If this trend continues, the United States will definitely suffer serious consequences.

"Our military confrontation with the Soviet Union has reached a white-hot stage. Once there is a problem with military expenditure, the Soviet Union will surpass us. Once the Soviet Union's troops approach the European continent, I think no one can bear this responsibility."

The generals representing the Triangle and the military’s interests were the first to voice their opposition.

The United States can touch the money of any department, but it cannot touch the military's wallet.

There are hundreds of thousands of American soldiers stationed on the European front.

There are also large numbers of armed forces in other areas.

During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union engaged in military confrontations in many regions around the world, and if there was a problem with funding supply.

The United States is probably doomed.

Understanding the military's attitude of evading responsibility, President Reagan looked towards NASA.

Dr. Richard, the chief scientist of the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration, said with a serious expression: "Mr. President, the Star Wars program is directly related to our satellite navigation. Our space research is at a critical juncture. If there is a problem with the funding of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Soviet Union's space technology will surpass ours in a very short time."

"I heard that the Soviet Union is planning to develop its satellite navigation technology. Given the Soviet Union's scientific research capabilities, once they focus on this field, our advantages will be almost gone."

The space agency and the military seemed to have discussed it and raised all kinds of issues.

As early as ten years ago, the military-industrial group, the Triangle Building, the aerospace department, and the front-line troops gradually formed an alliance.

The military-industrial complex that would become famous in later generations had already begun to take shape.

The interests of the several parties are firmly tied together, so that they prosper together and suffer together.

President Reagan never expected this.

The United States is facing difficult problems, and the military and the space agency, which have received large amounts of funding from Congress for years, are becoming more indifferent than the other.

"Mr. T&T, if we want to solve the crisis, in addition to squeezing out funds to save the market, I think we should also start from the outside."

A cabinet aide spoke up to help President Reagan.

The attitude of the military and aerospace departments is very clear: they can ask for other things, but they won’t give you a penny for money.

Not only can they not squeeze out a penny, but their funding cannot be cut at all.

If anyone dares to cut their funding, they might fight to the death with President Reagan.

The best approach is to reach out to the desert world.

The desert region has ample funds, and the dozen or so oil-producing countries are a motley crowd.

As long as the United States shows some threats, these countries will definitely surrender.

The emirate controls huge oil reserves.

Waiting for oil means controlling money.

Even if the US dollar collapses completely, as long as the United States holds oil, it can still rest assured.

In addition, we should pay more attention to Dragon Country.

Longguo has completed its economic restructuring, and the huge market is gradually getting back on track.

As Longguo gradually gained more funds, it began to accelerate the construction of its own military.

At this time, the United States provided some much-needed weapons to Longguo to complete its secret infiltration into their military industry.

The help to the United States can be said to be unprecedentedly huge.

Military generals spoke out in agreement.

Things are different now than in the past, and all kinds of situations are undergoing new changes.

Many years ago, Longguo rejected the large arsenal plan proposed by the United States.

If the Great Arsenal Plan is brought up again at this moment, Longguo may not necessarily reject it again.

As long as Longguo agrees, the United States will have the opportunity to completely transform the opponent's military-industrial system style from leaning towards the Eastern camp to aligning with the Western military-industrial system.

Sell ​​a batch of weapons to Longguo at a low price and obtain the right to upgrade these weapons.

Take control of the military manufacturing industry step by step.

Commander Reagan frowned and said, "Gentlemen, generals, your method is perfect, but what if the Dragon Kingdom's attitude remains as tough as before?"

"In 1980, we proposed the Great Arsenal Plan, proactively helping Longguo improve their armed forces, connecting Longguo's military-industrial system with ours, and jointly attacking the Soviet Union."

"In order to get Longguo to accept our plan, we purchased various types of weapons from Longguo to support the guerrillas against the Soviet Union, but in the end the large arsenal plan was rejected by Longguo."

The staff member replied: "The reason Longguo refused was because they had just started economic reform and opened their doors to the world, and there were various ideas within the country. Now, Longguo has clearly seen that there are many shortcomings in the development of their air force and navy."

"Longguo lacks heavy fighters, strategic bombers, tankers, and early warning aircraft, all of which we can provide."

"The core of the Great Arsenal Plan is to control the military development of Longguo and make their military industry under our control. On the other hand, we want to control the construction of Longguo's air force."

"If the plan succeeds, our arms and our production lines will be sold to Longguo continuously. Longguo has a huge demand for both civilian goods and advanced weapons."

"The Dragon Nation's top brass weren't clear-headed at the time, and we were definitely not surprised."

"When we revise the Great Arsenal Plan and propose a new cooperation condition to Longguo, selling them airborne early warning aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft, tanker aircraft, large transport aircraft at preferential prices, and give them several ground-based air defense systems, will Longguo's military industrial system continue to maintain the Soviet Union style? This is absolutely not the case!"

Everyone began to express their opinions.

The United States has laid the foundation for becoming a superpower by exporting weapons.

From the time the United States completed its industrialization to today, it has been selling arms supplies abroad every month every year.

Once the door to the Dragon Country's military industry market is opened, the United States' economic problems can be fundamentally solved.

The Dragon Kingdom has an army of millions.

The demand for military industry is so great that just thinking about it can make these members of the military-industrial complex wake up laughing.
