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

The uncontrolled and continued depreciation of the US dollar made Lin Kaifeng and Chief Mustafa a fortune.

The reason why he dared to attack the US dollar was that Lin Kaifeng bet that the United States would not be able to come up with enough funds to rescue the market in a short period of time.

It’s not that the United States has no money to save the market, but that the relationships between various departments are complicated.

No matter which department the circular office cuts funding from, there will be strong opposition from that department.

With the ability of foresight, Lin Kaifeng knows too well the nature of the military-industrial complex.

To be precise, the birth of the military-industrial complex can be traced back to the end of World War II.

After nearly three decades of development, the military-industrial complex has become a force that cannot be ignored in the United States.

By the 21st century, the military-industrial complex had become a cancer that the United States could not get rid of.

Once they lack funds, they immediately fabricate the sensational Dragon Country threat theory.

The United States treats the desert world as an ATM, and the military-industrial complex treats Congress as a big enemy.

The price of an air conditioner is hundreds of thousands.

Ordinary cigarette ash can be marked up for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of US dollars.

It is called military equipment.

You can imagine the degree of greed.

At the same time, NASA has a talent for spending money that is no less than that of the Triangle Building.

By the late 1980s, the United States had already secured victory in the competition between the two powers. In order to completely control space, the United States proposed a plan that shocked the world.

Hammer of God.

It aims to deploy space-based weapons in space and treat space as the United States' own territory.

Thanks to the unlimited checks it received from Congress, NASA treated its space-based weapons programs as the goose that laid the golden eggs.

The plan is revised every year, resulting in continuous additional funding.

The space-based weapons program, which was launched in the late 1980s, made no progress until Lin Kaifeng's death.

Say something.

The space-based weapons project is a means for the space agency to defraud funds, but it has also really scared many countries.

The space agency has repeatedly stated that once space-based weapons launch an attack, the power will be more terrifying than an atomic bomb explosion.

In his first year as head of the aerospace department, Lin Kaifeng organized the team to conduct analysis and discussion.

Conduct simulation experiments on the possible damage caused by US space-based weapons.

The result is ridiculous.

Assuming that space-based weapons are deployed and attack the earth from space, the destructive power will only be within a few meters.

At most, a hole about four or five meters in diameter would be created on the ground.

It is a far cry from the nuclear explosion power claimed by the United States.

"General Lin, your superiors have ordered you to return to the capital immediately to attend an important meeting."

A security guard in a suit came into the room.

Ever since Lin Kaifeng went to the Far East to negotiate with General Constantine for the purchase of Su-27 fighter jets, four guards have been following him, changing from temporary protection to full-time guards.

The telegram came from General Liu, asking Lin Kaifeng to immediately put down his current affairs and return to the capital.

"I understand. Go and book a flight for me now."

After the guard left, Lin Kaifeng looked puzzled.

The last time he met General Liu, Lin Kaifeng told him that he would be very busy in the next two or three months.

Knowing that Lin Kaifeng had no time to deal with other matters, why did General Liu ask him to return to the capital at this time?

He also specifically asked Lin Kaifeng to attend important meetings.

Did something unexpected happen?

If you think about it carefully, it is not impossible.

The five-axis machine tool smuggling incident was exposed two years in advance, which means that the butterfly effect is getting stronger and stronger.

Whenever Lin Kaifeng does something earth-shaking, he will change the course of history to a certain extent.

After thinking for a while, Lin Kaifeng went to the next room and said goodbye to Chief Mustafa apologetically.

This time, Lin Kaifeng and Chief Mustafa went to the island country with only one purpose.

Take the opportunity to buy at the bottom.

Acquire a large number of shares in island companies.

Unexpectedly, plans are not as fast as changes.

Faced with the telegram sent personally by General Liu, even if Lin Kaifeng had something important to do, he would rush back to attend the meeting immediately.

The next day, Lin Kaifeng led four guards and returned to Beijing on a civil aviation passenger plane.

Once Lin Kaifeng returns to the capital, go to the Armed Forces Headquarters Building immediately.

"Commander, please follow me."

Lin Kaifeng often went in and out of the headquarters of the three armed forces, and almost all the officers on duty knew him.

Upon learning that Lin Kaifeng wanted to meet General Liu, an officer on duty took Lin Kaifeng to a conference room on the third floor.

"It is true that the Air Force has been in a slump for more than a decade, but the past is the past and the present is the present. How can we compare the past and the present?"

"Don't forget that the Air Force has just received the Su-27 fighter jet and is about to obtain its production line and related technologies.

Everything is ready, and the air force's combat effectiveness will rise like a rocket."

"The Air Force is important, but is the Navy unimportant? Dragon Country has airspace to protect, and the vast seas need to be guarded by the Navy. Facts have proved that the numerous invasions Dragon Country has suffered were all caused by the enemy coming from the sea. If we want the country to revive again, we must have a strong navy."

"Gentlemen, from what you say, the task of disarmament this time will be undertaken entirely by the Army?"

There was a commotion in the conference room.

In addition to dozens of generals, there were also leaders from several industrial ministries.

The officer on duty pushed open the door of the conference room with Lin Kaifeng, and countless eyes shifted to the door.

In an instant, cold sweat broke out on Lin Kaifeng's head.

A large number of generals representing the navy, army, air force, and missile forces were staring at him with glowing eyes.

Lin Kaifeng slowly turned his head and said in a low voice: "What's going on?"

The officer on duty smiled bitterly and walked out of the meeting room without saying a word.

Not a single word of confidential information can be said.

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, you came back at the right time. You have been to the Soviet Union's Far East Army Group and witnessed the Soviet Union's military development in recent years. Isn't their air force particularly strong?"

An air force general took two steps at a time and grabbed Lin Kaifeng's hand without saying a word.

Lin Kaifeng was dragged to where the air force generals were sitting.

Lin Kaifeng subconsciously said: "The development of the Soviet Union's air force is indeed something that cannot be underestimated. In addition to the latest Su-27 fighters and early warning aircraft, the Soviet Union is also developing a new strategic bomber. Compared with the Tu-95 bomber, this bomber has a longer range, a larger bomb load, and is more difficult to detect."

After the words were spoken, the Air Force nodded in unison.

The Air Force general who pulled Lin Kaifeng to sit down said, "Comrades, time is running out. The Soviet Union is getting stronger and stronger, and our Air Force is standing still. Now we have finally waited for the opportunity to develop, and we cannot lay off a single soldier."

"Every Airman has his use."

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, is the Soviet Union's navy more powerful?"

The middle-aged general in army uniform asked.

“It’s also very powerful.”

Lin Kaifeng tells the truth.

Even though Lin Kaifeng only went to the Far East Army Group and did not go to the Soviet fleet base in the Far East, he still heard some information about the Soviet Navy.

The Soviet Union's vigorous development of attack nuclear submarines was directly related to the acquisition of five-axis linkage CNC machine tools.
