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

"Our country can meet your needs, but from my personal point of view, aircraft carriers are not suitable for you."

Pierce quickly adjusted his mood.

The Dragon Kingdom's navy is underdeveloped, and the selection of weapons and equipment needs to be gradual.

Only when everything is ready should Longguo consider whether to commission an aircraft carrier.

Even if the United States sells an aircraft carrier to Longguo, Longguo cannot use it.

Firstly, the officers and soldiers had no experience in operating an aircraft carrier.

Secondly, there are no relevant aircraft carrier technical talents.

Third, Longguo does not have carrier-based aircraft to match its aircraft carrier.

Fourth, Longguo simply cannot afford an aircraft carrier.

When the aircraft carrier falls into the hands of Longguo, it is at best a larger warship.

"Gentlemen, generals, I have no intention of mocking the Dragon Kingdom. What I said is purely based on facts."

"I think the combat power that can be exerted by forcibly controlling it is less than one tenth."

"Aircraft carriers have never been naval vessels prepared for small and medium-sized countries. Only big countries can operate them."

"I'm sorry, but your Dragon Nation is a full hundred years behind the ranks of great powers."

Pierce said seriously: "From the perspective of the next fifty years, the warships suitable for your Dragon Country are a large number of frigates and a small number of missile destroyers, accompanied by other types of ships. Only after a few decades of development, your country is considering whether to buy aircraft carriers."

"The most prudent solution is to abandon the unrealistic aircraft carrier concept and develop offshore forces."

As soon as the voice fell, Lin Kaifeng immediately asked: "What if our Dragon Country is determined to develop aircraft carrier forces?"

At this moment, Lin Kaifeng's words were quite aggressive.

Pierce sneered and said, "Mr. Lin is not a soldier. He has no idea about the role of aircraft carriers in modern warfare, let alone the preparations needed to commission an aircraft carrier."

"It's not that the United States is unwilling to sell aircraft carriers to Longguo. It's for your sake that it's not exporting them for the time being."

"I said, aircraft carriers are the patent of big countries. It will take at least several dozen or even hundreds of years for your Dragon Country to develop into a big country."

"Whether it's economic or military, Dragon Country is just starting out. Aircraft carriers are the pinnacle of modern industry and the hegemon of the ocean. They are not only expensive to build, but also expensive to maintain."

"The purchase of an aircraft carrier by Longguo now will definitely have an impact on the development of your navy and may even become a burden on the navy."

In the subsequent talks, Pierce used various methods to lure Longguo to sign and join NATO.

General Liu and the heads of relevant departments began to practice Tai Chi with Pierce.

He said a lot of the same things over and over again, but didn't make any promises to Pierce.

Time passed by minute by minute, and in a blink of an eye it was eight o'clock in the evening.

General Liu glanced at his watch and said, "Mr. Pierce, it's getting late. Let's end today's meeting here. Tomorrow, the relevant departments will hold an important meeting. I think the next meeting can be scheduled for the day after tomorrow."

"As for your itinerary tomorrow, we will arrange for Comrade Lin Kaifeng to accompany you throughout the trip to visit the natural scenery and beautiful mountains and rivers of Longguo."

Without waiting for Pierce to say anything else, General Liu and his group stood up and left the meeting room.

Looking at General Liu's back as he was about to leave, Pierce came up with another plan.

"Mr. Pierce, I will personally pick you up at the hotel with the foreign affairs department and military security at 8 a.m. tomorrow."

Lin Kaifeng reminded.

Pierce nodded and left with his men.

Anyone can tell that at least nine out of ten words Pierce says are nonsense.

Not exporting aircraft carriers to Longguo is not in the best interest of Longguo.

It is impossible for the United States to sell strategic-level weapons to Longguo.

The United States’ goal is to use and control Longguo.

Instead of arming the Dragon Kingdom, help the Dragon Kingdom become stronger.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Lin Kaifeng and his party appeared in the lobby of the State Guesthouse on time.

After finishing his breakfast, Pierce walked outside to meet Lin Kaifeng.

On the way to the scenic spot, Lin Kaifeng and Pierce rode in the same car.

"Some things are already destined, Mr. Pierce should not waste time."

Pierce turned to look at Lin Kaifeng and asked playfully, "Mr. Lin, do you think this cooperation will inevitably fail?"

"Whether it will end in failure depends on your attitude."

"But if there is no sincerity in the superficial talks, the subsequent talks will definitely not be pleasant."

Lin Kaifeng said with hint of something.

The Dragon Kingdom has thousands of miles of sea territory and needs a powerful fleet to protect it.

It is true that the United States assists Longguo in developing its navy.

But it will not give the Dragon Navy the opportunity to go out.

The United States is trying to transform the Dragon Navy into a thoroughly green-water navy.

The green-water navy can only sail at its doorstep and cannot go to the open ocean or the high seas.

"By the way, Mr. Pierce may have overlooked something."

"whats the matter?"

Pierce said subconsciously.

"Non-alignment is our Dragon Country's national policy."

Lin Kaifeng said slowly: "Not now, and we will not join NATO in the future. Once we do so, Longguo will lose the support of the people in the Third World."

"It will also give the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc an excuse to attack us."

"Will the United States do something that is not worth the cost?"

Lin Kaifeng told Pierce clearly.

Dragon Country’s military-industrial system does need to introduce new technologies, but it will never rely entirely on a certain country.

What the Soviet Union could not accomplish, the United States cannot accomplish either.

Whether it is the large arsenal plan in 1980 or the updated plan now, Longguo will not accept the additional conditions behind it.

As they were talking, the convoy arrived at the scenic spot.

"Mr. Pierce, I am your schoolmate."

A large number of accompanying personnel came out of the car one after another. A young man in the team wanted to rush towards Pierce, but was immediately stopped by Pierce's bodyguards.

the other side.

Lin Kaifeng looked at Pierce who looked thoughtful and said, "Mr. Pierce, please."

Pierce came to his senses and looked towards the scenic area ahead.

Not far away is a towering mountain.

The first activity today is mountain climbing.

Climbing to the top of the mountain, you can not only enjoy various beautiful scenery, but also see the whole picture of the capital city.

There are some things that General Liu and the heads of relevant departments cannot say openly, but Lin Kaifeng has no such concerns.

Induce Longguo's military-industrial system to fully turn to the United States and adopt Western military-industrial standards.

It is absolutely impossible.

"Mr. Lin is a businessman, not a government official. There are some things you won't understand."

Pierce smiled faintly: "As long as there is enough strategic interest, anything is possible."

After that, Pierce started climbing the mountain.

"You are the economic advisor of Dragon Country, not the decision-making advisor. I'm afraid you have never heard of what geostrategy and economic warfare are."

"The affairs between countries are much more complicated than doing business."

Hearing this, Lin Kaifeng smiled and said, "The economic war you mentioned refers to the trouble you are having with the US dollar, right?"

Instantly, Pierce stopped.

He looked at Lin Kaifeng with serious eyes.
