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

The United States and the Soviet Union fought for thirty-five years, and the navy, army, air force, missile forces, and various types of spacecraft were all their areas of competition.

Once the United States discovers that the Soviet Union has surpassed it in some aspects, it will definitely surpass it in the shortest possible time.

This is true in the military field and also in the aerospace field.

The year after the Soviet Union sent their astronauts into space, the United States also sent its own astronauts into space.

If the Soviet Union develops a main battle tank with better performance, the United States will inevitably surpass it within two to three years.

The arms race lasted throughout the Cold War, and not only made all countries in the world become more militaristic.

It has also brought the level of human military equipment to a new level.

Unlike the Soviet Union, which never tired of this, the United States gradually became tired of this arms race.

Preparing to develop a brand new fighter for the Air Force.

A fifth-generation fighter that is at least ten years ahead of the world's mainstream models.

Speaking of this, Lin Kaifeng deliberately mentioned a special force in the United States.

A military-industrial complex that relies on the military industry to suck blood.

The U.S. military-industrial complex first appeared around the same time as the Cold War.

All of them appeared in the fifties.

At the beginning, the military-industrial complex was merely a mutual collaboration between the military and arms companies.

Today, the U.S. military-industrial complex has become a behemoth.

In addition to the military, arms companies, and senior cabinet officials, all defense-related departments and companies have become part of the military-industrial complex.

For the United States, developing new equipment is not only a military action to enhance its national defense capabilities, but also an exchange of interests.

The new fighter jets will completely replace the F-15 fighter jets currently in service, and the impact of this matter is multi-faceted.

The F-15 fighter is not only a fighter jet, but also a connection of interests among many military-industrial enterprises.

Only the ironclad facts appeared before the US top leaders, proving that the F-15 fighter jets were already lagging behind the Soviet Union.

And the lag is not just a little bit, but a complete lag. Only then can the United States make up its mind to conduct research on new fighter jets.

The F-22 fighter jet appeared in this complex background.

Lin Kaifeng did not report the information about the F-22 to everyone at once.

It’s not that I don’t want to report, but I’m worried that saying too much will cause trouble.

The preparation and development of the F-22 fighter jet is top secret intelligence among the United States' top secret intelligence.

Lin Kaifeng got some information through external connections, so people might not be suspicious.

Once it is too detailed.

One sentence often requires more than ten or twenty sentences to fill it out.

After eating and drinking, everyone dispersed.

Lin Kaifeng took General Liu's car and returned to the guesthouse under the headquarters of the three armed forces to rest.

On the way, General Liu looked out the window at the night and said thoughtfully, "Just now, did you have something to say that was inconvenient to say in front of everyone?"

Lin Kaifeng smiled bitterly to himself.

Sure enough, ginger is still spicy.

Even though Lin Kaifeng has lived two lives as a human being, he still cannot hide from General Liu who has fought the enemy all his life.

General Liu retracted his gaze and said calmly, "Even if you say all kinds of unorthodox words, I won't hold you accountable. This is not the era of exaggerating things. No one will hold you accountable."

Lin Kaifeng said: "Old General, I won't hide it from you. There are indeed some things that are not convenient to say in front of everyone."

General Liu looked as if he had expected this, and asked, "Is it related to the new fighter jets from the United States?"

"No."

Lin Kaifeng shook his head and said, "I think we should ask the Soviet Union for a hand."

"What did you say? To help the Soviet Union?"

General Liu looked surprised at first, then asked, "Didn't you say before that the more chaotic the Soviet Union is and the more complicated the internal situation is, the more beneficial it will be for us?"

"The Soviet Union is about to die. Not only can we obtain new fighter jets from the Soviet Union, but we can also obtain other new weapons that we never dared to think of before."

"Why have you changed your mind now? The problems of the Soviet Union are rotten to the core. We can't just help them."

After speaking, General Liu patted Lin Kaifeng on the shoulder.

General Liu was somewhat immune to Lin Kaifeng's wild ideas and shocking personality.

Encourage Lin Kaifeng to not hide anything and speak out what is to be said next.

General Liu really wanted to know why Lin Kaifeng changed so much.

Lin Kaifeng said: "The Soviet Union deserved to die. All the problems were caused by themselves, but people's ideas will change with time and situation."

"I did say that the more chaotic the Soviet Union is, the more unfavorable the situation is, and the more opportunities we have to profit from it. But from another perspective, the United States may soon turn against us."

"I guess you've heard about what happened in the foreign exchange market recently. The United States is deliberately raising the price of the island country's currency and deliberately devaluing the US dollar to achieve their goal of harvesting the island country's economy."

"The deliberate move had the opposite effect, with the dollar depreciating at a rate far exceeding U.S. expectations, even to the point of being out of control."

"The United States has been badly hurt and has lost a lot of money. As a saying goes, if you lose money inside the dam, you have to make up for it outside the dam."

"The United States wants to make up for its losses from currency devaluation as soon as possible, so it will definitely reach out to the oil in the desert world and any field that can help the United States make money."

"Use blood sucking to help yourself recover as quickly as possible."

Lin Kaifeng's idea was very simple. He wanted to take advantage of the few years when the Soviet Union was about to collapse and find ways to get everything from the Soviet Union that could help Longguo's development, including weapons, technology, talents, and equipment.

On the other hand, Lin Kaifeng will lead the Northern Machinery Group to expand its territory in the business field.

From an unknown domestic enterprise, it has gradually become a multinational enterprise with international influence.

However, there are not so many perfect things in the world.

Plans are often no match for changes.

The United States was severely damaged, and the Northern Machinery Group obtained huge funds.

Economic threats will certainly prompt the United States to take a lot of actions that are completely different from normal history.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Long Country began to compete with the United States.

To this end, Lin Kaifeng has driven domestic economic development at a faster pace than ever before and strengthened the Dragon Country's influence overseas.

Improve relations with various countries, mainly the desert tycoons.

The latter will inevitably come into direct conflict with the interests of the United States.

When the United States determines that the Soviet Union will not survive for many more years, it may end the honeymoon period with Longguo ahead of schedule.

The Soviet Union was a dying superpower.

The Dragon Kingdom is making rapid progress at a rapid pace.

If the United States had regarded Longguo as an imaginary enemy in advance, Longguo might not be able to withstand the United States' desperate attack.

The poor United States will be more cruel than the rich United States.

Lin Kaifeng firmly believes this.
