Chapter 1404: There is nothing that a battle ax cannot solve (second update)
All conspiracies are worth mentioning in the face of absolute strength.
Although various coincidences made Li Yian feel some kind of fear, or aroused his vigilance, on the other hand, he knew very well what to say in the face of the conspiracy.
It’s strength!
In the face of strength, the so-called conspiracy is just a joke!
Soon, Li Yian temporarily forgot about the so-called "conspiracy". After all, before there is substantive evidence, everything is just speculation and just a conspiracy theory.
"At the moment, it's just that in the United States, someone is manipulating the imagination..."
With this thought in his mind, Li Yian glanced out the car window and saw that the car had now entered the shipyard.
In the shipyard - an aircraft carrier is being built.
This aircraft carrier, with a standard displacement of more than 60,000 tons, is the largest warship built by Taiping Shipbuilding Industry. After one year of construction, its ship shape has already taken shape - in fact, it is only half of it.
However, even so, standing in front of it, you can still feel the impact it brings.
"No wonder people always long for aircraft carriers..."
Standing next to the dock, looking at the aircraft carrier that was beginning to take shape in the dock, Li Yian was talking to himself.
The power impact brought by the huge hull is unmatched by any other warship. On the sea, such a capital ship is a symbol of power!
Only with it can you be qualified to show off your power on the sea!
"Your Excellency, the No. 03 aircraft carrier has been under construction for 13 months now. According to the entire construction plan, its construction period is 48 months..."
When the engineer introduced its construction cycle, Li Yian didn't think it was long. After all, this was their first time building an aircraft carrier, and 48 months was not a long time. After all, even for the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier, from laying the keel to launching it, It also took a full 40 months to use, and almost 11 months later before it was delivered for use.
"This is the first time we have built such a large aircraft carrier. We must pay attention to learning from experience. We do not have to pursue speed. We must first gain corresponding experience."
After a few simple instructions, Li Yian took another tour of the shipyard. The warships currently under construction include aircraft carriers and new destroyers. After the military operation against Iraq ended, the Navy proposed the construction of large destroyers. requirement, the purpose of which is to carry more tomahawks.
After all, in the military operations in Iraq, Tomahawks were the most beautiful ones, and even the US military purchased a batch of them. Now they are definitely the top products of defense equipment companies.
"A double-arm launcher is installed at the bow and stern of the ship. The new double-arm launcher was specially designed. It had the shortest response time and the fastest firing rate among similar double-arm launchers at that time. Two ready-to-fire bombs were fired every second. The missile can be fired at intervals and reloaded in 9 seconds. Only one operator can complete missile selection, loading, launch and other operations. The bottom magazine can also provide a loading capacity of 64 rounds. "
Although the engineer sounded very proud when introducing the new launcher, in Li Yian's ears, he just sighed helplessly.
The double-arm launcher...it's better to launch it vertically!
I really don’t know when it will take until vertical launch can enter the navy’s warships. Of course, there will also be phased array radar...
Although these black technologies are not currently achievable, people can’t help but look forward to them.
In this way, after inspecting the shipyard for a long time, Li Yian left the shipyard. When leaving the shipyard, when he saw a Yongchang-class destroyer being maintained, he raised the corners of his mouth lightly and muttered in his heart:
"Everything in the world is no bigger than a battle axe!"
This is true self-confidence. No matter what happens, in the end, there is nothing that a battle ax cannot solve.
If one can't solve the problem...then try another one!
……
In the study, Li Yian was still looking through various reports. In addition to some transactional reports, of course, there are also reports from the Bureau of Investigation.
Among them are political trends in Washington, Moscow, London and other places, and of course there are also some situation reports in Africa.
"John Profumo ordered the deployment of air and armored forces to Kenya..."
Looking at the additional troops in this report, Li Yian smiled and then said:
"This John Profumo is very tough."
"Your Excellency, Profumo is indeed very stubborn. When the locals resisted British colonial rule in Oman a few years ago, he never made any concessions. Facing the threat of guerrillas, he even used an extremely serious attitude to Consider using chemical weapons instead.”
Jia Wentao's words stunned Li Yian for a moment, and then said:
"Even if they want to use chemical weapons, I can only say that when it comes to being immoral, the British are the best at it."
While feeling emotional, Li Yi'an had to admit that Profumo was not only tough, but also decisive in his actions. As a representative of the conservative hardliners, after Kenya suffered an "invasion", Profumo quickly moved from Cyprus, Tanganyika and other countries. The African colonies mobilized a large number of land, sea and air forces to do their best to protect British rule in Kenya.
"So, in the short term, the situation should be moving in the UK's favour."
"Indeed, the Russians have not realized the importance of the current colonies to Britain! Therefore, they will do their best to protect East Africa!"
The reason why Li Yian said this is because of the "Ocean Pound". Since the establishment of the "Ocean Pound", the colonies have once again resumed blood supply to Britain. In the past few years, Britain has been able to obtain more than one billion US dollars from the colonies every year. return. How could it be possible for Daying to give up such a cow that could produce milk?
Therefore, the United Kingdom is bound to struggle for several years. In the end, it is still unclear who will win and who will lose. But one thing that is certain is that in the next few years, Africa will not be able to stop at all.
"Africa...has become a piece of fat meat!"
Li Yi'an couldn't help but sigh, not only because of the "Ocean Pound", which gave Britain a tool to further plunder colonial wealth, but also because of the farms in Kenya, Tanganyika and other East African regions.
After nearly ten years of hard work, grain companies have reclaimed nearly 10 million hectares of land in East Africa. They have built modern irrigation facilities there. With modern agriculture, they can produce tens of millions of tons of corn, wheat, soybeans and other crops every year. Sesame and other crops.
Because of this, both the Investigation Department and the military are extremely concerned about the situation in East Africa. The military has even made corresponding plans. If the situation continues to deteriorate and the British cannot ensure the stability of the situation, then they Will take action.
In fact, whether it is the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, or our own side, the reason why they have set their sights on East Africa is because the importance of East Africa now far exceeds that in the past.
To Britain, East Africa is now like a cow, the kind that can give milk. For me, East Africa is a granary, which affects whether hundreds of millions of people can eat meat.
"The cows are fattened, everyone is jealous, the Soviet Union..."
Li Yian frowned, and then said to himself.
"Now they have acquired Ethiopia. In fact, as long as that place is managed well, the food produced there can fully meet their needs, but they have reached out to Kenya..."
In fact, it was inevitable that the Soviet Union would reach out to Africa. Even in all its plans, it relied on the Soviet Union's ambitions in Africa to control Africa.
How could Britain give up its colonies in East Africa without the Soviet Union to smash the plates?
Of course, I have no chance to receive the legacy of those empires.
However, plans are always plans. With the development of agriculture in East Africa, the importance of those farms is far greater than in the past. In this case, stability is the most important, because only a stable situation can guarantee its food output. not affected.
But on the other hand, receiving the imperial legacy is the most important thing. Therefore, using the iron fist of the Soviet Union to make Britain explode with gold coins is the best solution to maximize benefits, but you must control the speed!
Putting the report on the table, Li Yian stood up and walked to the wall. Look at that map of the world and stare at East Africa on the map.
He thought for a while and then said:
"Okay, let them jump around there for a few days first? If that doesn't work..."
If that doesn't work, then it's time to implement the next step.
What's the next step?
Either follow the original plan and support local puppets, or... other options.
"Well..."
Thinking of other options, Li Yian frowned and just stared at Africa on the map silently, listening to the extremely vast land.
"But, Your Excellency, if we don't make any statement, I'm afraid the Russians will misunderstand..."
Although he is not a diplomat, Jia Wentao still said:
"Thus causing them to misjudge."
Nodding, Li Yian said:
"Yes, we cannot remain silent no matter what. After all, our fundamental interests are involved. If we don't express our attitude, they will think that we are weak and can be bullied!"
Although Li Yian has always shown a "tough" attitude, he knows very well that once this toughness shows weakness, the previous "toughness" will become a joke.
Therefore, you must express your attitude first and tell the other party your attitude directly and clearly at many times, so that the other party does not have the courage to test.
"But now the Soviet Union is not directly involved. Such a proxy war is really a headache, but we can't be too tough. If the Soviets are scared back, is it possible for the British to spit out East Africa? ”
This was the crux of the problem. He was afraid that his brother would have a hard life, and he was also afraid that his brother would drive a Land Rover. If he helped Daying defend East Africa, it would be more of a loss than the gain.
"So, a certain response needs to be given... Well, the scale must be grasped to allow the Soviet Union some room for fantasy. Britain will not spit out gold coins unless it is punched by the iron fist of the Eastern world! Well, through indirect Let’s send a signal to them!”
After listening to your decision, Jia Wentao thought for a moment and added:
"Your Excellency, we can also take some actions at home to show our dissatisfaction!"
"At home, this is also a choice..."
Li Yian raised the corners of his mouth and sneered:
"What are Russians more concerned about now?"
