Chapter 2039
The empire is falling towards the abyss. Driven by desire, countless people are stepping on the accelerator. There are even people who want to steal the empire before this journey to the abyss arrives. Materials and energy to survive.
The maintenance and upgrade budget document for the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier fleet was placed on Uncle Sam's desk.
Looking at the long series of numbers, the nominal controller of the capital empire could not help but tremble with his fingers.
"Do they think I am a fool? Or do they think I live in a mental hospital? Kindergarten? The first phase will cost more than 10 billion, and the second and third phases combined will total close to 40 billion!?
With this money, why don’t we just build a new aircraft carrier! ? "
After hearing these low growls, the assistant on the side seemed not to be aware of this person's anger at all.
After waiting for Uncle Sam to vent for a moment, the assistant said : "You should have read the report. We no longer have any more equipment and resources to build new aircraft carriers that meet the standards. In other words, you only need to allocate funds once during your term to get more support.
But if you want to build more aircraft carriers, other groups will have other ideas.
There is not much time left for you to think. Of course, I am just making some suggestions. You are free and you can make your own decisions. ”
Uncle Sam took a deep breath when he heard this.
Of course he understands that he is free, but this freedom requires paying more.
And what the assistant said is very reasonable. Now that the budget plan for the maintenance and upgrade of the USS Roosevelt aircraft carrier fleet is approved, he will have more advantages in facing the next election.
After all, those people will definitely not want their next profits to be canceled by other outsiders. As long as they are profitable, those people will continue to support them, and even become their most solid backing, solving some secret problems. trouble.
Wanting to understand that this was not a difficult question, Uncle Sam picked up the pen and signed his signature on the document.
"Since the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier fleet needs maintenance and upgrades, other fleets should also need more support, right? After all, we have failed once and can no longer accept failure."
Although there have been previous failure records, This was indeed the first failure during his term, so Uncle Sam did not blush at all when he said this.
The assistant also responded in time: "The empire needs stronger shields and spears. Do you need me to contact the relevant federal supervisor to discuss it?"
"Well, let's leave this matter to you. It’s up to you, I hope we can work together to revive our great country! God bless!”
"God bless America!" On the last day of August, according to the American Maritime News website, the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier fleet recently arrived at the Australian shipyard to carry out maintenance and upgrade work. This is the first time since the shipyard was established , for the first time undertaking maintenance, repair and overhaul, and upgrade services for U.S. Navy ships.
In addition to Australia, neon island countries also have logistics and maintenance centers set up in the United States.
In this regard, some media commented: "Since the U.S. market began to urge the manufacturing industry to return, the ship maintenance work in its domestic market has reached saturation, and sending some warships out for maintenance is completely a 'helpless move.' , after all, workers need to be trained, and equipment needs to be developed, upgraded and manufactured.”
But some military experts believe, “This is the case. It is a key measure for Uncle Sam to deepen the alliance.”
But the Inner Mongolia sea cucumber professor who has been very active on the Internet explained: “The main reason for the United States’ move is not at all. What is local saturation? It is not about deepening the alliance. The fundamental reason is that their local shipbuilding industry has seriously shrunk.
According to the latest survey data, the domestic shipyards in the United States have fallen to a level that is not second-rate as early as ten years ago. The shipyards that were very advanced in the last century have already suffered from aging infrastructure and technology in this era. There are insufficient personnel, low technical level, and even the supply companies of various spare parts are in bankruptcy or layoffs.
At one time, the United States wanted to find the Korean shipyard to repair their ships, but because some Korean companies cooperated with our Daxia companies, they were restricted by some regulations they had made, so this Cooperation was not agreed upon, and in the end we went to the Neon Island Country's shipyard for repairs.
There is also the famous USS Stennis aircraft carrier in the United States maritime power. It began to replace nuclear fuel eight years ago and underwent mid-term upgrades. However, due to the maintenance of another aircraft carrier not being completed at that time, So repairs were postponed.
This aircraft carrier was supposed to have been repaired and upgraded four years ago, but it was only last year that it was barely launched into the water to perform its mission.
You may not know that according to the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act of the United States, the maintenance work of their navy's combat ships is restricted to be carried out only in their own country, so in the past they used to treat those non-services such as supply and logistics. Combat ships were sent to shipyards in other countries for repair and maintenance, but this time they went against the 'ancestral precepts' and chose to go to Australia for repairs.
Of course, I have also checked this shipyard in Australia. The shareholders are extremely complex, but most of them are American forces. For example, a certain corner building has a large share of equity in this shipyard, so from now on In a sense, the shipyard remains under American control.
The United States once had the world's top shipyards and the largest shipbuilding industry. However, in the past few decades, they have closed many excellent shipyards. Now they can undertake the construction and maintenance tasks of naval ships. There are only 4 shipyards left, and it is said that these 4 shipyards purchase materials and equipment from our Daxia.
It’s just that at this time, they seem to have become dumb and deaf. Not only do they not announce these facts, but my information channels also show that these four shipyards have increased their support for our Daxia enterprise. Material order requirements. ”
Not only did he explain verbally, this expert professor of international relations also found a bunch of public information documents to prove that what he told was true.
These big guys’ "Debating the Classics" made many netizens excited
But many people did not expect that the bald eagle, which was so arrogant at first, has now turned into a "weak" person.
Large-scale equipment in the shipyard needs maintenance without exception. Many key equipment and special materials are mostly purchased directly from Daxia Fang.
