After the meeting with Mr. Ye, John met with the Australian Prime Minister again, mainly to discuss military affairs.

The two sides negotiated very smoothly, not only signed the "US-Australia Missile Defense Program" and the "Bilateral Free Trade Agreement", but also successfully let Australia lease 10 Los Angeles-class nuclear submarines, 12 Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, and a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier.

Australia faces the sea on all sides, so the navy and air force are the most important, but Australia's economy is average, and it cannot be as tycoon as the United States, and can build a strong navy, nor can it be as capricious as India, and buy and buy when it meets what it likes!

The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier costs $4.3 billion and is leased for $120 million a year.

The Los Angeles nuclear submarine cost $810 million and is leased for $26 million a year.

The Arleigh Burke-class destroyer cost $1.42 billion and is leased for $41 million a year.

Australia only needs to pay more than $800 million a year to use a strong navy, which is very cost-effective. And 30% of this money is paid in cash, and the remaining 60% is paid for in mineral resources.

In this way, it seems that John is at a loss.

But is John the kind of person who suffers?

The ships are on a 30-year lease.

The rent of a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier for 30 years is 3.6 billion.

The Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine is 780 million.

Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are 1.23 billion.

Although each warship lost a little money, of which the aircraft carrier lost the most, 700 million dollars, but sometimes the account is not calculated like this!

Australia must be equipped with carrier-based aircraft if it has an aircraft carrier, and John can get back some of it from the carrier-based aircraft, as well as some of the follow-up weapons equipment, parts and replacement, and maintenance, so John will not lose money.

Moreover, the mineral resources pulled back are refined and sold, and John can make another profit.

What's more important is that John is now reducing military spending, and the last two Nimitz-class aircraft carriers have been stopped, but the arms companies have to survive, so to help Australia build these warships, nearly 30 billion contracts, can make these arms companies not lack orders in the past two years.

What's more, John cut off a fleet, and the strength of the navy has been affected to a certain extent, Australia, as an iron friend, leased these warships to Australia for use, in fact, let Australia help the United States raise an aircraft carrier fleet, and Australia in turn has to pay John, why not do this kind of good thing.

What's more, Australia's geographical location is too important, although Japan and Russia are now younger brothers and allies, but one day the younger brother wants to be the big brother, and the allies want to be the leader of the alliance.

Although the United States has a powerful navy, the Asia-Pacific region is too far away from the United States, and its strength has been weakened too much, so how to respond quickly when there is an accident in the Asia-Pacific region, the best way is to establish a military base in Australia, and an anti-missile system, once the little brother is disobedient, Australia will become a transit point for the US military, a large rear, from which the US military can continue to attack Japan, supply, and defend against missiles sent by Japan.

In addition, although Russia is an ally with the United States, John will not be completely assured of them, and by increasing Australia's military strength, Japan, Austria, Singapore, and the United States will be able to complete the layout of the strategic island chain, prevent Russia's excessive expansion in the Asia-Pacific region, and dispel Russia's desire to be the leader of the alliance.

Therefore, leasing warships to Australia has both economic and strategic considerations for the United States.

In the future, the United States only needs to strengthen cooperation with its allies, and it does not need to do things all over the world, but to maintain the image of the hegemon, and to develop and grow itself with peace of mind, and to make a fortune in silence, just like before World War II, how the world is chaotic has nothing to do with me, and quietly hiding to increase strength is the king.

It's just that John's layout is over, but the layout of other countries has just begun!

John used to plague the United States at most, but now he has successfully scourged the whole world, because of his layout, and now the whole world is being made by him.

The Middle East is one of them.

The departure of the US military is a good thing for many countries, but not for others!

As one of the most important and richest countries in the Arab world in the Middle East, the UAE is the most coveted country, like a young girl, who wants to be close to her, especially her neighbor Iran, who is even more coveted by her, and can't wait to snatch back the cottage to be the wife of the village.

In the past, when there was the United States, Iran was suppressed and did not dare to move, but now the United States has greatly reduced its military power to protect Kuwait, which makes the UAE sleepless at night, after all, there is a robber sleeping next door, and he may take himself away at any time.

So now the UAE must save itself, otherwise what awaits itself is the ruin of the country.

How can I help myself?

A group of royal families got together and thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a solution.

First, spend $50 billion to establish contacts with elite elements such as American journalists and writers to exert influence on the top level of the United States.

Second, buying and buying a large number of US weapons is to improve its own self-preservation and to use money to open up relations with the United States.

Their method is very effective, and it has indeed attracted the attention of the Morgan family, the United States shrinks its military strength, and the CIA's power needs to be expanded, so that the United States can always understand every move in the world, so when these local tyrants in the UAE decided to spend 50 billion US dollars to contact the American elites, the CIA put this information on the old Morgan's desk, but the old Morgan didn't bother to pay attention to it, he didn't dare to be interested in the Arabs, and he was not even interested in the oil in the Middle East. Ammunition. Second, Morgan's Gulf of Mexico and California have a lot of oil, especially Alaska and the West Rocky Mountains, which are more abundant, but they have not been announced to the public, and now the proven reserves are more than 60 billion barrels, and billions of barrels have been announced to the public, and half of Alaska's land has not been explored, and the sea has not been explored.

Therefore, those who shout poor every day are not necessarily really poor, and those who drive luxury cars with big gold chains are not necessarily rich.

Since the United States is so rich in oil, why does it call itself an oil-poor country every day?

Very simply, the United States does not shout about poverty, how can it buy oil in a big way, and how can it eat other people's money and save its own! The dollar is just a piece of paper, and resources, population, and land are the cornerstones of a country's hegemony.

So now Canada, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Venezuela, Russia...... These big oil producers flow more than 8 million barrels of crude oil into the United States every day, especially Russia, once the Alaska pipeline is built, Russia can send 3 million barrels of crude oil to the United States in a day, the United States does not need to exploit its own oil fields at all, it is enough for domestic use, and crude oil can be exported if it is refined.

So when the elder Morgan knew about the UAE's moves, he ignored it and handed over the backhand to John.

John took a look at the information, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, the local tyrants in the Middle East are indeed generous, in order to attract the attention of the high-level United States, they are 50 billion US dollars, and they are so rich that they are not as rich as this, and the richest man in the world is really not as generous as these local tyrants.

However, John still ignored the UAE, and just let the CIA and FBI keep a detailed record of every writer and journalist who had dealings with the UAE, and then left the matter behind.

Of course, John and the elder Morgan have completely different attitudes, the elder Morgan is dismissive, but John has a certain deep meaning.

The UAE is a chess piece in John's game, a powder keg he arranged in the Middle East, the US troops withdrew, Iran invaded the UAE, the UAE asked for help, and the United States occupied the righteousness and sent troops to directly defeat Iran, second, to sign an alliance with the UAE, and third, to form a camp between Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Israel, and the UAE to completely split the Arab world.

So John will not only ignore the UAE now, but will even deliberately make things difficult for the UAE, create the illusion that the United States does not like the UAE, confuse Iran, and let Iran have no worries, so that Iran will do it, and the UAE will ask for help.
