Chapter 157: An Trouble That Can't Be Escaped
Peanut Stew has a white office building in the Special Zone, which is the center of American power. The town of Arlington on the banks of the Poto Mark River, not far from the Peanut Stew Special Zone, is home to the U.S. Department of Defense. Viewed from the air, the building is in a regular pentagonal shape, hence the official name "Pentagon"
The Pentagon covers an area of 3.26 million square meters, the building is 22 meters high, has a total of 5 floors, a total construction area of 610,000 square meters, a usable area of about 350,000 square meters, 7,754 windows, a total length of 102 kilometers of corridors, at a cost of 90 million US dollars, started in 1941, opened in May 1943, is a place that can accommodate 33,000 people at the same time. There is a large parking lot on the north and south sides of the building, which can park 10,000 cars at the same time.
Since September 1947, the Department of Defense, established by the 33rd President General of the United States, has been working here. Since then, the Pentagon has become the synonym of the US Department of National Defense. It also has another name called "the military center of the earth", and in this building, in addition to the Ministry of Defense organs, it also includes the subordinate Joint Chiefs of Staff, the liaison offices of the three headquarters of the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force, as well as many key departments, and military contractors with strong backgrounds!
Before the National Day of the United States in 1976, the Pentagon only allowed staff members and official delegates to enter and exit, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter and visit. But in 1976, when the 200th anniversary of American independence was celebrated, the mysterious building's perimeter and central garden opened its doors to the public for the first time.
Since then, the hour between 1 and 2 p.m. every day from Monday to Friday has become the norm for the Pentagon, and more than 100,000 tourists from all over the United States and abroad visit the Pentagon every year.
The Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of Communications, and the Energy Bureau, which is responsible for the monitoring, control, and management of high-end weapons, and the Energy Bureau, which is responsible for the research and development of energy technology, are also located in it.
In a mysterious office in the building, Jefferson, the director of the Energy Bureau, sat in the office with a little uneasy, and across from him sat Schulz Dan, the mysterious president of Sikorsky Technologies (who produced the Black Hawk Attack helicopter) and Max, the head of the military, intelligence, and newspaper department.
Since Liu Xiang's last press conference, several departments in this building have held many video conferences and met several times. But the reason for their meeting was dozens of satellite photos and a video.
The photo shows a military experiment site somewhere in western Tibet, China.
"There's no smoke, there's no exhaust, and looking at this video, it's clear that some kind of experiment is going on," Max said, tilting the table!
As early as when the Donglin suspended street lamp was installed in China, Max obtained a sample of the Donglin suspended street lamp through a special way, and after the dismantling and research, the intelligence department paid great attention to the core technology in it.
Not to mention the current society of the 21st century, even in the era of semiconductors, before the birth of the Internet, the United States' intelligence-gathering capabilities are still terrifyingly strong.
The information collection of Donglin suspended street lamp was carried out very smoothly, from the very first video to a street lamp sample captured later, Max had already let people carefully unload the street lamp, and also basically understood its operation technology and design ideas, but understanding and mastering are two concepts.
"Gentlemen, understanding technology and mastering technology are two concepts, and mastering technology and being able to use technology to manufacture are also two processes. Max said!
"Max, even though we have obtained permission from Huaguo to import batches of suspended street lights, we still can't produce them in our factory without their full set of production technology and battery technology. Don't you tell me that sample of yours can still be used after reassembly?" said Schulz Dan with a frown!
Americans are very proud, but they are not so arrogant that they think that their level of science and technology can be a global leader in all fields.
The reason why the United States is strong is that it has the largest military base complex in the world and that it has the most advanced core industrial science and technology. For example, the most advanced electronic chips, energy utilization, aerospace, military industry, as well as nuclear energy and heavy industry technology. Mastering these, they will always be invincible.
But now, the floating street lamp of Donglin Technology Group has appeared. It is a joint application of energy technology and aviation technology, and it greatly surpasses the technology that the United States has now.
This is to shake their high position, if they are not careful, they will fall from that high chair! So they are bound to get these two technologies, and after many contacts with the Donglin Group to try to introduce these two technologies, they decided to take a different approach.
......
"Several, do you have any good news?" the figure of the Plumon Chicken appeared on the wall of the office where they were meeting!
"I'm sorry no, Mr. President, our re-contact still failed to achieve the goal, and we couldn't see each other's principals at all," Jefferson, the director of the Energy Bureau, said helplessly!
"Mr. President, we can't see Liu Xiang, the president of their company, only Wu Shanshan, their general manager. That's a very shrewd woman with a certain background," Schulz Dan replied!
"As long as Donglin Group is willing to exchange, they can get some of our cutting-edge technologies in the nuclear industry, but they are not interested in Mr. President," Director Jefferson said.
Pruni angrily pouted and said:
So... It's just my way. Gentlemen, you know I was a businessman before I sat in that office, and I personally think that as long as you are a businessman, there is no way you can't make a deal. It's the same for the country, didn't we succeed last time! What we need to look for now is a way to get the other side to agree to agree to terms with us, no matter what the method is, as long as it works, it will succeed!
"Then cut off their sea lines first. Max said: He is in charge of military intelligence and knows what kind of means to deal with the other side in order to achieve his goal, and there is no doubt that the fastest and most effective way to threaten the other side at present is to cut off the enemy's sea passage.
"Their Belt and Road Trunk Line is not yet fully completed, and sea freight is still their most important trade channel. Max then said!
"As long as this trade channel is blocked, even for a few days, they will face huge loss pressure and difficulties"
Pruni was silent after hearing this method, he can launch a trade investigation against the other party, this is a conspiracy on the surface, the other party wants not to suffer heavy economic losses can only be forced to negotiate with himself, but cut off the other party's shipping routes, this is a scoundrel move to flip the table, and then you have to risk tearing your face with the other party!
But the communication of business cooperation has failed several times on its own side. If there is a way to do both, the chances of achieving the goal will be great, and maybe you can get more of what you want?
After thinking for a while, Planji made a decision, "Your method is very goodMax, blocking the other party's sea lines of communication is indeed a good way." Then let's do both."
