The United States has always regarded the Celestial Empire as a great threat, believing that the Celestial Empire is the only country in the world that can pull the United States out of the global hegemony. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoIn response to this possible great threat to the United States, the United States has been suppressing the Celestial Empire...... The ultimate mastermind behind this is the United States.

Now, Tang Lao actually said that the Celestial Empire wanted to cooperate with the United States the most, and Ye Chen really couldn't figure it out.

"Xiaoye, you know it too. Since the end of World War II, the United States has become the world hegemon, and the United States has many cards in its hand, and there are many cards that we want. Compared to the United States, the woolly bear is really too far behind. Donald said with a serious face.

Although Ye Chen has always been unhappy with the United States, he has to admit that this is the truth.

The United States has been the boss of the Western world for more than half a century. In such a long period of time, the United States has made a global layout and has really mastered a lot of cards. Although the Red Empire was once the only opponent of the United States, compared to the United States, the Red Empire did not have many cards in its hand.

"Donald, your words are reasonable, but we don't necessarily have to cooperate with the United States." Ye Chen is unhappy with the United States, but he doesn't want to use photonic information technology to cooperate with the United States.

"Xiao Ye, you have to think so. Whether it is cooperation or fighting, it is nothing more than a means for countries to compete for interests. Donald's eyes were full of wisdom.

Ye Chen wrinkled his brows, thought about it, and had to admit that Donald's words were to the point and made a lot of sense.

There is no friendship between nations, only interests. The pursuit of profit is nothing more than two ways: cooperation and strife.

"Whether it's cooperation or fighting, it depends on which way has the least cost and which way has the most benefits." Donald said again.

Ye Chen thought for a while, and couldn't help nodding, that's really what happened.

Throughout the history of countries in ancient and modern times, this is the case. The extreme expression of strife is war. Before going to war, there are many options, such as economic sanctions, containment and blockade, and when these methods of fighting are exhausted and the goal is not achieved, then the war is waged and resolved by force.

The extreme manifestation of cooperation is alliance.

"The cards in the hands of the United States can be divided into two categories, one is high technology and the other is resources." Donald said again.

"Donald, there is indeed a lot of high technology in the United States, but we are now in the process of industrial upgrading. Because of the massive use of super light brains, our country's high-tech will soon have a blowout, and our country's high-tech will soon surpass that of the United States, and there is no need for us to cooperate with the United States in high-tech. Ye Chen thought for a while.

Donald's eyes were full of appreciation, and he said, "Yes, that's the reason." In the past, we had to cooperate with the United States for the sake of high technology, but now we can cooperate, but the desire to cooperate is not so strong. ”

The United States is the global hegemon, plundering within full power, including talent plunder, technology plunder, resource plunder, etc., which makes the United States have a lot of bargaining chips in its hands.

Talent plundering and technology plundering on a global scale is an important reason why the United States has become a world-renowned high-tech power. The United States is tied to Europe, and 30% of American military technology comes from Europe.

It is precisely because of this that the United States has always forbidden Europe to sell military equipment to the Celestial Empire, for fear of leaking US military secrets.

If the Celestial Empire had bought a large amount of military equipment from Europe, it would have mastered 30 percent of the US military secrets. If we crack it in reverse, it is not a problem to grasp 50 or 60 percent of US military secrets.

The United States is able to plunder talent and technology on a global scale, which makes the United States very strong in high technology.

It is precisely because of this that in the past, in order to obtain high-tech products from the United States, the Celestial Empire had to accept many overlord clauses.

However, with the upgrading of the Celestial Empire's industry and the massive use of super light brains, this situation was quickly reversed, and there was no need for the Celestial Empire to cooperate with the United States in high technology.

"In addition to high technology, the United States still has a lot of good things in its hands, which makes us very excited." Donald said again.

Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and he immediately made a move, saying, "Elder Tang, in this case, we can build some military bases from the United States like last time." ”

"Xiao Ye, it's not me who hits you, it's impossible." Donald shook his head.

"Donald, what you said is not right. Our country's interests have spread all over the world, and it is extremely necessary for our army to maintain it, so our country has built a blue-water navy, and if we want to go to the deep blue, wouldn't it be better if we could have more military bases? Ye Chen refuted loudly.

With the improvement of our national strength, the substantial growth of our economic strength, and the growing frontier of interests, it is urgent for our army to go abroad and safeguard the frontier of our interests. If there were more military bases, the benefits to the Celestial Empire would be obvious.

Tang Lao actually said that it was impossible, which made Ye Chen really unable to understand.

"Huh. Xiao Ye, last time you built a military base from the United States, you were addicted, right? Tang Lao stared at Ye Chen and said with a smile.

"I don't have too many good things like this." Ye Chen said with a smile.

"Of course, the more good things the better, but it also depends on the actual situation. Last time, we slaughtered the United States too hard, and if we wanted a military base again, the United States would not agree to it anyway. Even, it will turn against us. Who told us to slaughter us too hard last time? Donald said with a grin.

In order to obtain the right of first refusal to buy photonic chips, the United States had to take out five military bases to make deals with the Celestial Empire. You must know that these five military bases are not ordinary military bases, they were selected by the Celestial Empire, and each military base is of great significance, and one should be topped by several.

At that time, the Celestial Empire was sharpening its knives and slaughtering the United States fiercely, which made the United States very painful.

If it were to do it again, the United States might not be able to endure it, and the possibility of turning the other cheek was very high.

Military bases, for the United States, are the lifeblood. The Celestial Empire slaughtered one sword, which is already very difficult to bear, and the possibility of slaughtering another knife is very low.

"The United States is one factor, and the other factor is in ourselves." Donald's words made Ye Chen a little puzzled.

"We?" Ye Chen wondered.

"That's right, that's us. Having overseas military bases is not about having more military bases, but about matching one's own strength. Donald explained.

Ye Chen twisted his brows and thought about it.

"Our national strength has indeed improved a lot, and our army is rapidly changing, but we must also see our shortcomings. It can be said that our country is not strong in the area of overseas troop projection. It is difficult to accept this, but it is a fact that cannot be erased. Donald looked serious.

Ye Chen thought about it and nodded.

When it comes to overseas force projection capabilities, the United States is second to none in the world. In World War I, the United States shipped millions of troops across the ocean to Europe.

Not to mention the Second World War, more troops were transported, millions or tens of millions, and such a large-scale projection of troops is unique in the history of mankind.

And our country, because the naval strength is not very strong, it is difficult to do this.

"Far from it, let's talk about the first Gulf War, the United States transported hundreds of thousands of troops to the Middle East in a short period of time, and this ability to project troops is amazing. This war has greatly stimulated our country, which is not only vigorously building our information industry, but is also exploring new military theories. Up to now, we have made great strides in military affairs, and our military strength has far surpassed that of the US military at that time. However, in terms of overseas troop projection, we still did not reach the level of the United States at that time. "Donald is very pragmatic.

The first Gulf War caused a sensation all over the world, and a completely new mode of warfare appeared. However, only the Celestial Empire was really stimulated, and only the Celestial Empire rose up to catch up. By now, the Celestial Empire has caught up and made great progress.

However, in the area of overseas troop projection, we still did not reach the level of the United States at that time.

Therefore, if there are too many military bases overseas, we will not be able to effectively control them because of our insufficient overseas delivery capabilities. On the contrary, there is a possibility that something will happen.

The need for five military bases is the result of careful consideration by the state, taking into account the needs of the country for a long time to come.

"Donald, you are very sober." Ye Chen was very appreciative.

"We, the planners of the country, must always be sober." Donald's face was vigilant.

"The state doesn't want military bases, so what will it want?" Ye Chen was curious.

"Xiao Ye, didn't I say it, the United States has a lot of cards in its hand, which makes us feel a lot. This time, we intend to ask for resources from the United States. Donald's words made Ye Chen even more incomprehensible.

"Resources?" Ye Chen was puzzled, his brows tightened.

"Xiao Ye, you also know that after the United States became a global hegemon, it plundered all over the world, plundered talents, plundered technology, and plundered resources. The United States has too many resources at its disposal on a global scale, and this is an important reason why the US economy can continue to develop, and this is also an important reason why the living standards of the American people are very high. If nothing else, let's just say that the power to set oil prices is in the hands of the United States. Donald looked serious.

Ye Chen knew how the United States plundered resources around the world.

Isn't it necessary to develop the economy with a lot of resources? Without resources, it is nonsense to talk about economic development.

The United States is well aware of this, and after becoming a global hegemon, it has plundered resources around the world and grasped the power to set oil prices, and even the world-famous oil organization has to listen to the United States.

If the United States wants to say that the price of oil will be lowered, it will have to fall, and if the United States says it wants to rise, it will have to rise.

In order to sanction the hairy bear, the United States lowered the price of oil very low, which made the life of the hairy bear, who had made a fortune in energy, sad all of a sudden.

It is precisely because the United States controls so many resources that our country has suffered a lot in acquiring resources overseas. For example, oil, we have to go to Africa to find it. Africa, the United States does not want to go.

The United States occupies the Middle East, the world's largest oil producer, and one can imagine how convenient it is for the United States.

"I see. Donald, you are so wise. If this is done, the cost of finding resources in our country will be greatly reduced, and the dependence on woolly bears will be reduced. Ye Chen quickly understood, he was very excited, and his voice was very high.

"yes, that's what we think." Donald was very appreciative.

"However, this is a tiger's mouth, can it succeed?" Ye Chen became worried again.
