The eldest brother's words reminded Chen Xu that it was time to end the technology deal with the United States, and at the same time to start contact with the Soviet Union. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In 1983, the U.S. imperialists released a trillion-dollar Star Wars program with a military force, in which various sci-fi weapons programs were set up to establish a space anti-missile defense system in space, and directly stated that it would engage in a space arms race with the Soviet Union.

In fact, the Soviet Union was also tricked, spending hundreds of billions of dollars to deal with the American threat from space, which consumed about 40% of domestic resources and became an important factor in the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Another factor that led to the collapse of the Soviet Union was the collusion of US imperialism with Saudi Arabia to increase oil production by a large margin, which led to a sharp drop in oil prices. The Soviet Union was the world's largest oil producer at that time, and it obtained foreign exchange by exporting oil and gas to the Western world, so as to import advanced equipment and grain from the West, and the collapse in oil prices caused the Soviet Union to lose a large amount of foreign exchange.

Compounded by the Chernobyl nuclear accident and the war in Afghanistan and support for Vietnam, it all added up and eventually led to the collapse of the Soviet Union.

The world unanimously believes that the Star Wars program is a hoax of the US imperialists, but in fact it is not, and the US imperialism has also invested a huge amount of money in this plan, and the US imperialists' global anti-missile system is one of the results of this plan, including the THAAD anti-missile system that makes the Chinese family hate it!

Star Wars is an arms race in space, and the Soviet Union has invested heavily in the rapid progress of space technology, and the United States cannot remain indifferent, and must invest huge sums of money to catch up. It was not until the collapse of the Soviet Union and the absence of competitors that the US imperialists terminated this money-burning project, at which time the US imperialists' space technology had led the world for at least 50 years, and there was no country to compete with.

Chen Xu felt that since he thought of this stubble, he might as well add more fire to the US-Soviet space arms race, make the competition more intense, and throw in more funds!

Chen Xu could give the Soviet Union some advanced aerospace technology, such as rocket recovery technology in later generations, electronic integration technology and supercomputers, etc., so that Mao Zi could make more achievements in aerospace. At that time, the US imperialists will certainly not sit idly by and watch the Soviet Union's space technology advance by leaps and bounds, and will certainly increase NASA funding.

Although the Americans have money, if they can make their military spending flow into the space field, then the research and development funds for new weapons will definitely be compressed. It is not a good way to influence the development of US imperialist military science and technology by encircling Wei and saving Zhao.

How can the science and technology tree of aerospace science and technology be so easy to climb, and if you take the wrong road, the investment in front of you will be wasted, and the space shuttle of US imperialism is the most obvious example.

In fact, not only aerospace technology, but also some military science and technology industries that have no future in other countries can also transfer technology to the Soviet Union. It can not only consume the national resources of the Soviet Union more quickly, but also allow the Americans to inevitably join in this unintentional arms race, so as to achieve the goal of delaying the scientific and technological development of US imperialism.

After Chen Xu and his eldest brother chatted in the cabin for a while, they became more and more sleepy in the buzzing roar in the cabin, and finally both of them shrank back in their seats and dozed off, and the originally lively discussions in the cabin gradually subsided.

A warm sun hit Chen Xu's face through the porthole, and he opened his eyes in a daze to see the transport plane descending, and the sun could be seen slowly rising from the blue sea outside the window, and the plane had arrived in Dalian!

After landing smoothly, as soon as the cabin door opened, there were already a large number of officials waiting outside, such a scene was undoubtedly Chen Xu's least favorite, just pushing the eldest brother to the front and letting him exchange politeness with these officials.

Because the transport plane was about to take off again at 10 o'clock, everyone casually said a few words and introduced each other, and then got on the bus and went to the military port to see the anchored aircraft carrier.

These naval officers prepared some breakfast intimately, and Chen Xu and his entourage ate them on the bus, so as not to go hungry to visit the aircraft carrier in the morning. When we arrived at the military port, the surrounding voices began to boil, and many ordinary people came to the military port early in the morning to watch the excitement, because it was difficult to occupy a good position with the crowds of people in the harbor at dawn.

Because the Forrestal class is a conventionally powered aircraft carrier, for Chen Xu, who pursues perfection in everything, it is not the most advanced nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, so it cannot attract his attention. After the negotiations were completed, he forgot about it, and it wasn't until the eldest brother said it on the plane just now that he remembered that the Navy had an aircraft carrier.

The disdain in my heart dissipated after seeing Saratoga's majestic hull, and only when I really approached the aircraft carrier could I feel his enormity, as the largest weapon made by mankind, the masterpiece of the pinnacle of human industry, the impact of this steel giant beast on people, directly shocked people's hearts.

"Is this an aircraft carrier! It's really a sea giant, it's hard to imagine it's so huge without seeing it with your own eyes! Chen Weiguo put up a pergola in his hand and looked up at the hull of the dozens of stories high, and couldn't wait to enter the simplified interior to see what was going on.

"Of course, the sea airfield used to take off and land planes is big, but this thing is the core of the US imperialist land, sea and air integration, the global conventional strike force, if the US imperialists have aircraft carriers as backers, constantly taking off and landing fighters to bomb our army and strike at our army's supply lines, this will not be the result of the anti-US aid and DPRK back then, I am afraid that the US military will be slaughtered by our army in an organized manner!"

Chen Xu looked at the giant ship in front of him and sighed a lot, after the end of World War II, the US empire would think that it would be able to sit back and relax with a nuclear bomb, so it scrapped the plan to develop aircraft carriers, thinking that the construction of such large warships would only cost military spending, so the navy's budget was cut. Forrestal, the first US Secretary of Defense, who was committed to building large aircraft carriers at that time, jumped from the 16th floor of the Naval Hospital, which caused the US imperialists' large aircraft carrier program to lose its most powerful supporters. In the war in Korea that year, aircraft carriers played an irreplaceable role as front-line airfields, which made the U.S. Congress re-recognize the role of aircraft carriers, so the Forrestal-class aircraft carriers came into being.

Therefore, if it were not for the powerful combat power of our military that allowed the US imperialists to do their best and let the aircraft carriers have the qualifications to appear, perhaps the US imperialists would have embarked on the same path of developing battle-missile cruisers as the Soviet Union.

You must know that in MacArthur's eyes, our army was only a little stronger than the national army, and the threat to the US army was limited, so he clamored to finish the war quickly and return to his hometown for Christmas. Our army also underestimated the US army, believing that the rotten imperialist army could defeat the steel gun of socialism, believing that the US imperialists were neither stronger nor stronger than the Japanese army, and that as soon as they entered Korea, they wanted to completely annihilate the first division of the US army. The final outcome is self-evident, the US imperialists hit the steel plate head-on, and the First Division, known as the trump card, suffered more than 13,000 casualties and was almost disabled. And our army also paid a huge price in the face of more than 20 times its own firepower, with more than 40,000 casualties.

Once this war was over, China's international status was formally established, and decades of peace were forged. Even the Americans have to admit that the Chinese army is no longer the weak chicken unit it used to be, but one of the strongest army forces in the world, and its strength cannot be underestimated.

After hearing Chen Xu's explanation, Chen Weiguo said in disbelief: "The Americans actually restarted the construction of the aircraft carrier because of our army, but I didn't expect that our army and this aircraft carrier still have such a causal relationship!" It's a pity that if there was no air force support from aircraft carriers, maybe we would have been able to completely annihilate the US troops on the battlefield and let the whole world realize the strength of our army. ”

"Big brother, you're wrong, it's best for us to draw with the US imperialists in that war! The war was in the service of politics and economy, and at that time the Soviet Union was the big brother of the red countries of the world, leading the Comintern. If we beat the US imperialists, it will be tantamount to stealing the limelight from the Soviet Union, and everyone will think that the Soviets are too domineering. In this way, the Communist Party, industry, and the International will fall apart, the Soviet Union will lose the strength to confront the Western world, the Chinese nation will become a serious problem for the Soviet Union, the Sino-Soviet contradiction will rise to the main contradiction, and the US-Soviet contradiction will be reduced to a secondary contradiction. Chen Xu shook his head, later generations have already made a conclusion about that war, Grandpa Mao is eloquent and roughly controls the situation on the battlefield, which not only does not let the US imperialists take advantage, but also makes the Soviets realize that the Chinese family is not easy to bully.

Chen Weiguo followed behind Chen Xu, walked into the suspension ladder of Unicom into the aircraft carrier, and sighed behind as he walked: "No wonder in the early days of the war, the Soviet Union stood behind and watched the excitement, and even refused to support us with weapons, because it was afraid that we would win the war and steal their status." I knew that we would just fight a dozen casually, and it would be enough to teach the US imperialists a lesson, and it was really not cost-effective to pay so much sacrifice to make a draw. ”

Chen Xu talked eloquently, from the history behind the aircraft carrier to the changes in the international political situation in those years: "At the beginning, the Soviets just wanted to watch China fail, and then turn the Chinese family into their vassal country, and openly proposed to build a long-wave radio station in China and establish a Sino-Soviet joint fleet, in fact, they wanted to interfere in China's internal affairs and turn China into a part of the Soviet Union's planned and economic system. Therefore, in the early days of the war, they just watched from the other side, only waiting for China to ask for help after the defeat, and then took the opportunity to meddle in the internal affairs of the country. Unexpectedly, China won one war after another, and the Soviets could not sit still, and if they did not come to their aid, their leadership in the Comintern and the International would be challenged. In the end, China and the United States signed an armistice agreement, and there was a draw, which did not challenge the position of the Soviet Union as the boss, and also allowed China to get the ticket to the United Nations Big Rogue Conference.

After Khrushchev came to power, his power was unstable, and in order to establish his position in the Communist International, he very much needed the support of the Chinese family, which was the second strong one, so there was a project to aid China that year, because the Soviet Union did not pay the price, and Grandpa Mao would not give Hebald face to him. Sure enough, after Khrushchev's power was stabilized, he immediately tore up the agreement and withdrew all experts, so my country was a supporter of Khrushchev's stable power back then, and without Grandpa Mao to speak, he Khrushchev would have been ousted from power. ”

"You kid just know a lot, there are only pure interests between countries, when the interests are aligned, it is good enough to wear a pair of pants, and if the interests are contrary, it is more ruthless than killing the father and the enemy. In the war in Korea that year, the arms that the Soviet Union provided to us all cost money, and I clearly remember that it was a foreign debt of 1.3 billion US dollars. This is the national interest, and you will be asked for money to support a single screw! Chen Weiguo remembered some things back then, and affirmed Chen Xu's thoughts just now (to be continued.) )
