Fan Wuxian was outspoken about the purpose of his visit to the United States, and Gates immediately sensitively grasped this as an opportunity to repair relations with Clinton.

Although as the richest man on the Forbes list, Gates does not need to look at anyone's face, but this time the global anti-monopoly case against Microsoft also made him soberly aware that in this era, it is not enough to just bury his head in making money, and he must also have a certain degree of voice in the political circles to protect his rights and interests from being harmed.

The most critical situation that Microsoft is currently facing is that the governments of various countries or regions, including the United States, the European Union, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, etc., have filed antitrust lawsuits against them almost simultaneously, which makes Bill Gates feel like a betrayal, but if you think about it carefully, the main problem in this matter is still in the United States.

If the U.S. government supports Bill Gates' Microsoft Corporation, then Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and other places will naturally not be able to raise the idea of targeting them, after all, these places can only be said to act according to the faces of the Americans, and there is not much consideration for making their own decisions, but the current situation is that the U.S. government has wantonly suppressed Microsoft Corporation, which makes it difficult for others to follow suit.

This time, Fan Wuxian came to Seattle to meet Bill Gates, which is obviously very beneficial to solve the current very unfavorable antitrust case, at least to break the current deadlock between Microsoft and the federal government, and let them have to admit their favors, after all, the impact of the current incident is huge, and it may trigger a nuclear war crisis.

After thinking about all this, Gates Jue. It's really nonsense to have anti-piracy and other things, as far as the performance of the mainland market is concerned, it can't be put in the eyes of these people at Microsoft headquarters, they still rely on the European and American markets, so he said to Fan Wuxian very simply, "Mr. Fan, I'll call the president now." ”

Fan Wuxian nodded and smiled, indicating that he was very satisfied.

Ding Bing and Ding Xue sisters are two people although . Drinking coffee and eating, but the alert eyes have never been out of the surroundings, pre-discovery of potential safety hazards in the surrounding environment and eliminate them, is their responsibility, although the two sisters have been trained for a long time, but also experienced actual combat drills, but as a personal bodyguard to visit abroad is the first time, so always maintain a high degree of vigilance, for fear of something suddenly.

"There's no need to be so nervous." Fan Wu Zhi see. He smiled and said, "I have a satellite here, if there is any movement on the ground, the headquarters will notify us in advance, you two better concentrate on eating, the barbecue here is good." ”

Fan Wuxian now has a total of four satellites, three of which are geosynchronous. Orbital satellites, and one that was acquired later, is a polar orbital satellite, and basically everything that happens on the entire earth is under the monitoring of these satellites.

As far as the communications satellites purchased from Hughes at that time were concerned, if most of the resources were used for ground monitoring, they could also achieve their goals, and compared with the low-orbit military satellites that were temporarily launched in peacetime, they were nothing more than standing higher and seeing farther but with worse resolution, and they were specially used to monitor a certain area, and the effect was still good.

In fact, Fan Wuxi's own kung fu is also placed there, it is estimated that the two sisters together can not beat him, but professional bodyguards also have an advantage, that is, they are full of dedication, and in order to protect the safety of the object, they can sacrifice their lives at any time.

But for Fan Wu. As far as illness is concerned, if the sisters are willing to dedicate themselves, it will be more gratifying to him than giving their lives, but it seems that this goal is difficult to achieve, and he is naturally embarrassed to make such a request in the face of the personal bodyguards sent by the high-level, who knows if the two little girls will turn against each other because of this, and directly do the protection target?

May 13 at noon, White House.

Clinton was having lunch while listening to a briefing by Bob Kerry, head of the Committee of Inquiry on the Use of Satellite Data.

According to the investigation of the committee led by Bob Kerry, the US request for information on spy satellites has limited the provision of intelligence to the White House, the State Department, and other decision-makers in the administration.

Because of the incident of the accidental bombing of the embassy caused by the error in satellite positioning, the relationship between the president and the Pentagon appeared to be a little tense, especially when Clinton did not know about it, the military blew up the Chinese embassy in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia; although it was said that the military had military considerations, the president was also furious about it, after all, as the commander-in-chief of the three armed services, he did not know in advance about such a big matter, and this is very embarrassing, especially since he is now in a very embarrassing situation.

Bob Kerry is a member of the Communist Party of China, and he and Clinton are comrades-in-arms in the trenches, so after this kind of military power grabbing incident occurred in the front, he was ordered to investigate the use of military intelligence satellites.

There is a presidential decree in the United States that stipulates that the protection of US troops overseas is the top priority of US intelligence satellites, and the committee led by Bob Kerry was asked by the president to immediately re-examine this presidential order to see if there is anything wrong or inappropriate in it.

Bob Collin, who chairs not only the House Intelligence Committee but also the National Reconnaissance Agency, which is responsible for the satellites, told Clinton, who was having dinner, that "there should be support for the fighters, but not at the expense of national users like the White House." In this case, the White House didn't receive enough satellite intelligence, which led to a rather passive situation, so this presidential decree is creating a conflict, and we need to address it. ”

Clinton's appetite was obviously a little bad, and for two days in a row, he did not answer the hotline of the Chinese leader, and the other side was obviously angry, and according to the latest intelligence, the mainland's troops were actively mobilizing, and not only the strategic reserve force on the Shandong Peninsula began to move, but also the Fujian strategic reserve force along the Taiwan Strait was also rapidly assembling.

"Due to our unfavorable status quo in the use of military satellite intelligence, we have even ignored a lot of important information!" Clinton complained to Bob Kerry, "Now we can't even figure out the specific location of the five nuclear submarines on the mainland!" ”

This incident made Clinton even more annoyed, because of the impact of the Kosovo war and the Iraq war, these million-dollar US spy satellites are under pressure to provide information to the Pentagon every day to support its deployment in Kosovo and northern Iraq. As a result, the demand for satellite information from other sectors has become an increasingly emotional challenge.

Clinton told Bob Kerry with deep dissatisfaction, "An urgent request from a deputy platoon commander in the Kosovo field for a large amount of satellite intelligence will be resolved with priority over the request made by the president in the White House." A few years ago, the Pentagon was skeptical of satellite data, but now it has fallen in love with these systems. ”

As far as the U.S. government and military are concerned, the battle for satellite intelligence is largely between Europe, the Near East, and the Persian Gulf region. For example, Air Force pilots patrol Iraq's no-fly zone and receive satellite information about the area, which makes it impossible for satellites to take care of the missile test zones of India and Pakistan, let alone monitor the Taiwan Strait.

In fact, debates have been quietly brewing over how U.S. intelligence satellites should be used for years, and three years ago, a panel of experts found that the National Reconnaissance Office was disillusioned with its strategic and tactical users, and that military commanders felt that the White House's commitment to meeting their needs was far from sufficient.

Today's presidential decree on the use of satellite resources, signed four years ago, has identified the protection of the armed forces as a top priority.

But by this time, Clinton was already revisiting the policy to determine whether it was being used appropriately and whether it should still be effective. Especially after the oolong of the embassy bombing came out this time, Clinton felt even more that the White House should stick to its principles on this issue, and absolutely not let the Pentagon do whatever it wants.

Bob Kerry took a sip of milk tea and then explained to Clinton, "It's mostly due to the underfunding that the Pentagon cut four years ago for the space systems and sensors they procured to support tactical commanders, and replaced it with an increase in the budget of the National Reconnaissance Bureau to cover that investment." It is precisely because of the lack of funding that the White House today does not have access to sufficient satellite intelligence resources, so my committee recommends that the Department of Defense should invest more money in this area to solve this problem once and for all. ”

Under the current system, the departments responsible for managing intelligence gathered by the National Reconnaissance Agency's spy satellites are two agencies under the Pentagon, not the intelligence department management system of CIA Director George Tenet. The National Security Agency is responsible for assigning tasks to signals intelligence, and the Defense Mapping Agency is responsible for processing satellite photography and other imagery techniques.

Previously, a deputy director of the C.I.A. tried to coordinate the assignment of intelligence-gathering tasks, but Bob Colin argued that it was up to Defense Secretary Cohen and Tenet to resolve the existing contentious issues.

"It's a real headache, and I have to call Beijing, I really don't know why they are so calm? Is there really a plan for a large-scale conflict? Clinton rubbed the corners of his forehead and said to Bob Kerry very upset, "Those damn officers in the Pentagon, they don't know how to save their minds?" ”

Bob Kerry shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Mr. President, the biggest problem is with the arms dealers, who can do anything to keep the information on weapons and equipment from leaking. ”

The F-117 stealth fighter is a single-seat subsonic stealth fighter developed by Lockheed Corporation of the United States, which is mainly used to carry laser-guided bombs to carry out precision attacks on ground targets. Since 1978, when the US Government approved the F-117A development program, the US Air Force has ordered a total of 59 F-117A planes, which were delivered in 1990.

The development, production, and equipment of the F-117 stealth fighter has always been a mystery in the past, and it was not until November last year that the United States admitted to the outside world that there was indeed such a stealth fighter, and its number was F-117A, and before that, the outside world had always believed that the number of this aircraft was F-19.

The F-117A was first put into service during the invasion of Panama, and in the Gulf War, forty-four more F-117As entered the battle. The air raid sirens were sounded in Baghdad 45 minutes after the F-117A used its stealth capabilities to sneak into the air and drop bombs on communications buildings in the center of Baghdad, the capital of Iraq.

During the war, more than ninety-five percent of the targets in the heavily fortified city of Baghdad were attacked by F-117s at night, without losing a single aircraft in the line of duty. Due to the excellent performance of the F-117 in the Gulf War, the value of the stealth aircraft has increased significantly.

Lockheed. Martin is the world's largest defense industry contractor in terms of turnover, with more than 95 percent of its turnover coming from the U.S. Department of Defense, other U.S. federal agencies, and foreign parties. The company's current core business is aviation, electronics, information technology, aerospace systems and missiles, the main products include all US Navy submarine-launched ballistic missiles, theater high-altitude area air defense systems, communication satellite systems, F-16, F-22 and F-35 fighters, U-2 spy reconnaissance aircraft, SR-71 Blackbird strategic reconnaissance aircraft, C-5 series "Galaxy" large military transport aircraft and shore-based anti-submarine aircraft P-3 series, C-130 series military transport aircraft, military electronic systems, flight training auxiliary equipment, Fire control systems and air traffic control equipment account for one-third of the US Department of Defense's annual procurement budget, control 40 percent of the world's defense market, and cover almost all the production and launch of US military satellites, making it a world-class arms giant.

Lockheed. Martin's secret "Skunk Works" was built in 1943 and is hidden in a plain in Burbank. With the help of the Disney company, disguised as a residential area.

Although everyone knows about Lockheed. Martin is the largest arms dealer, but few people know that Lockheed. Martin writes more software code each year than Microsoft.

To this end, Microsoft and Lo. The company has also established secret strategic partnerships to collaborate on a number of U.S. government defense programs, such as the U.S. Navy's next-generation nuclear-powered aircraft carrier software and the Department of Defense information security system, to help the U.S. Air Force upgrade the technology of one of its large space command and control centers in North America, and to jointly develop a lucrative market for technical services for federal government agencies.

For such a behemoth, even if it is a president such as Clinton, it is helpless, this time the black cauldron of bombing the embassy, obviously he does not want to carry it and has to carry it hard, otherwise, it is difficult to guarantee that he will become Kennedy's second.

There are no pop-ups
