Chapter 610: Coup and Response
"The authority of an award comes from public recognition, and even if Penglai Island has become a global center of high-tech research, it is not easy to give birth to a world-class science prize, especially since it has the enemy of the Nobel Prize. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
No matter what Lu Yang thinks about the outside world, as long as he makes up his mind, he will try his best to do one thing well.
"Dean Zhao, the matter of selection will be handed over to you, there is still plenty of time, before August next year, we must come up with a more authoritative list of winners than the Nobel Prize!" Lu Yang said to Zhao Gaozhuo, president of Penglai Academy of Sciences.
Zhao Gaozhuo's face turned bitter: "Boss, I really can't guarantee this." Although our nominations are much more open than those of the Nobel Prize, and we also allow Mao Sui to nominate himself, whether or not we can have authoritative scientific and technological achievements participate is not under our control. And we still have a race for the Nobel Prize, and it seems to me that if there were two prizes, most people would probably choose the Nobel Prize. ”
Although what Zhao Gaozhuo said was not good, Lu Yang knew that it was true.
"In terms of scientific and technological breakthroughs, Penglai Island has many world-class scientific research achievements, which can be included in the scope of selection." Lu Yang Road.
"But if they are all awarded to our own people, will it affect the credibility of the Penglai Science Award?" Zhao Gaozhuo was skeptical.
Lu Yang said: "There is no need to worry about this. The credibility of an award lies not in who it is given to, but in the technical achievements it recognizes. As long as the award-winning technology can stand the test, the public will recognize the Penglai Science and Technology Award sooner or later. ”
After making a simple arrangement, Lu Yang handed over the matter of the science prize to Zhao Gaozhuo, and he now has more important things to do.
In early October, Feng Hai quietly returned to Penglai Island from the forward military base, where Feng Hai met with the chief of the general staff of the Venezuelan army, Aureliano.
"Hello, General Feng." Aureliano saluted Feng Hai with a stern face, and Feng Hai returned the salute in confusion.
"Let's sit down and talk." Lu Yang beckoned them to sit down, there were only four people in the entire conference room, and the remaining one was an interpreter.
"Boss, what the hell is going on? Why is the Chief of General Staff of Venezuela on Penglai Island? Even Feng Hai, who has always been calm, couldn't hold back his doubts at this time.
Lu Yang looked at Aureliano, and the other party nodded.
"You know that President Alfredo of Venezuela will visit Penglai Island in two weeks' time, right?" Lu Yang Road.
Feng Hai nodded.
"In fact, we have found out that before President Alfredo departed, the United States was preparing to instigate a military coup in Venezuela, and the Gru supported by them overthrew the Alfredo government and established a pro-American government." Lu Yang said.
Feng Hai was shocked, he looked at Aureliano, the other party already knew Lu Yang's speech from the translator, he nodded at Feng Hai, indicating that what Lu Yang said was true.
"Boss, are we here to help Venezuela?" Feng Hai slowly regained his composure.
"Yes, I have spoken with President Alfredo, and the two sides have reached an agreement on cooperation, and Venezuela will sell Blanquilla Island to us in exchange for Huaxia to forgive Venezuela's debts, and at the same time we will protect the current Venezuelan government from being overthrown in this coup." Lu Yang crossed his legs and said, his tone was very relaxed.
"It's not that difficult." Feng Hai thought for a moment and said.
"Well, although Gru is the commander-in-chief of the Venezuelan army, the power he holds is not strong, and it is difficult for his coup to succeed without the cover and intervention of the United States. But as far as we know, the fleet of the Mi people has sailed to the South Caribbean, probably in response to this coup. Lu Yang introduced.
Feng Hai's face was a little solemn: "Do the people of the United States want to shoot directly?" ”
"No, they shouldn't." Lu Yang shook his head and turned to Aureliano next to him, "I discussed with the Chief of General Staff of Aureliano, the possibility of direct intervention by the United States is very small, and Venezuela is not Grenada. So, our opponents are mainly Gru and his followers. ”
"Yes, after receiving Mr. Lu's information, President Alfredo has secretly made arrangements, but for the sake of secrecy, he cannot mobilize more forces. That's why the President has entrusted me with asking you for help. Aureliano added.
"President Alfredo is deeply loved by the people in our country, and if Gru wants a coup d'état, he will inevitably concentrate his forces on attacking the presidential palace and killing or capturing the president, as long as we can hold the presidential palace, other forces loyal to the president will quickly organize a rescue and thus crush Gru's plot!" Aureliano gave a brief overview of the Venezuelan plan.
"It's not difficult." Feng Hai said without hesitation, "Boss, are we going to play out of the Athletic A team?" ”
"Of course, there's no better place to do this than a mech team."
"That's great!" Aureliano heard the conversation between the two, and was overjoyed, the strength of the mecha team on Penglai Island is obvious to all, with their help, not to mention Gru, even if it is the people of the United States, Venezuela is not afraid.
"However, we have to prevent the Chinese people from jumping off the wall in a hurry!" Lu Yang opened the map, "Their fleet is too close to Caracas, and if a missile attack is launched, it will be difficult for even the mecha team to ensure the safety of the presidential palace." So, I intend to send a fleet to South America. ”
The three of them discussed for an hour and a half and made a rough plan. To refine these details, more people need to be involved.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Lu!" Before leaving, Aureliano held Lu Yang's hand and said, "The Huaxia people are our true friends, only you are willing to lend a hand at this time, and we will remember this!" ”
"Boss, isn't it a bit risky for us to clash with the people of the United States for Venezuela?" After he left, Feng Hai asked Lu Yang in a low voice. As the person in charge of the military on Penglai Island, Feng Hai's last dislike is taking risks.
"It's a little bit, but it's worth it." Lu Yang said, "This time you led a team to Venezuela, in addition to helping them solve the problem of the coup d'état, and by the way, to take over Blanquilla Island." Within two years, I intend to expand Blanquilla Island to 200 square kilometers and build our first naval base in the Atlantic. ”
Feng Hai's eyes were much more solemn, and he knew that this time Lu Yang would definitely stir up the nerves of the people of the United States.
"The Caribbean Sea is the backyard of the Chinese people, and it is not easy to build a naval base there, and the Guardian-class destroyer alone is definitely not enough!" Feng Haidao.
"Send 5 Guardian-class destroyers first, and by the end of this year, we will have 3 Kingsguard-class destroyers and 1 nuclear submarine in service, and I will send them to Blanquilla Island. After the aircraft carrier is commissioned, Blanquilla Island will be stationed in an aircraft carrier formation, so that the people of the United States can feel our 'sincerity'! ”
"Looks like we're going to have a big fight in the Caribbean!" When Feng Hai heard this, he couldn't help but get excited in his heart, as the commander of the military forces on Penglai Island, he had to stay calm at all times, but in essence, Feng Hai was still a soldier, and he had a desire for war in his heart.
President Alfredo's visit to Penglai Island, an international event in October, has led to speculation that he is likely to reach an agreement with Penglai Island on the issue of Blanquilla Island, and then bring China's military power into the Atlantic, which the Western world does not want to see.
The people of the United States suffered losses on the Internet, but they did not publicize it. Pangu inflicted more than $30 billion in losses to the people of the United States in the counterattack, but they endured it. First, this cyber attack was first launched by the people of the United States, and they did not take advantage of it, and second, the scientists of the United States are happily studying the information stolen by Gaia from Penglai Island, which is believed to be worth at least 300 billion US dollars!
In the eyes of the people of the United States, they did not suffer a loss this time, but made a profit.
Of course, the research on artificial intelligence has not hindered other actions of the United States. Since last month, Secretary of State Kleber has repeatedly warned Venezuela, claiming that the US government absolutely cannot accept any factor that affects peace in the Caribbean, and the implication is to prevent them from trading with China on Blanquilla Island.
Alfredo gave a clear refusal to this, and his attitude angered the people of the United States, and the Congress of the United States began to discuss sanctions against Venezuela. After that, the fleet of the United States frequently appeared in the north of Venezuela, and the threat was self-evident.
Economic sanctions and military threats did not hinder Alfredo's visit, especially after he learned from Penglai that the Americans were plotting a military coup in Venezuela, and Alfredo's determination to move closer to China was even stronger. He quietly sent his henchman Aureliano to Penglai Island and authorized him to sign a series of agreements with Lu Yang, indicating his attitude to Lu Yang.
If it weren't for that, how could Lu Yang fully support him?
On the evening of October 2, a Kunpeng passenger plane took off from Jinlong Airport, and on board was a mecha team led by Venezuela's chief of general staff, Aureliano and Feng Hai. After a 13-hour flight, the plane landed at an airbase near Caracas, exactly two weeks after Alfredo's visit to Penglai Island.
Caracas, Durant and Venezuela's army commander-in-chief discuss the details of the coup.
"I have only the strength of two divisions." "Once the plan to attack the presidential palace is thwarted, I will be surrounded by forces loyal to Alfredo, and I will not even have a chance to escape!" I need more support! ”
Durant was dissatisfied: "General Gru, the United States has provided you with $500 million in funds and two divisions of equipment, do you want the United States Army to directly participate in the war?" ”
Gru said slyly, "If I could, I wouldn't refuse." But from a friend's point of view, I wouldn't mention such a difficult condition. In contrast, the provision of dollars and military equipment is more appropriate for the powerful country of Mi. (To be continued.) )
