(Second Update)

After hearing the remarks of his old opponent Saddam, poor Bush Sr. was not lightly angry, especially his statement that he was not even afraid of the Americans using nuclear weapons, and he was even more angry that Bush Sr. had a stroke, but fortunately, as one of the largest political families in the United States, Bush Sr. could enjoy the best medical care in the United States, and with the help of doctors, the situation did not worsen, according to the doctor's optimistic estimate, it would be possible to return to normal after about three months, after all, Bush Sr. was old, 80 years old, The body is not as good as before, and the stroke of being angry is not a great thing, not to mention that the elder Bush originally had Parkinson's disease, and this time it was just overstimulated.

But in any case, the fact that poor Bush was angry with his old rival and went to the hospital is an indisputable fact, and the number one political family in the United States can be described as a shame and a big deal at this time.

However, the stroke that Bush Sr. was angry with was not the most serious situation, and after hearing the meaning of Saddam's words as a "damned, evil madman," who seemed not to be afraid of the US nuclear threat, and was even very likely to have some kind of countermeasures, the Americans began to panic: If Saddam really had the means to counter the US nuclear threat...... how should this war continue?

At this point in the Iraq war, conventional wars cannot be won, nuclear threats have no way to work, and Uncle Sam is a real tiger eating a turtle -- there is no way to start it.

And the most serious consequence of this is that the great victory of the Iraqi Republican Guard's counteroffensive has greatly encouraged Uncle Ben, who is fighting guerrilla warfare with American GIs in the mountains of Afghanistan, and Will has provided timely help to Uncle Ben. However, it also brought a lot of casualties and property and material losses to the US troops stationed in Afghanistan.

This is the largest loss caused by al-Qaeda to the US-German coalition forces in the past three years, and for a time, the US-Russian soldiers stationed in Afghanistan had to go to the toilet with two people, lest they be attacked by the damned base fighters.

Uncle Ben's victory also had another side effect: the tribal elders and bigwigs who had previously taken refuge in the Americans were now in a state of panic, lest the soldiers from the base come to settle accounts with them...... These elders and bigwigs understood that at all times, traitors were always more hateful than the enemy, and that they were traitors in their eyes compared to the soldiers at the base, and in their eyes, their own traitors who had defected to the Americans were no longer just enemies.

With the technical support of the Alice Group, the renovation and maintenance of the Varyag at the Dalian shipyard became extremely smooth.

Thanks to the comprehensive and complete technical guidance of the Alice Group, the entire Varyag has now been completed for more than 80 years, and it will take up to half a month to complete the entire interior repair work.

The lighting and ventilation system received from the outside makes the entire interior of the Varyag not only brightly lit, but also does not make people feel the slightest oppression and dullness, but the creaking sound of the old elevators used on warships in the former Soviet Union always makes people worry about whether the elevators on the Varyag can withstand this kind of high-intensity use...... Even Zhang Lan herself knew that she was worrying about the sky.

Yes, that's right, at this moment, Zhang Lan is inside the Varyag, which is in the midst of internal repair projects, to be precise, in the command tower of the ship island, accompanied by Zhang Lan, it is Xiao Chenxi.

Looking at the surrounding environment, Zhang Lan smacked her lips, and seemed to have some regret, "If only the Minsk and Kiev had not been transformed into maritime theme parks, we could transform them into two large through-deck ocean-going amphibious warships...... Forget that the Minsk is no longer good, when it was pulled back from South Korea, not only the power equipment and weapons systems on the ship have been dismantled, but even the internal hull structure has been destroyed by sticks, and it can only be used as scrap metal. ”…,

Yes, if only the weapon system and power system are dismantled, and Minsk can still retain a basically intact hull, this storm-beaten former Soviet aircraft carrier still has the value of being reused, but if even the hull has been destroyed, although the ship can still float on the sea, it has completely lost the value of combat use, and can only be treated as scrap metal, or changed into a marine theme park for tourists to visit.

"How?" Xiao Chenxi smiled, "So soon you started thinking about your large amphibious landing ship?" ”

"Yes," Zhang Lan nodded, a little regretful, "I didn't expect it at the time, if I thought of it at the time, I could have turned back a few more scrap iron aircraft carriers from Lao Maozi." ”

"Forget it, it's not enough for people to be harmed by you," listening to Zhang Lan talk about the past, Xiao Chenxi's laughter trembled, "I've heard that someone is still unpopular in Russia now, and now there is still such a sentence in Russian political circles: fire prevention, anti-theft and anti-Zhang Lan." ”

"Who slandered me like that?" Zhang Lan was suddenly "furious"

"Who made our Young Master Zhang so angry?" At this moment, a voice with a smile came into Zhang Lan's ears.

"Isn't it? A lot of words" Zhang Lan's face was surprised, and she turned her head in disbelief and looked at her old acquaintance, "I said, this world is not so small, how can I meet you wherever I go?" ”

Although it was a mocking tone, anyone could hear the happy tone when he met an old friend. That's right, the person standing behind Zhang Lan at this moment is none other than Zhang Lan's old acquaintance, General Su, the commander of the North Sea Fleet.

"Alas," General Su pretended to sigh, with an expression that you don't want to see me, in fact, I don't want to see you, "If it weren't for the leaders' orders, you would have wanted to come to see you." ”

"You're here to see me?" Zhang Lan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly came to her senses, "You mean ......?"

"That's right," before Zhang Lan finished speaking, General Su had already nodded with a smile, "The leaders mean that I will be in charge of the entire refit of this warship...... Alas, miserable, this is a debasement."

said so, but the excitement on this guy's face can be seen even by a fool.

Also, isn't it obvious enough that the commander-in-chief of the North Sea Fleet, one of the three major fleets of the Republic, is here to guard the country? General Su's future is already full of dazzling gold.

"That's really...... Congratulations. Zhang Lan stepped forward with a smile and patted General Su's general uniform vigorously, "I'm just waiting to see your heroic posture galloping across the ocean with this guy." ”

"Yes," General Su smiled almost from ear to ear when Zhang Lan said this, "but whether I can have a day depends on what you mean?" ”

"See what I mean?" Zhang Lan glanced at General Su a little confused, with a puzzled look in his eyes: "What do you mean?" How do you say that? ”

This time, Zhang Lan is not here to play, but to discuss problems with the engineers.

On the Varyag, the 12 SS-N-19 "Granite" supersonic anti-ship missiles were originally equipped with the most powerful and space-consuming weapons, and these 12 SS-N-19 "Granite" supersonic anti-ship missiles not only brought a huge threat to the US aircraft carrier battle group, but also greatly occupied the internal space of the Varyag...... The 12 SS-N-19 "Granite" supersonic anti-ship missiles need to occupy a total area of more than 3,000 square meters, and the occupied area of this space is extremely amazing even for an aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of more than 67,000 tons, and the area of 3,000 square meters is equivalent to a huge hangar, and it is unceremoniously said that after dismantling this part of the space, the Varyag will be able to carry at least 20 more fighters.

Although the Varyag was not loaded with these 12 SS-N-19 "Granite" supersonic anti-ship missiles when it was pulled back to the Republic, how this part of the space will be used is still a question that needs to be carefully calculated...... It would be a waste to use it as a hangar.

On this visit, Zhang Lan and the engineers discussed how to maximize the efficiency of such a huge area after not equipping the 12 SS-N-19 "Granite" supersonic anti-ship missiles. But now listening to General Su's meaning, it seems that there is another hidden meaning in this?

"Your Alice Group's attainments in large-scale power systems and radar systems, the leaders have said, but they are unique in the world," General Su spread his hands and had an expression of "I'll eat you", "Since you have good things there, then you can't let my brother and me be too shabby here, right?" A lot of words let Lao Mei see it, and when the time comes, she will laugh at my brother. ”

Zhang Lan smacked this guy with a dead face: Sure enough, it was a weasel who gave the chicken a New Year's greeting - I didn't have a good heart, I said that this guy couldn't have appeared here for no reason, and now I finally understand what the old men above are thinking, and I feel that these old men are eyeing the nuclear power system and radar system of their buddies.

However, Zhang Lan was very happy.

Really, because of the sudden appearance of the inexplicable "Third Reich", the bigwigs finally stopped the infighting for the time being, and began to love you very much and spend all their experience on dealing with foreign enemies, which made Zhang Lan very pleased......
