Damuronggu was kidnapped, and a large-scale manhunt was launched again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This time, the scale and scope were even larger, and not only the police from Tokyo and Kanagawa were dispatched, but also all parts of the country joined the search operation. Within hours, more than 200,000 policemen, more than 10,000 secret agents, and tens of thousands of officers and men of the Self-Defense Forces from three divisions and regiments were urgently dispatched to join the search and arrest operation.

There is only one purpose: to catch Liu Wei.

There is only one person who can mobilize so many manpower and make dozens of political axe departments act together and dispatch a large number of troops: Prime Minister Naoto Kanno.

The investigation report submitted by Damu Ronggu is enough to prove that it was the mainland intelligence agency that stole the F-135-800 engine.

In order to convince the President of the United States, Naoto Kanno had to be a little more thorough. It's naturally good to catch Liu Wei, even if you can't catch him, you have to do your best.

When the search began again, Naoto Kanno also met with US President Norris.

With Rickel as a foreshadowing, Naoto Kanno's meeting with Norris quickly moved on to the topic, that is, how Moto retaliated against intelligence operations on the mainland.

Mere retaliation on the intelligence front clearly does not satisfy Norris.

The reason is very simple, not to mention the intelligence agencies, the CIA is not sure to find the stolen engine, and it is impossible to prevent the mainland from mastering the core technology of US aviation power, and within a few years to develop a fourth-generation high-thrust military engine comparable to the F-135, or to imitate the F-135, and use it in the fourth-generation heavy fighter, breaking the monopoly of the United States in the fourth-generation fighter.

This impact is enough to change the global strategic balance.

In Norris's words, if the J-20 gains a powerful heart and becomes combat-ready within five years, the United States will have no choice but to replace all F-15s with F-22A and develop a completely new heavy carrier-based fighter, and to improve the F-22A as soon as possible to maintain American air superiority. To this end, the United States will invest hundreds of billions of dollars in the next decade. Such huge defense spending is beyond the capacity of the United States.

Norris's words are indeed a bit exaggerated, but they also illustrate the main problem.

That is, who will pay for the losses of the United States.

With the technical strength of the United States, there are no difficulties in developing a heavy carrier-based fighter (Loma has long proposed to develop a carrier-based fighter on the basis of the F-22A, and has proposed three different schemes), and improving the F-22A is even more trivial (in the manufacturing process, each batch of the F-22A has been improved, but the new number has not been adopted, for example, the last two batches of the F-22A used the data system developed for the F-35 and used the improved F-119 engine), The creation of more F-22As would also improve the combat capability of the U.S. Air Force as a whole (the U.S. Air Force has been seeking to acquire more F-22As, even if it does not intend to replace all F-15s in a one-to-one ratio, but also hopes to acquire more than 600 heavy fighters and develop a multirole fighter similar to the F-15E based on the F-22A), with only one problem: the United States cannot afford to invest such a huge amount of money for the time being.

Norris asked this question to Naoto Kanno to put pressure on Samoto to pay for the losses of the United States.

If he only paid for it, Naoto Kanno would definitely not agree, and he didn't have the right to do so.

It's just that for Naoto Kanno, or rather, for Samoto, it's really an opportunity.

In response to Norris's question, Naoto Kanno gave a clear answer, and he could indirectly compensate for the losses of the United States by purchasing arms.

On specific issues, Kanno offered to purchase a production license for 120 F-22A and 240 from the United States to replace all F-15 and F-4 fighters. The F-35 purchase agreement is still valid, and it is said that Ben will directly purchase 180 F-35Bs to replace all F-1 and F-2 fighter jets, and then purchase a production license, laying the foundation for the Maritime Self-Defense Force to build aircraft carriers in the future.

Counting the cost of post-maintenance, the total value of these two orders is more than 150 billion US dollars.

If we take into account inflation and the fact that US companies raise the selling price when they sell arms, it is possible that the actual amount paid may even reach $300 billion.

There is no doubt that this is a very large arms deal.

In the words of Naoto Kanno, with this income, the American political axe does not need to invest a penny, and Loma can develop a carrier-based version of the F-22A and complete the improvement work. Because the unit price of the F-22A can be greatly reduced after the expansion of the procurement scale, the US military can expand the F-22A fleet at the lowest cost, and even if the scale is expanded to 600 aircraft, the investment required is only $40 billion, which is far less than previously expected.

Of course, the benefits are definitely more than that.

After the United States eases its export ban and allows the F-22A to be exported, it is certainly not only Ben but also other countries that will buy this fighter. Although it seems that the traditional allies of the United States, that is, the European and American countries in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, are unlikely to buy the F-22A, after all, Europe and the EF2000 and the "Rafale" do not have a strong enough enemy in reality to spend a lot of money to purchase expensive F-22A, but many emerging allies, especially the Gulf countries that have become rich with oil resources, such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Oman and other countries, are very likely to follow suit and become overseas supporters of the F-22A. Expand the export scale of the F-22A.

It is conservatively estimated that the Gulf countries will buy at least 500 F-22As to replace the F-15 purchased in the 90s of the last century.

In this way, the production scale of the F-22A is very likely to reach 1,500 aircraft, so that the scientific research funds will be evenly distributed to each fighter, so that the United States and the United States can obtain rich returns and provide sufficient research and development funds for improving the F-22A or developing the next generation of fighters.

Politically speaking, the United States has also picked a big bargain.

The arms trade is not just about arms, it's about politics.

The United States has been able to become a global hegemon, and the arms trade has played an indispensable role. When selling advanced arms, the US arms companies reap money, while the US authorities gain a more solid alliance. In the long run, the political impact of the arms trade is far greater than the trade itself.

It's not that Norris doesn't understand this, it's just that he doesn't have the authority to do so.

The F-22A export ban was made by Congress, and if the president wants to sell the F-22A to the president, he must first get Congress to repeal the export ban.

What's more, a very sensitive issue is involved here: how to avoid technical leaks.

If the continental intelligence agencies can steal one engine, they may steal more. The F-22A has not only advanced engines, but also a variety of advanced technologies, including the most core advanced technology of the US military, such as the mouth-watering phased array fire control radar.

On this issue, Naoto Kanno's assurances do not make any sense.

What Norris wanted was not verbal assurances, but actual actions.

The question is back to the original point, that is, how to take revenge on the mainland, so that the mainland's intelligence agencies will no longer dare to steal military secrets.

In fact, this is a fallacy.

No matter what we do, it is impossible to put an end to intelligence security incidents. As long as there are things that the mainland wants, the mainland's intelligence agencies will not give up. This is just as if the intelligence agency is also interested in the mainland's political and economic intelligence and wants to obtain it at any cost.

Naoto Kanno understands this, so he knows that Norris just wants Samoto to take advantage of the fire for the United States.

In order to contain the mainland and strike at the mainland, what the United States has done, Naoto Kanno knows very well in his heart.

After the outbreak of the global financial crisis, many people believed that the United States was using this to strike at Russia, which had jumped the highest level in previous years. However, some people soon realized that this move of the United States was killing two birds with one stone, that is, suppressing Russia, which had made a windfall on oil, and giving the polar bears a taste of hunger and cold again, and also hitting the continent, which is highly dependent on overseas resources, and causing the rapid development of the mainland's economy to suffer a heavy blow.

A crisis has seriously wounded two of America's most feared adversaries.

It is a pity that Russia did not give in, and neither did the mainland.

Russia has the world's largest territory, the richest resources, and even behind closed doors, it is a world power that hardly needs foreign resources. Although the mainland also has a very vast territory and abundant resources, it has too many people and is in the development stage, which requires a lot of overseas resources.

Compared to Russia, the continent is more vulnerable.

After the first shock of the crisis, it took the United States two years to push for the second round of the crisis.

Compared with the first round of shock, the purpose of the United States in the second round of shock is more clear, that is, to drag down the mainland and let the mainland chaos without a fight.

In order to achieve this goal, the United States first forced the mainland to let the currency appreciate, so as to crack down on the mainland's export enterprises.

Because domestic consumption is sluggish and there is too much duplication and waste in infrastructure construction, the mainland's economy will inevitably regress in an all-round way after exports are hit.

Immediately afterward, the United States took advantage of the depreciation of the dollar to bring the global economy into a period of inflation, causing global resource prices to soar.

For the mainland's economy, this is an even heavier blow. You must know that the mainland has long surpassed the capital and has become the world's second largest oil consumer and importer after the United States, half of the oil needs to be imported, and the world's major oil resources are in the hands of the US consortium. In addition, the mainland has also bought 90% of the iron ore and 60% of the copper ore on the international market, as well as a large number of other important resources.

The rise in resource prices will inevitably affect the mainland's economy.

If oil prices rise to the level before the crisis broke out, that is, $147 a barrel, the mainland's domestic oil prices may exceed $20 per liter.

The result can be imagined.

At this point, the United States still did not stop, but at a time when almost everyone believed that Norris would lead the United States into an era of strategic contraction, it lit several fires in the Middle East, successively causing turmoil in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, Libya and Syria, and instigated France to take the lead and NATO intervene in the Libyan civil war. Prior to this, the United States had successfully promoted the referendum of the Sudanese people, making the partition of the north and the south of Sudan a foregone conclusion.

You know, these countries are the main oil importers of the mainland!

It can be said that the United States is tightening its encirclement and pushing the mainland into a blind corner step by step.

At this point, the United States needs a little brother who will come out to create trouble, plus the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

This is also the final step in tightening the encirclement.

It was also pushed to the forefront at this time.
