Chapter 644: The Finale
Pentagon.
"President, this is the latest photo that the Prowler just sent back."
McNamara said to Kennedy with a solemn face, and in front of them was a pile of unfolded photographs, which were sent back at the last minute before the impact of the Prowler 9 unmanned probe on the moon, and this was the last ship in the Prowler series, and the results would decide whether to start the construction of the Apollo spacecraft.
In fact, at this time, the domestic reaction to the terrifying Apollo program was also very complicated, after all, they were no longer what they used to be, and a series of arms races dragged on the United States to exhaustion. Nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, nuclear-powered cruisers, and the successful test flight of Valkyrie bombers, F108 light saber fighters, as well as a new generation of strategic nuclear submarines, a new generation of land-based and submarine-launched ballistic missiles, and the development and manufacture of all kinds of new weapons have almost exhausted the financial resources of the United States. Moreover, the war in South America has intensified, not only the situation in Guatemala has been eroded, but even the southern part of Mexico has begun to have turmoil, in order to avoid the point of being out of control, the US military has begun to participate in the war in Guatemala.
The war in these places has caused losses to the United States not only some military spending, but the economy of the entire country, because the economy of the United States is based on the economic colonization of Central and South America, the war in Guatemala has caused heavy losses to the United Fruit Company, almost all the plantations there have been destroyed, and even many employees have been killed, and the turmoil in southern Mexico has also made the major oil fields controlled by the capital of the United States critical, and the guerrillas frequently attack these oil field facilities. Even the oil fields in Veracruz in central China have been bombed.
In this case, the United States has no choice, if they are fighting in Annam to seize the sphere of influence, then in South America they are defending their backyard.
The huge consumption inside and outside has overwhelmed the finances of the United States, and in this case, anyone who is level-headed does not want to engage in any more moon landing programs purely to show national strength, but what is now in front of Kennedy makes him hesitate, these photos have different angles, but there is one thing in common in the picture, a black flash of metal, even if it is not clear enough, he can see that this is a giant spaceship.
"How big is this thing?"
He asked McNamara with a frown.
"According to estimates, it must be at least three kilometers long."
The latter said.
"Take it, let's go to Congress!"
Kennedy said.
And at this very moment, far away on the moon.
An astronaut in a spacesuit is slowly walking down the ladder, holding a Ming flag in his hand and shaking it at the camera, when he stepped on the ground, he said in a very excited voice: "This is my small step, this is a big leap for mankind!" ”
After saying that, he stepped on the land of the moon and walked forward lightly.
Of course, this is in the shot.
And the person holding the camera doesn't need any spacesuit, two beautiful robots are busy, one of them holding a camera to film Yang Yuan Shou walking......
Well, that astronaut was played by Yang Yuanfeng himself, because of the shooting angle, it is difficult for people to see the astronaut's face clearly, so it doesn't matter if he plays it, and how can he miss such a good thing? According to the setting, the camera held by a robotic arm stretched out by the lunar module was motionless in the hands of the beautiful robot, quietly filming the picture of Yang Yuan walking on the moon and pretending to be forced, and soon another astronaut played by the beautiful robot also walked out of the lunar module, referring to the video script of the moon landing of the United States people back then.
And next to them is the issue that is being discussed in the form of a secret meeting in the Congress of the United States.
The Voyager spacecraft.
When Yang Feng finally ended filming and returned to Earth, the United States Congress finally made a difficult decision to march to the moon!
However, it was too late for them at this time, just when the government of the United States began to build the Apollo 1 spacecraft, the Chang'e-8 spacecraft of the Ming Dynasty was also ready to go at the launch site, and with the launch button pressed by Yang Yuan Yuan himself, the Kuafu rocket carrying the Chang'e-8 spacecraft shot flames into space. Immediately after that, the spacecraft carried the lunar module and three astronauts to the distant moon, and at this time, tens of millions of Ming people on the ground all looked up to the sky and blessed their epoch-making journey, because they were going to land on the moon and return.
Of course, this is what the common people know.
In fact, the three astronauts on the spacecraft are very clear about their mission, they are just going to go around in circles, there is no landing in the Chang'e plan at all, everything is just a scam, a scam that costs billions of dragon dollars, and the purpose is to let Daming's competitors spend tens of billions of dragon dollars to catch up behind.
"This play is so spectacular!"
An astronaut on Chang'e-8, whose eyebrows and eyes were quite similar to those of the Führer, couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the earth behind him that was getting farther and farther away.
Three days later, they arrived at the moon and released the landing module to the moon, and then began to fly in lunar orbit according to the script written by the Führer himself, and at the same time, the control center on the ground began to broadcast the lunar landing process according to the same procedure, but the moon landing process made on video tape, and it was broadcast live to the whole world, and billions of people stared at the TV screen, watching how the astronauts from 300,000 kilometers away set foot on the closest planet to mankind. At this moment, everyone was cheering for this great miracle created by Daming.
During this period, Yang even personally talked to the astronauts.
The astronauts were on the moon for several hours, during which countless people accompanied them on Earth until they returned to the lunar module, launched the upgrade and docked the spacecraft in orbit and returned to Earth.
As for the process of their return to Earth, it goes without saying.
In the following ten years, the Ming Dynasty carried out a total of six moon landings, the last two of which were true, and under their drive, the United States and the Soviet Union have invested heavily in crazy catch-up, of which the United States finally sent astronauts to the moon in six or eight years, but it was not until the third moon landing in 72 years that a precious metal fragment was brought back from the moon. According to the information obtained by the Ming Jinyiwei, this piece of debris is made of a material that the earth does not have, in order to be able to get more secrets about the moon, the moon landing of the United States lasted until eighty-five years, and it was really impossible to continue to bear it before it ended, and their final harvest was about twenty pieces of metal fragments.
The Soviets, because of the disparity in technological strength, did not go to the moon for the first time until the 80s, and they seemed to have obtained something more valuable, and after that, their moon landing program persisted until the disintegration.
Because of the continuous decline of the United States, the economic strength of the Ming Dynasty finally surpassed that of the United States in the nineties, as for the military power is also high, but it is still not superb, and the actual world is still unsurpassed.
No matter how weakened the country is, its huge strength can still maintain its control over the Americas.
Although the Soviet Union no longer exists, its strong foundation still ensures that Russia is one of the world's great powers, and because of the erosion of the United States, they still control the three Baltic states, Belarus and Ukraine.
The old countries of Western Europe eventually became truly integrated into the European Union, Poland to the Balkans became their buffer zone with Russia, East and West Germany finally merged, but Yugoslavia did not disintegrate, and the European Union controlled northern Africa.
As for southern Africa, it is under the control of South Africa, but this South Africa is not the original historical South Africa, but a Chinese and white almost half of the country, including Southern Rhodesia, Mozambique, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, including the Federation of South Africa, in this federation has always continued the notorious segregation, to put it bluntly, it is a country where Chinese and white people are the masters, and black uncles are coolies.
The Ming Dynasty's sphere of influence includes Southeast Asia, South Asia, West Asia and the Arabian Peninsula, and Russia retains Central Asia as a buffer zone, and the European Union retains Tuji and the Balkans as a buffer zone.
As for Xinhua......
In fact, the Ming Dynasty completely replaced the role of the rice and the Japanese in Xinhua in the original history.
All the computers in Xinhua are all chips made in Daming, operating systems produced in Daming, and the vast majority of the cars running on Xinhua Street are branded by Daming or Yang Yuanshou Company, or saved by using Daming accessories, and all the planes flying in the sky of Xinhua are Airbus, Kunpeng and other companies, and even Xinhua's high-speed rail is also supported by Daming technology. Daming Imperial Bank and other major banks, including the three barrels of oil and major state-owned banks, the vast majority of Xinhua's listed core enterprises hold huge shares, and the resources on which Xinhua's economy depends are also in the hands of Daming Capital. For example, almost the vast majority of their iron ore is purchased from the Daming consortium, and Imperial Oil is also Xinhua's largest external crude oil supplier, and even Xinhua has to find Yang Feng to import uranium ore every year.
Similarly, Daming is also the most important export object of Xinhua, the vast majority of Xinhua export enterprises are in the Ming Dynasty enterprises to do OEM to earn dragon yuan, even the best ingredients and the best clothing are exported to Daming first.
However, there is a little difference, some people in Xinhua dare not run to Daming.
Yang will leave the money and send it back.
As for the longest-lived ducai of the twentieth century, Yang Yuanfu lived to be more than 120 years old, and almost all of his contemporaries died before they died, while the strange political system of the Ming Dynasty continued.
Well, the book is over. (To be continued.) )
