Chapter 181: The Chinese Dilemma
Mu Chen couldn't stand the lame performance of a group of old foxes in front of him, and was ready to come out to breathe.
Finding a random place to sit next to the training ground of the base and watching those fighters train from a distance is much more interesting than intriguing with the old fox in the conference room.
Mu Chen is wearing the uniform of a unified space pilot of the Earth Federation, which is extremely conspicuous in the base, you must know that there are not many people in the entire Huaxia country who can become official space pilots, each of them is a superstar-level figure, not only ordinary citizens compete to discuss, but even the soldiers in the barracks will discuss it in private.
The soldiers on the training ground soon discovered Mu Chen, and the training naturally couldn't continue, and more than a dozen little soldiers ran over to greet Mu Chen.
"Hello sir!" The soldiers stood in a row and greeted Mu Chen with great momentum.
"You're welcome, I'm just going to walk around casually, it doesn't affect your training, right?" Mu Chen said with a smile.
"No, sir, you're the famous Grim Reaper, right?" A muscular warrior asked excitedly.
"You know me?" Mu Chen asked strangely.
"What's the matter, you're just busy with tasks and don't often return to China, as long as you walk on the street with your face, there are few people who don't know you, you don't know how many beautiful women in our hometown are crying and crying to marry you." The warrior said with admiration.
"In this way, wouldn't it be very convenient for me to find a daughter-in-law?" Mu Chen said with a smile.
happily chatted with this group of soldiers for a while, Mu Chen didn't have any frame as a space pilot, and the soldiers felt that he was very kind, and they quickly got acquainted.
A few soldiers also took out the light brain on their wrists, wanting to take a photo with Mu Chen, and they were happy like children after getting permission.
It can be seen that these people sincerely admire themselves, and Mu Chen is also very happy in his heart.
After chatting and chatting, they talked about entering the space force, Mu Chen told them about the feeling of space combat, and they also answered some questions from Mu Chen, and left satisfied.
"How? Don't be angry, right? Li Wenjing, who had been standing behind Mu Chen, saw that Mu Chen's mood was much better, so he asked out loud.
"Okay, you Li Wenjing, you seem to be honest, you actually teamed up with this group of old men to set me up, and I still treat you as a friend!" Mu Chen wanted to get angry when he saw her, and the feeling of being deceived into getting on a thief ship made him very unhappy.
"I accept your criticism, but I still have to do it when I should do it in the future......" Li Wenjing was a little ashamed when she heard Mu Chen's accusation, and said with a red face.
"I really don't understand, can't you just find a way to compete according to the procedure, as for thinking of such a way?" Mu Chen asked with a frown.
Although the commander of a battleship has the right to decide on the selection of the members of the battleship, he also has to follow a formal procedure, and in principle, the outstanding fighters of each country can compete for posts.
Every warship belongs to the management of the Earth Federation, and the Earth Federation also tries to maintain fairness and justice, and all countries and forces are basically equal in opportunities, otherwise it is difficult to maintain the credibility of this Federation.
Mu Chen didn't believe that Huaxia Kingdom had not fought for it in the Federation Council, and the reason why it had no advantage in the Federation fleet so far was just because its own strength was not enough
。
"It's not like we haven't tried, but the results are still not satisfactory." Li Wenjing said with a solemn face.
"Who's to blame? Iron striking also needs its own hardness, and if your skills are not as good as others, you will go back and continue to work hard, always thinking about taking shortcuts through the back door, it is impossible to really improve your ability. ”
"If you don't know, don't talk nonsense!" Li Wenjing suddenly shouted at Mu Chen with some excitement, her little fists clenched tightly, looking like she was going to hit someone.
"Although China has achieved an absolute leading advantage in the construction of space infrastructure such as spaceports, space elevators and alien colonies, it has always been in a backward position in the combat unit of space battleships, and other countries are not open to us at all The core technology of manufacturing space warships is not open to us, and all our technologies can only rely on independent research and development!"
"The country has attached great importance to the investment in the direction of space operations, basically every year the money earned in space infrastructure is invested in it, but the progress is still very slow, if it goes on like this, it won't be long before we don't even have the most basic combat capabilities, do you know how serious this is?" Li Wenjing said excitedly.
It was the first time Mu Chen had heard of these things, and there was no way to pay attention to it before, but now that he has a way, he doesn't have so much time.
Li Wenjing's words sounded very reasonable at first glance, that if they fall behind, they will be beaten, and if they can't build a space warship, they won't even have the courage to refuse to be beaten. But in the final analysis, it is because the domestic technology is not good, and if the core technology cannot be overcome, it will not be able to build qualified warships, and it will be impossible to train high-end talents without warships, and the inability to cultivate high-end talents will restrict the speed of technology research and development, which has almost become an unsolvable vicious circle.
It has been decades since Huaxia joined the Earth Federation, and in the past few decades, the relevant departments have tried their best to train a supreme commander of the warship, and the only Huaxia who is the deputy captain of the A-class battleship is only responsible for the space landing combat mission, and this dilemma has made Huaxia unable to raise his head in the Earth Federation.
In addition, the ability of the Chinese country to train space pilots is really limited, which makes the international consensus that the Chinese people are engaged in space infrastructure at a first-class level, and the space operations are not even third-rate.
The Huaxia Space Administration was under tremendous pressure because of this, especially the old man Li Muyu, whose hair was gray and he couldn't sleep all night.
Li Wenjing, as Li Muyu's granddaughter, saw all this in her eyes and remembered it in her heart, but she had no way to help her grandfather.
Mu Chen was a little unimpressed, firstly, he was just a space pilot, belonging to the combat department, responsible for piloting fighters and warships, and he didn't know anything about technology development and research; Second, the technology of other countries on space warships is not blown by the wind, and it is not something to figure out by itself, why can others study it, but Huaxia cannot? Besides, is it reasonable that you can't research it?
"Anyway, I can't open this hole for you, otherwise who knows what you can stuff me in, I don't want to give you children!" Mu Chen was not moved at all, and wanted to enter the service of the Dreadnought, unless you have excellent skills, you can't even think about it!
"We don't need you to open the back door, as long as you can be fair when choosing and give our fighters a chance to play fair." Li Wenjing also calmed down and said the minimum requirements of the domestic military.
She knew that Mu Chen did not have any good feelings towards some officials in the country, or all officials, and that he could get to this point completely by his own ability, and it was impossible for him to be obedient to these officials with a close attitude.
According to Li Wenjing's understanding of Mu Chen, this is a person who attaches great importance to feelings and is very careful, he remembers those who are good to him in his heart and tries his best to repay them, and he can remember those who treat him badly for a lifetime, and those who offend him are pitiful, and there is basically no good end......
For Li Wenjing's final request, Mu Chen is still acceptable, in the final analysis, Mu Chen is still a Chinese, this cannot be denied, and it is also the proper meaning to maintain a fair attitude towards his compatriots.
Just as Li Wenjing understood, Mu Chen did not have a good impression of those in power in China at all, and even held a hostile attitude.
When I couldn't afford to eat, and my whole family was about to be crushed by poverty, I never saw you help me. Now that Lao Tzu has desperately become a top space pilot, and he has grabbed an A-class battleship in the sea of swords and fire and become the captain, you guys have come to pick fruits, why? Just because your face is big?
Mu Chen clearly knows his value, the 18-year-old space pilot and the youngest captain of the A-class space battleship, just these two identities, are destined to become the target of the competition between various countries, Mu Chen closes his eyes and casually joins a force, which can greatly improve the international status of this country.
Whether there is a starship captain or not almost determines the strength of a country's national defense strength, just like nuclear weapons, the discourse power of nuclear countries and non-nuclear countries in the international arena is more than one grade behind.
China's neighbors Ribi and Goryeo, in order to win Mu Chen, the bargaining chips they opened have long become the talk of people all over the world, and they really do everything to cultivate him, as long as Mu Chen is willing to join and declare his military status to settle there, he will immediately be able to become the second only person in this country after the president.
In the face of such conditions, it is impossible for Mu Chen to say that he is not moved, but he still sticks to his bottom line and will never change his nationality.
As for where the military registration is settled, Mu Chen has not decided, and now he is still hanging with the Earth Federation peacekeeping force.
This is also a little careful thinking of him, although the countries of the world have jointly formed an Earth Federation, in the final analysis, they still have their own interests, and the swords and swords in the secret have never stopped.
Mu Chen didn't want to brand himself as any force too early, so that he could not only escape from the core of the struggle, but also enjoy the overtures of various forces to him, which was simply a fisherman's profit.
If he hadn't done this, Mu Chen would have been stumped up a long time ago, at least the space pilot's conversion would not have been so smooth, not to mention the captain of an A-class battleship, it would be good not to confiscate the battleship for you.
Mu Chen knows this well, and has always maintained an ambiguous relationship with various forces, but he has never joined any forces, and even domestic forces have kept a distance.
"You go back and tell them, let them be ready, I will try to ensure that the crew is selected fairly and justly, but I will not tolerate sand in my eyes, if I find someone fishing in troubled waters, then don't blame me for being rude." After Mu Chen finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the barracuda transport plane parked not far away, said hello to the driver, and went home.
