On the other side of the globe, the office of the president in Washington.

Seeing the latest information from the CIA, US President Amy O'Reler looked very unpleasant, and he glanced at security adviser Brant Kata, as well as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the three services, Sham Grant, and Defense Secretary Carter Karen.

"Well, gentlemen, the Chinese have begun to vigorously develop the oil and gas resources of the East and South China Seas, according to the figures they are now promoting, 200 million tons of offshore oil production capacity will be built within a year, according to CIA intelligence materials, now the Chinese's shipyards are running almost at full capacity, either building warships, or building deep-water semi-submersible drilling platforms at sea." Olaire said.

"Our energy offensive looks like it's going bankrupt, and not only that, but this $500 billion mega project looks like it's going to keep Red China growing, and the Europeans are also reaping a lot of money on this mega-project, with a lot of contracts for construction and exploration, while we can only sit idly by and watch this feast."

"Has anyone told me what to do now?" Olel concluded.

"Amy," Brant Kata, the main planner of the energy offensive, said stubbornly, although he was a little embarrassed, "it is too early to assert that the energy offensive has failed, and now the Chinese's project has just begun, and they still have many difficulties to overcome before they can succeed." ”

Although Kata did not take into account the completely unexpected reaction of the Chinese side, it is clear that it has studied this reaction after receiving the news. "Neither the Japanese, nor the Filipinos and Vietnamese around the South China Sea will accept this outcome willingly, and after the transfer of our troops is completed, we can find an excuse at any time to interrupt the construction steps of the Chinese and make their huge investment useless."

In Kata's mind, it is still wishful thinking of military intervention. After all, the US military has dominated the world for nearly 100 years, and one or two defeats in World War II are nothing at all in the minds of the vast majority of Americans, and neither the Vietnam War nor the Korean War has dampened the enthusiasm and determination of the US military to continue to serve as the world's policeman.

Moreover, although the Diaoyutai naval and air battle failed, the damage to the strength of the US military was minimal, and the shock of the government and the opposition was more due to the fact that the military had mishandled the situation. However, in the minds of most US authorities, they do not realize that the current US military superiority has been shaken by the PLA, and European public opinion is nothing more than grandstanding and slapping the Chinese in the eyes of Americans.

In the minds of the vast majority of American authorities, the Chinese have changed the current world pattern, and even the most pessimistic American politicians now admit that there is such a trend, but before, the position of Americans was still unbreakable for at least two or three decades.

The status of the United States, the world's largest power, was also established by the Americans after more than 100 years and countless wars and sacrifices. And if we calculate that China's development from the early 80s of the last century to the present development time is only about 40 years, even from the founding of the People's Republic of China, it is only 70 years, if China can catch up with the United States in 100 years, this development speed is enough to be proud of world history.

Therefore, although some American politicians are full of a sense of distress and see a trend in the future, they do not think that China can be compared with the United States now.

Militarily, the US military now has more than 10 aircraft carrier formations roaming around the world, and there are more than 1,000 fourth-generation fighters; although the PLA had the upper hand in the battle at home in the Diaoyutai War, it also shows that the third-generation fighters are very seriously dependent on the radar systems of ground and air early warning aircraft in the battle with the fourth-generation fighters, and if they leave this environment, they will be in a state of passive attack just as the Taiwan Air Force will be in a state of passive attack in the face of the situation when it is faced with the advantages of the F-35 fighters.

"Yes, Amy, we have nothing to worry about, as long as we seize the opportunity to teach the Chinese a profound lesson and let them understand that the rules of this world are still made by us in the United States." They will return to the right track of world domination by us Americans, and we are massing our forces in the Western Pacific theater to drag them down like the former Soviet Union. Karen continued Kata's words.

"What is the military going to do?" Olaire asked. "We can't afford to fail any longer. If this attempt fails, our allies should doubt our ability to protect them. ”

"We will change the way we shoot this time, the main battlefield will be on the vast South China Sea, on this ocean far from Chinese mainland, the Chinese air force whip is beyond the reach, their terrifying drones have no chance to play at all, our navy only needs to pay attention to the threat of Chinese submarines from the bottom of the sea, of course, more often we don't have to shoot at all, but support and support the countries of the South China Sea militarily and politically, so that they can continue to make trouble for the Chinese, We don't expect them to deal much of a blow to the Chinese's military power, as long as they can keep the Chinese' offshore oil field construction from being completed on schedule. Kata said this is a common American tactic, just like Israel's role in the Middle East and the Gulf.

"Is the military sure?" Olaire asked a little unconfidently, he did not have a good impression of the South China Sea countries, although in Vietnam, the US military also suffered a lot of losses, but the US military did not think that it was because of the Vietnamese, but the former Soviet Union and the Chinese obstruction, "If we support the South China Sea countries, do they really dare to challenge the authority of the Chinese and interrupt the Chinese construction process in the South China Sea?" ”

"Don't worry, Your Excellency the President, it's not just us and the countries that have oil interests in the South China Sea, Europeans and polar bears have also invested a lot there, and politically we don't have to worry about finding allies; Militarily, we only need to provide some military weapons for the monkeys around the South China Sea, and maybe the ships and warplanes we have eliminated can be sold for a good price. Karen said with a smile, "Under such a huge threat from the Chinese, we can sell these second-hand goods at a low price to support them." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, we will further strengthen the air force in Singapore and the Philippines, raising the number of F-22 fighters in the South China Sea to three squadrons and adding two new F-15E squadrons, which are almost indestructible in the skies over the South China Sea." Admiral Grant confidently said, "The U.S. military is still the most powerful force in the world, and I think we will soon have a chance to prove it to the world." ”
