Chapter 675: U.S. Response Decisions
Allowing representatives of various countries to visit the production process of fifth-generation aircraft is to let them buy fifth-generation aircraft with confidence.
When a fifth-generation aircraft from zero to complete was produced in front of everyone, the tour also came to an end.
With different moods, the delegations left the production base, which was so desirable to all countries that they wanted to explore.
Satisfaction is more than a thirst for knowledge, and unfortunately, no one can satisfy their thirst for knowledge.
Soon, the high-level leaders of various countries also received the news sent back by the delegation, without exception, when the leaders of various countries knew the production capacity of 20 fifth-generation aircraft per day of the Future Technology Group, they could not sit still.
The United States was one of them, and ***, who was participating in an event, left the venue directly, convening a meeting of the main heads of the Pentagon.
As soon as the meeting began, *** told the US military top brass present the message sent back by the delegation.
When the people present heard about the production capacity of the future technology group's fifth-generation aircraft, everyone's faces became quite ugly.
Nissan 20 fighter jets, a year is more than 700 fifth-generation aircraft, that is to say, the future technology group's annual production of fifth-generation aircraft is enough to exceed the total number of all fifth-generation aircraft in service in other countries around the world, and this production capacity is difficult to catch up with the production capacity of all fifth-generation aircraft in the whole world.
"What is the performance of the fifth-generation aircraft of the Future Technology Group?" Someone asked.
"According to the report sent back by the visiting experts, the appearance of the future science and technology group's fifth-generation aircraft, stealth shape technology is mature, as for other specific performance, it is not clear, but from the future science and technology group's weapons and equipment development model, it can be determined that the future science and technology group's fifth-generation aircraft technology will not be too bad, not worse than our lightning fighter, and may even be stronger." The secretary took the report and introduced it to everyone:
"According to the latest news, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has submitted technical requirements for customized fifth-generation aircraft to the Future Technology Group, and Iran and other countries have also submitted technical requirements.
"Guys, what should we do?" Asked the general who was present.
"Mr. President, although it is not clear about the technical performance of the future technology group's fifth-generation aircraft, but from the perspective that the other party can easily accept the customization of various countries, this foreign trade version of the fifth-generation aircraft technology is quite mature, unless we are willing to start a war with the future technology group, otherwise we cannot prevent the other party from exporting a large number of fifth-generation aircraft."
"We have no certainty of winning a war with the Future Technology Group, not to mention that no one knows how many troops the Future Technology Group has, and we don't know how many means we don't know how many things the Future Technology Group is hiding, and it is quite an unwise choice to easily start a war with the Future Technology Group."
"But once all countries in the Middle East are generally equipped with fifth-generation aircraft, then Israel simply cannot withstand such great pressure, once a war breaks out, we will not be able to make a situation Israel is eliminated, and once the countries in the Middle East begin to equip a large number of fifth-generation aircraft, we also need to pay a very heavy price if we want to seize air supremacy."
"Then before the countries of the Middle East are equipped with fifth-generation aircraft, let them lose the ability to resist, and the Middle East world must not get out of control."
"But there is not enough time for us to accumulate enough power to trigger a coup d'état, and there are still big problems on the battlefield in Iraq that have not been resolved, so we do not have enough troops to commit to the new battlefield in the Middle East."
When it comes to the battlefield in Iraq, the faces of every high-ranking US military officer on the scene are quite ugly.
The US military has invested more than 250,000 troops in the Iraqi battlefield, of which the ground forces alone have reached 200,000.
Up to now, the total number of casualties of the 200,000 US ground troops stationed in Iraq has exceeded 60,000, and the number of soldiers killed directly has exceeded 20,000.
Despite such a huge cost of casualties, Saddam Hussein is still active in Iraq, and more and more Iraqis have joined Saddam Hussein's command to confront the US troops stationed in Iraq.
The large number of soldiers killed and wounded every day has caused considerable headaches for the US Department of Defense, and Iraq has become another battlefield meat grinder for the US military.
At this time, if a new war is opened up in the Middle East, it will be even more difficult to completely eliminate Saddam.
This is a rather cautious question, and this is also the reason why the countries of the Middle East are scrambling to buy fifth-generation aircraft, taking advantage of the fact that the United States cannot get rid of Iraq, and rapidly strengthen itself.
To put it simply, the United States is now too busy to take care of itself in Iraq, and it cannot escape itself to wage war against other Middle Eastern countries.
The United States is faced with a difficult choice.
Before the war against Iraq was launched, no one could have imagined that Saddam Hussein would be so difficult to deal with.
In the first Gulf War, the blow to Saddam Hussein was unprecedentedly efficient, and although the current war against Iraq was very smooth at the beginning, no one expected that Saddam Hussein had already prepared a way to deal with the Americans.
Now the Americans are unable to advance or retreat in Iraq, Saddam Hussein has not been eliminated for a day, the Americans are unwilling to withdraw from Iraq, but they have not been able to eliminate Saddam Hussein for a long time, and the US military not only consumes a large amount of military expenditure in Iraq every day, but also has a large number of soldiers killed and wounded every day.
At this time, everyone present is quite cautious about starting the next Middle East war, because once the next war falls into a situation similar to Iraq again, the cost of the United States' national strength will be very amazing.
But there seems to be no better way than war to deal with the disastrous consequences of future tech conglomerates' global sales of fifth-generation aircraft.
The chief of staff of the private staff, who was silent, said: "The threat in the Middle East is not only that we need to be nervous, but also our allies in Europe should be more vigilant, and Gaddafi in Libya is no longer something that can be properly handled by us alone."
I suggest that we must increase our fifth-generation aircraft production on the one hand, and increase a large number of fifth-generation aircraft production lines. We don't want to have a crushing advantage over the future technology group, but the number of fifth-generation aircraft purchased by Middle Eastern countries is unlikely to reach a few hundred.
At the same time, we should immediately strengthen the effectiveness of arming and training the Kurds, and strengthen the co-optation and organization of anti-government elements in Middle Eastern countries, so as to disintegrate from within one or two Middle Eastern countries as much as possible. ”
The chief of staff's suggestion made everyone present nod their heads, saying that it is not advisable to take the lead in waging war at present, and it is also undesirable to make a strong presence in the Middle East, and now we can only adopt conventional means.
