[Chapter 460: Dilemma and Coping Strategies]

While the global public is talking about the Cetanine and the Southern Naval Fleet, think tanks in various countries are constantly negotiating, especially the major powers are assessing what kind of impact this event will have on the global landscape, especially the attitude of the Americans.

Just when the world of Whale Sagia was exposed, the Pentagon and the White House were already busy, with large and small analyses and constant discussions by think tanks in order to deal with the impact of the incident.

The then president of the United States was in high spirits when he first took office, but in just a few years, his originally jet-black hair has appeared a large number of gray hair.

Because today's America is not easy, and many people are nostalgic for the last century, which was the era that really belonged to the United States.

I thought that with the fall of the Soviet Union, the United States would usher in a new era with the death of its greatest enemy, but today's situation is not optimistic, and the eastern country on the other side of the Pacific Ocean is rising in all directions from the economic, political, scientific, technological, military, and other fields, which has seriously hindered the interests of the United States in the world, and its global hegemony has also been challenged in a new way.

Especially after the exposure of Whale Sagia, this situation has changed from implicit to explicit, which is definitely not a good thing for the United States.

Recently, with the great changes in Malaysia's political direction, the waters in Southeast Asia have become more and more turbid.

With the deepening of the United States' involvement in Malaysia, more and more of its powerful aircraft carrier battle groups are heading for Southeast Asia from the other side of the Pacific Ocean, especially not long ago, after the Seventh Fleet arrived in Southeast Asia, the two major US Navy aircraft carrier battle groups headed by the "Stennis Ship" and "Reagan" jointly held a large-scale exercise near the Philippines.

The real purpose is like Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it. With such a large position, Malaysia is not yet eligible for this kind of "treatment", which is actually nothing more than a military deterrent to the big powers in the north of the region.

However, the exposure of the constellation Whale and the entry into the Southern Fleet completely disrupted the deployment of the Americans in Southeast Asia, and it can be said that it was completely chaotic.

Washington, D.C., White House.

The then president of the United States looked at a group of think tanks and high-level American leaders, and said in a deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, the current situation is extremely unfavorable to the United States, and there is any way to return to today's passive situation." ”

The US Secretary of Defense said: "We are the country with the most powerful military strength in the world today, and in particular, the navy is the most expensive in the world, and the navy is the backbone of safeguarding US interests abroad and in terms of global de facto strategic deterrence and military strikes, but today we are facing unprecedented challenges from the navies of other countries since the beginning of the new century." ”

"What I want is a coping strategy, how to return to today's passive situation in Southeast Asia." The then president looked at the Minister of Defense, "Will our fleet be able to win the war?" ”

"If it had been before, there would have been no problem. But against a fleet with underwater carriers in the constellation of Whales, our odds are extremely weak, Mr. President. A senior staff officer replied.

"That's the crux of the matter." The president looked around at everyone: "The navy is the symbol of the United States, and not only that, but the navy is an important tool of the United States for global hegemony and power, and the mighty aircraft carrier formation and its battle group sailing in the four oceans are the embodiment of the global will of the United States, and if the navy, which symbolizes the will of the United States, cannot win a war......

The president paused, his eyelids twitched slightly, and looked at everyone: "It will definitely make America go through a violent psychological shock from top to bottom, and once the clarion call of war is sounded, we must win." ”

"A war with the second-largest economy is not what the United States wants, nor is it in America's interests abroad." "But the situation in Southeast Asia today is not what the United States wants......

Everyone was silent, and it was clear that with the exposure of the constellation Sagiarius, the opponent on the other side showed the first hand, and the game between the two sides was once again the turn of the United States to play its cards, and now the world was silently watching how the United States would react in Southeast Asia.

In the face of a large number of Chinese companies stationed in Malaysia, which has seriously hindered the economic sanctions imposed by the West on Malaysia, if the United States only responds to the behavior of its opponents with political condemnation and economic sanctions, it is obviously very illusory, and economic sanctions are not a wise move, so there is only the so-called political condemnation.

It is precisely because all countries in the world regard the United States as the world hegemon and possess a powerful overall military strength that if it does not take some concrete action, it is very likely that the United States' global hegemonic position will be shaken and its global political prestige will suffer a major setback, and this will set an example for other countries and regions, and they will see that the United States will "retreat."

Obviously, the appearance of the constellation Sagittarius has forced the White House into a dilemma, and if it is to defend its status and dignity as a global hegemon, it must also carry out tough practical actions in Southeast Asia.

"If there is a war conflict, to what extent can it be controlled?" The president asked, after a long silence.

"Mr. President, if a local war and conflict breaks out, this is definitely not an asymmetrical war, the opponent is the world's second largest economy, the front is extremely unfavorable for the United States, if the naval fleet is heavily damaged, or even the aircraft carrier is sunk, I am afraid that this battle may escalate into a full-scale war, a war that may pose a threat to the homeland of both sides." A think tank said, he paused, and added: "He is not a small country, although the United States has experienced wars for many years, but those are asymmetrical wars, and we have never felt pressure, in fact, we have not experienced wars between major powers for decades." ”

"I don't really agree that the conflict has broken out, and the situation is beyond the free control of the United States." Someone said.

"Now it's not a question of whether we want to fight or not, Your Excellency. The current situation is a situation that has to be fought, but if there is no action, it will not be done, and the hegemony established by the United States in the world will be shaken."

The secretary of state didn't pay attention to the person who spoke, but looked at the president: "Why don't you go over and probe them." ”

The Secretary of State looked at the President and glanced at the red hotline, which could be reached on the other side, and the Secretary's proposal was self-evident, and he added: "Mr. President, I don't think the other side wants to see the situation escalate, and the situation is that the United States must have a step down." ”

"Like this staircase...... The president asked rhetorically.

The Secretary of State thought for a moment and said: "Unilateral compromise is not possible, the other side is not comparable to the former Soviet Union militarily, but it has surpassed the Soviet Union in economic terms, and we do not want to admit that we must face the fact that it is already a world superpower." ”

"So......" the president raised his hand, pointing to the Secretary of State.

The Secretary of State continued: "For the sake of global peace and stability, the United States should demonstrate its great power bearing, and the United States, as a global leader (hegemon), should play a leading role in world stability and peace, which is also a manifestation of the will of the United States." At this point, the Secretary smiled and added, "This has not shaken our global leadership." We should both take a step back, and the United States can compromise politically, but the other side also has to compromise economically. ”

"The failure of the United States in Southeast Asia will not be seen as a shake in its position and a 'retreat', but a bargaining chip in this 'deal'. This is our compromise. One by one, the secretary of state said: "And the concessions of the other side must also be given economic concessions, and this is the step that the United States has taken down." As the U.S.-China Business Forum summit in Beijing this year approaches, it gives us a good opportunity for dialogue, and I think Mr. President, you should personally lead the U.S.-owned business elite to Beijing......"

"Since they have launched a spokesperson led by Xlous in Malaysia, why don't we follow their lead and launch our corporate spokesperson financially." The secretary of state finally said so.

When the president heard this, his face finally eased, and for the first time he showed a hint of a smile and nodded slightly. Then he looked at the red hotline......

As time went by, just as countries around the world were silently waiting for the United States to play its cards, the new China-US Entrepreneur Roundtable was approaching, and a piece of news from the United States quickly attracted a lot of attention, and the then president would lead 15 high-tech American companies to visit China to participate in the forum.

Matrix Technologies, Headquarters.

Ren Hong has just received the news that Matrix Technology has become one of the 15 domestic high-tech enterprises at the forum, but he is paying attention to the extremely hot news uploaded on the Internet at the moment.

In particular, the domestic Internet is a sensation, and the most ferocious news in the domestic Internet technology circle is the rumor that Facebook, Google, YouTube and other companies are about to return to Greater China.

This time, the news of the return of companies such as Facebook to China is stronger than ever, especially in the run-up to the summit.

The communicator rang immediately, and Ren Hong saw that it was Kang Tao's communication.

"Really? Well, I know ......" Ren Hong ended the communication, looked at the news on the screen, and muttered: "I am afraid that the comfortable era of these domestic Internet companies working behind closed doors is gone, and without the government's umbrella, if you want to survive, you can only stand out from the cruel competition." ”

Ren Hong has learned the general news from Kang Tao, not surprisingly, Facebook these American giants are finally about to step into this fantastic market as they wish, Ren Hong seems to think of Zuckerberg and Larry at this moment. Page wakes up laughing when he dreams, especially Zach, who has always been obsessed with the Greater China market, and now he is finally about to embark on a new chapter, which is a new success for Zach, who aims to connect all mankind, both commercially and personally.

Ren Hong immediately contacted the person in charge of the dinosaur project: "Yonghua, how is the renovation of Diaomen Island going?" ”

Yonghua's voice came from the other end of the communicator: "It's already set off, according to the plan, the first batch of dinosaurs will officially settle on Diaomen Island in 6 days." ”

Ren Hong smiled comfortably when he heard this: "Although the whale shark is a sensation in the world, the world's headlines are paying attention to the game of great powers, ha, we haven't slaughtered the world headlines for a while, let the dinosaurs take over this burden!" ”

At this moment, a large cruise ship of more than 300,000 tons is sailing to Diaomen Island, and on the cruise ship, carrying a large number of prehistoric species, when it appears alive in the world, it will surely shake the whole world.
