[Chapter 448: The Unpredictable Situation]
"160,000 tons? Are you sure? Halim was taken aback when he heard this number, the standard 100,000-ton "Nimitz-class" supercarrier is so huge that it is like a mobile fortress on the water, what is the concept of 160,000 tons?
A ship of this tonnage could not be thought of other than an aircraft carrier. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Aircraft carriers, this is the biggest dream of every country with territorial waters, but its extremely high manufacturing difficulty and industrial level limitations, as well as the prohibitive cost Until today, the total number of aircraft carriers in service in the world has not exceeded 30.
The Americans, with deep pockets, have 11 aircraft carriers, accounting for almost half of the total, followed by the Republic, which currently has four in official service, three 60,000-ton medium aircraft carriers and one 100,000-ton large aircraft carrier. And in Southeast Asia, the countries equipped with aircraft carriers, except for the Republic, that is, Thailand, bought a second-hand cargo to support the façade.
Malaysia, on the other hand, has a GDP of no more than $500 billion a year, and has no idea about aircraft carriers, so it simply does not have the ability to raise a fleet like a gold-swallowing monster.
Halim was shocked to see that the other party mysteriously exposed such a terrifying data, looking at his level of confidence and his critical juncture, he obviously had a high degree of credibility.
At this moment, Halim had a sense of rejoicing, glad that he was not on the wrong side this time, and if he chose the Americans who were far away, he would regret it. Although I don't know the specific data of the mysterious mothership in the other party's mouth, the data of this tonnage alone can reflect many things, including industrial level, economic strength, etc., and the deployment in the South China Sea is a manifestation of firm determination, which is the point that Halim attaches the most importance to, indicating that he has not given up on you.
"With the assurance of your words, my heart is a little more steady." After the shock, the Führer Halim laughed dryly, and the look of jumping his feet in a hurry before was gone.
Clear-eyed people know that Southeast Asia has become a new arena for wrestling between major powers, and Malaysia's impatience to take the lead was also forced by the Americans.
The rest of the ASEAN countries were silent, watching the situation unfold. Silence is undoubtedly the wisest choice, the wrestling between the great powers is like a battle between the gods, and the first to be affected are often the small countries, while Malaysia has chosen to be the first to come out, and the other countries are happy to see what the outcome will be in order to make the best choice.
The impact of the transfer of the main aircraft carrier of the Southern Fleet from the South China Sea to Southeast Asia cannot be ignored, and for a time, the situation in Southeast Asia is unpredictable. The ASEAN countries are all puzzled that the Southern Fleet has transferred its capital ships, is this to abandon Malaysia's sincere "defection"? Or does the other person simply not care?
In particular, the Western media, immediately after the announcement of this news by the Ministry of Defense of the Republic, began to report on it in a big way.
"All of this has proven to be wishful thinking on the part of the Halim government, and the authorities have led Malaysia into the quagmire, and the end of the reign of dictatorship and terror will end in tragedy, and the Halim government must step down if Malaysia wants to get out of the quagmire of the current quagmire." -- The New York Times.
The withdrawal of the Southern Fleet was once regarded by the American media as a powerful manifestation of the fact that it was proud to be the first round of the covert wrestling, and they tried to take this opportunity to create public opinion and cause panic in Malaysia.
Halim, who learned the inside information, was unmoved, and the 160,000-ton reassuring pill was still very useful.
The impact of the withdrawal of the Southern Fleet on Malaysia must not be ignored, and in an environment where the Western media wantonly create negative public opinion, there are more or less signs of vacillation in Malaysia, and this is precisely what the Americans are most willing to see.
However, the experienced Halim and the reassurance given by the Republic were enough to force him to move forward, and this big gamble basically weighed on him, and Halim had no way out. With the first purge, he didn't care about the second time, and he took an iron fist in the face of those who were shaken inside, knowing that as long as he survived the most difficult pass, he would reach the clear sky on the other side of the dark clouds.
The more radical the Halim government became, the more the Western media became more and more aggressive in creating public opinion that the Halim government was coming to an end, which was his last madness.
However, all this seems to be a one-man show in the Western media, and the Americans have not carried out the final military intervention, as long as it does not carry out military intervention, the Halim government, which has a firm grip on the Malaysian army, cannot be shaken.
After all, the Americans also have some scruples, and it is undoubtedly the most direct, simple, crude, and effective means to intervene militarily in Malaysia, but in the territory of Southeast Asia, even the United States has to be careful and careful.
The so-called once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope, the last century invincible Americans in Southeast Asia deep in the Vietnam War can not extricate themselves, this time again to visit the old land, although it is no longer Vietnam, but the fear of the last century sequelae still has not subsided.
Although the American media trumpeted this so-called covert wrestling and the United States won the first round, only they know that it was actually out of a disadvantaged position. Because the republic has never intervened, or it has not intervened on the surface, but in the form of a spokesman, and from here the Americans actually lose, you have already played your cards, and your opponent has not shown a single card.
At this moment, companies in Greater China, led by Matrix Technology, began to follow up on investment when the West imposed economic sanctions on Malaysia, and Malaysia also opened its door to welcome entry, among which the virtual world of Matrix Technology has been gaining popularity in Malaysia at an astonishing rate in recent times.
A large number of signal base stations have been laid at a rapid pace, allowing the Internet and the virtual world in the region to complete the connection and interaction at the fastest speed, and in order to deal with the measures, the price of the perception helmet of Matrix Technology in the local area has also implemented preferential policies.
Although Malaysia is a small country, it is a middle-income country, and the region has a good consumption power, especially for the top technology products of Matrix Technology, which has a strong desire to consume, and people all over the world love the company's products.
