Chapter 1069: Bankruptcy of the Return to Asia-Pacific Strategy
For the U.S. government, taking out $50 billion to pay the ransom at once is definitely a big deal.
If nothing else, such a large amount of unprovoked expenditure alone can make the entire government shut down immediately, because the government's budget is very carefully done, and if there is such a big hole, no one can explain it.
Fortunately, there will always be some unsolicited income from the government, which is linked to some special accounts, so it is not impossible to temporarily use some funds to solve the crisis.
For example, this time, in order to raise a ransom for Lin Xiao, they turned their brains to the assets of the newly acquired Magic Stone Society.
After all, the Magic Stone Society has been developing in the United States for two or three hundred years, and even before the founding of the United States, they already existed, and they have accumulated a considerable amount of wealth, and the savings from generation to generation have indeed become an astronomical amount.
So this time, the Demon Stone Society Lord died, which directly caused the U.S. government to obtain a large amount of income that could not be recorded in the accounts, and through some hidden accounts, they immediately gained a rather astonishing amount of wealth.
Using a small part of this wealth to pay the ransom that Lin Xiao needed was still very cost-effective.
President Ohei studied the situation with his staff, and immediately felt not so sad in his heart, after all, such a large income is enough for them to do a lot of things.
Although the president's salary standard is very low, even inferior to the middle managers of some small companies, but after a few years in this position, it will bring a lot of difference to their lives, and the personal halo will be lofty to the point of being incomparable, and the super-national treatment after retirement and the compensation that can be obtained in the economy are what they value most.
For example, just relying on memoirs or something is enough for them to earn a lot of money, which is enough to make them live a good life without worries.
Other aspects, such as overseas speeches, paid payments for attending some high-end forum activities, etc., should not be underestimated.
The most important point is that the political resources they have obtained will not only be of great help to themselves, but even benefit future generations, creating a huge political family for no reason.
Therefore, whether Americans are ordinary people or presidents, the word money is most important.
It is indeed distressing to pay Lin Xiao 50 billion US dollars, but the wealth of the Magic Stone Society they obtained can make everyone smile, after all, how to divide this money, although there is still research to be done, but there is no doubt that everyone here can make a lot of money.
Of course, if you want to get a share of the money, you have to be with everyone, so they can quickly form a close alliance of interests and make a common voice.
For example, in the matter of paying the ransom to Lin Xiao, several high-level officials used the top authority at the same time, and the green light was given all the way, and this matter was quickly resolved, if there was no more terrifying force to intervene, no one would know what happened.
After all, if this thing is said to be true, not many people will believe it.
Would the U.S. government give in to a Chinese man and pay a ransom of $50 billion simply because the other side captured two of their most powerful aircraft carrier formations? Is this a joke, or is it a joke? It's just a joke.
When Lin Xiao received the money, he was still relatively happy.
"No one will have trouble with money...... Lin Xiao checked the numbers in his bank card, and then said to Han Ya with a smile, "I estimate that the Americans' aircraft carrier strategy will have to make some changes in the future." ”
Han Ya couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.
What Lin Xiao said is also very reasonable, after all, after suffering such a big loss, if the Americans still want to be superstitious about their aircraft carrier formation equaling everything, it is purely brain water.
At least, when Lin Xiao exists, the Americans are not willing to use the aircraft carrier formation to harass the Chinese side again, otherwise, if Lin Xiao is captured once or twice, the US government will really go bankrupt, and they are not ready to pay such a huge ransom at any time.
"Actually, I think the Americans will make a lot of policy adjustments after this incident, especially for the strategic layout of the Asia-Pacific region, which should make a certain contraction......," Han Ya analyzed Lin Xiao, "Although this will make them feel a little slapped in the face, but in today's situation, there is no better choice." ”
Lin Xiao nodded, thinking deeply.
As a matter of fact, the United States' attempt to dominate the world has not changed in the slightest.
For a long time, the United States has regarded China as a potential strategic rival, especially after the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the drastic changes in Eastern Europe, the United States' strategic focus has shifted from Europe to Asia, and it has regarded China as the strategic focus and main rival of the United States.
After the 9/11 incident, the United States seized the opportunity to strengthen its military alliance in Asia, extending its encirclement from Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia to East Asia, and stepping up its deployment of troops against China in East Asia, seriously threatening China's security.
From a political point of view, the United States has always denied the social system that China has chosen independently, and has changed new methods to wield people. The so-called new interventionist stick of power above sovereignty interferes in China's internal affairs.
Neo-interventionism holds that in today's era of globalization, the political system, economic model, cultural values, and way of life of Western countries are the common values of all mankind, and that China should abandon the leadership of the ruling party and the existing social system and promote this value, so as to become a people. Lord, there are people. right to the country.
This is red. Bare. Naked interference in China's internal affairs is a serious threat to China's political security.
American excuse people. Under the banner of neo-interventionism, the United States has continuously supplied Taiwan with advanced weapons, regarded the Taiwan Strait as the scope of US and Japanese security defense, and threatened China that if a military action breaks out between the two sides of the strait, the United States will never sit idly by and obstruct China's great cause of reunification.
In order to isolate China and safeguard US strategic interests in the Asia-Pacific region, the United States openly supports some ASEAN countries in confronting China and invading the Nansha Islands and nearby waters.
These fait accompli are seriously affecting and threatening China's political security.
"The United States has put forward and implemented the National Missile Defense Program and the Theater Missile Defense Program in flagrant violation of the International Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty signed in 1972. Its purpose is by no means merely to protect the combat effectiveness of all US offensive weapons and combat units, but also to weaken China's nuclear attack capability, provoke a new arms race, and try to make China repeat the old path of the collapse of the Soviet Union. Han Ya said to Lin Xiao, "The strategic focus of the United States' return to the Asia-Pacific region is aimed at China, and now the United States' encirclement of China has extended from Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia to East Asia, seriously threatening our national security." In fact, we haven't had a good time lately. ”
As Han Ya said, these countries around China have basically bordered China, so naturally there will be territorial disputes, and on the issue of national territory, not giving an inch is something that every country understands, so these surrounding countries often press the gourd to float the scoop, and there are people making trouble at any time of the year.
And the source of these troubles was all carried out with the support of the Americans, who, taken together, are indeed the new axis of evil in the world and the great enemy of the problem of world peace.
Everywhere the Americans went, they brought not only Coca-Cola and chewing gum, but also American GIs and war.
China has endured for decades and made great economic achievements, and now it is finally capable of developing a certain military force, so the Americans are even more anxious; if it really allows China to develop more than a dozen aircraft carrier formations, the strategic advantage of the Americans will not exist at all, and it is difficult to say who these small countries will listen to.
In order for the United States to not turn into a joke in its strategy of returning to the Asia-Pacific region, they also need to constantly create trouble for China so that China cannot concentrate on economic development.
"I haven't heard you say anything about it." Lin Xiao nodded and said, "But the Americans' wolf ambitions really need someone to stand up and slap him twice, so that they can sober up properly." ”
"You have already beaten them more hard this time, I estimate that they will not dare to let the aircraft carrier formation run over to show off their power for a long time." Han Ya smiled when she heard this.
"When they come, I welcome them, and when they go, I don't send them." Lin Xiao smiled and said, "As long as they can afford to pay the ransom, I don't care about this, and they are welcome to come to Huaxia as guests at any time." You have to bring them back as they are, so as to save time for misunderstandings, which is not to be unpredictable. ”
"I'm sure I'll pass it on to them as it is." Han Ya covered her mouth and smiled, "I believe that this time Uncle Sam is completely broken." ”
This incident really made the Americans feel very troubled, not only Lin Xiao used the two aircraft carrier formations to extort 50 billion US dollars from them, but also some subsequent policy trends, which also need to be readjusted.
The biggest headache for them is that this strategy of returning to the Asia-Pacific region has been declared a complete failure, and without the support of the US aircraft carrier group, why should they only rely on those small countries in Southeast Asia to argue with China?
What can they do with the broken ship in their hands that has been in service for forty years and is regarded as a treasure? Even if you stay where you are, you will rust and sink, let alone go out to fight or something.
Yes, the Americans can give their good ships as scrap to improve their combat effectiveness, but even if they have ships, it is not something that can be done in a day or two to form effective combat effectiveness.
If you rely on them, the daylilies will be cold, and to say a more vulgar word, their strength will not even be able to eat hot.
Therefore, the Americans' strategy of returning to the Asia-Pacific region, since Lin Xiao's move, has actually been declared completely bankrupt.
