Meanwhile, on the other side of the sea, the May, overwhelmed by Project 22 and its subsequent review, has finally completed screening the last of Loma's employees, and has finally ruled out the possibility of a "large-scale leak."

Yes, they didn't catch any ghosts, but such a fanfare undoubtedly gave a strong signal to their superiors, that is:

The problem is not our May meeting, and certainly not the forward bases, but the rear, Loma, Boeing, or other organizations involved in the F-22 program.

This time we didn't find out, it doesn't mean that you don't have a problem, we will still keep an eye on you, as long as you show your feet, we will definitely catch ......

Under such deliberate guidance, the originally crumbling May Club miraculously regained its footing.

This group of people has transformed from criminals who have seriously failed in their duties to tragic heroes who have tried their best to defend the interests of the country but ultimately failed because of betrayal, and returned with a thunderous rage to take revenge.

This hand-held operation was admired even by Paine, the chief adviser of the self-proclaimed and experienced MayMay Society.

As a result, Conant, who made this plan, has also risen in status, and has vaguely become a figure of the May meeting, and began to participate in the discussion of the core issues......

In a small, dimly lit living room, Paine and Houston sat side by side on the couch, opposite Conant, who was attending such a "secret party" for the first time.

Looking at Conant's slightly cramped expression, Paine laughed and said comfortingly:

"Don't be so nervous, kid, this is not Hannibal's cellar, and there won't be the Masonic orientation process-—— you can let go of your worries about chastity."

"The reason why we have asked you to come here is just to show our trust in you."

"In the previous incident, you handled it in the right way, both to preserve the prestige of the May Society and to give our enemies a powerful warning."

"It's rare, it's going to be your feat, recorded in our booklet."

"In the same way, in order to show that we value your merits, we will give you equal rights."

"Starting today, you'll truly have the right to hear key messages, participate in core decisions, and have your own votes."

Hearing this, Conant sat up straight excitedly, and the expression on his face seemed to be a little overwhelmed.

The mysterious, powerful, and historic "Jason" May Society, with which almost every advisor who has the privilege of approaching wants to get into its core, but very few actually do so.

And now, I am lucky to be one of them.

Isn't that exciting? ——

Even if you're not excited, the others in this room will want to be excited.

"It's a great honor, I don't know how to express it, but trust me for my loyalty to the May......"

"It's loyalty to the country."

Paine interrupted Connett's incoherent speech, who took two deep breaths, as if at last calming his agitation.

Paine, on the other hand, looked at the scene with satisfaction, and said with appreciation:

"It's very good, being able to adjust your mentality so quickly shows that you are indeed a qualified brother."

"Well, let's not waste any more time."

"Every time we enter this room, it means that there is a big decision to discuss, and today is no exception."

At this point, Paine deliberately paused for a moment, and after confirming that Conant had not wandered, he continued:

"Today, we're going to talk about how to undo our fiasco in the fourth-generation aircraft competition."

"We've talked about some directions in advance, and you need to judge whether those directions are feasible."

"Of course, your opinion will be used as a reference-—— important reference, understand?"

Conant nodded solemnly and replied:

"Understood."

"Okay, then I'll tell you our strategy straightforwardly."

"In fact, the loss of competition for fourth-generation aircraft has become an established fact, and we cannot change this fact by any means."

"So, what we're going to do is actually very simple, and that's to get an extra advantage in other areas to offset the disadvantage of the fourth-generation aircraft."

"There are two main parts to the program, the first part is competition in the grain market."

"The second part is to prevent their fourth-generation aircraft from further improving and suppressing the strength of the fourth-generation aircraft below the level of the F-22."

"How?"

After hearing Paine's words, Conette asked.

He is neither an expert in agriculture nor an expert in the military industry, and he actually does not have much say in either aspect.

Therefore, instead of blindly opening your mouth to cause dissatisfaction with the other party, it is better to honestly admit your shortcomings and show your modesty.

Paine seemed extremely pleased with Connet's reaction, and in fact, he had already thought about it when he brought Connetra into the inner circle, and if the other party was an arrogant character, he would definitely not hesitate to kick him out again.

But fortunately, the other party's performance is quite satisfactory.

So he replied:

"In terms of food competition, we began to lay out the soybean and rice markets of the other side two months ago, and at present, the chips we hold have reached 30 billion US dollars."

"At the same time, the price of soybeans in the local market has also been pushed up to 4,300 yuan per tonne, and the country has effectively fallen into a soybean crisis."

"Next, we will use our leverage to crush the opponent's soybean industry, and if possible, we will attack rice after the soybean collapse."

"But this step is very difficult, and we are not sure that it will succeed."

Hearing this, Conant nodded.

"Yes, of course we won't."

"Rice is their most important staple food, and they would rather give up everything than let rice have problems."

"But that doesn't mean we don't have a chance – in fact, it's a great opportunity."

"We can attack rice and soybeans at the same time, and we can even bring corn."

"When all their attention and resources are focused on rice, the other commodities must be undefensive, and we can crush them in one fell swoop!"

"Perfect!"

Paine high-fived approvingly.

"That's exactly what I wanted, and your suggestion coincides with ours."

"In that case, I don't think there is any need to discuss the part about food, we will carry it out according to the plan - you are the person in charge!"

"It's my pleasure!"

Conant replied awe-inspiringly.

He was vaguely aware of the danger of this matter, but he also knew that in this situation, he had absolutely no reason to refuse.

"Good, I'm impressed by your loyalty."

"Then next, we need to suppress the further development of the opponent's fourth-generation aircraft, do you have any opinion on this?"

Conette frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he spoke:

"According to our early intelligence, the current fourth-generation aircraft is impeccable in terms of power, stealth, and weapons - they almost completely copy our F-22."

"But the good thing is that they have a fatal problem: the radar system."

"As we all know, radar has always been their weak point, because their radar technology is inherited from the Soviet Union, and in comparison, there is a generation gap of at least 20 years with us."

"This is the only weakness of their so-called J-224 aircraft."

"I think that if we want to suppress the strength of the opponent's fourth-generation aircraft, this is our only chance now, and it is also the best chance."

"Because, in the pattern of the future battlefield, over-the-horizon strikes are the absolute mainstream, as long as the development of the opponent's radar technology can be restricted, then all the advanced designs of that aircraft will come to naught."

"Very good! Your talent simply amazes me! ”

Paine had a look of surprise on his face, and even he didn't expect that Conette would be able to analyze the current situation so thoroughly with extremely limited information.

Moreover, it also gave the same strategy as the inner circle of the May meeting!

This young man may be a rare talent

Thinking of this, he didn't wait for Conant's answer, and then continued to speak:

"As you might expect, we noticed that they had just organized a technical seminar on the design of various industries, and the content of the discussion was diffusion furnace technology, which is officially highly related to radar and semiconductor technology."

"This technology has been dispersed among many business entities, and the other party seems to be planning to use the power of these entities to establish a semiconductor industry system in China."

"So, what I need you to do is simple."

"Do whatever it takes to disrupt or slow down the other party's progress!"

"When necessary, it can be industrially destroyed."

"Remember, it's not just about a fourth-generation aircraft."

"Semiconductor technology is the future authority of this world, and we must not let this authority fall into their hands!"

Looking at Paine's serious expression, Conant nodded slowly.

At this moment, he felt a tremendous amount of pressure.

At the same time, an impulse suddenly arose.

It's like the impulse of a shark when it smells blood.
