Chapter 720: No Pit

May 2, Republic 2784 (1944), Hanjing.

"Hey, why didn't anyone fall into the pit this time......" Wen Deji sighed melancholy.

Wen Desi made the inauguration ceremony of the Shenzhou-class super battleship extremely grand, not only hyped up wildly in the major media, but also invited many military experts, diplomats, media and non-governmental representatives from various countries. A certain staff officer who presided over the plan also gave this hype plan the code name of "Shenzhou Wild Lan", which is full of middle and second spirit.

Of course, his purpose in playing this way is similar to the previous "strategic airships are invincible!", "Land cruisers are great, they are great!", "Broad-gauge railroads are good!", "Let's play with miniature tubes!", "Tube computers are the future!", and so on.

But this time, the reaction of "Shenzhou Crazy Lan" was unexpectedly bad, although the people of various countries were very enthusiastic, especially in the online communities of various countries, there were Shenzhou-level topics everywhere, but the governments and armies of various countries reacted obviously coldly, and no one fell into the pit so far. This is very different from what Wendeji expected.

This suddenly made our beloved Mr. Wen feel a sense of frustration that "the script is crooked" or "the plan is on the street".

Gu Xiaolu glanced at him: "Cut, you can figure it out! This ship costs 800 tons of gold, probably except for the United States, no one is qualified to be fooled." I said a long time ago, you guys have gone too far, the bar is too high......"

"They can also make it cheaper, it's such a silent one, it's too much of a failure......" Wen Deji said sullenly. "Now this person has learned elves, it's not easy to fool ......"

Gu Xiaolu pursed her lips, ignored her husband, and threw him next to him and sighed.

It is probably because Wen Desi has always played the trick of "the wolf came" in the past few decades, and made the great powers so miserable, I don't know how much money was spent and countless manpower and material resources were wasted. This has fallen so many times, even a pig has learned to be obedient, and the powers are not stupid, so it is understandable that they reacted coldly to this "Shenzhou Wild Lan".

Therefore, after learning the news of the commissioning of the Shenzhou-class battleships, the first reaction of the great powers was not "we will also do it". Instead: "Be careful, classmates! This guy is digging a pit and harming people again! Our big X country can't be fooled again! The last time I fell into that XX pit, it hurt us miserably!"

In fact, this cannot be blamed on Wen Dehei, who told you to like to follow the trend? Moreover, in good conscience, those things that "brought people into the ditch" in the past were not exactly pits, such as "giant airships" and "broad-gauge railways", which are absolutely not, and giant airships are still used in large quantities in China today. Not to mention the "broad-gauge railway", which has now become the world standard. But here's the problem, Wen Desi is a little misleading about the use and cost performance of these things, the time spent on research, and the time invested.

Let the great powers click on the wrong tech tree at the wrong time, in the wrong place, and get things wrong, so everyone has the feeling of falling into the pit. For example, the "broad-gauge railway" is of course good, but the cost is twice as expensive, and it is good that there are no railways or fewer railways, and those countries that already have many railways, such as the United States, have been pitted. Of course, this has nothing to do with Wen Dehei, he just puts forward the prospect of something, as for how to get there, how many difficulties there are, and how others understand it, that's another matter.

As for the "Land Cruiser", "Micro Tube", "Mechanical Computer", "Tube Computer" and so on, China has already come up with the finished product first. Who told you to follow the trend? We didn't force them to do it.

Besides, even without those criminal records, the great powers have to think about their own pockets. According to China's own statement, the unit price of this item is 1.6 billion Chinese yuan (including research and design costs), and it can build three Guangdong-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers! According to the current exchange rate, it is equivalent to a full 800 tons of gold. No matter how good things are, you can't afford to play if you don't have enough money.

Moreover, the last few naval battles have all shown that aircraft carriers are the future kings of the sea, and battleships are outdated. These sea battles were all over before they were within the range of the battleship's main guns. No matter how good a battleship is, it is an outdated thing, and a fool will spend this unjust money! Our big XX money is not blown by the wind!

Of course, strictly speaking, for China, the Shenzhou level is necessary, not a pit. Wen Desi just wants to cuddle the grass and beat the rabbit, fooling one to the point that one counts as one, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't trap anyone. The Shenzhou-class is a kind of technology verification ship, which is mainly used to test the subsystems on some space warships, as well as some valuable cutting-edge technology things, with a strong experimental nature. But for those countries that lack the relevant technology, this is a bottomless sinkhole, the kind that you can't climb out of if you fall into it.

But it is precisely because of the use of too many black technologies and too expensive costs. This class of battleships, which was originally scheduled to be commissioned in the first half of 1942, was delayed for more than a year, and was not commissioned until January of this year.

Gu Xiaolu sorted out the documents in the office, leaned over and said, "Husband, you see that the second child is about to give birth, and the boss hasn't moved yet, is it okay for him to hurry back to the earth and go up again after giving birth to children......

"Zebin, he didn't listen to what I said. You know, he's working on that Martian spacecraft......" Wen Deji put down the newspaper in his hand and said helplessly.

"There are so many people in the project team, it's not that he can't do it without him!" Seeing that his sister was about to hug his granddaughter, Gu Xiaolu, who was anxious to hug his grandson, was a little anxious. She suddenly had an idea: "Isn't there a Family Planning Commission? Let the people of the Family Planning Commission enforce it!"

"......" the corners of Wen Desi's mouth twitched, and he didn't speak. He knew that with Gu Xiaolu's current mental state, he would not be able to listen to it.

"Ze Bin, he is a double doctor, and Xiao Mu is also a doctor, and they are all subject to mandatory family planning regulations......" Seeing that her husband didn't squeak, the mother was thinking about it. Soon, she clapped her hands happily: "Okay, I'll call the police and ask them to move quickly!"

Tiangong-2.

"Ah......h Sneezing ...... ......"In the spacecraft factory of this giant space base, which was newly built this year, Colonel Wen Zebin, who was in a meeting with his colleagues, suddenly sneezed a few times.

"Director, what's wrong with you?" the colleague next to him hurriedly asked.

"I don't know, I sneeze all over the world when I get up today......" Wen Zebin was a little speechless: "Now, let's talk about the counterweight of this spacecraft." The test found the following problems......

He was talking endlessly, when he suddenly heard someone call him: "Wen Zebin!

Looking back, it was Major General Zhao Hongxiang, the commander of the base. Commander Zhao was also surrounded by a bunch of people, and the personable middle-aged lady in the middle he knew, a friend of his wife, and seemed to be the deputy director of the Family Planning Commission. Around them were several stick lads in uniform, with white helmets and orange uniforms. Oh, this seems to be a powerful existence that is jokingly called the "family planning gendarme" by the people.

Zhao Hongxiang said with a smile: "Zebin, you stop there first, Deputy Director Song of the Family Planning Commission has something urgent to find you......"

"Oh......" Wen Zebin faintly had a bad feeling.

When Commander Zhao threw them in the conference room to say goodbye, Wen Zebin stubbornly said, "Aunt Song, hello ......"

"Zebin, you are not young anymore......" Deputy Director Song, who still has charm, smiled kindly: "According to the family planning system, your current age is now beyond the standard." You see, your mother and your mother-in-law have reported to our Family Planning Commission today and asked for enforcement......"

"Wait, I remember that the age limit for compulsory family planning was 30 years old, and I'm under 27 now......"

Deputy Director Song said with a sympathetic face: "That's right, the average person is 30 years old, but you are a double doctor, and your eldest lady is also a doctor, so the age limit must be lowered." According to the regulations, the age limit for both of you is a few years over......"

"Aunt Song, can't you slow down any longer, I'm very nervous here......"

Deputy Director Song made an official tone: "Zebin, this is a national regulation, we are a country with a legal system, everything must be done according to the regulations, who told you not to hurry up at the beginning......"

Wen Zebin is embarrassed, that there is a god.

Things turned out to be as he had a hunch, and he was suspended from his duties by the base command that afternoon, given him a long paid vacation, and then was taken back to Earth by the Family Planning Commission. As for what to do, you know......

..............................................................................

By the second half of 1944, the world situation had become very dull.

Whether it was the Central Powers, Japan, or the Western Treaty bloc (the Entente had already joined the Western Treaty as a whole), they were all at a stalemate at this time. In the face of Germany and Japan, which had nurses behind them, several counteroffensive attempts by the Western group failed, and they were even expelled from the Mediterranean and North Africa. But neither Britain nor the United States had any idea of an armistice.

As for South Africa, Japan and the United States are inseparable, and the two countries can bear it, but South Africa itself can't stand it. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Japan and Germany had an advantage, with Japan already having the upper hand in the skies at least in South Africa, while Germany had complete control of Europe except for Britain. After all, the United States and the Old Continent are separated by the Atlantic, and the projection efficiency of power is far inferior to that of Germany and Japan, and no matter how strong the national strength is, it will be discounted. But they were never able to convince the Allies to accept defeat.

Germany and Japan have also made several peace attempts, but the conditions offered by the United States and Britain are too high, and in this case, the two sides can only continue to fight.
