#488 - Chapter 488: Re-export trade exposed! The first batch of fighter planes arrived? Disassembly!
Jiaoda faculty and staff residential area.
In the small courtyard.
Having just finished dinner, Xia Qingmo was washing dishes in the kitchen, while Chen Hao was sweeping the floor and wiping the table.
It had been over two months since they last met.
Although they had seen each other a few days ago, both sets of parents were present. After Chen Hao finished eating at Xia's house, he made an excuse to return to the research institute—in short, the young couple hadn't had a chance to be alone until now.
"Chen Hao..." the girl called him from the kitchen.
"Yeah."
Chen Hao turned his head and smiled at her.
Sunshine.
Brilliant!
"Go take a shower, I'll take care of the rest..." the girl said, her cheeks flushed.
"No need, it's almost done."
"I bought a new nightgown, can you help me take a look at it later?"
Damn!
Chen Hao's eyes lit up.
He dropped the broom and headed straight upstairs: "Wife, I'm going to take a shower first!"
Xia Qingmo pursed her lips and smiled shyly.
This was their time for love and affection.
She finished washing the dishes first, and after sweeping the floor and wiping the tables and chairs, she simply took a shower on the first floor.
She changed into the newly bought nightgown.
Went upstairs.
Huff...
When she walked into the bedroom, she found Chen Hao, wearing only his shorts, lying on the bed, already fast asleep.
The girl was stunned.
She inexplicably felt a little heartache.
He must have been exhausted these past two months, right?
Finally having some free time.
He must have really wanted to get a good night's sleep, right?
But still...
Picking her up from work, returning to this small courtyard, making dinner together, doing housework together.
"We have a lot of time together."
She suddenly smiled softly: "You'll always finish being busy."
Chen Hao slept soundly, a rare occurrence.
While he was fast asleep, the world was not at peace.
India was formulating the 'Eastward Advance Plan,' not really intending to provoke war, after all, China was not a small country.
But at least...
They had to gain some advantage at the border!
And let the world know something through a local conflict.
Today is no longer the India of 40 years ago!
India was preparing to stir up trouble.
North America was currently fighting.
White House.
It was morning now.
As soon as the president entered the office, political and military leaders closely followed and surrounded him.
Five days ago.
North America ordered 30 Shakyamuni fighter jets at a unit price of 500 million US dollars.
The seller was very trustworthy.
Last night, the first batch arrived!
"Has the take-off location been locked down?" the president asked in a low voice.
Individual weapons can be transported by cargo ship.
Fighter jets are different.
The delivery method was to fly over from the 'place of origin'.
North America not only openly bought fighter jets, but also secretly tried to find the place of origin.
Satellites were shot down?
They could be re-launched.
Admittedly, it was impossible to build such a large satellite network as before in a short time, but ten or eight high-resolution surveillance satellites were easy to launch.
"North Korea!"
A NASA executive took out a surveillance image: "The first batch of 5 fighter jets has been confirmed to have taken off from North Korea, and landed in Hokkaido, Japan, with our permission—the delivery procedure was handled in Japan."
Japan is North America's dog.
After completing the handover in Japan, flying to the North American mainland was simple.
The problem was...
Was North Korea selling equipment to the world?
Absolutely impossible!
"It's either China or Russia!" the president grumbled angrily.
"..."
A group of senior officials was speechless.
Wasn't that obvious?
North America had been hit by pulse weapons.
Europe had also been hit.
Nearly all 20,000 mercenaries had been wiped out!
The problem was...
They still didn't know which one it was.
Originally, at the last meeting of North American leaders, they planned to impose sanctions on both countries at the same time, but before it officially started, the plane crash into the building occurred—the North American economy was severely damaged, and its global prestige plummeted.
To maintain prestige and hegemony, they decided to launch a war on terror.
As a result, the war on terror encountered fatal resistance.
They claimed to be steadily advancing, and other countries thought they were evenly matched, but in fact, North America was at a disadvantage.
Otherwise.
Why would they knowingly suffer such a big loss and still buy fighter jets at sky-high prices?
Now, they were in a dilemma!
Unable to even deal with the bearded men, how could they have the confidence to start multiple wars and deal with China and Russia?
The sanctions proposal could only be temporarily shelved.
"Mr. President!"
CIA Director Smith stepped forward: "There are several important pieces of news that must be reported to you!"
"What news?" The president had a bad feeling.
"China has launched a large number of infrastructure projects in a short period of time, with extremely astonishing total investment!"
"Don't be ridiculous!"
The president said sarcastically: "China is so poor, I heard they are still eating mice, how can they have money to launch a large number of infrastructure projects? Smith, is the intelligence wrong?"
"Russia, the Philippines, Myanmar, and other countries are simultaneously importing iron ore, steel, timber, and other materials from Europe and the United States," Smith said solemnly.
Immediately.
He presented the investigation data.
The president quickly read through it, and his face became increasingly ugly.
Multiple countries were importing construction materials, but the importing countries had no infrastructure projects.
Conversely...
China was frantically engaged in infrastructure construction!
It is worth mentioning that the countries importing large quantities of materials were all located around China's borders.
"Re-export trade..."
The president immediately understood.
Bang!
He slammed the data on the table: "China! It was China that took 2.9 trillion US dollars from our stock market!"
North American finance suffered a fatal blow.
China, on the other hand, used North America's money to import large quantities of materials for construction.
How hateful!
Of course, it's not that China didn't want to hide it.
This kind of thing can't be hidden!
Using re-export trade can only deceive North America for a short time, and exposure is only a matter of time.
Wasn't China frantically engaged in construction?
Anyone who wasn't blind could see it.
The problem was...
Where did you get so much money?
Also!
Countries that were on good terms with China were importing materials from various countries. At first, perhaps no one noticed, but once the countries buying the materials did not consume these materials... where did the materials worth trillions of dollars go?
"We must sanction China!" Secretary of State Warren said angrily.
The black hand selling top-notch equipment hadn't been found.
But the one who was fleecing North America had been found!
"Sanction your sister!"
The president roared: "They are all basic materials, not high-tech products, they are available everywhere in the world—if we don't sell them, other countries will sell them, besides..."
The war in the Middle East was in a stalemate, and North America was on the unfavorable side.
If they couldn't even deal with local organizations, North American hegemony and prestige would plummet.
Those dogs...
No!
Would the allies still listen to North America?
In short.
They must deal with the bearded men in the Middle East in a short period of time so that North America can rebuild its prestige.
With prestige, they could free up their hands to summon allies and impose comprehensive sanctions on China.
"Has the first batch of fighter jets arrived in the mainland?" the president asked quickly.
"Arrived!"
A military leader nodded.
"Good!"
The president said smugly: "No one understands airplanes better than me! All the fools in the world think that we bought Shakyamuni fighter jets, and we can only be evenly matched with the enemy, but they forget... we have fifth-generation fighters!"
In terms of stealth, maneuverability, and other performance, the F22 absolutely crushes the J-10C.
The core lies in the fact that no matter how much the J-10C is improved, it cannot change one fact.
Medium-sized fourth-generation fighter!
Non-stealth!
Its strength lies in the electronic warfare pod.
Then...
Several senior officials immediately understood and showed extremely excited expressions.
