#264 - Chapter 264: The undefeated myth is shattered, North America is in trouble! Did something hap
Oahu, Hawaii.
Headquarters of the Pacific Fleet, North America.
Thomas, sipping his coffee, heard the urgent telegram and his hand shook, spilling coffee all over the floor.
The Stennis carrier group was completely crushed by North Korea?
Nearly 20 fighter jets crashed into the sea!
The most outrageous thing is... the entire carrier group is collectively out of commission!
Ten minutes later.
A group of senior generals discussed animatedly.
"Enough!"
Thomas's face was livid: "Regardless of who is supporting them from behind, the fact is that North Korea did it, so... what are we going to do?"
What followed were various suggestions.
Someone suggested landing directly on North Korean soil, but Thomas scolded him severely.
Land warfare?
Did they want to fight another war with China?
Out of their minds!
"Let's nuke them!" someone suggested.
"..."
Instantly.
The conference room fell silent.
Compared to the political arena, the military is mostly composed of hawks, but...
Hawks are not fools.
On the contrary, military hawks are much more pragmatic in their thinking than politicians.
Moreover, even as the commander-in-chief, Thomas couldn't make such a major decision on his own.
"Do you think the Polar Bear doesn't have nuclear weapons? Being dismembered doesn't mean it has turned from a Polar Bear into a Panda!" Thomas snapped coldly.
In the end, they couldn't come to any real conclusion and could only pass the intelligence on to Washington.
What could Washington do?
Retaliate or not?
And how to retaliate?
Actually, these are all secondary matters.
First, they had to find a way to get the carrier group back, instead of letting it sit idle!
"Block the news!"
The President, in the White House, looked grim, and gritted his teeth: "No conflict! No downed warplanes! No damaged warships!"
"I don't want this to get out!"
This is the key!
Since the collapse of the Polar Bear, North America has firmly held the title of the world's strongest, far surpassing the second-place country.
It can be said.
North America is the only superpower in the world.
Once this news leaks, it will be a devastating blow to the authority that North America has established!
What will the allies think?
What will other countries think?
When you are strong enough, so strong that you are invincible globally, even those hostile countries can only bow their heads and dare not resist.
But now...
This incident is tantamount to announcing to the world: North America is not as strong as imagined, and the self-proclaimed invincible carrier group was easily defeated and suffered a devastating blow—the entire fleet is immobilized.
Which country did it?
It doesn't matter!
What matters is that North America's myth of invincibility has been completely shattered.
More and more hostile countries will openly retaliate.
After all, North America can be defeated!
...
It must be admitted that North America's control over global public opinion has reached an incredible level.
The entire carrier group is out of commission, yet such a big thing has not been leaked.
North America对外宣称, the group is sailing freely in the East Sea and has been temporarily suspended due to technical failures, awaiting repair support.
North Korea remains silent.
China is even less likely to say anything, feigning complete ignorance.
In secret.
According to the previous agreement, China fulfilled its promise.
Industrial system-related technology!
Partial military industrial technology!
And grain.
Is secretly being delivered to 'friends'.
Of course, it is impossible to deliver everything at once.
What is being exchanged for these things is continuous scapegoating.
You've only been a scapegoat once, how can we give you everything?
What if you go back on your word after getting everything?
Whether it's technology or grain, it will be given in batches, slowly.
This blame.
Must let the Kim family continue to bear it!
Not to mention the near future, when North America repairs the warships, the MiG-21 will have to be dispatched again, won't it have to bear the blame again?
On the other side.
Chen Hao arrived at the airport.
He stayed in Yanjing for two days, wasn't his wife still in Jinling?
He had to go back as soon as possible to be with his wife!
Who knew that as soon as he arrived at the airport, he received a call from his wife.
"Returning to Shanghai?"
Chen Hao was dumbfounded: "Qingmo, I've already finished my business, and I'm preparing to return to Jinling. Don't be angry, wait for me to return..."
"I'm not angry, I really have to go back."
Xia Qingmo explained.
She went to Jinling on the fourth day of the first lunar month.
Logically speaking.
The fourth day of the first lunar month is the time to pay New Year visits to relatives.
Her parents had already recognized Chen Hao, and when she proposed to go to Jinling to find her boyfriend, her parents finally agreed.
At the same time.
Her parents put the New Year visits on hold, waiting for her to return home.
Now she had to go back to pay New Year visits with her parents.
Hearing her explanation, Chen Hao's heart stirred.
His wife was going back to Shanghai.
Wouldn't he still be paying New Year visits everywhere if he went back to Jinling?
No fun!
"Okay! See you in Shanghai." He chuckled.
"What?"
"Wait for my call."
Chen Hao hung up the phone and immediately called his mother, claiming that he had finished his business, but he was going to Shanghai to accompany his girlfriend.
What was the result?
Hearing that her son was going to accompany his daughter-in-law, Li Lan agreed without hesitation.
It didn't matter that her son didn't go to pay New Year visits with them.
As long as he kept his daughter-in-law happy.
What Li Lan didn't know was that her daughter-in-law had become a shield.
Of course, Chen Hao wasn't entirely lying: going back to Shanghai early would indeed give him time to accompany his wife, and secondly, he didn't want to visit relatives, and thirdly, he had to prepare technical materials—which could be said to be killing three birds with one stone for him.
...
Unknowingly, a few days passed.
He didn't spend much time with his wife these few days.
Xia Qingmo followed her parents everywhere to pay New Year visits after returning from Jinling, only occasionally meeting in the evening.
Perfect!
He had plenty of time.
Chen Hao spent the whole day holed up in the small courtyard, preparing a series of technical materials.
LNG ship.
Improved version of the Type 055 destroyer.
Previously, he had only given the most difficult part, that part of the core technology data, and the entire ship's technology was even more massive.
Not just these?
Whether for civilian or military use, there were still a large number of projects waiting for him to complete.
For example.
In addition to the ship itself, the Type 055 destroyer also had a very important thing.
Shipboard helicopter!
He hadn't even started working on it yet.
"Phew..."
In the evening.
Having just completed a technical drawing, Chen Hao let out a long sigh of relief.
Compared to the complete technical data, there was still a lot missing.
At this moment.
The phone suddenly rang.
"President Chen, this is Zhang Ling..." The voice on the other end of the phone was anxious.
"Brother Zhang, what's wrong?"
Zhang Ling.
Academician Huang's son.
Back in Nanning, he didn't allow his mother to leave with Chen Hao, but was eventually poached by Chen Hao together.
"My mother, she... doesn't rest even during the Spring Festival, and she's still working day and night!"
"Just now, her cervical spondylosis flared up and she fainted!"
Zhang Ling's voice even had a hint of sobbing.
Chen Hao made a bet with him.
Claiming that within two years, he would develop a surgical robot to completely cure his mother's illness.
Otherwise.
He would let his mother return to his hometown and never stop her.
But now...
His mother joined the chip design team and worked hard with Hu Wei.
Hu Wei was only in his early thirties, young and strong, okay?
How old was his mother?
He was very worried that his mother's body would collapse before the two-year period!
His mother was stubborn, and he couldn't stop her.
"I'm going over right away!" Chen Hao quickly got up: "Wait for me!"
In the previous life.
Academician Huang also formed the Loongson team with Hu Wei, but it started from scratch.
In this life.
Chen Hao provided full technical support.
The difficulty of research and development was bound to be much lower, and the speed of research and development far exceeded that of the previous life.
The workload was smaller.
He thought that Academician Huang would be much more relaxed, but he never thought... she was still so dedicated!
How could this continue?
