After a crazy night, Catherine woke up early the next morning, and then she took a shower.

So much for temporary leisure, Catherine still has some things to finish.

That's the report to the Pentagon.

Catherine got out of the water, dried herself off, picked up her stockings, put on her bra, and put on her sweater.

I have to say that the clothes made by Lisa are of very good quality and will not make people feel uncomfortable. And because they are tailor-made, the clothes are neither too big nor too small, so they fit perfectly.

Catherine had many questions on her mind.

Catherine's plan cannot be too expensive, at least the budget handed over to the Pentagon must satisfy them.

Although it is for the Pentagon, in fact, Catherine's budget is mainly aimed at the U.S. Congress. They are always trying their best to find ways to reduce the budget to the Pentagon, and try every means to get the Pentagon to veto potentially high expenditures.

Plans, even ordinary plans, are sometimes met with protest by them.

Congress, which has been thinking about saving money, is a headache for Catherine. In fact, there is a reason for Congress to do this. The answer lies in the Pentagon.

——Because they are too good at burning money.

It has to be said that the number of experts in the Pentagon far exceeds the number of experts.

The simplest example: the m2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle. This is a complete joke, but the Pentagon has fully equipped it with the army.

The m2 was originally an upgraded version of the m113, but the result was——

A certain general said it should be capable of anti-tank, so he wanted to install anti-tank missiles.

Someone said that it needed to be able to support infantry, so a machine gun was installed.

Someone said that the rapid reconnaissance vehicle project I advocated has been cancelled, so the vehicle must be used for reconnaissance and must be high enough to place reconnaissance equipment.

So they finally created a device that was equipped with 8 missiles, 2,000 rounds of machine-gun shells, and was very fast. The research and development cost was several times more than the original.

But it was originally able to hold 15 infantrymen, but now it can only hold 6 people. Moreover, the armor is pierced by a hit, and the fuel tank explodes by a hit. The armor, which is said to be able to withstand anti-tank missiles, exploded with one shot - completely shattered.

However, what awaits American soldiers is not improved equipment or other more optimized equipment and tactics.

But one sentence - just get used to it.

Of course, the Pentagon wanted to continue burning money, but Congress refused to let it go. Therefore, the US military later had no choice but to go for a ride in the cup of M2.

In short, the relationship between the Pentagon and the U.S. Congress is almost such a funny state. Catherine sometimes finds it funny.

At the same time, Catherine also needs some special ideas that can attract the attention of the Pentagon.

Americans and Soviets are both crazy now.

In the 1950s, the Americans had a plan for a nuclear bomber, which was still feasible. The Soviet Union also had a plan for a nuclear-proof four-track tank.

All the technological ideas in this era are crazy.

Catherine just wants to make her ideas as bold as possible within a reasonable framework.

She conceived a plan that she thought was pretty good.

Relieved, Catherine turned on the TV and watched the news.

However, some of the current TV news programs are not as real and fast as newspapers, which makes Catherine a little dissatisfied. Maybe she can change this in the future?

Catherine shook her head.

Even if she has so much energy, she is not a workaholic, and she cannot have less time for leisure and entertainment.

She picked up the newspaper.

"Brezhnev becomes leader of the Soviet Union?!"

By the way, on October 14, 1964, Khrushchev suffered a coup and stepped down.

Although Catherine didn't know much about the Soviet Union, she still had some impressions of some things.

It was Brezhnev who brought the Soviet Union to its final glory, but it was also he who brought the Soviet Union to its decline.

There was once a saying that "no one can survive on wages", which was Brezhnev's famous saying. At the same time, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan and launched a deeper confrontation with the United States, which was also what he did.

Of course, Gorbachev was able to disintegrate the Soviet Union. In fact, he was considered a top performer.

No matter what, at least this brought the Cold War to its peak and Bronx came to power, which was good for himself.

Catherine is analyzing.

During the Cold War, the United States was also dragged down by the Soviet Union. However, the United States implemented the economic transformation of transforming into a financial country. This is still the case until the 21st century. However, this approach, in a sense, greatly weakened the United States' deep-seated

, war potential in total war.

But even so, the United States is still very interested in the needs of the military industry and its control of the military field.

In particular, the Pentagon will be more keen to burn money and be able to exclude Congress on the grounds of US-Soviet relations...

Catherine thought about whether her plan needed to be changed, but after thinking about it, she picked up another plan.

In her previous life, Catherine had also been a "puppet military fan" for a period of time, but she knew that if she wanted to get involved in the military industry, like ordinary industries such as tanks and fighter jets, it would be absolutely impossible.

But what if you find another way?

Maybe I can give them the concept of in-depth electronic warfare? And hackers?

Hehe, what a good idea is this?

With unlimited financial investment from the U.S. government, Catherine could even guarantee that she would bring the United States into the Internet age in advance in the 1980s and use Pentium 4 in the 1990s!

As a supplier to the Pentagon, you can definitely make more money than in the civilian industry.

You know, although Intel is a powerful company in later generations, Northrop Grumman produces more chips than Intel, and this company is a military company!

Catherine thought about it and decided to go to the company to check Intel's progress. They must come up with a product as soon as possible.

Maybe she had gone too far, her friends were still sleeping at the moment, and Elsa was no exception, so Catherine was just escorted by the bodyguards, then said a few words to the servants, and left.

When I arrived at Intel, it was already 10 o'clock in the morning, and the production department had already started working.

"Sanders, how is the current progress of our scientific research team?"

"The plan for the microcontroller is going very well, but I think our microcontroller will only have practical value after the z80 is produced. Before that, I think it is completely unfeasible even if it is produced."

Catherine nodded.

"But I need a product that can be demonstrated. At least we can let the Pentagon see our technology. Otherwise, if we are empty talk, no matter how good our words are, the final plan will most likely not be our responsibility. At that time, we will not be responsible for the final plan.

, we are about to lose everything."

Sanders nodded.

Everything is being planned, Catherine is taking action.
