Great Power Technology

When the food war was brewing but had not yet taken shape, another piece of news suddenly aroused public opinion in the country.

The international military competition that lasted for more than ten days finally came to an end.

In this competition involving the navy, army and air force, participants and equipment from China won the largest number of medals in history. The most eye-catching thing was the public display of Chinese warships in the sea-to-shore shooting event. New electromagnetic gun.

The effective range of this electromagnetic gun is far more than two hundred kilometers, and its accuracy exceeds the main guns of all participating warships. It won the gold medal in this event with an overwhelming advantage. However, more than 100 countries that were originally full of confidence in participating only just received The medals in the traditional advantageous events left the field sadly.

This result was beyond everyone's expectation and was in sharp contrast to the opponent's attitude during the pre-match interview.

"We are confident that we can complete the preparations for the competition within the limited time and defeat our opponents in the event to prove our strength."

"Of course, our soldiers are of course the best. They are much better than other opponents in terms of combat quality and training."

"Equipment? Do you still need to question this? Who on this planet has more advanced equipment than us?"

"Yes, we'll be open for tours - there's no admission fee, it's a great opportunity to take advantage of us."

This is what a participating country said in a public interview with the media before the game. However, the reality was completely different from what he expected.

Not only do they lag behind in terms of equipment, but they also lag far behind China in terms of the combat quality of their personnel.

The most prominent one is the reconnaissance vanguard project. In a battlefield environment obscured by electromagnetic signals, their scouts took twice as long to complete their intended combat objectives.

Their target is China, but ironically, China's target is not them.

Even their original plan to open a tour of several advanced warships and aircraft carriers fell through in the end.

Because no one goes to see them at all.

More than two hundred participating countries queued up to visit the electromagnetic gun. Each country only had a few minutes to visit. Some people were willing to wait for hours in the rest area for these few minutes, but they just didn't want to stop by to see the ugly Zhu. Mwalt class destroyer.

Such a sense of disparity made the commander-in-chief of this fleet feel a little disappointed.

On the other side of the sea, the Office of Strategic Intelligence Analysis.

Johnson looked helplessly at the results of the competition in front of him and said to the officers in front of him:

"So, since when did our individual combat effectiveness become so weak? Marine Corps scouts actually get lost? Are you kidding me?"

".This is just an accident. Our Marine Corps has almost never fought in such a snowfield environment. With a serious lack of experience, coupled with electromagnetic shielding requirements, it is actually normal for us to get lost."

"Actually, out of more than two hundred participating teams, only a dozen or so completed the combat mission. This year's schedule is too difficult."

"While it may seem exaggerated to spend twice as long, it's really not a big difference - if we can train specifically for this type of combat, two months - or even a month, we can reach their level.”

Johnson shook his head, his expression indifferent.

"What you said is just an excuse. The Chinese Marine Corps has not gone through this kind of training. Most of their training is even for landing on low-dimensional islands. How did they do it?"

".I heard their Marines are not real Marines, but elite personnel picked specifically to compete."

"Another excuse. Didn't we choose before we entered the competition?"

The officer was finally speechless. After a moment of silence, he spoke:

"Okay. I admit that we did lose this competition, but the competition is just a competition after all. In actual combat, our advantage over them is still crushing."

"Really?"

Johnson looked at the other party with mocking eyes.

"Why did I hear that before the game started, our fleet had already had a battle with their fleet, and we were almost completely defeated?"

"That's only when both sides are undefended!"

Johnson let out a long sigh. He naturally knew that what the other party said was an objective fact, but in this situation, he really couldn't say anything to comfort him.

The purpose of participating in the international military competition was to show off their muscles in a more peaceful and gentle way in the world. However, they did not expect that there was a rabbit secretly training their muscles to be even bigger than them.

Yes, this time they also achieved second place in the team, but who will remember second place?

This is a terrible sign.

As the officer said, from a professional point of view, no one would take such a military competition seriously, because compared with actual battlefield operations, the scope of the projects in the competition is too narrow and cannot reflect the true nature of the battlefield. The strength is too limited.

However, this competition is not just for professionals. In this world, there are many forces that are closely watching the changes in their own and the opponent's strength. As long as they think that their own side has any signs of decline, they will Jump into each other’s arms without hesitation.

Just now, he had received news that a certain country had canceled its intention to purchase F-35s from its own country, and was instead preparing to negotiate with the other party to introduce some new drones, medium-range missiles, and anti-missile systems to achieve the lowest cost. meet their operational needs.

And this is just the beginning.

If there are more military comparisons in the future and our side loses more of its advantageous position, then those forces that are waiting and watching will leave one after another.

Thinking of this, he said:

"Let's stop talking about the military competition. Our previous preparations were indeed insufficient, and we can't blame you."

"However, because of the defeat in the competition, we did not achieve the goal we set. Therefore, my suggestion is that we need to show our strength in other ways."

"Our early operations in Africa have been very effective - especially for individual exoskeletons. We have received a huge amount of international attention and praise, and orders have begun to be implemented one by one."

"Based on this successful experience, I think we need to organize some more similar activities, and the scale and intensity should be slightly increased."

After hearing his words, the officer frowned and nodded, and then suggested:

"Then this time it is best for the navy. Otherwise, we arrange a unified exercise of the three major aircraft carrier formations? You know, this kind of coordination of the three aircraft carrier battle groups is very rare, and it also has a strong pressure. It is very important for demonstrating the navy. In terms of strength, it’s actually the perfect fit.”

Johnson nodded slightly and replied:

"This is indeed a good approach and a very intuitive comparison."

"We have three aircraft carriers in the Pacific Ocean alone, while the opponent only has two aircraft carriers that are even one generation behind us. This should give our unsteady allies stronger confidence. Okay, let's do this."

The officer nodded and was about to report to his superiors over the phone to obtain final approval, but just as he picked up the phone, there was a knock on the door of the conference room.

"Come in!"

Johnson shouted.

Then, the door of the conference room was opened, and a nervous intelligence officer held up a stack of documents and handed them directly to Johnson.

Looking at the document in his hand, Johnson's face gradually became ugly, and his fingers even trembled slightly.

"What's wrong?"

The officer saw his expression and asked quickly.

"See for yourself."

Johnson threw the document in his hand in front of him, and the officer quickly opened the document.

Then, his expression suddenly turned gloomy.

too fast.

Their judgment may have been wrong again.

What was originally expected to take at least several months to happen has just become a reality.

The document in front of him is a set of satellite pictures. The lower left corner of the picture is marked with numbers representing longitude and latitude, and the location represented by those numbers is Shanghai!

And in the satellite pictures, a huge ship is sailing away from its home port!

June 21st.

China's 003 aircraft carrier officially launched into sailing!
