Great Power Technology

Across the sea, the Office of Strategic Intelligence Analysis.

Johnson listened to the analyst's report with a disappointed face. He had lost interest in the specific content of what the other person said, and had only one thought in his mind:

"We failed."

Yes, according to the plan he submitted before, this three-carrier formation sailing activity was supposed to be a demonstration to show off one's own military strength. But unexpectedly, in the face of the opponent's determined fighting spirit, the group of officials actually made a retreat. decision.

This retreat means that our country has retreated from its position as the world's largest military power.

And when can we crawl back?

Nowhere in sight.

Why retreat? Does Rabbit really dare to take action?

It was exactly the same situation last time on the sea further south, and it is still the same this time, and the next time... there will be no next time.

Once it happens next time, I'm afraid it will be the time when our side is desperate.

To make matters worse, just a few days after our own aircraft carrier formation retreated, the opponent released a series of training videos on BCI-controlled mechanical exoskeletons. The visual impact of these videos was far less than the one we had released, but in From the perspective of professionals, its performance far exceeds that of our own.

They have what their own side has, and they also have what their own side does not have.

Helmet mounted fire control aiming system? Yes, it can track 32 targets at the same time, including armored targets, air targets and ground humanoid targets.

Mechanically integrated weapon stabilization system? Yes, it can be linked with the fire control radar to perform automatic aiming to a certain extent, a living soldier 76.

Powerful mounting capabilities? Not to mention this, that rabbit is known for its phobia of lack of firepower, how could it be lagging behind in this regard.

Movement flexibility? The reason why BCI is called BCI is because it is controlled directly through neural electrical signals. The movements of the exoskeleton are completely synchronized with the movements of the body. Even if one's own force feedback control is optimized to the extreme, it will never be able to keep up with the opponent's flexibility.

Individual soldier data link system? Not only that, their data links are even integrated with air and space, and can even be operated for satellite strikes.

In addition to these, they also have things that their own side does not have, such as longer battery life, stronger strength, and more exaggerated explosive power. In the demonstration video, the opponent's soldiers even showed how to easily jump onto the battlefield with a full load. The operation of the one-and-a-half-meter high wall - and judging from the other party's explanation, the reason why it can only jump to one and a half meters is not because the exoskeleton can only jump to one and a half meters, but because the wall is only one and a half meters high. .

No one knows exactly how high it can jump.

But no matter what, this exoskeleton has improved the quality of individual soldiers to an almost terrifying level. With a load of nearly 80 kilograms, it can still complete actions that elite soldiers can do without any load at all. These people If put on the battlefield to form a light infantry regiment, the combat effectiveness of the entire unit will immediately soar.

The release of this video caused intense discussions among professional military personnel. Although the shooting style of the video was still as rustic and unprofessional as the other party's official media, the amount of information contained in it was enough to They were terrified.

To what extent have these Eastern rabbits developed, and how confident are they, that they will fight back mercilessly every time their own side makes a move?

Forget about the confrontation at sea, now even a single exoskeleton of our own is not allowed to shine. In less than two months, they have taken out their similar equipment and slapped them in the face.

I really don’t want to save any face for myself.

The analyst in front of him was still reporting on the latest progress. Johnson raised his hand to interrupt, and then said:

"Needless to say, the confrontation is meaningless. Failure is failure. This is a result we did not expect at all."

"Now, we have to focus on food, because this is our only chance to make a comeback."

"If there is another problem with this layout, then we will lose all our advantages. No matter how hard we try in the future, we will only be able to achieve balance with the opponent. This is something I will never allow to happen."

"I see!"

The analyst nodded quickly, but there was a hint of vague disappointment in his eyes.

If you don't allow it, won't it happen?

Since you took office, it seems that every decision you have made has not made good progress, right? Even if the opponent is indeed too strong, they will not lose even their biggest advantage like they are now.

if it were me

The analyst coughed slightly, recovered his thoughts and reported:

"At present, our layout in Yindu has been fully launched. According to the plan, we have purchased 60% of the wheat stocks on the market and controlled most of the supply channels of downstream manufacturers."

"After this, we can control the supply of flour at any time and push up the price of downstream food."

"When the time comes, Yindu's local suppliers and Yindu officials will push for wheat purchases at all costs, because they want to eat, but they have no grain of their own."

"In this way, we can push the domestic market of Yindu to an extreme peak, and then pass this peak to the international market in turn."

"Then it is equivalent to using the help of Yindu officials to drive up the price of wheat in the international market at a very small cost."

"Of course, we will also take action in the capital field, and the price of wheat futures will further push up. By that time, spot futures prices will overlap, and the entire international market will fluctuate violently."

"Such fluctuations are definitely not something that China alone can withstand. No matter how much they have in stock, they will not be able to supply the global food shortage that will occur, and they will not be able to single-handedly make up for the global population and food imbalance."

"At that time, no matter what kind of propaganda they carry out, it will be impossible to quell domestic panic, and we will add the last straw to their fears - a large-scale wheat epidemic."

Hearing this, Johnson nodded slightly, and then said:

"I have two questions."

"First, does a global food gap really exist?"

"Second, does the wheat infectious disease you call exist? What is it?"

The analyst paused and answered:

"Let me answer your first question first."

"First of all, there is a global food gap. According to our estimates, based on normal food consumption standards, the global food gap is about 0.2% to 0.3%. This gap has caused 180 million people around the world to fall into near hunger. However, the state of starvation is not a complete gap, it just means that these people do not have enough to eat."

"Through humanitarian assistance, loans, non-cultivation food acquisition methods, etc., we can actually control the food gap within a relatively stable range every year. Some people have no food to eat, and some people do not have enough to eat, but The vast majority of people will live fine."

"However, such a situation will not help us push up food prices and trigger a food crisis, so what we have to do is to expand the food gap to more than 0.3%, with the goal of expanding it to about 0.5%."

"Then we have to use various propaganda methods to convince everyone that the food gap has reached 2%."

"Finally, with the help of the real gap and what we call the 'psychological gap', a wave of grain hoarding was triggered, which caused the amount of grain that could be uniformly allocated globally, especially in China, to plummet, in order to achieve the goal of truly pushing up grain prices."

After listening to his words, Johnson nodded slightly and continued to ask:

"But the price of wheat has now increased by nearly 35%. Isn't this still what we expected?"

"Of course not, because everyone knows that this 35% price increase is only caused by the short-term mismatch between supply and demand, and their confidence in food stability has not been affected."

"What we have to do is make them believe that in the future, for a long time to come, we will face a permanent 2% food gap."

"That's really the way to hit them."

"Understood."

Johnson silently wrote something on the paper, and then continued to ask:

"What about wheat infectious diseases? Are there any?"

"No, China has always been very cautious in preventing and controlling this - but we will make one up."

"What about the evidence?"

"Hire a few farmers who want to make money, shoot some videos, ask some experts to learn to speak, and show some specious evidence. We don't need professionals to believe it, we just need ordinary people to believe it."

"Understood."

Johnson closed his notebook.

This is not the first time they have done something like this.

They are very skilled.

However, he still had a bad premonition in his heart.
