Chapter 195 F-35’s big joke

"Vietnam maliciously attacked our unmanned surveying and mapping aircraft, interfered with normal marine scientific research work, and caused heavy losses. We hope that Vietnam can respond positively and handle it properly!"

Soon, reports about what happened on the sea spread quickly, and after seeing the reports, Chen Nian was simply shocked.

How can you still do this?!

If Vietnam's sending "fishermen" to openly harass and provoke people in the operating waters was a low-level act before, then the military's current tactics are beyond recognition.

What is an unmanned surveying and mapping aircraft? What is normal marine scientific research work?

Aren’t you going to play the “legal principle” card with us?

Well, we won’t accept your card, but we can play our own cards based on your ideas!

No matter how there are territorial disputes, you guys can't be so overbearing that they won't even allow maritime scientific research projects, right?

How can there be such a truth in the world?

Even Americans can’t say that, right?

Our surveying and mapping drone was flying fine, but you insisted on knocking it down with a boat. Shouldn't you pay compensation?

As for the damage to your own ship, what does it have to do with us?

What? You mean fishermen? They fell into the water, we rescued them and then gave them a job. Isn’t that too much?

What kind of slave labor, what kind of monkey slave, how can such a thing happen?

That's just a joke made by some unqualified netizens on the Internet. You won't take it seriously, right?

Don't take it seriously, we still have to discuss things on a "legal" level.

Chen Nian looked at the report and browsed through major forums on the Internet, especially the discussions on Tieba, which had gradually emerged. He couldn't help but sigh, Tieba this year was indeed the most powerful.

The Tieba forum in later generations that only makes jokes, has a bad mouth, and attacks everywhere has lost most of its essence.

However, in this series of public opinions, he vaguely smelled something familiar.

Just like the previous report that exposed the media offensive, the taste is very correct.

It's probably another good thing Li wanted to do.

This guy is really good at this.

In less than two weeks, the direction of public opinion on the Internet, which had hit rock bottom, was unexpectedly reversed.

And the most important thing is that this "twisting" is not just a "twisting victory".

Not to mention the heavy damage suffered by Western media, more importantly, a large number of netizens who had just come into contact with the Internet received an impressive education from this incident.

They began to realize that sometimes, no matter how trustworthy the information on the Internet seems, it cannot be completely believed.

The Internet, a new information medium, and its "authority deification effect" were ruthlessly broken before it was even established.

Perhaps, for a long time to come, or even in the lives of these people, every time they want to follow the trend and make certain remarks, set the pace, and go with the flow, they will recall the lesson learned from this time.

They can't help but wonder, is it themselves or someone else who sets the pace?

I think I am rational and superior, but is it possible that I am the fool?

With this idea in mind, their behavioral logic will also change to some extent.

I'm so envious.

Chen Nian sighed slightly.

There was no such good thing in my time.

The education of netizens actually did not officially begin until more than ten years later, and by that time, most opinions on the Internet had developed to the point where they were almost uncontrollable.

This forced the officials to adopt the most extreme strategy of injuring the enemy by one thousand and damaging themselves by eight hundred.

Although effective, it is obviously not the optimal choice.

Following this idea, Chen Nian's thoughts couldn't help but drift away.

In the final analysis, the crux of the problem still lies in education.

If the basic education level can catch up quickly, many problems will be solved easily.

It seems that when the military industry gradually matures in the future, I should gradually turn my energy to this major issue related to the national economy and people's livelihood.

He closed the browser pages one by one, and finally refreshed the website of a certain foreign media. Just like this, a report popped up and jumped to his eyes.

"The F-35 fighter jet successfully made its first flight, becoming the world's first STOVL fourth-generation aircraft with mature technology."

???

A series of question marks popped up in Chen Nian's head.

Good guys, you guys are so fucking shameless.

According to your statement, our J-20B is an immature product?

He clicked on the report. The English page was not difficult for him to read, but as he looked at it, his brows furrowed.

This report actually rarely disclosed some performance parameter information of the fighter jet.

The most important one is that "the rear combat radius reaches 500 nautical miles under vertical take-off conditions."

WTF?

Do you know what you are talking about?

Vertical takeoff! Combat radius! 500! Still nautical miles!

According to his memory, the first-generation F-35 still used the F119 engine, which is almost the same as the J-20B. It is already thankful that it can reach 200 kilometers. Why don’t you just give me 500 for this thing?

Only a ghost can believe it!

You know, at this point in time, the United States has not yet developed a variable cycle engine!

This bullshit is wrong.

No one in China would believe it, right?

He quickly returned to the military forum, and sure enough he saw that there was already a discussion about this matter on the pinned post.

At one glance, he felt relieved.

Everyone is indeed not a fool.

"The Yankees are really anxious this time. In order to regain some face, they dare to brag about anything they have to say."

"The fourth-generation STOVL aircraft has a combat radius of 500 kilometers. Why don't you say that what you built is a Star Destroyer?"

"It's indeed a bit funny. Is NASA unprofessional or the media is unprofessional? How did such a false report come out?"

"People upstairs, don't say too harshly, what if there really is someone there?"

"Pull it down, now we are at the top level in the aviation, military and aerospace fields. Even our J-20B only dares to say 200 kilometers. How can they have the nerve to say 500?"

“I’ll correct it again, it’s 500 nautical miles.”

"The biggest joke of the year was born. Do you think they will deploy F-35s to the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier in advance after seeing the outside reaction?"

"If that really happens, our J-20B should also pass by. Don't tell me, I'm quite looking forward to it."

Chen Nian looked through all the posts, but couldn't find even one support.

Even the most crooked public opinion holds the view that "the reports may be biased, but the performance of the new generation fighter aircraft cannot be doubted."

Chen Nian was a little confused.

Doesn’t NASA realize how stupid this report is?

Or are they doing it on purpose?

Makes sense.

Perhaps this kind of manuscript was not originally written for us.

For us it was stupid, but for Vietnam it was just right.

Chen Nian shook his head and closed the computer.

He glanced at his watch. It was exactly three o'clock in the afternoon.

Today was the day he made an appointment to meet Zhu Xuejun, so he couldn't delay it.

So, he simply packed up his things and turned around and went next door.

——

That was the reception room arranged for him by Chen Guo.

Chen Guo herself was already waiting in the room. The two chatted for a while, and Zhu Xuejun also arrived as promised.

Seeing Chen Nian, Zhu Xuejun had a surprised look on his face.

"Chen Nian? You are a little younger than I expected."

"You are really young and promising. I'm sorry, the tone I used when I talked to you was a bit off."

"But I talked to Professor Chen later. I am being narrow-minded. I would like to apologize to you first."

As she spoke, she extended her hand to Chen Nian with a sincere face.

Before Chen Nian could speak, she continued:

"You don't know that Guo Qi came to see me right after I called you last time."

"It was really embarrassing at the time. He was embarrassed and so was I."
To be continued...
