"Are you kidding me? How can they possibly cooperate with island countries?"

In the corner office, Bob looked at the report in front of him in disbelief, his eyes full of doubt.

".But this is the fact. Although both parties have denied it, our intelligence personnel did monitor that they had contact."

"Furthermore, Taro Nakayama did mention this matter in a closed-door meeting at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

"According to the description of the person involved, Taro Nakayama's tone was very firm."

"Although he has not shown any determination to cooperate with China, what is certain is that he must have a choice in his hands."

"Our judgment is that China may have mastered THAAD technology and completed practical design."

"But it's hard to say whether they have this system in hand."

Hearing the assistant's words, Bob nodded heavily.

"This doesn't surprise me."

"Their radar system technology and hypersonic missile technology have already achieved breakthroughs."

"In fact, after the emergence of digital array radar and DF-17, I already expected to hear news about THAAD from them one day."

"But what I didn't expect was that they would actually consider cooperating with island countries to export this system."

"Isn't this treason? Their nuclear deterrence capability will continue to be weakened because of this, even if they have medium-range missiles like DF-17, it won't be enough, right?"

"It's really not enough."

The assistant pondered for a moment and then said:

"In fact, our main consideration in deploying THAAD in island countries was not to try interception, but to obtain intelligence."

"After the AN/TPY-2 radar is deployed, if the opponent's missile takes off from the southeast coast, our comprehensive intelligence system can immediately obtain the information and prepare for interception in advance."

"The main purpose of this strategy is still to provide domestic security. If they really provide the island country with the THAAD system, and if the radar performance they provide can really reach a level comparable to ours, wouldn't this be equivalent to digging their own grave?"

"I don't understand. Maybe we should report the situation to Congress as soon as possible and listen to their opinions."

"Well, that's how it should be."

Bob was silent for a moment, then picked up the phone next to him, but after a moment of hesitation, he put the receiver back again.

"Congress should be notified, but maybe it shouldn't be up to us to talk about this matter."

"Why?"

the assistant asked in surprise.

"I have a feeling that the other side's strategy is not aimed at us."

"You're not here for us? What do you mean?"

"That's the literal meaning. They have no reason to lay out their Asia-Pacific strategy at this time. Although they do have many major breakthroughs in technology,"

"It's not big enough."

The assistant interjected.

"Yes, the scale is not enough."

"Under such a scale, they simply have no spare capacity to continue to compete for overseas control or voice after meeting domestic military needs."

"Then, this time of contact has to make us think."

"The most likely scenario is that this is just a symbolic act."

"As for what the purpose is, I don't know, let others guess."

"Anyway, the information is already public."

After hearing Bob's words, the assistant nodded understandingly.

Afterwards, the two of them left the office without further discussing the issue.

However, just as Bob was leaving the office, Congress, the May Congress, received this message.

But before they could react, the fuse of the powder keg began to burn at lightning speed.

News that was obviously deliberately directed was released one after another, catching their public opinion control department off guard.

"The THAAD system is no longer exclusive? Competitors have appeared!"

"China already has the THAAD system, and systems such as Aegis and Phalanx are outdated."

"The island country claims that the THAAD system trade with China is pure nonsense, and the two parties have not reached any cooperation agreement at all."

"Confirmed! China is indeed willing to export the THAAD system!"

In the office of the May Meeting, looking at the dense news headlines, Houston's expression was uncertain.

From the recent series of actions, he has almost guessed the opponent's strategy, but the problem is that he has no means to deal with the opponent's strategy!

What are you doing?

I just want to use dumping to curb the development of a single industry of yours, and the importance of this industry is actually not that high at all.

And you, actually kill them directly?!

There is no doubt that from the initial investment group’s acquisition of 555 Fulton, to the publicity campaign of one building in three days, to the constant news reports about “selling treasury bonds”, all of this is aimed at

It comes from the weakest point of the current economy here!

They just want to bring down the real estate market, cause housing prices to plummet, and at the same time detonate CDS, a dynamite that has been expanding day by day!

Once they succeed, after the 21st century, the prosperity of the entire American economy will be wiped out!

My sense of smell is already sharp enough. On the level of "confrontation", the May Meeting can almost be said to have reached the extreme.

The troops will come to block it, and the water will come to cover it up.

Finance versus finance, public opinion versus public opinion, market versus market.

Every step China made, it resolutely counterattacked and contained.

The results were quite satisfactory. The real estate market showed no signs of turmoil and instead continued to rise.

If this trend continues, one day the United States will pass through the dangerous period and enter a new stage of rapid development.

——

However, I never thought that what they really wanted to play was not this hand at all!

Their trump card is not to flood the market with massive funds or spread rumors in public opinion, but to jump out of the "confrontation" route and directly open up a new battlefield!

Military trade

Yes, the volume of this part of the economic activity is very small, averaging only a few tens or hundreds of billions of dollars per year.

However, this is the face of the United States of America.

In the past, they only competed for markets in the Middle East, but now, they have begun to directly compete in the Pan-Pacific region!

If they were really allowed to do this business, would it be a big deal?

Not to mention it is done, at present they have only released some news, and the financial market has already started to fluctuate significantly.

CDS transaction volume increased sharply, and the number of second-hand houses for sale increased by more than 10,000 units in one day.

what does that mean?

This means that news in the military industry has really hurt people's expectations for the future economy of the United States.

How cruel.

This is their standard style of play.

You hit you, and I hit mine, and every punch I punched was aimed at your face.

If you don't defend, I will be injured in exchange for my life.

Houston sighed heavily. He thought quietly for a long time and finally said:

"Help me find General Bob in the corner tower."

"I have some things I need to discuss with him."

"Yes, let's notify Congress simultaneously."

"This is no longer a problem that we can deal with. We must seek cooperation."

"Guolou must cooperate with us."

"Their AN/TPY-2 radar has been deployed in the island nation of Aomori Prefecture. If we want to make a comeback, this is our only chance."

A few days later, at the Cape Branch military base in Aomori Prefecture in the northern part of the island country, Lyon set foot on cold land for the first time.

While he greedily breathed the cold air from the northeast, he said to Hook beside him:

"The breath of the Arctic Ocean! This is the weather that suits me best!"

"I have long said that I would ask them to transfer me to the north, and now it has finally come true!"
