Chapter 251 A small thing

As soon as they received the inquiry application, all carbon fiber production equipment companies in the United States made the same decision, that is:

Report to intelligence services.

Therefore, the time when we will receive this news in May is actually not much later than other companies.

This undoubtedly puts huge pressure on Houston, because he knows that judging from the current situation in China, there is only one thing that requires large-scale use of high-strength carbon fiber materials:

Strategic bomber.

Combined with the frequent exchanges and interactions between Russia and China, the answer is actually ready to come out.

These Chinese people must be building strategic bombers.

Moreover, the research and development work should have come to an end, and the prototype production and testing phase will soon begin.

But how is this possible?

Obviously not long ago, they were still modifying their H-6!

It's like a kid who only knows how to repair bicycles suddenly starts building supercars one day!

You know, in this world, if you want to list a product that represents the highest industrial technological achievements of mankind, the strategic bomber will definitely be on the list.

Being able to create it means that that country has completely passed the stage of imitation and exploration in the aviation industry and has begun to enter the field of comprehensive forward exploration.

How on earth did they do it.

How on earth did they accomplish in a few years what it took them decades to accomplish?

Houston couldn't help but feel a wave of despair in his heart.

The frequent failures almost made him collapse, but what was even more devastating was that now he could only watch it all happen, but there was no way to stop it.

The domestic economic situation continues to deteriorate, and Congress itself is too busy to take care of itself. It is impossible to use economic means to restrict China in the short term.

The quagmire of the Iraq War slowed down the pace of overseas military operations, and a maritime deterrence operation that was finally organized was shattered by an earth-shattering DF-17.

Planned support to Israel has also been delayed, and the two sides that were supposed to start fighting at the beginning of this year have made no move yet.

Not to mention Saudi Arabia and Iran - their camps have been changing quietly. When the two younger brothers have a common elder brother, many things have to be put aside.

fight?

You have to ask your elder brother what he says first.

Thinking of this, Houston let out a long sigh.

Really I can only watch helplessly.

——

But fortunately, the patent barriers in the field of carbon fiber are extremely thick, and the years of technological blockade have almost destroyed the technological development soil in that land.

They may be able to obtain equipment from island countries, but it is still not that easy to achieve large-scale domestic production.

Thinking of this, Houston breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at the assistant beside him and asked:

"How are things going in Los Angeles?"

The assistant quickly handed over the documents and replied:

"Basically it has been dealt with. After the military intervened, things cooled down very quickly."

"Social assistance has begun to operate, and there is a lot of money involved. But at least the situation has stabilized."

"As for capital, the Los Angeles high-speed rail project is likely to be unfinished."

Houston frowned and nodded.

This is already the best result.

At least, the conflict was limited to a limited scope and did not lead to more serious "turmoil."

Otherwise, the situation would be a bit ridiculous.

I work as a policeman every day to maintain order in other people's countries, but my own country becomes a mess.

He sighed and said:

"Our last chance of a comeback has been lost, and life will be very difficult in the next few years."

"Reviving the economy is the top priority, and the focus of the May meeting needs to shift."

"Leave all external military operations to Jiaolou, us"

"That didn't seem like the best option."

The assistant interrupted Houston.

"If silence continues, perhaps the fate of our entire May Conference will go in an uncontrollable direction."

"Mr. Houston, are you really willing to be marginalized like this?"

"I had to do it."

Houston said firmly.

“In the words of the Chinese people, this is ‘hide your strength and bide your time’.”

"Hide yourself, develop silently, and accumulate strength. It's really ridiculous. Speaking of which, this word appeared overwhelmingly in their media a few years ago, but now it has disappeared without a trace."

"On the contrary, we are forced to use their wisdom."

“Just because we keep a low profile doesn’t mean we can’t do anything.”

The assistant interrupted again.

This made Houston a little unhappy. He looked closely into the assistant's eyes and asked:

"Then what do you think we should do?"

".At least we can't sit idly by in this carbon fiber incident."

"Once their strategic bombers appear, the balance of the entire world will tip."

“Once the snowball starts rolling, it’s very difficult to stop.”

"But there's nothing we can do."

Houston said with a heavy expression.

"Otherwise, what do you want to do?"

"Patent restrictions? They don't use our patents."

"Do you think we can seal it off now?"

"Or, let's put pressure on the island countries and not allow them to sell equipment to China?"

"Don't be kidding. The island countries are almost unable to survive now. Profit is the only thing they are chasing."

"Is it possible that we still go to war with island countries?"

As he spoke, Houston stood up.

He took out a document from his desk and threw it in front of his assistant.

"Have you seen this picture? What is marked on this picture is the fiscal budget situation of each state."

"Red means that the local finance has entered a dangerous warning level."

"A year ago, there were only two patches of red on this picture."

"But now, the entire territory of the United States has been dyed red."

"We have too many problems ourselves. How to get rid of these red colors is what we should be worried about now."

"No."

The assistant shook his head resolutely and said:

"Our fundamental purpose is to maintain stability in this country."

"But to do that, we don't have to make ourselves better."

"What if the red alert spreads not only to the fifty states, but to the entire world?"

"As long as other people's red is darker than ours, as long as their blood bleeds more than ours, then, under the background, our color will gradually become lighter."

"What do you want to do?"

A chill rose up in Houston's body. He could understand what the assistant meant, but the future he described made him shudder.

Seeing his reaction, the assistant's mouth showed a smile.

"It's actually very simple."

"We should find a way to suffocate the world for a while."
