Chapter 1608: ideal

"What exactly are the two satellites you sent to the sky on February 16 for?"
When Perry sat across from General Liu again, the first question was raised.
With an inscrutable smile at the corner of his mouth, General Liu replied slowly: "It seems that you have finally noticed this news, so the news should be very clear, it is two land resources satellites."
After a pause, he added, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally: "But I can tell you the names of these two satellites. They are called "Beidou-1". The two satellites launched in February are experimental in nature. Verify some key technologies, and what about the future..."
"What about the future?"
"In the future, "Beidou" will form a constellation orbiting the earth, pointing out the direction of home for every Chinese.

On the following day, President Creighton met with a visiting Chinese General Liu and his entourage at the White House. The two sides held cordial and friendly talks. At a press conference held after the meeting, President Creighton emphasized that the United States will abide by the time when Huami established diplomatic relations. The spirit of the signed "Three Joint Communiqués" respects China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, abides by the basic position of "One China", recognizes the mainland government as China's only legitimate government, and calls on both sides of the strait to negotiate and resolve issues within a peaceful framework.
General Liu said in the interview that the talks have achieved positive results and promoted understanding and communication between Huami and Huami. He believes that the two countries can work together to make greater contributions to world peace and development.
On the same day, the "Nimitz" received the latest order to return to Yokosuka's home port for routine maintenance. The "Independence" also received the order to leave the strait that had been patrolled for many days and proceed to the Persian Gulf for routine cruises.
Of course, a certain voice that once clamored on Wandao suddenly became quieter...
As for the Taiping Island far away in the South China Sea, it seems to have been forgotten, and no one mentions it anymore. It's just that the ships that go to Taiping Island to send supplies every month will depart from two places.
...
As soon as General Liu returned to the capital, he presided over a number of important meetings. Several of them discussed issues related to the future development of China’s defense equipment in certain fields. At this time, people found that, Whenever you hold this kind of meeting, regardless of whether you want to discuss space, land, sky or ocean, then the two young masters are indispensable. This guy has unknowingly spread his tentacles throughout China’s entire military equipment development field. Moreover, upwards, it provides various basic and cutting-edge research results and key components such as materials, energy, electronics, integrated circuit components, optics, chemicals, power machinery, supercomputer systems, etc.; downwards, advances various scientific research results The transformation in the civilian field has led the entire Chinese society to demand productivity from science and technology; the outer edge has promoted the development and production of a number of national key large-scale equipment. Before he knew it, Tan Zhenhua had already built a technology And the empire of industry!
Or, this is his ideal.
"My ideal is world peace." Tan Zhenhua answered questions from many acquaintances including General Liu in this way, and then further said: "So I will vote for today's topic."
General Liu nodded slightly and was satisfied with Tan Zhenhua's unexpected answer, and then asked: "Then, it seems that you are in favor of my country's development of aircraft carriers."
"Not only need to develop, but also need to start immediately, and my personal opinion is that we should develop a large nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, if nuclear power can not solve the technical problems in a short time, it must at least be a large conventionally powered aircraft carrier."
"Oh why?"
"The reason is obvious." Tan Zhenhua replied solemnly: "Admiral Liu, you guys, just now I also listened to everyone's opinions on whether China wants to develop aircraft carriers and the technical routes for the future development of aircraft carriers. I will also talk about mine below."
He paused for a while, sorted out his thoughts, and began to tell: "It is undeniable that the international order after World War II was actually dominated by the two superpowers of the United States and Soviet Russia, and the Americans are obviously better. It won the Cold War. Some people have summed up the three magic weapons for the United States to win, namely "the U.S. dollar, the media, and the U.S. Army." These three magic weapons actually represent the three powers that the U.S. controls the world order, that is, financial power, The power of public opinion and the armed forces. Since the topic we are discussing today is aircraft carriers, let me talk about how the Americans use armed forces to control the world and the important role that aircraft carriers play in it."
Having said that, he looked around for a while, took out a small USB flash drive from his pocket and plugged it into his portable laptop, then connected it to the projector in the conference room and projected a large map on the screen. Above, everyone in the meeting looked at it and found that this is a map of the world, but this picture is a bit strange. In addition to the normal world countries, mountains, land, and ocean topography, there are many different shades of red lines on this map. These lines are on the sea, but at both ends are famous international seaports.
Tan Zhenhua explained: "Everyone, please take a look. This is a picture drawn by our "Red Flag Capital" after analyzing the global shipping routes. We call it the "World Shipping Heat Map". These red lines on the sea are currently used internationally. For commercial shipping routes, the darker red indicates that there are more flights on this route. You can see that in some places, the routes are very dense and the red is also very deep. These red lines are intertwined, and it is even difficult for you to distinguish. Each line forms a large dark red area. We call such areas "hot spots". Some lines are sparse and lighter in color, and some even have only one or two light lines."
With his explanation, everyone understands that this picture vividly shows the many hot routes of international trade. The more densely red lines are on the map, the more developed the international trade.
Tan Zhenhua turned on the laser pointer and drew a little bit on the densest areas in the dark red on this picture, and then said: "Everyone, if we look at this picture from the perspective of global strategy, we will find that this Several areas are the most active areas for international trade, and then here, here, and here are the only ways for international commercial freighters to reach these hotspots. Then we can think that controlling these key nodes means that Controlled the most important international trade routes on this planet, and you see, what are there near these key nodes?"
There was a voice of discussion in the conference room immediately, and someone replied: "There are U.S. naval bases nearby."
"There are also aircraft carriers, the U.S. aircraft carrier fleet. These areas are the main areas where U.S. aircraft carrier battle groups are stationed and patrolled!"
"Yes, you are all right!" Tan Zhenhua nodded, "So, the aircraft carrier is not only a mobile force used by the Americans to respond to global emergencies, but also a tool for maintaining and controlling the main maritime trade lines!"
