Chapter 575: Sea power

"Who's in? Eric, are you back?" The door opened, and a violent rush came in, not someone else, it was Zhe Kai, the second young master of the Li family.
Tan Zhenhua smiled and said, "Zhe Kai, you're back, where did you go fooling around?"
"I...I went to the library to read..." Li Zhekai replied hesitantly, but Tan Zhenhua smelled in him something that was clearly not what a man should have, and couldn't help but jokingly said: "Library? Second Young Master Li can actually be patient It’s rare to come to study, but I guess you’re not alone in the library, right?"
Li Er hurriedly defended: "How can I...you still have the face to say me, where have you been during this period of time? It's been more than two months since you went there. Do you know that if someone looks for you, you are almost crazy ?"
"Who is that?" Tan Zhenhua asked, but a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Of course it’s Kaidi, you don’t know it. Since the first day of school, Kaidi has been asking about your whereabouts all over the world. My dormitory has been blocked by her several times. I said you went to London and don’t know what. When I came back, she threatened me, saying that if you come back, you must notify her as soon as possible, otherwise, I will look good."
Hearing that it was Kaidi, Tan Zhenhua couldn't help venting a sigh of relief: "She? Why is he looking for me?"
"What else can you do? It's not for your brother who can fight."
Li Er teased and said: "Of course, besides her, there is another person who has looked for you several times, but this one is not easy, Tan Er, you have a big deal!"
As Li Er spoke, his face was gloating.
Tan Zhenhua asked vigilantly: "Who else is looking for me, what's the big deal with me?"
Li Er replied: "Matthew Mellon sued you for slandering him for taking drugs and demanding you to pay 20 million US dollars in compensation in the San Francisco District Court has spread on our Stanford campus. You are now a celebrity. For this It happened, Dr. Rice wanted to talk to you several times and ask about the specific situation. After all, she was in charge of the freshman enrollment stall. As a result, she discovered that your kid had been absent from school from the first day of school. , This can make her annoyed, threatening to expel your student status. Eric, I think you may not be paying attention to the 20 million dollar lawsuit, but this Stanford student status I’m afraid you should care very much Huh? That’s why I said you had a big deal."
What's so special is that Li Er is right. Although the lawsuit with Matthew Mellon is troublesome, Tan Zhenhua really did not take this too seriously. The worst result was only 20 million. It's only US dollars, and this worst case is destined to be impossible. Then the Mellon kid, who doesn't know the heights of the sky, really annoys him. Are you a vegetarian?
However, Dr. Rice’s threat must not be ignored. Although Stanford’s student status does not have much value for him, it has a huge impact on his family and social relations. It is also the reason why he can just stay in the United States. .
It seems that early tomorrow morning, you have to go to Dr. Rice first, and you have to give her some ecstasy soup first.
It was late at night, and Yu Pengxia was not a particular person, so she didn’t go out to find a place to sleep. Instead, she took Tan Zhenhua’s two quilts and spread them on the floor. She stayed all night and got up the next morning. His old classmate Jessica, of course, while discussing business cooperation, also tested the situation of the other party by the way to see if there is a possibility of resurrection of the old relationship, while Tan Zhenhua first reported to Miss Rice honestly and strived for leniency.
There was no response after knocking on the door. Tan Zhenhua opened the open door and walked into Dr. Rice's office. The doctor was absent. Tan Zhenhua sat casually across the desk and looked around.
This office belongs to Dr. Rice. Obviously, although she is only a current political assistant, her status in the school is very detached. Otherwise, she would not be eligible for an independent office.
The room is not large, but it is very tidy and tidy. The furnishings in the room are also very common. The most noticeable thing is probably the neatly arranged books everywhere in the house. Tan Zhenhua looked at it and found that most of these books were Politics, philosophy, economics, and management are the main subjects. On the desk of the desk, there is a book that has obviously been read many times.
"On Sea Power."
Tan Zhenhua's attention was attracted by this book, which was already slightly outdated. He smiled slightly and took it over and began to look through it.
Alfred Thayer Mahan, one of the most famous military thinkers in the U.S., commander of the Missy War in 1898, served twice as Dean of the Naval Academy. In his book "On Sea Power", he has repeatedly emphasized the value of maritime military security. He believes that the ocean can protect the country from fighting on the mainland, and the sea power has a greater impact on war than the army. Control of the ocean can control the ocean. The pattern of the world political situation.
This kind of thinking deeply affects the governments of all major countries in the world, including the Soviet Union, and his motherland, Milecan, is the most practical practitioner of Mahan's military thinking, running rampant across the blue star oceans. The more than a dozen aircraft carrier battle groups in the United States are the manifestation of Mahan's sea power thought.
There is no doubt that the U.S., after pursuing Mahan’s sea power theory, has finally grown into a behemoth after the baptism of two world wars, and is the top of this blue star in terms of economy, technology or military strength. Exist, and the Soviet Russia, which is struggling to support its resistance, is about to fall apart in the near future...
Tan Zhenhua flipped through the book, and felt emotional that New China was founded with the Continental Army. At the beginning of the country, both the air force and the navy were very weak, and the threat from the thousands of kilometers of land border in the north was huge. This forced Xin Huaxia to put its main force on land. In his previous life, some extremists ridiculed that China had no navy and air forces in the 1980s, but only the so-called "Army Naval Team" and "Army". Air Team". These guys who stand and talk without backache, how do they know that entrepreneurs start from nothing and gradually accumulate the hardships of a meager family?
Sea power, sea power!
Among the first-generation founders of New China Huaxia, there are many world-class strategy masters. Don't they really understand the importance of sea power?
Absolutely not, it's just that under the circumstances of such a national strength, in desperation, the hard choices made.
However, there are some opportunities that are missed if they are missed. In the future, the cost will be much higher than the current one.
Just like the time progress bar in my mind, before that opportunity comes, can I be fully prepared?
Tan Zhenhua thought about this and couldn't help but fell into deep thought until a voice awakened him.
"Eric?"
