While people around the world are discussing the Whale Shark and the Southern Navy Fleet, think tanks of various countries are constantly negotiating for this. In particular, major powers are assessing the impact of the event on the global situation, and their attitudes towards Americans. Especially concerned.
Just as the world was exposed by the constellation Whale Shark, the Pentagon and the White House in the United States are already busy. Large and small analyses and constant discussions by think tanks are all in response to the impact of the incident.
The then-U.S. President was very high-spirited when he first took office. However, in just a few years since he took office, his black hair has appeared a lot of white hair.
Because today's America is not easy. Many people are missing the last century. That is the era that truly belongs to America.
I thought that with the fall of the Soviet Union, the United States would usher in a new era with the passing of its greatest enemy, but today’s situation is not optimistic. The eastern country on the other side of the Pacific is undergoing economic, political, technological, and military development. The all-round rise of the field has severely hindered the interests of the United States in the world, and its global hegemony has also encountered new challenges.
Especially after the exposure of Whale Shark, this situation has changed from recessive to dominant, which is definitely not a good thing for the United States.
The "Diaomen Island" incident in Malaysia is undoubtedly the fuse. Recently, with the dramatic changes in the political trend of Malaysia, the water in Southeast Asia has become increasingly muddy.
As the U.S.'s involvement in Malaysia continues to deepen, its powerful aircraft carrier battle groups are increasingly departing from the other side of the Pacific to Southeast Asia, especially not long ago. After the Seventh Fleet arrived in Southeast Asia, the "Stannis" and The two major US Navy aircraft carrier battle groups headed by the "Reagan" jointly held a large-scale exercise near the Philippines.
The real purpose is just like Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it. With such a big battle, Malaysia is not yet eligible to enjoy this "treatment". In fact, it is only for the naked/naked/naked/military deterrence of the northern powers in the region.
However, the exposure of Whale Shark and the entry of the Southern Fleet completely disrupted the deployment of Americans in Southeast Asia, and it can be said that they have completely messed up their positions.
The White House, Washington, DC.
The then-U.S. President looked at a group of think tanks and high-level Americans, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the current situation is extremely unfavorable for the United States. Is there any way to go back to today's passive situation."
The Secretary of Defense of the United States said: "We are the most powerful country in the world today, and the navy is the world's highest. The navy is the backbone of the United States' overseas interests, strategic deterrence and military strikes against global facts, but today we We are facing unprecedented challenges from other navies in the new century."
"What I want is a response strategy, how to go back to today's passive situation in Southeast Asia." The then president looked to the Secretary of Defense, "Can our fleet win the war?"
"If it was before, there is no problem. But in response to the fleet with the underwater aircraft carrier of the Shark, our chances of winning are extremely weak, Mr. President." A senior staff officer replied.
"This is the crux of the problem." The president looked around at everyone: "The navy is the symbol of the United States. Not only that, but the navy is an important tool for the United States' global hegemony and power. It travels through the mighty aircraft carrier formations and battles in the four oceans. The group is the embodiment of the will of the United States in the world. If the navy, which symbolizes the will of the United States, cannot win a war..."
The president paused, his eyelids flicked, and looked at everyone: "The United States will definitely experience a violent psychological shock from top to bottom. Once the horn of war is sounded, we must win."
"The outbreak of war with the second-largest economy is not what the United States wants, nor is it in the interests of the United States overseas." The president added: "But the situation in Southeast Asia today is not what the United States wants..."
Everyone was silent. Obviously, with the exposure of the whale Shark, the opponent on the other side showed the first hand. This game between the two sides once again turned to the United States to play the cards, and now the world is silently watching the United States. How will it respond in Southeast Asia?
However, it is very difficult for the United States to play a beautiful hand. It has already reached a point of dilemma. Faced with a large number of Chinese companies stationed in Malaysia, this has seriously hindered Western economic sanctions against Malaysia. If the United States only responds to its opponents with political condemnation and economic sanctions Obviously, it is very illusory. Economic sanctions are not a wise move, so there is only so-called political condemnation.
But this will by no means be in line with the practice and style of the United States as a global hegemon. It is precisely because countries around the world regard it as a world hegemon and have a strong global military power. If there is no actual action, the United States will be extremely dominant in the world. It may be shaken by this, and its global political prestige will be greatly reduced. This will set an example for other countries and regions, and they will see the United States "retreat."
Obviously, the appearance of the Whale Shark has forced the White House into a dilemma where advancement is neither retreat nor retreat. If it is the status and dignity of the global hegemon, in order to defend it, strong practical actions must be carried out in Southeast Asia.
"If there is a war and conflict, how far can it be controlled?" the president asked after a long silence.
"Mr. President, if a local war or conflict breaks out, it is definitely not an asymmetrical war. The opponent is the second largest economy in the world. The front is extremely unfavorable for the United States. If the naval fleet is severely damaged or the aircraft carrier is sunk. , This battle may escalate into a full-scale war, a war that may threaten the homeland of both sides.
A think tank said. He paused and added:
He is not a small country. We have experienced wars, but those are asymmetric wars. We have never felt pressure. In fact, we have not experienced wars between major powers for decades."
"I don't agree with the outbreak of conflict, the situation has exceeded the situation that the United States can freely control." Someone said.
"It is not a question of whether we should fight or not, Secretary of State. The current situation is a situation where we have to fight, but if there is no action, nothing will be done, and the hegemony established by the United States in the world will be shaken."
The Secretary of State did not pay attention to the person who spoke, but looked at the president: "Why don't you call it over and probe their tone."
The Secretary of State looked at the President and glanced at the red hotline. This call can be connected to the other side. The Secretary of State’s proposal is self-evident. He said: "Mr. President, I don’t think the other party wants to see the situation escalate. The situation is that the United States must have a step down."
"Such as this step...?" The President asked rhetorically.
The Secretary of State thought for a while, and said: "Unilateral compromise is not possible. The other side cannot match the former Soviet Union militarily, but it has completely surpassed the Soviet Union economically. We don’t want to admit and must face him as a world superpower. This fact."
"So..." The President raised his hand and pointed to the Secretary of State.
The Secretary of State went on to say:
For the sake of global peace and stability, the United States should demonstrate its great power. As a global leader (hegemon), the United States should play a leading role in world stability and peace. This is also a manifestation of the United States’ will.
At this point, the Secretary of State He smiled and added: "This has not shaken our global leadership. Both of us should take a step back. The United States can compromise politically, but the other side must also compromise economically."
"The United States in Southeast Asia will not be regarded as a shakeout and'retreat' of status, but a bargaining chip for this'deal.' This is our compromise." The secretary of state said one by one: "The other side's concession is in the economic Concessions must be given to the United States. This is the step the United States has come down. It just so happens that the China-US Entrepreneur Forum Summit held in Beijing this year is about to give a good opportunity for dialogue. I think Mr. President, you should personally lead the United States. Business elites go to Beijing..."
"Since the other party launched XlouS as its spokesperson in Malaysia, why not follow them and launch our corporate spokesperson economically." The Secretary of State finally said.
When the president heard that his expression finally eased, he smiled for the first time and nodded slightly. Then I looked at the red hotline...
As time goes by, just as countries around the world are silently waiting for the United States to play its cards, the new China-US Entrepreneurs Roundtable is approaching. A message from the United States quickly received a lot of attention. The then president Will lead 15 high-end American companies to visit China to participate in the forum summit.
Matrix Technology, headquarters.
Ren Hong has just received the news that Matrix Technology has become one of the 15 high-end domestic companies at the forum summit, but he is now paying attention to the extremely hot news uploaded on the Internet.
Especially the domestic Internet is a sensation. The most ferocious news in the domestic Internet technology circle is the rumors that companies such as Facebook, Google, and YouTube are about to return to Greater China.
This time, the news about Facebook and other companies returning to China is more intense than ever, especially at the time of the summit.
The communicator immediately sounded, and Ren Hong saw that it was Kang Tao's communication.
"Really? Uh, I see..." Ren Hong ended the communication, watching the news on the screen, and muttered: "The comfortable era of domestic Internet companies working behind closed doors is probably gone forever, without the government. Umbrella, if you want to survive, you can only stand out from the cruel competition."
Ren Hong has learned the general news from Kang Tao. Not surprisingly, American giants like Facebook are finally about to step into this fantastic market as they wish. Ren Hong seems to think of Zuckerberg and Larry at this moment. Page will wake up in dreams, especially Zach. He has always been obsessed with the Greater China market, and now he is finally about to take a new chapter. For Zach, who aims to connect all mankind, regardless of Is it a brand new success in business or in personal ideals?
Ren Hong immediately contacted the person in charge of the dinosaur project: "Yonghua~EbookFREE.me~How is the transformation of Diaomen Island?"
Yonghua’s voice came from the other end of the communicator: "We have set off. According to the plan, the first batch of dinosaurs will officially settle on Diaomen Island in 6 days."
Ren Hong smiled comfortably when he heard the words: "Although the Whale Shark is a sensation in the world, the headlines of the world are focusing on the game of great powers. Ha, we have not been in the headlines for a while, let the dinosaurs take on this burden!"
At this moment, a large cruise ship of more than 300,000 tons is heading towards Diaomen Island. On the cruise ship, it carries a large number of prehistoric species. When it appears alive in the world, it will shake the whole world.
