The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

Chapter 511: Such a powerful existence is not allowed on Earth
North America, Washington, White House Office.

George Walker rubbed his swollen and tired eyes, closed his eyes, and allowed himself to rest for a while.

But at this moment, the secretary next to him made an inappropriate voice, and almost at the same time, the phone on the desk also rang.

tired!
busy!!

Such is the daily life of a squad leader in the only superpower on Earth.

After a while, George Walker, after a busy day, had to go to the conference room to attend a meeting.

"We have obtained the latest satellite images of the construction of the base on the moon by Dongda Aerospace Group."

Robert Pickering, Director of the Aerospace Industry Bureau, said solemnly:
"You can take a look at this photo. This is the photo we took now. There are two lunar bases. This one is called Tianhe Lunar Base. The construction progress is very fast at present."

"From this close-up high-definition picture, everyone can clearly see that there are a large number of robots in their base, which shows that the robot industry of Dongda is quite mature. They can perform more complex procedures and can replace more manual labor, especially in labor-intensive industries."

"We don't have any specific information about the other base, but we can tell from the photos that this should be their second base."

"Gentlemen, our opponents are already very powerful. They have built such a large-scale base on the moon, 380,000 kilometers away. This is absolutely unforgivable."

"What have we been doing in the Bald Eagle Empire these years? The Mars rover project has either been scrapped or eliminated. Moreover, we have even fallen to the point where we need to partner with European countries and Moscow to build the so-called International Space Station. Haha, this is simply a disrespect for our North American Aviation Industry Administration."

Robert Pickering was on fire, spitting, and looking concerned about his country and the people, as if he was very patriotic.

It is an indisputable fact that North America's aerospace industry has long been surpassed by the University of Tokyo.

Starting from the Nantianmen Space Station, North American aerospace has fallen behind. After the establishment of the lunar orbital space station, Tokyo ranked first in the global aerospace field, followed by North America, Moscow and others.

After the lunar base plan, there is no need to talk about it, especially now that the interstellar travel plan has also been proposed, making Tokyo University far ahead in the field of aerospace.

Now that Robert Pickering has reported on the current construction status of the University of Eastern's base on the moon, George Walker and others have fallen silent.

"Everyone please express your opinions. Please share your thoughts."

George Walker's heart was already broken, and thoughts of regret emerged again. Perhaps he should not have supported Tokyo University's joining the WTO before.

Now it’s too late to get rid of it!
"Let me say a few words first."

Soris Gainat spoke up immediately and said in a deep voice:

“Regarding the issue of robots mentioned by Robert just now, I don’t think it is completely appropriate, because there are still many intensive industries in Dongda, and robots have not replaced those workers.”

“Although we cannot guarantee this, it is clear that the University of the East is definitely not that strong.”

"Secondly, I propose that we in Washington restart the plan to return to the moon. The moon belongs to all of humanity, not to the East, so we must..."

According to Solis-Ganerty, Washington itself needs to become stronger and must re-establish North America's dominance in the aerospace field. It cannot continue to decline like this.

Then we will mobilize the media and use the media propaganda offensive to slow down the University of Tokyo, or even cooperate with the University of Tokyo to obtain their technology.

The last step is to mobilize the agents, find a breakthrough, and quickly obtain technology from the University of Tokyo.

After hearing Solis's suggestion, Robert Pickering was so angry that his face turned blue, but he couldn't say a word.

When did the North American Aerospace Industries Agency actually have to obtain aerospace technology from other countries?

And they resort to stealing, robbing and other means?
The world has changed!

"You are all just exaggerating. Haven't you heard of the Empty City Strategy?"

At this moment, Hassan Norton Parker suddenly spoke up and said confidently:
"Todai is indeed very powerful, but they are only one legged. If they want to be the first in the field of aerospace, then let them compete for the time being. How much money do they have to invest? Can they earn back the money?"

"Let's not talk about the University of North Carolina. I've looked through Washington's fiscal data over the past half century. Especially regarding aerospace spending, it's been over 10% every year, and even over 15% in some years."

“It’s definitely not a viable option, it’s a very unhealthy fiscal expenditure.”

"What benefits do we get from the Aerospace Industry Bureau? Apart from the reputation, how much profit do we get? Very little!"

"It is undeniable that while we are competing with the Moscow Alliance, our domestic aerospace industry in North America has indeed developed rapidly. It is more appropriate to describe it as rapid development."

"But we have no revenue at all. We have invested so much money, manpower and material resources, but it is a bottomless pit, an abyss that cannot be filled. We still cannot see the day when we can recover half of our costs."

"Why did the University of East announce its interstellar travel plan? I guess it's because of this, right?"

"The cost is too huge to sustain, so they are doing this. They even want to lure us in and completely destroy us."

As a big shot in charge of the purse strings, Hassan Norton Parker's words make sense.

Discussing this issue from the perspective of cost, it is undeniable that all plans in the aerospace field are very expensive and are also projects that cannot recover costs.

So is it possible that the interstellar travel plan proposed by the University of Tokyo is a complete conspiracy?
This question lingers in everyone's mind and cannot be shaken off.

Because this is very likely to happen. You have to know that the University of Tokyo is a master of both conspiracy and overt conspiracy, and it is an expert among experts.

Without mentioning the well-known classics such as The Art of War by Sun Tzu, let’s just talk about the novel Journey to the West. It is not without reason that Tokyo University calls it one of the Four Great Classics.

Whether it is Hassan or Solis, they are both masters of Mandarin, often study Chinese culture, and have a deeper understanding of Journey to the West.

It would be a big mistake to regard Journey to the West as just an adventure story about a monkey, his master, and two fellow apprentices.

There is a top-notch conspiracy in Journey to the West called the Three Immortals Presenting the Cauldron.

As we all know, there are three kinds of hard currency in the fairyland of Journey to the West, namely elixir, peaches and ginseng fruit.

There is only one ginseng fruit in the Three Realms, and it bears very few fruits. It is also the most delicious food in the Three Realms, which makes the ginseng fruit more precious than the peaches. The elixir is the Great Awakening Elixir of Taishang Laojun. Taishang Laojun used the Great Awakening Elixir to hold the Danyuan Conference for the Jade Emperor. Zhu Bajie also ate the Great Awakening Elixir to become an immortal.

The reason why the Great Awakening Golden Elixir ranks second is that it can not only make people immortal, but also increase their cultivation level.

The most famous thing in Journey to the West is the Peach Festival. The Peach Festival controlled by Queen Mother of the West is actually a commendation meeting for the gods, and the peaches are equivalent to prizes and wages.

The Jade Emperor is the lord of the fairy world, but he still needs to rely on the ancestors of the earthly immortals, Zhen Yuanzi, Taishang Laojun and Queen Mother. This is definitely not acceptable.

This is equivalent to the boss of a company having three sales champions under him, each of whom controls the company's three largest customer resources.

In this case, they can get huge commissions from their customers every month.

Suddenly one day, if the boss asked them to hand over the customer resources to the company for unified management, how could the three sales champions agree?
Similarly, it is impossible for Zhen Yuanzi, Taishang Laojun and Queen Mother to agree to allow the Jade Emperor to distribute these three hard currencies in the fairy world.

Therefore, as a master of open conspiracy, the Jade Emperor would definitely not force Zhen Yuanzi and the other three to hand over.

So there came the story of the monkey Sun Wukong who made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, stole the peaches, overturned Laozi's alchemy furnace, and uprooted Zhen Yuanzi's ginseng fruit tree. And Sun Wukong only did these three things. Isn't that a coincidence?
The Jade Emperor invited Tathagata Buddha, called on Guanyin Bodhisattva, used the Five Finger Mountain to suppress the monkey, and resurrected the ginseng fruit tree.

After everything is settled, at this time, there is no need for the Jade Emperor to even speak, Zhen Yuanzi and others will take the initiative to propose how to manage ginseng fruit, elixirs, and peaches.

This is the situation where three immortals present the cauldron. The cauldron is the thing used for eating, which is the pot today.

Although the conspiracy set up by the Jade Emperor was very disgusting, Zhen Yuanzi and the others knew that Sun Wukong's sudden appearance to cause trouble in the Heavenly Palace was a setup, but they had no way to crack it.

Today's Tokyo University has proposed a plan for interstellar travel, which can be said to be an open conspiracy.

However, Hassan Norton Parker did not guess what the real purpose of the University of Tokyo was, or it could be said that this might not necessarily be a conspiracy, because all this was just his guess.

After nearly fifty years of development, the University of Tokyo has run their country like an iron barrel, with no water getting in or out.

The Washington Intelligence Agency and others were unable to obtain more specific information, such as whether the interstellar travel project was just paper talk or had almost reached the stage where it could be implemented?

There is no way of knowing.

The inaccuracy of the intelligence information has prevented them from having a more thorough discussion and coming up with a more accurate solution.

After listening to Hasson’s words, Siribrand, Will Dennis, Andre Baram and others also expressed their suggestions and opinions.

George Walker had been listening quietly, but his brain was about to explode.

Because they seem unable to give accurate advice or opinions, all they do is quarrel, as if quarreling can solve the problem.

They discussed endlessly whether or not to restrict Todai and how to do so.

What’s more important is that there are still people who think that the satellite photos produced by Robert Pickering are fake and not real. How could the University of Tokyo be so awesome?
Such a powerful existence is not allowed to appear on the earth. If there is, it can only be Washington.

Fake!

Oh my God, are these people out of their minds?
Otherwise, how could they say such irresponsible words?

Ignorant and arrogant, this kind of person is the classic representative of Pride and Prejudice.

George Walker was speechless, his heart was about to explode, and he wanted to flip the table on the spot: It’s better not to hold this meeting.

But many times, he suppressed it by force, because the Walker family still needed his support, and he could no longer follow his temper.

"Okay, we've discussed this for so long and have made many suggestions. Now everyone should organize your suggestions and submit them in the form of a report."

After hearing what George Walker said, Hassan Norton Parker and others breathed a sigh of relief. Today's "farce meeting" was finally over.

As for the strategy against the University of Tokyo, it was finally put forward a week later.

We should continue to maintain a friendly attitude, but behind the scenes, we need to adopt strategies to curb the development of Todai. We can no longer allow Todai to develop so barbarically.

Not to mention the two major bases on the moon, just talk about the current economic development speed of the University of Tokyo. It has maintained a high and stable growth rate of more than 8% for 20 consecutive years. This high growth rate has already demonstrated the economic potential and development level of the University of Tokyo.

As Will Dennis said, we already have a lot of made-in-China products here in Washington. It can almost be said that products produced in the Far East appear in every aspect of life.

From small items like nail clippers, dental floss, screws, etc. to large items like cheap clothes, shoes, umbrellas, etc. that we often see in daily life, many of these are made in China.

Under such circumstances, we must admit that the development of Todai has already posed a certain threat.

In order to curb the development of Todai, certain strategies must be adopted.

In fact, the best strategy is the dollar tide, but it is a pity that the University of Tokyo has just joined the WTO not long ago. Secondly, Asia is now experiencing a financial crisis.

This financial crisis in Asia has not been able to hurt the University of Tokyo at all, so if you want to hurt the University of Tokyo, you must use other methods.

"By the way, shouldn't we use media propaganda to dissuade ordinary people from buying products made in China?"

At a supplementary meeting on the East at the White House Office in Washington, Silibrand raised the question.

As soon as this question came up, it immediately received unanimous agreement from many people.

why?
The words "made in China" are really eye-catching. Although everyone likes these products, it is a bit unsightly to see these high-quality and low-priced products appear in all aspects of everyone's lives.

Solis Gaynor, Andrew Baram and others all agreed with this strategy, so with George Walker's approval, this strategy was also passed.

In the following period of time, the strategy targeting the University of Tokyo was implemented.

As a result, many companies engaged in import and export trade immediately realized that something was wrong. Why were products made in China returned for no reason?
