Chapter 791: Warning in a prosperous age (first update, please subscribe)
There is always a pair of eyes staring at you!
When Margaret Higgins quietly left the hotel, what she didn't know was that someone was following her.

Perhaps on the surface, Nanyang has opened its doors to these American reporters, and they can conduct interviews at will.

But what they don't know is that in Nanyang, which is in a special environment, proper attention is very necessary.

But it's just limited to this. For the Security Bureau, this is just a small matter, and it can even be said to be not worth mentioning. After all, Higgins is not the only foreign reporter in Nanyang, or even if it were not for the fact that she was a member of Truman’s accompanying reporter team A member...no one might even pay attention to her.

When Truman, as a guest, visited Nanyang, Li Yian, as the host, seemed very relaxed.

At most, it is just preparing a reception banquet, but there will be someone responsible for this kind of thing, and Margaret will also be involved. As a princess, she is best at doing these things, and she is a professional in this matter.

When he had nothing to do, Li Yian locked himself in his study, and then used a reflective slide projector to project various patterns and tables on the screen.

At this time, if anyone knowledgeable comes in, they will definitely be able to see that these are all related to artificial satellites.

There are rocket drawings, satellite design sketches, and orbital information, which were just delivered to the official residence a few hours ago.

Two days ago, a report was sent from Wanhujiao - the design of the Wanhu 5 rocket and artificial satellite has been completed.

But if you want to compete for the first place, using Wanhu Type 4 is undoubtedly the safest solution. After all, Wanhu Type 5 has just completed the overall design, while Wanhu Type 4 has already conducted many launch tests.

Looking at the time on the report and the choices between the two options, Li Yian's brows furrowed.

"What kind of effects will it have if the first artificial satellite is launched from Nanyang?"

Although the timetable given in the report from Wanhujiao is very clear, and although Nanyang's large strap-on rocket is still only a plan, satellites can still be launched into the sky with Wanhu Type 4. Of course, this satellite is definitely not big, maybe only a dozen or so. Kilograms, of course, the satellite launched by the Americans in history was lighter, only a few kilograms. After all, the overall thrust of Wanhu Type IV is there.

It is for this reason that Wanhujiao will provide two solutions. One is to use Wanhu Type 4. At present, its technology is the most mature, but its thrust is very limited.

Well, it should make the self-confidence of Nanyang people rise again, and the national pride will also be enhanced, which will help build the consensus of "Nanyang people".

"If you are willing, Nanyang can launch the first artificial satellite in August..."

But what about the bad side?

At that time, after the Soviet Union's first satellite was launched into space, the Americans felt like they had been slapped hard! It also aroused people's fear that the United States was no longer safe and that the Soviet Union could attack the American mainland.

Americans are also extremely shocked. When he was in college, Li Yi'an once watched the movie "October Sky". What impressed him most was not that the protagonists built rockets, but that after the Soviet satellite went to space, people in the small town walked outside their houses and stared at the sky. , the scene of watching the satellites passing through space - men, women, old and young, even though they were miners, they all walked outside and stared into space.

effect?

Li Yian frowned, silently picked up a cigar, lit it, and then smoked the cigar while recalling the impact that the Soviet satellite brought to the world after it went into space.

Another option is the Wanhu Type 5, which has a payload of up to two tons - after all, its technical basis is intercontinental missiles. And this also means that he can send large satellites into space.

This is the good side.

Now, these information are in front of Li Yian. Looking at the pattern on the slide, Li Yian said to himself.

After being shocked, Americans even believed that "the United States has become a sub-state." Some pessimistic Americans even believed that the Soviet Union would rule the world!
A newspaper in Washington designated October 10th as the "Day of National Humiliation" for the United States; that is to say, it directly linked this incident to the "Pearl Harbor Incident". An American even angrily jumped into the Mississippi River and left a suicide note for Eisenhower.

"These Americans are so glass-hearted..."

Despite what he said, looking at the satellites on the slide, Li Yian had to think about a question - if Nanyang became the first country in the world to launch satellites, what impact would it have on the United States?
Are there some Americans who regard this matter as a national humiliation for the United States?
Will there be Americans jumping into the river too?
Impact... Li Yian is not worried about the impact it will bring to the United States. What he is worried about is the milk powder money for more than 20 million infants and children! This money still needs to be paid from the United States!

"Damn, this is getting a little difficult..."

Li Yi'an felt dizzy when he thought that after Nanyang's artificial satellite was launched into the sky, the United States might cut off the milk powder money for Nanyang children.

The Americans will definitely have a very good reason at that time - "They have already sent satellites into the sky, why should we help them!"

"This matter... is not easy to handle!"

Just like that, sitting in the study, Li Yian smoked his cigar silently, then frowned and thought.

Will it continue to grow insignificantly, or will it soar into the sky?
Are there any other options?
For a moment, Li Yian couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. Sometimes it’s just too hard to make a choice.

……

Five days later, Truman left Chang'an with satisfaction after visiting Nanyang. Just as Truman was on his way home, another president, President-elect Eisenhower, began his trip to South Korea on December 12. Of course, This is a trip to South Korea to fulfill the promise made during the general election, and it is just a "public relations trip." Although Eisenhower met with the then South Korean leader Syngman Rhee, he only did so hastily, and even ignored Rhee's requests for South Korea-US alliance and military assistance.

After Eisenhower hurriedly ended his trip to South Korea, he did not return to the United States directly. Instead, he took a plane south and headed straight to Chang'an.

Not just because Nanyang has been occupying the front pages of American newspapers in the past few days, but more importantly, Nanyang also occupies an extremely important position in Eisenhower's future plans for Asia.

Although he was only elected as president, he still received the highest courtesy from Eisenhower. After all, he would have to deal with him for the next eight years.

Because of the "friendship of the European battlefield", everyone was an old acquaintance, and naturally they had a lot of fun chatting. After briefly emphasizing the importance of Nanyang and communicating with Eisenhower about the situation in Southeast Asia,
Li Nian and Eisenhower instead talked about another issue - the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. Although it was just a simple communication, Li Yi'an had already sent a signal to Eisenhower-if the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade was not revised, American industry would eventually be killed and he would lose his vote.

Naturally, Eisenhower didn't take it seriously to such a "kind reminder". After all, at this time, my beauty was the most awesome, and Blue Star was first. Although I had struggled on the peninsula, my beauty was still the best. Broken.

Therefore, Li Yian's "threats in the prosperous times" naturally make no sense. Of course, Li Yian did not expect that the car doors in the United States would be welded shut in 2052. He only needed to weld the car doors shut before getting on the train in Japan.

Now it is just a foreshadowing for Eisenhower. When the shock wave of cheap Malay and Japanese goods hits the American textile and clothing industry in the next few years, Eisenhower will naturally realize that this kind of goods in Southeast Asia How important a lesson is.

To put it bluntly, it means to inject a message into the other party's mind in advance. When they face a problem, they will automatically emerge with such information. At that time, the human brain will regard this decision as its own and implement it. of.

what is this?
This is psychology, this is science!
The first skill Li Yian activated when he traveled through time was psychology, so he knew exactly what kind of psychological hints he should use this meeting with Eisenhower to instill in him.

Of course, psychological suggestion is only one aspect. There is also a point that needs to be conveyed to Eisenhower - we, the Southern Ocean, are the mainstay of the free world in Asia.

But this does not need to be inculcated. After all, Eisenhower must have agreed. Otherwise, he would not have come to Nanyang specifically after finishing his routine visit to South Korea.

After all, for the United States, the only ally they can rely on in the entire Asia is Nanyang. This point has now reached a consensus in the United States.

Eisenhower's visit to Nanyang only lasted one day. After a hasty meeting with Li Yi'an, he left Chang'an by plane.

Standing on the airport runway, looking at the plane going away, Li Yian raised the corners of his mouth and muttered to himself.

"Well, in the next few years, it will basically be stable."
