Technological supremacy starts with acquiring alien spaceships
#42 - Chapter 42 Sanctions are coming
The chief spent over ten minutes watching the video transmitted back from the Bullethead's battle, his eyes gleaming.
"Excellent, excellent! This is a great fortune for the country! A great fortune indeed!"
"Chief, Chen Yu also promised to provide our military with ten Bullethead combat aircraft, free of charge!"
"It seems Chen Yu is a patriotic and ambitious young man. Our country cannot treat him unfairly. Doesn't he have a company? We must do our best to give him the green light and fully satisfy his requirements!"
"Understood, Chief!"
Soon, Chen Yu's Huan Yu Technology became a key enterprise supported by the state.
In the White House of America, President Biden was with Secretary of Defense Schneider, Secretary of Technology Rogers, and other senior officials.
They were watching the combat video taken by the rescued Sakura Country naval soldiers.
After watching what exactly happened at that time, all the senior American officials had solemn expressions.
"Can anyone tell me what that black blob in the video is?" President Biden asked.
But no one answered.
"Rogers, you are the Secretary of Technology, did you understand what that thing is?"
Rogers frowned, thought for a moment, and said:
"Based on my judgment, this may be a combat aircraft. Based on its shape and flight posture, I thought of a possibility!"
"Speak!"
Rogers reopened a video on the big screen.
This was the scene when the flying car from Huan Yu Technology's press conference appeared.
After these American executives watched it, they seemed to have guessed something.
After the video finished playing, Rogers slowly said:
"Has everyone noticed that the flight principle of the aircraft that attacked the Sakura Country's warship is very similar to that of Huan Yu Technology's flying car?"
"Are you saying that Huan Yu Technology has cooperated with the Yanxia military to use anti-gravity engines to create combat-capable aircraft?" Secretary of Defense Schneider asked.
Rogers nodded, and then continued his speculation.
"I think the Yanxia military not only obtained Huan Yu Technology's anti-gravity engine technology, but also their battery technology. I guess the laser emitted by the aircraft's attack is an electromagnetic gun. We are also developing it, but we can't miniaturize it at all. The main reason is that there is no suitable energy storage device, but Huan Yu Technology's high-compression deuterium-tritium ion battery can do it!"
As expected of the Secretary of Technology of America, the analysis results were almost the same as the facts.
"Yanxia has gone too far this time. Sakura Country is our ally. Now that their fleet has been completely annihilated, it has aroused dissatisfaction among the countries of the NATO military alliance. They demand that we Americans must do something."
"Mr. President, Yanxia's actions without a word this time have seriously violated international conventions. I think we should sanction them."
Secretary of Commerce Humphreys suggested.
"Okay, Yanxia's economy and military have been advancing by leaps and bounds in recent years, and they have become America's most powerful enemy. In addition, with our current global plunder plan, Yanxia must be sanctioned. Humphreys, you formulate a series of sanctions and implement them as soon as possible!"
"Yes, Mr. President."
In just one day, led by the United States, major EU economic powers followed.
A sanction measure was promulgated simultaneously in North America and Europe.
The content of the sanctions is as follows.
First, impose high tariffs on Yanxia's exports to North America and Europe, stop or reduce imports of Yanxia's goods, and instead seek orders in Southeast Asia.
Second, restrict the export of Western high-tech products to Yanxia, including high-end chips, high-end operating systems, AI artificial intelligence software, etc.
Then, in the financial market, wantonly harvest Yanxia enterprises and raise the Federal Reserve interest rate to allow the hot money of Yanxia's wealthy people to flow into the United States.
These three axes will directly lead to huge difficulties in Yanxia's economy.
In addition, the West's restriction on the export of advanced products from various industries to Yanxia will further lead to a serious decline in Yanxia's productivity.
This sanction is the most serious sanction against Yanxia by the United States in conjunction with its allies.
If Yanxia does not handle it well, or allows the United States to sanction it, it may lead to economic regression and even internal crises.
When these bans were issued, media all over the world reported it extensively.
Yanxia's media was even more chaotic, and the people were also panicked. Many companies immediately announced layoffs and salary cuts.
Even many international companies have announced their withdrawal from the Yanxia market.
In the Great Hall of the People in Yanjing, a high-level meeting personally convened by the chief was underway.
"Chief, it seems that our destruction of the Sakura Country's fleet has completely angered the NATO military alliance. My opinion is to tighten our belts, actively realize the internal economic cycle, and actively invest research and development funds in the fields where we are stuck, and this economic war with the United States will be fought sooner or later!"
But then a senior economic official stood up to refute.
"Minister Li, I think our biggest problem now is time. If we let our technology companies engage in research and development to make up for the limitations in some high-precision fields, it is better for us to actively negotiate peace with the United States and the European Union. We can make appropriate concessions in exchange for good development space."
"Hmph, the United States' methods are so tough now, do you think they will still talk to us about anything? This was originally something they had been planning for a long time!"
"But, but if our exports decrease, it will inevitably lead to a decline in the domestic economy and a sharp increase in the unemployment rate. How should we solve the livelihood problems that will arise at that time?"
Just as Li Zhenfeng and this senior official were refuting each other, the chief on the main seat waved his hand to stop the two.
"Don't argue, what you two said makes sense, but it is impossible for me, Yanxia, to give in. Now we must actively stabilize relations with countries that have not broken off trade relations with our country, and then strengthen research and development in some technology industries that are highly dependent on imports!"
Li Zhenfeng and the senior official both nodded, expressing their approval.
The chief thought for a while and continued:
"I think you should all know about Huan Yu Technology Company, right? I think whether my Yanxia can break the situation in the end, this company is very critical."
Many officials nodded, they had all seen the video of the annihilation of the Sakura Country's fleet.
This company is quite capable in the research and development of military industrial technology. The current predicament of Yanxia may be solved by this company.
The chief returned to the two-story building in the Red Wall and instructed the secretary:
"Let Cao Guangde bring that Chen Yu to Yanjing, I want to meet him."
"Okay, Chief, I will contact General Cao now."
At the headquarters of Huan Yu Technology, Chen Yu was sitting in his office.
Looking at the overwhelming news of sanctions on the computer.
"I didn't expect the United States to act so quickly. If the West is allowed to impose sanctions, it will indeed drag down our country's economy."
Chen Yu said to himself.
However, after thinking for a while, Chen Yu's mouth curled up!
