Technology: Breaking the Global Monopoly

Chapter 2039

The empire is falling towards the abyss, and countless people are stepping on the accelerator driven by desire. Some even want to steal the materials and energy that the empire needs to survive before the journey to the abyss.

The budget plan document for the maintenance and upgrade of the USS Roosevelt aircraft carrier fleet was placed on Uncle Sam's desk.

Looking at the long string of numbers, the fingers of the nominal controller of the capital empire could not help but tremble.

  "Do they think I'm a fool? Or do they think I live in a mental hospital? Kindergarten? The first phase will cost more than 10 billion, and the second and third phases combined will cost nearly 40 billion!?

With this money, why don't we just build a new aircraft carrier! ? "

The assistant nearby seemed to be unaware of the man's anger after hearing these growls.

After waiting for Uncle Sam to vent for a while, the assistant said, “You should have read the report. We no longer have the equipment and resources to build a new aircraft carrier that meets the standards. In other words, you only need to allocate funds once during your term to get more support.

But if you want to build more aircraft carriers, other groups will have other ideas.

You don't have much time to think about it. Of course, I am just making some suggestions. You are free to make your own decision. "

Uncle Sam took a deep breath when he heard this.

Of course he understood that he was free, but this freedom came at a greater price.

What the assistant said also makes sense. If he approves the budget plan for the maintenance and upgrade of the USS Roosevelt aircraft carrier fleet now, he will have more advantages in the next election.

After all, those people would definitely not want their future profits to be cancelled by other outsiders. As long as it is profitable, those people will continue to support themselves, and even become their strongest backing to solve some secret troubles.

After figuring out that this was not a difficult problem, Uncle Sam picked up the pen and signed his name on the document.

"Since the USS Roosevelt needs repairs and upgrades, other fleets should also need more support, right? After all, we have already failed once and cannot accept failure again."

Although there had been failures before, this was indeed the first failure during his term of office, so Uncle Sam did not blush at all when he said this.

The assistant responded in due time: "The Empire needs stronger shields and spears. Do you want me to contact the relevant federal supervisor to discuss it?"

"Well, I'll leave this matter to you. I hope we can work together to revive our great country! God bless!"

"God bless America!" On the last day of August, according to the American Maritime News website, the USS Roosevelt aircraft carrier fleet recently arrived at an Australian shipyard to carry out maintenance and upgrade work. This is the first time that the shipyard has undertaken maintenance, repair, overhaul and upgrade services for US Navy ships since its establishment.

In addition to Australia, Japan, Japan and the United States also have logistics maintenance centers established.

In this regard, some media commented that: "Since the American market began to urge the return of manufacturing, the ship maintenance work in its domestic market has reached saturation. Sending some warships for maintenance is completely a 'helpless move'. After all, workers need to be trained and equipment needs to be further developed, upgraded and manufactured."

But some military experts believe that "this is a key move by Uncle Sam to deepen the alliance."

However, Professor Haishen from Inner Mongolia, who has been very active on the Internet, explained incisively: "The main reason for the United States' move is not because of domestic saturation, nor is it a desire to deepen the alliance. The fundamental reason is that their domestic shipbuilding industry has seriously shrunk.

According to the latest survey data, the shipyards of the domestic American industry had fallen to a second-rate level as early as ten years ago. The shipyards that were very advanced in the last century are now facing aging infrastructure, insufficient technical personnel, low technical level, and even the suppliers of various spare parts are in a state of bankruptcy or layoffs.

The United States once wanted to find the Goryeo shipyard to repair their ships, but because some of Goryeo's companies had cooperation with our Daxia companies, and were restricted by some regulations they had made, the cooperation was not reached, and finally they went to the Neon Island shipyard to repair them.

There is also the USS John C. Stennis, a well-known American maritime power. It began replacing its nuclear fuel and undergoing mid-term upgrades eight years ago, but the maintenance of another aircraft carrier was not completed at the time, so the maintenance was postponed.

The aircraft carrier should have been repaired and upgraded four years ago, but it was only last year that it was barely launched to carry out its mission.

You may not know that according to the Merchant Marine Act of the United States, the maintenance of their navy's combat ships is limited to their own country, so in the past they would send those supply and logistics non-combat ships to shipyards in other countries for repair and maintenance. However, this time they violated their ancestral teachings and chose to go to Australia for repairs.

Of course, I have also checked this shipyard in Australia. The shareholder composition is extremely complex, but most of them are American forces. For example, the Pentagon has a considerable share of equity in this shipyard, so in a sense, the shipyard is still under the control of the United States.

The United States once had the world's top shipyards and the largest shipbuilding industry, but in the past few decades, they have closed many excellent shipyards. Now there are only four shipyards that can undertake the construction and maintenance of naval ships, and it is said that these four shipyards have purchased materials and equipment from our Daxia.

It's just that at this time, they seem to have become dumb and deaf. Not only did they not announce these facts, but my information channels also showed that these four shipyards have increased their demand for material orders from our Daxia Enterprises."

Not only did this professor, an expert in international relations, explain it verbally, he also found a bunch of public information documents to prove that what he said was true.

The "debates" among these big guys made many netizens excited.

But many people did not expect that the once so arrogant bald eagle has now become so weak.

All of the shipyard's large equipment needs maintenance without exception, and many key equipment and special materials come directly from Daxia's procurement channels.
