111: Section 111

"As for saying nothing, it also tacitly acknowledges that we are cooperating with the Lin family, only that it's confidential and cannot be spoken of."

"Almost regardless of how we react, once Lighthouse Country releases this kind of news, they have already achieved their intended goal."

As for the fact that there is actually no cooperation with the Lin family, almost no one in the world would think so.

After all, during those previous crises, the Lin family stepped in to help solve the problems, and they also led China to the forefront of various fields.

This time, with China being suppressed to this extent, the Lin family will definitely step in as well.

That is why Lighthouse Country directly assumed that the Lin family must be participating in a project, and then used the fighter jet project to test what exactly the project the Lin family is participating in is.

If we admit it, it's a fighter jet. If we don't admit it or just stay silent, then it's something else.

As for the off chance that the Lin family is not actually participating, Lighthouse Country would be even happier.

They were already planning for the worst-case scenario, so if a better situation arises, it is entirely a good thing for them.

That is why the other leaders in the conference room said that Lighthouse Country truly played a good hand this time.

"However, why throw out the fighter jet project to test us?"

Immediately, someone started thinking about this question.

Soon, someone speculated: "Recently, there have been many spies around our country's seven major shipyards. Without a doubt, Lighthouse Country is also scouting for news about us building an aircraft carrier."

"However, since an aircraft carrier project is generally impossible to hide, and they are basically built at fixed locations."

"They have probably already concluded that we are not conducting an aircraft carrier project."

"That is why they threw out this fighter jet project, likely wanting to use it as bait."

"After all, in modern warfare, apart from ultra-long-range missile strikes, fighter jets are always the easiest means to gain an advantage in contact warfare."

"Even an aircraft carrier is merely a carrier for fighter jets, mainly to solve the endurance and supply issues of the aircraft."

"The ultimate combat method still relies on fighter jets to achieve absolute air-to-ground superiority!"

"So they must be worried that our China will rely on the technology provided by the Lin family to create a new generation of fighter jets to turn the tables, right? That is why they are so impatient to test us."

Qin Zhengtian couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Maybe so. For this kind of rhetoric, we can just ignore it."

"He isn't wrong, we are indeed making a fighter jet."

"It flies and fights in the air, so isn't that a fighter jet?"

The others couldn't help but smile upon hearing Qin Zhengtian's words; it sounded like there was nothing wrong with that statement.

Once it's made, it doesn't need to go into the water at all. Who says this is a ship?

Since it's not a ship, and it can fly, then isn't it a fighter jet?

Could it be a tank instead!

Sure enough. The President soon saw the reaction from China and obtained some credible intelligence from it.

"Heh, they neither admitted nor denied it. It seems the Lin family is indeed participating in some military projects!"

"However..."

"Since it cannot be an aircraft carrier, then we have nothing to worry about!"

"The only means of having ocean-going combat capability is an aircraft carrier!"

"Everything else is just a means of defense. Even a tank, known as the king of the land, cannot participate in a battlefield far from the country without being carried by an aircraft carrier."

The secretary on the side asked: "Mr. President, shouldn't we consider China's missile-related military projects? These are means of transnational strikes!"

"Missiles?" Hearing this, the President couldn't help but smile. "This is the thing I worry about the least, my dear secretary."

"This kind of one-time strike method, even if we can't intercept it and let it land and explode, is nothing more than that."

"Without an aircraft carrier, their troops cannot truly arrive."

"Without troops coming over, no matter how powerful the missiles are, they cannot sway the course of the war!"

"And, unless they really want to start a war, a method like missiles cannot be used at all."

"Only fighter jets, or aircraft carriers, can continuously pose a threat!"

"However, it seems that this time in China, even the Lin family has no solution. I estimate there is a high probability that it is a project like a fighter jet."

The President's order to target China with public opinion this time was naturally a carefully considered decision.

He exposed the secret that China wanted to hide first.

At the very least, it could cause the Chinese officials to panic, and perhaps even suspect there is a traitor, thereby causing internal chaos or something similar.

At the same time, it allowed the public to know China's trump card in advance.

Although for the time being, their confidence seems to have increased a bit, and they aren't as panicked. However, this is exactly the result the President wanted!

Because next, he is going to conduct a grand fighter jet military exercise!

His seven aircraft carriers are carrying a total of six hundred and thirty fighter jets!

Adding the fighter jets in Sakurajima Country, the total reaches nearly a thousand!

If this number of fighter jets were to operate in coordination, it would be fully capable of easily destroying the key facilities of two or three cities within a very short time.

Lighthouse Country has also figured it out. Their biggest advantage is high military power and lots of money!

So this military exercise is just burning money!

"This time, you must give me live-fire exercises. I want to let China see clearly that the power of a fighter jet fleet can never be matched by just one new type of aircraft!"

Not only must we crush them on the aircraft carrier, but we must also crush them with fighter jets!

Only in this way can China know what a huge mistake they made a few days ago!

Chapter 96: On the day the Aerospace aircraft carrier is unveiled, how shocking will it be to the world?!

Rumble—As a row of fighter jets sped past, hundreds of large-diameter bombs were dropped.

A few seconds passed. One could see red light blooming, and then a continuous roar followed.

The waves were blasted high into the sky, churning the originally calm sea surface into turbulence.

This is an area of the high seas outside of Sakurajima Country. This is already the third time today.

A live-fire bombing military exercise jointly conducted by the carrier-based fighter jet fleet on the aircraft carriers.

Seven aircraft carriers, seven carrier strike groups, hundreds of surface warships and submarines, are also continuously operating in coordination, conducting continuous joint naval live-fire strikes in the waters near Sakurajima Country.

Some time ago. Looking at China's sudden rise, Sakurajima Country could be said to have been hit hard, even feeling both fearful and hateful.

Other technologies are fine; rare earth processing technology, new energy extraction, and the like, don't really have much to do with Sakurajima Country.

But the problem is the technology for the photolithography machine. Originally, as one of the three countries in the world that mastered photolithography machine technology, Sakurajima Country thought this should have been their own absolute advantage.

However, with the debut of the lin's lithography machine in China, the technology they had spent so many years of money and effort to break through became so ridiculous in comparison.

Subsequently, watching China break through more technical fields step by step, more and more industries were developing with increasing momentum.

Sakurajima Country was full of great complaints about this, especially the high-level officials of Sakurajima Country, who were originally absolutely close to Lighthouse Country. Seeing China rise right next to them, they naturally felt uneasy and resentful.

However. Now seeing Lighthouse Country's six aircraft carriers arrive, plus the one aircraft carrier originally stationed here. These days of continuous military exercises have fiercely demonstrated Lighthouse Country's military power to the people of Sakurajima Country, showing off their muscles.

This made the high-level officials of Sakurajima Country so excited that they were grinning from ear to ear every day. They even had the media report these things every day.

"Amazing!!!" "lighthouse country father's planes are too powerful!" "Idiot, this is a fighter jet! Not a normal plane!" "Did you see that? The aircraft fleet of the seven aircraft carriers operating in coordination, the sky filled with fire, it's too terrifying!" "This is just falling on the sea to bomb fish; if it fell on the city of China across the way, hehehehe!" "Fish: I didn't provoke any of you (Oh, so you aren't humans, then it's fine)!" "I am a Kimchi Country person, when is lighthouse country father coming to dote on us?"
