116: Section 116
“Shock: Huaguo's Next Military Project Is Actually a Brand New aircraft carrier?”
“Huaguo Officials Are Actually Building an aircraft carrier in the Wrong Location—Do They Not Even Understand Basic Common Sense?”
“The Great Lighthouse Country Voluntarily Dispatches All aircraft carriers to Huaguo to Guide Huaguo's Carrier Project and Prevent Huaguo from Making Such Mistakes in Future Carrier Production.”
“Breaking News: Lighthouse Country Is About to Conduct an All-Carrier Fleet Military Exercise Circumnavigating the Pacific Ocean!”
The President once again allowed the media to release these messages.
One reason was to probe the Huaguo officials and see if they could force out any useful information.
Of course, the main goal was to disrupt public opinion in Huaguo.
Aren't you Huaguo people all looking forward to this secret military project?
I'll let you know in advance!
Let me show you, it's just an ordinary aircraft carrier!
But we, Lighthouse Country, have a full thirteen of them!
Moreover, the two newest aircraft carriers even use the latest generation of nuclear power, which provides nearly thirty times the power and efficiency compared to the previous generation!
Huaguo, you only have one aircraft carrier, and you think you can turn the tide?
...As soon as these messages came out, the whole world was in an uproar.
The Huaguo populace had only been guessing before.
But now, foreign media once again released the news, while simultaneously showcasing their means of response.
Just like before, they made the public believe the hope was a fighter jet, and then they conducted fighter jet military exercises, demonstrating that they were not afraid of Huaguo's new fighter jets at all.
Now, they are using the same tactic: letting the public know in advance that their hope is an aircraft carrier, but Lighthouse Country has dispatched all its aircraft carriers, crushing the hope with overwhelming quantity and quality.
Although the method was the same, the effect still achieved the President's goal.
The Huaguo populace was indeed somewhat panicked.
“Holy crap, after working on this project for so long, it turns out it wasn't a fighter jet, but an aircraft carrier!?”
“Damn, my feelings are so complicated right now!”
“Me too. I should be happy to see us mastering a brand new aircraft carrier again, but now I still see Lighthouse Country completely crushing us in this field!”
“It's too difficult. When we were guessing it was a fighter jet, I was hoping it would be a carrier...”
“But in reality, that's just our last fig leaf!”
“Actually, whether it's a carrier or a fighter jet, facing Lighthouse Country's attack this time is simply useless!”
“That's right. After all, the military field is not like other technological fields; military strength needs to be accumulated bit by bit.”
“Exactly! Looking at history, the only time a single advancement achieved complete dominance was the transition from cold weapons to firearms, which created an absolute crushing blow that ignored the accumulated quantity of cold weapons.”
“But now, everyone is in the age of firearms. While quality improvement is important, the accumulation of quantity is the most crucial factor!”
“Now that we've built one more aircraft carrier, they've sent six more over. We might as well not have made it!”
“The blockade is going to get even harder now. It's over, we won't just collapse economically, will we?”
“Fortunately, the few countries around us connected to our power grid are still standing with us...”
“But that won't last too long!”
“How dare Lighthouse Country send out all its aircraft carriers? Don't they need to keep a few to guard their home?”
“You're overthinking it. Carriers are meant for long-distance naval warfare. Medium and small coastal ships are enough to guard the home waters!”
Seeing the news that six more aircraft carriers had departed, and this time, unlike the previous occasion where they stopped and started along the way, they were sailing towards Huaguo at full speed.
Immediately, the panic among the Huaguo populace deepened.
After all, the sound of artillery that seemed to echo in their ears a few days ago had not yet faded; the military exercises are still ongoing!
However, soon someone noticed something strange through the foreign media news.
“...”
“Doesn't everyone find it strange? Why is our aircraft carrier being assembled here in Yanjing?”
“Could there be some secret weapon?”
“Yanjing is over 150 kilometers in a straight line from the nearest sea! Assembling the aircraft carrier here is fine, but how to transport it is a major problem!”
“I think the officials probably wanted to hide this aircraft carrier, but the problem is it's been discovered now!”
“Instead, it has caused the major problem of how we get the aircraft carrier into the sea!”
“Damn it, in this situation, we've become the clowns, mocked by foreign media. We increased the workload just to hide it, but failed to hide it. It wasn't worth the effort!”
“The only solution now is to hope that the aircraft carrier built by Lin's has some special ability...”
“Special ability... Come on, this isn't a novel!”
...Ever since Lighthouse Country released the news, almost every country in the world has been closely monitoring the situation in Huaguo.
Especially those countries with satellite capabilities, almost all of them inevitably locked onto the coordinates in the suburbs of Yanjing.
In fact, most of these countries were also feeling panicked about this.
After all, they had just aligned themselves (favorably) with Lighthouse Country, and if Huaguo suddenly broke through the blockade and rose strongly at this moment...
For these countries, the outcome would definitely not be good.
Therefore, they were all closely monitoring this project hidden in the suburbs of Yanjing.
“shit, Huaguo is too terrifying, isn't it? How could they still pull off a massive project like an aircraft carrier after being jointly blockaded by so many countries?”
“Oh my god, it seems the blockade isn't strong enough!”
“We have already sided with lighthouse country father, we absolutely cannot let Huaguo rise!”
“Only by ensuring that our lighthouse country father is the strongest can we follow behind lighthouse country father and reap more benefits!”
As time went on, the outline of Huaguo's aircraft carrier hull gradually took shape under satellite imagery.
However.
When the overall outline of this new generation Huaguo aircraft carrier was exposed.
The entire world laughed—
The hull of an aircraft carrier was actually equipped with four massive wheel-shaped configurations on its left and right sides, just like car wheels!
“Hahahaha, oh my God, does Huaguo intend to make me laugh myself to death to win this confrontation?!”
“They put wheels on an aircraft carrier?”
“I finally know why Huaguo's aircraft carrier was assembled inland—it turns out their aircraft carrier can move on land?”
“The problem is... there are no roads big enough for such a massive aircraft carrier to travel on!”
“As an Experts who has studied military equipment for more than thirty years, I can say that Huaguo's seemingly innovative move this time is a complete regression!”
“An amphibious aircraft carrier—this is an entirely wrong direction for research!”
The President, who saw the overall shape of the Huaguo aircraft carrier via satellite.
Was now completely relieved.
“Haha!”
“So the new generation aircraft carrier that Lin's participated in was just adding wheels to both sides so the carrier could come ashore?”
“This has to be the biggest joke of the century!”
...Chapter 99: Carrier Landing?! Huaguo's Carrier, Is It Trying to Fly into the Sky?!
Chapter 99: Carrier Landing?! Huaguo's Carrier, Is It Trying to Fly into the Sky?!
Amphibious carrier???
As time passed, when satellite images exposed the Huaguo new generation carrier under assembly.
The bizarre design of this aircraft carrier immediately drew ridicule from the entire world.
Overall, it looked like an aircraft carrier, but on the left and right sides, there were four superfluous wheel-like devices.
Just like the four wheels of a car, it seemed designed to allow the aircraft carrier to move on land by rolling.
But this is an aircraft carrier!
With such a massive size, where on land is there a road for it to drive on?
Lighthouse Country.
The White House.
The President looked at the image and the organized speculation brought to him by the Intelligence Department's Hubert, and his inner unease completely vanished.
What were they afraid of?
It was the unknown!
It was the prestige of Lin's!
They were worried that Lin's participation in this carrier project might result in something different, something they couldn't understand.
But now.
The unknown was solved.
It turned out Lin's just installed land-capable wheels on the aircraft carrier... If you talk about the difficulty of this technology, it is indeed very high.
After all, the aircraft carrier is so huge that ordinary people truly couldn't make it travel on land, or even in shallow water.
But... "This Lin's certainly has brains, but it seems they don't have much of it."
