This is how black technology should be used

Chapter 111

"hiss--"

Although Austin occasionally mentioned this name when he introduced the submarine just now, when he officially said this name, those congressmen still took a breath of cold air.

There is no way, "that battle" back then was indeed too dangerous.

The old MPs on the other side of the screen are of different ages, but there are more older ones. They have experienced that era.

After all, it was only 30 years ago.

If it wasn't for the disappearance of the Lucia Iron and Steel Alliance, if it dragged on for a few more years, maybe it would be someone else.

But now Austin said that Fan Xing should be dealt with like it was dealt with, which made many congressmen murmur.

"Can this work?"

"I don't think so!"

"No, no, you can't do that."

The reason for this situation is that the current Fanxing is not the same as the original Lucia Steel Alliance.

The current open international environment is also different from the relatively closed international environment at the beginning.

Even the current Freedom Federation is different from the original Freedom Alliance.

Back then, the core strategy of the Freedom Federation to deal with the Lucia Iron and Steel Alliance was "containment", almost all-round containment.

Geopolitically, the Freedom Federation is doing its best to curb the expansion of the Lucia Alliance.

Economically, it has adopted various means to suppress it.

For example, the implementation of export controls, strengthening the control of high-tech transfer, manipulation of international crude oil prices and so on.

Militarily, it deters the alliance through nuclear superiority and military alliances, and then intensifies the arms race to drag down the alliance.

In terms of ideology, it has also launched a powerful propaganda offensive and psychological warfare.

The reason why the Freedom Federation was able to do this was because it sold weapons and supplies to both sides in the early days of the World War in order to cultivate and upgrade its industrial capabilities.

The leadership of the capitalist world finally passed into its hands after the Great War, when it concentrated three-quarters of the world's total capital and two-thirds of its industrial production capacity.

Relying on such ability, it firmly occupies the dominant position of the capitalist world economy, and the almost ruined European countries are waiting for its aid funds every day, so naturally they will listen to it.

Therefore, it successfully transformed its economic strength into a huge military advantage, continuously expanded its political resources, and gained a dominant position in international relations.

But now times have changed, and none of its tricks are very effective.

After the new century, the connection between countries, especially the economically developed countries, has become closer, almost to the point of "I am in you, and you are in me".

Because of this situation, the Freedom Federation had no way to immediately and resolutely give Fanxing the attitude of "we want to get rid of it and then quickly" towards the Iron Alliance.

As the two largest economies in the world, the economic ties between Fanxing and the Federation are very close. Without "Made by Fanxing", the Freedom Federation would not even be able to live a normal life.

This is exactly the opposite of what it was back then.

At the beginning, the domestic contradictions of the Iron and Steel Alliance were very serious. The long-term arms race led to major mistakes in the layout of light and heavy industries. Moreover, the Iron and Steel Alliance ruled over a vast area. There are more than 100 ethnic groups in total, and ethnic conflicts are very obvious. .

Coincidentally, the opposite is happening now, the "ethnic" contradictions in the Free Federation are getting more and more serious.

As for the various technical sanctions against the Iron and Steel Alliance, there are also various technical sanctions, but it seems that the effect is not very great. Instead, Fanxing has made breakthroughs in many core technologies one after another, and some of them are even better than the Freedom Federation.

For example, the "Super Dongfeng 15" test launch that shocked the world today was something that the Freedom Federation had never thought of.

Fortunately, it has a first-mover advantage. Many key nodes and the right to speak are stuck in its hands. Overall, it still has an advantage.

If it is determined to implement a comprehensive blockade like it did at the beginning, Fanxing will definitely feel very uncomfortable.

But it will also be uncomfortable.

If you really want to do that, the Free Federation has to regain its industrial production capacity as much as possible.

But this is more or less one of the opportunities for the Free Federation.

And now the international crude oil price is not easy to control.

Raising prices would certainly hurt the stars, but Lucia, an oil-producing country, would benefit.

At the beginning, its father lived a good life because of the rise in international crude oil prices, and only then did all the following situations occur.

Perhaps it was because Lucia was the eldest son of the Iron Alliance and inherited the most inheritance, so the Freedom Federation had been confronting it for quite a while, and the Federation didn't want Lucia to get the same benefits as its father.

If Lucia recovers, the Federation will face two opponents.

As for the military alliance... Europa has long stopped pressing the policy of a more free federation.

Especially the good deeds done by the leader of the Free Federation. After he came up, he knocked his allies first, and their military alliance almost burst.

Even if it didn't explode, there were many cracks.

Moreover, Europa's economy is not good, and it is impossible for them to give up such a huge market as Fanxing.

The Freedom Federation only wants to get money from them, and let them share the inflation. Unlike the stars, it only loves them.

It's just that the current Federation of Freedom is still number one in the world, and its mental state is not good, so Europa needs to coax it carefully.

But he didn't want to offend Fanxing too much.

So there was a lot of twitching, pinching, pulling, and pulling.

It's the same now, but it's not Europa, but the parliamentary gentlemen of the Free Federation.

This matter certainly cannot be decided in a day, so after the meeting ended, everyone went back to their respective homes, and the meeting will continue tomorrow.

Moreover, the detailed information of "Super Dongfeng 15" has not been released yet. They are not metaphysics ruling the country, they really believe in... well, scientific data.

As soon as they got home, the consortium forces behind them sent people to the door, and the content they talked to was exactly the content of their meeting just now.

Don't ask why, it is calculated by scientific data.

Why do gentlemen hesitate?
Because the "gold master" hasn't spoken yet.

The attitude of the funders is very clear, this matter can be done, and the second round of "hegemony action" can be started.

But the times have changed, the object of the hegemony has changed, and the strategy must also change.

First of all, we must come up with a project that is tall enough to attract the attention of the country and the world.

The purpose of attracting domestic attention is to divert the sharp racial conflicts in the country. Only when the country is peaceful, will you not lose when you fight for the background.

And to attract the attention of the world is to tell everyone that the highest level of technology is still here with me, and that XX can only be accomplished by the Free Federation with the highest technology.

After thinking about it, the project used in the last hegemony operation was very good, that is-manned landing on the moon!
Coincidentally, the SLS rocket, which has been pigeonholed for many years and has seriously overrun its research and development funds, is finally almost ready, and it will be able to conduct its first unmanned flight around the moon within a few months.

It can just be used to prove that the Freedom Federation is still great!

At the peak of the last manned moon landing project, 2 companies, more than 200 universities, and more than 80 scientific research institutions participated in the project, with a total number of more than 30. .

Then, here comes the point.

Because the times are different, it is not so easy to bring back the manufacturing industry, so this time we will not let the federal government take the lead, but let the major group companies use commercial methods.

And in the process, if there are some small, almost invisible, small disputes that will not appear on the Internet or in the news, the federal government is responsible for solving them.

The task of each major group is to let the world know that the Free Federation is still great!
