#697 - Chapter 697 A Different New President! Keep a Low Profile? Multiple Fronts in Parallel, All-A
“What virtue and ability do I possess…”
Xia Xiangyang chuckled, choking with emotion.
What virtue and ability did he have to have such a son-in-law?
Zhong Ping also smiled.
Smiling, she, like her youngest daughter, had tears welling up in her eyes.
That's right!
Xia Qingmo kept smiling happily.
But she wept as she smiled.
Was it just their family that was so moved to tears?
This night.
Countless Chinese people were laughing, crying, cheering, and shouting!
This night!
Will surely leave the most significant mark in Chinese history books!
Compared to China's almost nationwide jubilation, other countries were shocked, especially North America…
Besides the shock, there was also fear!
The first step was landing on the moon.
The second step was establishing a permanent lunar base.
The lunar lander...
So…
What will the third step be?
…
North America.
51st District Underground Research Center.
Albert was in a meeting with scientists.
Compared to the previous president, he was more low-key and pragmatic in his actions.
Is North America really playing possum?
Impossible!
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will never be content being second fiddle!
So-called desperate times call for desperate measures.
Given the current global situation, the pragmatic him was well aware that continuing like the previous president, picking fights with China as soon as they developed something… was an extremely unwise move!
He knew that China's advantage over North America was not just a mere fighter jet.
But a comprehensive lead!
You develop a new fighter jet and show it off?
Can't beat them?
Then develop a new fighter jet, put it on a ship, and continue to make trouble?
Still can't beat them?
It's simply piecemeal tactics!
This kind of gap cannot be reversed by a single technological achievement, so the first thing he did upon taking office was to issue a statement of playing possum, acknowledging China's leading position, and actively integrating into the global economy.
Stabilize the grim domestic situation and secretly desperately develop black technology!
This time.
He won't be like the previous president, jumping out as soon as he develops a technology, but will instead target China's existing technology, at least achieving overtaking in most areas before completely tearing off the mask!
“Project Free Nation, push forward with all projects!” Albert looked at the scientists.
“Mr. President, this… pushing forward with all projects simultaneously will require funding and resources…”
Several chief scientists struggled with their expressions.
Times are different now.
North America's economy has plummeted, the dominance of the US dollar is in jeopardy, and it is no longer possible to fleece the world.
Crucially.
There are few allies left!
Where will so much funding and resources come from?
The second thing.
Is for the CIA to dispatch more spies to steal the opponent's relevant technologies!
Civilian and military are both targets.
“Lawrence.”
He stared at a middle-aged man again.
With the previous president stepping down, the Secretary of State has also been replaced.
Lawrence is the new Secretary of State!
“Secretly visit Russia!”
Albert's face was solemn: “Russia is unwilling to be China's follower, everyone knows this.”
“Bring a message to the Tsar—when North America submits, China will be invincible.”
“Coincidentally, Russia is adjacent to China.”
“If China wants to expand, who will be the primary target?”
He wants to attack on multiple fronts!
The Free Nation Project is fully promoted.
At the same time.
Send spies to find ways to steal technology.
The last point: use Russia's ambition and concerns to promote comprehensive cooperation between the two countries!
Russia's economy is terrible.
But!
The former Soviet Union left behind many top scientists.
The former Soviet Union's Cold War era black technology was more than just one type.
Definitely more than just genetic technology.
These.
Can all be cooperated and complemented!
Especially this time, with the North American aircraft carrier fleet being captured, Russia's mood will be very complicated.
On the one hand, Russia has ambitions and is unwilling to be inferior to others.
On the other hand…
Even North America can't beat them, how dare they show their heads?
Therefore!
While superficially succumbing, the two countries secretly carry out comprehensive cooperation, technology and talent complement each other, is the only way out!
“Mr. President!”
Just as Albert was arranging the plan.
The assistant knocked on the door urgently: “Emergency situation!”
“Enter!” Albert nodded.
“China… successful moon landing!” The assistant pushed the door and ran into the conference room.
“What?!”
Albert looked incredulous.
“Not only that, they… also constructed a Earth-Moon communication system, using quantum technology for synchronized communication.” The assistant's voice was strained.
“…”
Albert's lips trembled.
“It's no big deal.”
The Minister of Defense curled his lips and sneered: “We completed the moon landing more than thirty years ago.”
Albert glanced at him without saying a word.
Are the two the same?
At that time, it was during the Cold War, and North America implemented the moon landing with the power of the whole country in order to suppress the former Soviet Union.
The entire Apollo moon landing program cost nearly 30 billion.
30 billion US dollars more than 30 years ago!
What a concept?
With North America's current economy, even if they wanted to do it, they couldn't.
On the other hand, China.
He absolutely does not believe that China's moon landing would cost so much money, the key is that China controls global technology and has the help of the entire world to transfuse blood—economically, the height it has reached today has never been reached by North America.
After all.
Although North America used to be a technologically strong country, European technology was not weak, okay?
Then there were South Korea and Japan, who divided up some of the technology.
China is leading in all fields!
Harvesting the world!
“Anything else?” Albert stared at the assistant.
“China has proposed a three-step plan, the first step is the moon landing that has just been completed, the second step is to establish a permanent lunar base within one year…”
“How long?!”
“One year…”
“…”
Albert took a long time to recover, glaring fiercely at the Minister of Defense.
See!
Is this what you call 'no big deal'?
North America completed the moon landing more than 30 years ago, but still can't build a permanent base, while the interval between China's two-step plan…
Is only one year!
“Mr. President, I think… this is not realistic!”
“That's right! From the first moon landing to the establishment of a permanent base, how is one year possible?”
Several high-level officials raised objections.
Indeed.
It is logically unreasonable!
But…
Can 'logic' be used on China?
A country that was economically impoverished, technologically backward, and despised by the West for many years has crushed the world in just two years.
Is this reasonable?
“Every sentence China says, whether it is logical or not, I would rather believe it is true!”
Albert's face was cold: “What is the third step?”
“Not said.” The assistant shook his head.
“Go find out!”
“Yes!”
…
The moon landing and Earth-Moon communication have all been completed.
As for the return of the lunar lander…
Chen Hao couldn't possibly wait until the return.
That night.
He left Taiyuan on a special plane.
He is going to enter a new project to tackle, to start a new round of seclusion!
On the surface, China has officially reached the top of the world, but he has never regarded other countries as targets—including North America.
Reaching the top is not enough.
Far from enough!
What's more…
Suddenly!
Shortly after the plane landed, just as he got into the car and left the airport, a phone call came.
