Chapter 1794: America's Only Choice
The gap in strength between the enemy and ourselves is unprecedented for the United States. [Please search for huo/c/o/m for quick updates on the website]
Even from before the First World War to the present, the imaginary enemies and opponents facing the United States have not had such a huge gap.
But now, it is the opponent who has surpassed in an all-round way. Of course, this opponent is originally a union of two superpowers.
The United States is now directly facing a choice, how to proceed with the next US strategy.
It is not surprising that the United States is confused about its future at the moment.
National strategic development is a perennial plan, which is formulated step by step according to oneself and the imaginary enemy. Before the emergence of the Middle East Federation, the national strategic layout of the United States has always been stable and smooth.
However, since the appearance of Cai Ruichen, in the short ten years, all strategists in the United States have found helplessly that no matter how the United States modifies its future strategic development path, it is difficult to keep up with Cai Ruichen's development.
Up to now, the United States does not know the next path, how to go on, or how to continue to maintain the balance of power in the global pattern.
Only by maintaining a balance can the United States have the possibility of confrontation and the possibility of continuing to surpass.
The United States believes that the Middle East Federation cannot grow infinitely stronger, there must be a limit, and the United States is also willing to believe that the bottleneck of the Middle East Federation will come soon, even if it is not visible now.
"I know that the opponent is very strong, but the opponent is not invulnerable. Tell me what you think."
Trump said that the strength of the enemy does not need his staff to talk about it. He already knows enough, especially since he has just returned from Jerusalem and has seen various advanced weapons and equipment of the Middle East Federation with his own eyes. He has fully understood the gap between the two sides.
Trump's meaning is very simple, I call you here, not to listen to you say that the enemy is very powerful, but to hear how to deal with such a powerful enemy.
"Currently, various U.S. military technologies are in the stage of large-scale testing and verification. We need time to verify the reliability of advanced weapons and equipment, and have time to mass-produce these weapons for deployment in troops."
"In terms of finance, although we have the support of the Jewish consortium, we still need to convince those in Congress as much as possible that the United States has reached the critical point of its rise and fall, and we cannot admit defeat even if we sell iron in the pot."
"We also need to speed up the training of troops, not only the U.S. military, but also the National Guard. No matter how we develop in the future, we must also be as prepared as possible. The current U.S. military strength alone cannot cope with future wars, so My suggestion is to expand the military and prepare for war."
...
The aides talked one by one, and all the methods that the team could think of were mentioned. Although every step was difficult to fully realize, if they didn't fight for it, then there was really no chance at all.
One of the biggest problems is to improve the combat capabilities of the US military if more funds are obtained.
In fact, since last year, the United States has once again increased its military expenditure to 700 billion U.S. dollars per year, including the purchase of newly upgraded Slam fighter jets and Lightning fighter jets, and the deployment of U.S. naval and air forces.
It also includes the expansion of a dock capable of building a super nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, as well as various supporting facilities.
Now, in the United States, two shipyards are building Ford-class aircraft carriers at the same time.
As for the development of various advanced weapons and equipment, many projects that were originally suspended due to funding problems have all been restarted.
A large number of military industrial enterprises have all received huge orders, which has brought the US military industrial economy back to its peak.
In the hands of Trump, there is also a military spending plan for this year, which includes continuing to increase the purchase of new air force equipment, and also includes an order plan to purchase 5,000 of the latest Abrams main battle tanks.
The brand-new Abrams main battle tank belongs to the fourth-generation main battle tank, and it is also a new main battle tank plan that has been completed from the originally stopped development plan.
Originally belonged to the battlefield pattern of overflowing attacks, because of the appearance of the Middle East Federation Apocalypse Tank, almost all main battle tank main guns in the world are obsolete, because the main battle tank main guns in active service cannot penetrate the armor of the Apocalypse Tank at all.
Therefore, the United States has to resume the development of the fourth-generation tank that was originally stopped, in order to comprehensively improve Abrams' attack power and battlefield survivability.
The entire military expenditure plan has reached an astonishing 1.2 trillion U.S. dollars. If you want to spend so much money, you can only completely convince those people in Congress, otherwise it will be impossible to complete.
In this regard, Trump is not worried about the rejection of those in Congress, because he has the means to deal with those old and stubborn people. What Trump really cares about is the foreign policy of the United States.
Trump is very clear that the United States alone cannot be the opponent of the Middle East Federation and China in any case, so the only way is to have more allies.
In this world, apart from interests, nothing lasts forever.
The relationship between the enemy and ourselves may also become a friendship overnight, but if the United States is in a hurry to become friends with others, then it has to consider how much it will cost.
"If we want to completely improve our relationship with Russia, or completely change the current relationship and unite with Russia, do you think it is possible?" Trump pondered for a long time before he said.
Regarding Trump's question, the staff at the scene were not too surprised, because the United States can only improve relations with Russia as much as possible.
Otherwise, the United States will really have no chance at all, but Putin is not easy to deal with, and he is a veritable strategic master.
In recent years, Russia has been quite peaceful. Except for Europe, Russia hardly participates in the interests of other parts of the world.
But it's not that Russia really has no ambitions at all. On the contrary, Russia is actively accumulating strength, and while rapidly restoring its economy, it is constantly strengthening its national defense capabilities.
So these years, the calmness of Russia does not mean that Russia, a big country, has really entered Kuma and sent Nanshan with swords and guns.
For the diplomatic signals released by the United States, the Russian side did not respond at all. Trump also believes that with the strength of the Middle East Federation and China, it is impossible for Russia to have no pressure at all.
Because the situation has been placed on the bright side, once NATO is defeated by the Middle East Federation and China, it will naturally be Russia's turn next.
It's not that once the Middle East Federation and China defeat NATO, they will definitely turn back and target Russia, but Russia knows very well that by that time, the whole world will be the Middle East Federation and China. It is difficult to have a place in Russia.
Most of the world's interests will enter the hands of the Middle East Federation and China, which is also something that Russia does not want to see.
At that time, there will be no balance at all, and Russia is quite clear that with the development of terrorism in the Middle East Federation, it will be more difficult for Russia to compete with the Middle East Federation in the future.
But now Russia does not intend to participate in the competition of international interests at all. This is also where Russia is smart. In fact, at present, the relationship between Russia, the Middle East Federation and China is still very good.
The economic exchanges between the three parties are on the rise every year. When Russia was in its most difficult time, China and the Middle East Federation both helped Russia.
Of course, in the face of national interests, this so-called human relationship is as light as water, but Russia is also very clear that it is really extremely difficult to deal with the Middle East Federation and China.
Admittedly, there is another major problem, that is, Russia has completely controlled the United States, and the real pressure is on the United States. Russia is not in a hurry. Anyway, it is the Americans who should be in a hurry.
Therefore, Russia is also waiting for the United States to come up with enough chips, otherwise, Russia would rather remain silent.
Anyway, Russia is also very clear that no matter what the future holds, it has the strength and ability to guarantee the interests of the country.
This is undeniable, and it is also Russia's biggest reliance on the United States over the years.
It can be said that Russia is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, and the current anxiety of the United States is completely two extremes.
And Trump doesn't understand, but Trump is not without any pressure when he takes out the bargaining chip.
The bargaining chip is too small, Russia cannot be tempted, the bargaining chip is too big, the United States cannot afford to be hurt.
At this moment, Trump brought up Russia again, hoping that his staff can come up with a feasible plan, how to make Russia and the whole of Europe and the United States fight against the Middle East Federation and China.
In this way, it is tantamount to uniting the entire white world to jointly fight against the two superpowers in Asia, and the strength will be balanced, at least the United States will not be at a disadvantage.
"If we want to win over Russia in all directions, then we have no way to deploy THAAD missiles in South Korea." A staff member said.
"It is impossible for Russia to let go of the four northern islands of Japan."
"Europe's strategic security interests and NATO's military deployment on the European Eastern Front will all be transferred. At the same time, all sanctions against Russia will be lifted and certain economic assistance will be provided to Russia."
...
Everyone said something to each other, and Trump's head was getting bigger. Russia must have a lot of appetite, but it is still quite painful to say it one by one.
Europe is the biggest problem for Russia as a whole. From the Cold War period to the present, NATO's main forces are all concentrated in the eastern part of NATO Europe. Millions of elite armored forces are all concentrated on the European Eastern Front. A large number of missile defense systems , all aimed at Russia.
Once it really wants to win over Russia, these deployments will be readjusted so that Russia cannot feel threatened from east and west.
And this can completely liberate a large amount of NATO's military power, which will help NATO's subsequent military confrontation with the Middle East Federation and China.
So this is a mutually beneficial thing for both parties.
However, the real benefit for the United States is how to persuade the European NATO countries, otherwise, let alone win over Russia, NATO itself will be disbanded.
You must know that the economic development of many European countries and many countries is closely related to the future technology group. Once the real itinerary confronts the pattern, it is also necessary to deal with the risk of the future technology group's divestment.
At that time, the entire Europe will face tens of millions of unemployed jobs, and the economy will also decline severely. The heads of state of Europe will have to consider the stakes.
Russia's greed is well known to all. Whether the Russian people's thinking is worth the huge risk of NATO is worth taking such a huge risk, and now Trump can't say.
And let's talk about the issue of Japan's four northern islands. If the United States acquiesced in Russia's ownership of the four northern islands, what would Japan think.
You must know that Japan is also an important pawn that the United States cannot give up, and an important assistant to counter China in the future.
Even if the United States is really sure of controlling Japan, it dare not speak casually and agree to Russia under such circumstances.
If the promise is only based on future benefits, it is impossible for Russia to agree, which is also the most difficult part.
"Sending a special person to contact Russia again, there is nothing impossible to talk about, as long as the conditions are not too outrageous, I am willing to accept." Trump took a deep breath and said with some seriousness.
There is no better way when things come to an end. Even if the US military completely withdraws its troops in Europe, Trump is willing to take this risk.
Once Russia can be put on the same line, for the United States, it is not as simple as one more friend and one less enemy, but it can liberate the shackles in Europe, concentrate on dealing with the Middle East Federation and China, and, can also For the Middle East Federation and China, it has formed a strategic advantage and a geographical advantage.
In fact, Trump himself is very clear that even if he is with Russia to fight against the Middle East Federation, Russia may bite the United States back at any time in the future.
Therefore, this is completely an adventure, a risky action with no way out, and the risks and benefits are equal.
If the United States still has a choice now, then the United States will definitely not try to win over Russia.
And if from a personal emotional point of view, let Trump make a choice, whether to let the yellow-skinned monkeys of the Middle East Federation rule the world, or let the Slavs rule the world, then Trump will definitely choose the Slavs without hesitation.
In addition, Russia is cheaper, and Trump is absolutely unwilling to see the Middle East Federation replace the United States and dominate the world.
Just when the staff members were all discussing how to pay the least price and get the most benefit, the door of the conference room was pushed in.
The person who walked in was the director of the CIA who was just promoted by Trump. At this moment, the director seemed to have an ugly face, and he didn't even say hello. He walked quickly to Trump's side and whispered in Trump's ear. wearing something.
It seemed that after hearing some bad news, Trump's face immediately became gloomy.
