Chapter 1078 Gap

An old one. If the U.S. Air Force does anything, the U.S. Air Force will use bombs to turn Afghanistan back to stone.

"Let's fight. Afghanistan is a quagmire anyway. Once the Americans get stuck in it, they will never get out. Fan Wubing is very open-minded about this.

Anyway, he knew that this matter was bound to happen, and Fan's Investment Group was fully prepared and had enough time to deal with the consequences caused by this matter. Now Fan Wubing felt very sad. Feel free.

But there is some good news. After many days of waiting, good news finally came from the Barents Sea. The agents mixed with the filming team finally got the skin material of the Kursk nuclear submarine in the chaos. At this time He has returned to the country safely.

The higher authorities still attach great importance to this matter, because there is still a large gap between domestic nuclear submarine technology and international levels.

A report by the U.S. Office of Naval Intelligence once pointed out that China's nuclear submarine technology is still very backward, and the noise level of submarines built in recent years is not as good as the Delta 3-class submarines built by the former Soviet Union thirty years ago. The U.S. Navy can capture the noise made by Chinese submarines in Guam, thousands of kilometers away from China.

The US military's latest Seawolf-class nuclear-powered submarine is seventy times quieter than the current Los Angeles-class attack submarines. Some analysts believe that the noise produced by the Seawolf-class submarine when cruising at 25 knots is greater than the noise produced by the Luowan-class submarine when it is docked in the port.

Because of the large technological gap, the United States still does not regard the rapid increase in the combat effectiveness of China's submarines as a major threat. For the United States, the gap between China's nuclear-powered submarines is particularly large.

This status quo is extremely embarrassing, but narrowing this gap obviously cannot be accomplished overnight. Therefore, this time the Kursk sank, and Fan Wubing obtained the broadcasting rights, it was what the military was looking forward to. Great opportunity, now they're finally out of the way.

When he mentioned this matter, Fan Wubing remembered an incident. Once, the British Vanguard ballistic missile nuclear submarine collided with the French Triumph nuclear submarine in the Atlantic Ocean. At that time, both submarines were sailing underwater, performing their respective tasks, and they carried nuclear missiles on board.

Under normal circumstances, ships can detect other ships close to their own through sonar devices. However, perhaps the anti-sonar technology on both sides' submarines was too high-end, so that their respective sonar devices failed to detect the other side.

Hearing such news, Fan Wubing couldn't help but be shocked by the technological advantages of Britain and France in nuclear submarines.

The sonar equipped by these two types of submarines is extremely advanced. It is said that even a loud fart by an enemy submariner will be heard. However, they did not avoid this collision. What does this mean? It can only show that the avant-garde and triumphant silent technology has reached a supreme level.

In the past, some people always boasted that the Kilo-class was an oceanic black hole. However, seeing the collision between the Vanguard and the Triumph in a dashing way, one cannot help but be surprised.

Another time, the U.S. Navy's USS San Francisco attack nuclear submarine had a serious grounding accident on the seabed more than 500 kilometers away from Guam on its way to the Port of Brisbane, Australia, resulting in one death and 24 injuries.

At that time, the San Francisco hit an undersea mountain head-on at an altitude of thirty knots. The impact was so violent that one sailor flew up and hit a pillar and died, and twenty-four others were seriously injured. However, under such a violent impact, the boat was able to surface and return to the base under its own power, and was completely repaired afterwards. The strength of the American submarine was shocking.

For such a submarine, it is estimated that hitting an anti-submarine torpedo is just like scratching the surface.

Fan Wubing was also confused. If domestic submarines met Triumph and Vanguard, and collided at a speed of thirty knots, what would be the result?

Fan Wubing thought about this issue for a long time, but could not come up with an answer that could reassure him. All in all, the gap in nuclear submarine technology between China and Britain, France and the United States is quite large. This does not mean that some It can put people at ease if someone stands up and makes a statement.

As the ultimate combat force for the nuclear strategic deterrence of major powers hidden deep in the seabed, the importance of nuclear submarines is self-evident. Therefore, although the Kursk also has problems of one kind or another, it is eager to find some references that can be used for reference. The military seems to be able to obtain some skin materials from the Kursk, which is also very useful.

However, it seems to Fan Wubing that although learning from others will be helpful, it is far less important than self-developed technology. After all, it is very difficult to imitate technology and achieve a one-stop leap. It may be easier to find another way to solve the problem. ! After that, the skies of the United States were cleared for several days, and there were no planes. Cang Shiyi was very impressed. On the other hand, the financial markets in the United States were closed for several days, and not a single Main stock stock could be sold. At first there was no market in New York, there was a price but no market, then there was no price but no market.

The markets in other Western countries also stopped trading in U.S. stocks, and no one dared to come out as a banker.

If you want to be a banker, American investment banks should do it yourself.

No one is playing banker, and the vigorous and unpredictable financial assets and wealth have frozen themselves. The bourgeoisie in the United States and around the world know that this is the most serious thing.

The market was closed for four days, and all the financial wealth of the United States was frozen. It was cold and hard. The stocks of other industrial countries also plummeted. But unlike the United States, they did not close their doors, and their financial wealth was not frozen. .

The biggest characteristic of financial wealth is that it needs to flow. The faster it flows, the better, and the faster it boils, the better. It cannot be frozen slowly, let alone frozen. Financial assets are not that fun if they have a bad history of being frozen.

"The so-called non-performing assets all originate from good assets. Financial experts in the United States spend their days investigating how high other people's non-performing assets are. They never thought that hundreds of trillions of good assets in the United States could also be destroyed in one day. They were inexplicably frozen into non-performing assets," Fan Wubing said to Jiang Lue, "The blue sky and white clouds are still there, and the enemy planes are no longer coming. The sky in the United States cannot be cleared for a long time, and the U.S. stock market cannot remain open. If financial wealth remains frozen for a long time. If it takes too long, then not only will U.S. stocks and bonds be worthless, but the consequences of the chain reaction will be disastrous.”

Jiang Lue only knew a little bit about financial matters, and he listened with great interest when Fan Wubing gave him tutoring lessons. After all, Fan Wubing, a master-level financial expert, gave him tutoring lessons that were very simple and easy to understand, and the examples he gave were also very interesting. It's very informative and easy to understand, and you can understand what's going on as soon as you listen to it.

If U.S. stocks continue to be sold for a long time, they will not be sold, and hundreds of millions of family assets will not be converted into cash. It will be like a person in the desert. It is useless to own many U.S. stocks. He is worse than a poor man with a bottle of water next to him. If the market continues to be closed, not only stocks and bonds will become waste paper, but the US dollar will inevitably become a pile of waste paper.

During the stock market freeze, the huge international and local dollar payment machines were fortunately still operating. The plane hit the building, but I didn't expect the building to collapse. The building collapsed. I didn't expect that the financial wealth would be frozen and might further turn into a pile of waste paper and figures that could not be converted into cash.

The consequences of grounding flights and markets are very serious. Who will bear the responsibility?

The chairman of the exchange did not dare to take this responsibility, and neither did George W. Bush. Therefore, I feel that the number of terrorist enemy planes is limited to these few, and no new ones have appeared. It is better to quickly restore the liberalization of the sky and open the market to unfreeze.

In fact, suspending the market and freezing production for four days is a bit of a panic. It’s been a little longer, and we have to settle accounts in the future. There must be some American financial experts who believe that a day or two is enough for neurasthenia, not four days, and many good assets will be damaged because they are frozen too quickly. It may have been frozen for too long, or at least the reputation was frozen, which could have been avoided.

Inevitably, people all over the world. Even ordinary people in the market have seen this weakness of the United States.

The financial system is not just America's Achilles' heel; in a deeper sense, it is Achilles' heel.

"There is a demigod in ancient Greek mythology. His name is Achilles. When Achilles was born, his mother lifted him upside down and dipped him in the holy water of the River Styx. He became invulnerable. But he The mother was so sparse that even though her son's whole body was immersed in the holy water, only his heel came out of the water and was not immersed in the holy water. When Arielius grew up, he became a god of war, extremely brave and victorious in many battles, but in the end The ending can be imagined, the secret of the heel was discovered," Fan Wubing said, "The Greek descendants of Aloysius have not been able to answer this question to this day. His mother should not have done anything. Why did it happen? Who did she accidentally leak the secret to? Apart from his mother, who was the second person who knew this secret? Modern scholars who study ancient Greece speculate that this person is probably from the Greek fairy society. Members are definitely not Arabs, because in Greek mythology, Arabs are just walk-ons. America was beaten, his heels were wrapped, and he was no longer paralyzed, but the fact that he was born with two pedals that had not been dipped in holy water did not. It is an open secret that can never be cured or kept secret."

Jiang Lue said thoughtfully, "So, the Americans are impatient now, and it is impossible not to let go of the war once."

In fact, the Americans had already begun to deploy troops. Two days later, news came from Pakistan that the United States was threatening them and asking Pakistan to cooperate on anti-terrorism issues. The Americans said that if Pakistan
