Chapter 2039

The empire is falling towards the abyss. Driven by desire, countless people are stepping on the accelerator. There are even some people who want to steal the supplies and energy that the empire can survive before the journey to the abyss arrives.

The document on the maintenance and upgrade budget plan for the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier fleet is on Uncle Sam's desk.

Looking at the long series of numbers, the nominal controller of the capital empire could not help but tremble with his fingers.

"Do they think I'm a fool? Or do they think I live in a mental hospital? Kindergarten? The first phase costs more than 10 billion, and the second and third phases combined total close to 40 billion!?

With this money, why don’t we just build a new aircraft carrier! ? "

After hearing these low growls, the assistant on the side seemed not to notice this person's anger at all.

After waiting for Uncle Sam to vent for a moment, the assistant said: "You should have read the report. We have no more equipment and resources to build a new aircraft carrier that meets the standards. In other words, you only need to allocate funds once during your term. , you can get more support.

But if you want to build more carriers, other groups will have other ideas.

There is not much time left for you to think. Of course, I am just making some suggestions. You are free and can make your own decisions. "

Uncle Sam took a deep breath when he heard this.

Of course he understands that he is free, but this freedom comes at a higher cost.

And what the assistant said makes sense. Now that the budget plan for the maintenance and upgrade of the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier fleet has been approved, he will have more advantages facing the next election.

After all, those people will definitely not want their next profits to be canceled by other outsiders. As long as it is profitable, those people will continue to support them, and even become their most solid backing, solving some secret troubles.

Thinking that this was not a difficult question, Uncle Sam picked up the pen and signed his signature on the document.

"Since the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier fleet needs maintenance and upgrades, other fleets should also need more support, right? After all, we have failed once and cannot accept failure again."

Although there has been a record of failure before, this is indeed the first failure during his term, so Uncle Sam did not blush at all when he said this.

The assistant also responded promptly: "The empire needs stronger shields and spears. Do you need me to contact the relevant federal supervisor to discuss?"

"Well, I'll leave this matter to you. I hope we can work together to revive our great country! God bless!"

"God bless America!"

On the last day of August, according to the American "Maritime News" website, the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier fleet recently arrived at the Australian shipyard to carry out maintenance and upgrade work. This is the first time that the shipyard has undertaken maintenance and maintenance for U.S. Navy ships since its establishment. Repair and overhaul, upgrade business.

In addition to Australia, Neon Island countries also have logistics and maintenance centers set up in the United States.

In this regard, some media commented: "Since the American market began to urge the manufacturing industry to return, the ship maintenance work in its domestic market has reached saturation. It is completely a 'helpless move' to send some warships out for maintenance. After all, workers need to be trained. The equipment needs to be developed, upgraded and manufactured.”

However, some military experts believe that "this is a key measure for Uncle Sam to deepen the alliance."

The Inner Mongolia sea cucumber professor who has been very active on the Internet explained in detail: "The main reason for the United States' move is not local saturation at all, nor is it a desire to deepen the alliance. The fundamental reason is their local The shipbuilding industry has shrunk severely.

According to the latest survey data, the domestic shipyards in the United States have fallen to a level that is not second-rate as early as ten years ago. The shipyards that were very advanced in the last century have already suffered from aging infrastructure and technology in this era. There are insufficient personnel, low technical level, and even the supply companies of various spare parts are in bankruptcy or layoffs.

The United States once wanted to find the Korean shipyard to repair their ships, but because some Korean companies cooperated with our Daxia companies, and were limited by some regulations they had made, so the cooperation was not negotiated. In the end It is better to go to the shipyard of Neon Island Country for repairs.

There is also the USS Stennis, a well-known aircraft carrier of the United States maritime power. It began to replace nuclear fuel eight years ago and underwent mid-term upgrades. However, at that time, the maintenance of another aircraft carrier was not completed, so the maintenance was postponed.

This aircraft carrier was supposed to have been repaired and upgraded four years ago, but it was only last year that it was barely launched into the water to perform its mission.

You may not know that according to the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act of the United States, the maintenance work of their navy's combat ships is restricted to their homeland. Therefore, they used to put those supply and logistics non-combat ships in Shipyards in other countries carried out repairs and maintenance, but this time they went against the 'ancestral precepts' and chose to go to Australia for repairs.

Of course, I have also checked this shipyard in Australia. The shareholders are extremely complex, but most of them are American forces. For example, a certain corner building has a large equity share in this shipyard, so from now on In a sense, the shipyard remains under American control.

The United States once had the world's top shipyards and the largest shipbuilding industry, but in the past few decades, they have closed many excellent shipyards one after another. Now there are only four shipyards that can undertake the construction and maintenance of naval ships, and it is said that these four shipyards have purchased materials and equipment from our Daxia.

However, at this time, they seem to have become dumb and deaf. Not only did they not announce these facts, but my news channels also showed that these four shipyards have increased their demand for material orders from our Daxia enterprises. "

Not only did he explain verbally, this expert professor of international relations also found a bunch of public information documents to prove that what he said was true.

The "debate" of these big guys made many netizens excited.

But many people did not expect that the once arrogant bald eagle has now become "weak" like this "weak chicken".

The large equipment in the shipyard, without exception, needs maintenance, and many key equipment and special materials are mostly directly from Daxia's procurement channels.
