Chapter 1324: Second Update. Last Day to Ask for Monthly Votes!!! Last Twenty Hours to Ask for Monthly Votes!!

Now the Americans have sent out their last vitality.

In recent years, the United States has been building up its navy, and even hopes to obtain the technology of the Atlanteans. The huge warships that can dive underwater have already made the U.S. Navy cry with envy. For this reason, Benjamin and the government leaders not only hope that Kai can be the middleman, but even Arthur's old father, Atlanna's human lover, has been persuaded by the U.S. government to do something about it.

Unfortunately, Arthur's father, a poor old man whose name the author has forgotten, is a memory of Atlanna. If you want to talk about feelings... there must be some. But first of all, Atlanna is the queen of the Atlanteans. She can't go against the interests of the entire Atlanteans for her own feelings.

Giving the Atlanteans' technology to humans... that would not be of any benefit to the Atlanteans. The resources that Atlantis needs are all on the seabed! Richer and more efficient than humans. It can be said that the land has no attraction for the Atlanteans, otherwise, the Atlanteans would not have never thought of entering the land for so many years.

And what will happen after humans get the technology of Atlantis?

They will covet the resources on the seabed, and then they will definitely compete with the Atlanteans. This is not a good thing for the Atlanteans. They originally lived well in the seabed, why should they cultivate a competitor for themselves?

Not to mention that it was just the queen's mistress, even if the queen herself was willing, the Atlanteans would not be willing.

It is even more impossible for Kai to make such a request, because it is impossible. Don't talk about the integration of the earth and jointly responding to crises... That's useless. Ordinary people in Atlantis are the same as ordinary people on the surface. They can't see farther because they are more educated.

So Kai never mentioned it at all.

But Daddy Arthur, because of the lobbying of the US government, really mentioned it... You can imagine how embarrassed Atlanna was at that time.

In short, the matter was left unresolved.

The US government had no choice but to continue its naval construction plan.

But this is not without benefits.

The US Navy is indeed the world's number one, but the hidden worries are also obvious. That is, the development direction of the US military is chaotic, with various weird operations. The Independence-class and Freedom-class littoral combat ships, the Zumwalt-class destroyer, and the Ford-class nuclear-powered super aircraft carrier are known as the three most sci-fi surface ships in the world. (These three surface ships are really good-looking, at least the light shape of the littoral combat ships and the Zumwalt-class destroyers is very sci-fi)

However, these three sci-fi warships have made the US Navy a big victim.

However, in comparison, the Ford has not formed combat effectiveness after 5 years of service, and the Zumwalt has no bullets available in a variety of conditions.

At least the cost of the littoral combat ship has soared dramatically, and the maintenance cost is also excessive (the littoral combat ship's over-standard power system, complex propulsion method, and flashy aluminum alloy hull add up to the direct consequence that the annual operating cost of the Independence-class littoral combat ship is as high as 79 million US dollars). There have also been some engine failures and power outages on the entire ship, but the littoral combat ship has formed combat effectiveness quickly! No matter how bad it is, it is better than not being able to form combat effectiveness!

However, the US Navy has proved with facts that we should never underestimate the degree of black-heartedness of the military-industrial complex. I thought that the pit of the littoral combat ship was a little smaller than that of Ford and Zumwalt. However, after the Freedom-class littoral combat ship was exposed to gearbox failure, the Independence-class littoral combat ship actually had a hull fracture problem.

Among the 13 Independence-class littoral combat ships delivered by the US military, 6 had cracks in the "high stress area of ​​the structure". And the reason for this problem is not accidental, but because the design strength of the 36th and 45th hull frames of the Independence-class littoral combat ships is insufficient.

Very pit...

I can only say that the US Navy is really the world's number one wronged species. The US Navy's surface ships are 100-300% more expensive than surface ships of the same level worldwide, and even the difference between the contract price and the final price can be 50%-200%!

The estimated cost of Ford-class aircraft carriers in 2005 was $8 billion, and the final cost was $13 billion. In 2006, the U.S. Navy estimated that the unit price of Zumwalt was $7.9 billion per ship (in 2006, the U.S. military planned to purchase two ships for $6.8 billion), but the final unit price was $4.5 billion per ship (calculating the average cost of research and development). The unit price of littoral combat ships increased from $200 million to $700 million and $4 billion.

That's not all. The key is that the contract has been signed, and there are many interests involved. Even if the U.S. Congress knows that the Navy is talking nonsense, it still cannot be suspended because Congress itself is also involved in the division of interests.

It is naturally impossible to go against oneself, so even if everyone knows that it is a pit, no one dares to stop it.

Now it's all gone!

Relaxed, you can paint on a blank sheet of paper... Of course, this cannot change the reality that the U.S. Navy fainted in the toilet. You know, the U.S. Navy lost more than just those surface ships in the previous disaster!

It also includes hundreds of thousands of excellent naval officers, sailors and various ship technicians!

If the ships are gone, the most they can do is build them. This is a good opportunity to revitalize the American industry, and there will be a large number of orders... But it will not be so easy for those excellent naval officers, sailors and various technicians!

That is the real foundation of the navy!

The navy is a high-tech branch of the military in any era. It is not a major force in the army. It can go to the battlefield with just a gun. Training a qualified naval officer requires a lot of time and expertise. In addition, professionals in combat departments and service departments also need a very high degree of professionalism.

Let’s not talk about the combat department, let’s talk about the logistics department. For example, the takeoff controllers, landing commanders, refuelers, fire fighters, damage control personnel, etc. on the aircraft carrier deck all need a lot of theoretical study and training.

But now these have suffered heavy losses.

However, the U.S. Navy cannot allow the existing personnel to retire and retain the fire, because they still need these people to stay in the 6th Fleet to maintain combat effectiveness. Because recruits still need a lot of training before they can board the ship and develop combat effectiveness.

For this reason, the U.S. Navy has to recruit a large number of retired sailors to replenish its combat effectiveness.

This has led to the emergence of many over-aged sailors in the U.S. Navy.

But now, this last single seedling has been sent out... which is enough to illustrate the attitude of the United States.

After all, if those monsters are really allowed to land in the United States, the blow to the hearts and minds of native Americans will be devastating.

They have always believed that they are number one in the world, and that their system, civilization and even ideas are of course the best. However, repeated blows have changed the mentality of the United States, which is invincible in the world.

But the arrogance of being the best in the world is still in their hearts. Most Americans still believe that the United States is God's chosen country (many Americans really think so). The most typical one is the idea of ​​'exceptionalism'. American exceptionalism believes that compared with any other country, the United States is Distinctive and outstanding in temperament; superior from a social and political perspective. It means that Americans are inherently superior to those born elsewhere. Americans, therefore, have the responsibility and qualification to spread their liberal democratic form around the world.

This very rogue and obviously populist idea is very popular in the United States.

But the United States does not have the Chinese thinking that "when heaven is about to assign a great responsibility to a person, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions."

To put it bluntly, they are just a bunch of spoiled brats who take everything for granted because they are exceptions after all.

But if those disasters happen again and again, what Americans once believed in will be shaken.

Don’t you talk about God’s chosen country?

Why do disasters strike again and again?

Then the negative effect of exceptionalism will be reflected, why does God not care about them? That's definitely because they were abandoned by God and they were wrong.

That would be disastrous for the United States.

In short, Benjamin and the upper echelons of the United States are actually more awake than everyone else. After all, all the popular thinking in the United States was concocted by them, and they are more aware of the negative effects of those things.

So even though they knew that doing so would completely reduce the U.S. Navy to a third-rate status, they did not hesitate to dispatch the 6th Fleet.

Back to business.

Just as the U.S. Sixth Fleet arrived quickly, Rodan finally met Ghidorah head-on!

Rodon was completely convincing when facing Ghidorah, who was much bigger than him. (The legendary Rodon in the movie is only 47 meters tall and has a wingspan of about 5 meters, while Ghidorah is 8 meters tall and has a wingspan of over 16 meters. This is weird... It's like a little brother in kindergarten fighting an adult. It’s just as ridiculous, so I changed the setting and changed Raton to the data of the fourth generation Raton, 100 meters tall and 5 meters wingspan)

It spread its wings and flew towards Ghidorah.

Ghidorah didn't seem to expect that he would be attacked by such a little guy. (Raton and Ghidorah are not only very different in height and wingspan, but also in weight. Raton is only 90,000 tons, while Ghidorah is 140,000 tons)

So when Rodon pounced on Ghidorah, Ghidorah didn't react at all.

The sharp claws on Rodon's wings grabbed Ghidorah's two heads, and then pecked towards Ghidorah's chest!

roar!

!

Rodon's beak penetrated Ghidorah's chest fiercely, and then he turned his head and tore off a large piece of meat from Ghidorah's chest!

Ghidorah was immediately enraged, and its free head bit hard at Rodon. Unexpectedly, Rodon grabbed Ghidorah's head on both sides with his wings and slammed the head in the middle!

Let Ghidorah's attack be smashed away at once.

That's not all yet. Rodon raised his claws and grabbed Ghidorah's abdomen. The sharp claws almost disemboweled Ghidorah!

Two hundred-meter giant beasts fought in the air. The noise was so loud that even Kai and Tony who were far away from them could hear their roars.

"They fell!"

Tony shouted pointing into the distance.

Sure enough, in the distant sky, two giant beasts fell from the hurricane at high altitude, and kept biting each other.

Scales and flesh continued to fall off from their bodies, and then crashed onto the sea.

"Where are we now?" Kai suddenly thought of something and asked Tony.

"Us?" Tony hadn't considered this question yet, and was stunned when he heard Kai ask, and then said: "We are about 120 nautical miles south of Innspaniola Island in the Greater Andres Islands. "

Kai looked at Tony.

"What's wrong?" Tony was confused and felt baffled.

"What the hell do you think I know about the string of nouns you mentioned?" Kai had never heard of these two words.

"Oh, India is Haiti and Dominican Republic." Tony immediately understood why Kai said that.

Indeed, most people really don't remember such complicated nouns. It's much more eye-catching to say the country name directly. Kai is not familiar with Haiti and Dominican Republic, but at least he has heard of them, which is much clearer than the Greater Antilles and India.

"That means... there are a lot of people not far from here?"

"That's right!"

"That's right! Hurry up and notify the other party to evacuate!"

One hundred and twenty nautical miles is very far for ordinary people. But for these two monsters... it's not far. With their flying speed, they can fly there with two more wings.

Tony sent a message to the United States with a depressed look on his face.

He really didn't expect it.

Roar!

!

Rodan was hit on the chest by King Ghidorah's golden lightning breath while wailing, and then he had to let go of King Ghidorah's body and fell into the sea from the air!

Ghidorah was not satisfied, and he rushed down from the sky without giving up.

But Rodan was not a pushover either. The surface of the sea where Rodan had fallen rolled, and a large amount of bubbles and steam gushed out from under the water surface, and the water surface was also dyed red.

Then, just as Ghidorah was about to approach, a huge ball of fire, like a burning sun, broke out of the sea and rushed towards Ghidorah.

[An old book friend who I have known for ten years recommended a book-chasing app to me! It is really useful. I rely on this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed to pass the time. You can download it here]

It is Rodan.

At this time, Rodan was full of surging flames, just like the Golden Crow in ancient Chinese legends.

It seems that the temperature of Rodan's body is so high that even the rock carapace on his body has been melted, and countless lava has fallen from his body. The skin under the lava is exposed. Interestingly, Rodan's skin is now the same color as the bright red lava, making it look like a big bird made of lava.

Roar!

!

As the lava on his body melted and peeled off, Rodan's speed became faster, so that Ghidorah's golden lightning breath could not hit it at all. Instead, Rodan grabbed one of its heads fiercely and directly broke the dragon horn on its head.

When Rodan occupied the high altitude, Rodan also started his breath weapon.

It opened its mouth and spurted out a column of fire fiercely!

The huge column of fire sprayed fiercely on Ghidorah's body. The temperature of the column of fire was unknown, and it instantly destroyed Ghidorah's scales. Its scales dried, burned and fell off at a speed visible to the naked eye!
