Chapter 461

"According to them, they discovered a secret military base of the Dragon Nation that is conducting secret research; please take a look!"

After speaking, the secretary carefully placed the satellite cloud images on the table in front of Baideng.

Upon hearing about secret research by the Dragon Nation, Baideng immediately perked up and sat up straight.

A sharp light, like that of a hawk, flashed in his eyes.

Baideng picked up the satellite cloud images; the images were very blurry, and he could only see an outline.

"Is this... building a ship?"

Satellite cloud images are pictures taken by satellites at high altitudes and are greatly affected by the atmosphere, making them difficult to distinguish.

Plus, Baideng is not a professional, so it's normal that he doesn't understand.

"According to the military report, the shooting location of the satellite cloud images is inside a military factory in a hidden military base in Bohaiwan!"

"They suspect this is a new type of aircraft carrier currently being developed by the Dragon Nation..."

"Aircraft carrier?"

Baideng narrowed his eyes, thoughtful.

"The 004? Wasn't its construction trace already discovered earlier?"

"According to the military experts' analysis, they believe that although the 004 aircraft carrier is nuclear-powered, it is still some distance away from our main battle aircraft carrier..."

"Now, why show me this again?"

You have to know, the last time the Free Nation's satellite cloud images scanned the Dragon Nation's 004 aircraft carrier, it scared Baideng quite a bit.

They held a meeting for half a day to ensure it wouldn't pose a threat to the Free Nation's maritime hegemony.

Only then did Baideng put his heart back in his stomach.

This time, could it be that the military people are senile?

Why bring up old matters?

Hearing this, the secretary, fearing Baideng would misunderstand, hurriedly explained.

"Mr. President, the military experts stated that this aircraft carrier is not the 004..."

Baideng was stunned.

"Wait?"

"Not the 004? You mean the Dragon Nation is currently building aircraft carriers on two lines?"

"Are they crazy?"

"How could their finances handle this!"

You have to know, an aircraft carrier is not a toy!

For any country on the Blue Star, an aircraft carrier is definitely a national treasure and a money-swallowing beast!

The cost of one aircraft carrier alone is at least 1.5 billion US dollars!

Plus the R&D costs, trial-and-error costs, and all kinds of other expenses!

Even with the Free Nation's military industrial base, building an aircraft carrier costs at least 8 billion US dollars, which is 50-60 billion Dragon Nation currency!

Even if the Dragon Nation's prices are lower, an aircraft carrier would still cost 30-40 billion Dragon Nation currency!

And building aircraft carriers on two lines is equivalent to burning 70-80 billion in military spending on aircraft carriers!

For the Dragon Nation's finances, this is definitely an unimaginable burden!

Therefore, in Baideng's view, the Dragon Nation building two aircraft carriers at the same time is simply crazy...

Immediately after, the secretary's words made Baideng unable to sit still.

"Mr. President..."

"According to the military report, from the analysis of the existing structure, the keel of the aircraft carrier is at least 1.5 times that of the 004... therefore, the military speculates that the full-load displacement of this aircraft carrier definitely exceeds 150,000 tons..."

"Furthermore, the shape of this aircraft carrier has abandoned the original pattern; the military still doesn't know the Dragon Nation's intention..."

Hearing this, Baideng's heart fell to the bottom!

Something bad has happened!

150,000 tons! Unique shape!

My Free Nation's new aircraft carrier just launched, and your Dragon Nation is already building another new one?

And why does the aircraft carrier you're building sound so awesome!

As the President of the Free Nation.

Baideng knows very well.

The Dragon Nation can surpass the Free Nation in radar, lead the world in missiles, and even temporarily surpass us in nuclear technology!

But!

Aircraft carriers, definitely not!

The reason is simple: the Free Nation has been able to run rampant on the Blue Star for so many years because of its navy, which is invincible on the Blue Star!

Under maritime hegemony, the Free Nation can ensure its geopolitics always occupy the upper hand compared to all countries in the world!

And now, the Dragon Nation, the country bumpkin the Free Nation looked down on the most in the past!

Is actually going to surpass us in aircraft carrier technology, which the Free Nation is most proud of!

How can Baideng tolerate this!

How can the arrogant Free Nation accept this?

Baideng paced back and forth in the office, a flash of unprecedented panic in his eyes!

The secretary on the side also understood Baideng's mood at this moment.

He hurriedly said.

"Mr. President, currently, these satellite cloud images are too blurry!"

"To obtain clearer intelligence, should we send reconnaissance planes to investigate..."

"No!"

Baideng reached out his right hand, stopping the secretary.

"The Dragon Nation today is no longer what it used to be, and we are no longer the Free Nation of twenty years ago!"

"If we treat the Dragon Nation according to the thinking of decades ago, we will definitely suffer a big loss!"

"Last time, wasn't the loss we suffered in the Dragon Nation's offshore waters big enough?"

"Even if we send reconnaissance planes now, there is a high probability they will be shot down by the rabbits!"

"The rabbits now are no longer the little white rabbits that could be bullied by everyone!"

Baideng narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous light like a viper flashed inside.

His eyes turned slightly, and he instantly thought of a way.

"Shi Misi!"

Hearing this, the secretary immediately pricked up his ears and leaned in.

"Sir, I'm here..."

"Notify the military! Continue monitoring with satellites, take more photos, and try to take clear photos as much as possible!"

"Additionally, our own reconnaissance planes must remain restrained and stay put!"

"Let the Foot Basin Chicken, Kimchi Nation, and other surrounding small countries try to find trouble with the Dragon Nation!"

"Interfere with their R&D efficiency..."

"Send fishing boats to fish in the nearby high seas and take clear photos of the military factory! Furthermore, use the fishermen to lay sonar in the nearby waters to closely monitor every move in that place!"

"Do you understand?"

The secretary, Shi Misi, nodded firmly.

"Understood!"

After speaking, Shi Misi retreated on his own and made arrangements according to Baideng's instructions.

In the office.

Only Baideng was left.

Baideng looked out the window, wondering what he was thinking... ===== CHAPTER 463 =====
