Chapter 375: Aren’t the weapons provided by the Russians?
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.
Almost every high-ranking American military official present had an expression of disbelief on their faces.
No, isn't what Marshall said too much exaggeration?
Military industry surpasses that of the Eagle Sauce? Just because of the Dragon Country?
Just three or four years ago, weren't the Dragon people unable to even produce a standard heavy artillery?
Even the most basic equipment such as bullets and guns need to be imported from the United States.
How could they have made such a big comeback in such a short time?
If I tell this to others, who would believe it?
After all, the world is material.
If you want to surpass the US in military industry, the most basic thing is to have talents!
Moreover, the high-level Dragon people present here have seen this before.
Most of them are submissive and fawning towards me.
Those who work in the US are mostly in low-end industries such as catering and manual labor.
In the eyes of these people, the status of these Dragon people is only slightly better than that of the slaves captured from Africa.
The words that represent them are almost cowardice and incompetence.
How could such a country suddenly produce so many scientific and technological talents?
Or even top talents that far surpass the scientists in the United States?
The fact that the military industry surpasses the United States can happen in Europe, and even in Russia.
After all, they are all white Europeans.
The first and second industrial revolutions took place on this land. Even many small countries have produced top scientists who have influenced the progress of the industrial revolution.
And what about Longguo?
In the past hundred years, has there been a scientist who has been even slightly influential?
No!
Therefore, many Europeans have already determined that the Dragon people can do some rough work, but with their ignorant brains, they are not suitable for learning any scientific knowledge...
A country like this, you tell me now, can actually produce weapons that surpass those of the United States?
This is a joke...
"Mr. Marshall, I mean no offense...but aren't your words too harsh?"
At this time, a hawkish lieutenant general raised an objection.
"You also know that the Dragon people are now the most important partners and thugs of the Russian Bear in Asia. In order to deal with us, perhaps these weapons that look more advanced than ours are all supported by the Russian Bear..."
The lieutenant general's speech immediately attracted the approval of his colleagues.
This is right!
Although the Russians are his main enemy, both he and the Russians are white people, and the reason for their hostility is also because of the dispute over the route.
Moreover, although the Russian scientists are not as famous as those in other European countries, their quality is indeed not inferior at all.
For example, the famous law of conservation of mass was discovered by Russian scientist Lomonosov, and Dmitri Mendeleev was the creator of the periodic table!
So, no matter what, the Russian bear is also a member of Western civilization.
The fact that he can become a superpower and compete with himself is also one of the proofs that white people are the most outstanding race on the blue planet!
But, Dragon Country is different.
Not only is the race of the Dragon Kingdom different from that of the white people, but its civilization is also very different from Western civilization!
The dispute between Longguo and himself is not only a dispute over routes, but also a confrontation between civilizations and races!
Therefore, these American generals present can tolerate the Russians suppressing them, but they absolutely cannot tolerate the Dragons surpassing them!
If they really admit it, doesn't that prove that white people are not the chosen race and the best on the blue planet as they have always believed?
"Aid from the Russian bear? Absolutely not!"
Who knew that after hearing the speech of this lieutenant general.
Marshall's cold voice directly shattered the last bit of fantasy these people had.
"Mr. Lieutenant General, I want to ask you a question."
"Whether it's the South Korean army on the peninsula or the Western European countries, they are nominally our closest allies and are on the front lines against the communist camp."
"But, would you unconditionally hand over a fighter jet you just developed to them?"
"In particular, this aircraft has a speed of over Mach 1.5 and a maximum altitude of over 15000 meters."
"At the same time, it has a combat range of 1500 kilometers and possesses terrifying maneuverability that surpasses any current aircraft."
“This… won’t happen!”
After hearing Marshall's words, the lieutenant general pondered for a moment and honestly gave his answer.
A famous person in John's country said it well.
There are no eternal enemies, no eternal friends, only eternal interests!
If you develop a tank with superior performance, you might consider giving it to your allies for use.
After all, there are two oceans between them and the European countries and South Korea on the peninsula!
If their allies ever turn against them, they won't be able to drive their supporting tanks across thousands of kilometers of ocean to counterattack them!
But airplanes are different.
Tanks cannot compare with aircraft in terms of mobility or combat radius.
Not to mention, this aircraft has a combat range of 1500 kilometers!
You should know that the westernmost country in Europe is only 2400 kilometers away from the east coast of America.
In other words, as long as these planes refuel once in the air, they can directly attack the United States’ homeland!
This is a huge threat to the Americans.
After all, if it were before World War II, the few bombs carried by these planes might not have caused any real damage to the Americans.
However, since the emergence of mushroom bombs, even if these aircraft can only carry small-yield mushroom bombs, they can cause immeasurable damage to the Eagle Sauce!
"Very good, since a fool like you wouldn't make such a stupid decision!"
"Then why do you think that the top decision-makers of the Russian bear are even dumber than you?!"
After hearing the lieutenant general's answer.
Marshall gave almost no face to the lieutenant general and mocked him.
However, this is not the end, he added.
"You know, if our European allies want to attack us, they have to cross the Atlantic Ocean for thousands of kilometers!"
"But Mao Xiong and Long Guo are directly adjacent to each other!"
"That is to say, with this plane, what if Longguo and Maoxiong fall out again?"
"Then Longguo can rely on these planes to easily drop bombs on the Russian mainland, and even directly threaten the Russians' most important industrial bases!"
"If you were a high-ranking official in the Russian army, would you provide Dragon Nation with fighter jets that could directly threaten you?"
