448. Yingjiang Is So Desperate That It Won’T Even Build A Nuclear-Powered Aircraft Carrier.
If it were the past, the Eagle Air Force would definitely not be able to compete with the Eagle Navy.
The navy of Yingjiang is a first-class person, and the air force can only be regarded as a second-class person.
There is a saying that a ten-year army is a hundred-year navy.
No one ever said anything about a century-old air force.
Although the fifth-generation stealth aircraft is also very expensive, compared with the navy, it pales into insignificance.
And most importantly, the Navy is an outward-looking service.
The existing history of sea power has shaped the international order with strict demarcation standards for the oceans, which also allows the navy to project power legally and less restricted by national boundaries. The navy's greatest advantage is its ability to project power over long distances. Remote delivery will also embed the interests of multiple parties, and this complex relationship goes far beyond a one-to-one game.
For example, if you want to use the air force to deter a country, you can only build airports on the land of allies around the country. After all, the range of fighter jets is limited.
It is very convenient to use the navy for deterrence. You can just drive the aircraft carrier battle group over and that's it.
Moreover, it is more deterrent and more flexible.
The cost of maintaining an air base in an ally is much greater than the cost of deploying a fleet.
And Yingjiang has always done this before.
If any country becomes dishonest and something major happens, it will send an aircraft carrier battle group there.
Then that country will be honest.
For Yingjiang, there is nothing that cannot be solved by an aircraft carrier battle group.
If one aircraft carrier battle group doesn't work, then add another one!
In this world, there are very few countries that will not surrender in the face of the Yingjiang aircraft carrier battle group.
But that was only before.
The myth that the Yingjiang Navy's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier battle group is invincible has been broken.
To deal with small countries, one aircraft carrier battle group is enough.
A medium-sized country, a regional overlord, and two aircraft carrier battle groups will make the other side weak.
In order to deter the Dragon Kingdom and make the Dragon Kingdom surrender, Yingjiang sent out all four nuclear-powered aircraft carriers currently available. (Yingjiang currently has eleven nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, two of which are waiting to replace nuclear reactors, three of which are undergoing mid-term overhaul, one is being repaired, and one is performing missions in the Middle East.)
They also brought three aircraft carriers from their allies. A super fleet of seven aircraft carriers was formed.
According to previous concepts, this is the strongest fleet in human history. Any country will be extremely frightened when seeing such a fleet.
But such a nearly invincible fleet was scared away by the Dragon Kingdom with three missiles.
It simply disgraced the Eagle Sauce Navy and turned it into a laughing stock.
So this time there is a dispute between the Air Force and the Navy.
Many congressmen began to murmur in their hearts.
Damn it, even the navy's aircraft carriers were scared away by Long Guo's hypersonic missiles. Also said that this hypersonic missile cannot be intercepted.
In that case, why are we still spending so much money on nuclear-powered aircraft carriers?
A Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier costs 13 billion U.S. dollars, and then equipped with destroyers, nuclear submarines, and carrier-based aircraft, the cost is approaching 30 billion U.S. dollars.
Such an expensive battle group was scared away by three hypersonic missiles.
Since the hypersonic missile developed by Han Yue of the Dragon Kingdom is so powerful, why don’t we just build hypersonic missiles?
As a result, the battle over the distribution of military expenditures in Yingjiang quickly came to an end.
The Eagle Air Force completely crushed the Eagle Navy this time.
Among them is a total of 842 billion U.S. dollars in military spending. The Air Force has monopolized 360 billion! The navy's military expenditure has shrunk from 255.8 billion to 199 billion, the army's military expenditure has shrunk to more than 130 billion, and the Marine Corps has been even worse, and the three melons and two dates in its pocket have also been taken out.
Originally this was a battle between the Navy and the Air Force. It has nothing to do with the Army and Ma Run (Marine Corps). The two of them, who were in the third and fourth classes, laughed at the first- and second-class people pulling their hair out.
However, the Navy suffered a big loss from the Air Force, so naturally it was not willing to let the Army and Marine Corps stay out of the matter.
The first class of labor and management will suffer, and you, the third and fourth class, will also have to bleed heavily!
As a result, the Yingjiang Air Force became the biggest winner of this military spending proposal!
Soon, Yingjiang announced its military spending proposal for the new year.
Reduce funding for the Navy's nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, nuclear-powered submarines, and amphibious landing ships.
Cut funding for the Army's new-generation infantry fighting vehicles, new-generation artillery and new individual combat weapons.
All this funding will be invested in the research of hypersonic missiles.
The whole world was shocked.
Is Yingjiang crazy?
Was this because Han Yue killed her so hard?
Even the first-class people in the Navy have no face, and even the appearance of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier has been reduced.
This requires ALLIN to be superb.
Many military commentators were shocked.
They all lamented that the world has changed. Yingjiang is no longer building a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
A new form of war is really coming in the future. .
