I'm Doing Scientific Research In A Junior College. What Are You Afraid Of, Yingjiang?

445. Han Yue Puts More Pressure On Yingjiang Than A Bear!

Soon, these congressmen and gentlemen of Yingjiang came back to their senses.

The superpower Yingjiang lists Han Yue as a strategic rival and national security threat?

Although it sounds very absurd.

But when I think about it carefully, this is really what happened.

Before Han Yue appeared, Yingjiang had always had the upper hand in various confrontations with the Dragon Kingdom.

Less than a year ago, after Han Yue suddenly appeared, things developed in an absurd direction.

No matter what Yingjiang does, everything will not go smoothly. Any sanctions and blockades will be cracked by Han Yue using scientific research methods.

So it seems reasonable to say that Han Yue is Yingjiang's strategic rival.

"Silence! Silence! What is going on now is the approval of the 2024 national defense budget! This proposal will be discussed later!" Mr. Yingjiang Councilor said loudly.

Then, the House of Representatives began to approve the US$842 billion defense budget.

After some speeches and mobilization just made by the person in charge of national defense.

The current Yingjiang congressmen have basically unified their thinking.

Increase! Increase military spending!

Expand! Expand the army!

Do him or something!

Despite the fiscal deficit, we must maintain the military room!

For Yingjiang, if it loses its military hegemony, other financial, technological, and cultural hegemonies will soon burst like bubbles.

As a result, the Yingjiang House of Representatives passed the defense budget proposal with a rare unanimous vote!

This is the first time that the defense budget has been passed unanimously after the disintegration of Mao Xiong.

To a certain extent, Han Yue alone puts more pressure on Yingjiang than the superpower of Mao Xiong.

The defense budget passed.

Next comes the discussion of details.

That’s the part of dividing the cake.

There are four branches of the military: Air Force, Navy, Army and Marine Corps

Among them, the Navy and Air Force are the absolute core, while the Army is not taken seriously. The Marine Corps is the only army that Commander Yingjiang can call to bypass Congress, and can be called the Imperial Guard. However, it is restricted by Congress, and military expenditures are always at a minimum.

Therefore, in the Eagle Army, the Navy is the first class, the Air Force is the second class, the Army is the third class, and in the Marine Corps, Marine is called the fourth class. Grandma does not love those who do not love her uncle. .

This time, the budget allocation is basically the same. US$185.3 billion is allocated for the Army, US$259.2 billion is allocated for the Air Force, and US$255.8 billion is allocated for the Navy. A total of US$141.7 billion is allocated for various national defense programs. As for the Marine Corps, that is basically ignored. They just use the Navy. Aircraft carriers and amphibious landing ships will do.

Among them, the focus of discussion this time is the budget allocation of the Navy. After all, the navy was shocked by Han Yue two months ago, so Yingjiang's grandfathers focused on improving the strength of the navy.

The budget plans to purchase 9 new combat ships and 88 combat aircraft, and inject funds into the Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and Columbia-class strategic nuclear submarines that are under construction.

The nine ships include one Columbia-class strategic nuclear submarine, two Burke-class destroyers, two Virginia-class attack nuclear submarines, two Constellation-class frigates, one John-class fleet tanker and one AS(X) submarine support ship.

It's so pitiful to see how far Yingjiang's shipbuilding has stretched.

With a defense budget of more than 200 billion US dollars, it can only build 9 ships a year.

On the other hand, building warships in the Dragon Kingdom is like making dumplings.

The most frightening thing is that in the next year, more warships will be decommissioned than will be commissioned.

The design life of a destroyer or cruiser is 30-35 years. The first ship of Eagle's main cruiser, the Ticonderoga class, was commissioned in 1986 and has been in service for 35 years today. Even the youngest USS Port Royal is It is an old ship that was commissioned in 1994. It has been in service for 28 years now.

.

According to the design lifespan, next year, all 22 Ticonderoga-class cruisers will reach the end of their service life and it is time to retire!

The average age of Yingjiang's 68 Burke-class destroyers is more than 20 years, and a large number of them will be retired in the next few years!

In other words, the size of Yingjiang's navy will become smaller and smaller!

On the other side, the naval power of the Dragon Kingdom is equivalent to an increase in the navy of a rooster every year. The navy here in Yingjiang has fewer ships year by year.

Now, when the ship is at its peak, it was hit by three missiles from Han Yue. Even after being slapped, it didn't dare to fight back. It could only run away. So what should we do in the future?

Can we still fight against the Dragon Kingdom on the ocean in the future?

It's impossible to fight, you know?

Therefore, Commander Ying Jiang was very dissatisfied and said directly: "I object to this budget allocation plan! Our navy should get more military spending! We want to build more Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, more nuclear submarines and more Aegis Destroyer! Only this way can we fight against the growing threat of Dragon Kingdom.

Several other branches of the military were not happy.

Now, the total military budget has been set, which is 842 billion. If the navy wants more, the other militaries will have less.

So a general of the Air Force said sarcastically: "What's the use of having so many warships in your navy? What's the use of building so many expensive nuclear-powered aircraft carriers? Wasn't it scared away by Han Yue from the Dragon Kingdom who launched three missiles? Nuclear power Aircraft carrier? Just a moving steel tomb!"

"The future must belong to hypersonic missiles and stealth fighters!"
