Siheyuan: Happy life of the son-in-law of a founding general

Soon, heads of multiple departments including the Eagle Sauce military, intelligence, and homeland security departments came to President Johnson's office.

Johnson got straight to the point and said, "Gentlemen, Daxia's successful rocket launch not only demonstrates their technical strength, but also announces to the world that they have the ability to carry out long-range strikes. This means that our security borders are facing unprecedented challenges."

"Yes, Mr. President, we must respond." The head of the military department said immediately, "We need to increase scientific research funding and speed up the development of rockets."

Johnson glanced at the military representatives and pinched his nose, trying to ease his tense nerves. "These military representatives just like to ask for money. They keep asking for money. They keep asking for more funding. They are so greedy."

So too, Commander Johns did not say directly, "Gentlemen, I need a comprehensive plan, not only to accelerate our own research and development process, but also to consider how to balance Daxia's influence in diplomacy."

"We will immediately launch an emergency response plan and increase military deployment around Daxia." The head of the Eagle Sauce military said immediately.

"What kind of bullshit suggestion is this? Don't we have enough troops around Daxia?" Johnson was tired and began to ask the head of the intelligence department, "When can you confirm the authenticity of Daxia's rocket test?"

"One week, Mr. President," said Broad, the head of intelligence.

"Mr. Broad, a week is too slow. I need confirmation in one day."

“…”Broad.

Broad was also tired, and was most afraid of an amateur leading an expert. He had to explain why it took a week.

After hearing this, Johnson immediately said, "Mr. Broad, how about we send another Global Hawk high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft over there?"

Brod was silent for a while before he said, "Okay."

Soon, the relevant order was issued. At a military airport with the highest level of confidentiality, the most advanced high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft of the United States quietly took off. The target was Daxia.

The meeting continues.

The head of the Department of Homeland Security said that there is no need to worry about any security threats from Daxia to the United States.

This gave Johnson reassurance.

Johnson nodded, but still said: "Okay, but we still can't take it lightly."

"Gentlemen, what we need to do is stay ahead, not just catch up. Alan, we need to ensure that there is enough money and resources invested in this competition."

Then there are targeted strategies. For example, if the rocket test-fired by Daxia is true, it should be reported in the American media. This will make the American people nervous. Only when they are nervous can they better increase various expenses.

In a word, only by making the senior officials in Congress feel a sense of crisis can we better ask for money.

Not only the U.S. defense department thinks so, but President Johnson also thinks so.

However, the Eagle Sauce's Global Hawk high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft arrived in the airspace of Daxia and immediately began high-altitude reconnaissance.

An hour later, the radar of the Mushroom Research Base discovered it. After Wang Zhiyong received the report, he immediately ordered the anti-aircraft guns to prepare for battle. Afterwards, he waited for the Eagle Sauce's high-altitude reconnaissance plane to fly over and let the gunners open fire.

Wang Zhiyong was the one who fired the shots several times before. Now Wang Zhiyong began to let the gunners he had trained fire the shots.

After two shells, the Eagle Sauce's high-altitude reconnaissance plane was immediately shot down.

Soon, the soldiers from the Mushroom Research Base drove to pick up the wreckage of the Eagle Sauce high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, dragged it back, and turned it into scientific research.

The electronic technology of the Eagle Sauce is indeed much more advanced than that of the Great Xia. This is simply a gift of treasure, so great.

Daxia was very happy here. Over there, the Eagle found that its high-altitude reconnaissance plane could not be contacted again. It knew that this should not be a plane crash, but was shot down by Daxia's air defense force.

I previously thought it was a plane accident, but now it seems that something is not right.

But how come Daxia’s radar and anti-aircraft guns are so powerful?

However, when Johnson received the news that the Global Hawk was likely shot down, he could not help but stand up suddenly, almost spilling the coffee in his hand, and his face instantly froze with an expression of disbelief. "How... is this possible?"

Not only Johnson, but other bigwigs in the Eagle Sauce's defense, intelligence, and homeland security departments were all very surprised.

"Mr. President, the Global Hawk... was shot down." The head of the Department of Homeland Security couldn't help but tremble slightly in his voice. This was not only a loss of equipment and a loss of face, but also a strong worry about future insecurity.

Afterwards, Johnson immediately convened another emergency meeting. In the meeting room, heads of various departments and relevant experts all sat around with solemn expressions, and the atmosphere was suffocating.

"Our Global Hawk was shot down in Daxia's airspace, which means that Daxia's air defense system has become quite powerful." Allen knocked on the table and said, "Gentlemen, we need a more covert and less risky plan to collect intelligence, and we must respond resolutely to this matter."

Soon, the officials and experts present reached a consensus to continue upgrading the Global Hawk technology and to vigorously promote rocket technology research, and continue... continue...

The next day, Johnson delivered an important speech, acknowledging the authenticity of the U.S. rocket test and saying that by doing so, U.S. was escalating the confrontation...

"Today, I stand here to tell every citizen of the United States, as well as friends and opponents around the world, that we will not be afraid or back down in the face of potential challenges. We will promote scientific and technological innovation at a faster pace and with higher efficiency to ensure our national security and global leadership..."

Daxia was speechless when he saw Yingjiang so panicked.

Then he answered questions from the relevant media. He mentioned that Daxia developed rockets out of scientific research needs, to see how to better use rockets and strive to land on the moon in the future.

Yes, Daxia’s propaganda directly talked about landing on the moon.

"We in Daxia have always seen many beautiful legends about the moon. We also want to try and see if we can go to the moon."

Wang Zhian was the one who suggested that Daxia develop rockets for the purpose of landing on the moon. Because of the loss of control in another aspect, Eagle Sauce and Bear Bear started a fierce competition in this regard. As a result, Eagle Sauce cheated and made Bear Bear suffer a great loss, and finally the economy collapsed.

Wang Zhian naturally thought of this, which is why he said this.

Mr. Meng seemed puzzled and asked why he said that.

"It's very simple. We are leading in rocket technology now. The Eagles will definitely be anxious and will spend a lot of money to advance it. Then we will continue to make up some false data and let the Eagles keep following us. This will make them financially exhausted, and we will be able to catch up better in other areas."

“……”Mr. Meng.
