Chapter 1173 Family Affairs and World Affairs

Liu Tao smiled and didn't talk much about the aircraft carrier.

He won't talk about this at home, because he knows too much, and the secret will most likely be leaked when he talks about it.

If you want to avoid leaking secrets, it is best not to discuss this topic.

He hardly ever talks about it at home.

Just like now, the Type 003 aircraft carrier has been under construction for more than a year, and there are no reports about the Type 003 aircraft carrier at all.

Liu Tao never mentioned the Type 003 aircraft carrier to Zhu Lin.

Zhu Lin seemed to realize something and stopped talking about the Type 002B aircraft carrier. She had been married to Liu Tao for more than 20 years. She knew that this matter was confidential and it was best not to talk about it.

Don't talk about political matters, especially if you have any opinions about a certain comrade, whether they are good or bad, don't mention them.

Zhu Lin talked about the upcoming Olympics.

This year's Olympic Games will be held in Athens from August 13th to 29th. Of course, it does not mean that the competition will not start until August 13th, but the opening ceremony will be held on August 13th. This year's Olympic Games will open early. It lasts for two days, starting from August 11th.

Because all four of his children will participate in this year's Olympics, Zhu Lin is naturally very concerned about this year's Athens Olympics.

As the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is only one month away, the popularity of the Athens Olympics in China has also begun to heat up. More and more news reports have reported on the preparations for the Athens Olympics from all aspects, including venue construction, number of participants, volunteers, The construction status of the Olympic Village, security forces, etc.

Zhu Lin is most concerned about his superior performance in the Olympic Games.

Liu Jingming and his teammates have just won the NBA championship in the 2003-2004 season, achieving five consecutive championships. This is Liu Jingming’s fifth championship after entering the NBA in 1999. Liu Jingming, O’Neal, and Kobe teamed up to achieve five consecutive championships. After winning the championship, Karl Malone announced his retirement, and Gary Payton announced that he would no longer stay with the Lakers. Both of them came to the Lakers for the championship. Now they have realized it. One has chosen to retire, and the other is pursuing a bigger contract.

Liu Jingming, who won five consecutive championships, continues to maintain his position as China's number one sports superstar.

The Huaxia Men's Basketball Team now has six NBA players, including two All-Stars, Liu Jingming and Yao Ming, two inside and outside combinations, plus the other four. The starters in the NBA are all strong teams. In 2002 In the Basketball World Cup, the China Men's Basketball Team defeated its opponents and won the Basketball World Cup for the first time, achieving the milestone of winning the World Series for the first time.

In this Athens Olympics, the Chinese men's basketball team is sitting on the sidelines, not without a chance to win the championship.

Liu Yingqing, during the Athens Olympics cycle, has won gold medals in women's swimming and set four world records. If nothing else, we will win at least three gold medals at the Athens Olympics.

Liu Qing'an and Liu Manhua are already professional tennis players. One of them is currently ranked third in the world in men's tennis, and the other is ranked second in the world in women's tennis.

Compared with Zhu Lin who often pays attention to his children's careers, Liu Tao rarely pays attention to them.

In his view, if children choose their own careers, they only need to be supported to go on bravely. As for their final achievements, it doesn't matter.

Besides, athletes thrive on their youth. Whether it’s basketball, swimming, or tennis, their physical fitness will decline as they age. No matter how experienced they are, they will eventually retire.

An athlete's career is just a part of their life, and there is a longer road ahead.

This is why, when they become professional athletes, Liu Tao's only requirement is not to give up studying.

Early the next morning, Liu Tao got up.

At the headquarters of Panshan Group, Liu Tao browsed the topics for the mid-year party group meeting, signed his name, and the secretary sent the notice of the mid-year party group meeting to other party group members, as well as those invited to attend the meeting.

After finishing his work, Liu Tao took a look at the news compiled by his secretary.

This is a very important way for him to understand current events.

After learning about the news about China, Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, and South Asia, Liu Tao took a look at the news about the United States.

The biggest news in the United States is the election.

It's no secret that George Walton is seeking re-election.

The U.S. election is very interesting. The primary election begins on February 3, the party conference is held from June to September to confirm the candidates, and then it is held on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November.

Those who intend to run for office today are all calling for an end to the war in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Even the United States cannot feel the huge costs of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Moreover, high military expenditures have also severely squeezed other expenditures, which puts George Wharton in a very unfavorable situation.

I watched the news in the United States and then moved to Europe.

The most recent major event in Europe is the Constitutional Treaty of the European Union. The Constitutional Treaty of the European Union is the first constitution of the European Union. Its purpose is to ensure the effective operation of the European Union and the smooth progress of the European integration process.

As early as 2001, the European Union decided to start formulating a constitution and set up a constitution-making preparatory committee in the "Laiken Declaration" of the EU Summit in Leken, Belgium. After three years, the EU Constitutional Treaty was finally adopted.

The adoption of the EU Constitutional Treaty also represents another step forward for the EU towards European integration.

With the formation of the Franco-German alliance, France and Germany are driving the entire European Union forward, especially as Germany breaks away from the control of the United States. There are no more US and British troops and military bases in Germany, which gives Germany greater autonomy and more initiative.

For example, Merkel is negotiating with Russia on the construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline project.

The Nord Stream 2 pipeline project is a natural gas pipeline that no longer passes through Ukraine, but directly goes through the Baltic Sea and finally reaches Germany. It is 1,224 kilometers long.

This pipeline can transport 55 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year. The benefits of this natural gas pipeline are self-evident, and it is of great benefit to Germany and Russia.

For Russia, it can directly transport natural gas to Germany, expand the share of Russian natural gas in the European market, export natural gas steadily every year to make money, and it can also symbolize that the relationship between Germany and Russia has taken a step forward.

For Germany, with this natural gas pipeline, there will be less interference and a more stable energy supply.

As the leader of the European economy, Germany's economic development is the best in the whole of Europe, and its economic strength is also the strongest.

The EU provides Germany with a vast market, which was unimaginable during World War I and World War II.

As for getting closer to Russia, Germany itself has no ill feelings towards Russia, and does not have such a deep hatred.

Russia's market is not small, which is also conducive to the development of German companies in Russia. (End of this chapter)
