Chapter 1203: Enthusiastic Response

"Wow, so many warships were delivered to Saudi Arabia at one time, and they all look so majestic!"

"Watching the carrier-based aircraft take off vertically, I got goosebumps!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, Saudi Arabia is now one of the few countries in the world with three aircraft carriers, and has become one of the top five naval powers in the world!"

"If anyone tells me that money can't buy a strong national defense, I will definitely slap him! Isn't this how the rich Saudi Arabia bought a strong national defense!?"

"Only at this time, the warships under CCTV's lens are so majestic, real steel behemoths! What are the warships that were usually photographed in the past? The Type 052 destroyer can be photographed as a fishing boat."

"You have to watch the French Press to shoot this kind of thing. I have been calling for it. If not, the Central Bank can go to the French Press to buy a few people back. They Only then can we be professional. Look at what we have filmed before!"

"Zhijia: There is nothing that cannot be captured by one lens. AFP: How can one lens capture it? Pay attention to details, details!"

"After a century of slumber, I woke up and found myself to be the great power!"

"Alas, our navy still has only one Type 001 aircraft carrier and one Type 002 aircraft carrier. We only have two aircraft carriers. We don't know when the Type 002B aircraft carrier will be delivered. We are in the era of two aircraft carriers, while Saudi Arabia has three aircraft carriers! Can we be more motivated? At least each province has an aircraft carrier!"

"For the first time, I found that the Type 052 destroyer is so big!"

"Zhanhuoju: You, you have fooled around again this year! (dog head)"

"."

Domestic netizens discussed and commented on the Internet.

And those who watched this delivery ceremony were not only China, but also other countries.

There were all kinds of comments.

"What's the big deal? Two light aircraft carriers of only 20,000 tons. We in the United States are too lazy to even build them. What's the use of such small toys? We will retire even the 80,000-ton large aircraft carriers like the Forrestal class. Oh, and in a few years, we in the United States will retire even the 80,000-ton Kitty Hawk class aircraft carriers. In 2010, we will have 10 Nimitz-class aircraft carriers, 100,000-ton super-large nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and one ship will be equivalent to 100 light aircraft carriers."

"Everyone knows that light aircraft carriers are useless. They are just cannon fodder in war. The British, as the originators of light aircraft carriers, have given up the development of light aircraft carriers. If they want to build large nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, the aircraft carriers must be large nuclear-powered."

"One F14 fighter jet in the United States can destroy this aircraft carrier formation."

"It's not good-looking, and it's not useful!"

In the United States, all cabinet members watched the live broadcast of this delivery ceremony.

Looking at the two aircraft carriers, as well as 4 Type 052 destroyers, 8 Type 054 frigates, 4 Type 039 submarines, 2 integrated supply ships, 6 Type 022 missile boats, and 6 Type 022A torpedo boats, everyone's face was not good.

These warships are very advanced, and they are all new warships, not second-hand goods!

The aircraft carriers are equipped with "Sea Eagle" carrier-based aircraft and "Ray Eagle" helicopters. Looking at those missile launchers, I'm afraid they are all equipped with missiles.

This means that these warships can be used at any time.

The Americans have the most say in the performance of China's "Eagle Strike" anti-ship missiles and "Aegis" air defense missile systems.

The Americans have suffered a lot and paid a heavy price for the "Eagle Strike" anti-ship missiles and "Aegis" air defense missile systems.

"Now Saudi Arabia has obtained two more aircraft carriers, which can form three aircraft carrier formations. Let's see, can the original plan still be implemented?" George Walton said with a dark face.

On Christmas, the United States broadcast live nationwide. The U.S. Marine Corps used tanks to pull down the statue of Saddam in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. At the same time, the U.S. Marine Corps 1st Division took over Saddam's hometown "Tikrit" and held a military parade in Tikrit. George Walton announced with high spirits that the joint forces had won a complete victory in the Iraq War.

This greatly increased the reputation of the United States, and George Walton's poll approval rate exceeded 60%.

Even though the joint forces paid a heavy price in the Iraq War, the winners do not need to be blamed.

According to the plan formulated by the United States, the next step is to use means to divide and disintegrate the Arab League, dismember the Arab League, divide Arab countries, force Saudi Arabia and other countries to re-sign the agreement, and reshape the petrodollar system.

The petrodollar is the most important pillar of the dollar hegemony.

After the collapse of the Bretton Woods system, the dollar can still be used as a world currency because the dollar has found an anchor - oil!

Through the petrodollar system, the United States can print dollars continuously and then buy oil and various commodities from all over the world.

But now, the dollar has faced very serious challenges.

The European Union launched the euro and established the eurozone, which made the eurozone countries use the euro uniformly. The euro has also become the foreign exchange reserve currency of many countries.

The second is the renminbi. The internationalization process of the renminbi is too fast. Even Iraq almost uses renminbi to settle oil and natural gas exports. Persia also uses renminbi to settle oil and natural gas. Saudi Arabia and other major energy exporting countries use renminbi to settle accounts. The proportion of renminbi settlement is constantly increasing.

In order to attack the euro, the Americans ignited the Balkans, the European powder keg, and launched the Kosovo War. The Americans did not rush to end the Kosovo War quickly, but to make Europe panic about the war, so that capital outflows to the United States.

This move did hit the newly born euro to a great extent, causing the euro to depreciate sharply against the US dollar, and a large amount of capital fled to the United States and the East.

The United States launched the Iraq War not because Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction, but because of Iraq's oil and natural gas, and used it as a springboard to gain Gulf hegemony and control the world's energy center in the Middle East.

In the final analysis, it was also for the US dollar!

This made Iraq's original oil and natural gas settlements all gone. In the future, when Iraq resumes oil and natural gas production and exports, it will naturally be settled in US dollars.

The original plan of the United States was to force Saudi Arabia and other countries to no longer use other currencies to settle oil and natural gas transactions, and all agreed to use the US dollar as the settlement currency.

But now that Saudi Arabia has three aircraft carrier formations, is Saudi Arabia still willing?

And with the end of the Iraq War, the original joint forces have begun to quarrel.

The French and German troops withdrew from Iraq on New Year's Day. The Kurds are making a fuss because the Kurdish mountainous area that the Americans gave them is still in the hands of the Iraqi army. If the Kurds want to establish an independent country, they have to attack the Kurdish mountainous area themselves, which makes the Kurds, who have paid a great price, very dissatisfied.

Turkey is also dissatisfied. Turkey has dispatched so many troops and paid such a high price, but has not gained any territory, and the oil fields that have been divided are very small, which can barely make up for Turkey’s losses, but cannot bring Turkey any benefits.

The biggest fat meat in Iraq has been eaten by the Americans, and the remaining meat is eaten by the British.

The benefits of others are far less than those of the British. (End of this chapter)
