447. The Air Force And The Navy Are At Loggerheads
In response, the Yingjiang Air Force was both angry and frightened.
Han Yue develops hypersonic anti-ship missiles, which Yingjiang’s current technical strength simply cannot achieve!
If you can't catch up, you can't catch up at all!
This is the first time that Yingjiang has been left so far behind by other countries in the military field.
This is something that none of the former superpowers, Big Bear, has ever done.
But now, Han Yue has done it single-handedly.
However, the team that developed hypersonic missiles at Yingjiang frequently broke out in scandals.
Dr. James Gold, the Air Force's senior hypersonic missile scientist, is accused of fraudulently hiring 32-year-old sex worker Amanda Savino in 2017 to join Patterson Air Force Base in charge of driving 14 hypersonic jet engines. and Rocket's team so that the sex worker could continue to provide services to him without his wife's knowledge.
In addition, Gold was also found to have "patronized" at least 27 other sex workers while on business trips, and used "government travel cards" to pay for their "service fees."
This made Yingjiang lose all face.
Especially in contrast to the Dragon Kingdom. It was even more embarrassing.
Han Yue of Renjia Longguo has single-handedly developed a hypersonic missile that far exceeds our PPT in such a short period of time.
Our scientists who develop hypersonic missiles recruit sex workers into the team to be responsible for research and development?
What can she develop?
New posture?
What the hell!
The gap between people is so huge!
The top brass of Yingjiang Air Force are fully aware of the current gap.
They were really anxious.
Therefore, the purpose of the Yingjiang Air Force this time is to obtain as much scientific research funding as possible. All are invested in the research and development of hypersonic missiles.
The annual military expenditure of Yingjiang is fixed. The Air Force will get more, while the Navy, Army and Marine Corps will get less.
For this reason, the Yingjiang Air Force is also willing to fight for more funds, even at the expense of deepening conflicts with other military services.
then,
Only General Yingjiang Air Force would publicly ridicule the Navy aircraft carrier being scared away by the Dragon Kingdom hypersonic missile on Capitol Hill.
"Members of Congress, we have to admit that Blue Star's war pattern has completely changed! In future wars, the role of hypersonic missiles will be beyond imagination!"
"But our Eagle Sauce lags far behind the Dragon Kingdom in this regard! It will bring us a huge strategic disadvantage! This is intolerable to us!"
"Han Yue of the Dragon Kingdom has proved one thing with facts. The aircraft carrier has fallen behind! In future wars, it will not be able to play its due role!"
"And our aircraft carriers are so expensive! The USS Foot, which cost US$13 billion, has been launched for ten years, but it still has no combat effectiveness! This is a huge waste!"
"Therefore, I propose to cut the Navy's funding for aircraft carrier manufacturing and use all the money to develop hypersonic missiles!"
After General Yingjiang Air Force finished speaking, the scene suddenly fell into silence.
Cut funding for aircraft carriers to build hypersonic missiles?
Will this work?
The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier has always been a symbol of the Eagle Army. It is the embodiment of the will of the country.
No matter when, military expenditures give priority to building nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.
They never thought that one day, someone would propose cutting funding for nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.
The generals of the Yingjiang Navy were almost furious.
Their air force is so shameless! In order to grab military funds, they even say such things.
"You...you...the aircraft carrier is our symbol, how can we cut the budget?"
"As for the Ford-class aircraft carrier, although there are still some problems now, they are all in our plan and will be solved soon and officially deployed!"
"Our navy can also develop hypersonic missiles, so why do we have to allocate money to your air force?"
Admiral Yingjiang refuted Air Force 363's statement, but it was not very convincing.
After all, the fleet of seven aircraft carriers of the Eagle Navy launched more than 500 standard series missiles but failed to intercept the Dragon Kingdom's hypersonic missiles, and then they were frightened and fled.
The whole world is watching.
The senior executives of Yingjiang also complained about the navy's embarrassing behavior.
Many people have also thought about whether the current strategy of giving priority to aircraft carriers should be changed?
As for them saying that the navy can also develop hypersonic missiles, they are just talking nonsense.
Unlike Mao Xiong and Longguo, Yingjiang does not have a strategic missile force, except for submarine-launched ballistic missiles carried by nuclear submarines. All other nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles belong to the Air Force.
Hypersonic missiles are basically used to carry nuclear weapons.
According to Yingjiang's tradition, hypersonic missiles should be developed and deployed by the Yingjiang Air Force. .
