Chapter 487 Starting a war?

The news that Yanguo officials will complete the "manned moon landing" and "lunar space base" within half a year caused an uproar in the world as soon as it was released.

In addition to the sudden collective silence of the North American media and the swarming of Western space agencies that suddenly changed their attitudes and hoped to cooperate with the Phoenix Group, the most intuitive impact of this incident is-several large commercial aerospace companies in the North American stock market.

Corporate stocks plummeted across the board.

Boeing, GE, Lockheed and Zesela were all spared.

There is no doubt that even though the market expectations were that the Phoenix Group could definitely achieve a "manned moon landing", when Yan Guo launched the "manned moon landing" ahead of schedule, the capital market still caused huge panic.

Speaking of which, I have to talk about the cost of rocket launch...

Phoenix Group previously developed the "Fufeng Series" launch vehicle and successfully implemented the "first-stage rocket recyclability technology", which completely broke SpeakX's monopoly on global space transportation missions, and even allowed SpeakX to be valued in the primary market.

Value plummeted.

And now, with the success of the Phoenix Group's "manned moon landing" and "lunar space base" just around the corner, it is a heavy blow to the entire North American commercial aerospace company. The Phoenix Group is undoubtedly ahead of all commercial companies in the world...

Just when Wall Street was in panic and had to reassess the value of listed commercial aerospace companies, North American executives and Washington also caused violent shocks.

but.

In a luxurious conference room at the center of North American power in Washington, Director Brinton, the head of the North American Federal Security Service, looked solemn and was carefully expressing his views.

"Mr. Jefferson, the situation is indeed similar to what you said."

"Especially those countries that we have always considered to be good partners, such as France, Adelaide, and Singapore... This time, not only did they not stand firmly on our side, but they wavered and even stood on Yan Guo's side.

."

Yes, Director Brinton is speaking every word very carefully, because all those participating in the meeting today are high-level decision-makers in North America, and even high-level military officials.

Yanguo began to prepare for a comprehensive challenge to the authority of North America.

After a while, an old white man wearing a black hat, a wrinkled face, and silver hair frowned and said in a deep voice:

"I am very familiar with this feeling. It was like this when we had a cold war with Mao Xiong 40 years ago. No matter in any field, no matter whether it is a core interest or not, as long as both sides intervene, neither side will give in."

Jefferson looked at everyone, then continued what he said before, and said:

"Obviously, because of the rise of Yan State, our global influence has been greatly challenged, and our status as a global leader has also been seriously threatened!"

"Honestly, I have only heard of such a tough tit-for-tat attitude 40 years ago, when the powerful red Soviet empire was at its peak!"

"This is also the reason why we have formulated a strategy to attack their "lunar joint development plan" during this period, because this is the last window period, and we must use every method to weaken the influence of their "lunar joint development plan."

"We have discussed how to limit the rise of the Yan Kingdom and how to target the development of the Yan Kingdom hundreds of times over the years. However, the situation at this time is more complicated and complicated. Faced with the current situation, please share your thoughts."

Although Yan Guo acted very tough in these matters, the matters involved were all Yan Guo's official core interests.

"but……"

In recent years, with the rapid economic development and significant increase in military strength, Yanguo's foreign attitude has also become tougher.

In fact, everyone present was very clear about what Brinton said and had personal experience.

"Such a situation has never happened before and is unimaginable. I think we must be particularly vigilant about such changes."

And a little more recently.

As soon as the words fell, everyone present felt heavy.

"During this period, the diplomatic difficulties we encountered in winning over diplomatic allies and denying the 'joint development plan for the moon' were far more difficult than imagined."

And now a "lunar development bill" is obviously not the core interest of Yanguo officials, but even so, Yanguo officials still refuse to give in. This change in attitude has revealed many problems.

Compared to the fluctuations in the stock market, Washington is more concerned about the tit-for-tat attitude shown by Yanguo officials this time!

After saying this, the old white man looked at Brinton and asked:

"In addition, I also heard that other countries' attitudes towards us have also changed in this matter, right?"

After saying this, without waiting for anyone else to speak, he looked at Brinton again and said:

After the words fell, the discussion started gradually, and many senior officials nodded slightly in agreement.

"This was absolutely impossible to happen before."

Everyone present seemed to have great respect for the old white man, and they all became quiet when they saw him talking.

"And what we can expect is that there will be more and more such situations in the future..."

Talk about a little further away.

In the border conflict with "New Delhi", Yan Guo exceeded everyone's expectations and quickly regained the actual control area that had been lost for many years.

The old white man Jefferson frowned slightly, and after a long time he sighed slowly:

but.

"According to Yan Guo's past practice, we believe that they will not be so aggressive in this matter and will still maintain their so-called strategic determination. After all, this matter does not involve their core interests."

For the first time in history, Yanguo officials forcefully demanded that North American companies "choose one of two": either join the "Chip Development Alliance" led by the Phoenix Group and use Yanguo's standards, or get out.

"Director Brinton, as the head of the Federal Security Agency, you have been fighting against Yan Guo for a long time. Please tell me your thoughts first."

"According to the latest situation we have, after Yan Guo announced its early moon landing yesterday, more countries have publicly supported them. The situation... seems to be worse than we imagined."

Such changes are enough to show that Yan Guo's attitude has quietly changed.

"I must admit that this time we completely misjudged the official attitude of Yan State. They seem to have completely changed their strategic thinking. They would rather take risks to confront us tit for tat and refuse to give in, even if it is just a non-core interest.

thing!"

"okay!"

Although the internal conflicts in North America were fierce, after learning that Yanguo officials were forcibly promoting the "manned moon landing" project, their internal conflicts were temporarily put aside, and "anti-Yanguo" became the current consensus.

Brinton did not dare to neglect, nodded and said:

Seeing that no one interrupted him, Director Brinton continued in a deep voice:

"In fact, whether it is based on the intelligence we have or the progress announced by the Phoenix Group themselves, according to the plan, they were originally scheduled to carry out the 'manned moon landing' project one year later."

Brinton was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses.

He did not speak in a hurry, but thought carefully before slowly standing up and preparing to speak.

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone was shocked.

"Everyone, my idea is to start a war."
