【Chapter 460: Dilemma and coping strategies】

While the people around the world are hotly discussing the whale shark and the Southern Navy fleet, think tanks from various countries are constantly consulting, especially the major powers are evaluating what impact the incident will have on the global landscape, and their attitude towards Americans is particularly concerned.

Just as the Whale Shark was exposed, the Pentagon and the White House in the United States were already busy. Analyses of all sizes and think tanks were constantly discussing, all to deal with the impact of the incident.

The then-US president was full of energy when he first took office, but in just a few years since he took office, his originally black hair had already appeared in a large amount of gray hair.

Because today's America is not easy, many people miss the last century, which is the era that truly belongs to the United States.

I thought that with the fall of the Soviet Union, the United States would usher in a new era as its biggest enemy passed away, but today's form is not optimistic. The eastern country on the other side of the Pacific is rising in all aspects from many fields such as economy, politics, technology, and military. This seriously hinders the United States' global interests and its global hegemony has also faced new challenges.

Especially after the exposure of the whale shark, this situation has changed from implicit to obvious, which is definitely not a good thing for the United States.

The "Dumen Island" incident in Malaysia is undoubtedly the fuse. Recently, with the drastic changes in Malaysia's political trend, the water in Southeast Asia has become increasingly turbid.

As the United States' intervene in Malaysia continues to deepen, its powerful aircraft carrier battle groups are increasingly moving from the other side of the Pacific to Southeast Asia. Especially not long ago, after the Seventh Fleet arrived in Southeast Asia, two major US Navy aircraft carrier battle groups led by the USS Stanis and Reagan jointly held a large-scale drill near the Philippines.

The real purpose is just like Sima Zhao's heart, which is known to everyone. With such a big foothold, Malaysia is not qualified to enjoy this kind of "treatment", but in fact it is just to induce a naked/naked/naked military shock to the major powers in the northern region.

However, the exposure of the whale shark and the entry into the southern fleet completely disrupted the American deployment in Southeast Asia, and it can be said that it was completely distracted.

Washington, DC, White House.

The then-US President looked at a number of think tanks and senior American officials and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the current situation is extremely unfavorable to the United States. Is there any way to go back to the passive situation today?"

The US Secretary of Defense said: "We are the most powerful country in the world today, especially the navy is the world's top. The navy is the backbone of protecting the United States' overseas interests and strategic deterrence and military strikes against global facts. But today we are facing unprecedented challenges from other navies in the new century."

"What I want is a response strategy, how to go back to today's passive situation in Southeast Asia." The then president looked at the Secretary of Defense, "Can our fleet win the war?"

"If it were before, there was no problem. But we have a very weak chance of winning against a fleet with a whale shark underwater aircraft carrier, Mr. President." A senior adviser replied.

"This is the key to the problem." The president looked around everyone: "The navy is the symbol of the United States. Not only that, the navy is also an important tool for the United States to global hegemony and power. The vast aircraft carrier formation and its combat groups sailing in the four oceans are the embodiment of the United States' global will. If the navy symbolizes the will of the United States cannot win a war..."

The president paused, his eyelids shook slightly, and he looked at everyone: "We will surely let America go through a violent psychological impact from top to bottom. Once the horn of war begins, we must win."

"The war with the largest economy is not what the United States wants, nor is it in the interests of the United States overseas." The president said: "But the situation in Southeast Asia today is not what the United States wants..."

Everyone was silent. Obviously, with the exposure of the whale shark, the opponent on the other side showed their first hand. The game between the two sides was once again the United States' turn to play cards. Now the whole world is silently watching what kind of reaction the United States will make in Southeast Asia.

However, it is very difficult for the United States to use a beautiful card, and it has reached a dilemma. Faced with a large number of Chinese companies stationed in Malaysia, it has seriously hindered the West's economic sanctions on Malaysia. If the United States only deals with its opponents with political condemnation and economic sanctions, it is obviously very illusory. Economic sanctions are not wise, so there is only so-called political condemnation.

But this will never conform to the practices and styles that the United States, as a global hegemon, is precisely because countries around the world regard it as the world hegemon and have a strong global overall military force. If they do not take some practical actions, the United States' hegemony in the world is likely to be shaken, causing its global political prestige to be greatly reduced. This will set an example for other countries and regions, and they will see that the United States will "retreat".

Obviously, the appearance of the whale shark has forced the White House to a dilemma where it is neither advancing nor retreating. If it is its status and dignity as a global hegemon, in order to defend it, it is necessary to take tough practical actions in Southeast Asia.

"If there is a war conflict, how much can it be controlled?" the president asked after a long time of silence.

"Mr. President, if a local war conflict breaks out, it will definitely not be an asymmetric war. The opponent is the second largest economy in the world. The front is extremely unfavorable for the United States. If the naval fleet is severely damaged or even the aircraft carrier is sunk, this battle may escalate into a full-scale war, a war that may pose a threat to both sides' homeland." A think tank said, paused and added: "He is not a small country. Although the United States has experienced wars for many years, those are asymmetric wars and has never felt pressure. In fact, we have not experienced wars between major powers for decades."

"I don't quite agree with the outbreak of conflicts. The situation has exceeded the situation where the United States can control it freely." Someone said.

"It's not a question of whether we want to fight, Secretary of State. The current situation is a situation where we have to fight, but if there is no action and nothing can be done, the US's hegemony in the world will be shaken."

The Secretary of State ignored the person who spoke, but looked at the president: "Why not hit him and explore their voices."

The Secretary of State looked at the president and glanced at the red hotline. The phone could connect to the other side. The Secretary of State's proposal was self-evident. He said: "Mr. President, I don't think the other party wants to see the escalation of the situation. The current situation is that the United States must have a step down."

"For example, this step..." the president asked back.

The Secretary of State thought about it and said: "A unilateral compromise is not possible. The other side cannot compare with the former Soviet Union in military terms, but it has surpassed the Soviet Union in economic terms. We are unwilling to admit that we must face the fact that it is already a world superpower."

"So..." The president raised his hand and pointed at the Secretary of State.

The Secretary of State continued: "For global peace and stability, the United States should demonstrate its demeanor of a great power. As a global leader (hegemony), the United States should take the lead in world stability and peace. This is also a reflection of the will of the United States." Speaking of this, the Secretary of State smiled and added: "This has not shaken our leadership in the world. Both of us should take a step back. The United States can compromise politically, but the other side must also compromise economically."

"The United States' unresolved in Southeast Asia will not be considered a shake of its status and 'retreat', but a bargaining chip for this 'deal'. This is our compromise." The Secretary of State said one by one: "And the other party's concessions should also make economic concessions, which is the step that the United States has taken. Coincidentally, the China-US Entrepreneurs Forum Summit held in Beijing this year is about to be approaching, and it gives a good conversation and wait for an opportunity. I think Mr. President, you should personally lead the American business elites to Beijing..."

"Since the other party has launched Lous as its spokesperson in Malaysia, why not follow them and launch our corporate spokesperson economically," the Secretary of State said in the end.

When the president heard this, his expression finally eased, he showed a smile for the first time, nodded slightly, and then looked at the red hotline...

As time goes by, just as countries around the world are silently waiting for the United States to play, a new roundtable of Sino-US entrepreneurs is approaching, and a news from the United States quickly attracted a lot of attention. The then president will lead 15 top American companies to visit China to participate in the forum summit.

Matrix Technology, Headquarters.

Ren Hong just received the news that Matrix Technology has become one of the 15 top domestic companies in the forum summit, but he is currently paying attention to the extremely hot news uploaded on the Internet.

Especially the domestic Internet is a sensation. The most fierce news in the domestic Internet technology circle is the rumors that companies such as k, Google, and Tube are about to return to Greater China.

This time, news about the return of companies such as K has been stronger than ever before, especially at the moment when the summit is approaching.

The communicator rang out immediately, and Ren Hong saw that it was Kang Tao's communication.

"Really? Well, I know..." Ren Hong ended the communication, looked at the news on the screen, and murmured: "The comfortable era of these domestic Internet companies working behind closed doors is probably gone forever. Without the government's umbrella, if you want to survive, you can only stand out from the cruel competition."

Ren Hong has already learned the general news from Kang Tao. If nothing unexpected happens, these American giants are finally going to enter this fantastic market as they wish. Ren Hong seems to think of Zuckerberg and Larry Page at this moment and will wake up laughing when he dreams, especially Zach. He has always been obsessed with the market in Greater China, and now he is finally about to enter a new chapter. This is a new success for Zach, who aims to connect all mankind, both in business and in personal ideals.

Ren Hong immediately contacted the person in charge of the dinosaur project: "Yonghua, how is the renovation of Diaomen Island going on?"

Yonghua's voice came from the other end of the communicator: "We have set out. According to the plan, the first batch of dinosaurs will officially enter Diaomen Island in 6 days."

Ren Hong smiled comfortably when he heard this: "Although the whale shark has caused a sensation in the world, the world headlines are all paying attention to the game of great powers. Ha, we haven't slaughtered the world headlines for a while, so let the dinosaurs take on this burden!"

At this moment, a large cruise ship with a capacity of more than 300,000 tons is sailing towards Diaomen Island. On the cruise ship, a large number of prehistoric species are carried by them. When it appears alive in the world, it will surely vibrate the entire world.
