Chapter 404 The tiao play

If we continue to suppress oil prices, the Ming Dynasty is not the only one who makes the final profit. European countries also make profits. They need to lower oil prices just like the Ming Dynasty.

As for the United States, it is hard to say whether this is good or bad for them. The advantage is that low oil prices can revitalize manufacturing, but the disadvantages are also obvious, because the United States is still the world's largest oil producer, with a production of more than 300 million tons, accounting for half of the world's total output. If foreign oil fields controlled by American oil giants are added, the output will be close to more than 60% of the world's total, so low oil prices will damage these oil giants that occupy the core of the United States' wealth.

And in politics, it is undoubtedly the most unlucky thing in the United States.

The Soviet Union's joining the ranks of large-scale oil exports will make it easy for He Tuzi to obtain more foreign exchange, which can allow him to obtain more things he wants from the international market, such as machines, medicines, grain, and especially the latter. Although the Soviet Union was astonishingly large and had as much arable land, due to their tragic economic system, food was less and less enough. Russia was once an important exporter of grain, and Russia was even more a European granary. However, after the 1970s, the Soviet Union could only import grain from the United States and Canada in millions of tons per year.

This has to be said to be a sad story.

It can be said that the Soviet Union's domineering side leak in the 1970s was based on the Tyumen Oilfield. You should know that the oilfield consumed 400 million tons a year at its highest.

Since that's the case, let's give it to He Tuzi in advance.

Anyway, for the Ming Dynasty, this is too good to be better. Now the oil price has been smashed to 15 dollars by him. It is estimated that if the Soviet Union enters the market, one dollar per barrel will be very promising. Although this will have a little impact on his own income, he is also a world-class oil giant, but there is no need to mind this little thing. Anyway, he is not losing money. There is a lot of cost to crude oil mining. The average cost of Imperial Oil is only a little more than ten cents, and selling one dollar is also a huge profit.

The armistice negotiations between the Ming Empire and the Soviet Union were specially invited to attend. Although Yang Feng insisted that he would not join the United Nations until the issue of Ming and vassal states was resolved, he still showed full respect for this international organization. Including the subcontinental war and the Java War, the armistice negotiations also invited UN representatives to attend.

After frank and friendly negotiations, the two sides finally signed a truce agreement in November 54, halting the eight-year war. Although it was a truce rather than peace. At least the original mortal enemy, Ming and Su, began to turn war into pleasant silk.

The free world lamented that the Ming and Su ceased to fight, and they finally lost the most brave and good fighter.

European media even pointed the finger directly at the US government, accusing Eisenhower of his wrong foreign policy in Asia, which forced a free world into a fence-broken pillar, including in the United States. After all, the reason why Yang Feng got to this point was entirely due to the United States' involvement in Annan.

Of course they wouldn't see that the Americans were involved in Annan, and to a large extent they were forced by Yang Feng.

Many people, including in the United States, think so.

Of course, the people's views were useless. During this period, the United States' support for Annan continued. Not only did it provide a large amount of arms and funds for Wu Tingyan, their Cam Ranh Bay base also began to be built on a large scale. The slogan shouted by the US government was to turn Cam Ranh Bay into the next Okinawa, not only to build a large naval base that can accommodate aircraft carriers, but also to build an air base that can take off and land B52 strategic bombers, and to use the facilities left by the Gauls, the first batch of US troops quickly entered Cam Ranh Bay.

This includes the US Air Force.

Cam Ranh Bay.

"Will, I don't like this ghost place. The women here are not as gentle as Japanese women, as beautiful as Korean women, and they are not friendly at all. When I look at me, it seems that I can take out a gun at any time."

In the northern part of this famous bay, in the newly opened US Air Force Base radar station duty room, an officer was looking out the window and complaining boredly. It was obvious that he had just gotten up from the belly of a Japanese or Korean woman, and was not very adaptable to his new environment.

"Will, Will?"

His companion did not speak. The officer turned his head casually and saw his companion staring at the screen with a ghost expression.

"Damn it!"

The moment he turned his eyes to the screen, the officer subconsciously screamed, and then rushed to the air defense alarm, but just as the alarm sounded, a roar of the jet's low-altitude engine flew over his head, and suddenly a deafening sonic boom exploded, shaking the glass in the duty room shattered.

At this time, the base outside was already in chaos, and a large number of American soldiers were running around in horror. Several pilots on standby rushed towards their fighter planes, because at this time the airplane was less than a thousand meters above the airport, a twin-engine jet fighter they had never seen before was climbing at a high speed, with a single wing on both sides, and a single wing. The sweep angle was not very large. There were no missiles under the wings, nor were there any secondary fuel tanks, and a single vertical tail. There was a very eye-catching round golden badge on it.

"Damn Ming Army!"

In a building not far from the airport, the commander of the US military base stared at the plane in the sky with some hatred and scolded.

It is obvious that the aircraft used ultra-low altitude to avoid their radar monitoring and then launched a sudden attack. If it hung a few shu bombs, the base had been destroyed at this time. The Ming army was using this method to show off its abilities and warned the US military that even if they had a base here, it would be useless. As long as they wanted, they could come and destroy it at any time.

He guessed correctly that this plane was here to play them. This was a flying leopard that took off from Sihanoukville. It used its excellent ultra-low-altitude performance to fly ultra-low-altitude throughout the entire journey to avoid US radar monitoring. Then it suddenly appeared at Jinlan Airport to take photos and reconnaissance the airport.

As for the legality of doing this...

This was approved by His Majesty the King of Annan. The Ming Air Force can freely use any airspace of the Annan Kingdom, including of course, Cam Lan Bay. As for Wu Tingyan, he is a pseudo-government, and his opposition is nothing.

"The two squadrons' super swords and one squadron's b47 bomber has not been deployed. The number of anti-aircraft guns is not large, and the defense is lax and has not opened fire at me until now!"

On the flying leopard in the sky, Ming army pilot Chen Bin looked down and said, on the monitor in front of him, there were ground images of the entire Cam Ran Bay. Under one wing, the electronic reconnaissance pod kept receiving electromagnetic waves emitted by the US radar below to analyze its parameters, and at the same time recorded the data of US radio communications.

"The super sword is here!"

At this time, the pilot in the front seat suddenly shouted.

Four super swords that took off urgently were opening up the afterburner and rushed towards the flying leopard that humiliated their dignity at high speed.

This fighter is an upgraded version of the Saber. The overall layout is similar to that of the Saber. The engine has stronger thrust. At the same time, it uses a lot of titanium alloys to reduce weight, resulting in a cost of more than three times the Saber. The fastest speed can reach a speed of one or three times the speed of sound. Of course, this speed is only a high-altitude test speed and does not have practical value. In general, the performance is similar to the Ming army's two-seat chasing wind, but it does not have the latter's all-weather combat capability.

But this is the best fighter jet of the US military at present.

Unfortunately, it was still a slag in front of the Flying Leopard. Four super swords rushed towards the Flying Leopard at the fastest speed they could achieve. The latter just turned around and quickly flew far beyond the Super Saber under the power of two nine-ton thrust engines.

Although this type of aircraft is a low-speed fighter bomber in modern times, it is definitely high-speed in this era. In fact, the tiger sharks that have already been in service have not yet caught up with it in terms of speed. As a result, four super swords that are fiercely storming towards it. All the American pilots chased it farther and farther away. In the end, they could only watch it disappear from their sight in surprise.

Then the plane disappeared from the ground radar screen, and it was obvious that it had penetrated into the low-altitude mountainous area again.

"These bastards! Keep searching."

The base commander said with a gloomy face.

Five minutes later.

The air defense sirens at this base sounded again.

"Bastard, I'm going to kill them!"

The US commander who had just walked into the bathroom squatting down, rushed out and shouted at the sky while carrying his pants.

In the sky, a fighter plane that had just left him a deep memory swept across the airport.

Flying Leopard is back.

Chen Bin and his companions smiled happily in the sky. They had high-power airborne radars. They only needed to detect the flight of their super swords at low altitudes, and they could use the terrain to circle back. The range from Sihanoukville to this place was only 700 kilometers. For the flying leopard, whose combat radius was more than 1,000 kilometers, there was enough time to play with the Americans here.

This flying leopard flew to Cam Ran Bay for the second time, and then, just like the first time, under the angry eyes of the Americans and the Super Saber helplessly, took photos and flew away, and disappeared on the screen of the US radar with the help of ultra-low altitude performance.

Ten minutes later, the two bastards flew to Cam Ranh Bay for the third time.

The US military below is too lazy to take off and drive away. Anyway, the speed cannot be caught up, so it will be useless to play. Moreover, the above orders are strictly prohibited from firing, and it is useless to catch up. Since this is the case, it is better to just split your legs. Anyway, it is just a harmless little game.

However, they did not know that such games would become the norm in the future. The boring Ming army pilots regarded Annan airspace as their territory. They would fly over to show their existence as long as they were willing. It was not until the Vietnam War entered a stage of large-scale combat, and as the relations between the Ming and the United States gradually eased, this situation began to decrease.
