Chapter 448 Kennedy goes out
Well, Eisenhower just wanted to show off Yang Feng and see the subsequent reaction of this bastard to judge his real goal. If he hurried to negotiate terms with him at this time, he would undoubtedly let him go.
Immediately afterwards, the US military responded to the Yi-style missile on St. Martin.
First, the latest f1o5b sound fighter bomber was sent to Puerto Rico. The coffin aircraft was still full of dazzling halos at this time. Except for the Flying Leopard, whose combat radius was not as good as that of the Ming army, the others were no less than the latter. Even because it was more suitable for high flight, it passed the Flying Leopard at the fastest, and was almost approaching Mach 2. Especially the motivation with a maximum thrust of more than ten tons, it made public opinion exclaim that the United States has finally reached the peak of motivation technology.
In addition, Redstone surface-to-ground missiles were deployed there.
Of course, it’s not a nuclear warhead, but there’s a little bit of a big deal that doesn’t have to use a nuclear warhead if you really want to hit the ground.
And not only Puerto Rico, but also F1O5 will be provided to kangaroos, and also deployed to Annan on a large scale. The US government even threatened that it is not ruled out that nuclear missiles will be deployed to Annan or Luzon's bases in the future, such as Thor or Jupiter with a longer range.
However, Eisenhower's series of actions did not bring any reaction from Yang Feng, but scared the American people and European allies.
Especially the American domestic media have been desperately hyping up the danger of nuclear war that is close to each other these days, and it is not the Soviet Union, who has been a good friend of the United States for ten years. He has provided classic cartoons with the American children, brought Audrey Hepburn to the American young men, and sent American girls all over the world, from toenail polish to dyes and cosmetics. Dear poets and writers, it is said that they have also created many popular songs, and even Lord Yuan, who was regarded as the dream target by countless American girls.
Damn, what's this?
After all, isn’t it because you have to go to Southeast Asia to surround others? The people are not all fools. Over the years, the Eisenhower government’s Asian strategy has been targeted almost all against the Ming Dynasty. In view of the construction of a military base in Annan, it can be explained by resisting Xinhua, on Palawan Island, in General Santos City, and in Darwin Harbor. Is this also aimed at Xinhua?
Just look at the map and you will know that a series of bases just surrounded the Ming Dynasty. You all put your guns under your nose, so of course they won't be happy.
Eisenhower and the Republican Party, which were already pitifully low, suffered a severe blow this time. Polls showed that even 20% were gone. Several Democratic lawmakers publicly criticized Eisenhower's approach to intensifying tensions, believing that at this time it was not to mobilize more fighter jets and deploy missiles to Puerto Rico and Annan to stimulate Yang Feng, but to sit down and talk with him calmly. After all, the two sides have had a deep friendship for more than ten years, and it was only in recent years that they began to gradually move towards opposition.
The most important leader here is the Democratic senator, the popular idol John Kennedy who is very likely to participate in the next presidential election.
Similarly, almost all leaders of Western and Nordic countries, including Britain, France, Germany, and almost all Western and Nordic countries, called on both sides to sit down and negotiate to resolve the issue. As for the Soviet Union and its younger brothers, they all shut up this time, and hid aside and watched the fun with gloating.
But in private, the Soviets began to mobilize troops to Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, Central Asia and other places. It is obvious that if a nuclear war really broke out between the United States and the Ming Dynasty, then the Tuzi would not mind taking advantage of the situation. Not to mention that they would kill the native chicken first and take Afghanistan into their pockets, and then use a nuclear bomb to bomb Pakistan. The Soviet Union would suddenly sweep across the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
However, even in this case, Eisenhower still remained unmoved. He had to wait for Yang Feng to come to the door, rather than beg him by himself. The Ming Dynasty never admitted to deploying a nuclear bomb in Saint Martin, which made him affirm his guess. Yang Feng was deliberately trying to blackmail something like this. The United States took the initiative to come to the door and hit the trick. On the contrary, it continued to stalemate and deliberately created tension. Maybe it would scare Yang Feng and force him to come to the door, so the initiative would be transferred to the United States. Even if he wanted to give him some benefits, it would not be too much.
However, he can wait, but the Congress cannot wait. At this pace, the Republican Party will definitely be abolished in the next election. Since this is the case, the Democratic Party will naturally beat the dog and take this opportunity to shape the golden body for Kennedy. Driven by the Democratic Party and some other senators controlled by European countries, the US Congress bypassed Eisenhower and organized a separate visiting delegation. Under Lao Ai's helpless eyes, he boarded an Airbus plane and flew directly across the Pacific Ocean to respond to the sky.
"John, first I must declare that I did not deploy nuclear missiles in St. Martin, and similar news on newspapers and TV stations are irresponsible rumors."
In the Yuan Mansion room, Yang Feng said with a wine glass.
Kennedy nodded with a smile.
He understood that if Yang Feng did not admit that he had deployed nuclear missiles, then there would be no need to be forced by the United States to withdraw the nuclear missiles. As long as he was satisfied with the reply, this guy could quietly pull those things up at any time.
"Second, I need to make a final break with you about some of the things that have happened over the years.
I did lose the Annan issue at the beginning. I am willing to accept the loss. It’s yours. I won’t fight anymore. Of course, you are not allowed to expand to other places. Otherwise, I will definitely fight back. Even if we both sides expose this matter, everything on the Indochina Peninsula will remain in the status quo, and no one can go further.
I won't care about Luzon because it is your territory, and I will never be interested in my friends' territory. You are willing to build military bases on Palawan Island and General Santos City.
Australia is based on our ability. I will not stop you from supporting Kangaroos, but you cannot stop me from beating them. The rest depends on the result. If the Kangaroos defeat me, I will certainly be willing to accept the loss. You will build the military base there any way you want. Even if you turn Australia into the 52nd state, you will be willing to accept the loss. But if I win, you will also be willing to accept the loss and stop causing trouble for me on this issue.
But there is one thing: you cannot deploy nuclear missiles in any of these places. In exchange, I will not deploy nuclear missiles in Saint Martin. As for you to deploy bombers and fighter bombers with a combat radius of more than 1,000 kilometers in these places, I will not stop this, but in exchange, I must also deploy bombers in Saint Martin, and you will not stop it either."
Yang Feng said.
Kennedy understood that the reason why Yang Feng suddenly deployed nuclear missiles to Saint Martin was to force the United States to acquiesce him to deploy Yinglong bombers there. After all, he and Saint Martin are far away. Even if the Yinglong bomber can refuel over Africa and then fly directly to Saint Martin, there is no possibility of a fighter escorting it. If the United States really wants to shoot it, it can take off hundreds of fighters from Puerto Rico.
Similarly, if transported by ship, the United States can also intercept it in the middle.
And this method is enough. If the US government wants him to withdraw his nuclear missiles, it must allow his bombers to fly there. If he does not want him to deploy bombers in Saint Martin, it must withdraw the bombers stationed in Annan and Luzon, in short, in exchange.
But bombers are no big deal. After all, this thing is not a nuclear missile. Even if Yinglong bombers can penetrate twice the sound, it is useless. You can easily shoot down a Niki missile. To put it bluntly, Yang Feng is just for the sake of face. After all, the United States will definitely not be able to withdraw all the bombers deployed in Annan and other places. In this way, the United States deploys bombers next to him, but he cannot deploy bombers next to the United States, which will undoubtedly make Lord Yuan feel embarrassed.
"Old Master Yuan, I think we can all understand each other on these issues, after all, we are all friends."
Kennedy said with a smile.
Yang Feng nodded with satisfaction and continued, "There is another problem you need to solve for me."
"Speaking."
Kennedy said hurriedly.
"It's very simple. The US dollar reserves in the Ming Empire have exceeded 10 billion. These dollars are equal to 8,000 tons of gold. Although it is impossible to exchange them all for you, at least the Federal Reserve has to exchange part of them for me, right? This is the dollar at the gold standard!"
Yang Feng said.
Well, this is actually the real purpose of his prank. He has too many US dollars reserves. He took over a bunch of small pieces of paper printed by the Americans. This made him very upset. He just wanted to force the Americans to exchange it for him into gold. It would definitely be impossible to exchange it all for the United States. After all, they only have more than 10,000 tons. It would be too exaggerated to take out half of the gold reserves for him at once.
"I don't want you to exchange me for more than three billion dollars."
Yang Feng said with three fingers stretched out.
Kennedy frowned.
In recent years, the Federal Reserve has actually opened up selling gold to foreign central banks. After all, those countries are not fools. Our recognition of the status of the US dollar does not mean that we can let it be bullied. If the United States wants its allies to be obedient, it cannot just fool people with waste paper. Of course, this does not mean that anyone can exchange gold from the Federal Reserve. At least the Bank of the Ming Empire has not purchased a ton of gold until now.
As for other countries, 66 has also exchanged some. At present, the US gold reserves have dropped from the peak of 19,900 tons after the war to less than 16,000 tons. Yang Feng wants to exchange 3 billion US dollars, that is 2,400 tons of gold!
But this matter cannot be said to be what Yang Feng wants, it can only be said that the United States owes him. As the world's largest dollar reserve country, the United States should have exchanged a batch for him appropriately. However, because he always insists on free exchange of gold, does not join the Bretton Woods system, and continues to exchange dragon-yuan gold coins to central banks of European countries in private, the Federal Reserve has always disagreed to exchange gold for him.
Obviously this is why Yang Feng is most unhappy with the United States. (To be continued.)
