Chapter 830: Reversed offense and defense pattern(2/2)
This is unacceptable to them.
However, it is also difficult for them to accept the choice to repeal regulations such as the Wolf Clause and the Competition Act, and also in the face of competitors.
In particular, taking the initiative to remove these regulations and abolishing these regulations under the opposition of opponents can be said to be two completely different concepts.
The former can be said to be for the sake of international win-win, or even shamelessly, it can be said to be handled to help China develop aerospace technology.
But in the latter case, once the result is announced, it will be a huge blow to the United States' international reputation and even the people's confidence in the country.
Of course, for NASA, it is a good thing.
Only in this way can they legitimately ask Congress for more funds.
.....
At the head of the table, Mr. T, the elderly general manager, sat in his seat, looking at the report document in his hand with a headache, listening to the quarrel in the conference room, and said with a heavy head:
"The key now is that the problem has arisen, let's talk about the solution."
As soon as he finished speaking, the conference room suddenly became quiet.
To be honest, at this point, they don't seem to have much choice anymore.
Either choose to abandon the "Wolf Clause" and "Competition Act" and join the lunar biosphere project, or choose to withdraw directly and forcefully.
But no matter which option, it is difficult for them to choose.
There was silence for a moment in the conference room, and a trace of disappointment flashed in President T's eyes. Normally, he spent countless funds supporting these people. However, at the critical moment, he couldn't even come up with a single suggestion.
At this moment, a member of the staff team said, "Maybe I have a way to try."
"What can I do?" Mr. T, the general manager, looked over with joy.
The staff member thought for a while and said cautiously: "In the field of aerospace, the first thing we must admit is that, at least at today's meeting, we must admit that China is already ahead of us."
Looking at the looks cast by others, the member quickly added: "Of course, that's not what I want to say."
"But there is no denying that the country has developed too fast in recent years."
"Whether it is in the economy, technology, or aerospace field, it is far beyond our imagination and even the imagination of the whole world."
"This is something that not only we will be afraid of, but our allies will also be afraid of. Whether it is the European Union, Southeast Asia, or Tsarist Russia, it is certain that everyone will be afraid of their rise."
"Perhaps we can contact our allies and put pressure on multiple parties to gain opportunities for us."
"In order to balance the entire international situation and balance the right to speak, even Tsarist Russia, which is temporarily on the same front as them, is believed to be more inclined to support our demands."
"After all, once we don't have to withstand the pressure from the front, I'm afraid they won't end well."
"And even if there is no result, at least we can delay this period of time and let domestic public opinion calm down first."
Uniting the European Union, Tsarist Russia, Southeast Asia and other countries involved in the lunar biosphere project, as well as major countries in the world, to jointly exert pressure on the red country and force the opponent to make concessions is the best way he can think of.
But this is also the most helpless way.
In the past, it was always the United States that exerted pressure on other countries and forced them to make concessions.
But now, the form is changing too fast.
The offense and defense changed, and their defense actually withstood the pressure from China.
A few years ago, they would have never imagined this.

PS: It’s the beginning of the month. I’m asking you guys to get the guaranteed moon face. I’ll update it tomorrow.
Another: I would like to explain the problem of duplicate chapters yesterday. To put it simply, 829 was locked up. I tried to change it and then re-issued 830, but the reviewer released it again to 829 in the evening.
This resulted in duplication.
Sorry, I feel sorry for everyone.
Chapter completed!
