Chapter 791 - 445: The Sliding Kneeling of Various Countries
Beautiful Country, Black Palace!
Judith hurriedly walked into the President's office.
Upon entering the room, President Jesmin was already waiting there, and Minister of Navy Federico Guvas was also present, talking with Jesmin.
"Your Excellency, this is the intelligence gathered by our CIA regarding the Cruiser arsenal ships."
Judith looked serious as he handed over a piece of intelligence.
Jesmin glanced through it; the intelligence contained only a few details, all speculative, without actual data support.
"Why is it so little?"
Jesmin rubbed his temples, the outcome of the Mengjia Bay naval battle, and the emergence of the Devourer Cruiser arsenal ship had given him a headache, becoming his main focus lately.
"The Jieke Group's intelligence work is very tight, and it's difficult for our CIA to infiltrate the high levels. In addition, many important engineering factories of the Jieke Group are underground, making it impossible for satellites to check the construction status of this Devourer Cruiser arsenal ship."
Judith shook his head helplessly; nowadays, it's hard for most countries globally to keep their shipbuilding away from satellite surveillance.
But Jieke Group constructs ships underground, and combined with the submarinelike diving capabilities of the Cruiser arsenal ships, CIA couldn't gather any intelligence on them until the Mengjia Bay naval battle exposed them, revealing that Jieke Group was hiding such a formidable weapon.
"What does your Navy have to say?"
Jesmin turned his gaze towards the Minister of Navy Federico.
"President, our Navy believes that such Cruiser arsenal ships are excessively powerful; one arsenal ship has over 500 types of missiles, and the Jieke Group has six Cruiser arsenal ships, meaning they possess over 3000 missiles. Such saturation bombing is very dangerous even for our carrier battle groups if encountered.
To deal with this Cruiser arsenal ship, a dual carrier battle group isn't sufficient; we need more carrier battle groups. The best way to tackle such a Cruiser arsenal ship is to discover them first and then use our carrier aircraft with a longer combat radius to sink them beforehand. Carrier battle groups mustn't get within the combat radius of the Cruiser arsenal ships unless necessary.
Once we increase the number of our aircraft, we can break through their Cruiser arsenal ship's air defense firepower. But currently, the challenge is how to find them; their submerged stealth capabilities are indeed frustrating."
Federico explained, presenting the views of his Navy side.
"Don't send the dual carrier battle group to the Mengjia Bay now; we cannot take risks before clarity."
Jesmin nodded; aircraft carriers are heavy national weapons for their Beautiful Country. If they rashly entered Mengjia Bay and clashed with the Jieke Group, resulting in an aircraft carrier being damaged or even sunk, it would undoubtedly cause an uproar domestically. Therefore, after the outcome of the Mengjia Bay naval battle was revealed, he immediately ordered their dual carrier battle group to turn back.
"Alright, and Mr. President, I have a request. Let those military-industrial giants research the Cruiser arsenal ships. This new type of naval vessel in this Navy transformation—we also need it. Once developed, our Navy will procure and equip them, and each carrier battle group in the future will have two such Cruiser arsenal ships as sword-bearers. Our carrier battle group's combat power will certainly become much stronger."
Federico made a request, joining the race to develop such new warships.
The Jieke Group's Cruiser arsenal ships demonstrated such brilliance that any capable naval country worldwide hopes to equip such powerful warships.
"Can it be developed?"
Jesmin recalled the past messes created by military-industrial giants researching Mecha. Now, their Beautiful Country's so-called Mecha are still like fools staying in laboratories, unknown when they can be used in actual combat.
Now he has every reason to doubt whether following the trend to research Cruiser arsenal ships is another scam to deceive research funds.
"Whether or not it can be developed is another matter. At least the Jieke Group has shown us through example that this development direction for warships is correct."
Federico shrugged; he didn't promise because he felt the situation was precarious—a cruiser of over 40,000 tons, which has to dive, provide air defense, and carry a large number of missiles—this represents numerous technical challenges that require national effort to tackle, making it exceptionally difficult to resolve.
"I will draft a proposal later."
Jesmin knew clearly in his heart that he was pushed into position by the Democratic Party, which also represents the interests of many military-industrial complexes. At this time, he has to give the military-industrial complex some benefits to appease them.
As for whether they can develop Cruiser arsenal ships, Jesmin doesn't hold much hope. Even if they are actually developed and equipped, it would be many years later, and he certainly wouldn't be in the presidential position by then, having nothing to do with him.
"India is now like ants on a hot pot; they have just sent us an invitation, planning to lease the Andaman Islands to us, allowing us to establish a military base."
Judith mentioned another matter: the Andaman Islands, which guard the entrance to the Kra Isthmus Canal. If the area can be occupied, it would unsettle the Jieke Group.
"They have a good plan: if we go to the Andaman Islands, we'll be dragged down with them."
Jesmin smirked; India's intentions were too obvious.
If this proposal came before the appearance of the Cruiser arsenal ships, they would have been more than willing to rush to the Andaman Islands to station troops.
