United States.
White House.
After receiving Wald's call, O'Hero held a staff meeting.
First, he talked about the matter and how the crown prince of New Han wanted to further deepen the relationship between the two countries.
Then he asked questions.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, what do you think about New Han's purchase of F35 fighter jets?"
"Also, the situation between New Han and Java and the Philippines is getting more tense. Should we support New Han?"
O'Hero raised two questions.
"From the current situation, I think it is necessary to support New Han."
The speaker was then US Secretary of State Sinari.
"The reasons are as follows."
"Xinhan is now an important energy country. Its domestic oil and natural gas reserves are already ranked 9th in the world. Supporting Xinhan will help maintain the petrodollar."
"If we do not support Xinhan at this time, the young and energetic crown prince of Xinhan will feel resentful. This will be very disadvantageous for us, and it will not be conducive to the strategic blockade of Longguo."
"Secondly, Java is an ambitious country that has always wanted to become the boss in Southeast Asia and establish the Greater Java. Such a wolfish and ambitious country must be sanctioned.
Xinhan is the best chess piece. It has a strong economy, a small population, and a small land area. It is destined not to become a great power."
"Moreover, Java has been pretending to obey us and being distant in recent years, and has a close relationship with the Russian bear. Therefore, from a geopolitical perspective, we all need to support Xinhan."

"Finally, if we don't support Shinhan, then given the gap in national and military power between Shinhan and Java, Shinhan will undoubtedly lose. Once Java annexes Shinhan and possesses a large amount of oil and gas resources, it will undermine our island chain plan."
"I agree with Ms. Sinari's point of view and support Shinhan."
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta spoke; "The reason is that Ms. Sinari has already said that a strong Java is not in the interests of our United States."
"Based on this point, we must support Shinhan."
"In addition, regarding whether to export F35 stealth fighters to Shinhan, my suggestion is to observe and not rush to sell. You can consider exporting F16 fighters or F15 to help Shinhan build up its air force."
"It's okay to export, but the premise is that Shinhan must pay enough benefits."
The other staff members also agreed with Leon Panetta's statement.
After all, the F35 is one of the most advanced stealth fighters in the United States.
Except for several important partners in NATO, the only countries that export it are Japan and South Korea. Even Lion City and Osman Husky are not exported.
Oheizi nodded slightly, and everyone thought the same as him.
A strong Java is not in the interests of the United States.
It will also seriously affect the layout of the United States in Southeast Asia.
More importantly, Java has always been with them. If the United StatesJi Ruoli, on the contrary, is very close to its mortal enemy, the Russian Bear, buying all kinds of military weapons from the Russian Bear and importing natural gas and oil.
And the population of Xinhan is too small, and the area is only hundreds of thousands of square kilometers.
The potential is not as good as South Korea, which they support.
At least South Korea has a population of more than 50 million.
So the danger that Xinhan can cause to the United States is very low.
In addition, the future king of Xinhan has shown goodwill to the United States many times, and this time he agreed to cooperate in the development of new oil and gas fields.
Although the asking price is exaggerated, looking through the essence of the matter, Xinhan is very willing to deepen its relationship with the United States.
Having made up his mind, Oheizi decided: "Since everyone agrees, let's do our best to win over the support of New Han."
Turning his eyes to Secretary of State Shinari, he said seriously: "Ms. Shinari, I need you to go to Southeast Asia and try to mediate the tense relationship between New Han, Java and the Philippines."
Shinari nodded.
New Han.
Upon learning that the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Longguo was visiting, Xiao Yunhai personally received him in the palace.
The two sides exchanged some pleasantries (cfdd), and then the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Longguo stated his intention and expressed his concern about the escalation of the situation, hoping that the two countries could turn hostility into friendship and not escalate the situation.
In response, Xiao Yunhai said that all of this was caused by Java and the Philippines.
New Han did not want to provoke a conflict, but if they wanted to impose a war on them, New Han would not be afraid.
Xiao Yunhai also said that if Longguo wanted to mediate the dispute, it should go to dissuade Java and the Philippines. In response, Longguo's foreign minister said that he would go. At the same time, in view of the current tense situation facing Xinhan, the more than 2 billion US dollars of weapons and equipment orders previously placed by Xinhan will be delivered in advance.
Xiao Yunhai expressed his gratitude for this.
At the same time, he expressed that the two countries should develop a high-level cooperative relationship.
Although it was not stated explicitly, at this critical moment of tension, Longguo chose to deliver weapons and equipment in advance, which has already shown its attitude.
That is to stand on the side of Xinhan.
First, the two countries have a common ancestry.
Second, the relationship between the two countries has made great progress in recent years, and Xinhan is now Longguo's largest arms sales country.
Third, Xinhan is a country rich in oil and natural gas resources. Winning over Xinhan will help reduce Longguo's energy constraints.
And you can buy high-quality energy from Xinhan at a good price.
No need to worry about being stuck in the Strait of Malacca.
So from all angles, there is no reason for Longguo not to support Xinhan.
Before leaving, Longguo's foreign affairs minister even proposed that if necessary, Longguo would conduct military exercises with Xinhan's navy during this period.
The purpose is definitely to deter Java.
The meaning is to tell Java not to act rashly.
Xiao Yunhai politely declined, saying that he did not want the situation to escalate, and that he would definitely find Longguo when necessary.
If Longguo held an exercise to support, how could Java act rashly?Reckless action?
Isn't he doing this just to force Java to take action?
If Java doesn't take action, it means there is no protagonist to play the play. Without the protagonist, how can the play be played?
After a pleasant conversation, Xiao Yunhai sent the other party away.
In the next few days, the parties moved around.
Some mediated, some instigated.
Some even provided weapons support.
In short, a dispute over the interests of various countries was staged.
July 22.
Shinali visited Han.
Accompanying her were ExxonMobil and Chevron, two American oil giants.
At 10 o'clock in the morning of the same day.
Xiao Yunhai accompanied his father to welcome Shinali and his party at the palace gate.
After shaking hands and exchanging a few pleasantries, the party entered the reception room in the palace.
We chatted for a while.
Then, Shinari reiterated that the United States will unwaveringly support Shinhan.
When necessary, it will provide military support to Shinhan.
Hearing this, Xiao Yunhai took the opportunity to propose the purchase of F35 stealth fighters. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
It's not that he likes F35 so much.
The current version of F35 stealth fighter can only carry 4 AIM-120 medium-range air-to-air missiles.
The other side doesn't have stealth fighters.
Of course, it's better to have one than not. The radar and stealth of F35 stealth fighter can provide great help in air combat.
Even if there are no F35 fighters, the dozens of fighters currently in service in Shinhan are enough to deal with the Java Air Force.
I just want to test the current attitude of the United States towards Shinhan.
In this way, we can know that if the new Han defeated Java on Kalimantan Island in the future and took over Java, it would seek support and recognition from the United States.
As long as the United States recognizes it.
The European guys, Australia, Zealand, and even Japan and South Korea will also recognize it one after another.
With so many countries recognizing it, it is equivalent to actual occupation.
Hearing Xiao Yunhai's proposal to buy F35 fighters, Shinari said: "Mr. Crown Prince, I understand your eagerness to buy F35, but this stealth fighter is too advanced. I am afraid that your pilots will not be able to form combat effectiveness in a short time.
Our country believes that the F16 fighter is more suitable for your country's needs.
After all, your country has purchased F16 fighters before, and has mastered the habits of this fighter. After purchasing it, it can form combat effectiveness faster."
Xiao Yunhai smiled slightly, and he had a rough guess in his mind.
"You are right, but our country has put into service the self-developed single-seat "White Crane" fighter this year. Although its performance is not as good as your country's F16, it is barely enough."
"If possible, I hope to buy your country's F15 fighter."
If you can't buy F35, buy F15.
Used to enhance the strategic deterrence capability against Jakarta.
After all, the range is long enough.
Hearing that Xiao Yunhai wanted to buy F15, Shinari smiled and said, "I personally agree with this, but it still needs the consent of Mr. President and Congress."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I believe that with the friendly relationship between our two countries, your president and Congress will agree to our purchase request."
Hearing this, Shinari smiled and nodded.
In her opinion, F15 fighters are decades old, and they are not stealth fighters, so it's okay to sell them to Shinhan.
Besides, even Lion City is sold.
Selling to Shinhan is no problem.
After a few exchanges of moves, Shinari then led the topic to the issue of cooperative exploitation of oil and natural gas.
Chevron and ExxonMobil hope to lower the price.
US$100 billion is not a small number.
And they think Xiao Yunhai's asking price is too high.
Investing $100 billion, it would take more than a decade just to earn back the principal. []
Offered to acquire 20% of the oil field shares at a price of $50 billion.
Xiao Yunhai rejected it without hesitation.
Stick to the bottom line of $100 billion.
"You two, it seems like a lot now, but oil and natural gas resources are non-renewable resources. They will not be available again after a short period of time. I firmly believe that the price of oil and natural gas will rise in the future."
"So your net profit seems to be only 3-4 times the return, but in fact, in 10 or 20 years, the price of oil and gas resources will definitely not be this high, and the rate of return will definitely be 5-6 times as much."
"Invest 100 billion US dollars, and make a net profit of 500 billion US dollars in a dozen or two years. Where can I find such a good business?"
"If you have such a good business, you can bring us Xinhan, and I will be happy to invest."
Xiao Yunhai's words directly blocked the people from ExxonMobil and Chevron, leaving them speechless.
I also believe that this wealthy crown prince is really willing to invest hundreds of billions of dollars.
After all, his assets are as high as trillions of dollars.
100 billion US dollars is really not much for him.
No bargain.
Finally, the two companies agreed to Xiao Yunhai's offer.
Established a joint venture with New Han Royal Oil Company for $1,000 to develop the oil and gas fields in Yashan Province.
(Ps: Please order it yourself, please order it!).
