America’s Big Hero

Chapter 492 My Naval Base

According to the news Xiao En received, the Subic military base is in chaos now, and the foot-holding building held a meeting overnight, and the Pacific Command has urgently sent people to Manila.

Even the umbrella side received an order from the Wujiao Building, requesting to prepare to help the people evacuated from the Subic military base.

The exact amount is undecided, and it all depends on how much help is needed in the future.

Therefore, Sean was not in a hurry to go to the Wujiao Building to lobby, and he waited for them to get through this difficulty anyway.

He has been paying attention to the follow-up of the volcanic eruption. After all, he...is the world's first active volcano detonation case made by Neil.

Neil is so fucking bad!

Insane!

tsk tsk...

...

As time fermented, various news continued to arrive.

As of 2 days later, the volcanic ash from the eruption of Mount Pinatubo had risen to an altitude of 40,000 meters.

Within the surrounding 4,000 square kilometers, the average falling volcanic ash is as high as 50mm, and the thickness of volcanic ash in some areas is as high as 200mm. Buildings, vehicles, and trees are covered, like the northern hemisphere after a blizzard.

The difference is that volcanic ash is much heavier than snow.

At present, the volcanic ash has spread to a radius of 280 kilometers, and there is a tendency to continue to spread.

According to the judgment of climate experts, due to the air flow, the huge amount of volcanic ash erupted by Mount Pinatubo will mainly move to the west and spread to the entire southern sea area including surrounding areas.

These days, TV is full of news about Mount Pinatubo. Originally, a volcanic eruption thousands of miles away should not cause such a big shock in the United States.

However, there is a Subic military base next to it. There are more than 30,000 Americans living there, and there are two major military bases.

Experts from all walks of life jumped out to comment on the follow-up events that will be triggered by this incident. Among them, New Century Media invited Boeing and Grumman fighter experts to come out to make a show, explaining that after being covered by volcanic ash, damage to the aircraft.

According to experts, volcanic ash contains a large amount of alkali metal oxides and sulfur dioxide and other sulfides, which will inevitably penetrate into the interior of the aircraft and cause serious damage to the engine and air intake system.

It is almost certain that the aircraft would have been essentially useless if it had been fully exposed to volcanic ash.

The specific loss of the military cannot be calculated, but it is very heavy anyway.

Sean cooperated with Grumman and had a private chat.

"I'm really sad. The military must have suffered heavy losses this time. I don't know how many casualties there will be. I, I, heh, ha, cough cough..." President Grumman tried to hold back, wishing to appear sad .

"Quickly wipe it off, there are already sad tears at the corner of your mouth!" Sean teased.

The military suffered heavy losses, and repurchases and repairs will inevitably be carried out in the future. All major arms companies are happy to see such unexpected orders.

Sean was also very happy.

A week later, the first wave of disasters caused by the eruption of Mount Pinatubo was almost settled. The volcano erupted a total of 20 million tons of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere, and the sulfur dioxide entering the stratosphere was reduced by 10%. Sunlight will cause the earth to enter a volcanic winter.

The military has sent a team of experts to inspect the military base to see the damage.

The result is not optimistic, the base is basically scrapped, and trying to restart it is no less than building another third of the base.

That's not the most important thing.

After the recovery of Mount Pinatubo this time, the military has to consider the risks posed by the volcano. Whether the volcano has entered an active period and whether it will erupt will also be taken into consideration.

Moreover, in case of a war, what should the enemy do if the enemy uses missiles to attack the volcano and actively cause an eruption?

These are all risks that have to be considered.

According to the news Sean got from the Wujiao Building, there is a high probability that the base will be abandoned.

At this point, Sean felt almost ready to act.

...

Sean didn't go directly to the foot-holding building. In comparison, the 14th commander of the Pacific Command, Huntington Hardesty, who had a stake in it, was the one who suffered the most.

From a military point of view, if the Subic military base is withdrawn, there will be a huge gap in the military forces deployed by the Pacific Command in the entire Pacific region.

There is a huge gap in the southern sea area.

From the perspective of rights, after the Pacific Command loses the Subic military base, it will suffer heavy losses in terms of personnel, funding, etc., and the industrial chain related to interests will suffer losses.

So, Sean flew straight to Hawaii for the holiday, all the women and kids with him.

After arriving in Hawaii, he booked a private vacation on the beach for two days, and then Sean picked up the phone and made a call, planning to hold a reception in Hawaii.

The rich man Sean is going to hold a reception, so naturally there will be no shortage of people to join him, from the United States, South America, and Asia, anyone who is invited will come.

Celebrities from all walks of life gathered in Hawaii, and people from the Pacific Command were naturally indispensable. After all, the umbrella and the military are cooperative units.

During the reception, Sean clinked glasses with Huntington Hardisty alone, and started a conversation, "How about the losses at the Subic Base?"

"Very high, there is a high probability that it will be revoked." Huntington Hardisty shook his head and sighed, "Who would have thought that a volcano would erupt suddenly, it was so sudden."

"Isn't it too hasty to revoke it? What about the Pacific Strategy?" Sean asked.

"No way, it is very difficult for Congress to approve funds to rebuild a military base. It will take a lot of money. According to rough statistics, the military lost more than 20 billion U.S. dollars this time. Just supplementing the various weapons and equipment lost has already aroused strong opposition from Congress. Objected, this supplementary fund may be allocated in installments of three to five years."

"In fact, Congress has been proposing to cut the military's budget for the past few years, and this time it just happened to catch up. After all, you know, the old man is dying, and the domestic economy has been sluggish these years, and Congress has no money." Huntington Hardisty is not optimistic about the current situation at all.

Xiao En was contemplative, touched his chin, and suddenly raised his head and said after a while, "How much does it cost to rebuild a military base of equal size?"

Huntington Hardisty let out a doubt in his nose, and looked at Sean in surprise. He couldn't believe that someone like Sean would ask these things indiscriminately.

"Why are you asking this? Why, are you going to build a military base for the military for free?" Huntington Hardesty laughed and joked, "Then I can thank Mr. Rich Man."

"It's not that I can't think about it. I'm an American. Of course I have to consider it from the interests of the United States, with great power comes great responsibility." Xiao En replied with a smile.

Huntington Hardisty looked at Sean in astonishment, and saw that the expression on Sean's face was half a smile, and he couldn't figure out his plan for a while, "You really mean that?"

"This is not a small amount of money. The construction standards of the military base far exceed ordinary buildings. Subic Bay also involves a huge military port, with a budget of more than 1 billion US dollars!"

"That's really a lot." Sean said with a serious face, "It's almost catching up with my income for half a year."

Huntington Hardisty: "…"

Someone here is pretending to be aggressive, the scene is almost out of control!

Huntington Hardisty's eyeballs almost popped out, damn it, how angry!

I really want to kill him!

Can you do whatever you want with money!

"Then you should also pay the annual base rent!" Huntington Hardisty said angrily.

"Is the rent high?" Sean asked.

"Subic Bay, the annual rent is 900 million US dollars. Of course, it is at most half a year's income, but it lasts a little longer."

"Well, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. It seems that I need to help solve the annual rent problem of the base." Sean said solemnly.

"No..." Huntington Hardisty frowned, and his face became serious. If it was a joke, it's over now, but seeing Sean like this, it seems to be serious.

Sean nodded, "If the problem of renting the military base is resolved, can Congress be persuaded to re-establish a military base?"

"What are your plans?" Huntington Hardisty asked in a deep voice.

Sean didn't speak, and told Huntington to go to the private room to talk alone.

Pointing to the map that had been prepared long ago, Sean stared into Huntington's eyes and said, "Here, what do you think?"

"Then what?"

"I am ready to make Sarawak independent."

Huntington Hardisty slowly made a question mark.

What the hell does this have to do with a military base?

Ah, what does it matter!

"I think you forgot about Morocco." Sean reminded.

Huntington was only stunned for a second before he thought of what was going on.

Morocco suddenly launched a coup with the support of the umbrella. The younger brother of the old king overthrew the original crown prince and took the throne, and then leased 2 lands for free to the United States to build a military base.

Add a time limit to this free, that is one hundred years!

Of course, Morocco is not at a disadvantage. It is precisely because of the establishment of a military base by the United States that the new king of Morocco can be recognized by the international community immediately and the power transfer can be completed smoothly.

If it weren't for the actual military support of the United States, it is foreseeable that several European countries headed by France will definitely support the former crown prince to continue the struggle.

At best, there may be a long period of internal struggle, with international tensions.

The worst thing is to start a civil war directly, and Morocco will be smashed into a piece of mud.

Now, substituting the problem into Sarawak, it is the same situation, so this new country will definitely agree to lease a large area for free to the United States to build a military base.

Besides, the military bases of the US military do not exist in isolation, and can bring a lot of job opportunities and tax revenue.

The United States has money, the military has money, and the American soldiers have money!

So now there is only one question left, can it be done independently?

Sean talked about his lobbying.

The people of all nationalities are eagerly looking forward to whether they can be independent?

able!

My name is Uncle President Bush, can I be independent?

able!

Supported by the foot-covering building, can it be independent?

able!

People of all nationalities + Uncle Bush + foot-covering building, can they be independent smoothly!

able!

Huntington's answer was very straightforward. Combined with this year's international environment, Europe's focus is on the Soviet Union, and it has no energy to care about things tens of thousands of kilometers away.

And the king is British.

"The people of Sarawak's eager expectation and desire for a free world will be recognized by the US military. They have the right to breathe free air, and no one has the right to stop it!" Huntington said firmly.

"On behalf of the people of Sarawak, I would like to thank the US military for their support." Sean said solemnly.

More than 20 years later, after the Britons, the people of Sarawak were once again represented.

With free venues, +3, with the support of the president, +4, the rest of the military is not without any leverage.

Huntington changed his mind. It was time to go back and talk to the group of guys in the Wujiao Building about the Northern Threat.

Although it is now the honeymoon period of Sino-US relations, once the Soviet Union is over, the red flag will be planted on the land in the north.

The matter has come to an end here, and the matter promoted by the military is handed over to Huntington. Whether it is based on his personal interests or the overall strength of the military, he will not watch his own strength slip.

To put it bluntly, if one overseas military base is missing, how many positions are missing! !

There is one radish and one pit. Now that there are fewer pits, those radishes are more urgent than Sean.

After the discussion, the two returned to the banquet hall. No one knew that in a short time, the fate of Sarawak was decided.

...

Sean was not in a hurry to inform the people of Sarawak of the good news, and took his family to continue vacationing in Hawaii, waiting for news from Huntington.

Huntington has already flown back to Washington to communicate with the senior management of the foot-covering building.

This vacation also reminded Sean of buying a private island again, at least it was convenient for vacation.

Mainly because there is not much money, and a private island is also a good investment.

It happened that his women were all there, so Sean took a map and called all the women to discuss where to buy islands on a whim.

But soon, he regretted the decision.

"I think the Caribbean is better. It's the closest to the United States, with pleasant scenery and convenient vacations." Diane Lane pointed to the map and said.

"Oh, are you on vacation with a group of drug criminals? Of course, there may be anti-government armed forces." Sophie Marceau mocked unceremoniously: "Is there any better holiday destination than the beautiful Aegean Sea? There are The most beautiful legend in the world."

"What's in the Caribbean?"

"Oh yes, there are pirates!"

Diane Lane raised her brows suddenly, and smiled softly, "Our little girl only has romantic legends in her mind, it's better to say that you are naive or not, Aegean Sea, hehe, occasionally open your eyes to see the international situation , Civil strife may break out in the powder kegs of the Balkans at any time, so it is not the business of drug criminals."

"I don't think any drug criminals or anti-government armed forces dare to approach Sean's island unless they are as naive as you!"

As soon as the two started to stir up, other women immediately joined in. The American faction faced the European faction.

At this time, the Asian faction stood up without any surprise.

Nicole Kidman walked to the middle and said loudly: "Stop arguing, stop arguing, you can't die like this, you should take a middle place and go to Southeast Asia to buy an island. The country of a thousand islands has beautiful scenery and good security. "

"Heh, go and wait to see the volcano erupt!"

At this moment, Xiao En is completely stupid. The problem of the harem has always troubled the rich and powerful.

Originally, I thought that as long as I made it clear in advance that I would not marry them, there would be no such big conflict, but now it seems that I am obviously thinking too much.

Twenty or so women were divided into three groups. Sean's head was about to explode, and he shouted, "Okay, okay, stop arguing!"

In front of outsiders, if Sean got angry, the audience would be silent, but in front of this group of women...

More than 20 women swarmed up and surrounded Sean, holding hands, holding arms, hugging thighs, grabbing backs, chattering,

"Honey, look at them, they scolded me."

"Honey, judge me, why is her chest so small..."

"Baby, she said I'm flirty, are you flirtatious, are you flirtatious or not..."

Sean's scalp felt numb in an instant, and he grabbed the waistband of his trousers, "Hey, hey, if you have something to say, don't take off my pants!!"

There are too many women, who can stand the squeeze of these goblins, especially when I have made it clear to these women early on that when the fight is for the next generation, Sean's face is pale and he is sweating profusely.

"Don't make a noise, don't make a noise, buy, buy, buy, buy an island for each place, okay, okay, I still have... woo woo, let go... I..."

"don't want……!!"

...

...

The next day, at noon, Sean was lying on the bed with a dazed face and sunken eye sockets. Who the hell planned this one hundred thousand Rockefeller plan!

Sin!

...

(ps: The Age of the Magic Flute, awesome!)
