Chapter 242 Wrong Analysis, Correct Strategy

When China was full of joy, on the other side, in the strategic analysis office, everyone's faces were not pretty.

Sitting in the middle is the current owner of this office, Johnson. His fingers unconsciously tapped on the table, his eyes were fixed on the promotional video playing on the screen. After a long time, he waved his hand and said to the analyst :
"Okay, turn it off, I already know the situation. I just want to ask now, do we have any information on the performance parameters of their latest aircraft?"

After hesitating for a moment, the analyst replied:

"Except for Tu-160 and H-6K, there are none. The opponent's speed is too fast, we are completely unprepared, and the entire intelligence system is invalid."

"On the other hand, our recent attention is on the battery project, and we have not paid enough attention to the Nantianmen project."

"Before we considered that the Nantianmen project would bring them a series of derivative results, but we did not expect these results to come so soon."

After listening to the analyst's words, Johnson nodded silently.

He really has no way to blame the analyst, because the current situation happened, in fact, he, the master of the strategic analysis office, is not without responsibility.

Insufficient foresight, insufficient overall control ability, and insufficient clue analysis ability.
He could almost think of his superior's evaluation of him, but she actually didn't agree with these possible evaluations.

It's not just his own problem, or even the problem of the professionals in this office. The really important problem is that the speed of the other party is too fast.

In just one year, three technological achievements with unparalleled strategic significance have been produced successively, from lithography machines, to aviation development, to batteries that may have epoch-making significance, each of which is overwhelming.

Now, the influence of lithography machines is gradually expanding. After the birth of Hangfa, it has also had a huge impact on the aviation and military fields, and the other party did not even look back, but directly rushed to the newer battery field.

Such efficiency and decisiveness even made him feel a little bit of fear.

Thinking of this, he said:
"Now that things have happened, we can no longer contain the development of the other party through direct conflict. All we can do is accept the facts and find ways to make up for them in subsequent strategies."

"Although they have achieved results in the aviation field, we still have an advantage in comparison, so I suggest not to invest too much energy in a short period of time."

"The established things cannot be changed, we can only regard these as sunk costs. The most important thing is to take the initiative in the current battery field first."

"We have already been unable to afford more failures. If the blockade in the battery field fails again, not only our office, but even the white house will inevitably experience great turmoil."

Hearing his words, the analyst nodded in agreement, and then said:
"Mr. Johnson, we think the same as you. According to the latest think tank data analysis, in the current situation, our optimal strategy is to seize the battery point to form a breakthrough, so as to gradually regain the monopoly position in the energy field. Advantage."

"This strategy has been extensively discussed by experts and has a high rate of feasibility and success."

Johnson nodded slightly, took out a cigarette and lit it, then took a deep breath and asked:
"How is the strategy we formulated in the early stage implemented now?"

The analyst took out a stack of papers from the folder and handed it to Johnson, then replied:

"We have preliminarily completed the negotiation with Greenbushes, and they agreed to cooperate with us in raising the price of raw material lithium, and they are more aggressive than we expected --- they intend to take this opportunity to directly increase the price to 400%, In this way, we will completely defeat the lithium-related enterprises in China."

"In addition, our domestic enterprises have basically completed the procurement of raw material lithium reserves. We have done it very covertly, and the market has not shown any price fluctuations because of this."

"At the same time, the production and trial production work on the island country has also come to an end. According to the plan, they will release sulfur-lithium batteries in advance before China to seize the market in advance."

"So, in general, there is no problem with our strategy execution, and we can even say that everything is going well-but, frankly, the previous two times we also thought that the plan was going well, but in the end there were problems. "

"So, this time we will bring in other forces to help us cross-check the plan, eliminate hidden dangers in the plan, and ensure a 100% success rate."

After listening to the analyst's report, the cigarette in Johnson's hand also burned to the end. He took the cigarette butt to his mouth and took a last breath. After a moment of silence, he said:
"The plan is perfect, and it sounds like the success rate is high, but this is not what I want now."

"Since I received the report on the first flight of J-20H just now, I have been thinking about one question, that is, where does the opponent's technology come from?"

"Chip, aviation development, and battery, these three fields seem to be unrelated, but they are all highly related to materials science, which shows that the breakthroughs in these three application fields are likely to be based on a certain basic theory. Caused by a breakthrough, am I right?"

The analyst frowned, and after a while, he nodded solemnly and replied:
"Yes."

Johnson lit a cigarette again and continued his analysis:

"So, based on this logic, I wonder who made this breakthrough."

"I looked through the previous reports, and in their reports, I found a name: Ye Zhou."

"In fact, you have already noticed this person before me."

"He is the inventor of Yinglong EDA and the leader of the Zhiwei lithography machine project. At the same time, during the manufacture of the Qilian engine, he also appeared in Fengfei's Liming Aviation Development Factory."

"This makes me have to make a guess, that is: all these technological breakthroughs are essentially related to him."

"For the battery project, we have not yet obtained tangible evidence, but the key to this project, that is, sulfur-lithium compounds, is actually the content of materials science."

"It is very likely that he has been involved and even led the project."

Having said that, Johnson paused for a moment, then changed the topic:
"Then, based on this analysis, what we know is that Ye Zhou is likely to have mastered some kind of technological breakthrough in the field of materials science, and this technological breakthrough is likely to be applied in a wider range of fields."

"So, if we really want to prevent Huaxia's technological breakthrough, what we have to do is not only to see the tricks, but to solve the problem fundamentally."

"Get this man off the face of the earth, and our threat will automatically disappear."

The analyst looked at Johnson calmly. He knew that the other party was an extremely aggressive person, so he was not surprised that he proposed such a strategy.

After pondering for a moment, he asked:
"So, Mr. Johnson, according to your suggestion, we should take special action against Ye Zhou?"

Johnson nodded and replied:

"We must take action against him. Although it is impossible to judge his real threat at the moment, think about it another way. Getting rid of him will not do us any harm, will it?"

"Indeed."

While recording everything Johnson said on the handheld PAD, the analyst continued to ask:
"What method should we adopt? As far as I know, Ye Zhou is now under the official protection of the other party. If he wants to attack, it may not be that simple."

Hearing this question, Johnson also frowned.

This is indeed a difficulty.

They currently have almost sufficient firepower projection capabilities around the world, but it is still not so easy to harm a closely guarded important personnel.

The opponent is not a small country that can be bullied by others. Once the action fails, the consequences will be extremely serious.

After pondering for a moment, he asked:
"Can you find a way to get him to leave China? For example, invite him to participate in certain exhibitions? As far as I know, an important exhibition in the field of communications will be held in Barcelona soon. Can we take advantage of this opportunity?"

The analyst paused, then said:

"I will try, but the success rate of this strategy is not high. Of course, in addition to this, we are not without other strategies."

"I will submit a report to you, and it will be up to you to judge the final strategy to be implemented."

"Okay, then follow this plan. Remember, don't speak English!"

"understand!"

Ye Zhou, who was thousands of miles away, never imagined that the owner of this office would finally come up with a correct strategy through a series of wrong judgments, and finally pointed the finger at himself.

However, both he and the official were already prepared for this situation, because they had seen the same thing too many times.

Now, it's just another test.

They have been preparing for this possible hunt, and on this day, the hunt officially started.

As for who is the real prey?
The answer seems obvious.
