The US military has been duped, and the US navy and air force, falling into the rhythm of China, have embarked on two dead ends

The game of great powers is very rhythmic, and it is difficult to lose if you want to keep your own pace. But once you fall into the rhythm of the other party, you will be powerless. Now, the United States will fall into the rhythm of China.

Last year was the year when China's "Belt and Road" initiative made a huge breakthrough in the Middle East. The most direct political feedback was the reconciliation between Iran and Saudi Arabia. This breakthrough completely broke the strategic balance between China and the United States.

As we all know, the geographical location and rich oil and gas resources in the Middle East make the Middle East a very special place in the world. After the Cold War, the United States invested a lot of energy in the Middle East for the need to maintain hegemony, controlling the entire situation in the Middle East by all means. The contradiction between Saudi Arabia and Iran is an integral part of the United States strategy in the Middle East. As a result, China has resolved the contradiction between Saudi Arabia and Iran, and let the "Belt and Road" initiative take root in the Middle East.

Can the United States not rush? Hurry! So the United States is pulling India, Saudi Arabia and the European Union to build an "Indo European Economic Corridor". However, this plan was criticized by experts all over the world once it was put forward, calling it "the product of political game". Its economic value is not high, but it has to benchmark the "Belt and Road" initiative.

In my opinion, whether this "Indo European Economic Corridor" is successful or not, it shows one thing, that is, the United States has lost its rhythm and started to follow the rhythm of China. Indeed, even the US air force and navy have begun to be led by China.

According to the US Defense News website, the US Air Force and Navy have taken two different paths in the new round of budget planning.

The budget composition of the US military can be roughly divided into three categories: procurement, R&D and maintenance. Each service can flexibly allocate according to its own strategic needs. In most cases, the proportion of the US Navy and the Air Force in these three categories will be very close, but this year, this situation has changed.

According to the detailed information disclosed on the website, the procurement budget of the US Air Force has declined, reducing the number of procurement of multiple fighters, including B-21, F-35 and F-15EX, but increasing the investment in research and development of the sixth generation fighter and unmanned wingman. However, the Navy chose to increase the priority of maintenance budget, while the procurement volume remained unchanged and the R&D investment was reduced.

The US Air Force believes that its top priority now is to maintain its "absolute advantage" over the Chinese Air Force, but we all know that after the J-20 came out, the "absolute advantage" of the US Air Force was a joke, so the US Air Force chose to bet on the sixth generation.

At the moment, the US Navy is in the Middle East, carrying out deterrence missions, bombing targeted targets in the Middle East, and intercepting missiles armed by Hussai. It has to increase investment in equipment maintenance and ammunition procurement. But why does the US Navy choose to give up R&D when choosing between procurement and R&D?

Because the US Navy believes firmly in the saying that "China will attack the Taiwan Strait in 2027", in order to make the US Navy have the power in World War I in 2027, it must step up procurement and try to improve its own strength in a short time. To tell the truth, the so-called "2027 node" is actually just the time node for the PLA to complete the first step in the "new three-step strategy". The US Navy is more or less a joke.

It can be seen that the US Air Force and Navy, caught in the rhythm of China's development, have made serious strategic mistakes.

But let me say that with the current scientific research strength and industrial scale of the United States, there is no miscarriage of justice, and I am afraid that the PLA will surpass it in a few years.
