Chapter 512: Tech Giant
In other words, the root cause is the problem of technology and extraterrestrial space.
Although Sardinia is a small country on Earth, it is a giant in science and technology, having successfully landed a man on the moon five years ago and an astronaut on the moon three years ago. Landing on the moon is not uncommon, but what about demarcating land on it? More than 10 million square kilometers have been demarcated?
You must know that the moon is not as big as the earth, its surface area is 38 million square kilometers, and Sardinia will dig up one-third of it without saying a word, and the result is naturally not good. According to the Outer Space Treaty and the Moon Treaty, the Moon is owned by mankind.
Otherwise, wouldn't the moon belong to the Americans when they went up to plant the national flag?
However, the regulations are only the general direction, and there are no detailed rules to explain the development and management of land. Leaving aside the law, the matter returns to the most basic principle -- whoever develops first belongs to whom. This principle is clearer, and the most versatile base of the moon, it is planted with a white cross and a blue border flag.
Naturally, other capable powers are not to be outdone, but it is a pity that it is definitely not an easy thing to spend money on building a lunar base -- there is money to play technology, but there is no money to try luck. As a result, Sardinia built a lunar base, and they were just a few small cars and signal stations.
It is logical that after many space planes landed on the moon, the base in Sardinia was initially built, and each material was a machine qì man that could be freely combined, and they were first combined into a rover, which drove out in all directions, and inserted beacons along the way...... This circle is a Russia.
However, other countries do not admit it, they only say that Sardinia has the right to develop the moon, and the site of its "use" is near the moon's equator, about 1.6 million square kilometers, and more than 10 million that is impossible to talk about. And 1.6 million there, everyone tacitly admitted.
Because...... Although it is said that the United Nations prohibits the construction of military bases in outer space. But when the United States and the Soviet Union competed for hegemony, it proved that no treaty was as real as fists and strength.
The Royal Aerospace Corporation of Sardinia has invested a lot of money to build a military base with two sets of lasers and a set of electromagnetic guns - in exchange for a future that cannot be valued. Any country that wants to land on the moon will have to face these weapons.
Military power on the moon can be as simple as speeding up a pebble and aiming it at a target. It's something that no one can bear. What's more, this combination of "dead light + electromagnetic cannon" in Sardinia, as long as they use weapons, the area will be completely blocked.
Under pressure from all quarters to "build military bases in outer space," the Sardinian government finally relented and admitted that the moon belonged to everyone, but that certain areas were contracted by them, and that if they did not give territorial rights, they would have territorial rights -- just like private territories, outsiders could not intrude on them.
However, the exact size is still uncertain.
Sardinia holds more than 10 million square kilometers of territory. The major powers only recognize the 1.6 million of them, and the rest of the area is their immorality to cover the exploration areas of other countries. Sardinia, on the other hand, gave a deadline of three years for the disputed countries to go to the moon and talk together to see who the area belonged to.
As a result, everyone was dumb.
Therefore, the large area is currently a disputed area where red lines are drawn, and there are often land vehicles in Sardinia, and other countries are reluctant to set their targets in the area when they land on the moon, although it is everyone's own. But in fact, it is somewhat uneasy to fall in someone else's yard.
Maybe everyone will be surprised. The matter of the moon cannot be solved, so what about going back to the surface?
After all, human beings live on the earth, and everyone's disputes are happening on the earth, how can the great powers tolerate Sardinia so wantonly enclosing land on the moon? It's a long story, and it also involves the question of the country's military strength, which is small in Sardinia. But it's not bad.
Since the development of Sardinia, this person has been popular a lot, and it is inevitable that he will be subject to some speculation and temptation, and there was an incident of NATO military aircraft "mistakenly" entering Sardinia's airspace six years ago. It was the military aircraft deployed by the United States in Sicily, hovering around the airspace of Sardinia.
Then the pilot may have gotten lost. Just enter its airspace and try it.
At that time, it was the most advanced sixth-generation fighter, supersonic and stealthy, which was difficult for ordinary countries to detect, and it was difficult to lock it with fire control radar. As a result, as soon as they crossed that line, the fighter radar siren beeped all the way, and the two fighters were locked by the ground radar, no matter what they did, maneuvering sharply, projectile jamming chaff, or electromagnetic countermeasures...... To no avail, the opposing radar is always locked.
Being locked by the fire control radar means that the guided weapon will be able to attack the target - what is the advantage of the stealth fighter? Radar is hard to lock! Or when locked, they can quickly get rid of it by relying on stealth and flexibility. Now you can't get rid of the lockdown, no matter how advanced you are, it's a dead end!
As long as the other side launches two anti-aircraft missiles, these two valuable sixth-generation fighters will have to be scrapped.
Under this pressure, they immediately evacuated. They were followed by Sardinia's drones, five drones burst out at five times the speed of sound to chase them, and the radar on the ground kept locking on the two US military planes, which were able to blast them to pieces at any time.
Even the drone flew around the two US military planes in a relaxed and comfortable manner, and radioed with the other side to confirm their identities and ask the US military planes to slow down their flight, otherwise they would take further measures...... In the end, the U.S. military obediently cooperated, and neither the pilots nor the planes could afford to lose.
In the end, the "lost" military plane found its home and returned to the military base in Sicily.
The Sardinia official also greeted the two pilots who were lost, and they were in good health...... On TV, in the form of ridicule, it was reported on the difficult journey home of two lost bald eagles. And the eyes of the foreign media, especially Europeans, are as big as copper bells!
According to the disclosure, the U.S. military is two of the most advanced manned sixth-generation aircraft, while Sardinia is a very common F200-ER extended range version, and the foreign trade version is sold to many countries, so that those countries that are too lazy to train manned pilots save a lot of financial resources and time.
These were supposed to be two unequal competitions, but why did the US military plane fall into the desert and escape the curtain call?
Governments and the media were really curious, and after many inquiries, they restored part of the facts: at that time, the US military planes had been locked on, and the other side could destroy them in the air at any time, but in the end they did not do so. Because Sardinia has military power, but no strength for war.
The reason is that the country is too small. Without strategic depth, no matter how strong the ability to attack is, the enemy only needs one round of super-saturation attacks, and in the end they can only lose both. Sardinia is currently dominated by economic development, and if there is a war, it will be mired. It is impossible to talk about future development.
But the power of Sardinia has also opened the eyes of European countries.
At present, there are not many countries in Europe that dare to compete with the United States, except for the woolly bear, and France may have the strength, but after all, it is a member of NATO, and everyone is in a group. This time, the U.S. military's brain pumped and almost got someone down.
That's not all that Sardinia has shown. They don't want to cause trouble, but they don't have the ability to cause trouble.
After that incident, the US military was very curious about the ground-based radar and wanted to find out, but it was impossible to send fighter planes, so they showed off the SR-72 super-high-speed reconnaissance plane, flew over the head of Sardinia from a high altitude, and used a high-resolution camera to photograph the ground. Find out the suspicious radar station.
The SR-72 sent out is a drone with speeds up to Mach 6. At the moment no anti-aircraft missiles can catch up, but the flaws have also come out, and the speed of the electromagnetic guns in some countries is twice as fast...... However, this has not yet been unveiled, and the current speed of the naval electromagnetic gun is about Mach 5.
The drone thought that it could be like no one's land, and easily circled around the head of Sardinia, and the first circle started. It was scanned by radar again, but this time the United States confidently continued to go around in circles, because military intelligence showed that neither the electromagnetic cannon nor the plane could catch up with it.
It's a pity that the ideal is too beautiful. Sardinia doesn't have such a fast military aircraft, and the aerospace fighter under development is okay, but it is not necessary to fully reveal the hole cards, so the ground fires electromagnetic cannons into the air. This is a cannon carrying an extended-range rocket that gains Mach 5 velocity and uses the rocket to accelerate.
The drone was too fast, and the purpose this time was not to catch up with the attack, and it was not easy to achieve - three guided shells exploded around the SR-72, forming a cloud filled with electromagnetic pulses, and the SR-72 rushed over, and then all the electronics were burned by the EMP...... Straight down.
EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) is known as an electron killer, and any electronic component that encounters it will end in a short circuit and burn out, and it is known to be able to knock humans back to the primitive era when there were no lights and no electricity - but it is not easy to make, and it is usually produced after a nuclear explosion.
At present, the EMP that was not caused by the nuclear explosion has been preliminarily controlled by the Kanica Corporation.
The result? The SR-72 was hit, most of the electronic equipment burned out, lost control and fell to the ground, and then it landed on Corsica, and the French were shocked at the time - they sent troops to search overnight, military planes rose into the air, and the American troops were also extremely nervous.
The French, naturally, did not allow the Americans to enter and leave their territory at will, and even the French drove their warships out and waited for them...... The Americans suffered dumb losses and watched the French go into the mountains to search, and they could only say through diplomatic channels, please return them in full.
The French are also cheerful, and they say that they will return it to you if they find it.
In the end, it took them a week to find ...... You must know that the island is not big, and military planes can see it in a circle, and sending thousands of people is also a matter of a day's work, and the French spent a week, which is called their attitude to life, and the pace is slow.
Americans are estimated to be dripping blood in their hearts, and the secrets that should have been dug up.
For a long time after the incident, the United States did not intend to send military planes into the air of Sardinia, and Sardinian did not announce anything related to the time, saying that they were also in a state of confusion, and caught the "drunk" drone from the plane overhead, and then fell into Corsica.
They expressed regret.
France also expressed regret that the incident of incursions into its airspace was put aside.
For the first time, the US military suffered losses from a small country, and each time it became more and more miserable, the first time it was chased and beaten, and the second time it directly used inexplicable means to bring down its reconnaissance plane.
It's a great deal of patience, and it's been a lot of buzz around the world.
The attitudes and relations of various countries have undergone subtle changes. The most obvious is that Kanica's arms sales business is booming, and some countries that lack military strength or want to be lazy want to order drones and a set of systems. And countries that pursue high technology want military cooperation.
The French have all kinds of friendly cooperation, invited military exercises, and jointly developed military science and technology, and so on, while Britain, the number one junior brother of the United States, has also undergone a change in its psychology -- if China is so strong, there is nothing to blame, but they still have to mix with the United States, after all, China is not a corrupt country.
But Sardinia, unlike them, can climb kinship.
And they are also Europeans, and they are about to become members of the big family of the European Union, and they are not stupid enough to cross the Atlantic to lick the ass of the United States - you must know that it was the United States that advocated the independence of the British colonies in the first place! The British have a mixed love-hate relationship with them.
Now that the sun is rising in the Mediterranean, everyone sees an opportunity.
Ambitious countries have made calculations, and even the United States has come to friendly exchanges to find out what is true and true in Sardinia, and at the same time to establish their attitude. In the end, the answer was reassuring for the time being, that Sardinia had no ambitions for military expansion and did not want to engage in an arms race.
What is certain is that the great powers have the ability to crush Sardinia, but Sardinia has the confidence to bring all mankind back to primitive times. This creates a mutually restrictive equilibrium. The development of the military is not a bad thing, and in the end, a good environment for dialogue on an equal footing will be formed.
