Chapter 300: Becoming Famous
It also happened that China's ocean-going fleet happened to be in Tanzania recently. Regardless of the scale of the joint military exercises, Nia will not be able to make a big deal anyway. The point is, the Chinese are over there! They are only a thousand kilometers away from the UME, and the UME has already seized the SR-72.
The Americans speculate at worst: UME is likely to invite China to disassemble and analyze the SR-72 in order to gain the support of more major powers. It uses a lot of cutting-edge technology, and if China gets it, they will go further in terms of engines, radar and stealth.
The Americans, of course, were in a hurry and immediately put pressure on the UME through diplomatic channels: return my plane!
UME is also not a vegetarian, and it is very backbone under the influence of hawks like the two chiefs: you invade my airspace first, and if you don't shoot it down, it will be considered face.
The Americans, however, did not appreciate it, claiming that the reconnaissance plane's activities in the normal area were caused by the "ostentatious" approach flight of the UME military's aircraft.
And the Americans were still a little panicked, warning China not to approach the SR-72, and the UME military could not give China access to the plane.
Not to be outdone, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs declared that China has established good economic and political exchanges with the UME and will not be dictated by a third party.
The three countries are talking about each other, each with a ghost.
And what this scene shows to the world is a succession of good dramas, which is comparable to a bloody drama!
What is even more shocking to the world is that the SR-72, which is extremely famous, actually got the UME plane? The rumored FM-1 fighter with a very loud cannon is really so powerful?
This sudden incident, in addition to letting people see that the great power game between China and the United States has been staged all over the world, also saw a giant in Africa.
Various skepticism also followed, with some saying that UME was invested by Freemasonry. They have absorbed a large number of advanced technologies from the West, and they themselves have advanced technology, and they have hidden a secret for hundreds of years, which is finally exposed today: they want to enslave mankind and rule the world.
It is also said that the land of Malagasy was once dropped by an alien flying saucer. The white people have obtained a lot of alien technology there, and have also established cooperative relations with aliens, and will use these technologies to control humans and achieve the purpose of colonizing the alien planet.
All kinds of strange speculations emerge one after another.
The protagonists of the story are now engaged in various games.
UME's attitude is that I have a big belly, I am a good person, and it is okay for your US military plane to invade the airspace and land, but I can't help you fix it and send it back, and I don't have such a big transport plane. Be able to load this guy up and bring it back to you in the United States.
On the Chinese side, they said that they had received a request for help from UME and wanted to borrow their transport plane, dismantle the SR-72 and then transport it to the U.S. military's Garcia base, but because of their unfamiliarity with the aircraft, the dismantling may take a while, and I hope the U.S. military will be patient.
The United States must be so angry that it is jumping to its feet. They asked to drive their own C-5 transport planes over, and they could do it themselves! But UME refused. He said that the two sides are still at odds over the invasion of airspace, and sending military aircraft to join at this time will only cause relations between the two countries to deteriorate.
The implication is: don't forget, we still have a number of cutting-edge areas of cooperation, which is too stiff and not good for both sides. I'm a small country though. But there is also backbone, not everyone can pinch it. What's more, the whole world knows that it was the US military that invaded the airspace first!
Things are decisively deadlocked here.
There have been a lot of private negotiations between the major powers, and even polar bears have intervened, saying that none of the three parties are willing. Their Polar Bear transport aircraft can also take on the task...... The Americans are decisive that there is no such thing as a bird, and they are thinking about cleaning you up sooner or later.
So things continue to be discussed, and the plane continues to be seized.
The media and netizens of various countries who are concerned do not know what is going on behind the scenes, only that the United States agreed to entrust China to help dismantle and transport it on the third day, but it needs to be carried out with the "help" of the Americans; UME says it's perfectly fine.
They were not interested in the SR-72 and had never touched it.
Americans know this, and the meaning behind UME is: not interested in you. As for why the Chinese are allowed to intervene, this is politics. In the aftermath, China will owe UME a favor, and at the same time, it will strengthen the power that previously confronted the United States.
The UME is not strong overall, and it will take time for the big guys to be on top of it.
The seizure of the Goddess of Dawn was properly resolved in a way that was acceptable to all three parties -- it took a week to dismantle the plane, but China, which had always been efficient, was now slow to learn, and learned the essence of the French life of working only three hours a day.
……
After this strange affair, the UME Air Force became famous.
Everyone is tired of the contest between China and the United States, which is nothing more than the Soviet Union and the United States in the last century, but now China is smarter, reflecting the unique high intelligence of the East Asian people...... The headlines were still snatched away by UME, and the society was full of interest in the fighter that could catch up with the SR-72.
Montson Aerospace also took this opportunity to promote their FM-2 model.
FM-2 is much smaller than FM-1 from the picture, the latter as described by the US military, FM-1 is like a bomber, because of the engine, range and other needs, its load, almost two-thirds of it is oil, so that its combat radius has reached an astonishing 5000 kilometers.
As for the FM-2, a single-engine variable-cycle engine, the maximum speed can reach Mach 5, the subsonic combat radius is 1500 kilometers, and the supersonic speed will be less; Because of the stealth in mind, the amount of ammunition can only be carried by six missiles, and it is not bad to be able to reach eight without considering stealth.
But even if it is "good", it has managed to attract countless people.
The FM-2's performance has not been met with much skepticism due to the foreshadowing of its predecessor, the FM-1, and it has also been tested in public on several occasions, and proudly participated in air shows, where it demonstrated the tremendous movement when it reached five times the speed of sound - and it took a long time before the sound came.
It also has an advantage in price, with a unit price of 100 million US dollars, and more purchases can enjoy discounts. Later, it was reported that Saudi Arabia, a big dog owner, was eyeing it and reached a contract with UME for 20 FM-2/B/C, with Type B unmanned and Type C manned; Including ammunition, control systems and training, a total of $2.5 billion.
And then I can't resist the temptation. The United Kingdom, which itself is not in a position to develop and the United States refuses to sell to it, has also placed orders, and the number is even more, reaching 30, and it may be added to 80 in the future. The exact transaction amount was not disclosed, but Montessori Aerospace claimed that it was a pleasant cooperation.
UME is already snatching the market for high-end fighters in the United States, but they can't fight back - take the F22 to sell? It's not as expensive as someone else's six generations! With its own sixth-generation aircraft? It's all secret, and the army doesn't have much equipment, how can it be sold?
Therefore, it caused the scene of the Meng Aerospace family being the dominant and the sixth-generation aircraft being sold in tears!
Its combat performance, which has also been well verified in continuous tests and simulations after delivery! Those who were unable to develop sixth-generation aircraft and were greedy for trouble have placed orders with UME, allowing them to open two additional factories to other cities, and business is becoming more and more prosperous.
……
Let's go back to the present.
After the humiliating seizure, the US military no longer dares to easily send reconnaissance planes to invade, but its satellite and espionage methods are intensive, and at the same time, they deliberately sow discord between India and UME on the issue of "backyard ownership" in the Indian Ocean and support India as a proxy.
The Americans really don't have much energy in the Indian Ocean, keeping a base in Garcia, occasionally sending military aircraft to Africa, and the appearance of an aircraft carrier fleet every once in a while, is already the limit. By instigating relations and forming strategic alliances, it is one way to get India to interfere with the UME.
India has also stepped onto this ship -- the Indian army is still made in all countries, and Russian and French equipment are available, and in the past few years, it has been on good terms with the United States for a while and has accepted a number of transport planes.
On the other hand, the existence of UME also affects India's good sense of self, and they also need to form a check-and-balance on UME strategically; On the other hand, it is also to weaken the power of China, a potential ally, and then take more benefits from the Americans to strengthen themselves.
India and the United States have become threats at this stage of the UME.
After considering it, the UME government decided to increase the bargaining chips at the military base in the Seychelles, and quietly replaced the electromagnetic cannon with the maximum range, Mach 10 for 2,000 kilometers, which just brought the US military's Garcia base into the strike range, and at the same time blocked the Indian fleet at home.
In terms of defense in the eastern seas, they learned the lesson of China's constrained island chain by the US military, and decided to take the initiative to negotiate with Mauritius in order to lease part of their overseas land on Rodrigues Island as a naval and air base.
The island is 1,500 kilometers away from the UME mainland, which can effectively prevent the military blockade of other countries, and once again include the Garcia military base in the range of artillery strikes. It can also eliminate all threatening opponents around it, and it can also improve its ocean-going combat capabilities like Hawaii in the United States. (To be continued.) )
