Chapter 430: We also used expired maps
readx;
The final battlefield investigation results showed that the 18 missiles caused a total of more than 3,000 direct deaths, more than 1,000 serious injuries, and more than 1,000 minor injuries, and more than half of UNITA's strength accumulated over the past few decades was destroyed in this missile attack.

There are more and more people who would rather run back and be captives than stay in that hell on earth, the entire barracks have been almost razed to the ground, there are not a single intact buildings left, let alone tents, and the Congolese army is still around them to prevent them from spreading to other places, but what can they do if they come here and surrender?
The establishment of the UNITA Reform Party had already left half of the top level of UNITA, but this blow wiped out the other half, and more importantly, there was not a single person left on the CIA contact list, and the CIA could not contact anyone to understand the situation, and it was impossible to incite people to come out and correct Su's atrocities.
There was no choice but to go into battle in person, mobilizing the media to denounce and condemn Su, and on the other hand, some human rights organizations were dispatched to complain to the international tribunal about Su's war crimes and crimes against humanity.
"First of all, we have no intention of paying a three-minute silence to the innocent people who lost their lives in this incident, and that Aetna Security Company acknowledges the incident, and is responsible for compensating and apologizing to the Republic of Congo for the losses caused by this incident." At this time, Su Ming will definitely not appear, and it is Li Ruolin who appears on the stage, wearing a copy of Su's own clothes and leather shoes, looking like a successful person.
"Mr. Li, an unintentional sentence does not explain the crime you committed, and we have sufficient evidence to prove that you deliberately fired missiles at the target area, otherwise how could dozens of missiles hit a target together." A beautiful blonde reporter stood up and took the lead in questioning Li Ruolin's claim, and when she looked at the sign in front of her, it was not surprising that she was an Associated Press reporter.
"Can this beautiful young lady sit down, you don't need to stand up to ask questions, first of all, I want to correct a problem, that is, this is a press conference, not a courtroom, and the issue of evidence is not discussed, for the sake of you being a beauty, I am still happy to explain to you the question you asked, first, not dozens of missiles, but eighteen missiles, this has a launch record that can be announced, and we will not admit it if there are more, second, why did this happen by mistake, First of all, on behalf of Aetna Security Company, I would like to lodge a strong protest to your Memphis Data Company in the United States, it is precisely because of the use of your expired electronic maps that this accidental attack occurred, and because all our planes use the same equipment, the phenomenon of 18 missiles hitting the same target, we have decided to file a lawsuit in the High Court of London, demanding that Memphis Data Company take responsibility for this incident and compensate us for our losses. ”
Li Ruolin's words immediately ignited the atmosphere at the press conference, and all the people looked at him in disbelief, and then they discussed it fiercely, it seems that this kind of outdated electronic map has not appeared for the first time, and this Memphis data company is not the first time it has appeared, as if a certain country had explained this for the accidental bombing incident last year, but I didn't expect it to happen again a few months later.
And unlike last time, this time Memphis Data Company was even more miserable, and it was actually sued in court, looking at Li Ruolin sitting on the stage still with an impassioned and righteous indignant look, the people below wanted to laugh a little, but they couldn't laugh.
"You are an extremely shameless excuse, this is a serious hooliganism, which we absolutely cannot accept," the Associated Press reporter immediately stood up and pointed at Li Ruolin and screamed angrily as if she had been forcibly annihilated by a wild boar a hundred times.
"I'm sorry, this is a fact, you see, these are two maps, one is the electronic map used on our aircraft, this kind of electronic map is used by the aircraft of many countries, including civil aircraft, you can go to verify it, the other is a map that is mapped out by hand, after magnifying fifty times, you can see the obvious difference. In response to the 10-kilometre shift of Angola's border towards the Republic of the Congo (Congo), the Republic of the Congo has sent a letter of protest to Memphis Data against the unwarranted changes to the shape and distribution of the territory of the Republic of the Congo. ”
The error of this electronic map is indeed real, because Memphis is completely dependent on the data mapped by satellites, according to the different accuracy, Memphis Data Company divides his electronic map products into three levels, A level is for the United States' own use, the error is not more than ten meters, and B is for reliable allies NATO or South Korea, etc., the error is not more than one kilometer, and C is civilian level, of course, if you are not afraid of mistakes and want to use it in the military, Memphis will not limit it, As long as you are not afraid of making mistakes, and the error is about 10 kilometers, you can use it if you are not afraid of making mistakes.
This is due to the fact that many countries do not have the ability to draw global electronic maps, including Britain and France, only the United States and the Soviet Union have developed this ability when they are competing for global hegemony, and most of the other countries only have accurate electronic maps of their own countries or neighbors.
What if they export aircraft and other products to other countries, the other party will inevitably ask for relevant electronic maps, and then they will buy from the United States and Russia, Memphis Data is a professional company in this area, and its products account for more than 70% of the global market.
When replacing a full set of electronic equipment for the Super MiG and Super Thunderbolt, the engineers of Sushi Aviation found that the most accurate electronic map provided by Russia could not be compared with the C-level map of the United States in terms of accuracy, which was due to the fact that the satellites of the former Soviet Union were inferior to the American satellites in terms of accuracy, and they were even more different from the United States in the later satellite information data processing. Naturally, they adopted Memphis Data's products, but BAE secretly installed their own B-level maps for them.
After Su Ming had this idea, he initially just wanted to use this as an excuse, but the careful Li Ruolin was afraid that this excuse was too ridiculous, so he deliberately found a map to compare, but he didn't expect to find that the border line of Angola was offset by more than a kilometer to that side.
It's not my fault, it's all the map's fault, after this discovery, Li Ruolin immediately found Su Ming, and when he told him about this discovery, Su Ming couldn't help but sigh, what is this called, this is called the sky has eyes, why is the map of the United States also wrong, but it is still offset to the Congo side, and I can only blame the Americans for their own suffering.
When the plane was launched, it was launched directly at UNITA's camp, and the plane was still equipped with a B-level map, but who would let someone else come to the plane to check it could not be done, so naturally it would not be scratched by the finger - and then change to the C-level one.
After the press conference was held, the reprimanded media suddenly lost their voices, although they knew how shameless and scoundrel this excuse was, but no one could blame anything, the United States even dared to bomb the embassy, this side just blew up a military camp, although there were more people killed here, but the meaning was different after all, and Su's excuse was still reasonable, and the mistake was the map you produced.
Su Ming hasn't sued yet, and of course he doesn't plan to really sue, so Memphis Data Company came to the door and asked to have a private relationship with Su, because Su's use of their electronic map was approved by them, once Sue really used this as an excuse to sue them, not to mention that they would definitely win, at least it would seriously affect their business, and if the lawsuit was put in the UK, the impact on Memphis Data would be even more serious. Who knows if the old men in the British Parliament will be bored and make the decision to ban Memphis Data's products from entering the UK based on this.
Su Ming is not too much, the grievance with a country cannot be extended to a company, in addition to asking Memphis Data Company for a set of quasi-A-level electronic maps, and allowing Su to copy at will, but only for Su's own use, Memphis Data Company also gritted its teeth and took out Su's compensation to the Congo of five million US dollars.
Qian Suming doesn't care, no matter how much more than a few million Memphis Data Company can afford, but the relationship between the two sides is not as friendly as it is now, at least the value of the electronic map that people take out is difficult to measure, because you can't buy this thing even if you take money, unless it launches dozens of satellites around the earth every day like the United States, people have been rotating for decades, and then use supercomputers for post-processing.
Although the Americans are very unwilling, but they are helpless, the Chinese side has not yet settled, the money has been out of tens of millions, the Chinese side just does not accept the Americans' map of this period of time to say an excuse, they have to admit that it is deliberate, then how is it possible, Su Ming's blow is equivalent to hitting his soft threat at once, and it is not okay if he doesn't accept it, so he had to pinch his nose and admit it, and originally planned to claim compensation from Antai Company, because they also had more than a dozen staff members killed in this attack. Eventually, the bill was accepted by Memphis Data, and the matter was settled.
In view of the fact that this kind of thing has occurred twice in two years, the relevant international organizations have hastily revised several relevant international conventions, and technical problems such as outdated maps must not be used as an excuse to make mistakes and plug this loophole.
At this time, Su Ming was laughing, not for this news, but to get another good thing from Ada.
