The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 1100 Attention
The news of the successful test launch of the DF-31AG was quickly reported in the news.

On the Internet, the scene was so exciting that netizens left comments one after another.

"The test launch of the DF-31AG is really amazing. It feels like our national defense technology has reached a new level!"

"Although our strength has increased, the international situation is still very complicated and we cannot take it lightly."

"The successful test launch of the DF-31AG is a leap forward in our military technology. We need to continue to work hard in the future!"

"."

From each message, we can see everyone’s pride and confidence, as well as their rational thinking and concerns about the complex international situation in the future.

It is true that the current international situation is too complicated and too chaotic!
Over in Africa, half of the African land has been at war for several years, and the fighting has not yet subsided. From the 90s to now, Africa's population has not increased but decreased.

According to data released by the United Nations, between 1986 and 1990, the average annual growth rate of Africa's population was %, far exceeding the world's average annual growth rate of 1.7%, with an average annual net increase of 1700 million people. In 1950, Africa's population was only 2.2 million, but in 1980 it reached 4.7 million, roughly doubling in 30 years. By 1990, the population of the African continent had reached 6 million, about 1950 times that of 2.8.

According to estimates in 1990, at that time Africa's population was expected to approach 2000 million by the year 8, given the growth rate it was growing at.

However, years of continuous war have plunged many African countries into war. The war has destroyed peace and stability, let alone development. A large number of people have died in the war.

By New Year's Day 2002, the United Nations released a statistical data that the current population of Africa is 5 million, which is 1990 million less than the estimated value in 3.

A large number of Africans died in the war or fled the African continent because of the war and flocked to Europe.

According to incomplete statistics, more than 2000 million Africans drowned in the Mediterranean Sea alone.

Every year, Americans accuse Europe of human rights, saying that Europe launched the "slave trade" in Africa, which brought severe difficulties to Africa, and now Europe is killing more Africans because it refuses to accept African refugees. Every European has blood on his hands.

Europeans, on the other hand, talk about the Latin American immigrants who were turned away at the US border. However, there are also many refugees at the US border who want to enter the United States to pursue a better life, but are cruelly rejected by Americans and stopped outside the border. Every year, there are news reports about the tragic plight of these people.

Even now, Europe is still unwilling to accept all African refugees, because African refugees have brought tremendous pressure to countries such as Portugal and Spain, and caused huge social conflicts and social security problems.

The war in Southeast Asia had just ended, and even now, we can still see news about fighting pirates and rebel forces.

In the South Asian subcontinent, no one has forgotten the drama at the beginning of last year, when a war involving two to three million troops broke out between the two sides. Although the parties in South Asia signed a ceasefire agreement in just a few months, it was only a ceasefire agreement, not a peace agreement. Everyone knows that a ceasefire agreement means that war may break out at any time.

In addition, Sri Lanka in the South Asian subcontinent has not yet seen the dawn of peace. Sri Lanka has not yet reached a consensus on the issue of peace. The entire Sri Lanka is in chaos with warlords fighting each other, and there are many forces. No one has the strength to eliminate other warlords and unify Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka's population was 1990 million in 1732, but now it is only 1503 million, equivalent to the level in 1980.

In the Middle East, the war between Palestine and Israel is in full swing, and neither side is willing to give in, and both sides are very tough. Moreover, the war is not just about the army and military facilities, but has spread to civilians and civilian facilities from the beginning.

On October 10 last year, the United States announced the start of military operations in Afghanistan, and the Afghan War broke out. Because there were previous Afghan Wars led by Britain and the Soviet Union, this Afghan War is also called the Third Afghan War.

Since the outbreak of the Afghan war, millions of people have died in coalition air strikes and millions of refugees have been created.

So far, the US-led coalition has controlled 30% of Afghanistan, including the Afghan capital Kabul.

The Afghan guerrillas control 70% of the territory of Afghanistan, and the coalition forces are fighting mountain warfare, guerrilla warfare, and security warfare with the guerrillas. Even if the US military and its allies increase their troops, bringing the coalition's ground forces in Afghanistan to 20, they cannot control the entire country.

This is just a regional war, and the game between major powers in the international arena is becoming more and more obvious.

The United States’ announcement of its withdrawal from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty was the result of the great power game, which then intensified the great power game.

The Rocket Force's firing of a shot at this time is undoubtedly a display of strength to the outside world, a warning to certain countries not to act rashly, and a demonstration of its determination to safeguard national interests.

In addition, 10 diplomats and security personnel were invited to form a group of American and Western experts for the test launch.

United States.

At this moment, the conference room was silent, and everyone opened their mouths wide with horror on their faces.

Since receiving the notification, the United States has attached great importance to it and simulated the interception of the DF-31AG.

Even supercomputers were used.

However, with the current interception methods of the United States, all have failed and cannot be intercepted at all.

You know, according to expert calculations, the DF-31AG solid-fuel intercontinental missile can carry nuclear warheads with a yield of hundreds of thousands of tons, and possibly even millions of tons.

And if nothing unexpected happens, it can carry multiple nuclear warheads. As to whether it carries two, three, four or more nuclear warheads, there is no way of knowing.

This made the hawks, who had been clamoring for a tough stance, feel their scalps tingling, their backs chilled, and they broke out in cold sweats.

He just couldn't understand how the other party could develop such an advanced intercontinental ballistic missile.

We are not fools, especially Americans, who are all very smart.

As the only country in the world that has used nuclear weapons in actual combat, Americans understand the power of nuclear weapons better than anyone else.

Precisely because they are aware of the power of nuclear weapons, Americans have always attached great importance to the development of nuclear weapons, constantly innovating and enhancing the power of nuclear weapons.

The only country in the world with more nuclear weapons than the United States is the Soviet Union.

"We must build a more powerful anti-missile system and upgrade our Patriot missile defense system and Standard missile defense system!" the hawk said hesitantly.

He felt very insecure at this moment, and his previous tough attitude could no longer be displayed.

In fact, other people understood him. After all, they were all upper-class elites and lived well. No one wanted to die.

Even if there are air defense facilities, if ordinary people are dead, what’s the point of them being alive?

The reason why the elites are elites is because there are ordinary people; the reason why the upper class is the upper class is because there are the lower class.

Besides, who can guarantee that they will survive?
