The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 933 Three pillars
Satellite phones have many advantages.

First, satellite communications can cover all areas of the earth's surface, regardless of terrain, topography and other environmental factors. Even in sparsely populated areas such as deserts, plateaus, polar regions and oceans, basic voice and data communication services can be achieved, achieving true blind-spot-free communications.

Secondly, satellite communication has a long distance. Any location within the coverage area of ​​the electromagnetic waves emitted by the satellite can communicate with each other, and the communication distance that synchronous communication satellites can achieve is more than 18000 kilometers.

Furthermore, satellite communications have a large capacity, with a frequency range of 2 GHz to 40 GHz, tens of thousands of voice communication channels, and data transmission speeds of up to 100 Mbps.

Finally, satellite communications have low losses and stable signal transmission. Because most of the satellite communication links are located in outer space, the ground environment and human factors will basically not affect the communication.

These advantages make satellite phones very important in many aspects.

For example, when a ship is drifting on the sea, there is no communication base station. However, with a satellite phone, it can communicate no matter where it is in the ocean.

For example, in the wilderness, there are no communication base stations and no telephone lines, but satellite phones can be used normally through communication satellites.

Of course, this does not mean that satellite phones have no disadvantages. There is no perfection in this world. Every advantage has its disadvantages.

One of the disadvantages of satellite phones is that the service life of satellites is short, because communication satellites are integrated high-tech products composed of countless parts. Once any part fails, it will directly cause the failure of the entire satellite, and it is basically impossible to repair it due to the high cost of maintenance. The service life of Panshan Group's communication satellites is only 10 to 15 years, which means that if it is used normally, it can only be used for 10 to 15 years. If there is any failure, the life of the satellite will be greatly reduced.

Furthermore, satellite communications may be interfered by special celestial phenomena. For example, when the satellite is between the earth and the sun and the three are in a straight line, the satellite antenna will be interfered by solar radiation, and the ground station antenna will also receive strong solar noise, causing communication interruption.

The research and development, manufacturing, launch, measurement and control of communication satellites require the support of advanced space technology and electronic technology, and are extremely complex. The number of countries in the world that have mastered communication satellite technology can be counted on one hand.

Liu Tao watched the news. Around 11 o'clock, he took a shower and went to bed.

A great war is breaking out in Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean.

Government forces and the Tigers are engaged in a fierce battle for territory.

Before 1948, Sri Lanka was a British colony. On February 1948, 2, Sri Lanka officially declared independence and became a dominion of the Commonwealth. The country was named Ceylon. In 4, the country was renamed the Republic of Sri Lanka. In 1972, the new constitution was enacted and the country was renamed the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka.

After Sri Lanka's independence, the Tamils ​​established the Tigers in 1972 and embarked on the path of "independent nation-building".

Sri Lanka is an island country in the Indian Ocean south of the South Asian subcontinent, separated from the subcontinent by the Palk Strait in the northwest. It has a total area of ​​6.561 square kilometers and a population of 1300 million. The entire Sri Lanka is composed of three major ethnic groups: the Sinhalese, the Tamils, and the Moors, and most of the residents believe in Buddhism.

The three ethnic groups have been constantly fighting each other since 1983. The Sri Lankan civil war has lasted for 12 years and there is no hope of ending it.

The whole of Sri Lanka is divided into three parts, and Sri Lanka is in a three-way balance of power.

On the battlefield, the military observer group was wearing bulletproof helmets, bulletproof vests and holding binoculars as they observed the battle between the Sri Lankan government forces and the Tigers.

Sri Lanka's civil war has killed more than 500 people, displaced more than million people, and severely damaged the country's infrastructure.

But neither side has the absolute strength to defeat the other two and unify Sri Lanka.

The main equipment of the three parties includes combat tanks, armored transport vehicles, artillery, anti-aircraft missiles and patrol gunboats, etc. The firearms of the soldiers of the three parties are also varied, and can be said to be made in various countries.

Everyone in the military observation group is very careful, and in peacetime, they can learn something through observing the battlefield.

Military observation groups like this are dispatched about three times every year.

Learning war from war is a fine tradition of history.

While war broke out again in Sri Lanka, the Maldives, about 800 kilometers away, was peaceful. It has become a world-famous tourist destination.

This year, a large number of people from Panshan Group chose to come to Maldives for team building.

They will travel here for a week and then fly back to the country after the week.

Many employees choose to pay some money and bring their families on vacation.

Chinese signs can be seen everywhere in the Maldives, and the service staff also speak Mandarin.

Seven years ago, some business groups instigated a coup in the Maldives. The Indian navy, air force and paratroopers wanted to attack the mercenaries, but they were severely hit by the mercenaries in the Maldives and suffered a disastrous defeat. The Republic of Maldives also completed its flag change.

The entire Maldives consists of 26 groups of natural atolls and 1192 coral islands distributed in an area of ​​9 square kilometers of sea, of which about 200 islands are inhabited. The country has a land area of ​​11.53 square kilometers (including territorial waters), a land area of ​​298 square kilometers, and a population of 55.7, of which the Chinese and overseas Chinese population has reached 40, accounting for 71.81% of the total population.

Naturally, the Maldives also withdrew from the Commonwealth, and after two years of efforts, it successfully inherited the original status of the Maldives in the United Nations and possessed sovereignty.

马尔代夫军队由陆军、海军和空军组成，陆军部队由8000多名士兵组成，海军部队则有1300人，空军部队拥有3架运输机、9架直升机、10架歼10战斗机、10架歼11战斗机。陆军拥有坦克装甲车、各类火炮。

At a military camp in the Maldives, at the command center, information from Sri Lanka continued to arrive, and the situation of both sides was constantly analyzed on the screen.

Maldives is so close to Sri Lanka and the subcontinent that we have to keep an eye on these two places.

At present, the Maldives’ army is mainly focused on defensive military construction, aiming to build the Maldives into unsinkable aircraft carriers.

The military observation group at the front continuously transmits the current intelligence of Sri Lanka back to the army for discussion, analysis and judgment.

Sri Lanka is a mess now, and mercenaries are not interested because they cannot change the situation at all. By the time the war is over, the whole of Sri Lanka will be in ruins.

It’s not that there are no countries that intend to mediate between the three parties in Sri Lanka, but unfortunately they all ended in failure.

The Maldives is actually under great pressure and needs to prevent the influx of refugees from Sri Lanka into the Maldives, which forces the navy to be on high alert.

For the Maldives, the Sri Lankan refugees should enter the subcontinent instead of joining the fun in the Maldives.
