Chapter four hundred and ninety fourth accidental fall
The development mode of South Korea is quite special. To sum up, it can be summarized in three words, which is "asymmetry".
South Korea has a small land area, but its economic strength is still pretty good. At least it is a relatively wealthy country in the world. However, the money in this country basically comes from some unfounded income, such as real estate, entertainment, luxury goods, etc.
Of course, South Korea also has its own industrial and electronics industries, and is quite famous in the world. However, these industries are said to be South Korea's technological industries, or they can be said to be not, because these industries are usually not complete. In other words, South Korea is only responsible for the final assembly or packaging, as well as brand marketing. Of course, these products are under the banner of South Korea, but in fact, if the parts can be removed, there will be few things produced by South Korea.
The advantage of this development model is that it makes money quickly and does not require any foundation. As long as you live your brain, you can change a lot in three years. You can move from a backward and poor country to a middle-aged country in ten years, and then directly into a wealthy country in ten years. It can be said that the development speed is super fast.
However, this development model is actually only suitable for small countries with small areas and a sect leader. It is impossible for countries that really want to seek a place in the world to adopt this development model, because if you want to have a say in the world, you need to have the strength of war as the basis, and this development model of South Korea obviously cannot have any combat effectiveness.
I won’t talk about the entertainment industry. The entire industry is over in an instant when the war begins. Who has the intention to watch concerts during the war? Luxury goods are similar. It’s easy to say in peacetime. Once you enter a state of war, these things cannot be eaten or worn, and cannot be used to kill enemies. What’s the use of keeping them?
Real estate looks like a fixed asset, but do you think someone will buy a house during the war? Even if so, I guess it is a house in the deep mountains and forests. The more downtown it is, the less people buy it, because this may be the enemy's focus on attacking.
Finally, the electronics and OEM industries in South Korea are the same. Because the industrial chain is incomplete, it is difficult to maintain during the war, and the cost will increase exponentially. The longer the war is delayed, the less potential it will be, so the war potential can basically be said to be equal to zero, and there will be nothing after the first attack.
Therefore, countries that choose this development model must have a sect leader, that is, a backer. This backer is the kind of real power that can be said in the world. Once a war breaks out, even if this backer does not directly send troops to help, at least they can help protect the transportation line and fill in the lame industrial chain. This will ensure that the country has basic war capabilities.
A world-class power does not depend on how much money it has, but on its overall strength. South Korea is the most typical example, and its reverse example is Russia.
South Korea is very rich and has a very developed economy. The capital Seoul is a world-class metropolis. When you enter it, you will feel like you are in a first-class developed country. But this is all appearance. If there is no external force intervention and encountering those real world powers, South Korea may be completely finished if it can't even last for a week.
Russia is just the opposite. This world-class superpower is so poor that it is so poor. The economy is basically a mess. It can only be said to be better than those in Africa and is almost up to the standards of South American countries. However, don’t look at the poor, if you really fight, people can confront the United States and China head-on, and the outcome is difficult to decide. This is the characteristic of a strong country. It does not have to be particularly rich, but it must have a complete industrial system. The country’s basic industry must have a considerable scale and a certain amount of resources and self-sufficiency. This is the basis of war. Without these, if you have money alone, it is not called a strong country. It can only be said that the economic development is good.
South Korea is a very powerful country with such a tilt. Its economy is the world's first-class. And industrial capabilities are basically one piece in the east and the west. Not to mention the industrial chain, the industrial reefs are not considered a part of it.
All the economic and industrial centers of the entire South Korea are basically concentrated in Seoul and its surrounding areas.
A big country like China, the United States and Russia, even if it is attacked by a nuclear bomb, even if its capital is flattened, the country is still a world power. The United States without Washington is still a superpower, and China without Beijing is definitely a world-class behemoth, and Russia without Moscow can still flatten Europe. However, if Seoul is bombed, one-third of South Korea's population, nearly half of its industrial capacity, and more than 90% of its commerce will disappear. Basically, South Korea will instantly turn from a world-wide country to a small backward country.
Therefore, South Korea's development method is actually very dangerous. If no one protects it, it will be a rhythm of a battle in minutes. Of course, Koreans also know this, so they are not really unprepared, and this preparation is the Americans, the sovereign country. Although modern society does not talk about the sovereign country, the meaning is actually the same. Koreans' industrial equipment is basically sold to it by the United States, and the remaining part is from Japan. The equipment sold by the Japanese is actually instructed by the Americans. In other words, all the industrial capabilities of South Korea are helped by the Americans. As long as the Americans suddenly say that they don't care about South Korea, then South Korea will instantly turn from a peacock into a bald chicken. This is reality.
This time the spacecraft suddenly turned and flew towards South Korea. The reason why the South Korean president reacted so much was because of the above reasons.
The current direction of this spacecraft is obviously to enter South Korea and land, but it is impossible to land where it will be. More importantly, Bai Lang and I entered the spacecraft. This joint meeting of heads of many countries knew the situation. In other words, this spacecraft may be knocked down by us at any time. If such a big thing falls in Seoul...
Of course, the spacecraft may not fall in Seoul, but the South Korean president dare not gamble! The United States loses any city, but it is still the United States, but without Seoul, it is not South Korea.
The even more fatal problem is that the Americans have had such a big deal and they have also suffered heavy losses. They will definitely not have time to control South Korea. The Koreans have finally obtained some technology and equipment to build their own immigration ships. Once they are interrupted by the fall of the spacecraft, they can't even find a chance to make a comeback!
How could the South Korean president be calm in this catastrophic situation?
Leaders of other countries knew what the Korean president was worried about when they saw this, but they couldn't say anything. At this time, everyone was too busy to clean up the snow in front of the door. Who still has time to control others? If it were normal for our country's usual style, they would definitely extend an olive branch to the Koreans. After all, what Chinese culture is best at is the art of traits. To put it bluntly, they are good at forming cliques and asking people to help support the situation. This opportunity to pull South Korea from the American camp to our camp, if it were the past, the bosses in our country would definitely make the decision without thinking. But now... I can only hehe.
Although the South Korean president was anxious like an ant on a hot pan, this did not help the situation at all.
The spacecraft had dropped very significantly after approaching South Korean airspace. At this time, its speed was already lower than the flight speed of the fighter. However, because both the Japanese and American bases were thrown away for a long time, they have not caught up yet. However, there were many Korean and American fighter jets not far ahead. The US planes were of course fighters taken off by the US bases in South Korea, and the South Korean planes were of course their own air defense interceptors.
However, after approaching the spacecraft, these two aircraft groups did not get close, but began to launch missiles from afar.
When a space immigration ship sails in the universe, it is inevitable to encounter a meteorite, so the spacecraft must carry some defense weapons to break meteorites. This type of equipment is the best air defense weapon on the ground, and its power is much stronger than the air defense weapons used on the earth. After all, the target is not crispy aircraft and missiles. It is solid meteorites, so these interception weapons are not only numerous, with extremely high accuracy, but also have great power.
The Korean fighter jets were all under the command of the US military at this time. The Americans knew how powerful the defensive weapons on these spacecraft were, so they naturally did not dare to let the fighter jets get close. Of course, if the opponent's interception ability was not strong, they might let the Korean planes be cannon fodder to attract firepower first, and then they followed, but because they knew that such a thing was impossible, they did not make it a bad guy for no reason.
After approaching the spacecraft, the fleet kept hovering outside the sight range, and launched a large number of missiles as they came up, but the result was similar to what was expected. All missiles were intercepted, and none of them were close to each other. The spacecraft's space interception ability was 360 degrees without dead angles. It was super fast, and the missile's saturation attack did not work.
After the helpless group launched all the long-range missiles, they could only fly with them. They could not reach the spacecraft at this distance, and they did not dare to get close to them, so they could only watch. Of course, the Patriot system on the ground also participated in the interception, but the result was the same. Not only did the missile fail, but even the launcher was destroyed several. This immigration ship was obviously not designed simply according to the immigration ship, it was quite armed.
"Have you calculated the landing point?" The US president asked the female orderly in the conference room under the Pentagon.
The female orderly quickly clicked on the computer a few times, and then a spacecraft's fall orbit prediction line appeared on the screen in the center. From this red dotted line, the spacecraft should fly over the northeast of Seoul, and will not pass through the city center, but only fly in the suburbs of the city. Moreover, according to the current trajectory, the spacecraft should continue to fly dozens of kilometers before landing. However, although this route is predicted in this way, the South Korean president was not much at ease, because the lessons of the Japanese were arranged there. The original plan was also from Tokyo Bay, and it was said that it would not affect Tokyo. What was the result? Half of Tokyo was almost smashed.
So, this kind of prediction is to look at it for now, as long as the spacecraft has not landed, it cannot be counted.
The spacecraft that slowed to twice the speed of sound soon entered the land of South Korea and continued to glide towards Seoul. However, at this time, a small aircraft caught up at an extremely high speed. The surface of this thing was only a faint phantom, which was actually optically invisible. When it flew past the middle of the American and Korean aircraft fleet, the American and Koreans knew that the aircraft had no signal on the radar. If it weren't for the fact that there were a few people hanging outside the aircraft vehicle and they passed directly from the center of their aircraft fleet, the distance was very close, they would almost never be able to find the aircraft.
The aircraft passed through the US and Korean aircraft group at a super fast speed and flew towards the spacecraft. However, it did not stop. It passed directly above the spacecraft and then turned around and disappeared into the air. This thing is a reconnaissance aircraft, and it has no weapons. This time it was a guest appearance as a transport aircraft. Since the mission was completed, of course it would be necessary to dodge it quickly. Anyway, it would be useless to stay.
When the aircraft flew over the spacecraft, I sensed the signal from Ling and the others. Now my subordinates finally arrived a few. I had lost more than half of the people in the United States before, and this time I was left with Bai Lang and I. If Ling and the others didn't catch up, I really don't know what to do after that.
"Do we need to destroy the spacecraft and let it land?" Ling Yiluo contacted me through the spiritual network when he fell on the spacecraft.
I also replied through the spiritual network: "Don't destroy the thrusters, you climb from outside to the bridge, and then find a way to get in and control the spacecraft and try to land smoothly."
"clear."
Hanging on the back of the spacecraft was a very dangerous thing, but Ling and the others all had superhuman power, so they naturally didn't have to worry about this, so they climbed out of the bridge like Spider-Man, like Spider-Man.
The people who were concentrating on the spaceship suddenly found a guy like Spider-Man hanging outside the transparent observation window, and more people were gradually climbing up from around. This shocked them.
The speed of the spacecraft is only twice the speed of sound. This speed is quite fast for civil aviation aircraft, but it is nothing for military aircraft. Moreover, the altitude of the spacecraft is already very low at this time, and the ground is hundreds of meters below. Where the spacecraft flies, the airflow will even break the big trees on the ground.
