Chapter 470: European farce, economic boom
Italy is a founding member of NATO and also a founding member of the European Union.
This means that Italy has the nuclear weapons deployed by North America under the NATO Nuclear Sharing Agreement, and also has the nuclear protection provided by France to the European Union.
It's like paying twice the money and recognizing two bosses.
If one boss doesn't like him, he can get close to another.
We can even rely on Europe's fourth largest economy to cooperate with Ice Bear, England, and Sanyuan Agriculture.
Therefore, it is not foolish for Italy to harass the Seventh Fleet and to fight the Fifth Fleet on equal terms.
He is sure that North America will not take him seriously.
And to be on the safe side, Italy formulated a detailed battle plan.
When encountering the Seventh Fleet, they surrendered first, and when rejected, they opened fire directly. When the Seventh Fleet arrived, they surrendered unconditionally again. North America would at most be angry and humiliated by this, but would still let them go and finally declare a 50-50 tie.
Facts have proved that Italy made the right bet in this complex international situation.
And the reason why this happened.
The first is to make clear one's attitude to the EU diehards: if there is any problem, I will really take action, and thereby gain more benefits from them.
The second is to make your attitude clear to North America: Boss, don’t hit me. If you hit me, I will surrender. Then, as the boss of NATO, you will be unable to back down.
The third is to show our weapons to the surrounding war-torn areas, such as the eastern coast of the Mediterranean and the North African Alliance, to show that I also have three series of missiles. If you dare to provoke me, I will give you a salvo.
Fourth, the world's Internet was disrupted some time ago. To be on the safe side, countries around the world took the opportunity to legislate and set up "walls".
The emergence of the "wall" can not only prevent hackers, reduce information warfare losses, and locate criminals, but also build an information cocoon.
In this way, the news of Italy's surrender will not appear on the world's Internet, at least not in Europe, Africa, West Asia, the East, and Southeast Asia.
On the contrary, the news that Italy opened fire on the Seventh Fleet and was evenly matched with the Fifth Fleet would be reported extensively by the European Union, three media outlets, etc.
Italians can see European information and log in to the Sanyuan Communication Network.
When they learned about the Asia-Pacific conflict and North America was at a disadvantage, and learned about the bravery of their own fleet, and then under the propaganda of Alessandro, the leader of the Democratic Socialist Party, they believed that as long as they broke through the North American blockade, their lives would be better...Then they will definitely agree with Alessandro's "weapons upgrade plan".
That means spending 200 tons of gold and 300 billion euros to purchase three types of weapons.
So that afternoon, Italy held an emergency meeting and passed Alessandro's proposal unanimously.
The latter even went straight to Sanyuan Heavy Industry that evening and went on a shopping spree.
···Let’s not talk about what Yidaili bought.
When Old Bu received the relevant news, he angrily slammed the table and cursed Pentagon: "They have already opened, what are you waiting for? Are you trying to promote their business?!"
The Pentagon was extremely terrified and made up its mind to demand from the EU members who surrendered upon hearing the news, ranging from 15 billion to 30 billion for stationing costs, and distributed arms procurement lists.
For example, a second-hand F16 costs 2 million US dollars each.
What? It’s five or six times more expensive than before. Why don’t you buy it?
You have betrayed the EU and offended me. Do you still want to live?The first countries to collapse were Ireland, Latvia and Lithuania.
The three brothers will go all out against the Ice Bear and deploy NATO missiles and anti-missile systems. If the EU does not help and North America ignores them, the three brothers will definitely be beaten up by the Ice Bear within two weeks.
Therefore, the three brothers gritted their teeth, each paid 20 billion US dollars, and purchased 30 second-hand F2013s, which were expected to be delivered in 16.
It can be said that the F16s currently in service in North America, unless there are any accidents, will belong to the three brothers after they are retired and refurbished.
Next are Poland, Belgium, Norway, Denmark...
Of course, what we are selling this time are not second-hand goods, and there are not that many second-hand goods.
The machine being sold is a stock machine and can be picked up directly.
Then Italy popped up again, "The F16 seems to be cheaper than the J11B pro max. Can I rent 30 of them? Delivery first, payment later."
After fighting in North America for a while, he earned nearly 100 billion US dollars in garrison expenses, plus 2000 billion US dollars in arms orders. He was in a particularly good mood. When he saw that his "old brother" had come to his senses and could make money, he immediately nodded and agreed.
Unexpectedly, on the second day after the signing of the contract, Italy handed over the delivery note of the F16 inventory to Sanyuan Heavy Industry, and commissioned the transformation of each aircraft into a high-performance F1200 at a handling fee of US$16 million.
Then he took the delivery note of Sanyuan Heavy Industry's high-performance F16 and went to the North American Pentagon: "Will you buy it? High performance!"
Old Bu was so angry that he yelled, "You are playing finance with me here?!"
"High performance, cheap, only $2 million each."
"Get lost, a brand new one made by a third-party company only costs 3000 million."
"Fuck, you know three?"
"I told you to get out!"
At this point, the Bush administration was particularly unfriendly to Italy.

The Athens Olympics in Greece came to an end.
The East leads by a huge margin in the number of gold medals, with the Hong Kong team accounting for two-thirds of the gold medals, surpassing North America, the Arctic, France and Japan, which all won in single digits.
In other words, Hong Kong should sign up for the events in which the United States and Japan are the favorites to win, and not compete with the East.
This has resulted in 'whether genetically optimized people are allowed to participate in natural human sports' becoming the hottest topic.
North America has had so many medals taken away from it, so it must support 'not allowed', otherwise no one except the East would have won a gold medal in 08.
The Chinese government was originally planning to support the "not allowed" option, but after seeing the attitude of North America, it immediately changed its mind. "Genetically optimized people are also people, why not allow it? Do you in North America have human rights?!"
North America:"···"
By this time, federal capital no longer dared to criticize genetically optimized humans.
Because in the past few years, major secret laboratories around the world, including official institutions, have made major breakthroughs in the field of genetics.
Including gene slow-release agents - effective in treating 80% of sexually transmitted diseases, gene resuscitation agents - alleviating the speed of myasthenia gravis and ALS, gene-optimized herbs - effectively enhancing physical fitness...And the existence of people who are highly suspected to be genetically optimized is no longer just black fat guys.
There are also the Indians of the Smith family, the sailors of the Tijuana Group, the ascetics of Southeast Asia, the wizards of Jamaica, the Red Devil Paratroopers of England, the ninjas of the Japanese islands, the natives of Africa...Moreover, the existence of the above has all been confirmed, and there are thick case records and intelligence materials.
No one knows how many such people are hidden in the social hierarchy.
If they are not human beings, the vote is one thing, but whether their lives can be saved is another.

Sanyuan Agriculture submitted an application to the North American Federation to "acquire North American Ocean Shipping Group."
The North American Ocean Shipping Group was founded by Wall Street capital, 32% of which are listed and tradable shares, 21% are owned by the Smith Consortium, 20% are held by Sanyuan Agriculture, 20% are held by the Tijuana Group, and the rest are invisible small shareholders, such as the California Consortium, NSA System, FBL System, and the North American Rifle Association, which were won over by Smith Sr.
Sanyuan Agriculture's acquisition of the 21% held by the Smith Consortium, if successful, will make Sanyuan Agriculture the largest shareholder of the North American Ocean Shipping Group and dominate 35% of the world's ocean shipping business.
The North American Foreign Investment Committee submitted a risk warning to the North American Congress, stating that the transaction posed a serious threat to North America's national security.
The next day, Bush issued a statement formally blocking Sanyuan Agriculture from acquiring North American Ocean Shipping Group.
The Shiliying Sub-district Office expressed dissatisfaction with this and decided to implement countermeasures and review American capital within the sub-district office.
9 month 18 number.
The Xiaobu government started talks with the Shiliying Sub-district Office.
After arguing for a morning, both sides decided to take a step back.
The Tijuana Group acquired the 11% stake held by the Smith Consortium, increasing its total equity to 31%, making it the largest shareholder of North American Ocean Shipping Group.
Sanyuan Agriculture acquired the 10% stake held by the Smith Consortium, increasing its total equity to 30%, becoming the second largest shareholder of North American Ocean Shipping Group.
The next day.
The North American Ocean Shipping Group held a shareholders' meeting in Oriental Hong Kong to elect a new board of directors and allocate shipping capacity in accordance with the three-US trade agreement.
That is, 35% of the ships serve Federal Capital, 30% of the ships serve Sanyuan Agriculture, and the rest are used to make money.

300 50-ton cargo ships of the North American Ocean Shipping Group arrived in the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa and began loading resources that had been stockpiled by 21 West African countries and Happy Farm for three years.
On the same day, 200 20-ton tankers of the North American Ocean Shipping Group arrived in the oil country and began to load the crude oil ordered by the Far East Trading Company in the past two years.
On the same day, 600 cargo ships of the Ocean Shipping Group ranging from 10 to 30 tons arrived in Southeast Asia and began to load refined rubber, processed food, and smelted metal materials from various countries in Southeast Asia.
In the Far East, including Vladivostok, Sakhalin Island, the Sea of Okhotsk, Kamchatka Peninsula, and Chukotka Peninsula, there are fishing boats, cargo ships, and oil tankers of the North American Ocean Shipping Group running around.
at the same time.
The East is operating at full capacity.
From early August to mid-September alone, more than 8 super-large factories were added in the East.
Types include machinery manufacturing, electronic manufacturing, food processing, wood processing, steel smelting, chemical raw materials, stationery and toys, biomedicine...
And they all have a complete industrial chain, from raw material procurement, to product processing, to shelf sales, and then to after-sales service.
At the same time, 2.7 new small and medium-sized factories were added. As a supplement to super-large factories, they mainly produce auxiliary products, such as accessories and wearing parts. The enterprises are highly flexible and can quickly adjust their business and adapt to market changes in the increasingly fierce international competition.
And there are 15 new family workshops, which serve as a supplement to small and medium-sized factories. They mainly rely on high precision and manual technology to produce key components or raw materials, customize key components or raw materials, and support the entire industrial system by training apprentices.
For example, there is a maternal principle in machinery. Any parts processing will inherit the error of 0.5 to 2 microns from the mother machine. A machine tool with an accuracy of ±5 microns will inevitably produce parts with a superimposed error of ±7 microns.
In other words, assuming that the error of machine tool A is ±5, use it to replicate an identical machine tool B. The error of machine tool B is ±7. Use machine tool B to continue replicating, and the error of machine tool C is ±9.
So getting a high-precision machine tool does not mean you get a more precise mechanism.
If you want to break this rule, you need to create higher precision manually. For example, you can hire a machine tool scraper to use a manual knife to remove the material that affects the machine tool precision little by little, so as to correct the machining error.
For example, you can hire a turbomachinery dynamic balancing technician to use his experience to determine the dynamic balance of high-speed rotating equipment such as steam turbines and centrifugal compressors, and then develop a counterweight plan based on the vibration source.
For example, hire a precision spindle repairer to use nano-level grinding technology to repair the spindle runout error of a machine tool.
Of course, not all of these workshops are so top-notch.
They just give you what you need, when you need it.
For example, if the discontinued electric fan at home breaks down and is missing a key component, and you are reluctant to throw the fan away, and the local repair shop cannot fix it, you log on to the Sanxi forum to ask for help, and they will appear.
For example, if you have a migraine and have been to many hospitals but the problem cannot be found, you will log in to the Sanxi Forum for help and they will appear.
This industrial structure of 'main - large factories, secondary - small and medium-sized factories, secondary - family workshops' has enabled all types of industries in the East to flourish and bear fruit at a very fast speed.
Furthermore, in this brief period of equilibrium, relying on the resources gathered from overseas, in the form of foreign trade, we can speed up the circulation of goods, speed up the flow of funds, shorten the interval between secondary production, accelerate the accumulation of experience, train more skilled workers, and give birth to more senior technicians.

Shaanxi, Yangling Agricultural High-tech Demonstration Zone.
Chang Fu drove a van on the newly paved asphalt road.
Yu Yang sat in the passenger seat, looking into the distance.
It is the harvest season for three-series corn, and the western countryside, which has not yet fully entered into mechanized agriculture, is already busy.
Men, women, young and old all joined in the work, some picking corn among the rows of corn, some carrying woven baskets to carry corn from the fields to the ridges for easy loading, some driving agricultural four-wheelers and driving harvesters, and then bundling the harvested corn stalks and waiting to be sent to the agricultural station for sale.
What is different from the past is that people have shed their traditional western farming attire and put on sun hats distributed free of charge by western companies for publicity, as well as long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and even shoes and socks printed with various product names.
Of course, there are also wealthy farmers who wear busy farming suits bought from the Western Shili Mall, including sun-protective clothing, sleeve masks to protect against cuts from corn leaves, and so on.
"This can be considered as a reflection of the improvement in mental outlook."
Yu Yang looked for a long time and a convoy appeared in front.
Two minibuses and five off-road jeeps.
At the door of one of the minibuses stood the factory secretary in charge.
Park at Changfu and transfer at Yuyang.
After a while.
The convoy arrived at Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University.
Compared with Dongshan Agricultural University five years ago, this place is much stronger and ranks third among agricultural and forestry universities in the country.
It’s just that it’s not yet Double First-Class, 985, 211, Strong Foundation Plan, 2011 Plan…"Director Yu, welcome!"
Sanyuan Agriculture has invested in the western region, and the chairman of Sanyuan Agriculture always has to show up.
Therefore, after putting on makeup in the car, Yu Yang got out of the car with an immortal look.
After exchanging pleasantries with the school leaders and others, everyone walked into the campus.
First understand the school's history, then understand the school's humanities, and then understand the school's majors...From this we can see that whether it is a school, a country, or the people, there must be history first, then humanities, and then professionalism.
Without history and humanities, the level would immediately drop several levels.
noon.
The school arranged a banquet.
After a delay, Yu Yang walked into the school cafeteria.
Thousands of students cheered when they saw the legendary "old immortal".
"Director Yu, can you show me a miracle?"
"Students, you must believe in science."
"Mr. Yu, is the fundamental reason for accelerating plant growth Taoism?"
"No, it promotes absorption and metabolism."
"Mr. Yu, what are your future career options?"
“Science and technology are the primary productive force.”
"Mr. Yu..."
The school leaders hurriedly stopped them, "Students, Director Yu needs to eat. After dinner, we will organize a symposium."
"Haven't you fasted yet?"
"···"
Wait until the afternoon.
The school did not want to miss the opportunity of Yu Sanyuan's visit and guidance, so it held a symposium for teachers and students in a relatively spacious laboratory.
The laboratory has been carefully arranged, with three cultivation devices imitating "basic farmland", a cloned sheep, a cloned pig, and more than a dozen animal organs soaked in formalin.
There are also seven or eight three-series all-in-one machines specifically used for agricultural research, with the screens displaying research data on seeds, plants, and animals.
Yu Yang took out the SY handheld game console and unlocked the permissions.
The next moment, Chang Fu, Chang Lu, the factory secretary, the accompanying secretary, and others around him, with the cameras they carried with them, including the student cards and off-site identity cards used by teachers and student representatives, transmitted everything in the laboratory to the Xintai Data Center through on-site filming and micro-radar scanning.
The latter receives the information and immediately makes an analysis.
Then it will be displayed on the boss’s special conference screen.
Yu Yang stared at the cloned sheep, silently reciting the 3D bird's-eye view in his mind, then adjusted to the sky garden - dedicated conference room - dedicated conference screen, and instantly saw the analysis report on the cloned sheep.
He pinched the cloned sheep's ears, muttered a few words about the touch, and then pried open the cloned sheep's mouth so that the camera could capture the mouth, teeth, and tongue.
The analysis report then gives the corresponding information.
Yu Yang gently shook off the dust and calculated with his fingers. "The lifespan of this cloned goat is no different from that of an ordinary goat. There is no such thing as a cloned animal having a shorter lifespan. The only drawback is that no DNA screening was performed before cloning, and the PAPSS2 gene that adapts to the plateau was not enhanced. As a result, this Cologne Tibetan goat is less resistant to cold, low oxygen, and strong ultraviolet rays than an ordinary Tibetan goat. And the key gene for domestication, MUC6..."
After that, he operated the computer, found the corresponding gene chain, and adjusted the relevant data according to the scientific research report on the conference screen. "We can do this."
Sanyuan Agriculture has long been a world leader in research in the field of genetics.
The scientific research report on the conference screen is information jointly provided by three groups of scientists.
After seeing it, the researchers from the school were astounded.
Yu Yang said without taking any credit, "This is the result of our scientists."
Afterwards, he studied and corrected the plant cultivation equipment, various animal organs, and scientific research data on the all-in-one machine one by one.
After all, every profession has its own specialties. Sanyuan Agriculture is not invincible, and the school also has its own unique features.
Wait until evening.
Both parties were happy.
Yu Yang chatted with teachers and students representatives.
The topics of conversation are nothing more than future development, future employment, future industrial forms...
For these things, you will definitely go no wrong by following Sanyuan Agriculture.
At last.
A student took out a 3G mobile phone and said, "Mr. Yu, I heard that people who practice Taoism are good at playing Go. Do you know?"
"Understood."
"Then can you play a game right now so we can learn from it?"
Yu Yang took the 3G phone, and the black and white pieces on it had already occupied one-third of the chessboard.
But it is not a dead end, nor is it a rare game that will be remembered forever. It is just a normal game between two parties.
Seeing people gathering around him, Yu Yang simply connected his mobile phone to the all-in-one machine, started up the shared software developed by Sanxi Technology specifically for 3G mobile phones, and then projected the image onto the large screen in the laboratory through a projector.
Then follow the prompts on the conference screen on the 3D bird's-eye view and make your moves quickly.
five minutes later.
The supercomputer at Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University suddenly increased its power consumption.
The conference screen in the 3D bird's-eye view also gives a prompt: Boss, we suspect that you are playing chess with your superior's AI.
"Then kill it and let the superiors see my profound cultivation."
Twenty minutes later.
Beijing Academy of Sciences.
Many researchers were stunned.
"This is unscientific. Humans have long been unable to defeat AI. How can Yu Sanyuan do this?"
"Is it possible that he is not a human at all?"
"hiss···"
