An extreme ultraviolet lithography machine that was originally intended to be shipped to the beautiful country mysteriously disappeared in the Netherlands.
This incident soon caused an uproar internationally.
Can a behemoth be stolen quietly from the beautiful country and the Northern Alliance?
Simply unbelievable.
When reporters from the beautiful country asked this question at the regular press conference of the dragon country, they were despised by many media reporters from other countries.
"The beautiful country is blocking technology and suppressing the dragon country. This is something that the whole world knows. It is really disgusting to want to throw dirty water on the dragon country after losing something."
A reporter from a fighting nation looked at the reporter from the Times who was twisting his waist, with contempt on his face and muttered in a low voice.
"When problems arise internally, conflicts are transferred externally. This is the consistent style of beautiful countries. It is not uncommon." A reporter from a camel country chuckled softly.
"The extreme ultraviolet lithography machine is indeed the master of technology in the world. With thousands of suppliers all over the world behind it, it cannot be easily handled by any one country, even a country like Longguo with a mature industrial foundation.
Even a big country cannot break through the blockade in a short period of time." A reporter from Yiba Iron Country was quite worried.
"Other countries can purchase it through formal channels, but Longguo's desire to have one is tantamount to wishful thinking. This kind of rogue behavior is really disgusting."
"Who allowed the beautiful country to have military bases all over the world?"
"The world has been miserable and the country has been miserable for a long time!"
…
In the next few days, media reporters from Beautiful Country will try their best to transfer this conflict directly to Long Country at press conferences every day.
They wanted to use the pressure of public opinion to expose Long Guo's flaws and confirm their suspicions.
But the diplomats of the Dragon Kingdom follow the principle of "If you don't know, don't reply, the next one will come next."
Not giving the pretty country any chance at all.
Today's Dragon Kingdom is no longer the one that was at the mercy of others more than a hundred years ago.
Do you want to force the Dragon Kingdom to bow its head simply through diplomatic channels?
It's completely impossible now!
…
Kevin and Liu Li from Shanghai Magic City used various means to obtain a photo of a large military vehicle towing a container.
But just a photo doesn't prove anything.
Even if the container is just the right size to fit an extreme ultraviolet lithography machine.
That's no use either.
Everything depends on evidence.
A beautiful country can use its power to overwhelm others and launch a war against other countries with a bag of unfounded washing powder.
But it is absolutely impossible for them to use this method on Longguo.
Internally, the CIA named this incident the "722 Ghost Incident."
For a long period of time in the future, the beautiful country will mobilize countless agents and spies to search for relevant clues about this matter all over the world.
How to go missing?
How does it work?
How to land?
But in the end, there was still nothing.
It's really like a ghost committing a crime, not a single trace can be found.
…
It's not Xu Jie's turn to worry about matters at the national level.
When the Dragon Kingdom and the Beautiful Country were fighting again and again, he had already returned to the overseas island.
The emergence of the photolithography machine was an accident.
Xu Jie's main focus now is on the special training of Du Yan and Lu Junwu.
On this day, after Du Yan and Lu Junwu completed their daily combat training, Xu Jie took them to a jungle outside the base.
"Camouflage, concealment and lurking are the sniper's special skills."
"Before firing live ammunition with a sniper rifle, let me first see your concealment skills."
Xu Jie smiled and said:
"Within a quarter of an hour, use local materials and quickly disguise it."
"The first one I find will go to the beach and run twenty kilometers later."
"Why are you still standing there? What I just said was considered time."
"There are still 14 minutes left."
Before Xu Jie finished speaking, Du Yan and Lu Junwu had already swung into the jungle.
A quarter of an hour later.
Xu Jie walked leisurely in the jungle, like a retired cadre, taking his time.
The jungle is densely wooded and overgrown with weeds.
It is very simple to hide someone.
Xu Jie said he wanted to test the covert and lurking abilities of Du Yan and Lu Junwu, but that was not the case.
What he wanted to test more was the two people's determination and ability to resist interference.
Whether standing, squatting, or lying down, it is difficult for most people to maintain one posture for too long.
But as a ghost on the battlefield, the sniper's determination is not comparable to that of ordinary arms.
Sometimes he stays in the same position for half a day or even a whole day, just for a fleeting fatal blow.
In addition, there are many kinds of snakes, rats, insects and ants in the jungle.
What should you do if you encounter a venomous snake while hiding and lurking?
Can you bear the insects and ants crawling into your clothes?
These are all emergencies that test a sniper's concentration and anti-interference ability.
Most people can feel their scalp numb just by listening to it and thinking about such a scene.
But on the battlefield, once a sniper is exposed, he will often end up dead.
Half an hour, one hour, two hours.
In fact, Xu Jie had discovered the location of the two of them a long time ago, but he just passed them by and did not expose them.
It was not until three hours later that Xu Jie threw two stones and accurately hit their hiding place.
"Okay, get up."
Xu Jie smiled with satisfaction:
"Have a rest and let's go to the shooting range."
They made a ghillie suit out of leaves and weeds, and their faces and necks were covered with green plant juice. The two people, integrated with the surrounding links, got up from the ground in a whoosh.
"Teacher Xu, you obviously wanted to test our concentration and ability to resist interference, but you lied to us and said you wanted to test our ability to disguise."
Lu Junwu said aggrievedly while removing his disguise:
"Just now, a colorful venomous snake circled my neck several times. I almost lost my strength."
Xu Jie smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"You made it through, didn't you?"
"Du Yan, tell me, what is a sniper most afraid of encountering on the battlefield?"
Du Yan glanced at Lu Junwu.
He also encountered snakes, rats, insects and ants just now.
The ants in the jungle bite people really painfully.
If he hadn't applied some plant sap to prevent insects and ants in advance, he might have been exposed long ago.
After hearing Teacher Xu's question, he replied calmly:
"Complex geographical environment, harsh weather conditions, dangerous snakes and beasts, these are nothing."
"What a sniper fears most on the battlefield is when you open the scope and find that the sniper on the opposite side has already locked onto you."
Xu Jie smiled and nodded.
"Since I want to take you to practice sniper rifle today."
"Then do you know what is the record of sniper rifles annihilating enemies in actual combat in our Dragon Kingdom?"
When Lu Junwu heard Teacher Xu's question, he immediately became energetic.
He raised his right hand high, as if answering a question in class.
"Teacher Xu, I know this."
"Zhang Taofang, the sniper master of Shangganling, aims 800 meters away to take the enemy's head!"
