July 12, 2020, this is definitely the most shameful day for NATO since its inception.

With the fall of the Bucaramanga military base, the Colombian government forces stationed in this area and the NATO coalition forces had to start a strategic retreat. However, when communications were completely interrupted, it was not easy to obtain first-hand intelligence either on the front line or in the rear.

Even after a certain unit stationed in the rear saw a friendly army withdrawn from the front line, the two sides had such a dialogue.

"Hey, which country's troops are you? Where are you going? Why can't we search for the command center's signals?"

"Italy XX Travel. Go to Port Barranquilla. Don't ask, we don't know why..."

"Then should we continue to stay here or retreat?"

"You ask me, who will I ask?"

The order to retreat was indeed issued. The carrier-based helicopters of the USS Ford aircraft carrier battle group were notified to each unit on the front in the most primitive way. However, due to the paralysis of the command system, this notification could only be accurate to the battalion level, and it could not be accurate to each person.

This leads to another situation.

Maybe the people from Company A received an order to hold on to a certain defense zone, but the B company, who was responsible for supporting behind the defense zone, received the order to retreat. When the people in charge of notifying Company A to retreat ran over, they found that the rebel guerrillas had come over. The two sides were fighting fiercely, and the people from Company A were still wondering where the people from Company B were going...

Looking down from the strategic map, NATO's defense line completely contracted to the Gulf Coast in just one day, which stopped its retreat and relocated its positions around the port of Barranquilla.

The NATO coalition re-established the command system. While issuing new equipment, it prepared a metal cover for each piece of equipment, and strictly required each soldier to keep all equipment in the metal cover during non-combat periods.

This is the most primitive method to fight against EMP strikes and the most effective method. The principle is probably the same as the steel wicket sent by the guerrillas to their own people. It builds a Faraday cage and blocks the entire electromagnetic field.

Nearly 100,000 troops were evacuated to Barranquilla, but less than 60,000 people were arrested and those who died in the firefight, some people may still be on the way, and may also withdraw to Bogota with the Colombian government forces.

The crushing defeat is no longer enough to describe the losses suffered by the NATO coalition.

While the repair team was busy repairing the equipment that had been removed from the front line, the FARC and the Moro Volunteers were not idle either.

NATO left a large amount of equipment and supplies in the military base in Bucaramanga. After taking these equipment and supplies, the Moro Volunteer Army and the FARC troops divided into two groups. The volunteers crossed mountains and ridges and marched northward, surrounding the NATO coalition forces on the Gulf Coast.

The FARC, in accordance with Jiang Chen's request, went south along the Andes, heading straight to the capital of Colombia, pushing Jimenes to the throne of president as soon as possible, and strive to end the war as soon as possible.

As FARC moves south, panic spreads in major developed cities in western Colombia.

Everyone knew that the rebels were coming, but they didn't know how many kilometers they were from them. In the past, they could see what happened on the front line through Twitter, but now they can't even open their phones.

In a modern society that is extremely dependent on the Internet, when even the most fundamental power is lost, it is not only the channels for obtaining information, but also the daily life is affected. The gates of supermarkets are crowded by panicked people, prices soar, and the supplies that should not have been scarce have become nervous without warning. The United Nations has to wipe the butt for NATO and begin to discuss whether to send people to the Columbus bill and Taoist rescue supplies.

Of course, the most panicked are the NATO countries.

The more modern the army is, the weaker the resistance when facing EMP strikes. Although countries have been committed to studying EMP and anti-EMP weapons and "anti-EMP" existing equipment, it has not been more than three years since the advent of EMP weapons, and it will take time to complete all of this.

The U.S. Department of Defense Advanced Programs may have gone a little further in this regard, but when facing this wide-area EMP strike, the efforts they have made still seem to be a drop in the bucket. Unless the entire army is thrown into an airtight iron box, it is impossible to completely avoid the impact of EMP.

After all, even Star Ring Trade can't do it by itself...

"The ESA has conducted an evidence-raising investigation on whether a solar wind crossed on July 11, and it is not possible to confirm it yet... We have submitted the latest investigation progress to the European Commission, hoping to help the authorities' judgment."

The European Space Agency's hesitant statement also reflects the EU's volatile position to some extent.

They originally thought they were just following their elder brother to South America to abuse a group of mobs, but they didn't expect to get into such a big trouble.

These are more than 9,000 prisoners of war.

Except for the Turks, which account for more than half of them, there are more than a hundred of them allocated to various countries.

And the families of the dead soldiers...

Just thinking about it makes people feel overwhelmed.

Whether this battle should continue to be fought has already been divided within the EU.

In particular, Star Ring Trade's performance in South America has far exceeded their expectations...

As for the United States, the wording is still as tough as ever.

A White House spokesman stood up immediately, holding NASA's report and targeting Star Ring Trade.

"NASA has not observed the active solar wind and is conducting further investigations. At the same time, we are shocked and angry at what happened in Colombia. I warn some rogue organizations not to take chances and try to confuse the public with natural phenomena. If the disaster that happened last night was proven to be a farce directed and acted by some people, they would pay the price for their uncautionary behavior!"

investigation?

This thing cannot be investigated at all.

Solar wind is a continuous phenomenon. Only when two magnetic fields have a "magnetic reconnection" phenomenon will it cause "slits" to the earth's magnetic field protection barrier, which will lead to the impact of solar wind on the surface. This gap opens and closes, and the scale and position of the opening are not fixed, which is also related to the magnitude of the solar erupting matter.

With the fluctuations of various variables, the impact may be serious or quite small. For example, the gust of wind almost blows up the Maine nuclear power plant in the United States in 1991 (now demolished), but by 2010, it only produced a very spectacular aurora over the UK.

However, the White House's statement made Jiang Chen feel a little relieved. The strength and strength of the Star Ring Trade ultimately made the old world overlord's behavior a little softer.

If it were more than ten years ago, I was afraid that the US aircraft carrier battle group would have reached the gate of the new country to investigate the "weapons of mass destruction"? How could I be confused about the issue of whether it is solar wind or EMP?

As for whether NATO will be angry and start a full-scale war against the Star Ring Trade, Jiang Chen is not worried at all.

The EMP launched to Colombia is not a shock to NATO.

Military analysts from all countries have different opinions on how wide-area EMP can cover the Star Ring trade, including how destructive the electromagnetic pulse warhead carried by the peace messenger? How much strategic deterrence is? How compared with nuclear bombs, etc.

Now, Star Ring Trade directly drew NATO with its fist, how destructive is this thing?
