Chapter 1326 - The Divided Coalition Force (2/2)

After all, even Celestial Trade would not be able to fully mitigate the impact of EMP weapons…

“ESA has conducted a forensic investigation on whether the solar wind has pa.s.sed through the border on July 11th, and it has yet to find conclusive evidence to confirm…We have submitted the latest investigation progress to the European Union Commission, hoping to help the authorities.”

The European s.p.a.ce Agency’s hesitant statement reflected the conflicted position of the European Union.

They thought they were just going to South America with their ally to pick a guaranteed fight, but they didn’t expect to be dragged into such a big mess.

There were more than nine thousand prisoners of war.

Excluding Turks that made up half of the number, there were more than a hundred of them spread among each country.

And the families of the fallen soldiers…

The thought alone was devastating.

Differences were appearing in the European Union as to whether or not they should continue to be involved in this war.

The strong stance of Celestial Trade on the South American issue had already far exceeded their expectations…

As for the UA, they still chose to remain tough.

The Capitol Spokesperson made a statement immediately and took aim at Celestial Trade with NASA’s report.

“NASA has not observed an active solar wind and is investigating the matter further. At the same time, we are shocked and angry at what happened in Colombia. I warn certain rogue organizations not to take chances and try to use natural phenomena to confuse the audience, if the disaster that happened last night turns out to be a self-directed farce, they will pay the price for their careless behavior!”

Investigation?

It was impossible to investigate.

The solar wind is a continuous phenomenon. Only when the two magnetic fields are in a state of “magnetically reconnection” will it cause the Earth’s magnetic field protection barrier to create a “gap”, thus causing the solar wind to affect the surface. This gap opens and closes at all times, and the size and position of the opening are not fixed, and it is also related to the magnitude of the solar eruption.

With the dependency of many variables, the impact may be serious or minimal. For example, in 1991, the gust of solar wind almost blew up the nuclear power plant in Maine, but in 2010 it only produced quite a spectacular aurora over the United Kingdom.

But the Capitol’s statement made Jiang Chen a little relieved. The strength and advantage of Celestial Trade finally made the ruler of the old world a little hesitant in its actions.

If this happened ten years ago, the UA’s aircraft carrier battle groups would have long entered Xin’s water to investigate “weapons of ma.s.s destruction”. Why would they still debate whether it was a solar wind or EMP that caused the incident?

As for whether the infuriated NATO would launch a full-scale war on Celestial Trade, Jiang Chen was not worried at all.

The EMP launched in Colombia was also a deterrence to NATO.

Many different opinions existed on the area coverage of the wide-area EMP strike. The opinions included how destructive the electromagnetic pulse warhead carried by the Peacemaker was and what was its deterrence capability? How does it compare with nuclear missiles?

And now, Celestial Trade directly used its fist to tell NATO the power of this weapon.

It was very, very, very powerful…
