Chapter 743 Arrival in Mogadishu

"Buzzing..." In the blue sky, a beeping engine sound broke the calm. Two yellow and black Golden Eagle attack aircraft flew over the city of Bupella from the sea at a height of 2,000 meters and swept farther to the south.

During this period, the residents of Berbera, the largest port city in the north, have long been used to several antique planes flying overhead every few days. If it hadn't been for the golden eagle pattern printed on it, many people would have thought that it was a folk hobby group flying here.

The 'abnormal phenomenon' over Berbera has attracted the attention of many people, including James, the head of the CIA in Somalia. Li.

Now all the intelligence agencies of the world know that Somalia is developing and equipping an old-fashioned piston propeller aircraft from World War II. From the twin-engine and the thick armor observed, it can be seen that this is a bomber used for ground attacks.

Propeller aircraft still occupies a very important position in modern aviation, and its low-speed efficiency ratio still plays an important role in many fields, such as civil aviation, agriculture, etc. But in military terms, the use of piston propeller aircraft will have an explanation for those who know a little about the development of the modern air force: it is vulnerable.

With the development of guidance technology and missile technology, those flying in the sky, those running on the ground and swimming in the water are greatly 'existential threat'. If you don't want to disappear in the long river, you must 'evolve' to be a more survival feature like the theory of evolution of nature. The speed limit of the propeller aircraft has made this aircraft gradually withdraw from the military front line. Because of the existing technology, it is difficult to solve this problem. If it cannot be solved from the biggest shortcoming of the propeller aircraft, you need to find other ways, but the development of stealth technology and anti-missile technology is immature. Under the existing technology, this is undoubtedly a fool's dream, or it can solve these problems and improve the battlefield survival ability of propeller aircraft, which is also too expensive and unrealistic.

However, under the rules of the international aviation industry, which has been basically fixed for decades, Somalia will certainly arouse the interest of many countries.

If the propeller solves the problem of low survivability in the battlefield, it cannot be denied that it is still a very practical military weapon.

Low cost, which is the main advantage of propeller aircraft and modern jet aircraft. Even if a propeller aircraft is partially modernized and modified, when its combat use is transferred from air and anti-submarine fields that collect high-tech requirements such as air and anti-submarine, the cost of an aircraft is far lower than that of a jet aircraft, less than One-tenth of it is even lower. Secondly, propeller aircraft do not have high requirements for pilots. The Air Force is undoubtedly also a technical service. It takes five years or more for countries to train a qualified pilot to train a qualified pilot. With the development of aviation technology, the quality of pilots is higher, which leads to the development of the Air Force. With the development of large technology and small scale, it is impossible for hundreds of thousands of aircraft to fight together as in World War II. A country, even the United States, cannot maintain the size of the air force of tens of thousands of aircraft.

The emergence of multi-purpose aircraft also follows this law of development. Strengthen the scientific and technological integration of aircraft, reduce the scale of deployment, achieve the versatility of one aircraft, complete more tactical uses, reduce maintenance costs, and reduce logistical pressure.

But the development of technology is not achieved overnight, and there is a development process. Modern multi-purpose aircraft have not yet met the ability to apply the tactical requirements used. In some areas with extremely high tactical requirements, it is necessary to maintain an exclusive aircraft.

And the propeller aircraft, if it can improve its survivability in the ground attack, it is undoubtedly an excellent attack aircraft. Especially for those countries with weak national strength, it is undoubtedly very cost-effective to get an air suppression strike force with relatively little military expenditure.

Or with these purposes, propeller planes that often appear in the Port of Berbera during this period have become the focus of attention of national intelligence agencies. They are secretly using all technical means to explore this 'mysterious propeller plane', so that they can master the detailed energy parameters of this aircraft, and whether they have really used some new technology to improve the survival ability of the propeller plane battlefield.

James? Li received a domestic order and also took a small but capable intelligence officer lurking in Papera.

After a week of observation, they found that the propeller plane would go to sea every two days, seemingly carrying out offshore patrol missions. Judging from the ground observation, this kind of propeller aircraft is not equipped with anti-submarine weapons, so what is the purpose of the coast patrol?

Secondly, James found that these propeller planes in Somalia did not print parts of the same aircraft with the same number as in a certain country to confuse foreign intelligence forces. Through the observation and analysis of these aircraft numbers, James's intelligence team came to a conclusion that at present, Somalia The army is equipped with about 50 aircraft, which are currently stationed at the air base on the outskirts of Hargeisa.

Finally, on the ground, James can easily observe the abdomen of the plane through a high-power telescope. This is a place that is difficult for reconnaissance satellites to find. The secrets of some aircraft may be here. And the fact is, as James thought, under the nose of this propeller plane, he observed a vague small door similar to a car refueling port.

In a relatively blurry photo, James observed carefully. When he saw this photo, his first reaction was that this was the aircraft refueling tube, which was just shrinkable. This is not an advanced technology. The new generation of aircraft deployed by various countries, as long as it has air refueling capabilities, has such parts. It's just that the plane's refueling pipe is above the nose, but here is below, so James vaguely felt that things were not as simple as he thought.

From the complete photos of this kind of aircraft, James can't find any other puzzling places. Except for the weapon racks that have been seen under the abdomen of the plane, it is no different from ordinary propeller planes. Therefore, James believes that if this kind of plane really has a secret, then the part similar to the refueling tube under the nose must be the key.

But he can't get close to an aircraft, so it is impossible to observe and study at close range, which makes it impossible for him to provide more information about the secret of this aircraft to the US [***] team. In the event of a war between the United States and Somalia, this unknown weapon is likely to give the United States The country has brought some trouble.

Yes, in James's idea, this kind of propeller plane just caused some trouble to American soldiers. The United States has a strong air force. No matter what kind of card these aircraft have, they can't escape the blow of the U.S. Air Force.

That being said, as a senior intelligence officer, if he can't figure out the details and trump card of the 'enemy', he will be dereliction of duty. He can't help but be recalled to the country like Waterloo in Somalia and his predecessor.

"If only I could get a plane!" James? Li whispered, with a strange light shining in his eyes.

......

At Mogadishu International Airport, a plane circled and landed slowly. After the door was opened, the passengers came down in twos and threes.

At the moment Suzuki walked out of the hatch, he couldn't help frowning, because a dry hot wind blew in outside, which made him feel uncomfortable when he was still in this spring more than ten hours ago.

Two expressionless men stood in his identity. Each of them was carrying a box in their hands and looked at them carefully. They could not see that the two seemingly bodyguards were the two black bodyguards who had brought Suzuki Tobuan into the old district. The only difference now is that the two are wearing white shirts and not black suits.

Walking out of the airport, one of the bodyguards picked up the phone and dialed a number, and soon a black Toyota stopped in front of several people. The three got into the car and went straight to the Crown Hotel, where someone had already ordered a room. Entering the president's suite with the right temperature, Ayuo Suzuki loosened his tie and looked around before he was stunned.

It is worthy of being the powerful figure of Japan. Everything has been ready for a long time, and his main task this time is to contact Li Mo and convey the goodwill of Japan with the identity of having a "origion" with Li Mo.

Although Ayuo Suzuki enjoys this kind of life of food, clothing, housing and transportation, he always warns himself in his heart that he has not completed the task, and everything in front of him is still illusory. Only when he completes the task will the big man give him wealth and status and truly enjoy all this for a long time.

"Xiao Tianjun, when are we going to meet Li Mo?" Ayuo Suzuki took a short break and asked one of the bodyguards. He knew that although he was only a bodyguard, he represented the big man and had the power to decide among them.

The man known as Mr. Xiaotian is about thirty-five or thirty-six years old and six years old. He is also tall among the big and ethnic groups. However, today's Xiaotian's stomach is a little bulged. It can be seen that this person's identity is no longer a pure bodyguard. He is similar to the body of a little housekeeper in Murakami Mitsushao. It specializes in dealing with some external private affairs.

Oda glanced at Suzuki Ayuo with a blank face. He did not have a good impression of the gangster. He felt that it was easy for the master to send this person to deal with Li Mo. With Li Mo's current status, Suzuki Ayuo was not qualified to deal with him at all, but everything was the master. As determined, Xiaotian only has the obligation to fulfill conscientiously.

"After we come, our ambassador to Somalia will send an invitation to Li Mo to meet, and we will inform you at that time. You are now remembering the matters ordered by the master. Don't mess it up, otherwise..." The cold light in Xiaotian's eyes made Suzuki's heart tremble and nodded repeatedly to make sure.
