Chapter 917 Aisha Gaddafi

Colonel Anli's words were like pouring cold water on the head of the happy and proud deputy commander of Assad, which made him feel a little cold all over.

Yes, he just felt cold, because he deliberately or unintentionally ignored the economic strength of the National Defense Force or Li Mo.

Take the famous F-22 fighter as an example. The United States is so rich that it has only purchased less than 200 aircraft so far. Although the purchase price of the U.S. Air Force is more expensive than the cost price, and the price may be 200 million or even higher, the economic strength of the United States is very strong, and Somalia does not have it at all. There is a comparable surname.

In addition to the F-22 fighter, the United States has the world's largest air force. The F-15, F-16 and other advanced three generations of main fighters, but what about Somalia? Except for more than 20 Su-27SS, there are no advanced fighters, that is to say, the future main force of the Somali Air Force will be the 'Eagle' fighter.

But the unit price of nearly 150 million US dollars can definitely stop most countries. How many units can Li Mo purchase?

This is a problem that I don't want to face.

"According to the General Staff and the Air Force, Somalia needs at least two "Eagle" fighter squadrons to ensure the security of homeland air defense. If it is an attack, it also needs three squadrons." At this time, Major General Hussein, the Chief of General Staff, said again.

"Two squadrons?" Li Mo asked doubtfully, but he didn't know the data yet.

"Yes!" Hussein nodded and explained, "In the Iraq War, the United States used five aircraft carriers during the most political axes, plus the major air bases and allies in the surrounding areas. Once... I mean, once we have a conflict with Western countries and encounter military invasions, the enemy air force we will face is extremely huge. The squadron is just a conservative data. We haven't calculated the part of the strategic bomber's strategic duty.

Although Hussein's words are a little one-sided, after all, whether it was the Gulf War or the Iraq War, the strength shown by Iraq was not comparable to that of Somalia now. Although the ambitious Saddam was still hiding in the mountains to fight guerrilla warfare, no one could ignore the strength of Iraq led by him at the beginning. It is a bully in the Middle East.

According to the general reference, Somalia needs at least five squadrons of "Shenhawk" fighters. According to the general staffing of the existing air forces, the total number exceeds 100, and the funds needed is naturally more than 10 billion, and it is very close to 20 billion.

"We will not discuss the issue of funds for the time being. Let's go back to the topic and how to position the 'strategic air force'?" Li Mo felt that if he continued to entangle with the issue of funds, it would hurt the self-confidence of some people, so he changed the topic.

Chief of Staff Hussein came up with another report at this time, including the General Staff's thoughts on the 'Strategic Air Force'.

In the General Staff's plan, the future strategic air force is still part of the Somali Air Force and will not be regarded as a separate arms. However, under the framework of the strategic air force, it should be divided into two parts. One of them is the real strategic air force, or strategic bomber force, that is, carrying nuclear warheads to carry out strategic nuclear deterrence.

In the plan, the strategic air force should be divided into half of the aircraft into a squadron. These aircraft usually do not perform conventional combat missions, mainly stationed in several air bases across the country. They will work with the strategic missile regiment to form the strategic nuclear force of Somalia. . Here, there is another suggestion, that is, to gradually cancel the deployment of the Sky 1 missile in the strategic missile group, and the future Sky 1 missile will be developed into a medium- and long-range conventional strike force and no longer undertake the task of nuclear strike. Somalia's nuclear deterrent force is mainly composed of Sky 11 or longer-range missiles and Condor fighters.

In addition to aircraft performing strategic nuclear deterrence missions, other 'Shenhawk' fighters are a multi-purpose aircraft that performs a variety of combat missions, air control, bombing and even anti-ship and other combat missions. In the general reference plan, there is also a 'high and low match', but it is not the combination of Su-27 and MiG-29, but the combination of 'God Eagle' fighter and Su-27. In the future, the Su-27 and other 'regular fighters' will only perform some low-difficulty combat tasks, and all the difficult combat tasks will be handed over to the 'Shenhawk' fighters.

"Chief of Staff, according to the General Staff's plan, it does take at least five squadrons to meet the needs of the Somali Air Force, but what does it mean to increase the number of regular fighters' at the end?" Li Mo asked after looking at the general manager's plan.

"Commander, we think so. After all, the 'Shen Eagle' fighter is too advanced, and in ordinary combat missions, the 'Shenhawk' fighter is not as efficient as ordinary fighters precisely because it is too advanced. In terms of maintenance costs, this kind of aircraft is certainly more expensive than conventional fighters."

Hussein's explanation Li Mo is a little clear, that is to say, sometimes he doesn't need a cow knife to kill chickens, and let the 'God Eagle' fighters support some battles, which has a feeling of 'cannon hitting mosquitoes'. And when it comes to surname-price ratio and other considerations, the Somali Air Force still needs a certain scale of conventional fighters in the future.

"This is very important and practical, Assad, what do you think of the general reference plan? This is mainly about the air force, and your deputy commander's opinion is also very important. Li Mo nodded slightly and then looked at Assad and asked.

"Commander, I think the plan of the staff is very good. We just need to think about some details." Naturally, Assad has no objection, because when the plan was formulated, he consulted the Air Force, and there was a lot of content that was put forward by the Air Force.

Li Mo smiled and looked at several people and said, "It seems that everyone has seriously prepared for the strategic air force. This is very good. I won't say much here, but one thing you need to understand is that for us, the air force is the most important offensive group, and the 'Shenhawk' fighter has this. On the other hand, we have all the advantages that ordinary fighters do not have, such as ultra-high-high-speed, large range bomb load, so we need to consider how to give full play to the advantages. We do not invade others, but we should fight resolutely and without hesitation against those who infringe on our interests. Both the General Staff and the Air Force should make relevant plans and training. Americans can achieve the rapid response and delivery ability to attack any point in the world 24 hours a day. Our fighters can attack any point in the world in a few hours. This is our advantage, so everyone should be bolder and more open-minded. Don't treat us as weak, but not To be blindly arrogant, we need to maintain everything that belongs to us and not covet other people's things.

After Li Mo finished speaking, everyone here applauded one after another. If outsiders are here, they must have been hit by what they just said. These people here are completely hawks. Don't everyone know how to maintain world peace?

... In a well-defended castle on the northeastern outskirts of Mogadishu, a special guest came. She, the United Nations Goodwill Ambassador, is called 'Cindy' by the Western media. Crawford's Aisha? Gaddafi.

As the only daughter of Libyan leader Gaddafi, Aisha's surname is most like her father, so she is deeply loved. Aisha, who just got married last year, came to Somalia not for anything else, but for a special purpose.

Yang Xiaorou received Aisha as the owner of the castle, and Zhang Lixia, who had long been a 'friend' with Aisha, must have stayed at home.

The last time I attended Aisha's wedding, these women became friends. There are some objective reasons, but more of them are Aisha's deliberate friendship.

"Sister Aisha, I heard that after you got married, you went to the Sahara Desert for your honeymoon?" Liu Wei, who gradually recovered from her father's disappearance, became cheerful again. After seeing Aisha, she mentioned a problem.

Aisha is dressed in fashion, but it is all white, with a layer of gauze on her head, which looks more 'alternative'.

Aisha smiled at Liu Wei's question and said, "Yes, six of us, four bodyguards, crossed the Sahara Desert together."

"Wow..." All four girls showed a look of surprise and envy. For other people's honeymoon, they choose the kind of place with beautiful scenery and strong natural atmosphere, at least a place with a suitable environment, and the place chosen by Aisha for their honeymoon is very special.

Then several girls asked questions such as 'Is it hot in the desert' and 'Is there a beast', which made Yang Xiaorou beside her very funny.

And Aisha answered every question carefully and seemed very patient.

"If you want, I can take you there. There are many dangers in the desert, but they are also very exciting." Aisha said with a smile.

The four women didn't talk as soon as they heard it. Although they were envious, they were not necessarily willing to suffer. Because the weather in Somalia is relatively hot, it looks the same in some wilderness areas, and the desert must be worse. I'm afraid their delicate bodies can't stand it, but they don't want to suffer.

This can see the difference between Aisha, who grew up in this environment, and the four women who grew up in China.

"But our country is a little chaotic now, and now is not a good time to explore." Aisha continued.

Hearing this sentence, Yang Xiaorou frowned slightly. She usually read some current news and knew that the Libyan opposition was very fierce, which had nothing to do with her, but Aisha said this here, which made her think more complicated.

However, next, Aisha is to talk to everyone about some women's topics. Compared with Aisha, who has rich experience, the four women look much more immature, so Aisha's words can always arouse the curiosity and interest of the four women. From the beginning to the end, Aisha firmly grasped the initiative.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it's a pity that the stars can't go home. In the evening, I went out with my friends for a while. After drinking some wine, I was still dizzy, so I updated late and apologized to the book friends again.
