Chapter 391 The Problem of imitating infantry fighting vehicles

After the implied threatening words came out, Kate, the representative of the United States, suddenly regretted it. He didn't even know why he said the threat in his heart directly just now.

It's all because of the damn British representative's 'betrayal' and several other representatives's 'inconcentricity'. Don't they know how important it is to send peacekeeping troops to Somalia for the interests of the United States in East Africa?

I noticed that what he said just now made the other representatives in the conference room look different, but looking at him was full of sarcasm and ridicule. If his words threaten a third-rate country or even a second-class country, as long as he doesn't encounter the kind of 'hard bone' that would rather be broken than complete, it may still work, but what is the country represented by the representatives in the conference room? It is one of the most powerful countries in the world today. How can they easily compromise with the threat of the United States? This is related to the reputation of a big country. The French representative, who was still indifferent, immediately made up his mind to oppose the dispatch of peacekeeping troops to Somalia. After the meeting, he also planned to propose to the domestic government that France would refuse to participate even if the United States would use NATO's military forces despite the opposition of the Security Council.

"Hehe, in fact, I'm talking about sending a fleet to Somalia, which is not a threat to some forces. However, China feels that piracy is currently prevalent in Somalia, posing a great threat to maritime trade and transportation. Therefore, I intend to propose that all capable countries set up a multinational naval escort formation to fight against pirates in the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea region. I wonder if countries plan to work with our country to deter pirates in the Indian Ocean by force? Kate, the representative of the United States, quickly reacted in her mind and immediately said. There is no mention of sending peacekeeping troops to Somalia. By now, he has understood that in this interim Security Council, the proposal of the United States can no longer be passed. He is going to have a separate contact with the representatives of Britain and France to discuss this matter after the meeting. Let the two countries stand on the side of the United States. And the fight against pirates in Somali waters is just a casual word to look away. Now Somali pirates are far from as rampant as later generations. Relying on a few fishing boats, these pirates can also rob boats in offshore areas. I dare not think about the cargo ship and oil tankers sailing on the high seas route.

However, Kate didn't expect that it was his "rann casual words" that changed the topic that aroused the interest of the other four representatives present. Send warships to escort cargo ships and guard the Suez Canal, the main maritime transportation line of various countries. But it's a good thing to kill many birds with one stone.

This move can not only protect the safety of the crew property of various countries on the Suez Canal, but also expand its influence in this region.

Bismarck once said that the truth is within the range of the cannon. In the 19th and 20th centuries and even today's 21st century, countless disputes have proved this. If the domestic fleet can be escorted in the Indian Ocean, it can not only make the escorted ship countries appreciate the existence of the fleet, but also increase the support of the people of the political axe.

No matter which country, organization or individual you are, if you are at sea, you can often see 'dignified and heavily armed' naval warships coming and going, will you be deeply impressed by these naval countries? The deterrent power of the navy is sometimes greater than that of the air force. After all, the air force is flying in the sky, and the naked eye is too small to even see. And what should be the visual impact of tens of millions of tons of huge warships?

Referring to the United States, many people's first impression is not that the economy is developed, the army is strong, or the air force across the sky, but the aircraft carrier formation. Only those who have seen the aircraft carrier formation will mention the huge warships in their first impression when they mention the United States.

So the representatives of the four countries are very interested in sending an escort fleet to the Gulf of Aden proposed by the representative of the United States. In the era of no war, what is more appropriate for naval training than armed escort thousands of miles away?

Wang Yaming, the representative of China, and Moros, the representative of Russia, recognized the proposal in their hearts as soon as possible. However, this idea can't be so simply agreed, and it involves all aspects. At the very least, the joint formation of the escort formation is not something that these representatives can agree to. It also needs to be reported to China.

Next, the representatives of the four countries also forgot the threat of the representatives of the United States and directly discussed the feasible surname of the matter at the meeting. Kate, the representative of the United States, breathed a sigh of relief and regret. After all, his task today has not been completed.

... Two F-5E fighters of the Kenyan Air Force crossed the Soken border from an altitude of 11,000 meters with a faint tail flame. This is the third time that the Kenyan Air Force has sent fighters across the border after the defeat in the first battle to show off the area controlled by the Paraming Cook Army.

Paraming's army, which could not pose a threat to such a high-altitude target, had to watch Kenyan planes 'patrol' on their heads, and had no choice.

In order to prevent possible air strikes by the Kenyan Air Force, the main towns in the Paraming Army-controlled area have implemented light control. And the armed stations of the Ming Cook Army have also made the necessary disguises. I don't know if it's because the Kenyan army has not assembled, and the Kenyan air force has not dropped a bomb on the Mingzhu Army-controlled area so far. However, this kind of behavior of "gloring power" on the top of the head every day is still a big blow to the morale of Mingzhu's army.

Fortunately, the senior management of the Mingzhu Army had been prepared for a long time, and began to carry out 'political propaganda' against the soldiers at this time; instilling how "inhumane and shameless" the Kenyan army was. They regarded the Somali people as human beings and shot their fellow Somali refugees at will. Some of these 'propaganda' are real, and some are... half-true and half-false emotional incitement, which makes the Palamin cooking army full of anger against Kenya from top to bottom. The aggrieved mood is brewing in the bottom of my heart. Waiting to explode together on the battlefield.

But such a passive 'beaten' situation is definitely not what Li Mo wants. Before countering the Kenyan Air Force, the Palamin cooking army had a sharp sword on its head. This is absolutely fatal to the pressure on the Mingzhu army. Therefore, the air gap between Kenya and the Mingzhu Army must be offset.

At present, there are only some portable anti-aircraft missiles in the hands of Mingzhu Army. It is okay to deal with low-altitude targets, but the only way to deal with high-altitude flying fighters is to stare.

Don't think about surface-to-air missiles in the true sense. At present, the Star Organization can't afford that thing. Even if it is affordable, it is difficult to get a good surface-to-air missile in a short period of time. In order to reverse this unfavorable situation, Li Mo once again targeted the unassembled fighters in the base.

Six MiG 23 and six MiG 25, Li Mo decided to use MiG 23 against their surnames. In terms of data, whether it is MiG 23 or MiG 25. It has advantages over F-5E. Because the F-5 fighter is at the same level as the MiG-21, of course, the specifics cannot be calculated like this. After all, the models are different, and the electronic equipment, airborne weapons, etc. in the aircraft are different. However, the F-5 is only a light fighter, and the MiG-23 and MiG-25 are heavy fighters, of which the MiG-23 is the first generation of single-aircraft fighter of the former Soviet Union, and the MiG-25 is a high-altitude high-speed interceptor on both sides. The difference between the two is similar to that of an F-16 fighter and an F-15 fighter.

Come to a research laboratory located in the hinterland of Camel Mountain, which is currently the place where the expert group works. Li Mo found the expert group leader Abik.

"How's your research going? Can our base produce it?" Li Mo knew that during this period, the members of the expert group focused on imitating the 92-wheeled infantry fighting vehicle from China.

"Boss, I have to tell you some regrettable news. According to our analysis, although its surname is excellent, it is not suitable for us to use here. If you want to imitate it completely according to the data you brought, the driver of this infantry fighting vehicle must wear heat-proof clothing!" Abik pointed to a model of a small Type 92 infantry fighting vehicle indoors and explained to Li Mo.

"You see, the power compartment of this kind of chariot is in the middle left, which is here. It is located behind the driver, and there is only a layer of steel plate in the middle. The heat and noise emitted by the engine will affect the personnel inside the whole chariot..."

At this time, Li Mo also understood that the heat and noise inside the Type 92 infantry fighting vehicle were very loud. If it was used in a hot area like Africa, it would be a great test for the soldiers. Although Africans are much more resistant to high temperatures than people in other regions, if they work in this kind of chamuch for a long time, the whole person's energy will be consumed very quickly. It is not conducive to long-term combat.

He was very disappointed. Li Mo didn't expect that the 92 infantry fighting vehicles that consumed spiritual perspective from China and exchanged information would have such a big defect.

"Boss, although this kind of chariot is not suitable for us, it is not impossible for us to make some improvements. We can put the engine on the right side in accordance with international practice. On the left is the cockpit. Put the position of the captain in the back and merge it with the battle module. Although it is more difficult to make than the original design, it can make up for the threat posed by the high temperature of the engine..."

"Can we improve it with our existing conditions?" Li Mo grabbed Abig's shoulder with great joy and asked. You know, the Type 92 infantry fighting vehicle is Li Mo's first heavy weapon with power perspective. If it can't be imitated, it will be a big blow to him. The shortcomings pointed out by Abick before can't be imitated in Li Mo's eyes. After all, the design of a chariot took countless technical experts for many years to come to a conclusion. With insufficient technical support and equipment, it is basically impossible to improve it. What is lacking in the current star organization is technical strength and advanced equipment. But Abik told him that it could be partially improved under the conditions of the base. Why can't you surprise Li Mo?

"Okay! Your expert group will study the plan to improve the chariot. If you need any equipment, tell the expert and let him do it for you. If you can't buy it, even if you send someone to rob it, you will get it back. In order to ensure the imitation of the chariot, Li Mo could no longer care about anything else. Even the meteor commando is ready to rob.

Abik is also very happy to hear this. After all, for a real engineer, nothing makes them happier than being able to do research. Li Mo's promise is undoubtedly to fully support the chariot improvement plan. He thought to himself whether to bring up some other research equipment and let Li Mo find a way to get it?

Li Moke didn't know that Abick was crackling with a little calculation in his heart. At this time, he remembered his business.

"Yes, you put down your research during this period. Don't look at me like that. I'm not going to let you study. It's just that at present, we really need weapons to counter Kenyan fighters, so I want you to assemble the six MiG-23s in the warehouse and ask the pilot in your group to help train the pilots in the organization. After that, you can do this at ease!" Li Mo smiled and pointed to the model of the chariot and said.

"No problem, boss, as long as you give me enough manpower, I promise to assemble six fighters in three days." After listening to Li Mo's explanation, Abick put down the heart he had just mentioned. And a guarantee was made.

Hearing that it only takes three days to assemble, Li Mo couldn't help but 'love' these experts from Afghanistan more. Last time they said it would take half a month to a month to assemble 14 planes. Now it only takes three days for six aircraft. It seems that they didn't tell the truth last time. Li Mo understood that this probably had something to do with the fact that they just came to the organization, who were not familiar with everyone and did not want to talk too much.

Li Mo immediately called the expert and asked him to fully cooperate with Abic to assemble the fighter. He also sent a message to Luo Xiang, who was far away at the border, asking Luo Xiang to send six meteor members back to the base to prepare for fighter piloting.

"Hmm, Kenyan Air Force, you will be arrogant for a few more days. At that time, you will know that in the Lower Juba region of Somalia, not only on the land, but also the sky are our stars. I can't allow you to be presumptuous!" Li Mo, who came out of the secret research room, couldn't help looking at the sky fiercely.

On the morning of the 19th, a small-scale exchange of fire broke out again at the Sokken border. Two people from the 5th Regiment of the Palamin Cooking Army were killed and many others were injured. There were also many casualties of soldiers in an infantry battalion in the Eastern Military Region of Kenya. This is the first conflict since the end of the battle between the two sides on the 16th. Some people who have been following the Soken border conflict feel that this crossfire heralds the imminent outbreak of a larger war between the two sides.

At this time, the front page headline of the New York Times International published two huge pictures. In one of the photos, a heavily armed soldier is sitting on a tank, and behind the tank, more than a dozen tanks are stirring up dust. The whole photo shows the largest side of the tank, sprayed with the Kenyan flag, indicating the affiliation of the tank unit. A parallel to this photo is a photo of an armored force composed of multiple tanks driving at high speed on the Gobi. Each tank was sprayed with an eagle flag on a black background. The logo of the Palamin cooking army has also been known to the public through media reports for a long time.

Is this a tank battle? This is the first reaction of many people when they see the newspaper!
