Chapter 442 Air Strike

The rapid speed and decisive action of Somalia's temporary political axe surprised countless observers. Is Somalia's temporary political axe blessed by God or Allah? Why do those unyticed local leaders in Somalia seem to be very obedient as if they were cursed?

From the press conference of the temporary political axe in Somalia to the three armies of Baidoa, it took only more than a day, and the outside world has not yet reacted. Somalia's largest '[***] armed' La Hanwen Resistance Army has been surrounded by the 'Political Axe Army'.

Although countries on the African continent have two different voices, most of them support Somalia's temporary political axe to use force to eliminate the last point of instability in Somalia. Completely change Somalia from a fragmented situation.

Outside Africa, the forces of major countries are naturally paying attention to the shocking scene that happened here. Some national forces that understand the "master" behind the La Hanwen Resistance Army have shown a good attitude. They are also looking forward to seeing how the United States can help the La Hanwin Resistance Army under their control resolve the current crisis. Use the powerful military power of the United States? Indeed, if the United States is really determined to use force immediately, it can use its painstaking global rapid response capabilities to provide military support to the resistance with the fighters on the Nimitz aircraft carrier Nimitz and cruise missiles equipped by the Fifth Fleet before it is destroyed. It can even directly use its long-range bombers to carry out carpet bombing of Somali 'fast counter-forces' assembled in three locations.

Unless Americans are crazy, this behavior will never be realized. If you can interfere in the internal affairs of other countries so casually and explicitly support the [***] armed confrontation of a country against the political axe, won't the world be in chaos?

The United States is the only superpower in the world. It can be said to be the real hegemon. Its national interests are closely intertwined with the whole world. Therefore, for those events that do not seriously endanger the interests of the United States, at most, exert diplomatic pressure, or influence warnings through other political and economic means. If you interfere in the internal affairs of other countries at will, and the way of interference is direct military action. That will inevitably cause the dissatisfaction of all countries; the previous wars launched by the United States were carried out many times of 'propaganda' before, leading the situation to the point that it had to be solved by the means of war. At that time, even if other countries were dissatisfied, it would not make people feel too abrupt, and there was a preparation in their hearts. Cheng. Most importantly, in these local wars, the United States always has a reason to 'see through'. It can be said that the United States is most willing to see the current global peace environment. Although there are still fierce armed conflicts in some regions, they are all within control. But once the United States breaks this rule first and launches a direct military attack on other countries without any reason, then other countries in the world are bound to learn from it. As long as they are strong, they do not care about the constraints of the so-called United Nations and other international treaty organizations. In this way, the world will return to the war-tled period at the beginning of the last century. At that time, even if the U.S. military strategy wins, its political and economic strategy will completely fail.

The situation in Somalia has suddenly changed. Other countries, including the United States, have no time to prepare, and a new round of civil war is about to break out in Somalia.

On the same day, U.S. President George W. Bush called President You Sufu. In the phone, George W. Bush repeatedly expressed his concern about the situation in East Africa. He hoped that Somalia would try his best to solve domestic contradictions through peaceful negotiations and not to start the war easily. He also pointed out many times that the major countries in the world are now. According to the General Assembly meeting and the latest resolutions of the Security Council, it is the current priority to crack down on pirates in the waters of the Gulf of Aden. It is hoped that Somalia can provide necessary help in the fight against Pirates in the Gulf of Aden in accordance with the resolutions of the Security Council... After the United States quickly made its voice on this matter, the world powers and relevant Africa, Afghanistan The Rabe countries also issued statements one after another. Although the attitude of all countries is more or less hoping to solve domestic contradictions in a peaceful way. But everyone can still see that except for a few countries that follow the United States, the attitude of most other countries is not obvious and very formulaic.

Just as Huaxia also made a statement on this matter: to ease, not to be nervous, to be peaceful, not to war. However, in private, he told Li Mo through Lei Zhen that he hoped that Li Mo could solve the problems in Somalia as soon as possible and get the position of Chief of the General Staff of the Somali National Defense Force. If necessary, Huaxia will provide necessary help.

Under the various attitudes and remarks of the outside world, and under the gaze of the outside world. Somalia's temporary government axe code-named 'restoring peace' finally began.

However, to the surprise of the outside world, it was the first shot of the military attack on the resistance, but it was not the first shot by an attacking force.

At noon on October 11, Baidoa, Somalia's third largest city, was still as prosperous as before. However, in the streets and alleys of Baidoa and at key intersections, there is a team of armed soldiers patrolling back and forth, bringing a trace of tension to this peaceful city.

"Wow..."

Most of the citizens of Baidoa were having lunch when they suddenly heard an alarm in their ears. Some careful people quickly heard that the six-second alert was an air raid alert. After six seconds, the air defense alarm was sounded again.

After a while of silence, the whole Baidoa immediately became confused. All the citizens on the street flocked to their homes or nearby places where they could hide. When a freelance photographer saw this scene, he immediately took a few photos with the camera in his hand. The panic on the face of the citizens of Baidoa on one photo was revealed. Unexpectedly, the photographer also won the Holland Award for this temporary photo, becoming the best news photo of the year.

Just finished a big lunch, according to the usual habit, Gabiyu is planning to take a shower. Suddenly, he heard the air raid alarm outside in his ear, and Gabyo was stunned for a while. Baidoa has an air defense radar station, which was specially set up in Baidoa more than a decade ago to prepare for the Ethiopian Air Force. Now more than ten years have passed, after several maintenances of the La Hanwen Resistance Army, it is now not working well. In his memory, this air defense alert will only be sounded on July 1 every year on Somalia's National Day for a while. The rest of the time is basically a decoration. Because in Somalia, there is no decent air force at all. The air-to-air search radar is often turned off. However, the situation in Somalia suddenly became tense a few days ago, and it was very unfavorable to the resistance. Gabyo has been inspecting the army everywhere in the past two days, and yesterday it seems that he undoubtedly mentioned a sentence to guard against the helicopter attack of the Paramin cooking army. The officer in charge of the radar station must have turned on the radar. So is today's air defense alarm because it found the enemy's plane, or is it a joke that there is no bird in the end like before?

But the sad alarm sound in my ear again and again, undoubtedly he hesitated whether to take a shower first or go out to see Gabyu, who made a decision: find someone to ask first!

"Come on, guard!" Gabyu endured the sticky uncomfortable feeling on her body and shouted at the outside.

Soon, the door was pushed open, and the captain of the guard who had been faithfully guarding here strode in.

"What's going on outside? Has the enemy come? Gabyo stopped the captain of the guard and asked directly. He is eager to take a shower now, but he is worried about the noise outside. At this time, he didn't want to delay at all, and he even showed impatience in his tone.

"Chairman of the report, according to the news from the radar station, they found several planes flying in the southeast, and after comparative analysis, they thought that it was very likely to be the Air Force fighter of the Paraming Cooking Army." As soon as the captain of the guard saw Gabyo's expression, he quickly stopped the salute and reported the situation outside. Even if Gabyo didn't call him just now, he was ready to come in and report. But it certainly won't be at this time, because he knows that President Gabyou takes a bath for half an hour every day. He had planned to come in half an hour to report.

"Are you sure it's a fighter? Not a helicopter?" Gabyo asked with wide eyes. The news that the Palamin cooking army has fighter jets has been circulating among Somali forces. Although many people say that they have seen fighter planes flying in the sky in Lower Juba. But most of the power leaders still don't believe this 'rumor'. For non-political armed forces, it is not difficult to get a few armed helicopters, as long as they have money. But fighter jets are different, not to mention that their prices are often several times higher than those of ordinary helicopters. Even the site facilities are problems that many forces can't solve. Others, such as maintenance, are much more cumbersome than helicopters. And in practical application, fighter jets are even worse than helicopter gunships. So no non-political axe armed force pays a lot of money to buy a 'unpractical' weapon like a fighter.

"Chairman, the radar station observed that the incoming aircraft flew at an altitude of about 9,000 meters, and the helicopter could not fly so high at all. So if there is no monitoring error in the radar this time, it must be a fighter or other aircraft, not a helicopter. The captain of the guard replied in an uncertain tone. He also knew what the radar in the radar station was and often had problems, so he didn't believe the news himself.

"Chairman, it's a little chaotic outside because of the air raid alarm. For your safety, I think you'd better stay in the basement for a while. You won't come out until you confirm the authenticity of the information. Although the captain of the escort was not sure whether it was really an enemy air strike, he still put forward his own opinions faithfully.

Gabiyu thought for a while and felt that his safety was the most important thing. On the way to the basement, Gabius secretly decided. If the information is wrong this time. There was no enemy air attack, and he would definitely remove and shoot the officer in charge of the radar station.

"Ky, here we are. Everyone is going to test the training results during this period today. I hope you don't let the boss down. Now I order to lower the flight altitude...3000...target the southern barracks of Baidoa...the attack begins!" With the order of flight coach Assad in the airborne communicator, six MiG 23es with four rocket launchers roared towards the target.
