Chapter 762 Missile Base
Above the wilderness, a simple earthy road is interspersed.
This is a sparsely populated area in the north of Gaalgudude, and this simple road is the shortest shortcut to Mudug, another state in the north.
However, because the area to be crossed by this highway is in the wilderness, sparsely populated, and close to the northern mountains, the road is rugged and tortuous. Although there is no dangerous danger, the supply problem in hundreds of kilometers alone brings inconvenience to many business tourists. Therefore, this road only has those for time. Only those who are extremely demanding will choose.
Suddenly, the yellow sand in the distance of the highway is like a dust storm in the desert, but the scale is much smaller.
Several herdsmen were driving camels to walk on the side of the road. When they saw this scene, their faces changed slightly. They immediately drove the livestock out of the road, walked slowly in the direction of the road, and focused most of their attention on the sand and dust chasing behind them.
Experienced people know that this is not a sandstorm, but a convoy. Looking at the sand and dust, you can infer that the size of the fleet is not small.
Soon, an armored vehicle equipped with an anti-aircraft gun similar to a warship rushed out of the sand and dust one after another. The ground was already very hard and there was little dust. Even if the vehicle drove at high speed, it only brought very little dust.
A young herdsman counted from a distance. There were 12 armored vehicles equipped with quadruple 25mm anti-aircraft guns, and behind these anti-aircraft armored vehicles, a heavy truck with a length of more than ten meters made the herdsman's eyes wide. Even the other older and cautious herdsmen couldn't help looking at the highway a mile away curiously.
From the color of these vehicles that have been sprayed with badges, it can be seen that this is a convoy of the Somali military. And the trucks carrying huge cylindrical objects are similar to the legendary missile launchers. It's just that the long conical object is covered with a layer of camouflage net and protective layer, and the things inside can't be looked carefully. But this should undoubtedly be a missile launcher.
The viper sat in a jeep and parked on the side of the road. At this moment, he smoked a cigarette and looked out of the window at the vehicles one by one. He was also very excited.
He was supposed to be in the capital to make the final preparations for the National Day military parade, but now he appeared here because there was a more important thing for him to carry out in person, that is, to lead the convoy to the Hansuga Mountain in northern Nur California, a missile base for military construction.
A total of 20 Sky 1 surface-to-surface missiles were carried in this convoy. They will be transported to the Hansuga Mountain Missile Base and stored in the underground missile silo. These ground-to-ground missiles with a range of 1,800 kilometers will be a secret weapon for the first round of attack and defense in northern Somalia.
Vipers are extremely happy about the expansion of the strategic missile battalion into a strategic missile regiment. With the expansion of the missile force and the increase in the number of missile equipment, the Somali missile force has been secretly formed in the midst of external suspicion and confusion, and has a certain strike capability.
However, the poisonous snake still has some regrets. The main reason is that these Cangqiong 1 missiles still use ** engines. In order to ensure that the high oxidation surnames and high corrosion surnames filled with ** fuel will not cause harm to the fuel tank, the missile research center had to replace the shell of the fuel tank with the precious alloy of silicon-uranium alloy. Although the cost of missile production has increased by nearly one-tenth, it is related to national defense. Under Li Mo's personal instructions, the missile factory still produced a batch of Sky missiles that can directly fill the fuel into the missile, without the need to store ** fuel separately for safety like the mobile missile force. The fuel will not be filled until the battle is launched.
Fortunately, there is also good news from the Missile Research Center. With the successful development of small solid rocket engines, the Missile Research Center and the Power Institute have been studying solid rocket engines suitable for medium- and short-range missiles. However, the solid rocket engine used in medium and short-range missiles not only amplifies small solid rocket engines, but also the composition of solid propellant is more complex and the manufacturing process is more difficult.
For example, most small solid rocket engines are single/double-base propellants, which are characterized by uniform propellants, low combustion speed and pressure. The disadvantage is that the energy level and density are low, which can only power those small missiles. It can be said that small solid engines are low-energy solid propellants used. The medium- and short-range missiles often weigh tens of tons. If you want to drop such a heavy missile hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, you need extremely huge propulsion. If you use low-energy solid propellants, the efficiency is too low, and it is even difficult to meet the launch conditions of the missile. At this time, a propellant with a larger combustion value is needed to provide a larger ratio. This is a composite propellant suitable for medium- and short-range missiles.
Because the volume of the composite propellant column is larger, some additives, dyeable agents and more oxidants need to be added to ensure the efficiency of the combustion of the column and ensure that the missile can obtain stable thrust. Many of the additive ingredients are confidential by the political axes of various countries, and some raw materials such as 'ultra-fine aluminum powder' are also It is an item that is prohibited for export by various countries. In this regard, it needs to be tested and studied by the research department itself. The process will certainly be slower, because solid propellant does not have the support and help of foreign technology, and everything depends on its own exploration.
Because it is related to the missile regiment, the viper has a deep understanding of this information. Coupled with his identity as a senior, no one will keep him on these information that is not too confidential.
At this time, it is still hundreds of kilometers away from the Nuer California Missile Base. The viper did not keep the convoy secret, but when the convoy entered Muduga, the convoy needed to travel day and night, and also chose those sparsely populated and remote places to minimize external surveillance and sky satellite reconnaissance. Fortunately, the northern part of Somalia is mountainous, which is easier to hide and keep secret than the southern plains. The viper was confident of the spying of many countries and led the convoy to the missile base safely.
Mogadishu, Li Mo's office of the Ministry of Defense. This is another power center in Somalia. It is the most important military center in Somalia, and no one can get close to it.
However, the Chinese commander, who was looked up to by countless people, crossed his legs on the phone in the office at this moment, and occasionally popped out of a few ambiguous words from the other party's playful smile. It is not difficult to guess that the other end of the phone must be a female surname.
"Xiao Wei, don't you know your husband's ability? Don't worry, I have told people to contact those ladies. Your business in the "Wanhuacong Mall" will definitely get better this week at the latest. Hey hey, but my husband, I've been running around for this matter for a few days. Is there any benefit? Li Mo said to the female surname on the other end of the phone with his feet up and a smile.
Seeing this scene, Fan Qingqing frowned and threw a white eye to Li Mo from time to time.
"Ringling..." The phone on the desk suddenly rang. Fan Qingqing was shocked and immediately trotted over to pick up the phone and said, "Hello, this is the deputy commander-in-chief's office."
"It's Qingqing. I'm Shan Guohai. Is Deputy Commander Li there?" There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and there was an intimate and cheerful voice.
When Fan Qingqing heard the familiar voice, he couldn't help saying, "Hello, Uncle Shan, Li Mo is here. I'll ask him to answer the phone."
When Fan Qingqing turned his head to talk to Li Mo, he saw that Li Mo had already hung up the phone with Liu Wei and looked over. He already knows who the other end of the phone is, Shan Guohai, vice chairman of the Chinese Military Commission.
Li Mo nodded to show that he knew who the other party was, so he took the phone from Fan Qingqing and said with a smile, "Hello, Vice Chairman Shan. Do you have any instructions?"
Since the last visit to China in a private capacity, Li Mo has been much closer to the enemy of the third man of the Chinese army. Because of the old chairman, the two not only maintained friendly contact in business, but also had some appropriate contacts in private.
"Commander Li laughed. How dare I instruct you? There is something I want to bother you when I call you this time." Shan Guohai said with a smile. From Li Mo's tone, he felt the taste of closeness, which made him feel a little hesitant, so he said it smoothly. Although he said it in a very natural and intimate way, Shan Guohai was still a little unfathomable.
Li Mo was stunned when he heard the words. He had never seen Shan Guohai call directly for help. In the past, even the cooperation between Huaxia Zhengxu and Li Mo were contacted through the embassy Ding Huiqiang. In a few cases, a secret representative would be sent to Somalia.
But this time, Shan Guohai called in person. Originally, he called as Shan Guohai. It can be guessed that the 'trouble' in Shan Guohaikou must be very big. After all, he doesn't need to call on purpose for general matters, but if it is a very important thing, it is not appropriate to call directly. After all, the two sides did not There is a subordinate relationship, and it also represents two countries. In a sense, Shan Guohai is only the third person in the Chinese army, while Li Mo is the second person in the Somali army. However, China is a big country, and Somalia is a small country. It is impossible for the two sides to be completely equal.
So Li Mo is very curious about the 'trouble' in Shanguo Haikou, because there is something wrong with this matter.
"Vice Chairman Shan joked, what's the trouble? If there is anything needed, I will do my best, not for anything else, but for the friendship between the two countries. Li Mo's mind became active, but on the surface, he remained calm. He wanted to know what the so-called 'trouble' was.
After a pause on the phone, the voice of Shan Guohai came, "Deputy Commander Li, General Yan, the general of our country, may go to Somalia in the next few days. I hope you can meet him in person."
