Chapter 885 Strategic Air Force
Major Gedi, the commander of the navy, took a careful look at Li Mo, with some drums in his heart. To be honest, he also knows Li Mo's 'Great Air Force' plan, and has heard Li Mo say more than once that he will not increase the investment of the navy. But as the commander of the navy, he must 'profit' for the navy.
And this time, Li Mo visited abroad and signed several large orders. He also knew very well that Li Mo now had a sum of money in his hand, so he cried again.
After all, the phrase 'children who can cry have milk' is a Chinese saying.
"Commander, when I visited Ukraine the other day, the Ukrainian authorities intended to sell the 'Ukraine' to us."
Li Mo's eyes flashed and looked straight at Major General Gedi.
"Is it the 95.1% completed cruiser 'Ukraine'? Isn't the Ukrainian political axe now negotiating with the Russian political axe and hoping that Russia will buy it? Why did you let us buy it? The last time Li Mo went to Ukraine, he also saw the 'Ukraine' moored in the shipyard. At that time, Li Mo was shocked by this huge warship, but he understood that it was not what he wanted.
"Yes, it's this cruiser." Major General Gerdy rubbed his hands and replied excitedly. He thought Li Mo was also moved.
Li Mo shook his head speechlessly and asked, "Do you think the Somali navy needs such a huge thing? I don't deny that the combat effectiveness of the 'Ukraine' is strong. If it is completed, it will have a very direct effect on increasing the combat effectiveness of the Somali navy. I can reversarily feel that how many frigates and even submarines need to be equipped to give full play to the combat effectiveness of this 'aircraft carrier killer'?
A 'Ukraine' did not play a big role in the naval battle. The best way is to integrate the 'Ukraine' into a fleet equipped with several destroyers, frigates and submarines. But the Somali navy doesn't even have a frigate, let alone a destroyer.
Major General Gedi's face changed, and then he felt a little bitter. In fact, he had this preparation before he mentioned it. The air force is preparing for a big move, and many elite pilots have been urgently recruited for secret training at a secret base, as well as Major General Gerdy. But he still proposed it. He believed that as long as Li Mo had enough money, he would always leave a mouthful of soup for the navy.
Li Mo also looked at the 'poor' appearance of a nearly fifty-year-old man's face and felt funny. After a while of meditation, Li Mo sighed and said, "Well, you organize some people to visit several countries recently to inspect the sales of ships in that country. If appropriate, the navy can add one or two more frigates.
"Really? Boss, thank you so much." Some depressed Major General Gerdy's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he planned to rush over to give Li Mo a hug. Li Mo quickly stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Although I have opened a mouth for you, you should remember that this matter should not only take into account the navy, but also the position of Somalia. Don't just worry about the surname, data and price of the warship, and be pinched in the future."
Li Mo gave him a preventive injection in advance, because the warship is a kind of high-tech integrated weapons and equipment, and the purchased ones need to be maintained. In many aspects, the sales company also needs to do some after-sales service, such as the procurement and repair of some parts. If Major Gedi buys a warship from a country that is good with the United States, it will be easy to get stuck in the neck.
"Boss, don't worry, I will pay attention to this. I plan to make a plan for the convenor later, and then visit countries such as China, Russia and Ukraine. Major General Gedi understood the meaning of Li Mo's words and immediately promised.
With two frigates, the combat effectiveness of the Somali navy has been strengthened a lot. Although it is still at the bottom in the Gulf of Aden, it is not so shy to meet people now.
After the naval inspection, Li Mo came to the last stop, the Air Force Flight Academy.
Brigadier General Assad, deputy commander of the air force, personally accompanied Li Mo, the commander of the air force, to inspect the training and training of pilots.
Overall, the Somali Air Force has now passed the difficult period at the beginning. There is a complete system of training from junior students to pilots. At present, there are more than 200 cadets studying in the Air Force Flight Academy, and dozens of junior pilots and senior pilots are sent to the Air Force every year. The gradual expansion and improvement of the reserve force of the air force is very beneficial to Li Mo's "Great Air Force" plan.
"Airplanes can be bought and built, but pilots are a long training process. The quality of pilots is related to the success or failure of air warfare, the political quality of pilots, and the safety and honor of the overall department of the Air Force. Assad, in the future, we should not only strengthen students' skill learning, but also strengthen students' ideological education. Walking on the field of the flight college, Li Mo looked at the gray building in front of him and said with emotion.
"The commander's words are very correct and very important. The current air force is not the same as the previous air force, and pilots can't casually pull to the battlefield. Small scale and precision are the development direction of the modern air force. The headquarters and colleges are also formulating more detailed and complete training plans. From the beginning of the beckoning students to the final service in the army, there is a strict review and assessment system. Every graduate student is qualified, and every pilot is loyal to the country. It's home." Assad was a junior officer in the Air Force during the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, but in a few years in Somalia, he has become a thorough Somali and the second in the Air Force. The prominent identity did not make this 'outsider' domineering, but more cautious and careful, and more responsible for the work. Because people like them have a good similar object - Li Mo.
Li Mo nodded slightly. Li Mo was very reassured about Assad's ability and loyalty. These people can be said to be homeless and now regard Somalia as their home.
" By the way, how is the preparation of the 'Strategic Air Force' plan?" Li Mo suddenly stopped to ask, and his voice was also slightly lowered. Although many guards around him arranged several layers of cordon, Li Mo still subconsciously remained vigilant.
Assad's face changed slightly and he looked around carefully before whispering, "We have transferred 50 of the most rigorously assessed active pilots to participate in the 'Strategic Air Force' plan. They will carry out very strict training and screening, and may leave less than a third of the people in the end. I am currently in charge of this work, and I am the only one in the Air Force who knows the complete plan.
The strategic air force is not a traditional air force composed of strategic bombers in a general sense. It is a code name for the nuclear-powered fighter, which is a "space fighter" jointly studied by Star Group and the "No. 9 Laboratory".
Once the 'space fighter' plan is successfully completed, the existing pilots will certainly not be able to adapt to the ultra-high-high-speed ultra-long working hours flight environment, so the pilots need to be trained more cruelly. And the first thing this plan should ensure is loyalty.
Because according to the prediction of the research department, the flight altitude of the future 'nuclear-powered fighter' will exceed 40,000 meters, and the maximum speed may exceed Mach 4, while the flight city is not determined by the fuel, but by the design of the flight itself, the wear degree of parts and lubricant. Of course, it also needs to be determined by It depends on the physical condition of the pilot.
But anyway, once the fighter uses nuclear power, the air city can be calculated in units of 10,000 kilometers.
After learning about the plan, Assad could hardly believe it. If Li Mo told him that Star Group had developed a fourth-generation fighter, Assad might not be too surprised, but nuclear-powered aircraft had appeared in the calendar, but it was later eliminated for various reasons, indicating that there are still many problems that cannot be solved with the current scientific research technology.
And since Li Mo has come up with the plan of the 'strategic air force', it shows that he is sure to provide that kind of 'nuclear-powered aircraft'.
Thinking that he will become the second person in the world's most powerful air force, which is equivalent to the first person, Assad is very excited, but at present, he can't find someone to share these excitements unless he is going to spend the rest of his life in the secret prison of the intelligence department.
"Well, that's good. This matter should be kept confidential. I think it will take less than a year or more than two years, and the Strategic Air Force will have a plane that can fly. That's when we really stand on the top of the world. Although Li Mo's words were cautious, he showed strong self-confidence and pride in his words.
After inspecting the work of the Air Force, Li Mo's main work at this stage is equivalent to the end. These days, he hardly makes his voice internationally. Many people are surprised to practice in a low profile. According to the intelligence department, because of Li Mo's low profile, some of Mogadishu's open and secret spies have been more frequent recently.
Because everyone knows that Li Mo is not a lonely person. Who knows if he is planning a big conspiracy?
Back to Mogadishu, Li Mo went straight to the seaside castle. Since that day was destroyed by Liu Wei at a critical moment, Li Mo hasn't been here for many days in a row, and he usually made a few phone calls. He can't dodge today because several girls 'sent' hard-line 'diplomatic notes' to him.
It was still Tina, the housekeeper, who came out to greet her, but today's housekeeper somehow wore black stockings, which surprised Li Mo, and her eyes floated over from time to time.
But I don't know if the housekeeper did it on purpose. When leading the way in front of her, the extent of the thin waist twisting and plump buttocks swaying is particularly obvious, which is very red fruit **.
Although Li Mo couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he still dispelled it when he thought that there was a group of 'bosses' at home who were waiting for him to 'give public food'. The idea of the play.
