Chapter 944 Western Pacific Storm

The senior officials of the five members of the Third OECD immediately held a teleconference consultation on the proposals submitted by France and other countries to the Security Council, while the huge staff of the undissolved Persian Gulf Exercise Command, which gathered hundreds of elite staff talents from five countries, also worked overtime to start deductions and discussions on the situation in Libya. .

For the Third OECD, Libya must not have an accident, not because Libya is one of the member countries, but more importantly, the Gaddafi family is the country with the largest logistics of the Persian Gulf exercise force.

Modern war is about logistics, and it is money. Several countries of the Third OECD are not very rich. The two-day air war between the United States in the Persian Gulf, and the cost of materials and post-war maintenance is an astronomical figure. If Gaddafi hadn't provided almost half of the money, the war would not have been fought like this.

Now, there is still a confrontation in the Persian Gulf, and a new round of conflict may break out. At this time, Libya's 'money bag' cannot be discarded under any circumstances.

For several reasons, the Third OECD must ensure that the West cannot interfere in the Libyan civil war, so that Gaddafi can calmly suppress those opponents.

But how to stop Western military intervention in Libya has become a matter of endless quarrels among member states.

Libya's political axe naturally hopes to deploy the Persian Gulf exercise force to Libya, so as to fundamentally prevent the West from launching air strikes on Libya from the Mediterranean.

But this proposal has been firmly opposed by Iran and Syria. It fought in the Persian Gulf and the United States for two days, which is comparable. The United States is mobilizing more military forces to put them into this region. The existence of the exercise force will make the two countries feel safe. Once there is no exercise force, how will the two countries face the United States? A fierce army? ?

But it is not okay to sit idly by. Iran and Syria proposed that they could send ground air defense forces into Libya, but of course, Libya was not satisfied with this proposal.

Let's not talk about how many air defense forces can be mobilized into Libya in three days, that is, there are enough air defense forces, but in the face of the attacking side, the strategic disadvantage of the defense side always exists, and the Western intervention in military forces can always find the right loophole to attack Libya's military and civilian facilities. In addition, the role of the "Patriot Missile Defense System" boasted by the United States in real large-scale air warfare is not very obvious, not to mention the ground air defense forces temporarily assembled by several countries.

Passive defense must bear considerable losses, which Gaddafi absolutely does not want to see.

Therefore, the focus of the dispute between the two sides is on the need to send air forces into Libya to defend Libya's airspace.

Somalia and North Korea were in a dilemma, and finally had to report this issue to the senior management, which was discussed and decided by the senior management of the five countries.

Li Mo also had a headache after learning about the dispute at the drill headquarters. He finally understood the suffering in the hearts of the Americans. At the same time, he opened up the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq, coupled with the war with the Third OECD in the Persian Gulf, and opened up three battlefields at the same time. I'm afraid that only a superpower like the United States can bear it, and the Third Economic Organization is now facing two battlefields.

The strength is still too weak.

Although it is not clear why France suddenly intervened in Libya instead of choosing to wait and see, one thing Li Mo knows is that this matter has absolutely something to do with the Americans. The Americans must have promised some benefits to the French, and the two sides reached a secret agreement to get this matter out.

This is to disperse the strength of the Third OECD in the United States. After weakening the Third OECD, the United States can be more relaxed.

Libya can't help but be saved. Where can we gather a joint air force? The losses of the United Air Force in the Persian Gulf War have not been made up. Libya and Russia are still negotiating plans to purchase warplanes. Even if Russia agrees to simplify the sale of active warplanes of the Russian army, it will take several months, so don't expect to add new aircraft for the time being.

In Iran, the number of the three generations of main fighters of the United Air Force is only about 40, and the Udeid Air Base of the United States opposite the Persian Gulf has been replenished in just a few days and has nearly a hundred fighters, and the aircraft carrier Nimitz, which was originally hovering in the Gulf of Aden, is about to enter the wave. Siwan replaces the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group with large fighter losses. At that time, the United States regained its pre-war air force strength, while the combined air force weakened by half.

This is the potential of war. The United States has lost dozens of fighters. Compared with the number of thousands of main fighters in the U.S. Air Force, it is not worth mentioning at all. It can be added at any time. The main fighters of the United Air Force rely on procurement. How can they compare the consumption with the United States?

If it hadn't been for the Somali 'Godhawk' fighter that almost destroyed a squadron's F-22 fighters in the encounter, which would have cast a shadow in the hearts of the Americans and acted more cautiously, I'm afraid that the Persian Gulf would not have a few days of peace.

After calculation, it seems that the only way to rescue the Libyan crisis can support Libya's air defense "Eagle" fighters at any time by long range, but after all, many technologies of the "Eagle" fighters are based on this era. It is impossible that they are all super-era things. Some parts of the fighters are also seriously worn, long-term flight and Air combat aircraft also need to be repaired and maintained, and pilots also need to rest and recover their energy.

With less than 30 'Shenhawk' fighters in Somalia alone, it is impossible to compete for air sniorship in two battlefields at the same time.

When Li Mo summoned the senior management of the military to secretly discuss the matter, Stone, a member of the National Defense Commission and dean of the Military Academy, said, "Why don't we change our mind, such as taking the initiative to attack..."

The United States instigated France and other [***] to intervene in Libya in order to spread the strength of the joint air force in the Persian Gulf. When France and other countries act, the United States will certainly respond in the Persian Gulf and drag down the main force of the joint air force in the Persian Gulf. Therefore, Li Mo felt that no matter what he was, he could not solve the problem of control of two battlefields thousands of miles apart.

But Stone's proposal made him shine. There are still three days before the Security Council discusses the 'proposal'. During these three days, the Third OECD has many things to do, such as taking the initiative.

After a while of discussion, everyone felt that if they really planned to do it first, they would have to bear great international pressure, and the goal of doing it could only be the direction of Libya, not the direction of the Persian Gulf.

Persimmons should be softly pinched. The main force in Libya is France. There is an aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, followed by the NATO air base in Sicily, Italy. Compared with the U.S. aircraft carrier battle group in the Persian Gulf and the Udeid air base made up by the warplanes, It must be weaker.

"The staff made a plan for this first time and passed it to the senior management of the drill headquarters to see how other countries decide." Li Mo ordered with a solemn face.

... Compared with the tense Persian Gulf and the Southern Mediterranean, the Western Pacific Ocean is calm.

However, in the eastern part of the Yellow Sea, a very special incident occurred along the coastal border between North and South Korea in the western part of the Korean Peninsula.

While patrolling in this area, a North Korean patrol boat suddenly opened fire on a South Korean fishing boat, causing 1 death and 1 injury.

This news was soon confirmed by South Korea's political axe that there was another whirlwind of 'recovering the Korean Peninsula' in South Korea.

South Korea's political axe moved quickly. Almost after sending a tough condemnation to North Korea, it sent a destroyer to the scene of the incident, and North Korea was not willing to lag behind. Although I don't understand why North Korean patrol boats would provoke South Korea at this time, North Korea was never willing to fall in the fight with South Korea. Under the wind, because they are all a nation, once a country, once North Korea falls behind, it will be very unfavorable to North Korea's political axe.

Both countries are working hard to unify the Korean Peninsula, but there is a big difference between North Korea defeating the reunification of South Korea or South Korea defeating North Korea.

Less than half a day after the incident, the South Korean naval destroyer arrived at the site of the accident, and then had a small artillery battle with the North Korean navy.

Before the surrounding China and Russia could react, the two countries launched a small-scale exchange of fire at sea and on the road, and the sky over the Korean Peninsula was suddenly cloudy.

At this time, the U.S. political axe and some Western countries followed the condemnation of the North Korean navy's attack on fishing boats. For a while, Western public opinion once again described North Korea as a country led by a 'rogue regime'.

The pressure from public opinion and the puzzledness of the North Korean patrol boat opening fire on the fishing boat have not yet made the Kim family react. The United States and South Korea also announced that they would conduct large-scale joint exercises in the Yellow Sea at the beginning of next month. In addition to sending a number of advanced destroyers and air forces to participate in the exercise, Japan and South Korea will also send helicopter carriers, and the United States will send the Washington aircraft carrier to participate in the exercise. It is expected that there will be nearly 100 warships and 200 air force warplanes, and the purpose of the exercise will be in the Yellow Sea.

Huaxia and Russia were worried about the three countries' exercises in the Yellow Sea, and both protested to the three countries, claiming that the military exercises of the three countries would break the stability of the Western Pacific region and have a far-reaching negative impact on the first region.

But when the two countries contacted the three countries in secret and tried to stop the exercise, the two countries also reacted immediately.

The Chinese Ministry of National Defense announced that China's three major fleets would conduct exercises in a certain area of the East China Sea as a countermeasure to the joint exercises between the United States and South Korea, while Russia is more direct. Two Tu-95 'bear' strategic bombers of the Russian Air Force took off directly from the Far East Military Region, along the western part of the Japanese Sea, almost to the south of the South Korean territory, passing through the Korean Strait and then returning, called normal strategic duty and patrol, causing great tension and panic between the two countries. The two countries sent a number of fighters to follow the two bombers without fighter escort until they sent each other out of the country.
