Chapter 948 The Second War broke out
On the morning of the 21st, the morning news broadcast time in Somalia.
When some people who care about politics turned on the TV, they saw the spokesperson of the Somali Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who has frequently appeared on the screen recently.
Is there anything important to announce?
At this moment, the morning news of Somali national television is not only in Somalia, but also in many parts of the world.
The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs wore a white shirt and a dark blue suit, but the spokesman's expression was still as serious as usual.
"... At 3:22 a.m. this morning, when two fighters of China's National Defense Force were carrying out normal training in a high seas area of the Mediterranean Sea, they suddenly encountered a missile attack from a certain country's navy. China's political axe expressed the strongest protest and condemnation for this... China's training fighters were forced to counterattack and break into the naval ship. The team's defense circle dropped two training bombs, one of which hit a certain country's naval aircraft carrier. If this caused casualties, our political axe is deeply regretful. Again, our political axe solemnly warns some countries not to try to challenge the patience and bottom line of our political axe, otherwise all the consequences arising therefrom will be borne by you.
Although the news is very short, the content made the whole world tremble. What is an aircraft carrier? It can be said that it is a very special and important naval and air combat platform in modern military, which often represents the most important military strength of a country and a national military symbol. From the statement of the spokesman of the Somali Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it is not difficult to find that two Somali 'training fighters' can easily break through the defense circle of the aircraft carrier formation and successfully drop training bombs to hit the aircraft carrier, which shows that the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier formation is vulnerable or the strength of the Somali Air Force fighters?
In the Mediterranean Sea, there are currently a catalog formation of the French Navy and the United States Navy, so who does the "navies of a certain country" in Somalia refer to?
The U.S. political axe immediately made a statement, claiming that the country's aircraft carrier battle group had not encountered any attack, and then said that the air defense force of the U.S. aircraft carrier battle group was very strong, and there was no concern that a small number of aircraft could pose a threat to the aircraft carrier.
In this way, the 'country' in Somalia's mouth is clearly visible, that is, the French navy.
In fact, many people have guessed that even if Somali fighters are advanced, they can break into the aircraft carrier defense circle and attack the aircraft carrier with only two fighters. It is difficult to break through a large fleet with a complete multiple defense system like the U.S. aircraft carrier battle group.
The French political axe that keeps silent has brought a shadow to the hearts of the Western people. Is the Somali Air Force really so strong? Especially for the French, the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle is the pride of the French and the only nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the world except the United States. But what happened in the early morning shows that the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle is in a dangerous situation.
If France continues to insist on military intervention in Libya and the Somali Air Force sends troops to stop it, the French aircraft carrier will be in danger of being sunk.
Some French began to protest in front of the Elysee Palace, demanding that the political axe immediately stop the military intervention plan in Libya and transfer the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier back to France.
Everyone believes that the sudden appearance of Somali fighter jets in the Mediterranean in the early morning is definitely not a routine training as claimed by the Somali Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is definitely aimed at the purpose of surnames, and what is aimed at is the French aircraft carrier formation.
The training bomb not only hit the French aircraft carrier, but also hit the French's seven-inch key point. Continue to push for action against Libya, and Somalia may launch a real blockbuster next time.
French President Sarkozy immediately summoned the U.S. Ambassador to France and asked the U.S. Political Axe to immediately assume the responsibility of dragging the Somali Air Force in accordance with the provisions of the prior secret agreement, otherwise the French Political Axe would suspend the implementation of the 'Odyssey Dawn' plan.
It is impossible for the French to take risks with the only aircraft carrier, and it was the scene in the early morning that made the French political axe finally realize the real strength of the Somali strategic air force. In this regard, the French political axe is a little dissatisfied with the United States, because the Americans have not revealed the strength of the Somali Strategic Air Force in detail before.
According to the combat data provided by relevant French experts on the early morning de Gaulle aircraft carrier, if France wants to win the conflict with Somalia, the price paid is no longer acceptable to the French political axe.
At present, in addition to launching intercontinental missiles with nuclear submarines, the French political axe has almost no direct strength to attack the Somali mainland, while Somalia can directly carry out strategic and tactical strikes on the French mainland with the large range of the Condor fighter.
But to launch conventional military forces on the Somali Peninsula, the French [***] side deduced that under the strength of the air force in front of Somalia, France will lose 10,000 out of every 10,000 armed forces on the Somali Peninsula. This number is not acceptable to France at all, and Somalia is still a nuclear-weapon state. When it comes to the moment of life and death, it is impossible to guarantee that the Chinese commander in Somalia will really use nuclear weapons to solve the war.
Before eliminating the security risks brought by the Somali Air Force, even though Sarkozy and the French political axe were ready to move against Libya, they had to press the idea of greed.
The U.S. political axe was also surprised and nervous about the conflict in the Mediterranean in the early morning. Although the U.S. political axe's external statement indicated that the U.S. aircraft carrier battle group was not comparable to the French aircraft carrier formation, the Truman aircraft carrier battle group, which had been hovering in the eastern Mediterranean and known as the "super aircraft carrier", also strengthened the air. With the intensity of vigilance, the patrol aircraft did not stop including the patrol within 300 kilometers around the aircraft carrier.
The aircraft carrier Stanis battle group, which had just crossed the Suez Canal into the Red Sea, also stopped at the exit of the canal and did not deter Somalia by aggressively entering the Gulf of Aden.
In the face of the French political axe, the American political axe is certainly very dissatisfied, but at this time, the American political axe can't show its dissatisfaction. She also needs France to attack Libya and disperse the strength of the Third OECD for the United States. In the hearts of the Americans, I'm afraid that she is also happy to see part of the Somali Air Force. With the strength to deal with France, the "pressure" of the United States in the Persian Gulf is much smaller.
He scolded France for being 'cowardly'. The black president of the United States hurriedly called Sarkozy and once again encouraged Sarkozy not to worry. The United States would stand behind France and provide all the assistance to France. After seeing that Sarkozy was still unmoved, he said that the United States would send some American warships to the French navy. Together, jointly undertake the task of air defense operations.
After promising some of the benefits again, Sarkozy said that France would continue to complete the 'Odyssey Dawn' plan.
The Security Council Office of the United Nations Building once again held a closed-door meeting. The content of the discussion was the "suggestions" submitted by France, Canada, Lebanon and other countries to interfere in the "massacre of civilians" in Libya.
After two three-hour adjourning discussions, out of 15 countries with a total of 5 permanent members and 10 members, the "proposal" was adopted by the minimum standard with 9 votes in favor, 1 against and 5 abstentions and no permanent members opposed.
An hour before the vote in the Security Council, Russian ax and Libyan ax have just signed a contract to export 24 MiG-29 fighters to the Libyan ax.
In this Security Council resolution 11022, part of Gaddafi's 'crimes' were detailed, demanding that Gaddafi step down immediately, set up a 'no-fly zone' in Libya, and restore the sanctions and blockades on Libya that were lifted in 2002.
It is clear to everyone what it means to sign the arms sales contract before the resolution of the Security Council.
The United States and Western countries immediately protested against Russia's arms sales contract, but fortunately, they only signed the contract and did not deliver the aircraft, so the protest was not loud. However, after that, Russia's political axe said that the fighters sold to Libya had been loaded into the plane and took off, but because of the Security Council's resolution, Russia's political axe decided that in order not to affect Russia's export reputation, it would let the fighter parts land in Iran, waiting for Russia and Libya to discuss how to solve the arms sales contract. The problem.
This news made the United States and the West vomit blood. Everyone is clear that the Belarusian political axe is intentional. Otherwise, how can it be so fast? Just half an hour after signing the contract, more than 20 aircraft parts will be loaded into the plane and take off? When did the work of the Russian political axe become so efficient?
And if the Russian political axe really follows the resolution of the Security Council, it should recall the transport aircraft, not just to be transported to Iran. Isn't this a significant increase in the strength of the Third OECD Joint Air Force?
Just as the West and Russia were at a quarrel over this matter, China's political axe and Somalia announced at the same time that after a "long" discussion, the two countries' political axes finally negotiated a arms purchase agreement, and the Somali air force will purchase 30 J-10 fighters from China.
At the time of the announcement of the two countries, these fighters had entered Iran from southwest China through Pakistan under the pilot of Somali pilots.
Li Mo did not know the 30 J-10 fighters sold by Huaxia to Somalia before. It was completely after the decision of Mr. Fan and Huaxia Zheng Axe, he asked Li Mo for his opinion. Of course, Li Mo will not refuse to increase the strength of the United Air Force at this time, and this batch of fighters Huaxia did not require Somalia to pay the purchase cost immediately. Li Mo knows that this is because Huaxia also hopes to purchase the 'Shenhawk' fighter from Li Mo and pay the price in advance.
At this time, it is necessary to bear a lot of pressure to sell the main fighters to Somalia, but Huaxia Zheng Axe did not choose to be neutral and wait and see this time, but rarely persisted once. When the U.S. political axe protested, the Chinese political axe said that it was a normal arms trade, just as the United States often exported arms to Japan and Taiwan.
... Mogadishu, Li Mo has ordered the three armies of the National Defense Force to be ready. Once the Security Council resolution is adopted and France intervenes in Libya, Somalia will definitely intervene.
On the battlefield in the Ogaden area, the Somali army has only two brigades, but it has air support of more than 200 helicopters. At present, except for the 9th Infantry Brigade and the first infantry brigade, which are fighting with the Ethiopian regular army, other troops have gone deep into the Ogaden area to the remnants of Ethiopia in the region. Strive to carry out the suppression.
Since the Ethiopian Air Force was shot down by the Somali Air Force, it has not dared to enter the Ogaden area. At present, the two sides are almost pure ground combat.
In the southern part of Somalia, Kenya, which originally planned to fight with Ethiopia, immediately stopped under the abnormal mobilization of two mechanized brigades in the Somali Southern Military Region. Although it had just received some heavy equipment assistance from the United States, the Kenyan army had been afraid of Somalia and saw Ethiopia. The end of Obia did not dare to make any move at all. The decision to exercise with Ethiopia in the border area before releasing the Buddha was not made by Kenyan political axe at all.
In the face of such a country that is greedy for life and afraid of death, even the American political axe has no choice. Anyway, the American political axe does not intend that Kenya can disperse much of Somalia's military power.
For Ethiopia, the support of the United States has suddenly increased a lot, including economic aid and some weapons that are sold and delivered. As long as Ethiopia has been fighting in the Ogaden region and Somalia for a longer time, it is always a weakness for Somalia.
"In the past, I always felt that the United States and the West were too strong, and other countries dared not say anything, but in modern times, with the Persian Gulf War, more and more countries are unwilling to calm down." In Li Mo's office, Major General Hussein, the Chief of General Staff, said with a smile.
He refers to the fact that Russia and China sold fighter jets to the Third OECD during this period despite the opposition of the United States and the West, and also slightly simplified the active fighters of the Ben [***] team for export.
"The power of the 'anti-American front' is still very strong. Everyone has never given up the struggle, but the previous struggle is in the dark, and the Persian Gulf War is just a fuse." Li Mo said with a smile, "These countries only need to bear some pressure and fight a war of words, but we have to really shed blood and fight with the West on the front line. Not to mention supporting some active fighters, we will pay more to everyone. If we can effectively attack the United States and fight against Western forces, these countries are afraid I'm afraid I'm willing."
Hussein nodded silently and suddenly frowned deeply, "There will be a result in the Security Council soon, and the French countries are also ready to intervene in Libya. Commander, are we really going to send troops to participate then?"
As the Chief of General Staff, Major General Hussein understands the potential of war in Somalia. Now that the United States is active in the Persian Gulf, the pressure over there is almost impossible to withstand it. If Somalia still has to go to war with France, what are the chances of winning?
Li Mo stood up and looked out of the window. The sun was still very strong outside, but over the sea in the distance, the weather was a little gloomy and the storm was coming.
"We have no choice but to fight for decades of peace." Li Mo clenched his fist and said in a sonorous tone.
Secretary Fan Qingqing came in at this time and reported, "Just now, there was news from the drill headquarters that the U.S. Air Force had abnormal actions. The United Air Force shot down a U.S. unmanned reconnaissance aircraft deep into Iran in an hour."
Li Mo and Hussein looked at each other and understood that a more fierce war was coming.
... "Fire..." With an order, a smoke rose on the two U.S. destroyers at the same time, and two slender Tomahawk cruise missiles rose to the sky, flew to the south, and soon disappeared from sight.
On the 'De Gaulle' aircraft carrier, after the take-off order was also issued in the command tower, four 'gust M' and four 'super-military flag' attack aircraft flew together. They will attack several Libyan military targets as the first wave of military intervention against Libya.
Air defense alerts have been sounded in Tripoli, the capital of Libya, and Bengazi, the capital of the coast. In addition to cracking down on the rebels, the Libyan army and the third fast counter-arms have recently conducted targeted training on air strikes.
"Ban!" A cruise missile accurately hit the third fast anti-force headquarters building, and the three-story white building immediately collapsed. The blazing fire and thick black smoke rose into the sky, and the building glass hundreds of meters were all shattered at the moment when the cruise missile exploded.
A 'Lion King' infantry fighting vehicle driving on suburban roads was destroyed on the road by bombs dropped by roaring French fighters.
Within half an hour of the operation of the two teams of the United States and France, more than 30 Tomahawk cruise missiles and 20 fighter air strikes were carried out in Libya. The main air raid targets of the two countries are the Libyan Revolutionary Guard barracks in the western suburbs of Tripoli and the third fast counter-force barracks in Bengazi, followed by mobile and immovable military targets in the surrounding areas of the two places. Libya's air defense forces did not want to show weakness, but because the weapons were too backward, there was no result at present.
As for the Libyan Air Force, except for the MiG-29s urgently purchased in Iran, there are almost no fighters that can take off. A few fighters that can take off are also afraid to take off because of the lack of maintenance and maintenance and the ability to be too backward.
In Italy, Sicily and several nearby islands, Italy has opened six air bases for the multi-[***] team to carry out the 'Dawn Odyssey' operation, and fighter jets from Canada, Denmark, France and the United States have also stationed in these six air bases.
Sicily is a relatively tight Mediterranean island from Libya. The nearest air base is only 440 kilometers away from the Libyan capital. It only takes ten minutes for fighter jets to reach Libya. It can be said that these Mediterranean islands are immovable super aircraft carriers.
At the beginning of the Mediterranean multinational force's military intervention against Libya, the U.S. Air Force and carrier-based aircraft were also making final preparations in the southern Persian Gulf. This time, the United States mobilized 300 fighters, including the most advanced F-22, to defeat the Joint Air Force with thunderbolt.
