Chapter 962 A Complete Solution to Somalia

The news that the Somali fleet raided the combined fleet of the United States, France and Italy in the Mediterranean Sea was like a drop of water falling into the oil pan, and the whole world was boiling again.

For many small countries, 2010 is really a special year. It has only two or three months since New Year's Day to March, but the big events in the world have happened one after another. There is no end to the war-conflict-war. The wind and clouds over the world have been stirred up, and there is a lot of explosion. The posture of the world war.

The French political axe was doing the national air defense evacuation work when he received the news that the 'De Gaulle' aircraft carrier was injured. Sarkozy, the ambitious French president, reacted slightly worse than another black president across the Atlantic.

"Somalia really dares?" Sarkozy asked loudly in front of Defense Minister Moran hysterically, not knowing whether to ask someone else or himself, or to ask God.

Throughout the history of the French navy, it does not seem to be very powerful in history. It has always been in the shadow of the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom and other countries, and even the old neighbor Germany has been stronger than the French navy, even if it is a 'existing fleet'.

In the 20th and 21st centuries, France was determined to take the path of independent military industrial development, while the navy is a focus of France's development. It is a little clearer. It is not difficult to see that France, as a nuclear power, its main strategic nuclear deterrent, is concentrated in the naval submarine force.

Although it is suppressed by the supreme "glory" of the "global fleet" of the United States, the French navy is a resounding military force in the world, and it can also rank in the top five or even the top three in the world.

And this military intervention in Libya is not the time for the French navy to expand its influence and influence abroad? The French navy led the military operation against Libya, while the United States only waved the flag and shouted behind for various reasons, which made the French navy in the limelight in the world.

But all this ended in front of a small African country that provoked the status of France as a great power. The essence of the French navy is also the core force. The aircraft carrier fleet was first teased by two Somali fighters and lost face in front of the world. This time, it hit the door with too much bullying, not only sinking an advanced destroyer and a frigate, but also injuring the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle. If it hadn't been for the small number of Somali aircraft and the consumption of most of the ammunition in the battle, coupled with the support of the Western air force stationed in several island bases in the Mediterranean Italy, it would be unknown whether the Charles de Gaulle could escape.

If the 'De Gaulle' sinks, no matter how to retaliate against Somalia, it is foreseen for France to step down. Sarkozy will also become a disgrace to the French navy and be remembered forever by the French people.

Fortunately, the aircraft carrier did not sink, but then Sarkozy was angry with his pessimistic and happy idea. Who are you? The president of France, a powerful country, was bullied by a small African country, which also caused such a great loss. If he did not retaliate, he might not step down, but his president, who urged to intervene in Libya, must be blamed.

"Minister Moran, does the Ministry of Defense have any plans to attack Somalia? All the ways to revenge on the damn Somalis, I must send the damn 'East African devil' to the gallows!" Sarkozy stared at the defense minister in front of him like an angry bull with red eyes and asked coldly.

"President, are you sure it's all the way? Including the use of nuclear weapons? Minister Moran's face condensed and asked uncertainly.

Sarkozy's tone was stuffed, but then his right hand, which was clenched into a fist, waved fiercely in the air, as if to hit the face of the 'East African devil'.

"France has now suffered aggression and has been bullied. At this time, I think any means of counterattack and revenge is appropriate. Sarkozy gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "But nuclear weapons can only be used as a last resort. If conventional methods can be retalised, nuclear weapons are better to stay on the launcher."

"Mr. President, if our country is acting alone, I think the best way is to land in Somalia to combine ground operations and long-range missiles. We first used cruise missiles and ballistic missiles to attack major Somali airports, military bases, military bases and other military targets. Use the Indian Ocean Fleet, the Mediterranean Fleet to attract Somali air and sea military forces, and then implement airborne methods to airdrop ground troops to a certain point in Somalia. In Djibouti, we can also mobilize part of the army to cooperate with our troops in Djibouti to attack Somalia from the land... We can also serve Ethiopia. Obia provides military assistance, including various anti-aircraft missiles and anti-tank missiles, and sends military advisers to train and guide the Ethiopian army to fight against the Somali invasion of Ethiopia. As early as the first nuclear crisis, the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff formulated a relevant combat plan against Somalia. However, because France currently has a numerical advantage in the air between the two countries, but not in terms of quality. In terms of long-range missiles, France has a considerable number of submarine-launched missiles and cruise missiles, but Somalia also has an unknown number of road-based missiles, especially the intercontinental missiles of the previous Japanese experiments.

Because France is far away from Somalia, any method of long-range delivery of military forces cannot be without considering the mid-way interception of the Somali air force, so some previous plans are out of place. It is a new battle plan, in which France has to bear great losses.

So when Defense Minister Moran talked about it, his eyebrows have always been locked. In his heart, he did not approve of immediate retaliation against Somalia, unless nuclear weapons were used, but he knew that nuclear weapons could not be used easily. France had not suffered a Somali nuclear attack, and it was impossible for the French people to allow France to use nuclear weapons. Wu, other countries will not agree with France to use nuclear weapons, because that is equivalent to a comprehensive start of the Sofa nuclear war and then drag the world into a nuclear war.

But if France can't move, what will the rest of the world and the French people view the 'weakness' of the political axe to the outside world?

Minister Moran felt that retaliation against Somalia should not be a matter of the French ax.

Sarkozy frowned and chewed the words of Minister Moran. Although he didn't know much about the military, he also heard that the "combat plan" mentioned by Minister Moran was not novel and surprising at all. Many aspects were conservative and seemed to be not at war with an African country, but like the United States. But he has to admit that because of the current advantage of the Somali air force, if France wants to fight directly against Somalia, it must make the plan more conservative.

Sarkozy felt irritable at the thought of Somalia's fighter jets that could intercept French troops at the gate of the French state.

Suddenly, he moved his mind and asked, "What if it is proposed with the United States or directly within NATO and join hands with other countries to fight Somalia?"

"Mr. President, if this is the case, the successful grasp of the surname will increase. But we also face the risk of nuclear war unless we completely destroy the Somali nuclear counterattack forces in the first round. But that's impossible, because Somalia has the kind of 'ghost' fighter that can be used as a strategic bomber. We can't know how many such fighters there are in Somalia and where they are. Once many countries we have gathered to attack Somalia, Somalia is at risk of subjugation and will definitely take risks. Minister Moran quickly stopped President Sarkozy's idea, and he felt that the hard realization of the Somali strategic air force's raid on the three Mediterranean fleets may not necessarily agree to attack Somalia with France. For like Britain, in this battle between the West and the Third OECD, Britain rarely kept silent. In the military intervention in Libya, Britain only sent two warships to deter Libya in the western Mediterranean. In the battle and confrontation between the United States Air Force and the Third OECD Joint Air Force in the Persian Gulf, Britain The country did not participate. Britain only increased its military investment in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Germany was similar to the British approach. The two important forces in NATO did not choose to directly compete with the Third OECD, but chose another way to cooperate.

Now it seems that these two countries seem to have more foresight than France. At least the French and American navies are lost now, not the British and German navies.

This strange idea flashed away in Moran's mind. He continued to add, "Of course, our country must make a tough response to this obvious war signal given by Somalia, but I think we can use another way, that is, to divert the Somali air force that threatens the most to us. In this way, Somalia becomes a lion without teeth, and we can do whatever we want.

Sarkozy was not a fool, and he soon thought of the meaning in Moran's words. The best way to transfer the Somali air force is to break out another large-scale air war in the Persian Gulf.

Just like the first air battle in the Persian Gulf, the main force of the Somali Air Force was transferred to Iran to fight against the first-class carrier-based aircraft force of the U.S. Air Force, while in Somalia, only a few third-generation and second-generation aircraft protected their airspace. That was the most 'weak' time in Somalia.

And the United States also lost a missile destroyer in the Somali Air Force raid this time. The American political axe will never sit idly by and will definitely choose to fight back, and how to fight back, the United States is also facing the same concerns as France, that is, Somalia is a nuclear-weapon state, such as attacking Iraq and Libya. It's certainly not easy to attack Somalia, at least that determination is not easy to make. But it defeated the United Air Force in the Persian Gulf and swept away Somalia's elite air force, that is, it attacked Somalia. Without the threat of the Somali Strategic Air Force, Somalia's intercontinental missiles have just been tested. It must be deployed early. There is a period of weakness for the Somali nuclear force. At that time, it may be the time for the West to completely solve the threat of Somalia.

And France, at this time, all it wants is to add a fire to the Persian Gulf.
