An air force without a strategic air force is not a complete air force.Especially in the modern strategic era of pursuing a three-in-one nuclear strike, strategic bombers have always been in the hands of the United States and Russia.The number of strategic bombers owned by the two countries accounted for 90 of the world's number.NATO alone has 65 of the world’s strategic bombers.

So far, Li Lan hasn't even had a bomber, let alone long-range nuclear strategic bombers, even bombers for tactical missions.Large aerial tankers and transport aircraft are also missing.

Li Lan, who has all the dependence on the base technology, in this regard, even if he is urgent, there is no way to immediately change the status quo.The only thing that makes him feel fortunate is that he has an early warning aircraft. After the completion of the construction of the aircraft carrier, the newly added carrier-based aircraft carrier list, in addition to the professional Wasp-class carrier-based aircraft, there are other aircraft carrier types: carrier-based aircraft Anti-submarine helicopters, carrier-based electronic warfare aircraft, carrier-based tankers, carrier-based early warning aircraft.

However, other than that, he did not surprise him more.The early warning aircraft can be used in general, but the voyage and air time are not as good as the large land-based early warning aircraft.It is sufficient to undertake fleet air defense early warning, but it is not ideal for performing long-term early warning in large-scale airspace.

Li Lan's efforts to this end have never stopped. The spies have sent back a lot of information, and the scientists in the combat laboratory have also worked very hard.It's just a pity that so far, there is no aircraft that meets the requirements of the base.The question mark above the fighter list still has not been unlocked.Li Lan didn't even have the energy to try something new.In his words, even if you need the ultimate authority to produce, you can at least feast your eyes!

In terms of scientific research, there is no rush, and for this, Li Lan can only wait patiently.I hope that I will be able to surprise myself at that time and don't let my long hard work be disappointed.

"Have you ever figured out which army reloading division wants to strengthen the African Command? What are the recent substantial changes in the specific military strength of the US military?" Li Lan asked.

Tan Ya stroked his thoughts and replied: "Over the years, the United States has been strengthening the military strength of the African Command. According to the latest US energy import summary, currently 19 US oil imports are provided by Africa. This number, It is expected that it will grow to 28 in three years. At present, the closest military force of the U.S. Africa Command to us is a 2,000-man special force stationed in Djibouti. The U.S. Africa Command will have a total of three missions from Europe, Central and Pacific. A headquarters has taken over 182 military missions, and has now taken over 24. In the past two years, the US military has been strengthening the military presence in Africa, especially the air force. There are six complete organizations around us within an effective combat radius. Air Fighter Wing, two strategic bomber wing, four Air Force fighter squadrons, the total number of aircraft has reached 500, accounting for a quarter of the total number of US land-based aircraft. If you count the fifth and sixth fleets With the two aircraft carrier strike groups in the fleet, the United States can use more than 600 fighters to directly attack us. This does not rule out the possibility that the US military will continue to increase its troops. If there is a war in the future, the US aircraft carrier strike group will at least increase. Two, by then, there will be at least four US aircraft carrier strike groups directly participating in the battle.

At the Manda Bay Naval Base in Kenya, the U.S. Naval Corps of Engineers is building an airport runway. The airport costs 10 million U.S. dollars. Once completed, it will enable large transport aircraft to take off and land in harsh weather conditions.Currently, 120 American soldiers and contractors have stationed in this base.The construction of the Manda Bay naval base is the tip of the iceberg for the United States to accelerate its military deployment in Africa.With the gradual withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan, the United States has accelerated its military deployment in Africa.According to a recent report on the official website of the U.S. Africa Command, the command is vigorously supporting the construction of logistics capabilities of African partner countries and improving their ability to perform counter-terrorism and peacekeeping missions.

According to the ABC's disclosure, the reloading division to support Africa is the most military deployment in three years.In the past three years, the United States has sent more than 5,000 troops to Africa. This time, it directly added a heavy equipment division, mainly to put us under military pressure.As for the number and deployment time and location of this force, it is not yet known."

"Let the intelligence department pay close attention to this matter, especially the deployment time, we must find out as soon as possible." Li Lan's brow narrowed and ordered.

For a long time, the United States has always regarded Africa as a backward and failed continent and ignored it.Since the late 1990s, with the acceleration of Africa’s recovery process and integration construction, its strategic position has risen, especially at the time of the world energy crisis and resource scarcity. Africa’s value as a treasure house of energy resources has been highlighted, and the United States has rediscovered And began to attach importance to Africa and substantially adjusted its African policy.

The U.S. adjusts and strengthens its policy toward Africa to strengthen its military presence as the forerunner and focus: the establishment of the African Command in 2008 was an unprecedented move, even during the Cold War. The NATO air raid on Libya in 11 years was deployed and led by the command. Yes, establish military bases and garrisons in some African countries and strengthen the deployment of naval forces in West African waters to ensure the safety of their maritime oil transportation lines.In 12 years, the United States carried out more than 10 military operations in Africa and signed military agreements with more than 20 African countries on the use of airports and ports during wartime.

On the surface, the strengthening of the non-military forces of the United States is for the need of "anti-terrorism", but in fact it is to protect its strategic interests in Africa, especially its oil interests.Its non-military operations mainly revolve around its energy resource bases and transportation lines, and are not interested in other African regions that have nothing to do with its interests.The US military’s “counter-terrorism” operations in Africa are also selective. They oppose “terrorism” that endangers their interests, and they will only “selectively blind” even if they have nothing to do with terrorism that is unrelated to their interests. .

With the concerted cooperation and coordination of various U.S. political, military, and economic means, African oil has continuously flowed into U.S. oil depots.In 2006, the United States imported 2.23 million barrels of crude oil a day from Africa, accounting for 17 of its total oil imports.According to the prediction of the National Security Council of the United States, by 15 years, the United States' oil imports from Africa will account for 30 of its total oil imports, exceeding its total oil imports from the Middle East. Africa will become the largest source of US oil imports.U.S. politicians have therefore raised Africa's oil supply to a level related to "U.S. national security."This is the main reason why the United States has substantially adjusted its Africa policy, especially strengthening its non-military presence.

Secondly, the strengthening of the US military presence in Africa is also to contain China's influence in Africa.Especially after Li Lan entered the eyes of the United States, the United States will strengthen the military presence of the African Command every year.The various aerial reconnaissance operations against Li Lan have been gradually transferred from the original Central Command to the African Command.

The strengthening of ground forces is also to further contain Li Lan's military development momentum.Judging from the troop surge in recent years, the United States has not stationed a large number of ground combat troops, but has focused on special operations concepts.The number of people ranges from dozens to hundreds, and the elite deployment is implemented to carry out precision battlefield strikes.

The United States just announced the military transfer, a reorganized heavy equipment division, which is a very powerful force.Its composition is similar to that of the First Heavy Equipment Division of the Red Police Corps, and similar in structure to the number of tanks, tanks, and aircraft.

Coupled with the joint operations of the navy and air force, the combat effectiveness of this heavy equipment division is no less than that of the first heavy equipment division of the Red Police Corps.Therefore, for such a regular ground warfare unit, Li Lan will naturally not be less concerned.

During the discussions between the three of Li Lan, the convoy arrived at the destination unknowingly.This is a huge valley with a width of nearly two kilometers from north to south, and a span of more than four kilometers from east to west. The surrounding mountains are steep and there are many strange rocks.

Inside the valley, it has been razed, the original weeds have long since disappeared, replaced by a flat concrete floor, and a barracks lying at the exit of the valley.Inside, there is a battalion of security forces, a combat company, and a company of two engineers, dedicated to the security and maintenance of this place.

Behind the barracks, a very eye-catching tower-shaped building stands at the corner of the valley. The height of this tower is basically the same as the surrounding mountain cliffs. There are no doors or windows in the tower. It is completely enclosed. When it is close to the details, it seems that you can feel To its metallic texture.

This guy is actually a crack generator. When confirming the construction of this crack generator in the valley, he chose the appearance of the tower.It is specially used to cover up the situation in this valley to deceive intentional investigative methods.

Of course, the most eye-catching is not this strange tower, but in the middle of the valley, a huge titanium steel device is lying flat on the ground quietly.The homogeneous titanium steel structure, as well as the railroad tracks crisscrossing the valleys, the source is hidden in the cliffs around the mountain, and they all converge into this giant steel structure.

Among the big guys with steel structure, there is not only one skeleton, which is covered with various complicated lines, as well as various hydraulic equipment, connecting cuts, and lifting devices.The most noticeable thing is that under this flat steel structure is a huge artificial pool.

If a person's line of sight can be level with the ground, it is basically impossible to see in front of this huge steel structure, because it seems to have been attached to the ground suddenly.If you are looking down from the sky, without looking at these tracks, you just look at the ground, you can't see what it is, it's more like a scroll lying in a valley.
