Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 293: A Temporary Restrained War

The collision between 031 and the Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser was just the beginning. Before everyone had reacted, the other four warships collided together without any suspense.

It was still the shocking impact and the harsh metal breaking and twisting sound.

Of the two Ali Burke-class destroyers, one was smashed into a bow and the other had a lifeboat door collapsed.The two multifunctional destroyers on the side of the Red Police Corps were also seriously injured. The original beautiful capital of the ship disappeared, leaving a twisted bow.

Six scarred warships appeared in the eyes of all the pilots, and the fleets of both sides totaled more than 80 fighters, witnessing this scene with their own eyes.

This is definitely the largest warship collision accident since 1988. The unchanging side is the United States, and it is the side that will bear it.

When the high-level US officials learned of this situation, they were all too shocked to speak. They never dreamed that the Navy of the Liberty Alliance would be so tough and so dare to fight.This kind of impact is very dangerous. If the missile in the vertical launcher is injured, it will be very tragic no matter who it is.

Fortunately, this situation did not appear.

"This is an act of war. You must pay for such a barbaric act." Half a day later, when all the crew members with blue noses and swollen faces recovered, the American warship roared.

"This is the result of your provocation, and if you have the determination to ignore our defense of sovereignty, you will pay the price again." Compared with the blue and swollen face of the US sailors, the soldiers on the Red Police warship are much better, of course.Injuries are inevitable, but not as serious as the opponent.

Having said that.The three warships directly made a return posture.The impact just now did not harm the power plants of both parties.But the combat effectiveness was basically lost.

Looking at the Somali warship that turned around and left without incident, a deep sense of shame suddenly appeared in the hearts of every American.The attitude of the other party not putting them in their eyes is really annoying.But when the top Americans learned about it and gave orders, they could only helplessly prepare to leave.

No one dared to propose to the territorial waters of Somalia to search for the disappeared underwater wired robot on the No Time.The behavior of these Somalis has been equated with lunatics.

The United States saw the determination of the Somali Freedom Alliance.Li Lan has also seen the attitude of the United States today, as well as many current problems in the United States.

It is not that the United States has no determination to attack the Freedom League of Somalia, but is not yet fully prepared. The intelligence work has not made good progress, and it has not accurately targeted the attack. It cannot destroy Li Lan's counterattack ability at one time.In this situation, even if the United States wants to do anything, it will take a long time to prepare.

The previous preparations had been interrupted by Li Lan's two successive naval dispatches.New preparations must be made to deal with Li Lan's navy and air force advantages.The most direct point is to prepare a little more fifth-generation Raptor fighter jets to completely form an air superiority over Li Lan.

of course.Sending more F-22s to Africa and the Arabian Peninsula is only part of the latest preparations for the navy.To form an advantage over the Somali Navy, at least one aircraft carrier or two must be dispatched.In any case, there must be at least five aircraft carriers.With a large number of nuclear-powered submarines, this has great advantages.

The most important point is that the United States also needs to pull its allies together to jointly deal with Li Lan's military influence at this moment.To complete these preparations, there is absolutely no way to complete it without a month or two.The more advanced weapons and equipment, the more difficult it is to maintain logistics.

Li Lan liked this feeling very much, watching his opponent gradually open his hole cards, revising his tactics and strategy time and time again.And this opponent is still the world's hegemon—the United States. This kind of pride is worthy of every man's recollection, and Li Lan is no exception.

Of course, he was not too proud to lose his mind.When the two warships collided, Li Lan seemed to be watching a 3D action movie, no... it was n times better than a 3D movie.

After the collision, Li Lan gave the order to return the three warships immediately, not to worry about the Immaculate, let alone the other's three wounded warships.

This is his signal to the United States. We have no intention of starting a war. Otherwise, the means used would not be a collision. While sending out this signal, Li Lan also used the collision time to tell the United States that we are not afraid of war.What if the same falls.

The U.S. is not a fool, and naturally understands it.The strategic deployment has not been prepared, and the war is not suitable for a fight at this time. The United States now only has to bite its teeth and swallow it in its stomach.After all, the opponent's fighter plane group also came to the airspace where the incident occurred and was also very close to the opponent's coastline.Even if the United States wants to do anything, there is no way to start at this time.At this time, even if the United States finds bad luck for the Liberty Alliance, it can't do much.

These three warships can all enter the factory for overhaul. Basically, they are still able to move, and other functions are difficult to perform.Is it to tell the fighter plane to hit the opponent's warship?It is not easy for this kind of thought to appear in the heads of Americans.

Therefore, after seeing the warships of the Liberty Alliance leave, the Fifth Fleet Command can only order three warships and aircraft to leave one by one, including the Immaculate.As for the robot, it has long been ignored by the US military command.Everything is subject to strategy, and there is no need to break the established strategic plan because of an underwater detection machine that is still in the test period.

The closing of the hands of the two sides made this conflict that is likely to intensify and calmed down briefly.However, whether it is the United States or Li Lan, it is very clear that as long as the confrontation between the two sides remains unchanged, this kind of thing will often develop. Whether it will really turn into a war in the future depends only on the further evolution of the situation.

After the fuse of a war that was restrained and suppressed by both sides, Li Lan did not continue to stay in the console. He wanted to see what the device he "robbed" over and what it was.By the way, he also wanted to express his condolences to the wounded soldiers on the three warships.

Half an hour later, the convoy came to the naval base.

After Li Lan got off the car, in the harbor, five or six scientists in white coats had already surrounded the American underwater device. They looked around and looked enlightened.

The arrival of Li Lan interrupted the research enthusiasm of these five or six scientists.After he walked in, he discovered that the underwater device he ordered to rob was actually a small submarine.From the outside, it looks like a large-scale model of a submarine. Except for the ship island, everything else is similar to the reduced submarine.The streamlined shape of the water droplets, the propulsion device, and some strange protrusions on the surface.

"This thing is really good. These bumps are sonar sensing devices, and there are two 360-degree cameras on them. Data transmission and control are all carried out by lines. If this thing enters the gourd bend, then our situation here , It will no longer be a secret."

Hearing the explanations of these scientists, Li Lan's curiosity suddenly diminished. This thing is not very unusual, and many countries have it.It is just an anti-submarine means, and many countries have such means.

"Then is this thing valuable to you?" Li Lan asked.

"Of course it is valuable. This hull itself is not simple. According to my estimation, it should be a very advanced pressure hull. When necessary, it can go directly to the deep sea at least 8,000 meters deep. I estimate that in the future The new submarines of the United States should also use this high-pressure material."

"There is also the electronic equipment inside. I think the value inside is not small. There should be a lot of the latest American scientific and technological achievements in such a big guy. You can see the whole leopard at a glance. Even if this thing is not useful to us, it will help. Because we have a better understanding of the current level of technology in the United States."

"This will also help us develop similar equipment and provide a very good foundation. After all, with this device, we can carry out long-term undersea monitoring of some important sea areas and monitor the submarines that are lurking in the past. This is not needed. The battery does not need to be supplied. As long as the line is connected, it can be used in the seabed for a long time. Electricity can be provided directly through the control line. As long as it is maintained once a month, it is enough."

"Yes, with this thing, it can complement the dolphins. A mobile patrol and a long-term latent detection will greatly strengthen our anti-submarine capabilities. At that time, as long as we always pay attention to the changes in the electromagnetic environment of the earth, it will be a silent submarine. Coming here, I can't escape detection."

"This thing can also assist the dolphins in completing the task of recording and drawing seabed images. It will play an important role in accelerating our navy's ocean-going and global naval strategy in the future."

...

Listening to the answer after sentence, Li Lan didn't understand those professional things, and only understood some of the functions of these things.When the scientists could no longer speak, he said: "Since this thing is useful to you, let it be handed over to you to study."

Seeing the joy of those old scholastic faces, Li Lan shook his head helplessly.At this time, the three warships had already entered Hulu Bend at one time, and with the help of the tugboat, they berthed beside the shipyard.

These three warships can be restored to combat effectiveness as long as they are repaired. All Li Lan needs to pay is some time and base funds.As for the three U.S. warships, especially the Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser, it may not be easy to repair them. The most likely thing is to dismantle them directly.

After the three warships docked, the ambulance was already waiting in the port. Fortunately, there were only a dozen seriously injured people. They had been treated before the warship docked.The other crew members were all ordinary knocks and bruises, which was not a major problem.

Li Lan personally shook hands with these crew members one by one, affirmed their courage and dedication, and gave each of them a one-month holiday and a three-month allowance.

After contacting the crew, Li Lan left the military port after watching the three warships enter the shipyard for maintenance.
