Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 354 Strangle the enemy in swaddling

How does it feel to stand on an aircraft carrier that is 330 meters long and sixty to seventy meters wide? The most intuitive embodiment of this feeling is only huge and small.

There are no warplanes on the deck. There are only two carrier-based Nighthawk helicopters to pick up Li Lan and the others. The flat straight-through deck is nearly the size of three football fields. People stand on it as if standing on the shoulders of giants. Little people.

Li Lan has been on the aircraft carrier deck many times, but every time he felt shocked.Other people are even more so, their faces still carry an incredible look at this moment.

Thirty people standing on the deck, just a handful of people, walking on it, will only feel their own smallness all the time.

On the deck, Lieutenant General Iprasin Sulaiman, the navy commander of the Red Police Corps in uniform, was already on the deck waiting for the arrival of everyone. When Li Lan and others walked out of the cabin and looked around curiously, he took a step forward. , Walked towards the crowd.

"Welcome your Excellency the President and everyone to visit the Carlin carrier number 21, my Somali Navy Commander Lieutenant General Sulaiman."

"The general is polite." Except for Li Lan, the others looked like they were eleven lieutenants and hurriedly responded.

"This is the commander of our aircraft carrier battle group and the commander-in-chief of our navy." Li Lan introduced Sulaiman to the seven foreign ambassadors one by one, and also introduced to those Somali regimes who do not know Sulaiman yet. Senior officials.

Sulaiman shook hands with everyone one by one with a smile on his face, and then said: "If you are interested, you can follow me. I will lead you to visit our aircraft carrier."

"my pleasure."

The crowd soon divided into two parts, and Sulaiman took away a large number of people.However, some people did not follow.But after seeing that Li Lan hadn't moved, he stopped the pace of the reward and kept up.

Li Lan glanced at the seven ambassadors to Somalia who remained beside him without leaving a trace.Knowing his heart, he gently touched the general who was sitting at his feet.Then he said: "You guys, don't you want to visit the internal facilities of our aircraft carrier?"

"Don't worry about this. May I ask Mr. President, is this aircraft carrier really built by you? Why..." Yekov said halfway, but did not continue. He knew that these half sentences were enough.

The Russians played an open role, and the remaining ambassadors to Somalia also focused on Li Lan.

"Since everyone is so interested. Today is another happy day, I don't want to hide it." Li Lan said here, winking at Zheng Xing, who was not far away, who nodded as if understanding. Li Lan then continued to speak: "These aircraft carriers were built by us. As for why there was no news before, we naturally have our means. There are too many eyes in the world, but these eyes cannot see the world clearly. Every corner."

Li Lan just stood with her hands behind her back.Nor did they ask these people to find a quieter place, or to a place where they could sit down.Instead, he was directly on the deck, answering this question.

Next to it, Zheng Xing turned out to be the cameraman's equipment.Resist on the shoulders and start shooting.

"Please forgive my curiosity. May I ask if there are still aircraft carriers under construction in your country." Yekov obviously has many problems.There is even a little taste in the words.This is no wonder, in the eyes of Russians.The establishment of diplomatic relations with Somalia is to help.Help the future brother.Unexpectedly, the ideal little brother is so powerful that he will be two heavy aircraft carriers in one shot.So far, the only aircraft carrier Russia has is the Znetsov left over from the former Soviet Union, which is only a medium-sized aircraft carrier.It took off by skidding, and the two aircraft carriers knew that it was a catapult takeoff.Naturally, after being shocked, it is natural to eat in the heart.

"It is the first time for us to develop an aircraft carrier. Today, only these two aircraft carriers have brought together too much energy for us to achieve today's results. As for whether there are aircraft carriers under construction, I can only say that, two aircraft carriers It's definitely not enough." Li Lan replied ambiguously. He didn't plan to say whether there was any.

Yekov was silent, but the others didn't mean to be silent. The Iranian ambassador then asked: "Dear Mr. President, have your two aircraft carriers formed combat effectiveness?"

"A century-old navy, a century-old aircraft carrier, building an aircraft carrier is one thing, and using an aircraft carrier is another thing. Without actual combat tests, I don't know whether my soldiers are capable of actual combat." Li Lan replied.

"Then will your aircraft carrier be sold and at what price?" the Argentine ambassador interjected.

Li Lan said in his heart, if it weren't for selling, I would tell you what to do with so much, and I wish you would buy more.

"Haha! As for foreign trade matters, further consultations are needed. After reaching a certain consensus, there will be no problem with the sale of aircraft carriers."

Selling is naturally to sell, but not now, at least during the war, he will never intend to sell aircraft carriers.Maybe, when the war is tense, the two aircraft carriers for China will be used first.

Some people are happy, naturally others are worried.

Amidst the cheers of the Somalis, the Americans became unhappy. Before the two aircraft carriers had stabilized, the top Americans began to shake.

A large number of photos came, pointing to an indisputable fact, Somalia, the country they are about to launch an offensive, actually pulled out two heavy aircraft carriers with an estimated displacement of more than 80,000 tons, and there are other supporting warships. The naval strength of the two heavy aircraft carrier battle groups has surpassed that of any country except the United States.

Fighting an opponent who is already the fourth naval power in the world, while the Americans were extremely angry, they also felt a little guilty in their hearts.

The U.S. armed forces, navy, air force, and air force that were ready, instantly stopped all actions, and even the countdown to the offensive was stopped.

All eyes were on the temporary presidential palace.In this situation, whether to fight or not to fight.

Barack Obama, the American decision maker, is now even bigger.The disappearance of the Carter has not yet figured out what happened. The original military deployment has come to the countdown to the war, but this kind of thing happened at such a juncture. If it is a guy with a bad heart or high blood pressure, I am afraid it is true. Would not be able to bear such a sudden sense of surprise.

In the temporary office of the president, Hagel and Dempsey stood quietly, watching the first black president of the United States pacing back and forth in the office.

Today, Obama has already become the first sad president of the United States.The fact is similar. In a humiliating terrorist attack, all landmark buildings in the United States were destroyed. The ruins of the White House and the Pentagon, which represent government authority and military hegemony, have not yet been cleaned up.

It just so happened that Li Lan appeared in the world again, stuck in the throat of the United States like a fishbone, still taking root and sprouting, making the United States embarrassed and difficult to swallow.

The most troublesome thing for the United States is that Li Lan's fishbone is getting more and more difficult to deal with. He used to take care of his navy, land and air forces, but now it is more straightforward to assemble an aircraft carrier, not the kind of little guy with a million tons.Instead, it came directly to about 80,000 tons. In terms of strength, no aircraft carrier of any country in the world can compete with it except the United States.

It is difficult to start, but it is like a thorn on the back.

This is how Obama made up his mind. After all, it is related to the future war of the United States. Once there is any negligence, let alone the global strategy, when the time comes, China and Russia will be siege, plus a difficult Somalia, then the United States will still have Good end?

"Fight or not? Give me an opinion!" After walking back and forth almost dizzy, Obama finally looked at the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Council of Staff.One is the president’s military think tank and the other is the minister in charge of the military. Now Obama can only count on these two men to give a pertinent opinion.

"Fight!" Hagel said.

"Don't fight!" Dempsey said.

The two spoke out at the same time, and Obama's head became bigger now, "Talk about it!"

"If we don’t fight now and wait for Somalia to become stronger in the future, then we will no longer have the opportunity to face China, Somalia, and Russia!" As a defense minister who advocates peace, Hagel is now eagerly calling for war. This idea is naturally not Without a target, there must be a very key factor that made him make a decision that went against his will. "Somalia already has two heavy aircraft carriers. We don’t care where these two aircraft carriers came from, but one thing is certain. Somalia now has two. An aircraft carrier, there will definitely be a third and a fourth in the future. No one knows how many aircraft carriers Somalia will build.

And are there other countries involved in the construction of these aircraft carriers?Will other countries buy these aircraft carriers in the future?We have no bottom on these issues."

Having said that, Hagel came to these photos of aircraft carriers, pointed to the hollow deck above, looked at Obama, and continued: "To train a qualified aircraft carrier combat force, the time and money required to invest is very huge. I believe that the two aircraft carrier Somalis will definitely not have time to develop combat effectiveness. It is very likely that the other side does not even have carrier-based aircraft. The most important point is that the other side does not seem to have a supply ship. Therefore, the current Somali Navy is at best. A navy that has not yet grown up, the threat of these two aircraft carriers is not as great as these destroyers.

Time is our opportunity. As long as the opponent has not yet formed combat effectiveness, these aircraft carriers are the living coffins of the Somalis.And there is a very important point. We have assembled three aircraft carrier battle groups in the Indian Ocean. These forces are enough to destroy the Somalia navy.

The enemy must be choked to death in swaddling."
