Red Alert Somalia

"Reported that a carrier-based helicopter in Somalia is approaching."

Harris had just reported the intelligence and analysis to the Department of Defense, and the assistant knocked on the door to report.

"Look at it." Harris picked up the military cap on the table and walked directly to the deck.

Just walking on the deck of the Blue Ridge, Harris saw an approaching black spot in the far northeast. He took the telescope handed by his assistant, and the black spot in the distance was clearly presented before his eyes.

"Go ahead, it's the special plane of the President of Somalia, don't intercept it." The moment he saw the helicopter, Harris immediately ordered his assistant.

"Yes, General."

After the assistant left, Harris also put down his binoculars and walked towards the cab of the Blue Ridge.

"Turn to the announcement channel, I want to talk to that helicopter."

"The call channel has been tuned to an international public channel."

Harris nodded, picked up the intercom and said: "I'm Admiral Harris, Commander of the Seventh Fleet of the U.S. Navy. We are conducting exercises. In order to avoid misunderstandings, please leave my exercise area immediately."

If facing ordinary people, Harris has no need to talk about it himself, but Li Lan is probably sitting on the helicopter, and he doesn't want to be said that he is impolite.To report his identity is to tell the other party that he respects you enough, and also to let the other party not be too much.

The helicopter quickly replies: "I am Lin Qishan, commander of the Somali Navy's Third Fleet. The area we are in is an international public navigation area and is a legal flight. There is no need to be restricted by any country."

"Asshole, shamelessly." Harris put down the intercom.Looking upset, he ordered: "Send two helicopters to follow."

On the helicopter, Lin Qishan was accompanied by Li Lan. The original plan was to inspect the entire fleet and check the Vietnamese oil drilling platforms that were successfully occupied.After the helicopter took off, Li Lan asked to change the course to see the huge combined fleet of the United States, Japan and South Korea.

"Commander, I think it is still necessary to send fighter jets to escort. We come alone like this. It is still too dangerous." Lin Qishan put down the microphone and couldn't help suggesting.

"No, we are here to enjoy the scenery, not to confront each other." Li Lan waved her hand and continued to look at the huge fleet on the sea with the telescope in her hand.

The United States is worthy of being the world's No. 1 Navy, and its huge fleet is indeed very stressful, and its visual impact is strong enough.but.Now Li Lan can't afford any envy, because his navy has the scale he sees, unless the United States mobilizes two more aircraft carrier battle groups, otherwise he is really worthwhile.

"Two U.S. military helicopters are approaching and intend to drive us away." The pilot in the front row reported.

"There is no need to care. We look at ours and they do theirs." Li Lan instructed.

There are only two helicopters of each other here. They are already close to the periphery of the coalition fleet. There are US Hawkeye early warning aircraft and Super Hornet carrier aircraft above the helicopters. Two more helicopters are just trying to drive them away.

"Lin Qishan. If we had a military conflict with this fleet at this time, what would you do?" Li Lan asked suddenly.

Lynch Hill did not hesitate.Immediately replied: "I will send fighters over to cover us to leave as soon as possible, and then take the fleet out of contact with each other immediately, and mobilize all land-based aviation support as soon as possible, until you are sent to a safe place. ."

Li Lan shook his head and said, "If there were no me, and you were in charge of military affairs in the Third Fleet, what would you do?"

This time, Lin Qishan did not answer immediately. Regarding this question, he already has a variety of plans in his mind. He is sorting out these plans and selecting the most reasonable method. "Such a large-scale naval encounter, whether it is our aircraft carrier or the other party. All of the aircraft carriers are within the combat radius of the opponent’s carrier-based aircraft, and there is no sense of surprise. Once a war is encountered, there is only a collision between strength and strength."

Speaking of this, Lin Qishan changed his voice and said: "However, I will not choose to head-on with the other party at this time, because I only have one aircraft carrier and the other party has three. In all respects, the force is three times ours. I will take a defensive position at the beginning, the carrier-based aircraft will take on the defense of the fleet, use our anti-ship missiles to make our fleet and the opponent's fleet apart, and then wait for our first and second fleets to arrive in the theater and face together This powerful enemy."

Hearing Lin Qishan’s answer, Li Lan’s face remained as usual, and said: "If I were the commander of the US military, I would not give you any chance. I will dispatch all the fighters as soon as possible, press in across the board, and resolutely kill them at the first time. Your aircraft carrier and the two most threatening unnecessary ships, how do you defend this?"

"The three Nimitz aircraft carriers can dispatch up to a hundred fighters at a time, plus the Aegis ships that went forward. In addition to facing the hundred and twenty Super Hornets, I also have to face dense anti-ships. Artillery. In addition to organizing the air defense of the fleet, in the first wave of attacks, I can dispatch up to forty fighters to defend the airspace, but I can use land-based aviation as long as I can hold on for an hour. The reinforcements will arrive. The critical time point is one hour from the beginning of the war."

Lin Qishan weighed the tactics and weapon performance data of the two sides in his mind, and continued: "In this hour, I may lose more than half of the warships, but the anti-ship missiles I counterattack can also kill the cruisers and destroyers outside the opponent. ."

"This hour has not been so easy, the first wave of 100 fighters, the second wave of at least 80, and the third wave of 50. And these three waves, according to the efficiency of the US aircraft carrier carrier aircraft, will It will be completed in the next hour, and if each of these three batches of fighters carries two anti-ship missiles, I can tell you that your fleet will lose more than 80% before the carrier-based aircraft arrive. "Li Lan said solemnly.

"The other party has an overwhelming advantage, and when the two sides are so close, I have almost no room for change." Lin Qishan said helplessly.

"Indeed, the topic I gave is very unfavorable to you, and it makes you completely unable to use it." Li Lan nodded, changing her voice: "But war is like this, there is no real fairness, is it fighting? Before, did both sides have the opportunity to line up troops? It was a flag game, not a war. Therefore, the more extreme the environment, the ability of the commander can be tested best. Now, you are the commander of the Third Fleet , I hope you can take on the command capability of the entire fleet at any time."

"Keep your humble job in mind, and you will never be disappointed." Lin Qishan said immediately.

"In the future, I will also think about how to break through the US military's aircraft carrier battle group, and also think about how to increase my advantage in naval battles." Li Lan continued.

"What do you mean?" Lynch Hill asked.

"What I mean is very simple. If we and the United States continue to fight like this, there will be a war sooner or later. We are not the Soviet Union, and we will not instantly turn decades of accumulation into a bubble. The US Navy has dominated the world's oceans for decades, and we belong to Latecomers do not have any advantages in terms of experience, intelligence, environment, etc. Therefore, you generals, in addition to thinking about how to use tactics, must also consider other factors, and strive to eliminate any inequities. Level up." Li Lan said solemnly.

"Humble job understands." Lynch Hill said.

"Let's go! Continue the planned itinerary." Li Lan nodded, put away the binoculars, and ordered the driver.

In the combined US-Japan-Korea fleet, Harris slowly recovered his expression after watching the blue and white helicopter leave.

"Commander, it seems that Li Lan is really on top." Harris' partner, Robert Thomas, who was also the deputy commander of the Seventh Fleet who had just taken office, came over and said.

"It should be! Otherwise, who else would just come and see us." Harris replied.

"If Li Lan was really on top, it should have been a good opportunity just now." Thomas pointed out.

"I understand what you think and what the Congress thinks, but you can really guarantee that Li Lan is on it. What if it's just a bait?" Harris pondered, "If this is just a test for Somalia, it's very It may cause a nuclear war, and we cannot afford to bet on it."

"Is it so complicated? In the entire surrounding area of ​​Vietnam, who else can be accompanied by Lin Qishan, the commander of the Third Fleet, and this helicopter is indeed Li Lan's special plane. If we can kill Li Lan, what can Somalia have to worry about? "Thomas said.

"Your idea is really tempting, but we can't afford to bet, do you understand? Even if those guys in Congress really dare to think so, they dare not really give such an order. Unless they can really complete a blow to Li Lan We must kill, otherwise we absolutely can't move. Just like this time, if there is no 100% confirmation and Li Lan is on it, we can't do anything." Harris said cautiously.

"Unfortunately, such a good opportunity." Thomas said.

"Yeah! I really want to do it too. Somalia without Li Lan is just an influential country. It is not so much that our enemy is Somalia, it is better to say that our enemy is Li Lan." Harris shook his head, in his heart. Quite helpless, he also wanted to give the order to kill the helicopter just now, even if it triggered an all-out war with Somalia, he was not afraid.

Somalia is a country developed because of Li Lan, and it will once again become lonely because of Li Lan. Without Li Lan, the United States has many ways to deal with Somalia.However, how could Li Lan's life be so easy to take, there was a mistake that moved his whole body.
