Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 862 Take Obama to the National Defense Exhibition

Three months later, Obama, who was under tremendous domestic pressure, finally arrived in the capital of Somalia under the attention of the people.,,

For today's trip to Somalia, Obama has been preparing for three months, and, as far as possible, withstand the huge domestic opposition and arrive in Somalia as scheduled.To this end, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the massive support of the domestic people to complete this trip.

Somalia has made various preparations for Obama’s arrival. In accordance with the highest diplomatic etiquette, Vice President Farah personally picked up the plane at the Bagua City Air Force Base, and held the highest-level welcome ceremony at the airport.

Obama's itinerary is also provided with the highest level of security, and this treatment is only the etiquette available when the top leaders of China and Russia visit Somalia.

When the Obama motorcade arrived at the gate of the base, Li Lan also took Lin Meiqi to wait at the gate of the base to greet Obama and his party and the first lady of the United States.

After raising the flag, reviewing the honor guards of the three services, introducing personnel, and welcoming ceremonies, the teams of the two sides also immediately held several hours of talks. The content was nothing more than official words, which did not have much practical significance.

If it weren't for this is the first contact between the high-level governments of the two sides, the talks would not last so long.

After the formal meeting, the following activities were a bit surprising.In the afternoon, Obama and Li Lan did not have a formal dialogue. What was unexpected is that Li Lan and Lin Meiqi took the Obamas to visit the gossip city.

Climbed to the thirty-two hundred-meter-high Guangling Tower, the most iconic building in Bagua City, visited Bagua City University, and had academic exchanges with students from Bagua City University.

A series of activities down.One day passed, and the evening was the welcome banquet.Li Lan and Obama did not have any private exchanges.This makes countless waiting eyes, very disappointed.

but.After the welcome dinner, a piece of news finally came out. Tomorrow Li Lan will individually invite Obama to visit the second Somalia National Defense Exhibition, which will begin tomorrow.

It was not that the two sides had nothing to say, but that they had carefully prepared for this conversation.

However, when people who were curious wanted to book tickets for the Somalia National Defense Exhibition, everyone discovered that the tickets for the first day were sold out two months ago, and even the tickets for a week were connected.It's all booked.

It was hard to wait for the two heads of state to hold talks, but did not expect that this would be the result, which directly caused a large number of media organizations to beat their chests, and even those military media who booked tickets early were ecstatic.

The next day, Li Lan and Obama’s motorcade arrived on time at the official opening of the National Defense Exhibition. At this moment, the National Defense Exhibition Hall was overcrowded. Many reporters without tickets were waiting here in the early morning, hoping to get some news.

Even the visitors who have tickets are bought.I hope they can provide some valuable information on the spot, and some people offer high prices and seek the full video of the meeting between the two.

In fact, it is no secret that Obama and Li Lan are going to talk about topics.Ten days ago, after the two foreign ministries formally announced the news of the upcoming meeting between the two heads of state, the main topics of the conversation during the meeting were also announced.

And the reason why so many people are paying attention to this meeting.It is for these questions, it is undeniable.The confrontation between Somalia and NATO has become the most unstable factor in the entire world.It would be better if Somalia did not have nuclear weapons.But the two military groups possessing nuclear weapons are so confrontational that they have to be reminiscent of the Cold War.

The impact of the Cold War was huge. What civilians care most every day is whether there is tomorrow or how they can run into the air-raid shelter as soon as possible.

Now, many people have begun to experience the emotions of the Cold War period. After the official establishment of the East African Community, too many interested people spread rumors of the Third World War, and various opinions and analyses have emerged one after another.

Now that there is finally a way to resolve this crisis, it will inevitably attract a lot of attention. The international tensions have also eased a lot because of Obama's trip.Everyone seemed to see the dawn of peace in the future, and their ups and downs temporarily calmed down.

Most of the eyes of the world gathered. With thousands of people watching, Li Lan and Obama got out of the car at the same time. Two people of about the same height walked side by side and walked in toward the gate of the exhibition hall.

When the two disappeared at the gate of the exhibition hall, the onlookers did not walk away, but waited quietly.

After entering the exhibition hall, Li Lan and Obama did not start to talk about the subject, or that the two came here, and they were not here to discuss business matters.The formal meeting was in the afternoon. This morning Li Lan invited Obama to visit the exhibition, which is essentially an event.As for speculation from the outside world, neither party meant to explain, nor was it necessary.

Following the entrance of the exhibition hall, I quickly saw the first weapon in the indoor exhibition hall. Li Lan instantly became a commentator and introduced Obama to the development and performance of the weapon.

"This is a self-propelled artillery specially designed by our Future Technology Group for the army's heavy forces. The codename is Calamity. As you can see, on the left and right sides of the turret are two 155mm plus howitzers. The body adopts a rollable front and rear double hull. , Four independent track systems are powered by an engine, the combat weight is 80 tons, the maximum effective range is 80 kilometers, and the two barrels can shoot at different or the same targets at the same time."

The first thing is a giant, a very weird-looking heavy crawler self-propelled artillery. On both sides of the turret are two slender barrels. The slender body gives the self-propelled artillery a large caliber ratio.

What attracted Obama the most was the four tracks on both sides of the body, which looked like they connected the chassis of two tanks together. With this layout, he understood a little bit. The biggest advantage is maneuverability in complex terrain. Can climb higher places, the width of the trench will be longer.The biggest disadvantage is the power limitation and maintenance trouble.

However, seeing this weapon like a small house in front of him, Obama's heart is quite heavy. Since such a weapon is on display here.In other words, the problems brought about by this design, the Somalis have been sure to resolve.Maybe this is already a weapon for the troops to be equipped.

Since he accepted Li Lan’s invitation, he came to visit the Somalia National Defense Exhibition together.He is ready to accept everything.The weapon in front of him seemed very deterrent, but it didn't change his face.

On the contrary, he still discussed with Li Lan with great interest. If he hadn't known the identities of the two, he would have thought it was a meeting of two loyal military fans, and there would be endless topics about military weapons.

Standing in front of the Calderer self-propelled artillery for a moment, Li Lan led Obama to continue walking inside and soon came to these two booths. When everyone saw the big guy standing tall in front of them, they all changed slightly. .

The weapon in front of me was too shocking.The bottom is a triangular track with two feet, the top is a torque device like a waist, and the top is somewhat like a human body. The two arms are turned into two weapons that look full of deterrence. As for the head, It is a semicircular sphere integrating various electronic devices.

Looking at the science fiction in front of him, it was more like a robot weapon. Before Li Lan could speak, Obama asked curiously: "How do people get in this thing?"

Take a look.I didn't find the door to enter this weapon. No wonder Obama would ask such a question, and the staff behind them also wanted to know.

Li Lan didn't seem to be concealing what he said.The introduction said: "Future Tank x-1 is a conceptual future ground combat equipment. It does not require personnel to operate. All operations are carried out by the central controller of the weapon itself. It has a defense power no less than that of a main battle tank. , Armed with two arms. It is the deadliest weapon on it."

A very simple introduction, and no more news was revealed.But only one or two points have made Obama feel deeply that the quality of his heart is ready to bear, and now it is almost useless.

Obama has always been very confident about whether he can suppress Somalia.Because Somalia has two major weaknesses, one is the overall national strength, which cannot be resolved in a short time.The other point is talents. The United States has millions of scientific research personnel and hundreds of thousands of experimental institutions. These are the largest reliance on highly industrialized and technologically advanced America.

The United States, which has countless outstanding talents and industrial technological strength, is not afraid of any country even if an all-out war breaks out, because the war potential is too deep.It's just like in World War II, the United States did not have much advantage in the beginning, but in just one or two years, the United States could control the entire war.This has always been American confidence.

Now, Obama has also seen the powerful creativity of Li Lan. As far as the former Calamity Artillery is concerned, he doesn't care about it because the United States can also develop weapons that are equivalent to it. He doesn't care at all.Furthermore, the advancement of a weapon is not enough to establish the victory of a war.

But the sci-fi-like future war machine in front of us is enough to illustrate Somalia's strong scientific research capabilities and electronic technology that is no worse than any country.

Regardless of the fact that Japan has some leading positions in the world in the development of future unmanned weapons of war, the Americans have always been relatively low-key. You must know that the United States has always been a world leader in robotics, with thousands of scientific research studios. Are working on the project.As long as these studios are integrated at the time, it will inevitably lead to the take-off of real technology.

In addition, many unmanned war robots have been fully tested in actual combat. These are the most valuable test data. The United States has always been accumulating.

Therefore, Americans don't care about Japanese research, but the weapons in front of them make Obama feel uneasy.

Compared with the products and theoretical things that are still in the laboratory in the United States, Somalis have put the finished products on the foreground.In front of the robot, Obama still doesn't even understand what the two robotic arms are.

"Is this equipment finalized?" Without taking into account other things, Obama asked brazenly. In fact, he also understood that the reason why Li Lan brought him here was a deterrent to weapons. He was willing to come here, that is, he wanted We need to see how far Somalia has developed, so he doesn't care whether his problems will touch Li Lan's bottom line.Of course, if Li Lan was willing to answer, it would be a good thing, and he would not lose anything if he didn't answer.After all, the United States really knows too little about Somalia now, and knowing a little more is not a small gain.

"There are still some practical issues that need to be resolved. A conceptual weapon may be just an excess. After all, the true effect of a weapon needs to be tested in actual combat." Li Lan said ambiguously.

He brought Obama here, not to reveal his family, he would say what he should say, and he would find a reason to say it, but what he should not say is that he would not reveal a word even if he opened his mouth.

Hearing Li Lan's answer, Obama also took heart, and did not continue to delve into this topic, but took a close look at some details of the weapon.The thinking of politicians is to maximize all benefits. It is hard to come here, so it is natural to observe carefully, otherwise it will not be wasted.

Li Lan was patient, waiting for Obama to look for a magnifying glass to observe. He did not make any urging actions.It was not until Obama had read it thoroughly that Li Lan took the lead and walked towards the third booth.

The third weapon appeared in the eyes of everyone. Compared with the future tank x-1, the next weapon gave a world a different impression.Because this weapon looks too ordinary.A cylindrical body that is no more than three meters away. The top of the cylinder is a semi-circular non-transparent glass cover. On both sides of the cylinder are two twelve-tube revolvers, but the caliber looks very large, reaching forty millimeters. , Two huge bullet chains are connected behind the two cannons, and the other end is connected in the cylinder.

"Gate cannon system, a weapon with good air defense capabilities, with a caliber of 40 mm and a rate of fire of 12,000 rounds per minute." In a simple sentence, Li Lan stated the name of this weapon and two basic data.

Obama next to him asked directly: "This weapon is also an automated weapon!"

"Yes, it's like your country's Phalanx system. This is not an unconventional weapon, it's just a strengthening." Li Lan said.

Although Li Lan's explanation is reasonable, Obama can't believe it. Is it really as simple as Li Lan's words to put such a weapon behind the previous two such novel weapons?

Although he didn't believe it in his heart, Obama did not ask, because Li Lan's answer had already broken his excuse to continue asking.
