Chapter 475: Prologue 3

The pace of war is getting closer.

During this period, hundreds of billions of dollars in arms orders from oil countries made European and American arms manufacturers happy.

Fighter planes, helicopters, tanks, armored vehicles, and missiles of various types are constantly being transported to the Middle East, and in addition to the time-consuming navy, the land and air forces of Saudi Arabia and other countries have swelled at an extremely terrifying rate.

In addition, the Arab League member states, with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Egypt and other countries as the core, have successfully persuaded neighboring countries such as Djibouti, Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Sudan (Sudan and Somalia are not neighbors, and Egypt's Arab League troops need to pass Guò Sudan to enter Ethiopia and Kenya, posing a threat to Somalia by land) and agree to allow Arab League army units to enter their territory and enter Somalia by land.

Needless to say, Kenya and Ethiopia have a feud with Somalia itself, and their armies that invaded Somalia a few months ago were so defeated by militias led by Ahdi and Yusuf that they had to sign a ceasefire agreement. However, both Kenya and Ethiopia are unconvinced, and the Arab League's use of force against Somalia this time is an excellent opportunity for these two countries to take revenge.

But perhaps because the two countries have fought against Somalia and are wary of the mysterious forces that lurk behind Somalia, or perhaps because the armies of Kenya and Ethiopia are fundamentally inaccessible compared to the heavily armed Arab League army. Therefore, the two African powers have only agreed to allow the Arab League forces to attack Somalia through the territory and airspace of the two countries, and they will not send troops themselves.

Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates naturally don't care. Anyway, as long as they agree to the entry of the Arab League's troops.

The Arab League has built several super-large military bases in Kenya and Ethiopia, and more than two divisions of nearly 400,000 army troops have been stationed in Kenya and Egypt.

In order to guard against surprise attacks by the Somali Air Force on their assembly areas, the Arab League has deployed high-density regional air defense missile systems near the army assembly areas, from the medium-range "Patriot" III regional air defense missile system to the short-range "Avenger" system (the Stinger anti-aircraft missile is placed on the multi-purpose M998 "Humvee" jeep), and has also stationed more than 200 fighters of various types for base air defense.

In addition, Djibouti has also opened its own air base, where the Arab League has deployed more than 100 EF2000 "Typhoon" and F15 "Eagle" fighter jets to contain Somali air forces deployed in the northern Somali city of Hargeisa.

And in Yemen, far across the narrow Gulf of Aden, from Somalia, a landing force of nearly 100,000 men from more than four divisions is also eager to try.

With the dispensable level of coastal defense in Somalia. The 100,000-strong landing force is even more threatening than the Arab League troops stationed in Egypt and Kenya.

Ambush on all sides!

In this case. If Chen Xin wants to strike first and use the air force to attack the army assembly areas of the Arab League, I am afraid that he will have to pay a lot of price.

More importantly, the Somali air forces can only replenish missile weapons from China and Russia. If once the war starts. The League of Arab States is bound to blockade all Somali ports. When the time comes, even if all the ammunition currently in reserve is exhausted, I am afraid that the Arab League's army will not be injured.

Arguably. The Arab League has dealt with Somalia with a lion fighting rabbit and going all out to deal with Somalia, and no one thinks that this small North African horn can turn the tables.

But what is strange is that during this time, no matter what the Arab League moves, Somalia has maintained an eerie calm.

Except for the "Dream" aerospace plane, which has been in the midst of war, and the Somali Air Force has maintained a high level of alert, the whole country of Somalia has not seen any movement.

……

Mogadishu Air Base, Somalia.

The deafening roar of engines resounded over the airport, and eight F-14 Tomcat fighters took off in a wedge-shaped formation along the runway at high speed to take over the F-15 "Hawk" fighters that had just completed their mission to carry out air patrol missions.

Qiao Ting, Ahdi, Youssef and others looked stern and hurriedly walked into the command hall of the air base, followed by a group of military and political dignitaries of the new Somali government.

Chen Xin sat at the top of a silver-white rectangular table in the center of the hall, and when he saw everyone coming in, he smiled slightly and said, "You are all here, sit down!"

The others were slightly stunned, and most of them focused on the silver-white rectangular square table in the center of the hall.

Most of them had been in and out of the command hall of the Mogadishu airbase several times, but this was the first time the strange square table had appeared.

The structure of the table is similar to that of a billiard table, with a concave middle, and no mechanical structure can be seen on the surface, but Qiao Ting, Ai Hadi, and others who have been in contact with Chen Xin for a long time understand that this seemingly ordinary square table is probably also a high-tech product.

Chen Xin seemed to see the doubts in everyone's eyes, smiled slightly, and lightly touched his fingers in the void, and light was softly projected from the edge of the table, showing a three-dimensional sand table image of the sea, land and air in the Middle East and North Africa above the table.

"Huh?"

Qiao Ting, Alhardy, Yousufu and others were slightly stunned, this kind of holographic projection technology, they have seen it many times, Chen Xin solemnly summoned everyone this time, could it be that he just wanted to show everyone this kind of holographic sand table?

Qiao Ting frowned, she found that there were many dots of light on the sand table, the green dots of light were only limited to a corner of Somalia, and the red dots of light were distributed in various places around Somalia, except for the coastline side, almost half of Somalia was surrounded. Obviously, the green dots of light represent the strength of the battle, and the red dots of light represent the strength of the enemy.

Soon, however, she noticed a trace of anomalies, most of which were swimming as if they were alive.

Qiao Ting's beautiful eyes widened, and there was a faint guess in her heart.

Chen Xin stretched out his hand and picked up a red point of light from the sea area of the Gulf of Aden in Shapan, magnified it, and a shocking scene appeared.

In the sky above the sand table, a group of images of the high-speed sea-skimming flight of the two fighters, apparently taken from top to bottom, suddenly appeared, and from the appearance alone, it can be judged that these are two EF2000 "Typhoon" fighters belonging to the Arab League Air Force.

"It's ...... Live shooting?" Qiao Ting took a breath of cold air and asked.

Chen Xin smiled and nodded.

Everyone present was in high spirits. (To be continued......)
