"According to our current technical level, the first high-power high-energy ground-based laser cannon must be completed before June next year, and the second and third will also start construction within this year. ”

"Yes!" said Defense Secretary Leon Panetta.

O'Ao Guanhai continued: "The second step, next year I hope to increase military spending to more than 900 billion US dollars, in addition to the original military weapons program, we must increase investment in NASA, X-37B, Orion spacecraft, etc. must speed up the progress." ”

"Agreed!"

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

……

The people present raised their hands to express their support for Ao Guanhai.

This is also the proper meaning, after it is determined that the level of science and technology in the war is beyond that of the United States, if we do not speed up the progress of catching up, we can only really wait for death.

More importantly, according to the available intelligence, although the war situation is technically powerful, its scale should not be large, and the United States has national strength and attrition. Back then, even a huge empire like the former Soviet Union was dragged down by the American Star Wars program, let alone a single war.

Ao Guanhai smiled slightly and said, "The first and second steps are all our actions to strengthen ourselves, and the third step is to target our enemies." Although China, Russia, and the war situation have formed an alliance on the surface, the degree of trust between them is not high, and Russia, in particular, should still be able to do a lot of tricks! This needs to be explained to you by Mr. David Petraeus. ”

David Petraeus got up and nodded to the crowd before he sat down and said, "The key to this plan lies in Russia's little brother, Ukraine." Everyone should know that although the pro-Russian Yanukovych is now in power in Ukraine, the forces of the opposition have not dispersed, and they are all waiting for an opportunity to resurge. ”

"When?" someone asked.

David Petraeus said: "Quite simply, Ukraine is very short of money right now. In 2009, the European Union and Ukraine and other six former Soviet republics signed the "Eastern Partnership Declaration", which included the content of the declaration that these countries can sign the "Association Agreement" with the EU after meeting certain standards, and be allowed to enter the European market, and after meeting the conditions for accession, they are eligible to join the EU. The main points of this declaration are twofold: first, the republics will have to pay the price of sacrifice for integration into the European Union. Including currency depreciation. Reduced energy and food subsidies, market opening, tariff reductions, and so on; second, the EU uses aid as a reward for the "integration" of various countries. Due to the financial crisis, the EU has not yet recovered, but Ukraine has figured out how to negotiate the signing of the Agreement on Ukraine-EU Relations to obtain huge financial assistance from the EU. This is an area where the two sides will never get along. The question is. Yanukovych came to power before using EU membership as a bargaining chip to squeeze Tymoshenko out of power. Now we may not be able to pull Yanukovych down by the same means. ”

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton frowned and said: "Even if Yanukovych is pulled down from the presidential throne, as long as he still has the support of the pro-Russian people in eastern Russia, it will still be a big threat in the future." ”

David Petraeus laughed, "That's just right. As long as the situation in Ukraine is chaotic, Putin's character will definitely wade into this troubled water, and at that time, we may not be able to use Ukraine as a bargaining chip to exchange politics with the Russians. In addition, Russia should know that the war situation and China are more closely related, whether Russia is willing to be a junior brother in this pair or not!"

Hillary asked, "So ...... you mean?"

David Petraeus said: "Suppressing Russia and dividing China and Russia! ”

Everyone in the room nodded their heads in agreement with David Petraeus' strategy.

……

Chen Xin didn't know what the Americans thought, and even if he did, he probably wouldn't mind too much.

At this time, he had already flown the Dream Aerospace Plane to Mogadishu to discuss with Ahdi the next reorganization of the armed forces of the Somali Republic.

Wang Xiaoyue went to the newly formed "Three-Body Problem" crew as an assistant director, Ling Wei returned to Jiangcheng, she and Wang Xiaoyue seemed to have a tacit understanding, if one party could not accompany Chen Xin, the other party must not take advantage of the situation.

This made Chen Xinri continue to continue, obviously two beautiful women who were alive and beautiful, after this trip to the capital, I don't know what agreement there was, so he didn't even have a chance to steal food.

After determining that the Americans would not launch an armed attack on Somalia for the time being, the team of PLA instructors who had withdrawn to the escort fleet in the Gulf of Aden returned to Mogadishu to continue the regrouping of the Somali militia.

After fighting with Kenya and Ethiopia, the combat effectiveness of the militia has been clearly expressed - inspired by patriotism, there is enough morale and courage, but the overall combat effectiveness is not far behind the Ethiopian and Kenyan armies.

Therefore, as soon as the war ended, the reorganization of the troops began first.

The militia, which had been expanded to 60,000 as a result of the war, will now be reorganized to 40,000, including 24,000 in the army and 8,000 in the air force and navy.

This does not mean a decrease in combat effectiveness.

This time, Chen Xin will carry out a real modernization of the Somali army.

The army is divided into two integrated divisions, all of which are equipped according to the standards of China's heavy troops. The division has four regiments, one army aviation regiment, one tank regiment, two mechanized infantry regiments, and the rest are artillery battalions, anti-aircraft missile battalions, anti-chemical battalions, reconnaissance battalions and other divisional units.

The Army Aviation Regiment will be equipped with 16 electrified WZ-10 helicopter gunships, 12 Z-18 transport helicopters and 24 Mi-171 transport helicopters, and the tank regiment, infantry regiment and artillery regiment will be equipped with China's latest 99A2 main battle tanks, Type 05 infantry fighting vehicles, PLZ05 Type 155mm self-propelled howitzers. Defender-1 rocket artillery, etc., and the anti-aircraft missile battalion is equipped with the domestically produced Daur tactical anti-aircraft missile system Hongqi-17. The army unit is also equipped with a large number of mobile and flexible Dongfeng Mengshi series jeeps and Jiefang series military trucks, which will use all-electric power and eliminate the original mechanical complex gearbox.

In addition, the small arms of the Army of the Republic of Somalia will be uniformly selected from the foreign trade version of the Type 03 assault rifle, walkie-talkies, grenade launchers, individual heavy anti-tank rockets, etc., which are NATO-standard 5.56 mm rifle cartridges, and anti-tank missiles will be deployed to the platoon.

Such an armed force, even against the main infantry division of the US army. I'm afraid it's not much inferior.

Not to mention the Air Force. After the flight instructors recruited by Osborne from Eastern Europe arrived in Somalia, Chen Xin asked Ahdi to form a training wing composed of 48 two-seat F15 and F14 fighters to help the Somali Air Force train pilots.

The Air Force also used the remaining four thousand men to form an anti-aircraft missile brigade. Armed with Chinese Hongqi-16 medium and long-range anti-aircraft missiles.

The navy has just been formed. Chen Xin has already placed orders with the Chinese government for two 054A-class missile frigates and four 056-class missile frigates through the negotiating team. Six 039B "Yuan" class AIP submarines, twelve 022 class stealth missile boats, and the rest are like tugboats. Armed patrol boats, supply ships and other miscellaneous ships combined, the order price exceeded three billion dollars.

The weapon system is there, but the problem of talent is revealed.

After years of civil war, a gap in domestic education, and the fact that most of the soldiers in Somalia are illiterate, it is almost impossible to really let them use the combat effectiveness of these weapons.

In particular, such high-tech arms as the army aviation forces, air defense forces, missile forces, and naval forces are simply not at the hands of the Somalis.

But Chen Xin has long thought of a solution, so many veterans in China every year, job distribution is a big problem, after communicating with the Chinese government, Chen Xin easily got about 20,000 veterans to work in Africa with an annual salary of about 100,000 RMB.

They will regain what they have learned in the army in a foreign land, and as for whether the Chinese government will mix sand with them in Somalia, and whether they will settle down in Somalia in the future, Chen Xin will not be able to care so much for the time being.

Even so, according to the current integration plan, the Somali army will only become truly combat-ready until at least 2013.

While Chen Xin was still busy on Earth for the reorganization of the Somali army, he did not know that an event had occurred that had a very important impact on the future of him and the steel hammer.

……

The space outside the Oort cloud in the solar system is pitch black, and the vacuum here has tended to infinite, and the particle density is an order of magnitude smaller than that in the space inside the Oort cloud. From here, the Sun has become a bright star, not much different from the thousands of stars in the Milky Way.

At this moment, ripple-like light suddenly scattered from the originally pitch-black space, and in an instant, a silver-white saucer-shaped flying machine appeared in the center of the light.

The aircraft is not large, with a diameter of only about 100 meters, and the overall appearance is streamlined and the surface is extremely smooth.

In the interior of the spacecraft, a place that can be clearly seen is the center of the control, and its center is a holographic projection of the solar system, and the eight planets of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are slowly revolving around the radiant sun in the middle with their inherent orbits.

Around the hologram, nine seats are arranged in a circle, each of a different size, but they all have one thing in common: a hood that resembles a hairdresser at the top.

Under each hood is a body wearing a silver-white bodysuit, with all four limbs, but it looks more or less different from a human.

After the ship flew out of warp, the hoods on the seats slowly lifted, revealing the creatures of various shapes and sizes.

Any human being, when they see them, will probably cry out in horror, to paraphrase the words in "Journey to the West": "Monsters!"

These alien lifeforms are obviously not from the same race, some are extremely short, with sharp-beaked monkey gills, as if they have not fully evolved, and some have heads covered with scales and dark red eyes, which look extremely weird. There is also a single single person who is nearly three meters tall, and although he has a face similar to that of a human, a giant of this level is enough to make people tremble.

The only two who look like humans have a pair of pointed ears, but the rest of them are not much different from humans, with high noses, big eyes, fair complexion, and elegant temperament, and they are a pair of men and women who are very similar to the elves in human legends.

The female elf took the lead in opening her eyes as deep as water, and slowly stood up, her height was at least about one meter seventy-five, and the silver-white tights set off her delicate body even more, her mouth opened and closed, and a series of icy voices were as clear as water, and the ding-dong dong was extremely pleasant.

In an instant, the remaining eight people also opened their eyes one after another.

When the male elf saw the female elf, he immediately touched his chest with his right hand, knelt down on one knee and said, "Osceid, listen to the call of Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

The remaining seven people also knelt down one after another and said, "Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess." (To be continued......)

PS: There is an alien plot in the second half, and Gangyi thought about it for a long time before adding it, and in the future, he can slowly move to the interstellar plot through guò. It's just that this pit is now dug a little deeper, I don't know if you will feel a little abrupt, if you don't like the plot of entering the interstellar space too early, then this paragraph can be regarded as a side story, and the steel hammer will not continue to write in the future, if you think you can, then the steel hammer will continue to write according to your own ideas, what can be guaranteed, things on the earth will never end like this, and the origin of the solar system is not as simple as everyone thinks, how to choose, it's up to you.

Finally, as usual, I asked for a monthly pass, and at the end of the month, I hope to keep the seventh ranking in the category, and I hope that everyone will support.
