Chapter 483: Declaration of War 3
While China is holding an emergency meeting, high-level officials in Russia, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and other countries are also urgently discussing countermeasures.
Compared with China and Russia, the most depressed are the European countries of Britain, France, and Germany.
You must know that the reason why they support the Arab League, is because they are worried that Europe will be subject to China and Russia on the energy issue in the future, who would have thought that China and Russia would suddenly put forward the establishment of the Eurasian New Energy Investment Bank, which is a good thing to share the cake, although China and Russia occupy the largest share, but as long as they can occupy a place in it, then the future of energy issues Britain, France and Germany can also have a certain right to speak.
These European countries are not the United States, they have long lost their ambition to dominate the world, as long as they can maintain their current status as great powers, so it is not impossible to join the Sino-Russian alliance.
Who would have thought that when a cadre of military and political officials from Britain, France, Germany and other countries was urgently discussing whether they should join the Eurasian New Energy Investment Bank, the Arab League actually took action.
You must know that in this war, Europe has earned a lot of foreign exchange from the oil countries, and how many elite pilots have joined the Arab League Air Force in the name of mercenaries with the tacit approval of the government.
Now that war has broken out, it is impossible for Europe to even dissociate itself from it.
French President François Hollande smashed his glass angrily at the Elysee Palace, and the British No. 5 Downing Street and the German Chancellery were not at peace.
In contrast, the most calm are the Somali government and Chen Xin, who is far away in the depths of the ocean.
“…… In this war, the Arab League faced an enemy who defied the rules of war and moral norms. Ahdi has deployed Somali troops and military equipment in civilian areas in an attempt to use innocent civilians and children as shields for his army. This was Ahadike's last atrocity against the Somali people.
I want the world to know that the Arab allies will do everything possible to avoid harming innocent people, and that fighting a war in a country full of treacherous terrain means that the war will be longer and more difficult than expected.
Only our unwavering conviction can help Somalia build a united, stable State. We come to Somalia with respect for Allah and for the great people of Somalia. We have no intentions in Somalia. We simply want to destroy a terrorist group and restore the Somali people to their grip on the country.
I know that the families of our military are praying for them to return home safely as soon as possible. Tens of thousands of Arab people are praying for the safety of your beloved family members and the protection of the innocent. Because of your sacrifices, you have earned the gratitude and respect of the Arab people. I can tell you that our army will return home as soon as they have fulfilled their mission.
Our country voluntarily participates in this war, and our purpose is clear. The Arab people will not allow the threat of Somali pirate groups with weapons of mass destruction to continue.
Our Navy, Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps are now up to the challenge. So that firefighters, police and medical personnel are no longer threatened in our cities in the future.
War is coming, and a strong-willed army is the only way to shorten the war. I assure you that this will not be a half-operation and that the only acceptable outcome is the defeat of Somalia.
My dear nationals, the dangers facing our country and the world will be eliminated. We will get through this dangerous time and continue our cause of peace. We will defend our country, and we will bring peace to other countries. We're going to win.
May Allah bless the Arab League and all those who defend Muslims......"
His Royal Highness Crown Prince Salman's war declaration continued, and with a "snap", Chen Xin turned off the TV screen and said, "It's really high-sounding!"
said: "Old beans." Air forces deployed by the Arab League at more than a dozen large air bases, including Djibouti International Airport, Addis Ababa Bole Airport, Aden Airport, and Mombasa Airport, have begun large-scale sorties. ”
The steel hammer was on the command platform a few times, and soon, the projection images of major military bases appeared on the holographic projection.
The footage shows that in almost half an hour, more than 500 fighter units began to assemble, showing extremely strong organizational skills.
Chen Xin sneered: "The Arab League Air Force really looks up to us! Putting in 500 fighter planes at one time, is this to push Somalia flat?"
"There are 300 escort fighters, mounted with short-range combat missiles and medium-range interception missiles. In addition, there are 200 'Storm Shadow cruise missiles' on board. According to the information we received from Europe, the cruise missiles should have been equipped with ammunition dispensers and were used against airfields. ”
Chen Xin knew that this kind of ammunition dispenser was extremely vicious, usually consisting of hundreds or thousands of small timed warheads, and the explosion time of each warhead was uncertain. It is impossible to clean it up, and with a few such bombs, a large airport will probably be paralyzed for a day or two.
Somalia has only a few airports, with only Hargeisa and Mogadishu being military airports, and the remaining small airports as backups. These two hundred warplanes equipped with Storm Shadow cruise missiles are enough to completely destroy all airfields in Somalia.
Without the airport, the 300 planes of the Somali Air Force will be equivalent to a tiger with its teeth drawn, and it will only be a prisoner of the Arab League when the time comes.
"The Arab League is a good plan!"
Chen Xin sneered: "Steel hammer, order the fighter unit to take off, those escort fighters can leave them alone, but not a single fighter with ground attack weapons can be spared!"
"Understood!"
Gang's eyes lit up, and he laughed and said, "Old Bean, let those Arabs see the power of our war drones!"
Although this batch of UAVs is composed of retired F14, F15, F16 and other old third-generation aircraft, after careful modification of the steel hammer, the combat power can fully match the F22, coupled with the support of early warning aircraft, tankers, and electronic warfare aircraft behind them, the combat effectiveness they can exert is far from being as simple as one plus one equals two.
The only thing that's slightly weaker is the weapons they're equipped with.
Chen Xin imported 2,000 PL-9 short-range air-to-air missiles and 1,000 PL-12 medium-range interceptor missiles from China to be used as the main air combat weapons, which were not the same level as the air-to-air missiles used in the United States at that time.
It's just that for Chen Xin, these missiles are just consumables, as long as they are enough.
The real ultimate is yet to come. (To be continued......)
