Gardo Air Base in Bari State is one of the three largest air bases in Somalia, the other two being Camel Hill Air Base and Wanlaire Air Base. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info these three air bases from south to north, and the aircraft stationed there, can bring the entire territory of Somalia into the air defense.

Of course, these are only assumptions, and at the present time, it is clearly impossible to do so with the strength of the Somali Air Force. After more than a year of development, the total number of Somali air force is less than 1,000, of which pilots are even rarer, less than 30 people, and a considerable number of these 30 people are part-time members of the Meteor commando. In addition to the nearly 10 part-time pilots of the Meteor team, only about 20 of the Somali Air Force have passed the Air Force Pilot Elementary Course.

This time to prepare for the military attack of Somaliland, Li Mo decided to let this immature air force carry out their maiden war, and the training target was the Somaliland army, which had only a part of the reconnaissance planes.

Six MiG-23 and six MiG-25 fighters, a total of 12 fighters, took off at 4 p.m. from the Vanlael military airfield near Mogadishu and arrived at the Gardo airbase an hour later. Here, the pilots get off the plane to rest, and the airport pilots and logistics personnel immediately overhaul and refuel the aircraft. Everyone is rushing to complete their tasks because everyone knows that tonight is a sleepless night.

The temporary squadron leader of this fighter squadron is Zhou Zhenhua, the only meteor member who remains in the Air Force today.

"Jababa...... Hado ......" Zhou Zhenhua raised his hand and glanced at the watch on his wrist, the time was 19:57, three hours after they arrived at the Gardo base.

Hearing the captain's shout, the two black men in flight suits, who were both recuperating in the rest room, immediately opened their eyes, stood up and trotted in front of Zhou Zhenhua, snapped and saluted, and shouted at the same time, "Here!" ”

Zhou Zhenhua nodded with satisfaction, looked at the two young men in front of him who were about the same age as him, and said in a deep voice, "When the time comes, the two of you will start the patrol mission as the first group." I've already said the specific precautions many times, so I'm not going to talk nonsense here. One thing you have to remember is to keep my eyes open, to report anything that is not normal immediately, and to beat Somaliland reconnaissance planes with missiles if they are found to have crossed the demarcation line. ”

"Understood!" Jababa and Hado both looked happy and replied loudly at the same time. Although the two had known for a long time that their group would be the first flight formation to carry out patrol missions, they were still very excited when it came to the end. Young people are extremely yearning for the blue sky, and in the past, in Somalia, let alone fighter jets, even helicopters could not find a few, and most of them were goods that could not fly. Later, the Somali Air Force was established to recruit pilots from all over the country, and the two participated in the registration like tens of thousands of Somali boys who yearned for the blue sky.

If you want to become a pilot, all kinds of audits and inspections are very strict, not to mention physical fitness and physical fitness, that is, culture must have a certain level, and knowing English will stop countless people. However, the two are obviously very lucky, they became one of the first batch of 50 flight cadets recruited, after more than a year of training, they have passed the beginner flight course, perhaps and those ordinary pilots in the air force, they are not comparable surnames, but in a poor and empty country like Somalia, the two are extremely good.

"Get on board and good luck!" Zhou Zhenhua saluted the two and said with a smile. He knew that at this time, the two rookies must be excited and nervous at the same time, and as a commander, he couldn't put pressure on them no matter what, and simple and relaxed words were undoubtedly a magic weapon to relieve pressure and tension.

Under the guidance of the airport command platform, two MiG-25 high-speed high-altitude interceptors flew along the runway equipped with indicator lights into the dark sky.

……

At night, the whole of Africa fell into silence, but there were still a handful of people waiting in the darkness.

As time passed, some people were nervous and excited, while others fidgeted and walked back and forth in their homes.

"Bell ......" Somali Foreign Minister Moussa, who has just finished attending the Council of Ministers? As soon as Sudy took off her clothes and lay down on the bed, the phone rang in the living room. A man in his fifties jumped out of bed like a young man, grabbed his clothes and ran to the living room.

As soon as he answered the phone, after listening to it for a while, Moussa's face turned pale. The call came from the President's office and the content was that at 12 o'clock Mogadishu time, the Somaliland army had crossed the demarcation line. War broke out irrepressibly. He was informed by the staff of the President's Office to immediately go to the Presidential Palace for a meeting of ministers.

Because of the many events that had happened in the day today, Moussa did not return to his home, but was in the building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to prepare for the night, but when he hurried out of the room, he met the deputy foreign minister, his important assistant.

"Your Excellency, the Ambassador of Kenya to our country has arrived, and I was about to call you."

Moussa frowned, what does it mean that the Kenyan ambassador is coming at this time? Because of the conflict between the Paramenchu Army and Kenya, although the two countries have sent ambassadors to each other, the relationship has been lukewarm. Moussa rarely met with Kenya's ambassador.

While speculating on the Kenyan ambassador's intentions, he and the deputy minister went to the meeting room, where the Kenyan ambassador was waiting with two embassy staff.

"Minister Moussa, I'm sorry to disturb your rest in the middle of the night." The Kenyan ambassador said with a smile on his face, without a hint of apology in his tone or on his face. is worthy of being a diplomat, and his face is not red and his heart does not beat when he tells lies.

Ambassador Obama joked that as a diplomat, there is no absolute time to rest. This ambassador should be clear and deeply aware of this. Seeing the Kenyan ambassador's expression, Moussa had a bad premonition in his heart, but he still smiled and laughed.

"Minister Moussa, I am bothering you at this time because I have received an order from my country to submit to your country a list of the masterminds involved in the planning and leading of a terrorist attack that occurred in our country last year, in the hope that your country will extradite the terrorists on the list to our country for a just trial in accordance with the extradition treaty signed by Soken." A sinister smile appeared on the corner of the Kenyan ambassador's mouth, and then he took out a wanted list with a serious face and handed it to Moussa with both hands.

Extradition of terrorists involved in the terrorist attack in Kenya? Mussa originally thought that Ambassador Obama came in the middle of the night for something important, but he didn't expect it to be for such a small matter, although the political axe side may not agree to extradite the 'terrorists' to Kenya for trial, but those have nothing to do with him, do they?

But when Musa glanced at the wanted list casually, his eyes widened. Then he stared motionlessly at the first page of the wanted list, with a photo of an Oriental on it, and a note below: Terrorist suspect Li Mo, a Somali Chinese, is currently the chairman of Somali Xingchen Industrial Group...... Suspected of masterminding the terrorist attack at the U.S. Embassy in Kenya.

After reading through the ten-page wanted list with both hands, Moussa gasped in his heart, what is this damn Kenya going to do? The 'criminals' suspected of the terrorist attack turned out to be all the top executives of Xingchen Company, including Major General Hussein, Chief of the General Staff of the Somali Defense Forces.

"Ridiculous...... This is a blatant frame-up. Not to mention that Chairman Li Moli is a well-known entrepreneur in our country, and General Hussein is the chief of the General Staff of our National Defense Forces, how could he participate in the terrorist attack in Kenya? Ambassador Obama, on behalf of the Somali political axe, I would like to express my strong protest against your country's unwarranted false accusations. Musa jumped to his feet and almost pointed at the Kenyan ambassador's nose and said angrily.

He had never heard of the credentials of a country that could extradite a country's serving chief of the General Staff. Whatever the outcome, Somalia will become an international laughing stock, and he, the Somali Foreign Minister, will become a disgrace to the diplomatic community.

"Minister Moussa, be careful of your words. There is detailed evidence of the terrorist attack on the US Embassy in Kenya, and your country can send people to participate in the trial of criminal suspects in our country, and there will be detailed and conclusive evidence to be handed over to your country at that time. Ambassador Obama seemed prepared for Moussa's reaction and said with a sneer.

"you, I'll protest to your country's political axe about this, and now I'm asking Ambassador Obama to leave, and I'm going to a meeting." Mussa tried his best to resist the urge to give the other party's shameless old face a left hook, almost shouting at the top of his voice. The deputy minister next to him was already dumbfounded, because the wanted list was being thrown at his feet by Minister Moussa, and the photo of Li Mo smiling was so clear in his eyes.

"Minister Moussa, don't be impulsive. I now solemnly ask you, is it your country's intention to refuse to honour the Treaty of Rentilization? Ambassador Obama looked at the red-faced Somali Foreign Minister with a smug heart. But in order to complete the task assigned to him by the country, he still held back a smile and asked in a serious and formal manner.

"No...... Ambassador Obama, as a nation of integrity, we will remain steadfast in our commitment to international law and all legally binding agreements signed by our political authorities. However, for some unjustified and purely slanderous demands, our political axe will not hesitate to refuse. Moussa would have been eager to report the matter to the president immediately, because he found out that it was not that simple, and that it must be a big conspiracy against Somalia by the Kenyan political axe. But as the foreign minister of Somalia, representing the image of Somalia, he replied with anger.

"Oh...... It is a pity that, Minister Moussa, on behalf of the Kenyan political axe, I now formally present to your country a credential because your country harbors the murderers suspected of committing terrorist attacks in our country, which has caused great harm to our political axe and its people, and has led to a series of irreparable consequences; In accordance with the decision of our National Parliament, I would like to solemnly announce to your country, on behalf of the Kenyan Government, that Kenya and Somalia will sever diplomatic relations with immediate effect and that the two countries will be in a state of war with immediate effect. Ambassador Obama solemnly took out a credential from his briefcase and handed it to Minister Moussa with both hands.
