Early morning of March 21, New York. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Henry, as usual, on his way to work at the company, bought a copy of the New York Times of the day; Just as he was about to see what news was going on today, his eyes widened instantly.

"There was an armed clash in Kandahar, Afghanistan last night, and the 402nd Infantry Battalion of the US Army was tragically surrounded and annihilated by Taliban forces...... Now the city of Kandahar has been reoccupied by Taliban forces......"

On the front page of the New York Times, there was such a headline.

Although Henry didn't know much about military affairs, he also knew the strength of the U.S. military. But the incomparably powerful army, which has always been praised by the political axe, was annihilated by a battalion by the Taliban forces!

He didn't have the heart to go to work anymore, because Henry's wife's brother, a soldier, was stationed in Afghanistan and he had to tell her about it.

This is not only the case in the United States, but also in the United Kingdom's "Times," the Yomiuri Shimbun in Japan, and the German "Bild" newspaper all carried the news that the US military was annihilated by the Taliban in Afghanistan by a mecha battalion.

The eyes of all the people in the world are once again focused on Central Asia, a war-torn and impoverished country.

McChrystal, commander of the US forces in Afghanistan, also reported the surprising news to the US Department of Defense as soon as possible; He immediately summoned senior officers of the US military stationed in Afghanistan to discuss countermeasures.

Just when the outside world was surging for this time, Li Mo and Michael had already arrived in Haugsburg, a small city southwest of Kandahar; This small city, surrounded by desert and next door, has received little attention, even in Afghanistan where the US military is raging everywhere.

Ten kilometres south of Haugsburg, in an endless Gobi stretch, five Humvees are moving.

Sitting on a Humvee in the middle were only three people: Limo, Markle and Omar. Originally, when the Taliban had just occupied Kandahar, it was just the time when we needed to be vigilant, and Omar should not have left Kandahar and ran to this deserted Gobi.

But if you knew that there was a secret Taliban base in this desolate Gobi, you wouldn't look at Omar that way.

"That's it ahead!" Omar pointed to the front left and said with a smile to Li Mo and Michael.

Li Mo's eyes lit up, and they immediately followed the direction that Omar pointed to and saw a city wall made of dirt. At the end of the almost imperceptible highway under his feet, there was a yellow gate, if it weren't for Li Mo's good eyesight and the fact that it was so close, he wouldn't have been able to find that it was a gate.

The Hummer convoy drove outside the gate, and the yellow gate immediately opened. The convoy did not stop and drove directly into the base, which made Li Mo and Michael curious.

After entering the base, Li Mo discovered that this base did not have walls on all sides. It is only available on the east and west sides, and on the north and south sides is a row of tall earthen buildings.

There were almost no human figures in the entire base, if it weren't for the yellow gate just now before it opened, Li Mo saw a one-square-decimeter-wide hole suddenly open on the city wall and a half-masked person inside. He thought he had come to the ruins of an ancient city.

After entering the base, the Hummer convoy drove directly to the south building and stopped. Five soldiers in desert camouflage uniforms were already waiting here.

One of the soldiers at the head of the "Leader ......" had a little moist eyes when he saw Omar getting out of the car. The voice of the voice was choked.

Omar looked at Abdul, who was already in his forties, and his expression was also full of emotion. Abdul was only thirty years old when he was first instructed to guard the base, and in the blink of an eye, it had been ten years.

Omar, who is stuck in his memory, seems to see that ten years ago, when the Taliban were just in charge of Afghanistan, in order to leave a way back for the Taliban forces, Omar ordered the establishment of this base. And some of the military weapons were mothballed here.

The reason for this deployment is that Omar knows that the Taliban are fighting for hegemony by defeating all their opponents and seizing power in Afghanistan. I know very well that in Afghanistan, there are many forces with different intentions. And in today's world, the whole world is inseparable, and the armed forces in Afghanistan, even if they do not have the ability to bring down the Taliban regime, have the strength of the forces abroad. Aren't the Taliban themselves representatives?

The reason why the Taliban was able to dominate the warlords in the first place was because of the support of the United States. Although Omar's education level is not high, he also understands that there is no such thing as a free lunch. A superpower like the United States will definitely not do anything that is not profitable.

Therefore, when the Taliban regime was first established, Omar was also deploying a retreat. The construction and defense of this base was done by Omar's personal captain: Abdul.

Fortunately, everyone is a military man, and there is not so much sentimentality. I just sighed for a while, and then I entered a building next to me that was different from the others.

Although it was scorching outside, as soon as he entered the house, Li Mo felt that the temperature had dropped several degrees. Glancing around, he saw an old air conditioner working in the corner.

The group rested for more than half an hour, and after listening to Abdul's report on the events over the years, Omar took Li Mo and Michael to the north building.

As soon as he entered the tall buildings, Li Mo found that these buildings were not as simple as the outside. From the outside, for example, the entire building is made of mud and sand. But the walls inside are concrete.

I see! Li Mo couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Since Omar wants to build a secret base, he will not use dirt, sand and stones. That kind of architecture is not guaranteed in the slightest in modern society. It doesn't matter if it's used for everyday living. But if it is to be used as a military base, it is absolutely not feasible. Especially in the Gobi, not to mention the sun exposure, there are also strong winds. If it is just earth, sand and stone, it will not take long for these buildings to naturally weather and collapse.

"This is the warehouse where the weapons are stored!" At this time, Abdur also knew what Li Mo and Michael were doing. It is also known that Omar promised to give the two men some of the arms.

In this factory-like building, the group passed through the three gates on the right. Come to a space that is incomparably large.

The most exciting thing is undoubtedly that there are fighter jets parked in this space.

Although Li Mo had seen a lot of planes, he was still extremely excited when he saw the row of ten fighters in front of him.

"In this hangar, there are 10 in front of you, including six MiG-23s and four Su-22s. These 10 planes were captured by various partisans when they were counterattacking the Soviet Union. And then I put them all in this base. I haven't used it! Omar pointed to the 10 behemoths in front of him.

Li Mo and Michael walked under a MiG-23 with excited faces. Look at this aircraft that is 4.82 meters tall and 15.88 meters long. He sighed incessantly.

Although the MiG-23 fighter, by American standards, belongs only to second-generation fighters. But this kind of aircraft is very backward in today's world, especially among military powers. In the eyes of Li Mo and Michael, it is a good thing that can be met but not sought. And the remaining four Su-22 fighter/attack aircraft, slightly shorter than the MiG-23, but almost three meters longer.

The biggest advantage of these two aircraft is the variable swept wing technology used first. This allows the swept wing to be controlled by humans or computers, and to change the flight of the large or small swept wing when flying at high altitude or low altitude.

Li Mo, who was excited, suddenly thought of a question. That is, these planes have been mothballed for ten years, can they still be used today?

Li Mo immediately brought up this question.

Omar is also not very clear about Li Mo's problem. After all, he usually has a lot of things to do, and he rarely cares about it.

Abdul replied with a smile, "These 10 planes are perfectly capable of flying." When the base was first established, the chief sent some of the maintenance personnel who had studied with the Soviets here. Because the 10 fighters in front of you are all advanced aircraft in the base. We've been spending our limited funds on maintaining them! ”

Li Mo and Michael were relieved. As long as you can fly. In the specific situation, just transport the plane back and check it.

Next, Abdul led the crowd to see the planes and tanks that were going to be given to Li Mo and Michael.

In total, 6 MiG-25, 6 MiG-23, 4 Su-22, three Mi-24 helicopter gunships, as well as 26 T72 tanks.

After walking a long circle, the ground and the ground ran underground. After Li Mo finished watching, he didn't know how big this base was.

I thought of that base in Africa. Look at this base again. It's just a small thing. An Afghan regime could have built a base of this magnitude ten years ago, so what about their military bases like a world power? Li Mo didn't have to think about it to know that he must have used the words safe, secret, and complex to the fullest.

The strength of the Star Organization is still small!

After watching Omar, he hurriedly left the base with several of his men. There are still many things to deal with in Kandahar.

This time the Taliban recaptured Kandahar, which was a naked slap in the face to the United States. In addition, one machine infantry battalion, except for the first machine infantry company, was either wiped out or captured. The US political axe will never give up on this kind of shameful humiliation.

Therefore, Omar has to go back to deploy for the next retaliatory strike by the United States.

As for Li Mo and Michael, they stayed in the base.

Although these weapons are covetous, how to transport them out has become a concern for Li Mo and Michael.

Even in the ordinary, so many fighters and tanks. It is also impossible to quietly transport it out of Afghanistan. Not to mention that Afghanistan today is a tense period of rumors. U.S. intelligence organizations around Afghanistan must have laid out an airtight intelligence network for this kind of period. If the United States discovers these planes and tanks, it will be a catastrophe for the two of them.

"Li, these weapons can be left here for the time being, and then transported after the wind has passed!" Michael's network in Afghanistan, albeit huge. But with so many behemoths, he can't do it if he wants to transport them out secretly and safely.
