110 km northwest of the city of Baidoa, the city of Golole, Bakool region. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This small city in western Somalia has gained fame for being located here as the only missile (rocket) launch test center in Somalia.
For the Chinese people, Golole is a place of pride, representing the level of Somali aerospace, and for foreign powers, Golole is also a place that must be closely watched, because every move here will indicate the vigorous development of Somali missile and rocket technology.
On this day, the tiny western city of Golor once again ushered in another moment that went down in history.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, the standby missile inspection has been completed, all the data is normal, and it can be ignited and launched at any time." An old man from the West looked solemn and with a look of excitement that could not be concealed, and came to several people and said loudly.
This old man in the West is familiar to everyone around him, he is Paul, a missile expert from Ukraine? Adler, a self-taught engineer at the former Southern Machine Works of Ukraine, specializes in missile power systems.
The huge light yellow missile that was on standby on the launch shelf this time, reflecting the light of the folds in the sun, was in Paul? The results of the research of the ICBM development group chaired by Adler.
Although the missile was fixed on the steel launcher, the aura of murder could be felt from a distance, but among the joyful technicians and security personnel, the 19.7-meter-long missile was angry in the sky, representing their hard work and the sense of honor of defending their homeland and country.
Present at the missile launch ceremony today were Major General Hussein, chief of the General Staff, Major General Li Mo, deputy commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, former President of the Somali Republic Yusuf, and current President Mohammed Mohammed, in addition to several members of the National Defense Commission.
Originally, in this special period, it was impossible for Somalia to bring together so many high-level leaders, and if the United States made a surprise attack at this time, the Somali military and political circles would be completely paralyzed. However, today's missile launch is of extraordinary significance, and once it is successfully launched, it means that Somalia will become the sixth country to officially possess ICBMs after the five permanent members of the Security Council, and it will also greatly enhance Somalia's confidence and deterrence capability under the difficulties and pressures that Somalia is facing today.
Former President Yu Sufu was pushed by Li Mo as the commander of the launch, which made this old man very happy, you know, even in the previous period of government, people in the political axe were rarely able to participate in major military affairs, and the affairs of the military and the Xingchen Group were basically decided by Li Mo, and he also liked to form a group and go alone.
From the viewing platform in the distance, Yu Sufu waved his hand and said loudly, "Ignition." ”
Soon, everyone felt a slight vibration on the ground, and in their eyes, a puff of smoke suddenly erupted from the lower part of the light yellow slender missile.
The huge missile broke away from the launcher at a very slow speed and took off into the air.
From time to time, the monitoring reports of the monitoring center are heard, and so far, the missile is operating normally. Generally speaking, the most dangerous missile launch is within tens of seconds after ignition, and the other is when the engine and warhead are separated, and it is especially obvious in multi-stage propulsion.
At this moment, missiles soaring into the sky from Somalia were discovered almost simultaneously at several ground-based space detection points around the world. In this particular time of war, Somalia has launched long-range missiles on its own soil, which has undoubtedly made many countries nervous.
Is Somalia really preparing to use nuclear missiles?
After receiving this urgent report, the United States, France, and other countries immediately ordered the strategic missile forces to be on duty, and some nuclear missiles that were already on combat readiness and duty had even entered the coordinate parameters of several important urban bases in Somalia; if it is discovered that the long-range missile launched by Somalia is attacking Western countries, then the United States, France, and other countries will certainly retaliate at the first opportunity.
And the US missile defense system deployed around the world has all sounded the alarm and alarm.
"The first stage engine of the missile was successfully separated...... The second stage engine was successfully ignited! ”
"The missile entered the first cosmic velocity...... Enter the highest point of the ballistic, at an altitude of 988 km! ”
On the huge LCD screen, you can see the simulated missile flight trajectory and status, Li Mo is not the first time to watch the missile launch test, so he did not show any surprise and excitement, while Yusuf and Mohammed are different, the two of them are the presidents of a country, but this kind of scene has not been seen by the presidents of many countries.
According to pre-programmed experimental data, the missile will fly in a parabolic shape over the Indian Ocean into the South Pacific Ocean after being launched in Somalia, and its final landing point will also be somewhere in the South Pacific. The straight-line distance is more than 8,000 kilometers.
And when the United States discovered that missiles were flying in the direction of the United States in the Pacific Ocean during surveillance around the world, the Pentagon and White House officials were nervous that the black president had already ordered the US Strategic Missile Forces to launch an offensive several times. But when the Pentagon finally reported that it had calculated that the missile's landing point was on the high seas somewhere in the South Pacific, the black president breathed a sigh of relief.
9300 km, this is the last calculated range of the missile, but not the maximum range, but because of the first test, as far as possible a suitable distance was chosen for launch.
However, after this information was summarized at the top level of the political axes of various countries, it caused a 'sensation'.
What does the number 9,300 km mean? It shows that the missile launched by Somalia just now is an intercontinental missile, and previously, according to sources, the longest range missile in Somalia was less than 5,000 kilometers. Somalia only had medium ballistic missiles before, that is, the threat to the European continent was limited, which is why Somalia wanted to build a missile base in Libya, but now Somalia has intercontinental missiles, that is to say, Somalia no longer needs overseas missile bases, and can directly pose a threat to the entire Europe and the central and eastern parts of the United States from the mainland, and the essence of the United States is in the east, which indicates that the United States has been shrouded in Somali strategic nuclear missiles.
The political axe of Western countries immediately covered up the incident, fearing that leaking it would cause panic among the people. Although Somalia is a nuclear-armed country and also has "Condor" fighters with a range of more than 15,000 kilometers, except for the time when two "Condor" fighters demonstrated on the east coast of the United States, after all, Somalia did not admit it, and the United States did not publicize it too much. The understanding of the general public is still in a vague state, but compared with the 'strategic bomber,' the image of the ICBM in the minds of ordinary people is more intuitive.
Once the public knows that Somalia has nuclear missiles that can strike at home from a long distance, the struggle with the Third OECD will inevitably cause many protests and opposition.
"It worked!" Paul? Adler also said loudly with an excited face.
As a self-taught missile talent, Paul? Adler has never presided over such a major missile shooting project, although the Southern Machine Plant of Ukraine is one of the seven largest missile manufacturers in the world, but those glories are in the past, and they also belong to others. He Paul? Adler is also a marginal talent in the Southern Machine Factory, which is full of talents, and now in the Southern Design Bureau of Ukraine. It is understandable that he was so agitated and abnormal to be able to show his ability and prove himself in Somalia this time.
"It worked!" In the past, he had at most seen at the National Defense Commission or in a certain sub-report that a certain major project had been successful and the experiment had been successful, but what he had dictated to others on paper was shocking and real?
"Hey!" You Sufu suddenly turned his head and patted Li Mo's shoulder in fear, this action made the people around him puzzled.
"Commander Li, I have always believed that it is right to cooperate with you, it was so before, and it is still so. Seeing these changes and achievements, I am even more convinced of this belief. ”
Li Mo was secretly amused, he understood the meaning of Yusuf's words, that is, he supported Li Mo, a Chinese, to take power in Somalia, and his power far exceeded the power of the Somalis themselves. This kind of thing is very unthinkable in other places, Li Mo is an outsider, in charge of the Somali army, and he is like a scholar. All this would have been difficult without Yusuf's support.
However, Li Mo also understands that his rebirth will have an impact on the world that is far more than that. At the very least, Somalia was a chaotic country full of warlords before his rebirth, let alone an intercontinental missile launch test like today, and it was difficult to build a car. Although he wielded great power in Somalia, he brought Somalis far more than a gradual escape from poverty.
"President Yusuf, this is the result of the joint efforts of all of you here and those Somalis who are fighting on the front line of fighting, research, and production." Of course, Li Mo said modestly. It's not bad to impose this credit on him, after all, without him there would be no Star Group, and there would be no Somalia today.
"I think it is right for the state to reward these people who have contributed to the strength of the republic. Commander Li, I know that there are reward rules within the Xingchen Group, but I think this matter is not only related to the Xingchen Group, but also related to the country, don't you say? At this time, the current President Mohammed interjected and laughed.
As soon as Muhammad's words came out, many people turned their eyes to Li Mo. Muhammad's words also have a deep meaning.
"I think President Mohammed's proposal is very good, and not only the political axe, but also the military should praise these technical experts, workers and soldiers who escort missile research and experiments. I think it would be better to take this opportunity to hold a commendation ceremony to make a bigger noise, and to let people know that we in Somalia will not forget our treatment of those who have made contributions. Li Mo said with a smile.
