"Colonel Hardy, as an ally, I have to admit that the Star Organization needs help now!" The stone on the sofa looked at the Iranian man in front of him with a solemn expression and said. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Help? Mr. Zhang, as far as I know, your country's army is encircling the Kenyan invading force in Lower Juba State, and there is a mechanized infantry regiment that has penetrated deeper into Kenyan territory and is invincible. Hardy frowned, "I don't see where you need help. ”
Although Hadi is the Iranian head of the Aesop Joint R&D Center, he has access to any intelligence information about Somalia obtained by Iranian intelligence at any time.
The sudden outbreak of the Soken War has taken Iran by surprise, and many people are worried that Somalia will not survive and will be wiped out by Somaliland and Kenya. At that time, the hundreds of millions of dollars Iran had invested in Somalia and the huge amount of effort it had spent before were all in vain. At that time, there were two opinions in Iran, one was to withdraw the Iranian experts from the research and development center in Batada town to prevent these elite scientists belonging to Iran from being damaged in the war, and the other was to provide assistance to Somalia, at least to ensure that most of the territory of Somalia is not occupied by the alliance of the two countries, and to ensure the existence of the Somali regime.
Incredibly, just a few hours later, a sudden change occurred in northern Somaliland, and more than 10,000 troops rebelled and surrendered. At this time, international observers, as well as Iran's International Military Intelligence Analysis Center, concluded that Somalia could end the war as a victor in a week to a month without the intervention of other forces.
In this way, the two conflicting opinions in Iran will be eliminated, and the rest will naturally focus on the development of the situation, and there is no need to end the research and development center research and too much interference in the Soken war.
However, just when the situation in Somalia was very good, Zhang Sanshi, the military leader of the Star Organization, actually approached him and asked for Iran's help. How does this not surprise Colonel Hardy?
"Colonel Hardy, you must also know that in this damn war, Kenya is just a clown, and the black hand behind them is what really worries people. Once things develop in an uncontrollable direction, the safety of Somalia and the Star Organization will not be guaranteed. Shi said in a sincere tone, if it weren't for the reminder of the boss Li Mo, he would not have thought of coming to the Iranians. Although the Iranians are allies, they are mainly allies who share the external pressure caused by nuclear weapons. However, Iran has no reason to get involved in this matter. An ally is not a nanny, and the word 'ally' is only deserved when the interests of both sides coincide in some areas. Otherwise, that agreement is about the same as a piece of waste paper.
"You mean...... United States? Hardy was taken aback, and his voice couldn't help but be high-pitched. Then the brow furrowed again, the US political axe has a great deterrent effect on any organization.
Fifteen hours have passed since the outbreak of the Soken War, and Somalia has now taken the initiative from the beginning when it was unfavorable. It can be said that if there are no accidents, the final victory of Somalia in the war is a foregone conclusion. But in this war between the two countries, another superpower is involved, the United States.
Because of pressure from the United Nations, the African Union, and some other countries, perhaps to find a reason for this war. The Kenyan authorities have made public the 'wanted list' that Obama handed over to Somali Foreign Minister Moussa for major events in Somalia, and have also attached some evidence about the planning of the terrorist attack at the US Embassy in Kenya by the Star Organization led by Li Mo.
Although the so-called evidence is nothing to be said or even testified, the terrorist attack on the US Embassy in Kenya last year caused a lot of stir at the time. Moreover, after the terrorist attack, Radio Al Jazeera Somalia broadcast a recording in which Comrade bin Laden personally admitted responsibility for the incident. Almost everyone believes that the terrorist attack at the US embassy has something to do with al-Qaeda. Half a year later, the Kenyan political axe actually linked this matter to Li Mo's star organization, and the hidden things in it are intriguing.
Several statements issued by the U.S. political axe in the early morning of the 7th Mogadishu time show that the U.S. political axe played a very important role in the sudden outbreak of the Soken War.
Could it be that the US political axe is planning to carry out another 'Operation Enduring Freedom'? The current political axe in Somalia is not a 'rogue regime' recognized by the United States, so what benefits can a military attack on Somalia bring to the United States?
The intelligence services and think tanks of all countries are analyzing what role the US political axe played in this war, and what benefits do they hope to obtain?
Unlike previous local wars caused by the United States, this time the Soken War was not led by the US political axe, but by Kenya and Somaliland. Or is it that the US political axe has concerns about this matter and intends to muddy the waters in this way, and then fish in troubled waters?
The situation of the war is gradually becoming clear, but there are still countless mysteries that confuse the eyes of the world.
Iran, as an Islamic country, has always regarded the Western world, led by the United States, as a potential enemy. In particular, the ending of the old rival Iraq has made Iran's vigilance against the United States carved into its bones. and even become the number one enemy of Iran. Under such circumstances, Iran is cautious about any matter in which the United States is involved in leading the matter, and analyzes and judges the purpose of the matter in all aspects. And the Soken war, naturally, will make Iran pay attention.
However, according to the analysis of the data obtained by Iran so far, the US political axe will not directly use military means to intervene. This is because the US political axe has tried its best to avoid direct contradictions in many African affairs. In the US global strategy, Africa's position, comprehensive strength, historical issues, and other factors make it not attach much importance to it, and it is not the focus of the US global strategy at present.
Although the United States is strong, it also needs some strong momentum to wave the flag. Africa, especially North Africa, is the traditional sphere of influence of European countries, and the complexity of relations in it is more troubling than elsewhere. The US political axe does not want to take action here before other key strategic issues are resolved.
The result of the analysis of Iranian think tanks is that it is very likely that the US political axe will not intervene in the Soken war, at least not militarily. And now, judging from Zhang Sanshi's solemn demeanor, there are still some places that Iran has not discovered.
"Yes, Colonel Hardy." Stone nodded, "Five hours ago, John, who belonged to the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier battle group? Paul? The USS Jones missile destroyer left the Bahrain base abruptly, and based on some intelligence, we can conclude that the missile destroyer was intended for the sea somewhere around Somalia. ”
Stone was in a heavy mood when he said this. He used to be a Chinese soldier, and he knew more about the power of beauty than ordinary people. Even if he didn't have a direct collision with the U.S. military. But under the influence of the ears and eyes, I also know the strength of the United States.
"Does the United States really intend to get involved in the war?" Colonel Hardy exclaimed in horror. A guided missile destroyer is a force that is difficult for Somalia to resist. Moreover, as far as Colonel Hardy knows, the main task of the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier battle group is to strike at Iraq's counterattack forces, support the US forces in Afghanistan, and deter countries in the Middle East by force. Since the rumors of the planned withdrawal of the US military from Iraq came out, the main task of the 'Nimitz' aircraft carrier battle group has been to deter Iran. What is the purpose of sending a guided missile destroyer to Somalia now? You must know that in the Gulf of Aden, the US Navy also has a missile cruiser and a missile destroyer. If this guided-missile destroyer is added, the force deployed by the United States around Somalia is enough to pose a deadly threat to Somalia.
If the United States does intervene militarily in the Soken War, where will Iran go from here? As early as the Iran-Iraq War, after a US missile cruiser shot down an Iranian passenger plane and killed 290 people, the relationship between the two countries was instantly cold and gradually drifted farther and farther away. And with Iran's secret research on nuclear weapons in the 21st century, the contradictions between the two countries have become more public.
At present, the foreign policy of the United States is to maintain the current political and economic system, and preventing the emergence of a state that undermines the authority of the United States has become the top priority. Iran's desire to develop nuclear weapons and become the 'leader' of the Middle East is completely contrary to the US strategy. In particular, in such a sensitive region as the Middle East, the US political axe will never allow the emergence of an uncontrolled 'leader'; Saddam Hussein tried in vain to control the Middle East and become a force to be reckoned with in the world, but in the end, Iraq was captured by NATO troops, and his own whereabouts are unknown. Iran cannot follow Saddam's old path, and if it wants to become a 'leader in the Middle East', it must have the power to make the United States and other Western countries fall into the trap, and today, nuclear weapons are one of such forces.
The United States and Iran have repeatedly clashed head-to-head diplomatically, and a series of consequences have been triggered by the fact that the contradictions between the two sides have become more and more difficult to ease. This is why Iran is actively engaged with North Korea and Venezuela to deepen their relations. In particular, the establishment of an 'anti-American base' with Venezuela, the provision of funds and arms to Iraqi guerrilla organizations, and the subsequent alliance with the Star Organization, all show that Iran's political axe has made up its mind to wrestle with the United States.
In 03, under the pressure of diplomacy, especially the United States and other countries, Iran stopped a series of research on enriched uranium and signed the "Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons", but in 05, after obtaining some important equipment and research materials from the nuclear weapons base, Iran restarted the secret research on nuclear weapons. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has repeatedly stated publicly that he will never succumb to Western pressure on the nuclear issue. And as far as Colonel Hadi knows, Iran is preparing to secretly conduct a nuclear weapons test this year, and if it succeeds, Iran will become a new nuclear-armed state. And the East in front of him and the forces he represents are allies who can help on the Iranian nuclear issue. When an ally is in trouble, do you want to help?
Even if Iran, an ally, is to come to the rescue, then in which way? It would be impossible to bring Iran directly into the war against the United States. Colonel Hardy silently analyzed in his head.
