The news of the surprise attack by the Somali aircraft group on the combined fleet of the United States, France and Italy in the Mediterranean Sea was like a drop of water falling into an oil pot, and the whole world was boiling again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

For many small countries, 2010 is really a special year, from New Year's Day to March, only two or three months have passed, but the world's major events one after another, as if there is no end, war-conflict-war, the situation in the sky over the world has been stirred, and there is quite a momentum of a world war.

The French political axe was doing the national air defense evacuation work when it received the news that the aircraft carrier 'Charles de Gaulle' had been damaged, and Sarkozy, the ambitious French president, reacted slightly worse than another black president on the other side of the Atlantic.

"How dare Somalia?" Sarkozy asked aloud in front of Defense Minister Moran, with some hysteria, not knowing whether to ask anyone else, himself, or God.

Throughout the history of the development of the French navy, it seems that it has never been very strong in history, it has always been in the shadow of the Netherlands, Spain, Britain and other countries, and even the old neighbor and old rival Germany was once stronger than the French navy, even if it was a 'fleet of existence'.

In the 20th and 21st centuries, France learned from the painful experience and firmly followed the path of independent military industrial development, while the navy was a key point of France's development.

Although the supreme 'glory' of the US 'global fleet' is suppressed, the French Navy is a well-known military force in the world, and it can also rank among the top five or even the top three in the world.

And this military intervention in Libya is not an opportunity for the French Navy to expand its power and influence abroad? The French Navy is leading the military operation against Libya, while the United States, for various reasons, is only waving its flag behind the scenes, which makes the French Navy unrivaled in the world for a while.

But all this ended in front of a small African country that had repeatedly challenged France's status as a great power. The essence of the French Navy is also the core strength, and the aircraft carrier fleet was first teased by two Somali fighters, which disgraced the world and this time it was even more 'too deceitful', not only sinking an advanced destroyer and a frigate, but also damaging the aircraft carrier "Charles de Gaulle." Had it not been for the small number of Somali aircraft and the fact that most of their ammunition had been consumed in the fighting, and for the support of Western air forces stationed on various Italian islands in the Mediterranean, it would have been uncertain whether the Charles de Gaulle would have survived.

If the 'Charles de Gaulle' sinks, no matter how to retaliate against Somalia, the resignation of the French political axe is already predictable. He Sarkozy will also become a disgraced figure in the funeral of the French Navy, and will be 'forever remembered' by the French people.

The aircraft carrier was fortunately not sunk, but then Sarkozy became angry at himself for having such a pessimistic and glad thought. Who are you? If it were not for retaliation, the president of France, a big country, who was bullied by a small African country and caused such a big loss, this political axe may not have stepped down, but he, the president who urged interference in Libya, will certainly not be able to escape the blame.

"Minister Moran, does the Ministry of Defense have any plans to strike at Somalia? All the ways to get revenge on the damned Somalis, I must send that damned 'East African devil' to the gallows! Sarkozy asked coldly as he glared at the defense minister in front of him like an angry bull.

"President, are you sure it's all the way? Including the use of nuclear weapons? Minister Moran asked uncertainly.

Sarkozy's tone was chosen, but then his right fist, clenched into a fist, swung violently in the air, as if to smash the 'East African devil' in the face.

"France is now under aggression and has been bullied. At this time, I think any means of countering retaliation is appropriate. Sarkozy gritted his teeth and said, "But nuclear weapons can only be used as a last resort, and if there is a conventional way to retaliate, it is better to stay on the launch pad." ”

"Your Excellency, if our country were to act alone, I think the best way would be to land in Somalia for a combination of ground operations and long-range missiles. We began with cruise and ballistic missile strikes covering major Somali airports, military bases, military-industrial bases and other military targets. The Indian Ocean Fleet and the Mediterranean Fleet can be used to attract Somali air and sea military forces, and then the ground forces will be airborne to a certain point in Somalia, and in Djibouti, we can also mobilize a part of the army to cooperate with our garrison in Djibouti to attack Somalia from land...... We can also provide military assistance to Ethiopia, including a variety of anti-aircraft and anti-tank missiles, as well as military advisers to train and guide the Ethiopian army in countering the Somali invasion of Ethiopia. "As early as the first Sofa nuclear crisis, the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff formulated a relevant operational plan to strike Somalia. However, at present, between Somalia and France, France has a numerical superiority in the air, but not a qualitative superiority, and in terms of long-range missiles, France has a considerable number of submarine-launched missiles and cruise missiles, but Somalia also has an unknown number of ground-based missiles, especially the intercontinental missiles that were tested a few more time ago.

Because France is far away from Somalia proper, any way of projecting military force from a long distance cannot ignore the half-way interception of the Somali Air Force, so some of the plans that have been made in the past are no longer appropriate. And it was a new battle plan, in which France had to bear a lot of losses.

Therefore, when Defense Minister Moran spoke, his brows were always tightened, and in his heart, he did not approve of immediate retaliation against Somalia, unless nuclear weapons were used, but he knew that nuclear weapons could not be used easily, France did not suffer a nuclear attack on Somalia, the French people could not allow France to use nuclear weapons, and other countries would not agree to France use nuclear weapons, because that would be tantamount to triggering a nuclear war in Somalia in an all-round way, and then dragging the world into a nuclear war.

But if France does not act, how will the rest of the world and the French people perceive the 'weakness' of the political axe to the outside world?

Minister Moran felt that revenge on Somalia should not be the business of the French government alone.

Sarkozy frowned and chewed on Minister Moran's words, although he didn't know much about military affairs, he could also hear that the 'battle plan' in Minister Moran's mouth was not new and surprising at all, and it seemed that it was not a war with an African country, but a war with the United States. But he had to admit that because of the current superiority of the Somali Air Force, France had to make its plans more conservative if it wanted to fight directly against Somalia itself.

The thought of Somalia's fighter jets, which could intercept the French troops on French doorstep, made Sarkozy feel a pang of irritability.

Suddenly, his mind moved, and he asked, "How about it if it comes up with the United States or directly within NATO, and joins other countries to attack Somalia?" ”

"Your Excellency, if so, the certainty of success will increase. But we also face the risk of nuclear war, unless we completely destroy the Somali nuclear counterattack in the first strike. But that is not possible, because Somalia has the kind of 'Phantom' fighter that can be used as a strategic bomber. We have no way of knowing exactly how many of these warplanes Somalia has and where they are staying. Once the many countries we have gathered carry out a strike on Somalia itself, Somalia will face the risk of national extinction and will definitely take risks. Minister Moran hurriedly stopped President Sarkozy's thoughts, and he felt that the hard-line realization of the Somali strategic air force's raid on the fleets of the three countries in the Mediterranean Sea this time would not necessarily agree to join France in attacking Somalia itself. In the military intervention in Libya, Britain only sent two warships to deter Libya in the western Mediterranean, and in the operations and confrontation between the US Air Force and the Third OECD Joint Air Force in the Persian Gulf, Britain did not participate, and Britain only increased its military investment in Iraq and Afghanistan, similar to Germany. Instead of directly confronting the Third OECD, these two major NATO forces have chosen to cooperate in another way.

Now it seems that these two countries were a little more prescient than France. At least now it is the French Navy and the US Navy that are lost, not the British Navy and the German Navy.

This strange thought flashed through Moran's mind, and he continued, "Of course, we have to respond strongly to this obvious signal of war from Somalia, but I think we can do it in another way, and that is to divert the Somali Air Force, which is the biggest threat to us from Somalia." In this way, Somalia has become a toothless lion, and we can do whatever we want. ”

Sarkozy wasn't stupid either, and quickly thought of what Moran meant. The best way to redeploy the Somali Air Force is for a large-scale air battle to break out again on the Persian Gulf side.

Just like the first air battle in the Persian Gulf, the main force of the Somali Air Force was all transferred to Iran to fight with the first-class carrier-based aircraft unit of the US Air Force, while in Somalia itself, only a few third- and second-generation aircraft protected the airspace. That was when Somalia was at its weakest.

And the United States also lost a missile destroyer in the Somali Air Force raid this time, and the United States will definitely not sit idly by, and will definitely choose to fight back, and how to fight back, I think the United States is also facing the same concerns as France, that is, Somalia is a nuclear country, and it is certainly not easy to strike at Somalia itself like Iraq and Libya, at least that kind of determination is not easy to make. It can defeat the United Air Force in the Persian Gulf and sweep away the elite Air Force of Somalia, that is, strike at Somalia. Without the threat of the Somali strategic air force, and the fact that the Somali ICBM has just been launched and tested, it is certainly too early to deploy it, and there will be a period of weakness of Somalia's nuclear forces, and at that time, perhaps, it will be the time for the West to completely solve the threat of Somalia.

And France, at this time, only wants to add a fire to the Persian Gulf.
