Volume VII Chapter 944 The Western Pacific Storm

Third, the high-level leaders of the five OECD member states immediately held teleconference consultations on the proposals submitted to the Security Council by France and other countries, while the Persian Gulf Exercise Command, which has not yet been disbanded, and a huge staff committee of hundreds of elite staff officers from the five countries has also been working overtime to conduct exercises and discussions on the situation in Libya.

For the Third OECD, Libya must not have an accident, not because Libya is a member state, but more importantly, because the Gaddafi family is the country that spends the most money on logistical supplies for the Persian Gulf exercise force.

Modern warfare is all about logistics, and what is fought is money, and the countries of the Third OECD are not very rich, and the two-day air battle with the United States in the Persian Gulf has already cost astronomical amounts of materials and maintenance after the war. If it weren't for Gaddafi's provision of almost half of the funds, the war would not have been fought like this.

And now, the Persian Gulf side is still in confrontation, and a new round of conflict may break out.

For several reasons, the OECD must ensure that the West does not intervene in the Libyan civil war, so that Gaddafi can calmly suppress those oppositionists.

But how to stop the West's military intervention in Libya has become a matter of debate among member states.

Naturally, the Libyan political axe wants to redeploy troops from the Persian Gulf exercises to Libya, so as to fundamentally prevent Western air strikes on Libya from the direction of the Mediterranean.

However, this proposal was resolutely opposed by Iran and Syria, and the United States fought for two days in the Persian Gulf, and the United States is mobilizing more military forces to put it in this area, so that the presence of the exercise force will make the two countries feel safe.

Iran and Syria have proposed that they can send ground air defense units into Libya, but the Libyan government is certainly not satisfied with this proposal.

Not to mention how many air defense troops a few countries can mobilize into Libya in three days, that is, there are enough air defense forces, but in the face of the attacker, the strategic disadvantage of the defender always exists, and the Western intervening military forces can always find suitable loopholes to strike at Libyan military and civilian facilities. In addition, even the 'Patriot missile defense system,' which the United States boasts, does not play a very obvious role in a real large-scale air battle, let alone the ground air defense forces that several countries have improvised together.

A passive defense is bound to take a considerable amount of damage, which Gaddafi absolutely does not want to see.

As a result, the focus of the dispute between the two sides is on the need to send air force into Libya to defend Libyan airspace.

Somalia and North Korea were in a dilemma, and in the end they had no choice but to escalate the issue to the top level for a decision to be discussed and decided by the top leaders of the five countries.

Li Mo also felt a headache when he learned of the dispute at the exercise headquarters. He finally understood the bitterness in the hearts of the Americans, and opened up the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq at the same time, plus the war with the Third OECD in the Persian Gulf, and opened up three battlefields at the same time, I am afraid that a superpower like the United States can bear it, and the Third OECD is now facing two battlefields and is difficult to take care of.

The strength is still too weak.

Although it is not clear why France suddenly wants to intervene in Libya instead of choosing to wait and see, one thing is clear to Li Mo is that this matter has absolutely something to do with the Americans. The Americans must have promised the French some benefits, and the two sides reached a secret agreement to figure it out.

The United States is trying to disperse the strength of the Third OECD. With the weakening of the Third OECD, the United States will be able to make it easier for the United States.

Libya cannot be left unsaved, where can a joint air force be assembled? The losses of the joint air force in the Persian Gulf war have not yet been compensated, and the plan between Libya and Russia to purchase fighters is still being negotiated, and even if Russia agrees to simplify the sale of fighters in service with the Russian army to a certain extent, it will take several months, so it is not expected to replenish new aircraft for the time being.

In Iran, the number of third-generation main fighters of the United Air Force is only about 40, and the US Udeid Air Force Base on the opposite side of the Persian Gulf has been replenished in just a few days, and it has regained possession of nearly 100 fighters, and the 'Nimitz' aircraft carrier battle group, which was originally hovering in the Gulf of Aden, is about to sail into the Persian Gulf to take over the 'Eisenhower' aircraft carrier battle group, which has suffered a large loss of fighters. By then, the United States had regained its pre-war air force, while the coalition air force had been weakened by half.

This is the war potential, the United States has lost dozens of fighters, compared to the figure of several thousand main fighters of the US Air Force, it is not worth mentioning at all, and it can be replenished at any time, while the main fighters of the United Air Force rely on procurement, how can they be compared with the consumption of the United States?

If it weren't for the fact that Somalia's "Condor" fighters almost wiped out a squadron of F-22 fighters in the encounter, which cast a shadow in the hearts of the Americans and made them more cautious, I am afraid that there would not be a few days of peace in the Persian Gulf.

After all, it seems that the only way to save the Libyan crisis is to rely on the long-range "Condor" fighter that can support the Libyan air defense at any time, but after all, many technologies of the "Condor" fighter are based on this era, and it is impossible for all of them to be out of the times, and some parts of the fighter are also seriously worn, and the long-term flight and air combat aircraft also need to be repaired and maintained, and the pilots also need to rest and recuperate.

Relying on Somalia's less than 30 "Condor" fighters alone, it is simply impossible to compete for air supremacy in the two battlefields at the same time.

When Li Mo convened the military top brass to discuss the matter secretly, Shishi, a member of the National Defense Committee and president of the Military Academy, rarely spoke, "Why don't we change our thinking, such as taking the initiative to attack......

The United States has instigated France and other things to intervene in Libya in order to distract the strength of the Persian Gulf Joint Air Force, and when France and other countries take action, the United States will certainly respond in the Persian Gulf and hold back the main force of the Persian Gulf Joint Air Force. That's why Li Mo felt that no matter what he did, he couldn't solve the problem of having air supremacy in the hands of two battlefields thousands of miles apart.

However, the stone's proposal made his eyes light up, and there were still three days before the Security Council discussed the 'proposal', and in these three days, the third OECD had a lot to do, such as taking the initiative to take the initiative.

After discussing for a while, everyone felt that if they really planned to take the lead in the move, they would have to bear great international pressure, and the target of the attack could only be in the direction of Libya, not the direction of the Persian Gulf.

The main force in the Libyan direction is France, which has an aircraft carrier 'Charles de Gaulle', followed by a NATO air base in Sicily, Italy, which is definitely weaker than the US aircraft carrier battle group in the Persian Gulf and the Udeid air base, which are made up by fighters.

"The General Staff will make a plan for this and pass it on to the top management of the exercise command to see what other countries decide." Li Mo commanded with a solemn face.

…… In contrast to the tense atmosphere of the Persian Gulf and the southern Mediterranean, the western Pacific is calm.

However, in the eastern part of the Yellow Sea, along the coastal border between North and South Korea in the western part of the Korean Peninsula, a very special incident occurred.

A North Korean patrol boat patrolling the area suddenly opened fire on a South Korean fishing boat, killing one and injuring one.

This news was quickly confirmed by the South Korean political axe, and a whirlwind of 'recovering the Korean Peninsula' was once again set off in South Korea.

South Korea's political axe moved quickly, almost after sending a strong condemnation to North Korea, it sent a destroyer to the scene of the incident, and North Korea was not far behind, although I don't understand why the North Korean patrol boat would provoke South Korea at this time, but in the fight with South Korea, North Korea has never been willing to fall behind, because they are all a nation, once a country, once North Korea fell behind, it will be very unfavorable to North Korea's political axe.

Both countries are working to reunify the Korean Peninsula, but there is a big difference between North Korea defeating South Korea and South Korea defeating North Korea's reunification.

Less than half a day after the incident, the South Korean Navy destroyer arrived at the accident site, and a skirmish ensued with the North Korean Navy.

This series of changes caused the surrounding China and Russia to react, and the two countries launched a small-scale exchange of fire on the sea and on the road, and the sky over the Korean Peninsula was suddenly overcast.

At this time, the US political axe and some Western countries followed suit to condemn the DPRK Navy's attack on fishing boats, and for a while, Western public opinion once again described the DPRK as a country led by a 'rogue regime'.

The pressure of public opinion and the incomprehension of the North Korean patrol boat's firing at the fishing boat have not yet made the Kim family father and son react, and the United States, the other and the ROK announced at the same time that they will conduct a large-scale joint exercise in the Yellow Sea early next month. In addition to saying that the ROK will send a number of advanced destroyers and air forces to participate in the exercise, both the ROK and the ROK will also send helicopter carriers, and the United States will send the USS Washington aircraft carrier to participate in the exercise. It is estimated that nearly 100 warships and 200 air force fighters will be involved in the exercise, and the exercise will be held in the Yellow Sea.

China and Russia are concerned about the exercises in the Yellow Sea and have protested to the three countries, claiming that the military exercises will destabilize the western Pacific region and will have a far-reaching negative impact on the first region.

But when the two countries openly and covertly approached the three countries to try to stop the exercise, the two countries also reacted immediately.

The announcement by the Chinese Ministry of National Defense that China's three major fleets will conduct exercises in a certain area of the East China Sea is a countermeasure to the joint exercises of the United States and South Korea, while Russia is more direct. Two Tu-95 "Xiong" strategic bombers of the Russian Air Force took off directly from the Far Eastern Military District, along the western part of the Honhai Sea, almost immediately along the territorial waters of the ROK to the south, passing through the Korean Strait and then returning. The two countries sent a number of warplanes to follow the two unescorted bombers until they were 'sent out of the country'.
