Volume VI Chapter 762 Missile Base

Above the wilderness, an improvised dirt road runs through it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This is a sparsely populated area in the northern part of Galgaduud, and this easy road is the shortest shortcut to Mudug, another northern state.
However, because the area to be crossed by this highway is in the wilderness, sparsely populated, and close to the northern mountain range, the road is rugged and tortuous, although there is no danger of steepness, but just the supply problem in the hundreds of kilometers of the journey, it brings inconvenience to many business tourists, so this highway will only be chosen by those who have a very high demand for time.
Suddenly, the yellow sand in the distance of the highway was full of sky, just like a storm in the desert, but it was much smaller.
Several herdsmen were driving their camels on the side of the road, and when they saw this, their faces changed slightly, and they immediately drove their livestock off the road, and walked slowly in the direction of the road from afar, and paid most of their attention to the sand and dust chasing behind.
Anyone who has experience who sees this scene knows that this is not a sandstorm, but a convoy is coming. Looking at the dust stirred up, you can guess that the size of the convoy is not small.
Soon, an armored car with four anti-aircraft guns similar to those on a warship took the lead, and one after another similar armored vehicles rushed out of the dust, the ground was already very hard, and there was very little dust, even if the vehicle was driving at high speed, it only brought up a very small amount of dust.
A young herdsman counted 12 armored vehicles equipped with quadruple 25mm anti-aircraft guns, and behind these anti-aircraft armored vehicles, a heavy truck more than ten meters long made the herdman's eyes widen. Even the other older cautious herders couldn't help but look curiously at the road a mile away.
From the insignia that has been painted on the colors of these vehicles, it can be seen that this is a convoy of the Somali military. And the trucks carrying huge cylindrical objects are similar to the legendary missile launchers. It's just that on top of the long cone-shaped object, there is a camouflage net and protective layer, and the contents inside are not carefully seen. But this should be a missile launcher, no doubt.
Viper sat in a jeep, parked on the side of the road, he lit a cigarette at the moment, and looked out the window at the cars passing one by one, and his heart was also very excited.
He was supposed to be in the capital, making the final preparations for the National Day parade, but he was here because he had something more important to do, that is, to personally lead the convoy to the Hansuga Mountains in northern Nurga, a missile base for the construction of a military industry.
The convoy carried a total of 20 Firmament-1 surface-to-surface missiles, which will be transported to the Hansuga Mountain missile base and stored in underground missile silos. These surface-to-surface missiles, which have a range of up to 1,800 kilometres, will be a secret weapon for the first round of strike and defense in northern Somalia.
With the expansion of the missile unit and the increase in the number of missile equipment, the Somali missile unit has been secretly organized in the midst of suspicion and ignorance from the outside world, and has a certain strike capability.
It's just that the viper still has some regrets in his heart, mainly because these Firmament 1 missiles, the liquid engine still used, in order to ensure that the high oxidation and high corrosion of the liquid fuel will not cause harm to the fuel tank, the missile research center had to replace the shell of the fuel tank with a precious alloy of silicon-uranium alloy, although the cost of missile production has increased by nearly one-tenth, but it is related to national defense, and it is careless, under Li Mo's personal instructions, the missile factory still produced a batch of this kind of Sky missiles that can directly fill the fuel into the missile, instead of the need to store liquid fuel separately for safety, as in the case of mobile missile units, until the time of combat launch, it is not filled.
Fortunately, there is also good news from the missile research center, with the successful development of small solid rocket engines, the missile research center and the power institute are already studying solid rocket engines suitable for medium- and short-range missiles. However, the solid rocket engine used in medium- and short-range missiles is not only a small solid rocket engine amplified, but also has a more complex composition of solid propellant and a more difficult manufacturing process.
Like small solid rocket engines are mostly single/double base propellants, which are characterized by uniform propellant, low combustion speed and pressure, the disadvantage is that the energy level and density are low, and they can only provide power for those small missiles, so to speak, small solid engines are low-energy solid propellants used. Medium- and short-range missiles, on the other hand, often weigh several tons or tens of tons, and if you want to drop such a heavy missile hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, you need extremely huge propulsion, and if you use low-energy solid propellants, the efficiency is too low, and it is even difficult to meet the launch conditions of the missile. At this time, a propellant with a larger combustion value and a larger specific impulse is needed. This is a composite propellant suitable for medium and short-range missiles.
Because the volume of the compound propellant column is larger, it is necessary to add some additives, dyeing agents and more oxidants to ensure the efficiency of the combustion of the column and ensure that the missile can obtain stable thrust.
Because it was about the missile regiment, Viper knew more about this information, and coupled with his identity as a veteran, no one would keep it to him on this information that was not too secret.
At this time, there are still hundreds of kilometers away from the Nurcha missile base, and the Viper did not let the convoy secret, but when the convoy enters Mudug Oblast, the convoy needs to travel day and night, and also choose those sparsely populated and remote places to drive, so as to minimize the detection of the outside world and the detection of sky satellites. Fortunately, the north of Somalia is mountainous and easier to hide and keep secret than the plains of the south. Vipers are confident that they will spy on many foreign borders and lead the convoy to the missile base safely.
Mogadishu, the office of the Ministry of Defense Li Mo. This is another center of power in Somalia, the most important military center in Somalia, and it is impossible for idlers to get close to it.
However, the Chinese commander who made countless people look up to him was talking on the phone with Erlang's legs crossed in the office at the moment, and a few ambiguous words occasionally popped out from the other party's hippie smiling face, and it was not difficult to guess that the other end of the phone must be a female surname.
"Xiaowei, don't you know your husband and my ability? Don't worry, I've already instructed someone to contact those ladies and ladies, and the business of your 'Wanhuacong Mall' will definitely be good this week at the latest." Hehe, but my husband and I have been running around for this matter for a few days, is there any benefit? Li Mo crossed his feet and said with a smile to the female surname on the other end of the phone.
Seeing this scene, Fan Qingqing's eyebrows furrowed, and he threw Li Mo a roll of his eyes from time to time.
......The phone on the desktop suddenly rang, Fan Qingqing was startled, and immediately trotted over to pick up the phone and said, "Hello, this is the office of the deputy commander-in-chief." ”
"It's Qingqing, I'm Shan Guohai, is Deputy Commander Li here?" There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and there was a warm and hearty voice.
Fan Qingqing heard the familiar voice, and couldn't help but sigh, "Hello Uncle Shan, Li Mo is here, I'll let him answer the phone." ”
When Fan Qingqing turned his head and was about to say to Li Mo, he saw that Li Mo had already hung up the call with Liu Wei, and looked at it with a straight face. He already knew who was on the other end of the phone, General Shan Guohai, vice chairman of the Huaxia Military Commission.
Li Mo nodded, indicating that he knew who the other party was, so he took the phone from Fan Qingqing's hand and said with a smile, "Hello Vice Chairman Shan, do you have any instructions?" ”
Since the last visit to Huaxia in a private capacity, Li Mo has become much closer to the enemy of this third person in the Huaxia military, and because of the old chairman, the two have not only maintained friendly contacts on official affairs, but also have some appropriate contacts in private.
"Commander Li said with a smile, how dare I instruct you, I called you this time because I wanted to trouble you." Shan Guohai said with a smile, from Li Mo's tone, he felt the taste of closeness, which made him feel a little hesitant, so he said it very smoothly, although it was said in a very natural and affectionate way, but Shan Guohai was still a little bottomless.
Li Mo was stunned when he heard this, he had never seen Shan Guohai call directly for help, in the past, even if Huaxia Zhengaxe cooperated with Li Mo, he was contacted through the embassy Ding Huiqiang, and a few times, he would send a secret representative to Somalia.
And this time, Shan Guohai called in person, originally called as Shan Guohai, and it can be guessed that Shan Guohai is in the sea. The trouble must be very big, after all, he doesn't need to call specifically for general matters, but if it is a very important matter, the way to call directly is not appropriate, after all, the two sides have no subordinate relationship, and they also represent two countries, in a sense, Shan Guohai is only the third person in the Huaxia military, and Li Mo is the second person in the Somali military, but Huaxia is a big country, and Somalia is a small country, and it is impossible for the two sides to be completely equal.
Therefore, Li Mo is very curious about the 'troubles' in the mouth of Shan Guohai, because there is something wrong with this matter, no matter how you look at it.
"Vice Chairman Shan said with a smile, where will there be trouble? If there is anything needed, I will do my best, not for anything else, but for the friendship between the two countries. Li Mo's mind became active, but on the surface he was silent, he really wanted to know what the so-called 'trouble' was.
After a pause on the other end of the phone, Shan Guohai's voice came, "Deputy Commander Li, General Yan of our General Staff may go to Somalia in the next few days, and I hope you can meet you in person when the time comes." ”
