Volume VII Chapter 947 Teasing the French Navy
readx;
When the Somali mechanized troops entered Ethiopian territory, US warplanes from the Al Udeid Air Base in the Persian Gulf took off from there, crossed the 'demarcation line' between the two sides, and frequently entered the northern Persian Gulf to carry out various provocations and surveillance flights over the Iranian coastal areas.

Not to be outdone, the coalition air force also sent fighter jets to take off and drive out the US fighters, and the two sides resumed their confrontation over the Persian Gulf.
And in the Mediterranean, NATO fighter jets can often be seen flying from north to south, 'patrolling' along the Libyan coastal border, and war seems to be on the verge of breaking out.
On the afternoon of the 20th, the Libyan political axe suddenly sent a strongly worded diplomatic note to the Italian political axe, protesting against Italy's opening of its airspace and the provision of military bases for a possible invasion of Libya, claiming that such an act of the Italian political axe is very dangerous and may bring Italy to a dangerous situation.
The fierce and threatening diplomatic note from the Libyan political axe has once again stirred up the chaotic situation in the Mediterranean.
The Third OECD also issued a statement immediately afterward, claiming that the Third OECD has the responsibility and obligation to safeguard the sovereignty, integrity and national security of its member states, and that when the interests of member countries are harmed, the Third OECD will work together to use any means to counteract.
If the threat of the Libyan political axe can only make the Italian political axe angry, then the threat of the third OECD is even more direct and fruitful.
Even if you don't send troops to war, as long as you help other countries fight Libya, you are in the third OECD retaliation.
And any means, including military means, and even at a critical juncture, must bear the responsibility for a nuclear strike.
However, these threats from the Third OECD did not make the Italian political axe retract, but directly chose to ignore it. As a NATO country, it is impossible for Italy's political axe to throw away the face of Western countries and choose to retreat because of the threat of a few 'small countries'.
It was late at night, and the lights were still on in Li Mo's office. Standing behind the tightly blocked window, Li Mo frowned and kept smoking.
Tomorrow is the time for the UN Security Council to vote on the 'proposal' submitted by France and other countries, and it can be expected that this 'proposal' will definitely be adopted, and even if a secret agreement is reached with China or Russia through diplomatic channels, and one of the two countries uses a veto, it is impossible to prevent the military intervention of Western forces led by France in Libya.
Therefore, Li Mo did not think of the idea of stopping the adoption of the 'Proposal' from the Security Council from the beginning. For the West, military intervention in a sovereign state is not once or twice, which one requires the authorization of the United Nations? The main reason why this military intervention in Libya has to go through the motions is that the United States will not take the lead in the operation, and France and other countries do not have the confidence to ignore the world's opposition like the United States, so they need to have more effort to save face. However, once the Security Council vetoes this 'proposal,' France and other countries will certainly directly intervene militarily.
And within the Third OECD, there is no agreement on a preemptive attack in the Mediterranean. In fact, in the final analysis, everyone does not have the confidence and courage to start a war with a Western power again. The confrontation with the United States in the Persian Gulf has already made people a little powerless, and with the exception of Libya, several countries are very hesitant.
Speaking of which, the real mobile force that can be mobilized now is Somalia's 'strategic air force', so in this matter, Somalia's opinion is the most important. Although the preemptive plan was proposed by Somalia, Li Mo still did not make up his mind to take the initiative to start a war with France.
"Xiao Mo, it's not too early." Fan Qingqing quietly walked over and hugged the man's waist from behind and whispered.
She knows how much pressure men have borne these days, in the past, men's mental head was always full and even a little excessive, and they thought of various ways to toss her or other women at night, but in the past two days, men seem to have lost interest in that matter. Fan Qingqing didn't know how many times he saw a man again.
"Qingqing, do you think what I'm doing right now?" Li Mo grabbed a warm little hand on his lower abdomen and asked in a low voice. Li Mo's initial plan was to fight a small-scale war with the West, to let the West know that small and weak countries are not something that can be bullied at will, but he still didn't expect that the reaction of Westerners would be so fierce, and how determined they would be to protect their interests, nor did he think that if a war broke out, the trend of the situation would not be so easy to control at all.
He now somewhat understands why the mustache led the German chariot to drive during World War II, and he didn't know that he spent time consolidating the fruits of victory step by step, but in the end, he lost control of the war machine because the battle line was stretched too long, and finally after exhausting that breath, he began to go downhill.
Li Mo felt that the kind of person with a mustache could not be mindless, and he only knew that he was hot-headed and commanded indiscriminately. If that were the case, the mustache would not have been the leader of Germany to bring Germany out of the mire of the defeated countries of World War I and the financial crisis and French plunder.
Just like the current Somalia and the Third OECD, the contest with the United States in the Persian Gulf has come to an end temporarily, and it should have been stepping up preparations and waiting for the next showdown, but Li Mo had to make the decision to go to war with Ethiopia, and even hesitated about whether to open another front in the Mediterranean.
With Li Mo's original plan, how could he be so self-conscious?
"Husband, you are doing something that benefits the people of the world." Fan Qingqing rubbed the man's back with her pink face and said softly.
Li Mo was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a wry smile, "Don't think of me as noble and great." People all over the world? What the hell are they doing to me? I just want myself and the people around me to live a better life, and then do my best to change the living environment and level for the people around me. ”
I was going to pry a corner in the current order of the earth, let the light of freedom from the depths of the universe shine down, and let as many people as possible feel true freedom. However, as soon as they took action, they found that they had underestimated that the world order and system established by the West had been operating for hundreds of years, and although it had been somewhat loosened by the beating of other countries and nations, it was found that the old order and those forces that used it to survive and profit were too determined to maintain it.
"No matter what, I and the others will always have your back." Fan Qingqing walked in front of Li Mo, raised his head and said with a firm expression.
…… Four blazing white high-energy particles flowed back and suddenly erupted, and the two 'Divine Eagle' fighters crossed the runway for several hundred meters in the east and west directions and soared into the sky, but formed a two-plane formation in the sky, the blue indicator lights on the planes flashed a few times, and the two planes disappeared into the night sky in the north like ghosts.
At 40 kilometers in the stratosphere, two dark ghosts left the Somali continental shelf against the starry sky overhead, followed the Gulf of Aden into the Red Sea, and finally entered the Mediterranean Sea over the Suez Canal.
Colonel Jababa glanced up at the clear starry sky outside the cabin, and the dark cloud in his heart suddenly disappeared. For strategic air pilots like them, such a pure night sky can often be seen, and they have also fantasized about one day, flying a space fighter to a higher and farther place.
However, the 'Condor' fighter has an altitude limit, and at present, the maximum flight altitude of the aircraft is 47 kilometers and the speed is Mach 6.4. If the weapons are removed, after some modifications, the Condor fighter will even be able to break out of the stratosphere.
After entering the skies over the Mediterranean, the speed of the two fighters has been reduced to about Mach 4, and the altitude has also been reduced to 35 kilometers. It is also a relatively safe speed and height. With existing ground-based anti-aircraft weapons, it is almost impossible to hit, either with insufficient firing height, or insufficient maximum speed.
Ten minutes later, Colonel Jababa's left wing tip suddenly lit twice, and he pushed down the pushrod, and the plane fell suddenly, and the wingman followed closely behind, lowering to a lower altitude.
"Woo woo woo ......"
The aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, which was guarded by a destroyer and a frigate, suddenly sounded a terrible air defense siren, and soon the sirens sounded throughout the French fleet.
Countless French sailors who had just fallen asleep rushed to their combat posts in a panic while wearing their clothes under the loud reprimands of the officers.
On the radio, the announcer's continuous voice was played, 'This is not ...... acting.'
The officer on duty reported the discovery to the captain who rushed to the command room, and 1 minute ago, the radar screen flashed and suddenly found two faint suspicious signals, but the ranging distance from the aircraft carrier was only 150 kilometers, and the long-range radar on the aircraft carrier had a maximum detection range of 350 kilometers, which made the officer on duty who received the radar report shocked.
The distance of 150 kilometers, if the suspicious signal is an enemy aircraft, is enough to pose a serious security threat to the aircraft carrier. Many anti-ship missiles are capable of reaching this figure.
The officer on duty undoubtedly knew more than the radar soldiers, and he understood very well that at this time, any suspicious signals could not be missed, because in this world, a new type of stealth fighter has appeared, not American, but on the hostile side of Somalia.
The officer on duty did not hesitate to sound the air raid siren, and the radars on the aircraft carrier and frigate were all turned on to search the airspace where the suspicious signal existed, and the suspicious light spots that quickly disappeared reappeared, which undoubtedly proved the fact that there were suspicious flying objects that were close to the aircraft carrier at a high altitude.
"Carrier-based aircraft will immediately take off to intercept them, and the 'Aster' missile system will be on standby and launched as soon as the target enters range." The captain is much more powerful and decisive, and at this time, no matter what the suspicious signal is, it must be treated as a 'hostile target'.
Colonel Jababa took control of the plane and unabashedly approached the target with his wingman at supersonic speed at a distance of 15 kilometers. The magazines of the two fighters were also opened, revealing aerial bombs inside.
If it is other fighters, it is very dangerous to approach the aircraft carrier at this altitude and speed, not to mention the carrier-based aircraft, even the fleet's anti-aircraft missiles can threaten them. But for the 'Condor' fighter, the instantaneous afterburner of the engine is simply what ordinary people imagine, and it can be increased from supersonic speed to hypersonic speed in more than ten seconds, and then calmly get rid of the tracking of the missile.
On the outer deck, four Rafale M fighters took off urgently and rushed towards the 'suspicious flying object'. In the command room, the crew of the aircraft carrier is also stepping up to measure the flight parameters of the 'suspicious flying object'.
When they learned that the 'suspicious flying object' was approaching the aircraft carrier at supersonic speed, the faces of the French naval officers in the command room turned ugly, and now they have determined that the two signals are Somali aircraft. Because so far in the world, supersonic cruise can be achieved, except for the F-22 fighter is the Somali 'Condor' fighter.
When the two Somali fighters were about to be intercepted by the Rafale M' fighters, the two planes suddenly accelerated and soon broke into the 50-kilometer range of the aircraft carrier at a high speed of Mach 3, which is already an extremely dangerous distance, and if the enemy planes are not two but more, it indicates that the aircraft carrier 'Charles de Gaulle' will be hit with a high possibility.
A total of eight Mika medium-range missiles were simultaneously launched by Rafale M. fighters. But the next scene let these French know why in the Persian Gulf War, the most advanced F-22 fighter jets of the United States were almost completely wiped out.
Just as the 'Mika' missile was about to track the plane, the two Somali fighters accelerated again, and the speed broke through from Mach 3 to nearly Mach 4. The maximum speed of the 'Mika' missile is only Mach 3, and even under the customary surname of the aircraft, the speed can exceed Mach 3, but it is far from Mach 4, and we can only watch the undisguised infrared signal of the two Somali planes farther and farther away.
When the Somali fighters broke into the 40-kilometer range of the aircraft carrier, the destroyer escorting the escort and the 'Aster-15' anti-aircraft missiles on the frigate were launched at the same time, and more than a dozen ship-to-air missiles dragged orange tail flames across the air in an arc to intercept the Somali fighters at high speed.
Colonel Jababa ignored the alarm from the cabin and glanced at the direction of the wingman, although the two sides could only see each other's somewhat vague cockpit, but they had a tacit understanding to pull up the nose of the plane at the same time, and climb vertically at a right angle of almost 90 degrees.
As if to tease the intercepting and pursuing missiles below, he even made a few fancy flipping movements during the climb, and from below, it looked like the fighter plane 'running' in front writhing its fat ass and laughing at the increasingly 'weak' missiles behind.
When the engines of more than a dozen Aster-15 missiles ran out of fuel, the French Navy had to control the volleys of these missiles to self-detonate.
A dozen beautiful and bright fireworks are like the movements of Somali planes twisting their butts, and in the eyes of the French, they are a kind of ridicule and disdain of Chiguoguo.
The French naval officers on the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle were all angry, and the captain was panting in his nostrils and roaring with red eyes, "Damn it, you must knock them down for me, or I will take you to court-martial." ”
It is reminiscent of the proud Gallic chicken, which grows angry and crows its neck after failing to compete for a hen.
In fact, there is no need for the captain to say that the combat personnel are 12 percent highly concentrated, calculating the flight path of the Somali fighter plane, and analyzing the best firing angle and time. Because once the Somali fighter launches a missile, they don't want to go to court-martial, and they may go to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish first.
"Captain, for your safety, I advise you to immediately move to the frigate." The first mate was quite conscious, and he rolled his brown eyes and said.
The captain of the aircraft carrier was eager to give the first mate a left hook, didn't this guy see clearly that the Somali fighter planes were more interested in tricking the French fleet than attacking the French aircraft carrier? Otherwise, how could only two fighters be sent? If I 'transfer' at this time, I am afraid that I will become a laughing stock in the world's navy, and the face of the French Navy will be lost by myself.
"Are you going to make me a coward?"
Just as the captain finished speaking, the air raid sirens became more and more rapid and more poignant, and the captain turned his head to look at the LCD screen, and his eyes glared at the boss again.
Any Frenchman knows that there was once a dive bomber called the 'Death Whistle' and the 'Screaming Vulture' in the world, which made the Allies smell and blew the Stuka. At this moment, although the two Somali fighters were not equipped with altitude alarms, they only dived down almost vertically, and at this moment, the place where the planes dived was already directly above the aircraft carrier.
At this time, not only did the 'Aster-15' vertical missile launch system, but also the short-range 'Mistral' anti-aircraft missiles and anti-aircraft artillery also open fire one after another, and on the deck of the aircraft carrier, firefighters and medical personnel were also on standby.
At an altitude of 5,000 meters, the two Somali fighters finally dropped their bombs, and after the two black bombs were dropped, the two fighters pulled up the nose again and threw off the missiles again in a vertical climb.
The French naval officers and sailors on the aircraft carrier all looked at the two black guys falling from the huge searchlight beam with a frightened expression.
While the aircraft carrier was making an emergency evasion, all kinds of anti-aircraft fire were also firing at the bombs, and even the French naval soldiers were holding rifles to the sky, and once the bombs landed at a certain height, they opened fire, trying to explode the bombs in the air.
Noticing that the two huge bombs that looked to weigh at least one ton were also slightly adjusting the landing direction as the aircraft carrier evaded, the French face was desperate again, it turned out to be precision-guided bombs. With such a big bomb, an aircraft carrier can return to France if it falls, and if you are unlucky, it is possible to sink.
One bomb is still a deviating aircraft carrier, and depending on the trajectory of the fall, it will definitely end up in the sea, while the other will hit the deck directly.
The moment the bomb fell before the aircraft carrier, the first mate threw the captain to the ground, but then he didn't even hear the explosion except for feeling the aircraft carrier shake. Could it be such luck that this bomb was a dud?
But when the captain who had re-held his head high received the report from the bomb disposal expert, his nose was crooked.
