Between the two mountains and valleys, a steel wire hangs in the air, the athlete walks on the tightrope with a bamboo pole in his hand, swaying slightly from side to side, the audience sometimes cheers, sometimes nervous, but the waves are not alarmed, and finally the athlete reaches the finish line smoothly. Summarize the elements of athletes' success: first of all, the competition must be thrilling, without thrill, it cannot attract the attention of the audience, and without stimulation, it cannot make people pay attention for a long time; Secondly, it is normal for athletes to swing left and right, that is to maintain balance, if it is as steady as walking the road, no one will compete to watch; Third, the audience has an expectation of future endings. For the audience, they are all looking forward to the success of the athletes, but no one knows whether this goal can be achieved, whether the athletes will fall to the bottom somewhere in the middle, and whether they will reach the finish line calmly, these are all expectations, but also suspense; At the end of the day, the whole competition was an interesting process. An athlete is also an actor, he is competing, acting, and putting on a show, you are scared in your heart, he has the bottom in his heart, and he can grasp what kind of heat he can play, so that the audience is anxious is a thrilling action made on purpose, which is deliberately scary.

That is exactly what happened in the Somali crisis. Everyone watched the athlete stagger, and a light breeze gently lifted him up, and then regained his balance again. They are both tightrope walkers, and although they are teetering on the brink of war and peace, they have not stumbled in the screams of the global audience. All bark and no bite. I only heard the sound of the stairs, but no one came down. The war in Somalia has been hyped up by the media many times, and the situation is strikingly similar to that before the Iraq war: the public opinion system, which is an important part of the American war machine. The warm-up and start-up are no different from the hype of the Iraq war. Public opinion in the world is the same as it was at the beginning. Follow the blind coaxing and join in the fun. Many experts and scholars are also making their own wonderful comments, and there are different opinions. This is the information age, where the media's involvement in wars affects not only the course of wars, but also the outcome of wars.

From a strategic point of view, Somalia has rich oil resources, controls strategic passages such as the Gulf of Aden, and has a good development foundation with Shiite Muslims in Iraq, Allah in Lebanon, and Hamas in Israel, and directly challenges the national interests of the United States in oil, military and other strategic interests. If such an adversary cannot obey the orders of the United States, the United States will absolutely not tolerate it.

In the 21st century, however, there is a joke that in the future, Africa will become the center of the world. And this war is telling the world that this joke now has a chance to become a reality. Somalis are using the miracles they have created to challenge the normal notion of the whole world.

What various experts said was impossible has now become possible, and I thought it was another military operation like a surgical operation. However, the combined forces of the United States, France, Italy, and Japan completely fell into a quagmire from which they could not extricate themselves.

From the start of the war to this unprecedented cyber war, there have been too many firsts in the whole world, and all kinds of dazzling facts are being told to the world. Somalia is on the rise step by step and is becoming one of the world's great powers.

From a country that does not enter the stream, to the first-class. Somalia has only taken just over four years, and this is the greatest miracle in this world. Let's ask which country in the whole world is strong. It is not the overlord of the world in any period after a long period of accumulation. None of this can be achieved overnight. Four years is really just a moment for the footsteps of human beings.

In order to win a place in Africa, which is surrounded by strong enemies, Li Lan is really walking a tightrope every step he takes, especially in this war, from passive to active, every step is an adventurous advance, and the result of the war is easy to fall into a situation that is difficult to control.

Now that the pace of the war has reached a turning point, every opportunity must be grasped well.

When the cyber battlefield was in full swing, the violent shaking from the earth made Li Lan understand that the opportunity had come.

In the command center, a huge 3D simulation map appeared in front of Li Lan's eyes, and on the map, the situation of friend and foe was clearly marked.

Li Lan focused his attention on the city of Galcayo, a city deep in the midst of the war, which was the defensive position of the 1st Heavy Division and the 3rd Division of the Garrison Corps, and also the place where the battle was fiercest in this war.

The enemy's strength is also very strong, it is the main force of the Fourth Expeditionary Force, a powerful expeditionary heavy force, with a Marine Regiment of the Marine Corps and two brigades of the Fourth Heavy Division of the US Army as the main force, with the Italian mechanized infantry brigade as the second main force, and an infantry division on the Ethiopian side as the auxiliary, with a total strength of 30,000 troops. Ground-based air forces from the Kenyan and Ethiopian sides provided air strike assistance.

In the comparison of military strength between the two sides, neither side has an advantage. The equipment and combat quality of the soldiers of the First Heavy Division are among the best in the world. Since the outbreak of the war, the two sides have fought each other in Galkayo, and the ratio of battle losses is almost 1:1.

At the same time, it is also the graveyard of fighter planes, and its air combat is no less intense than anywhere else. A large number of warplanes from both sides staged aerial duels here every moment, and even the battles between aircraft and artillery were often staged. It can be seen that both sides are firm in their determination to seize air supremacy, and neither side will make the slightest concession.

The arrival of the whirlwind made both sides choose a truce for a moment to adjust their new tactical deployments, and the air force also had time to breathe.

Now that the respite has passed, and as the effects of the tropical pressures have gradually diminished, and the country has begun to move away from Somalia towards central Ethiopia, Galkayo, although it is still rainy, has had little impact on the war.

At this time, the coalition forces also switched to a defensive posture. Despite the secret air raid mission and the defeat of the navy, the order to defend was not revoked.

The change and continuation of the offensive and defensive attack did not surprise Li Lan, and the task he had to do now was to counterattack in accordance with the strategic plan. Because the criterion for victory in this war is not to blindly succeed in defense, but to drive the enemy out of the country and restore all the original land in Somalia.

"Commander." A staff officer came behind Li Lan and saluted and reported: "The intelligence department has sent the latest information, and the enemy is organizing strategic transport troops to replenish the supplies of the front-line combat troops. ”

"Which way?" Li Lan asked.

"It is not clear that, according to the assessment, there is a more than 80% probability of material delivery and replenishment of the enemy in the Galcayo area."

Li Lan nodded, in his opinion, this probability can be increased to 100%, Mogadishu was razed, the supplies that the coalition forces had just arrived were also destroyed at the same time, and Galcayo's troops were also facing difficulties in supply.

In modern warfare, the importance of supply is also particularly prominent, and the daily consumption of ammunition is greater than in any previous period, especially in high-intensity warfare, the consumption of ammunition is extremely terrifying, and it is tens or even hundreds of tons every day.

"Order the air force to find the right time to fight and destroy the opponent's supply lines as much as possible." Li Lan first gave an order to the staff officer behind him, and then ordered Tanya beside him: "At the moment when the cyber war ends, immediately order the troops to counterattack according to the plan, remember, this is our best opportunity, everything must be completed within forty-eight hours." ”

"Understood!" Tanya nodded solemnly.

At this moment, a hurried figure quickly came behind Li Lan, handed the confidential document in his hand to Li Lan very seriously, and said, "Commander, this is a confidential document sent by the Cyber Command, claiming that 100,000 is urgent. ”

Li Lan nodded, took the document, and after opening it, what came into his eyes was a nuclear strike order from the top of the US military, and the date of the order was early this morning. The document comes from the windfall of this cyber war.

"The Americans really couldn't help it." Li Lan handed the document to Tanya and said pointedly.

"This is ......" Tanya flipped it open, her face a little ugly.

"What should come is still coming, the United States cannot fail, we cannot lose, this war has finally come to this point, but unfortunately, whether it is the Bush or the Carter, we have not received nuclear bombs from the US military." Li Lan shook his head, shrugged his shoulders and continued: "Fortunately, we are not unprepared at all. ”

Tanya nodded, sighed and said, "Now I only hope that I can really hide from the world." ”

"There's no way to hide it!" Li Lan didn't say much, from the very beginning of this war, he expected that there would be today, if he hadn't come to this point, the battle situation at this time would have already fallen into a situation of defeat.

The United States cannot afford to lose, and Li Lan naturally knows this very well; conventional force is not enough, and the use of nuclear weapons to attack non-nuclear countries will be said to be a matter of many people, but the United States is not an ordinary country, and in addition France and Italy and Japan and the United States are together, the pressure on the United States to use nuclear weapons will be much less.

It seemed that it was not calm today, and another figure who came in a hurry came to the two of them and reported to Li Lan: "Commander, Mr. Zeng Zhihua, the Chinese ambassador, said that he has an urgent matter to ask for a meeting, and he will wait in the hall on the first floor now!" ”

"Tell him I'll go down right away." Li Lan nodded and ordered the visitor, and before leaving, he instructed Tanya: "I will handle the matter of the nuclear strike, and your task is to complete this counterattack and fight beautifully." ”

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" (To be continued......)
