Chapter 377: Boiling America in Warm Water

PS: Dragon Boat Festival, a gorgeous and pleasant day off. Today, I want to get a good night's sleep and spend time with my family, so there will be no additions. Send 9,000 words today, and make up 12,000 tomorrow.

The most weak question: Are there still tickets?

——————

After Li Lan signed the agreement and printed the seal, China and Russia also quickly made a statement to the whole world.

The words are not short, but the meaning expressed is basically the same.

We don't care how the war is fought, but the sea situation is changing abruptly, and in order to ensure the safety of the ships and personnel of the escort group, our navy's escort group in the Gulf of Aden will dock at a Somali port to temporarily avoid the wind and rain.

The two statements from the Ministry of National Defense of China and Russia pointed out everything, but only one thing was not, that is, when they would leave. Since you are here to avoid the wind and rain and the bad sea conditions, do you leave as soon as the wind and rain dissipate and the sea is calm? Nor did it make a life.

When answering a reporter's question, the spokesmen of the defense ministries of the two countries did not answer anything other than their solemn stance. Leaving a huge conjecture for the whole world.

In the words of the two countries, the will for peace has been conveyed to the United States and NATO, and what you think is none of our business.

For this reason, before the United States responded, Iran and Pakistan also made the same statement, and even Agenyan of North America came to intervene at this time.

Not only that, many media also reported that because of the cyclone, the merchant ships stranded in the Gulf of Aden were also allowed by the Somali side to enter Somalia for shelter.

For this reason, Li Lan also appeared in the media. A heartfelt welcome was expressed to the merchant ships and escort fleets seeking shelter from the wind.

This series of events has overwhelmed the coalition forces. A large number of interrogation messages. Presented on the desk of the leaders of the four countries.

The United States sees China as its most powerful potential enemy and Russia as its biggest competitor right now. The two countries are also under a series of strategic encirclements by the United States. walked together. This practice of the United States is an extremely irrational act. On the one hand, it has roped in allies everywhere in Eastern Europe and driven the anti-missile system to the doorstep of polar bears, while in East Asia, the United States has roped in a large number of squads and is constantly making trouble for China.

The most direct result is not how many strategic opportunities the United States has seized, but to make China and Russia closer and closer. This is the success of the American strategy, and the failure of the American strategy.

Of course. Perhaps in the eyes of the United States, neither Russia nor China can really walk together with the United States, they are already competitors, so they can only be suppressed together. Unless, there is a triangular situation in the world, but this is really difficult to achieve.

Now that there is one more Li Lan, the United States can no longer bear the changes in the world. There is also a potential powerhouse that could pose a great threat to the United States one day in the future. In particular, after China and Russia got closer and closer, Li Lan also went in and made a move, forming a triangular joint posture.

The Americans hit Somalia. It's also anger from the heart, if you don't fight, you can't do it! Otherwise, the world in the future will not be the world that the United States can control and guide.

However. Originally, in the eyes of the Americans, China and Russia had already withdrawn. At this time, I came over again. This is quite annoying to the United States.

If it weren't for the fact that the coalition forces had gained a lot of initiative now, things would have been quite mild. If only Somalia had the upper hand in this war. If not, China and Russia will do something that will embarrass the United States even more.

However, this seemingly mild method now shows the United States a strategy called boiling frogs in warm water. The United States is like the frog surrounded by warm water, and China and Russia are at the bottom of the pot, gradually adding firewood. Although it can't be burned to death all at once, once it reaches a fatal temperature, it is the death period of the frog, and there is no chance to escape.

Now, this is the case with China and Russia, and it is an extremely normal thing for escort warships in the Gulf of Aden to enter Somali ports for shelter, and it is not impossible to do so, even if they are at war. The deep meaning hidden under the good reasons of China and Russia can be seen by other countries in the world, and the four countries of the coalition can see it very clearly.

But what if you see it clearly, do you want to protest to these countries? There's no reason for that! The arrival of the cyclone belongs to the natural climate and cannot be controlled by man. China, Russia, Iran and other countries have not violated international law in this regard, nor do they have anything to do with the UN Charter.

Even if it is at war, this is after all a Somali affair, and Somalia is willing to let whoever it wants to dock, and the coalition forces have no reason to refute it. Unless, unless, the coalition forces can find tangible evidence that these warships will supply weapons to Somalia, for which these countries are violating the rules that non-warring nations should abide by, and are a military provocation to the coalition forces.

However, this is obviously impossible, and an army that can keep the coalition forces in the first few hours of the offensive needs outside support? Even if there is secret military assistance, it needs to be substantiated, otherwise even if the United States makes a statement, it will have no effect at all.

Washington, D.C., inside the President's temporary office.

Obama is scrutinizing what is on television with a very serious eye. It's a busy port, and a large fleet of ships in the distance is lining up from a distance at a time. Somali tugboats with welcome flags are busy in the harbor.

The ships in the flotilla were also full of flags of thanks, and in response to the Somali side's welcoming flag, the sailors on the warships also stood neatly on the side of the ship, the bridge walkway, and the bow and stern of the ship.

The Russian heavy armament nuclear-powered missile cruiser Peter the Great, the Glorious-class missile cruiser Moskva, amphibious landing ships, destroyers, anti-submarine ships, supply ships.

The muscles displayed by Russia's so-called escort formation alone are enough to make Obama's face change. If you add the warships of the Chinese side, then Obama will have to take it seriously.

Two 071 amphibious dock landing ships, two 052C China Aegis ships Lanzhou and Haikou, two 054A frigates, and one integrated supply ship Qiandaohu.

On television, none of these warships were left behind, and all of them were safely docked in the harbor of Bagua City with the help of tugboats, and now the Somali side is fully prepared, not only with many media arrivals, but also with a brief welcome ceremony. It gives the impression that these warships are not here to take shelter from the storm, but to come here for an international visit.

It is indeed easy to confuse the public, and this is exactly what Li Lan needs, otherwise such an important political bargaining chip will not be wasted in vain!

In front of the TV, Obama is well aware of the twists and turns, but when it comes to the end, he also knows that this time is not something he can control. Anyway, the Somali side is already at war with the United States, and Li Lan will naturally ignore the existence of the United States. China and Russia are trying to embarrass the United States, let alone listen to the protests of the United States. What's more, these countries occupy the truth, and the United States has no choice but to blame it.

It's a difficult question, and it's a must-answer. If the United States does not respond, how can it send the signal of the United States out of the United States?

"Routine protests! What else can I do now? Obama has considered this law for a long time, "but we must make our attitude clear in the harshest terms." ”

After passing his decision to the Foreign Office, Obama picked up the phone and called Dempsey, first routinely inquired about the war, and before hanging up the phone, he conveyed a secret directive by the way.

Dempsey, who is far away in Georgia, is now covered with chicken feathers and duck blood.

After hanging up the phone, the US military veteran did not have much excitement on his face. The president's orders, he naturally had to carry them out. But the war in front of him made it very difficult for him to choose.

The United States is a country that is willing to take risks, and Americans are also good at creating. But none of this applies to Dempsey, and the most direct effect of any risky move is his own huge casualties. The saying that there is as much danger as there is gain, and it does not apply to Dempsey.

Because once there are too many casualties, victory cannot hide the accusations of the people against him. In the fight against Iraq, the United States occupies various advantages, so the US military can be unscrupulous. Fighting Somalia, so far the coalition forces have not occupied anything except troops.

In order to break the current stalemate, Dempsey has used elite troops as the main force of the offensive, and special forces have infiltrated behind enemy lines, waiting for opportunities to find results, cut off supply lines or logistics camps in Somalia. There is no limit to the mission, and it will be played with the special forces.

On the battlefield, the troops attacking on the front line are the most powerful units in combat effectiveness, with tanks, aircraft and armored vehicles, with strong individual combat capabilities. Every soldier is a good fighter in the American, French, and Italian armies.

However, an hour has passed, and the outcome of this war has not changed much. The ground war is still stalemate, and the air force has too few opportunities to support the ground forces, and as soon as it appears, it will inevitably be intercepted by the Somali air force, and there is no way to talk about ground strikes.

Tanks and armored vehicles, whether M1A2 or upgraded SEP, meet adversaries. Somali anti-tank missiles are enough to destroy the tracks of American tanks or empower to destroy tanks. The main battle tanks owned by Somalia are also very strong, and the US Army armored division in front of the Somali armored forces has a result that shocks every coalition officer. Especially at the beginning of the battle for Galcayo, the 1st Heavy Division of the Red Police Corps behaved unusually fiercely, and it was not inferior to the same heavy division of the US army.

The battle between cities and towns, roaming every street, with bullets flying everywhere, is full of shells and craters, destroyed and burning tanks, and corpses everywhere.

"If this kind of war continues, the result will be only a defeat for both sides, and it depends on who can't bear it first." The situation on the battlefield of the Confluence, Dempsey could not recognize many times in his heart.

Dempsey, who doesn't have many good ideas, can only put his hope of changing the situation on the president's secret order, picking up the satellite phone, "S-class classified code, give me access to Navy SEAL Team 6!" (To be continued......)
