"We have absolute crushing air superiority, in Europe we have assembled more than 50,000 aircraft of all kinds, with more than 5,000 fourth-generation fighters, 40,000 unmanned aerial vehicles, with more than 100,000 excellent pilots, millions of ground crews, as long as we need, we can completely use absolute air superiority, completely control the control advantage of this war, with absolute strength, in one fell swoop, to provide our navy and land forces, to provide the most complete combat environment......"

"The Mediterranean Sea has been completely controlled by us, our navy and marines will continue to support the African battlefield through the Mediterranean, can transport millions of tons of supplies every day to supply the front-line combat troops, can send hundreds of thousands of troops to the front line every day, our missiles will cover the entire African sky, the earth is about to begin to tremble, the enemy will quickly drown under our absolute firepower, completely lose the hope of victory in the war......"

……

In the console of the base, Li Lan casually flipped through a few pages of NATO's mainstream media reports, and the media offensive of the war had already begun.

There is no doubt that he and Somalia have been portrayed as positive examples of brutal rule. Called a new generation of careerists who surpassed Hitler, for personal gain. Again and again, they have waged evil wars and completely destroyed world peace. The whole world has been plunged into war again.

And such or similar remarks appear in various media in NATO every day, and Li Lan's current reputation has long been notorious in NATO, as if overnight, he has become a hideous demon, and it is definitely the kind that can stop children from crying at night.

In this regard, he only smiled slightly after looking at it, and his mouth grew on someone else's hand. He can't control how others want to arrange it.

Because from the very beginning, he was promoting the negativity of NATO, and everyone was also fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter.

Nowadays, most Africans also regard NATO as a devil, because NATO troops are the devil who have come to take away their good life now.

Under the constant bombardment of propaganda and news in the media and this kind of broadcasting, even if it is fake, it will quickly become true and widely circulated.

But. He is still very attentive to some of the news in various news.

The media will release a lot of information, some true and some false, and some of which are difficult to distinguish between true and false. It is purely to confuse the enemy, and of course some are also to unite the people.

Since the outbreak of the war, the mainstream media of NATO countries have published a total of thousands of reports about the war. One-third of them are used to tell the news that the African people urgently need to be rescued from Li Lan's hands, and the rest is the news of the military state.

The first third. Li Lan always looked at it with the mentality of a bystander, mainly paying attention to the reports of these media on the war and the preparations for war in various countries.

In order to appease the population. Naturally, NATO needs to release some news that can stabilize the people's hearts, and now that the war has just begun, no one has won a decisive victory, and it is not enough time to use the victory to boost the people's hearts.

Therefore, the media can only adopt the theory of absolute power to strengthen the centripetal force, combine it with the malicious propaganda against Li Lan, take the general interests of mankind as the leading factor, unite the people's will to fight, and make the public will obey the country's will to war, so that the people can support the war, and no longer consider the war in terms of casualties, but think about the war in terms of the general interests of the country and the nation.

From NATO's reports publicizing its powerful military superiority, Li Lan also found some news that he was interested in.

The main thing is the determination of NATO to fight, and he believes the veracity of these reports. There are definitely 50,000 aircraft assembled in Europe and NATO, and even more than 50,000.

The number of pilots of the hundreds of thousands is only a preliminary number, because this number will be more, and the reserve pilots in the United States alone are more than this number. Millions of ground crews are also normal data, otherwise who will serve tens of thousands of aircraft?

Such data, combined with the data collected by intelligence officers, can be slightly compared, and the real data exposed in these news can be roughly judged.

Li Lan soon had an answer: In this report to NATO's Associated Press, the data on various weapons were false, and the number was underreported, and the number of various types of aircraft of NATO's air force assembled in Europe was at least about 70,000. The vast majority of them are small drones.

As for NATO's air supremacy of completely controlling the war with absolute air superiority, Li Lan just felt funny.

If it is really as NATO said, it only needs to gather all forces to destroy the Somali air force in one fell swoop and seize air supremacy, then the current Somali Federation has already been shrouded in the flames of air raids.

Because this is absolutely impossible, first of all, it is impossible for NATO to send air forces that can overwhelm the level of Somalia's native air defense in one go, unless the entire Middle East is occupied by NATO, southern Africa also falls into the hands of NATO, and the Indian Ocean on the other side is also controlled by NATO air forces.

Then, after at least a few months of preparation, a large number of warplanes will be mobilized to the periphery of Somalia, and at least a number of warplanes capable of dispatching more than 3,000 warplanes at one time will be assembled, and then pressed towards the Somali Federation from four directions at the same time, otherwise it will be impossible for NATO to destroy Somalia's air defense and air supremacy capabilities in one go.

And no one can send such a huge number of fighters from Europe to the Somali Federation, the combat radius of fighters is not so far, and it is unrealistic to increase the range of tankers under such a number.

Even if these difficulties can really be resolved, it will take at least half a year for NATO to prepare, so Li Lan purely regarded this as a joke.

The local defense capability of the base, even if there is no air supremacy defense of fighters, relies only on ground air defense weapons. It's not something that can be threatened by thousands of warplanes.

You know, the current Somali Federation. It has one of the most famous buildings in the world, the Guangling Pagoda. It is known as the country of towers by the world. The reason why it is famous is not only because of the beauty that Guangling Pagoda exudes at night, but also because of the quantity. In the Somali Federation, these towers can be seen on any piece of land.

Especially along the coastline, there is one such Guangling Pagoda every five kilometers along the entire coastline, turning tens of thousands of kilometers of coastline of the Federation of Somalia into the most beautiful coastline in the world, and is known as the world's first lighthouse coastline.

It's just that outsiders don't know that. These so-called towers are not intended to shape the characteristics of Somalia, let alone attract tourists and create a unique landscape belonging to Somalia, but to form a laser defense network covering the entire territory of the Somali Federation.

Underneath the beautiful scenery and appearance, there are often endless murderous motives, and although these towers have never shown their true effect to outsiders, Li Lan has never questioned the role of these towers.

In peacetime, these hundred-meter-high towers. It is a national symbol, a beacon on the city and coastline at night, and a barrier in times of war.

It's not so much that there are more of these fighters. It would be better to bring in a few more arsenal ships, all carrying supersonic cruise missiles, and then launch missile strikes together towards the Somali mainland. In this way, Li Lan can feel some pressure.

Still, this propaganda of NATO. It's still very effective, even if the offense is weak. But it is enough to tell the whole of Europe that it is impossible for Somali warplanes to come in, because the European sky is an indestructible line of defense.

Combined with the reports on the front line of the Mediterranean, NATO is not only explaining to the people, NATO has the advantage and belief of victory, and has the ability to absolutely protect homeland security.

Li Lan does not intend to refute this, nor does he need to refute it, because he really does not have the ability to do this to Europe itself, and the strategic strike weapon has not yet been put into use.

On the other hand, Somalia is not so powerful now, and he has begun to put into production all the sub-base combat vehicle factories that can be put into production, and a large number of skilled workers have received notices to take up or change positions.

With the improvement of the entire industrial chain, a truly powerful Somali federation is about to burst out with industrial production capacity that will shock the world.

"Commander, the foreplay for the counterattack on Cairo is all ready." Natasha walked up behind Li Lan and reported.

"If you really sing and we take the stage, let's start!" Li Lan said lightly.

The order was instantly communicated to every unit at the grassroots level, and in Cairo, four operational groups were mobilized simultaneously.

The command team happened to kill the guards outside the command center of the Cairo Municipal Building, and the nine special forces immediately took out their weapons from the dining truck, and the demolition team placed directional blasting explosives on the gate of the command center.

Three seconds later, the door was blown open, and nine people rushed in, and dozens of staff officers and staff members in the NATO Egypt Theater Command did not react at the moment of the explosion.

The nine special forces who rushed in quickly had already opened fire quickly, and the guards in the command center were killed one after another as soon as they put their palms on their holsters.

Then there were the staff officers inside, and then there were those staff, the commander of the Egyptian theater of operations, the lieutenant general of the US Army didn't even have a chance to react, he was killed as soon as possible, and naturally passed through his head, leaving a large patch of blood on the curtain behind him.

The nine people who completed the operation naturally completely exposed them in an instant, and a large number of soldiers rushed up one after another, successfully completing the decapitation operation, and they were also in crisis.

At the same time, in front of the gate of Egyptian state television, Egyptian Vice President Badi, escorted by a large number of soldiers, also arrived at the television station in an armored car, but at the moment when he got out of the car, two bullets opened two bloody holes in his body at the same time, one in the head and one in the heart.

The vice president of Egypt, before he could announce anything to the people, collapsed at the gate of the television station, and everything was too sudden.

At the same time, the mosque where the regular Egyptian army was held was also subjected to a special attack, the NATO defenders inside were cleaned up, many prisoners were released, the weapons and equipment of the prisoners were picked up, and the operation to rescue the others was participated, and soon the entire prisoner camp was liberated.

The Red Guard Corps, which received the order, also launched a counterattack at the same time.

In order to regain the honor and the shame of the retreat just now, the commander of the Red Police Air Force Smith. Triumphant. Two air divisions were directly mobilized to participate in the struggle for air supremacy in Cairo, and one air division of the garrison was mobilized. Assist from the side.

Although the garrison air force unit is considered a second-line unit in the Somali Federation, it is equipped with fighter planes of the Chinese Air Force. Whether it is training or training requirements, it is the standard version of the world's first-class air force.

The pilots of the garrison air force who participated in the war for the first time were all screaming to catch up with the first echelon of the Red Alert Air Force, and they looked unwilling to lag behind.

Three air divisions and more than 300 fighters arrived in the airspace over Cairo at the same time, and a new air supremacy battle immediately began.

Although there are fighters that come to support them in the future, they are all refueling tactics.

Fighting on the ground came after the outbreak of the Air Force. It also unfolded. Instead of dense fire coverage and massive bombardment, two Red Alert light infantry divisions attacked directly from the perimeter of Cairo, and on their side, Egyptian Defense Forces units.

Egyptian Defense Force soldiers in secret bomb shelters in the city also began to emerge from the secret exits of the bomb shelters, and the battle was once again taking place in Cairo, a city that was somewhat thousands of years old.

The battle for the city was surprisingly gentle because of the troops on both sides. All received can not destroy the historical sites of this city.

However, the destruction began to spiral out of control with the advance of helicopter gunships and ground main battle tanks on both sides.

The fighting is raging in the city, but both sides have shown restraint and tried not to attack civilians and targets of historical value. But on the battlefield far from these places. The brutality of the war has not diminished at all.

There was fighting everywhere, and even though they had been kept as far away from civilians as possible, there were still many civilians affected by the fighting.

At the beginning of the war. NATO troops were instantly leaderless due to the decapitation of their command. As a result, NATO forces had to retreat one after another.

The Provisional Command was quickly established, and the subsequent further landing of amphibious forces in support of Cairo was carried out. The scales of war are slowly beginning to flatten.

The battle for the city of Cairo was heated an hour after the first hour, and after the Red Guard Corps committed two infantry divisions and an armored brigade, the Egyptian side also invested two infantry divisions, and the subsequent garrison also reinforced an armored division and a mechanized infantry division.

Nearly 100,000 men from the entire six divisions were all thrown into the battlefield in Cairo within six hours, dispatching more than 200 helicopter gunships, more than 300 main battle tanks, and more than 1,000 armored vehicles.

NATO, on the other hand, also increased its troops to 120,000 within six hours, and 80,000 were put into the battlefield in Cairo.

The battle stretched from the city of Cairo to the outskirts, and even to the Suez Canal, where hundreds of thousands of troops were entangled.

It was the largest battle since the outbreak of this war, and the air forces of both sides showed no weakness.

Both NATO and Somalia have invested a large number of main air force forces in this airspace, and in six hours, thousands of sorties from both sides, and various air bases in Italy have become extremely busy.

This kind of white-hot battle naturally brought about a lot of casualties on both sides, but at this time, casualties were no longer a factor in measuring the value of war.

Both sides are betting on the future of the national fortune of a war, not for one-sided interests, not a business, if not successful, can only be benevolent, unless it is a complete defeat, the casualties of the army can no longer interfere with the continued development of the war.

From this moment on, Egypt also completely became the focus of the war between the two sides, and the prelude to a larger war began.

The battle lasted a full forty-eight hours, and both sides only silently increased their forces, and the battle line was further extended.

However, to the dismay of both sides, after forty-eight hours, neither had achieved a decisive advantage.

This kind of evenly matched battle has not appeared for a long time, and it can be said that it has not appeared since World War II.

This is a brutal war of attrition for both sides, but no one can stop it.

Once either side is discouraged, it will immediately be at a disadvantage, and they can only devote themselves to this war with all their strength.

However, this war is the real disaster for the Egyptian people, the war has caused them to lose their peaceful life, their homes are full of bullets every day, and the sound of shells and explosions in their ears has never subsided.

A large number of Egyptian civilians had to leave the center of the fighting far away, because they could no longer bear the tremendous physical and mental pressure caused by the fighting around them.

A large number of civilians in Cairo began to evacuate, large numbers of gathering areas began to be set up far from the battlefield, and tents represented homeless families.

Schools were closed, industry and traffic were paralyzed, communications and networks were controlled, and all normal life disappeared from the Egyptian people.

The war is taking their lives, their homes are being destroyed, and the only way to avoid the poison of war is to leave their homeland.

For both sides of the war, the battle was also unprecedentedly cruel, and this was not only a test for the soldiers on both sides, but also a test for the command.

For both NATO and Somalia, this kind of fighting is deeply unfamiliar to them.

In addition to constantly putting troops on the battlefield, the same problem was facing both sides, and tactics had to be changed.

Otherwise, these drains will continue, and sooner or later they will be unbearable. (To be continued......)
