In US airspace, accompanied by two F-15 fighters, the huge US Air Force One flew quietly at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

Air Force One is one of the most striking aircraft in the world. In addition to transporting the president of the United States, this giant blue and white plane is the most obvious sign of American power. The services and facilities on Air One are incomparable to other civil airlines.

In fact, Air Force One does not refer to an airplane, but the plane of the President of the United States, which is Air Force One.

Regardless of which aircraft is on Air Force One's mission, all Air Force One flights are part of the Air Force's military operations and are handled by the President's Flight Team at Andrew Air Force Base in Maryland. From the original White House to Andrew Air Force Base, the president usually first takes the U.S. Marine Corps' special helicopter, Marine One. Similarly, the Army vehicle carrying the President is called Army One, the Navy vehicle carrying the President is called Navy One, and the civilian aircraft carrying the President is called Executive One.

At present, the most used by the President of the United States are two VC-25A aircraft, tail number 28000 and SAM29000.

At the same time, although these two cars exclusive to the President of the United States are not fighter jets, their real power will be incomparable to any weapon. It can be called the most sophisticated and destructive aircraft in the world. Its electronic countermeasures system can jam enemy radars, confuse the missile's sighting system, making it impossible to lock on to the target. It is also equipped with a directional weapon system that can determine the orientation of incoming missiles and fire laser or infrared beams that disrupt the missile's guidance system. Its detection equipment is also very complete. It can cooperate with space-based and land-based detection networks to detect threatening air targets in a timely manner. and promptly notify the nearest U.S. military or allied warplanes to provide air support.

The pulse-frequency radio communication equipment with air-to-air and air-to-ground functions on these two special planes can be used when affected by a nuclear explosion or interference by foreign radio waves. Ensure the safety of the personnel on board and the normal operation of communication equipment. With a range of up to 11,500 kilometers without refueling in the air, the time spent in the air is about 12 hours, and if refueling is carried out, it can stay in the air for 72 hours, enough to send the President of the United States anywhere in the world.

In addition to symbolizing the supreme military rights and hegemonic status of the United States, these two planes will also undertake the important task of a secondary nuclear counterattack in the event of a war. In the event of a full-scale nuclear war in the United States, the president will board the plane as quickly as possible. Then take off, command all the strategic forces of the US military, carry out the second nuclear counterattack plan, and assume the subsequent nuclear war command platform.

At this moment, on the Air Force One with a tail number of 28,000, Obama, who has just finished a new round of speeches and reassuring the public, does not even have time to rest. In the presidential office inside Air Force One, the Presidential Service Commissioner put down his coffee and was about to leave. Hagel walked in just right.

"Your Excellency, this is a photo that has just been sent back by satellite." After the attendant left, Hagel put the papers on his desk.

Obama rubbed his temples and did not open the file. Instead, he took a sip of coffee with a tired face, and said helplessly: "Is there any bad news?" ”

Hagel is also very helpless in his heart, and there has been a series of things for a while. There is not a single high-level member of the entire U.S. government who is not angry, except for constantly reassuring the people. There is also the need to endure the ongoing changes in Somalia, which the United States has no time to take into account now. I can only lock my thoughts helplessly. Sit and watch the world but can't do anything.

"Yes, we have found two more aircraft carriers in Somalia, the same as the two aircraft carriers numbered 021 and 022 before. At present, the two aircraft carriers are preparing to be launched on the slipway, according to intelligence, the shipyards in Somalia are closed, and some of the suspicious targets identified by the Ministry of Defense before are Somali shipyards, which is also for the sake of why our satellites cannot detect the warships under construction in Somalia. ”

"These two aircraft carriers, and conventionally powered aircraft carriers?" Once again, Obama put the thumbs of both hands on his temples and rubbed them.

"According to the scale of satellite pictures, these two aircraft carriers are of the same class as the two aircraft carriers that have been commissioned before, with exactly the same length and width, and there are no obvious changes to the basic appearance." Hagel said.

"In just a few years, there are four aircraft carriers." Obama looked at Hagel, who was crawling with wrinkles, and asked with some puzzlement: "There is no country in the world that has more experience in using aircraft carriers and developing a navy than we do, and I have always been curious, according to the economy of Somalia, not even a destroyer can be built, how can they feed such a huge armament?" Far from it, even if Somalia has a well-established industry that we don't know very well, but their economy can't be raised by an aircraft carrier, there must be something in it that we don't know. And I have a hunch that perhaps this mysterious factor, officially the reason for our failure. ”

"What do you mean?" Faced with Obama's sudden emotion, Hagel was a little puzzled.

"The training and expenditure of the army is a hard indicator, and we know this better than anyone else; in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of this force, we need to spend at least $300 billion a year, plus the research funds for new weapons, and the order of various weapons, the annual military expenditure is more than 600 billion yuan. The size of the Somali army is only a few hundred thousand, and there are only about 100,000 troops that can compete with us. According to the statistics of the think tank, such an army needs to spend at least $80 billion a year on maintenance, and if new warships continue to be built, the cost will increase even further. At least 120 billion yuan of military spending is needed every year to support it. Aren't you curious? Somalia, oh no, how did Li Lan raise this army? ”

In Obama's eyes, Somalia would be nothing without Li Lan, and it would be better to say that the United States lost to Somalia than to Li Lan. Because without Li Lan, there would be no Somali army.

Hagel understood what Obama meant, and he also had some answer in his heart: "According to the information of the World Continent Bank, just three days ago, the head of China No. 1 transferred a huge amount of $50 billion into Li Lan's account in the World Fortune Bank. That might explain all this. ”

Obama shook his head very dryly, he did not agree with this statement, because according to his analysis, it is impossible for China to raise such a large army overseas, because with such funds, it is better to increase the construction of domestic troops, and this is completely inconsistent with China's military strategy.

"This reason can be ruled out, the $50 billion is to support the infrastructure of Somalia, and I can now conclude that this money will not be used in Li Lan's army in the end. As you must know, Li Lan's army not only has advanced combat equipment, but also surprises us very much in terms of individual soldiers. Even China has not yet thoroughly developed and formulated the Somali digital individual equipment that is comparable to our land warrior system, but Li Lan's army has begun to equip a large number of equipment and use it in actual combat.

I have here a summary of the defeats in battle, which has a lot of interesting analysis. One of the reports on Somali individual weapons pointed out: Judging from the Somali rifles we have captured, there is a big technological gap between the Chinese Type 97 assault rifles commonly used by them and the Type 97 produced in China. The workmanship of the 97 type used by Li Lan's unit is so meticulous that it is more rigorous than that of German craftsmanship, and it can be said that every part is exactly the same, and even with a microscope, there is not much difference. It is as if they are not produced, but reproduced. It's like copying and pasting on a computer. ”

"I've also read this report, what does this mean?" Hagel still couldn't understand what was going on in the president's mind at the moment.

"The problem is big, in our world, such a mysterious military industrial cluster suddenly appeared, but we didn't know anything about it before. If before the war, we could still explain that the various weapons that Li Lan possessed were supported by China, then we can now determine that the weapons and equipment in Li Lan's army were made by a group that we do not know about, and this group is the reason why Li Lan has such strength today. Obama said cautiously.

"You mean the Future Technology Group?" Now that Hagel has also understood, after a simple analysis in his heart, he continued: "This Future Technology Group belongs to Li Lan, which can already be determined, and when did this Future Technology Group begin to be established? And how did their military industry develop? How many potentially unknown technologies have yet to emerge? Are these what you're thinking about right now? ”

Obama shook his head very simply in response to Hagel's words, and all the summary information after the defeat of this war kept coming to mind, and said: "In my opinion, this future technology group is more like an organization that Li Lan pushed to the forefront, otherwise in the past history, if there was this organization, we would not have no intelligence at all." As I just said, behind Li Lan, there must be a huge secret, and only by thoroughly understanding this secret can we know the hidden secret.

Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to explain how Li Lan got the funds to raise such a sophisticated army of the three armed services, nor can he explain why he was able to build such a powerful industry in such a short period of time. There are a few countries in the world that can build an 80,000-ton heavy aircraft carrier, and none of these countries that have the ability to build an 80,000-ton aircraft carrier has not gone through decades of scientific and technological and industrial accumulation.

If we don't understand the secret behind Li Lan, it is difficult for us to truly solve such a mystery in the world, and we can only speculate without facts. (To be continued......)
