Nestled in the Indian Ocean in East Africa, the Republic of Seychelles, known as a tourist's paradise, is almost impossible for tourists to see at this moment, when Seychelles is supposed to be the peak tourist season.

There is only one reason, all the airspace in the northern part of the Indian Ocean has become a no-fly zone, and almost no cruise ships will approach the surrounding seas.

Seychelles, a British Commonwealth country, is just over 1,000 kilometres from the Indian Ocean coast of Somalia and less than 2,000 kilometres from the British Indian Ocean Territory.

In peacetime, Seychelles is a beautiful country, but in times of war, it is the heart of the spiral.

The United Nations Tourism Agency has announced the places that are not suitable for tourism, in addition to the various battlefields and the warring countries, many island countries in the Indian Ocean that rely on tourism to support their economies are also on the list, and tourists are not encouraged to visit these countries.

It is recommended to go to places far away from the war, such as the Far East, and both sides of the war also hope that travelers do not travel to places where war or war is very likely to break out.

Seychelles is on this list, while the Maldives, not far from Seychelles, does not make the list.

Not because the Maldives is far from the war circle, but because the Maldives is not involved in this war, and Seychelles is already involved.

Although at the time of the outbreak of the war, Seychelles officials had already stated that Seychelles' ports would not provide any assistance to both sides of the war, and all airports would not allow any aircraft from both sides to land.

But despite this, Seychelles is still difficult to get rid of the impact of the war, it is one of the British Commonwealth countries, Britain is still the suzerainty of Seychelles, and the British Queen is still the supreme leader of Seychelles in name.

Even if there was no governor-general, Seychelles would not be able to escape the title. On the other hand, Seychelles and Somalia have very close relations. Somalia annually assists Seychelles with hundreds of millions of dollars in construction funds.

The two sides have very close economic ties and have in-depth cooperation in jointly cracking down on maritime crimes.

The Seychelles Coast Guard also has two scorpions gifted by Somalia, a sign of the close relationship between the two countries.

So. Seychelles is also sandwiched between two military blocs, coupled with its advantageous geographical location, Seychelles, which has no neutral strength at all, even if it firmly asserts its neutrality, is only self-comforting.

Perhaps international law can safeguard Seychelles' neutrality. However, both Somalia and NATO can ignore the neutrality law at all, and both military blocs can already ignore the strength of the United Nations.

As long as the war requires, even if Seychelles is unwilling, it will inevitably succumb to tough means, and there is no need for large troops to press the border, only some small means are needed to make a small country like Seychelles submit, and there is no difficulty at all.

As the fighting on the Mediterranean front intensified, the smoke of war in the Indian Ocean became thicker.

Somalia's major maritime military forces are concentrated in the Seychelles and the central Indian Ocean. It seems that there is nothing to do, but the military contest in the Indian Ocean has already begun.

Outside the Seychelles, a very ordinary civilian helicopter is heading towards the center of the island group.

On the helicopter, Admiral Lynchshan, commander of the Red Alert Navy's Combined Fleet in the Indian Ocean, was now admiring with great interest the natural island scenery of the islands below.

Today, Lynchhill is not wearing a military uniform, just a solemn-looking suit, and by his side is his own chief of staff, as well as the chief of staff of the fleet, Vice Admiral of the Somali Federal Guard - Wang Fujun. (Book friend's real-name cameo)

Far from their own fleet, the two men visited the Seychelles in civilian clothes with only one purpose. Secret meeting with Seychelles executives. The purpose is naturally very simple, the Somali Navy needs the Seychelles.

"After this war, you must come here to enjoy it, it is indeed beautiful." Helicopter. Lynch Hill said suddenly.

"Originally, I always thought that your Lao Lin was a machine, a machine that runs non-stop every day, but now it seems that your Lao Lin is also a person, a person who knows that he should rest." Wang Fujun smiled slightly. Said.

Hearing this, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Lin Qishan's mouth, and he shook his head and said: "Over the years, I haven't taken a good look at the world, and I suddenly see such a beautiful scenery, which is just a little emotional, but after the war, I really need to relax." ”

"I'm afraid that there is no need for the war to end, and the main thing is to move the headquarters here, no." Wang Fu Jun said.

"Not here, such beautiful nature cannot be destroyed by war." Lynch Hill shook his head and said.

"Isn't our purpose this time to turn this place into a forward base for naval aviation and missile forces? At that time, there is also a risk of falling into war, unless we can guarantee that the enemy's fighters will not be able to approach here. Wang Fu Jun said.

"Having said that, we don't have such a good life, the command and coordination of the fleet is not a simple job, we still have more convenience on the command ship, and we can also act with the fleet. And the beautiful scenery here should be the kind of right thing to enjoy by letting go of all the burdens in your heart, once the battle breaks out, no matter how beautiful the surrounding scenery is, it is no different from the poor mountains and bad waters. "Lynch Hill Road.

The atmosphere immediately became heavy, Wang Fujun nodded, and said, "Victory belongs to us in the end." ”

Hearing this, Lynch Hill smiled slightly and did not continue to say anything, but enjoyed the scenery of the island under the helicopter.

Ten minutes later, the helicopter stopped in a private helipad in Victoria, the capital of Seychelles.

More than a dozen people in black who were already waiting here had their cars ready, and Lynch Hill and the two immediately got into a stretch car and drove towards the presidential palace in Victoria.

Half an hour later, inside the Victorian Presidential Palace, the President of the Seychelles, James. The door to Michelle's office was pushed open from the outside, and Fu Jun, the king of Lynch Mountain, walked in as if he were home.

And President James. Michelle was not too surprised, as if she also expected the arrival of the two, and before the two of them could speak, she took the lead in speaking: "Two generals, Seychelles is just an island country that is too small to be able to fight at all, and the country has no economy to fight, so naturally it is impossible for you to be an enemy." I can't mess with you, and I can't afford to mess with the United States, so please raise your hand. ”

"The president seems to be a man of understanding. In that case, I will not beat around the bush, and I will not only come here today to convey to you our friendly greetings from Mr. President, but also hope that you will consider our proposal again. Lynch Hill found a chair and sat down, and said.

"There's nothing to think about. Your fighter planes can completely destroy us, but the missiles of NATO's naval and air forces in the Indian Ocean territory will also destroy our small country as soon as possible. We have no intention of competing for hegemony, we just want to live in peace. "James. Michelle said in a pleading tone.

Sitting in his position, no one can afford to offend, and can only pray that he can remain neutral and not get involved in the war of either side, otherwise the little Seychelles will be eaten without a single left.

For James. Michelle's words, Lynch Hill has also been prepared for a long time, and this time he came over to completely change James. Michelle's attitude.

It is impossible for Seychelles to remain neutral, except because of its geographical location. It is also because Seychelles has two airports of sufficient size to take off and land large transport aircraft to meet the needs of strategic delivery and transshipment.

This has a huge effect on the next Indian Ocean operation, and the navy can also rely on the Seychelles to carry out nearby replenishment, and the supply ships in the fleet can directly replenish here, and then return to the fleet to replenish the fleet. This saves the time of going back and forth for two or three days.

"We fully understand the wishes of the people of Seychelles and will not affect your lives due to the war. This has caused a huge loss to the tourism industry, and I have brought about a practical friendship with our President, not to the people of Seychelles, and to ensure that you will not be involved in the war. Lynch Hill began.

Beside. As soon as Lin Qishan's words fell, Wang Fujun took out his mobile phone from his pocket, clicked on the screen of the mobile phone, projected the content of the mobile phone in front of everyone, and said: "This is the cost of renting your port and airport during the war. Enough to satisfy the appetite of the people of Seychelles. ”

James. Michelle shook her head and said: "To be honest, I am also very excited, but the economy is not the main reason, it is really Seychelles that cannot withstand the toss of war." ”

Lin Qishan waved his hand, motioned for Wang Fujun to put away his mobile phone, and continued: "The reason why I brought my chief of staff here today is to dispel Mr. President's worries.

Although I don't know what kind of price NATO will give the president to start, I believe that what we can give is what the Seychelles people want. ”

James. Michelle asked, "Listen up to you." ”

Lynchhill slowly stood up, walked to the national map next to the president's office, and said: "Seychelles is only more than a thousand kilometers away from our east coast, whether it is our warplanes or missiles, they can quickly destroy everything on these islands, and there is no need for our fleet to take action."

So no matter what price NATO offers, I believe that Mr. President will not be able to agree to it, because no price can be enjoyed by the Seychellois. But we are different, the place where NATO can threaten the Seychelles is only one place, the British Indian Ocean possessions.

For decades, under the management of Britain and the United States, the British Indian Ocean Dependency has long been a very strong military base in the Indian Ocean, from which NATO strategic bombers can set off to bomb the whole of Africa and the Middle East.

Seychelles is naturally within the scope of a full-scale attack, and I think that's why Mr. President has been hesitant to make a decision. But IMHO, it is impossible for Seychelles to remain neutral, and sooner or later both we and NATO will need this place as a transit point for supplies.

Over the years, NATO has never given up on wooing you, and we have not given up either, and Seychelles has also been around for more than ten years, and it is time to make a final decision.

However, I'm not here to have a final showdown with you, and we don't intend to spoil all the good things here, we just want to show Mr. President a movie, a real movie, and I believe that after the movie, Mr. President will make the most rational decision. ”

After Lin Qishan finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and then the four men in black pushed the door and walked in, each with a large box in their hands.

The four people who came in were busy without others, and soon in the open space in the office, the projection device had been placed. The four of them pulled the empty box and walked out.

Only then did Lynchishan continue to speak: "Next, Mr. President, please." Enjoy it. ”

"What do you want me to see?" James, who has been watching all this calmly. Michelle, finally couldn't help but ask.

"I think you'll figure it out in a long time." Lin Qishan replied, and then gave Wang Fujun a look, who nodded and stepped forward to turn on the projector.

Forthwith. A clear picture appeared in front of their eyes, and on the clear sea, an oval circular island appeared on the projection.

James. Michelle recognized it immediately that it was the British Indian Ocean territory and the closest NATO maritime military base to Somalia.

The group of islands is located in the heart of the Indian Ocean. It is possible to hold the entire central part of the Indian Ocean.

To the west, the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean can be controlled, and to the east, all routes to the North Pacific can be restricted.

The British Indian Ocean Territory has always been an important military base for Britain and the United States, but it has always been the Americans who operate it.

When the United States launched wars against Israel and Afghanistan, it was strategic bombers that took off from here to carry out strategic bombing of the two countries.

On the main island, Diego Garcia, the United States has built a military base of a very complete scale, which is fully capable of taking off any aircraft of the US military.

At the same time, a very complete naval relay supply base has also been built in the island group, which can dock two aircraft carrier battle groups at the same time for replenishment, which is an important supply extension of the US Navy's long-sea operations.

There are no inhabitants on the island. The former aborigines have also been expelled from the island, and now, in addition to the U.S. military, there are only some contractors' construction teams left to continue the military development of the island.

When the war broke out, Li Lan's eyes were immediately fixed on this place, and as the only NATO military base in the Indian Ocean that could limit its naval strength, this place naturally became a target that had to be eliminated.

From the very beginning of the war, Lynch Hill received orders to control the Indian Ocean, which was the British Indian Ocean Territory. It is necessary not only to destroy this island, but also to take it for itself, so that the Red Guard fleet will have a broader space for extended operations.

However, this group of islands is not so easy to occupy. In the past decade or so, the U.S. military has been increasing the pace of military construction on this island, with tens of thousands of Marines stationed and a large number of strong bunkers and fortifications.

The island's material reserves are not only sufficient, but also very safe, and the island also has a certain scale of combat aircraft and air defense forces. U.S. submarines and surface ships are also cruising around. It is a fairly strong military fortress, and even the Red Guard Navy needs to face certain difficulties when it has an absolute superiority in strength.

And when attacking here, we also have to consider Australia not far away, where a large number of NATO member navies are gathering, once it is unable to quickly capture the British Indian Ocean territory, it will also evolve from a small island battle to a tug-of-war.

It is not a wise move to spend unnecessary naval strength in this place.

Moreover, if it were to attack by force, it would not be possible to quickly attack the British Indian Ocean territory.

On the contrary, it is very likely to evolve into a World War II period when Japan and the United States fought for islands in the Pacific Ocean, because the soldiers of the U.S. Marine Corps were ready to defend the islands and wait for rescue.

In conventional warfare, even with well-prepared firepower, it is difficult to destroy the defensive forces above, and once the landing battle begins, it will be a bitter battle.

This kind of battle is something that any commander must avoid, and no one likes modern warfare, the fast-paced battles that are fought, and the combat mode like this, which is very likely to fall into a bitter battle.

Moreover, if such a war were to be fought, it would be better to encircle the British Indian Ocean territory, and then skip this place directly, and ensure that the American forces above could not threaten the safety of the rear of the fleet, and then directly march into the eastern Indian Ocean.

However, in order to better supply the fleet to fight in the eastern Indian Ocean, the importance of the British Indian Ocean territory is still crucial.

Seychelles served as the first relay supply point, but could not quickly resupply the main naval ships in the eastern Indian Ocean.

But when combined with the British Indian Ocean Territory, the situation is very different.

It is clear to everyone that if a naval battle breaks out in the Indian Ocean, it will be absolutely unprecedented in scale, because both sides have accumulated too much naval power.

You can't just take out a little bit to make a show, you can only do it all.

The size of the Somali Navy's fleet in the Indian Ocean has reached the size of thirteen aircraft carrier battle groups, plus amphibious combat groups and submarines and various other fleets, and all its operational ships are no less than three hundred.

Such a large fleet group is no longer enough for supply ships, and can only be quickly replenished through the nearest fixed port.

Although the Seychelles is convenient, it is still far from the eastern Indian Ocean.

However, the British Indian Ocean Territory is different, not very far from the eastern Indian Ocean, with sound ports and air bases, which are definitely a key link in the ocean-going supply line.

If the Red Guard Navy wants to go to the ocean to fight, this place must be captured, otherwise it is very likely that the fleet fighting on the front line will have a crisis of declining combat effectiveness because of the untimely supply.

After all, Somalia is not like NATO, in the eastern part of the Indian Ocean, there are places where supplies can be replenished, from north to south, from Indonesia to Australia.

So, for the Somali Navy, the British Indian Ocean Territory is even more important here. (To be continued.) )xh118
