What is it like to stand on an aircraft carrier that is 330 meters long and 60 or 70 meters wide?

On the deck, there were no warplanes, only two carrier-based Nighthawk helicopters that picked up Li Lan and the others, a flat straight-through deck, nearly the size of three football fields, and people stood on it, as if they were dwarfs standing on the shoulders of giants.

Li Lan has been on the deck of the aircraft carrier many times, but every time he is indispensable, he is shocked in his heart. Others were even more so, with a look of disbelief on their faces at this moment.

Thirty or so people stood on the deck, just a small handful, and walking on it, they could only feel their own insignificance all the time.

On the deck, the commander of the Red Guard Regiment in military uniform, Ibrahim. Lieutenant General Suleiman was already waiting for everyone on the deck, and when Li Lan and the others walked out of the cabin and looked around curiously, he took a step and walked towards the crowd.

"Welcome to His Excellency the President and all of you to visit the USS Carlin, the contemptible commander of the Somali Navy, Vice Admiral Suleiman."

"The general is gracious." Except for Li Lan, the others looked at the eleven lieutenant generals and hurriedly replied.

"This is the commander of our aircraft carrier battle group and the commander-in-chief of our navy." Li Lan introduced Suleiman to seven foreign ambassadors one by one, as well as to senior Somali officials who did not yet know Suleiman.

Suleiman shook hands with everyone with a smile on his face, and then said, "If you are interested, you can follow me, and I will lead you to visit our aircraft carrier." ”

"It's an honor."

The crowd quickly split into two parts, and Suleiman took a large number of people with him. However, there are also some people who did not follow suit. But after seeing that Li Lan didn't move, he also stopped the pace of this reward to keep up.

Without leaving a trace, Li Lan glanced at the seven ambassadors to Somalia who remained by his side. With a clear heart, he gently touched the general who was squatting at his feet. Then he spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't you want to visit the internal facilities of our aircraft carrier?" ”

"There's no hurry about this, may I ask Mr. President, is this aircraft carrier really built by you? What ...... for?" Yekov said halfway through, and then did not continue, he knew that this half sentence was enough.

The Russians played a role in opening their mouths, and the remaining ambassadors to Somalia also focused their attention on Li Lan.

"Since everyone is so interested. Today is another day to be happy about, and I don't want to hide it. When Li Lan said this, he gave Zheng Xing, who was not far away, a look at him, who nodded as if he understood, and then Li Lan continued to speak: "These aircraft carriers are built by us, and as for what we have done before, there is no news at all, so naturally we have our means." There are too many eyes in this world, but these eyes can't see every corner of the world. ”

Li Lan stood like this, her hands pinned behind her back. There was no beckoning them to find a quieter place, or a place to sit. Instead, right on deck, answer the question.

Next to it, Zheng Xing turned out to be a cameraman's equipment. Resist on the shoulder and start shooting up.

"I beg pardon my curiosity, may I ask if there are still aircraft carriers under construction in your country." Yekov clearly has a lot of problems. There was even a hint of apparition in the words. And no wonder, in the eyes of the Russians. Establish a diplomatic system with Somalia, that is to help. Help the little brother of the future. I didn't expect that the ideal little brother was so powerful, and he was two heavy aircraft carriers as soon as he made a move. So far, Russia has only the Znetsov, a legacy of the former Soviet Union, and it is only a medium-sized aircraft carrier. It was still a glide take-off, and when the two aircraft carriers looked at it, they knew that the road was catapulted and took off. Naturally, after the shock, it is human nature to taste in the heart.

"It is the first time for us to develop aircraft carriers, and now these two aircraft carriers have brought together too much of our energy, which has led to today's results. As for whether there are aircraft carriers under construction, I can only say that two aircraft carriers are absolutely not enough. Li Lan replied ambiguously, whether there is or not, he has no intention of saying it explicitly.

Yekov was silent, but the others did not mean to be silent, and the Iranian ambassador then asked: "Dear Mr. President, may I ask if your two aircraft carriers have formed combat effectiveness?" ”

"A hundred years of navy, a hundred years of aircraft carriers, building aircraft carriers is one thing, using aircraft carriers is another. There is no actual combat test, and I don't know if my soldiers have actual combat ability. Li Lan replied.

"Then will your aircraft carrier be sold, and at what price?" The Argentine ambassador interjected.

Li Lan said in his heart, if you don't plan to sell it, I tell you so much what to do, I wish you could buy a few more.

"Huh! As for foreign trade matters, further consultations are needed, and after a certain consensus is reached, there will naturally be no problem in the sale of aircraft carriers. ”

Selling is naturally to sell, but not now, at least during the war, he definitely does not intend to sell aircraft carriers. Perhaps, when the war is tense, the two aircraft carriers for China will be used by themselves first.

Some people are happy, and naturally some people are worried.

Amid the cheers and cheers of the Somalis, the Americans were not happy, and before the two aircraft carriers had come to a standstill, the American top brass began to shake.

A large number of photos have been transmitted, all pointing to an indisputable fact that Somalia, the country where they are about to launch an offensive, has actually pulled out two heavy aircraft carriers with an estimated displacement of more than 80,000 tons, and there are other supporting warships, a whole two heavy aircraft carrier battle groups, and its naval strength has surpassed that of any country except the United States.

Fighting an opponent who can already be called the fourth naval power in the world, the Americans are extremely angry and at the same time, they are also a little weak in their hearts.

The U.S. navy, army, and air force, which were already ready, stopped all movements in an instant, and even the countdown to the attack was stopped.

All eyes were on the Provisional Presidential Palace. In this situation, to fight or not to fight.

Obama, the decider of the United States, is now even more ambitious. The disappearance of the Carter has not yet figured out what is going on, and the military deployment that was originally good has come to the countdown to the war, but at such a juncture, if the guy with a bad heart or high blood pressure really can't bear such a sudden sense of surprise.

In the president's temporary office, Hagel and Dempsey stood quietly on the sidelines, watching the first black president of the United States pace back and forth in the office.

Today's Obama has been made the first tragic president of the United States. The fact is about the same, a shameless terrorist attack, all the landmark buildings of the United States were destroyed, and the ruins of the White House and the Pentagon, which represent the authority of the government and military hegemony, have not yet been cleaned up.

And it just so happened that there was another person like Li Lan in the world, who was stuck in the throat of the United States like a fishbone, and was still taking root and sprouting, making the United States embarrassed and embarrassed.

The most troublesome thing for the United States is that Li Lan's fish bone is becoming more and more difficult to deal with, and the navy, land, and air forces, which used to take care of him, are now directly reuniting the aircraft carrier, and they are not the kind of little guy who is 10,000 tons. Instead, it came directly to about 80,000 tons, and in terms of strength, no country's aircraft carrier in the whole world except the United States could compete with it.

It's hard to start, but it's like a thorn in the back.

After all, if there is any negligence in the future war of the United States, let alone the global strategy, when China and Russia will besiege it, plus a difficult Somalia to deal with, will the United States have a good end?

"To fight or not to fight? Give it a comment! After walking back and forth almost dizzy, Obama finally set his sights on the secretary of defense and the chairman of the Joint Staff. One is the president's military thinker, the other is the minister in charge of the military, and now Obama can only count on the two men to give a fair opinion.

"Hit!" Hagel said.

"Don't fight!" Dempsey Road.

The two spoke at the same time, and now Obama's head was bigger, "Let's talk about it!" ”

"If we don't fight now, when Somalia becomes stronger in the future, then we will no longer have a chance to face China and Russia!" As a defense minister who advocates peace, Hagel is desperately demanding war at this time, this kind of thinking is naturally not untargeted, there must be a very key factor for him to make a decision against his will to take office, "Somalia already has two heavy aircraft carriers, we don't care where these two aircraft carriers came from, but one thing is certain, Somalia now has two aircraft carriers, then there will definitely be a third and fourth in the future, no one knows how many aircraft carriers Somalia will build."

And is there a participation of other countries in the construction of these aircraft carriers? Will other countries buy these aircraft carriers in the future? We don't know what to do with these questions. ”

Hagel said this, came to these aircraft carrier photos, pointed to the hollow deck above, looked at Obama, and continued: "To train a qualified aircraft carrier combat force, the time and money required are very huge, and I believe that the Somalis of these two aircraft carriers will definitely not have time to form combat effectiveness." Most likely, the other side does not even have a full complement of carrier-based aircraft. The main thing is that the other side does not seem to have supply ships yet. Therefore, the current Somali Navy is, at best, a navy that has not yet grown, and the threat of these two aircraft carriers is not as great as these destroyers.

Time is our chance, and as long as the other side has not yet formed a combat force, then these aircraft carriers are the living coffins of the Somalis at sea. And importantly, we have assembled three aircraft carrier battle groups in the Indian Ocean, which are powerful enough to destroy the Somali navy.

Be sure to strangle the enemy in swaddling clothes. (To be continued......)
