Washington.

On the west bank of the Potomac River, there is one of the most famous national cemeteries in the United States, as a silhouette of American culture, Arlington National Cemetery's vastness and grandeur have been rendered by countless Hollywood blockbusters, with an area of more than 2.48 square kilometers and nearly 300,000 white cross tombstones reminding the United States of the noble words of courage, dedication, glory and justice.

“…… We deeply cherish the memory of all the outstanding soldiers who sacrificed their precious lives for the honor of our country, who came into danger without hesitation to preserve peace in the world, and whose bravery and determination will continue to be the continuation of the American spirit......" Obama said with a solemn face and an affectionate speech to the tens of thousands of people from all walks of life who attended the farewell ceremony for all the dead officers and soldiers.

"Mr. President, there is extremely bad news, the 'Destroyer' plan has completely failed, and only one F-16 of the fighters involved has survived, and the rest are ......." US Air Force Secretary Hagel walked up to Obama in a few steps and relayed in an extremely deep voice the top-secret report he had just received from Andersen Air Force Base.

"What!" Obama's face changed wildly, his body staggered, and he didn't seem to believe his ears, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Fourteen minutes ago, the special forces were ready to cross the border at any time to carry out a complete sabotage operation!" Hagel's expression was resolute, the unexpected event in front of him was simply more intractable than that of the "Providence", for the country of Somalia, a crashed B-2 is like a mine where gold can be found without digging deep, and everything must be destroyed by the most complete means. This is despite the fact that a Raptor has already fallen into Somali hands.

"The wreckage of B-2! Destroy it completely, at all costs! Execute it now! Obama dodged into the bulletproof car, reached for the confidential phone in his hand, and quickly pressed the number keys on it, just as he was about to press the dial button. Obama reacted from his distraction and immediately stopped Hagel, "Forget it, don't let the soldiers go in and die." ”

For the United States, Somalia is really a very sad place, the fall of the Black Hawk is just the beginning, and so far, the only country in the world that can let the United States suffer this series of big losses is Somalia.

Reflecting on what happened to the SEAL team, Obama could only shake his head. Attempts to send special forces to re-enter Somali territory have been stopped.

"Mr. President, for what?" Hagel was a little puzzled, "Didn't our sixth detachment successfully steal the missile radar guide head from Bagua City?" He also killed a lot of Somali soldiers. ”

"Is that really the case?" Obama smiled wryly, "I don't know how this flawless plan failed, but it can wipe us out." One thing is already certain, are the opposing side's anti-aircraft missiles really out of order? Believe me. Li Lan is now waiting for our special forces! ”

After listening to Obama's words. Hagel was silent for a long time.

"As for the wreckage of the plane, what else can be done now? You can only win this war and get those things back. Obama said, his voice shifting, "But be sure to pay close attention." We must not allow these wreckage to fall into the hands of the Chinese and Russians. ”

Thousands of miles away, deep in Somalia.

The falling B-2 stirred up endless fires in the barren field, more than a dozen tons of aviation fuel gave off the heat wantonly under the breeze, and the beating flames violently burned repeatedly on the debris everywhere. The thick smoke mixed with the pungent scorched beard irritated people's nerves in the dark night.

The whirlwind is already very approaching, and at this moment, the wind speed around Bagua City has reached more than seven levels, and the so-called fire is borrowing the wind, and the smell is also drifting into the distance under the strong wind.

As Obama had predicted, Li Lan sent people to wait for the arrival of American special forces at these wreckage. As a result, it was not a disappointment, the American shrunk, and he did not continue to wait. Have the troops quickly clean up the various crash points and catch the pilots who are parachuting.

Now it's time to officially rush because there are less than six hours before the cyclone officially makes landfall, and every hour that passes, the wind will strengthen by a minute.

If you don't clean it up quickly, the wreckage will be gone with the wind.

According to the speed and strength of the whirlwind, in the next sixteen hours, Bagua City will not be able to take off and land any fighters, and currently under the protection of the base, the intruder fighters and Black Hawk fighters have begun to enter the hangar to avoid the whirlwind.

At this time, the center point of the cyclone has driven into the middle of the Gulf of Aden, and the wind speed in Bagua City is soaring every moment.

After the United States did not even have the heart to destroy the wreckage, Li Lan also put away his mind and focused his attention on the Indian Ocean. Neither the coalition forces nor Somalia want this occupation to continue indefinitely.

This rivalry in the Indian Ocean has become the most direct means to break the current unfavorable situation.

Without a decision to dissolve the Somali Navy, the U.S. Navy in the Indian Ocean, there is simply no way to lay siege to Somalia with confidence. Although the pride of the world's No. 1 navy has long been in his heart, the United States looks down on Somalia, or the navies of most countries in the world. However, on the Somali side, two aircraft carriers of more than 80,000 tons have completely become a major problem for the coalition forces.

No one dares to guarantee that this Somali aircraft carrier battle group will not be combat-effective, because in the face of a battle group composed of two aircraft carriers, if the judgment is wrong, no one can afford the losses that the coalition forces may suffer.

If this navy is not resolved, the coalition navy in the Indian Ocean will not be at peace, let alone form a formation to assist the land-based air force in carrying out a military attack on Somalia. If you don't make a good fuss, you will be attacked from both sides by the opponent's land-based aircraft group and aircraft carrier group.

Inside the base's console, a panoramic simulation map of the Indian Ocean unfolds, and a summary of naval intelligence is flipped at your fingertips, looking for anything worth noting.

Eighteen hours ago, an attack nuclear submarine of the aircraft carrier battle group encountered five anti-submarine planes of the coalition forces in the waters around the British Indian Ocean territory in the central Indian Ocean.

Based on the combat radius of the SV-22 Osprey, the Navy quickly deduced that the main force of the coalition Indian Ocean naval fleet, or an anti-submarine combat force, was located in the central part of the Indian Ocean, no more than eight hundred kilometers from the British Indian Ocean territory.

Seeing this information and inference, Li Lan shook his head gently. With a radius of 800 kilometers, it is a very large area for the vast ocean. The value of this inference is not very large. However, the 201 submarine tracked the opponent's main fleet and obtained the movements, which was of great value.

However, at present, these values cannot be used as key intelligence for the decisive battle, because eighteen hours have passed since the last time the coalition capital ship group was known, and variables have been generated, and the reliability of the intelligence has been greatly reduced.

After picking up the phone and connecting to the satellite center, Li Lan directly named: "Immediately mobilize four satellites to pay attention to any changes in the central Indian Ocean." ”

In the next 24 hours, the fighting on the ground and in the air will be at a low point, and the fighters of the Red Guard Corps will not be able to dispatch, and the fighters of the coalition forces will not be able to be dispatched. In the situation of the war, the coalition forces began to switch to a defensive position of suspending the offensive.

Like Li Lan's current thoughts, the coalition forces also hope to achieve results in the Indian Ocean, and then concentrate all their forces on attacking Somalia to end the war with maximum efficiency. It is also to reduce the casualties of ground warfare.

Orbit around the Earth at low altitudes.

The base's spy satellite reconnaissance system is working intensively at the moment, and through the command and deployment of the space center, four reconnaissance satellites in orbit have been temporarily transferred out, and they are rapidly carrying out reconnaissance and scanning with the Indian Ocean as the main target.

After a brief transit, nearly 100 gigabytes of data were quickly forwarded to the Naval Intelligence Center, where they were sorted out and communicated to the submarine fleet lurking beneath the surface of the Indian Ocean via blue laser communications.

Vice Admiral Masulaiman, the commander-in-chief of the Red Guard Corps in charge of this mission, had not closed his eyes for two days at the moment, and the black coffee mixed with sleeping pills was like dry muddy water in his mouth, but in order to stay awake, he still gulped it violently.

The voyage and course of the Allied Navy fleet were now quickly communicated to the intelligence center like a glimpse under a fast camera, and several predetermined assembly ranges were quickly drawn and forwarded to the data processing center for the most detailed evaluation and accounting.

The Somali submarine force, which is the leading force in this operation plan, has already entered the target sea area at this moment and is on standby, but Masulaiman is not excited, and he always feels a little reckless after this plan is proposed.

It is clear that the enemy's strength is beyond what the current Somali submarine forces can withstand, and a rash attack may lead to eventual defeat. Although the two aircraft carriers will be the backing of the submarine force, Admiral Masureman is still unsure about the outcome of the war.

Looking at the real-time reports sent one by one to coordinate the reports and mark the location of the submarine, Masulaiman's heart felt a little uneasy. The plan is too bold, but in the same way, the temptation is also amazing. It was precisely because of this that the command center finally approved the operation after weighing it for a long time.

Li Lan's expectation of victory in this naval battle also put Suleiman under a lot of pressure, as a vice admiral with the ability to command the perfect level, he is the best naval general in the Red Guard Corps, but in such a disparity in strength, using risky tactics to strive for victory is no less than a big gamble.

If you win, you will lose the best opportunity, and the victory of this war will eventually be gone. Because the defense capability of the base is also limited, the current offensive of the coalition forces has reached the limit of its bearing, and it is simply impossible to resist the addition of three 100,000-ton supercarriers.
