Chapter 615 615 Al-Qaeda on the surface
In terms of military strength, Yugoslavia was more than a step stronger than Albania, which was still equipped with relatively old Soviet weapons, and did not raise the level of weapons of its army again after the drastic changes in Eastern Europe, and even had relatively little cooperation and exchanges with military powers. On the other hand, Yugoslavia completed the "sinicization of the troops" after the 90s, and its people's army was built with the characteristics of the Chinese PLA, and its weapons and equipment were also considered strong, so after the two sides rolled up their sleeves and started drying, Albania was far less powerful than when it put its mouth on its own artillery, and the Albanian military facilities on the border with Yugoslavia were continuously attacked by the artillery and aviation units of the Yugoslav People's Army, and suffered heavy losses.
The Yugoslav Federal Forces have also stopped entering Albanian territory to conduct ground operations, and have relied on their stronger military strength to sporadically attack military installations in Albania, especially those marked as Albanian armed strongholds. After the Yugoslav Federation experienced a one-day air raid by NATO, the air force fleet suffered certain losses, and then Yugoslavia joined the SCO, and the SCO Council passed a resolution to lease a batch of 60 mothballed and retired J-10A fighters from China to Yugoslavia free of charge to enhance its air defense capability.
As the fourth generation fighter beloved by the Chinese Air Force, including the J-10, the two models A and B provided by Qi Yiming for the Air Force, China has manufactured more than 2,000 of them. Among them, the J-10A manufacturing capacity is 1066 aircraft, and now in addition to more than 100 aircraft are still in service with the Chinese Air Force, the vast majority of them have been retired and mothballed, and the age of the aircraft is very new, basically in the early ten years. Although these fighters have been mothballed, Qi Yiming estimates that the chance of being able to use them in the future is very small, because the whole army is building a large-scale fifth-generation aircraft, such as the Jian-31 project, and in order to quickly equip them, the military has already set up production lines in the three aircraft factories of Shenfei, Gagarin, and Shenghua, and the annual output can reach 500 and nearly 600 aircraft under the condition of full operation.
In this situation, Qi Yiming thought about finding some use for this batch of mothballed J-10A, and it was obvious that it was a good way out to use it for the weak allies of the Air Force. In particular, the SCO's Eastern European allies still have a small number of military aircraft compared to several military powers in the Asia-Pacific region, and Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, and even Czechoslovakia, which is about to leave, do not have more than 100 fighter jets.
The SCO's NATO enemies in Europe, such as Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain, are all very strong, and even with the assistance of Chinese troops in Europe, it will be difficult to resist the NATO air force, so it is very necessary to continuously enhance the air defense strength of these countries.
The big war is coming, Qi Yiming will not care too much about the question of whether there is money or not, hundreds of J-10A will come to Europe in this way of free lease to improve the overall strength of the European part of the SCO.
As a medium-sized multi-role fighter that China favors, although the J-10 is not as good as the J-9 "bomb truck", the bomb load of more than seven tons can also make it better to perform ground missions.
The Yugoslav Air Force dispatched a number of J-10s, as well as its own modified Yug-5, as well as several Flying Leopard fighters, forming echelon aircraft groups and striking targets in Albania, causing considerable losses to the Albanian side. More importantly, although the air raids did not cause any casualties or losses to the Albanian people, they caused them great panic. Some Albanians, believing that war was coming, packed up their belongings and fled with their families to Italy and Greece, even if the government intervened to stop it.
Through the Yugoslav military operation, the Albanian government also realized that it could not withstand the strong military power of Yugoslavia, and could only start to turn to the European Union, the United States, and the United Nations, hoping that they could help Albania mediate.
European and American countries have spoken out to condemn Yugoslavia, but none of them have said that they will launch another military strike. And it seems that after a good fight, Yugoslavia also stopped air raids and artillery bombardment, unilaterally withdrawing from military operations. In fact, a unilateral ceasefire in Yugoslavia is tantamount to a cooling of the conflict, because with the extent of Albania's damage, it is difficult to launch an offensive that can threaten Yugoslavia. And the most unstable Albanian armed forces have also suffered huge losses in the process, and even if they want to retaliate against Yugoslavia, it will not be easy.
Although Yugoslavia and Albania have not signed a ceasefire agreement, a substantial ceasefire has been reached, and Yugoslavia has no intention of further knocking Albania, and Albania is powerless to fight back against Yugoslavia. However, with this reason, the United States has found a good helper. In response to Yugoslavia's military pressure, Albania urgently needed assistance from outside, especially military aid. The White House decisively provided Albania with a sum of military aid, which was insignificant compared to China's military aid to the SCO countries, but it also gave Albania some peace of mind.
In addition, there are voices in the United States that hope to station troops in Albania or Greece to contain the Chinese troops in Europe in the Balkans, and at the same time cooperate with the troops of its NATO allies to form an encirclement of the SCO countries.
Yugoslavia is not the only one in trouble. After Albania was suppressed by Yugoslavia by force, many Islamic countries condemned Yugoslavia's actions and expressed solidarity with Albania out of the position of Islamic countries. Not only these Islamic countries, but even some extremist groups have put Albania and the Balkans into their own vision, believing that they are also important battlefields of jihad.
The former founder of the Kosovo Liberation Army, Hasin Tuci, met with Al-Qaida's No. 3 man, Zakawi, in Tirana, the Albanian capital, and all of Tachi's previous efforts were now in vain, and the Yugoslav People's Army crossed the border to attack the Albanian armed forces, which was already very weak, facing a devastating blow to the already weak Albanian armed forces. With his hair almost gray, there was no better way for him to do it, and when al-Qaeda personnel approached him and told him that there was a possibility of cooperation, he was reluctant to give up, even though he knew from the beginning that they were a group of terrorists.
In terms of physiognomy, Zarqawi and Tache are very different, Albanians are Muslimized Europeans, while Jordanian-born Zarqawi is a standard Arab, but they share a common theme of punishing Muslim enemies.
"Mr. Tucky, know that security and victory cannot be achieved at the same time, and for the sake of the light of Allah and the well-being of fellow Muslims, we, the martyrs, must come forward and let the infidels know that after humiliating Muslims and blaspheming the glory of Allah, they will never live in peace, and that victory will finally come under our call!" Zarqawi waved his arm at Tuci and spoke without hindrance.
It's just that Tucky is a highly educated figure in Europe, and he is not interested in Zarqawi's fooling of ordinary Muslims, faith is not an irreplaceable thing in his eyes, what he cherishes is power, and now he is getting farther and farther away from power. So the nature of Tucky is not too high at the moment, and there has been a kind of self-abandonment since he approached Zarqawi.
"Thank you and your comrades for your support, Mr. Zarqawi, the Albanians in Kosovo now need the assistance of any friend who is willing to help us, and as Allah heroic fighters, we will never give up resistance, one ...... or another"
Zarqawi could also see that Tuci was not so enthusiastic, but he didn't care about that, all he needed was to shock the world and let the world know how powerful al-Qaeda was. But for that, Zarqawi and bin Laden need more jihadists, and the apparently near-finished Kosovo Albanian forces are a good addition.
Zaqawi said, "Mr. Tuqi, please rest assured, as long as you lend us the warriors in your hands, in a short time, we will be able to provide you with a group of the most capable holy warriors, who are not afraid of any enemy, who have the courage to sacrifice themselves to accomplish the great cause of Allah, and those inferior infidels will pay for what they have done." ”
Tucci also understood that Zarqawi was looking for him to dig into the wall, but the Albanian government was obviously no longer willing to support his Albanian armed forces, and the focus of the Americans had become Albanian official, and even many Albanians resented the fact that they had brought the war to their own land from Kosovo and rejected them. In Albania, there is no way out for them.
"Maybe you can only be a terrorist?" Tuchi was helpless, but thinking about it, the things he had done before were not much better than the terrorists, so he nodded and agreed to Zarqawi's request.
As a result, the Albanian armed forces slowly transformed from a rebel army to terrorists, and a group of ethnic Albanian armed forces began to receive training from al-Qaeda and became terrorists after receiving training from the Americans and becoming guerrillas. They secretly left Albania and entered the Middle East, where they were trained in the form of human bombers, and finally entered Yugoslavia by different routes, with the clear goal of causing terrorist attacks in Yugoslavia.
As a sign of sincerity, Zarqawi first used al-Qaeda's own men to enter Yugoslavia and carry out terrorist attacks. In a square in Sarajevo, two terrorists detonated a car bomb due to a security lapse, injuring hundreds of people and killing 11 others.
Prime Minister Novakovic immediately declared martial law across the country, and security forces and intelligence agencies were dispatched to investigate, and in the end, al-Qaeda's tail was caught. For the first time, a terrorist organization that has shocked the world has shown its horror face, and the world does not yet know that this terrorist organization will carry out an even more horrific attack.
