    ps: The results of the new book are very unsatisfactory. Huali asks everyone to help collect it and give all the recommendation votes to the new book.  ¡ó¡ý I can¡¯t thank you enough for gorgeous!  ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªThe following text¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Within the Supreme Command of Bagua City, Li Lan was sitting on the throne of the supreme commander. Ling Liang stood quietly beside him, surrounded by more than a dozen senior staff officers.  "NATO failed to attack our weather control device. What do you think they will do next?" Li Lan asked after browsing the real-time battle situation information.  Ling Liang immediately took a step forward and analyzed: "The NATO coalition wants to destroy our weather control device. It has only one core purpose, and that is to prepare for the next all-out attack." Having said this, Ling Liang opened the projection map.  Pointing to the two hotspots where war has broken out above - Syria and Egypt, he continued: "The current offensive is not even a warm-up for both of us, and the war has already started for nearly twenty hours.  , except for the limited air force investment, there is not much action. This has a lot to do with the lack of time for war preparations on both sides. Each corps is not in place. Once a large-scale campaign is launched blindly, there is a lack of follow-up sustainability.  Supply will also become very difficult, so we will maintain the current small-scale battles on only two battlefields. This is not only to test the opponent's strength for the subsequent all-out battle, but also as a basic assessment for the all-out war, and also for the subsequent all-out battle.  It's time. Especially the air force. If NATO wants to take the initiative in the war, it needs to gain air superiority. At present, NATO's air force has only made a small movement. Once it is finally launched, NATO will launch a large number of them.  The air force is on the front line. According to existing intelligence, a large number of temporary airports are being built in Italy, which are expected to be used by more than a thousand fighter planes. Once these airports are completed, a large-scale attack will not be far away.  According to other information, two arsenal ships of the U.S. Navy have arrived in the Mediterranean. These two arsenal ships are warships that the U.S. Navy secretly built after reviving the original arsenal ship construction plan. They have only one purpose, which is to have the ability to instantly destroy our defenses.  The system's super-saturated attack firepower. According to intelligence analysis, the displacement of the two arsenal ships is about 40,000 tons. Each arsenal ship can carry 700 vertically launched Tomahawk-2 supersonic cruise missiles and has advanced  The fire control system and fire coordination mechanism can launch all the missiles in just fifteen minutes, and coordinate in the air, while flying to the target at ultra-low altitude, the instant firepower of the two arsenal ships bursts out.  The firepower and saturation strike level have exceeded that of two aircraft carrier battle groups, and are enough to destroy any city in the blink of an eye. And the two arsenal ships are about to arrive in the Mediterranean, and their goal is just for the follow-up general attack plan.  Because of these two arsenal ships, the NATO coalition has not deployed an aircraft carrier battle group in the Mediterranean. However, Europe's land-based fighters are enough to completely control the Mediterranean. Together with the huge amphibious combat group of the Mediterranean Fleet, NATO's accumulated strength has rapidly expanded.  Get up. It is expected that the launch of the general offensive will not be too far away." Ling Liang used the word "expansion" to fully illustrate the efficiency of NATO's gathering of forces.  Currently, nearly half of NATO's amphibious combat forces are concentrated in the Mediterranean.  Among them, the number of amphibious assault ships alone exceeds fifteen. In addition to French amphibious assault ships and American amphibious assault ships, a large number of amphibious dock landing ships and tank armored landing ships from European countries are also gathered one after another. Amphibious operations alone  The main force has exceeded 200,000.  A large number of Marine Corps and Army armored forces are also leaving the port in a steady stream on ships. NATO's accumulated first wave of attack forces is quickly becoming saturated.  As for why we chose the small sea area of ????the Mediterranean, it is only because of the unique geographical advantages of this area.  This advantage is currently almost all on the side of NATO. Somalia is close to the Indian Ocean and has no exports in the Mediterranean. The Mediterranean is not an area where Somali warships are mainly active.  ¡°The Mediterranean side is all European territory, with many ports, which can allow NATO soldiers to quickly board ships and set off. Whether they are going to Africa or the Middle East, the distance is not far.  It can achieve rapid troop support and material supply. The importance of the Mediterranean to NATO is naturally irreplaceable.  It is a definite fact that NATO will use the Mediterranean as a springboard for attack, and the Mediterranean is also the most important line of defense. The closest place between Africa and Europe is only the Strait of Gibraltar.  The NATO coalition forces, which have taken an active offensive stance, are also well prepared for defense.  Li Lan has only two routes if he wants to attack Europe, one is T¨¹rkiye and the other is to control??China Sea, and then land on the European continent.  The geographical location of the Mediterranean is much more important than that of Turkey, and the north is also very aware of this. Once the Mediterranean is controlled by Somalia, the war will almost be declared over.  Because Europe will face the risk of being directly invaded, and conversely, the same is true for T¨¹rkiye.  Before the war, NATO tightly strengthened its relationship with Turkey in order to be able to maintain this gateway to Europe as if it were iron-clad.  NATO has done it. The main ground forces of NATO countries are constantly gathering towards Turkey. Many temporary airports and defensive weapons have also settled in Turkey, as if Turkey has been regarded as the bridgehead of the war.  As for the current posture, the NATO coalition with strong military strength has taken the initiative and has the best offensive advantage due to its geographical advantage.  ¡°Looking at Somalia, if you want to take the initiative to attack, you must first break NATO¡¯s full control of the Mediterranean. This is extremely difficult.  The number of NATO coalition fighters in Europe has exceeded 5,000, and nearly half of them are third-generation fighters. Even if Li Lan sends the main force of the air force and naval aviation there, it will not be effective.  Unless he can firmly control northern Africa, this will take time, and after taking control, he can build a large amount of shore-based air defense and anti-ship firepower.  Only in this way can we have the capital to compete with NATO for control of the Mediterranean.  Thinking of achieving this condition.  The Red Police Corps can only proceed step by step, and there is no point in rushing.  "Then do you think it is possible for the NATO coalition to launch an attack from the Pacific?" Li Lan asked again.  The environment of the first major battlefield has been determined. It is the first battlefield from the Middle East to northern Africa, spanning tens of thousands of kilometers.  As the world¡¯s largest military group, although NATO is concentrated in Europe, many other military countries are also on the Pacific coast, and many of the US military¡¯s military forces are still in the Pacific direction.  Australia, separated from Somalia by the Indian Ocean, has become the second important military bridgehead country of the NATO military group.  ?Originally, this country should be India.  But India has been defeated by Somalia and can no longer become NATO's war front line. This is the biggest loss for the NATO coalition forces.  Otherwise, with Turkey to the west, India to the east, and Australia to the south, the Somali Federation will fall into a passive position.  However, as far as the current military situation is concerned, NATO still has a great advantage. NATO has the value of developing the Indian Ocean as a second battlefield.  And the value is still extremely high.  As a dependent country of the United Kingdom, Australia has always been an ally of the United States. During the preparations for the war, Australia became a military bridgehead built by the NATO military group.  Australia will serve as the second line of NATO joint forces to attack Somalia.  However, this route has a very important condition, that is, it must be seized by sea control in the Indian Ocean.  Only by controlling the sea can NATO reach the Indian Ocean.  Throw troops from the east to the African battlefield.  Although the Indian Ocean is now controlled by the Somali Navy, NATO is not without any strength.  In the Indian Ocean.  Nearly half of the many islands in the branch are overseas territories of Britain and France.  As long as the airport and maintenance facilities are built, it will be an unsinkable aircraft carrier.  Since the rise of Somalia, NATO has consciously begun to build these islands in the Indian Ocean. On almost every island, there are military bases and airports and other facilities.  Even many islands have been built with heavy investment and have become important forward observation or supply bases for the NATO Navy.  That¡¯s why Li Lan asked this question, because NATO¡¯s military strength is fully capable of realizing a two-front combat strategy.  Although Somalia¡¯s current military strength is not bad and it has strong combat effectiveness, it is naturally at a disadvantage due to geographical advantages. This requires further efforts to level the gap during the war.  "Not for the time being. Unless the NATO navy forms a huge combined fleet to force our fleet to engage in a decisive battle at sea and ensure that half of our main maritime combat forces can be destroyed, NATO will not risk crossing the Indian Ocean and coming to Africa from the distant Pacific.  Combat, this is not in line with the basic principles of war. With the current level of science and technology, this kind of war routine has not been broken." Ling Liang shook his head and continued: "If I were the commander of NATO, I would.  I will choose to open a second battlefield in half a year. At that time, I will gather more than 80% of the navy, and then use all the main naval forces to press towards us across the board, forcing our fleet to engage in a decisive battle, and strive to destroy it in one fell swoop.Our fleet then launched its final rally.  " "Then you think NATO will do us next?  "Li Lan nodded and continued to ask. "If I think about it from my perspective, I will immediately occupy Egypt and Saudi Arabia, and attack the national power of the countries in the Middle East as quickly as possible.  If the persimmons are weak, I will remove all the wings, and then only one of us will be left, and finally end this war completely with an absolute superiority in strength.  "Ling Liang replied very decisively. Li Lan asked again: "Then what should we do?  " "There is no second plan. The entire northern Africa and the Middle East are our battlefields. Our current job is to counterattack.  No matter where NATO chooses to fight, we must be prepared to counterattack and disrupt NATO's strategic deployment.  "Ling Liang said. "Ling Liang's idea coincides with that of Li Lan. The war has broken out and the flames of war are burning everywhere. Blind defense is not his style, and with the enemy's advantage, the more defensive he is, the more passive he will be.  So the issue he is considering is how to counterattack. The so-called counterattack is not about sending mobile forces to the enemy's rear to carry out parachute strikes, because NATO's forces can quickly destroy any airborne forces. It is like sending paratroopers to parachute into Paris now.  It can cause damage to Paris, but no one of the parachuted troops can come back. The airborne troops must fight within the range that the ground or the air force can support at any time. Without any logistical supplies and follow-up troops, airborne troops are seeking death.  Of course, special operations are not included in this list. The so-called counterattack is to look for counter-offensive operations during a reasonable defense. Currently, the two battles are mainly focused on the Middle East and Egypt.  The counterattack that can be achieved is to drive the NATO coalition forces in Egypt down the Mediterranean, or to drive the NATO forces that have entered Syria back to Turkey, and thus gain the right to take the initiative to attack. ¡°Tell me about your thoughts on counterattack.  "Li Lan asked. "As for Egypt, I don't need to say more. Our main force is rapidly supporting Egypt.  Can handle most war changes.  But in the Middle East, we have less than 200,000 troops stationed in the Middle East, and the Red Police Corps only has one army group in the Middle East. In Turkey, the main force of the NATO coalition has exceeded 500,000. In the next month,  The number will increase to one million.  Therefore, we must speed up the mobilization of troops.  " Having said this, Ling Liang quickly opened the map of the Middle East. He said: "My suggestion is to mobilize an assault group army to go to the Middle East within the next month, and cooperate with the second assault group army already stationed in the Middle East to form the Middle East.  Theater Corps.  " Li Lan heard this. He asked doubtfully: "Is one group army enough?  " Ling Liang shook his head and continued: "The main red police forces of the two armies only have a strength of more than 200,000.  And within the next month, our troops in the Middle East cannot be less than half a million.  Therefore, I propose to mobilize three more armies of the garrison and head to the Middle East.  Thus.  We have two red alert armies and four garrison armies in the Middle East that we can call upon. Together with the more than one million troops of our Middle East allies, we have the strength to counterattack.  " At this point, Ling Liang's face was already very serious, and he continued: "I believe that troops must be dispatched to Saudi Arabia as soon as possible to prevent NATO from taking action in advance and making us passive.  " "I have ordered a mechanized infantry division and two armored brigades in Yemen to enter Saudi Arabia to cooperate with Saudi ground forces to carry out encirclement and suppression of NATO military forces in the territory.  "Li Lan said. "This amount of troops is not enough. Once NATO launches its second attack, Saudi Arabia's troops alone will not be able to resist.  " "Immediately let the prepared garrison set off and head to Saudi Arabia immediately. At the same time, order the Air Force to do a good job in air defense in various theaters. At present, the Air Force does not require them to seize air supremacy, but they must ensure that air supremacy cannot be seized by the enemy.  ¡± Although modern war is no longer a confrontation between large corps, it is an information-based war and a war under precision strikes. However, the confrontation between two super powerful military groups still relies on military strength when the information is symmetrical. Especially  In urban combat, it is impossible to seize control of a city with just a few people. A large number of troops are still needed to capture enemy cities. When the United States fought in Iraq, it mobilized more than 200,000 troops and directly used them.  There are hundreds of thousands of troops. This is still in an asymmetric war. But now, neither NATO nor Somalia has absolute military and technological advantages, because some equipment advantages are unable to deal with a conflict.?Total war helps decisively.  Unless this advantage can be escalated to an asymmetric war situation, it will be possible for one side to gain a comprehensive advantage.  The enemy has no counterattack, so although it is lagging behind in many equipment, NATO still has an advantage.  First of all, NATO's military technology level is not bad. The backwardness in certain equipment can be quickly made up by quantity, and it still has advantages.  Although the weapons and equipment of the Red Police Corps are advanced, they are not numerous enough to have a decisive advantage.  The disadvantage in military strength will also be reflected in actual war, so it cannot be called an advantage at all.  Of course, in a local war, the Somali side still had an advantage, but after it escalated to a full-scale war, this advantage was evened out.  NATO understands this precisely, so it did not rush to launch a large-scale attack, but instead accumulated offensive power to further tilt the balance of the war towards the dominant side.  After an hour-long exchange of opinions with Ling Liang and the staff of the Supreme Command, Li Lan returned to his office.  At this moment, Mohammadi and Farah are already here anxiously waiting for his arrival.  As the two elders of the Somali Federation, Mohammadi and Farah have always been representative figures in the Somali federal government.  I have followed Li Lan for almost twenty years. Apart from politics, I can be said to be a friend who talks about everything.  Although both of them are now almost sixty years old, they are still at the peak of their politics and careers.  It¡¯s just that their original thick black hair has turned into white snow.  After seeing Li Lan come in, the two people immediately stood up from the waiting sofa. Farah was the first to speak: "Your Excellency, why hasn't the Federation entered a state of all-out war? We must immediately gather all resources to win this war."  "A war." Mohammadi also continued: "At present, national resources have not entered the comprehensive integration stage, which will greatly waste our original war resources." Feeling the deep concern between the two people's words, Li Lan.  I was very pleased.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
