    ps: The results of the new book "The Legend of the End of the World" are very unsatisfactory. Huali asks everyone to help collect it and give all the recommendation votes to the new book.  ¡Ý Huali can¡¯t thank you enough!  ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªThe above is free, the following text¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Located in the Indian Ocean in eastern Africa, the Republic of Seychelles is known as a paradise for tourists. At this moment, it is supposed to be the peak tourist season in Seychelles, but it is almost difficult for tourists to see a single  .  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 in the surrounding waters will approach it.  As a British Commonwealth country, Seychelles is only more than a thousand kilometers away from the Indian Ocean coast of Somalia, and less than two thousand kilometers away from the British Indian Ocean Territory.  In times of peace, Seychelles is a very beautiful country, but in times of war, this is the center of the spiral.  The United Nations Tourism Administration has announced places that are not suitable for tourism. In addition to various battlefields and participating countries, many island countries in the Indian Ocean that rely on tourism to support their economies are also on the list. We hope tourists will not go to these countries.  It is recommended to travel to places far away from the war, such as the Far East, and both sides of the war also hope that travelers will not travel to places where war or war is likely to break out.  The Seychelles is on this list, but the Maldives, not far from the Seychelles, is not on the list.  It is not because the Maldives is far away from the war, but because the Maldives is not involved in this war, and the Seychelles has been involved in this war.  Although when the war broke out, Seychelles officials had already stated that Seychelles¡¯ ports would not provide any help to both sides of the war.  All airports will not allow any aircraft from either side to land.  But despite this, Seychelles is still unable to escape the impact of the war.  It is one of the countries of the British Commonwealth, and the United Kingdom is still the sovereign state of Seychelles.  The Queen of England is also nominally the supreme leader of the Seychelles.  Even if there is no governor, Seychelles cannot get rid of this title.  On the other hand, Seychelles and Somalia have a very close relationship. Somalia assists Seychelles with hundreds of millions of dollars in construction funds every year.  The two sides have very close economic exchanges and have in-depth cooperation in jointly combating maritime crimes.  The Seychelles Coast Guard also has two Sea Scorpions donated by Somalia, marking the close relationship between the two countries.  Therefore, Seychelles is sandwiched between two military groups, coupled with its advantageous geographical location.  Seychelles, which has no neutral strength at all, even if it insists on its neutrality, is just comforting itself.  Perhaps international law can protect Seychelles¡¯ neutrality rights, but whether it is Somalia or NATO, there is no need to worry about neutrality laws. Both military groups can already ignore the strength of United Nations laws.  As long as the war requires it, Seychelles will definitely succumb to tough measures no matter how unwilling it is, and there is no need for soldiers to suppress the situation.  It only takes some small means to bring a small country like Seychelles to its knees, which is not difficult at all.  As the fighting on the front lines of the Mediterranean becomes more and more intense, the smoke of war in the Indian Ocean has also become thicker.  Somalia¡¯s main maritime military forces are concentrated in the Seychelles and the central Indian Ocean.  There seems to be nothing going on, but the military competition in the Indian Ocean has already begun.  Outside the Seychelles Islands, a very ordinary civilian helicopter is flying towards the center of the island group.  On the helicopter.  Admiral Lin Qishan, commander of the Indian Ocean Combined Fleet of the Red Alert Navy, is currently admiring the natural island style of the archipelago below with clear sea, sky and clear water, which has remained unchanged forever.  Today, Lin Qishan is not wearing a military uniform, just a serious-looking suit.  Next to him is his own chief of staff, who is also the chief of staff of the fleet.  Vice Admiral of the Somali Federal Guard - Wang Fujun.  (Real-name guest appearance by book friends) The two of them stayed away from their own fleet and visited Seychelles in casual clothes. They had only one purpose, to secretly meet with Seychelles senior officials.  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 very beautiful." On the helicopter, Lin Qishan suddenly said.  "It turns out that I always thought that you, Old Lin, were a machine, a machine that kept running every day. Now it seems that you, Old Lin, are also a person, a person who knows that he should rest." Wang Fujun said with a slight smile.  Hearing this, Lin Qishan showed a wry smile, shook his head and said: "I haven't taken a good look at the world in these years. Suddenly seeing such beautiful scenery, I was a little emotional. However, after the war, I really need to relax.  "I'm afraid we don't need the war to end. We can just move the headquarters here."That¡¯s it.  "Wang Fujun said. "It doesn't work here. Such beautiful nature cannot be destroyed under the fire of war.  Lin Qishan shook his head and said. "Our purpose this time is to turn this place into a forward base for the naval aviation and missile forces?"  At that time, there will still be a risk of falling into war here, unless we can ensure that enemy fighter planes cannot get close to here.  "Wang Fujun said. "Having said that, we don't have such a good life. The command and coordination of the fleet is not a simple task. It is more convenient for us to be on the command ship, and we can also move with the fleet.  Moreover, the beautiful scenery here should be the kind to put down all the burdens in the heart and enjoy it. Once the battle breaks out, no matter how beautiful the surrounding scenery is, it will be no different from the barren mountains and rivers.  Lin Qishan said. The atmosphere immediately became heavy. Wang Fujun nodded and said: "Victory belongs to us in the end."  Hearing this, Lin Qishan smiled slightly and did not continue to say anything, but admired the island scenery under the helicopter. Ten minutes later, the helicopter parked at a private apron in Victoria, the capital of Seychelles. Ten people who were already waiting here  Several men in black had already prepared their cars, and Lynch and the two immediately got into a stretch car and drove towards the Presidential Palace in Victoria. Half an hour later, Seychelles President James Michel was seen in the Presidential Palace in Victoria.  The office door was pushed open from the outside, and Lin Qishan Wang Fujun walked in as if he were going home. President James Michel was not too surprised, as if he had expected the two to arrive and did not wait for two days.  When someone opened his mouth, he was the first to speak: ¡°Two generals.  Seychelles is just an island country that is too small to fight a war, and the country does not have the economy to fight a war.  Naturally, it is even less likely that he will be your enemy.  I can't afford to offend you, nor can I offend the United States, so please show your respect.  " "The president seems to be a sensible person. In this case, I won't beat around the bush. In addition to conveying our friendly greetings to you, Mr. President, I also hope that you can consider our proposal again.  "Lin Qishan found a chair to sit down by himself and said. "There is nothing to consider. Your fighter planes can completely destroy us, but the missiles of the NATO Navy and Air Force in the Indian Ocean Territory of India.  They will also destroy our small country immediately. No matter which side you choose, you will be destined to perish. I just ask you to let our small country go. We have no intention of fighting for hegemony and just want to live in peace.  "James Michel said with a pleading tone. "Sitting in his position, no one can afford to offend. He can only pray that he can remain neutral and not get involved in any war, otherwise the little Seychelles will  There was nothing left. Lin Qishan had already prepared for James Michel. This time he came here to completely change James Michel¡¯s attitude.  Possible, not only because of Seychelles' geographical location, but also because Seychelles has two airports of sufficient size that can take off and land large transport aircraft, which will have a great impact on the subsequent Indian Ocean operations.  The Navy can also rely on the Seychelles Islands for nearby supply. The supply ships in the fleet can directly replenish the fleet and then return to the fleet to replenish the fleet. This saves two or three days of travel. "  We fully understand the wishes of the people of Seychelles and will not affect your lives. Due to the war, the tourism industry here has suffered huge losses. In this regard, I also bring the practical friendship of our president and will not  Let the people of Seychelles suffer and make sure you don't get involved in a war.  " Lin Qishan said. Next to him, as soon as Lin Qishan finished speaking, 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 during the war, we  The cost of leasing your ports and airports is enough to satisfy the appetite of the people of Seychelles.  " James Michel shook his head and said: "To be honest, I am also very moved, but the economy is not the main reason. It is really that Seychelles cannot withstand the torment of war.  " Lin Qishan waved his hand, indicating to Wang Fujun to put away his mobile phone, and then continued: "The reason why I brought my chief of staff here today is to relieve the president of his worries.  Although I don¡¯t know what kind of price NATO will give the president, I believe that what we can give is what the people of Seychelles want.  " James Michelle asked: "I am all ears.  " Lin Qishan slowly stood up, walked to the country map next to the President's Office, and said: "The Seychelles is only more than a thousand kilometers away from our east coast. Whether it is our fighter planes or missiles, it can be destroyed quickly.  These islandsEverything does not require our fleet to take action at all.  So no matter what price NATO offers, I believe Mr. President will not be able to agree, because Seychellois will not be able to enjoy any price.  But we are different. The only place where NATO can threaten the Seychelles is the British Indian Ocean Territory.  For decades, under the management of the United Kingdom and the United States, the British Indian Ocean Territory has long become a very solid military base in the Indian Ocean. NATO strategic bombers can launch from here to bomb the entire Africa and the Middle East.  The Seychelles are naturally within the scope of a comprehensive attack. I think this is the reason why the president has been reluctant to make a decision.  But with all due respect, it is impossible for Seychelles to remain neutral. Whether we or NATO, sooner or later we will need this place as a transit point for supplies.  ¡°For so many years, NATO has never given up on wooing you, and we have not given up either. Seychelles has had both sides for more than ten years, and now it is time to make a final decision.  "However, I am not here to have a final showdown with you, and we have no intention of destroying everything beautiful here. We just want to show Mr. President a movie, a real movie. I believe that after the movie is over.  Mr. President will make the wisest decision.  " After Lin Qishan finished speaking, he clapped his hands. Then four men in black opened the door and walked in, each holding a large box in their hands. The four people who came in were busy as if there was no one else around. Soon they were there  In the open space in the office, the projection device had been installed. The four people walked out with the empty box. Then Lin Qishan continued: "Now, please enjoy it, Mr. President."  " "What do you want me to see?  "James Michel, who had been watching all this calmly, finally couldn't help but ask. "I think you will understand in a long time.  Lin Qishan replied, then winked at Wang Fujun, who nodded and turned on the projector. Immediately, a clear picture appeared in front of them, on the sea with clear sky. An oval ring island was focused.  Appeared on the projection. James Michel recognized it immediately. The picture was the British Indian Ocean Territory, which is also the closest NATO maritime military base to Somalia. The island group is located in the center of the Indian Ocean and can completely guard the entire island.  The central region of the Indian Ocean can control the transportation lines from the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean to the west, and can control all routes to the North Pacific. The British Indian Ocean Territory has always been an important military base for the United Kingdom and the United States, but it has always been an American.  In operation. When the United States launched the war against Israel and Afghanistan, it was the strategic bombers that took off from here to carry out strategic bombing on the main island of Diego Garcia.  The complete military base is fully capable of taking off any type of aircraft of the US military. At the same time, the island group also has a very complete naval relay supply base, which can dock two aircraft carrier battle groups at the same time for supply. It is the best choice for the US Navy's long-sea operations.  Important supply extension. There are no residents on the island. The former indigenous people have also been expelled from the island. Now, except for the US military, only a few contractor construction teams continue to develop and utilize the island. The war broke out.  Lan's eyes immediately focused on this place. As the only NATO military base in the Indian Ocean that can limit its own naval power, Lin Qishan has naturally become a target that must be eliminated from the beginning of the war.  The order points to the British Indian Ocean Territory, not only to destroy this island, but also to take it as its own, so that the Red Alert Fleet will have a wider extended combat space. However, this island group is not that easy.  Occupied, in the past ten years, the US military has been increasing the pace of military construction on this island. Tens of thousands of Marines have been stationed, and there are a large number of solid bunkers and fortifications. The material reserves on the island are not only sufficient, but also very advanced.  The island also has a certain size of combat aircraft fleet and air defense force, and there are also US submarines and surface ships cruising around. It is a quite solid military fortress. Even with the absolute strength advantage of the Red Police Navy,  We need to face certain difficulties and when attacking here, we have to consider Australia not far away, where a large number of NATO member navies are gathering. If they cannot quickly capture the British Indian Ocean Territory, there will be a war.  The small battle for the island has turned into a tug-of-war. It is not a wise move to waste unnecessary naval strength in this place. Furthermore, it is impossible to quickly attack the British Indian Ocean if it is attacked by force.? land.  On the contrary, it is very likely to evolve into the battle between Japan and the United States for islands in the Pacific during World War II, because soldiers of the U.S. Marine Corps are ready to defend the islands and wait for rescue.  With conventional combat methods, no matter how well-prepared the firepower is, it will be difficult to eliminate the defense forces above. Once the landing battle begins, it will be a hard battle.  Such a battle must be avoided by any commander. Modern warfare involves fast-paced battles. No one likes such a combat mode that is very likely to lead to a hard fight.  Furthermore, if we were to fight such a war, it would be better to surround the British Indian Ocean Territory and then directly skip this place to ensure that the U.S. troops above could not threaten the safety of the rear of the fleet, and then march directly to the Eastern Indian Ocean.  However, in order to better supply the fleet to fight in the East Indian Ocean, the importance of the British Indian Ocean Territory is still critical.  The Seychelles serves as the first relay supply point, but it cannot quickly supply the main naval ships in the East Indian Ocean.  But if it cooperates with the British Indian Ocean Territory, the situation will be very different.  Everyone knows very well that if a naval battle breaks out in the Indian Ocean, the scale will be absolutely unprecedented, because both sides have accumulated too strong naval power.  It¡¯s impossible to just show off a little bit, you can only go all out.  The size of the Somali Navy's fleet in the Indian Ocean has reached the size of thirteen aircraft carrier battle groups, plus amphibious warfare groups, submarines and other various fleets, and its total number of operational ships is no less than 300.  Such a large fleet group can no longer be satisfied by supply ships. It can only be quickly supplied through the nearest fixed port.  Although Seychelles is convenient, it is still far away from the East Indian Ocean and beyond reach.  But the British Indian Ocean Territory is different. It is not very far from the East Indian Ocean and has a sound port and air force base on it. It is definitely a key link in the ocean supply line.  If the Red Police Navy wants to go to the ocean to fight, this place must be captured, otherwise it is very likely that the fleet operating on the front line will suffer a crisis of reduced combat effectiveness due to untimely supplies.  After all, Somalia is not like NATO. In the eastern part of the Indian Ocean, there are places where supplies can be supplied, from north to south, from Indonesia to Australia.  Therefore, for the Somali Navy, the British Indian Ocean Territory has become even more important.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
