Rebirth of England.

At this time in Mali, Operation Serval, with the French army as the main attacking force and the Malian government forces and the African Union peacekeeping mission as auxiliary, is still continuing.

With the help of transport planes sent by European countries such as Britain and Germany, France has transported a total of about 4000 troops to Mali.

First, the French army dispatched Gazelle attack helicopters to attack the anti-government forces heading towards Kona.

Afterwards, the French army launched air strikes on several targets of the rebel ground forces, cutting off their reinforcements to the city of Kona and inflicting heavy damage on the enemy.

Within a week of the French joining, after four French Rafale fighter jets launched an airstrike on the rebel headquarters of Gao, French ground forces helped the Malian government forces retake the city of Kona in the counterattack.

The AU peacekeeping mission, including the Kolo Corps peacekeeping force, helped the government forces retake Jabali from another direction. Eventually, the government forces and their allies achieved complete recovery of the lost territory from Kona to Jabali.

During the counterattack against Jabali, the Jungle Wolf II drones used by the Kolo Legion played a huge role, providing their allies with detailed real-time battlefield intelligence.

After a short rest, the French army, the AU peacekeeping mission and the Malian government forces continued their counterattack. They pushed the front line to 100 kilometers away from Gao. The French army dispatched aircraft to bomb the grain depots and weapons depots of the anti-government forces in Gao and its surrounding areas.

Gao was successfully recaptured after a week of sustained bombing raids.

Just like that, within half a month, under the counterattack of the Malian government forces and their allies, the anti-government forces could only retreat to the Kidal region on the border between Mali and Algeria.

On November 11, the French army, with the support of helicopters, deployed special forces to launch a vertical assault and seized Kidal Airport.

From December 12 to 7, the French army launched a new round of air-to-ground operations aimed at capturing Tessalit, the last city held by anti-government forces in Mali.

The French army first airdropped special forces at Tessalit Airport to control the airport runway, and then transport planes launched a vertical assault by the French army to seize control of the entire airport.

With the support and cover of the French Army and Air Force, in less than a month, the AU peacekeeping mission and the Malian government forces recovered all lost territory and restored national integrity.

After this, the French army continued to eliminate extremist forces and maintain order in the area, while the AU peacekeeping mission successfully completed this mission. The peacekeeping forces of the Collo Corps received orders from the Malian government forces because of their outstanding performance in this battle, and will help Mali train their government forces.

Of course, it was not just Mali that extended an olive branch to the Kolo Corps. Because their bases were very close to the Kolo Corps peacekeeping force, the officers of the peacekeeping forces from Burkina Faso and Niger could not hold back and tried out many of the weapons of the Kolo Corps peacekeeping force. They were also very envious of these equipment.

After the peacekeeping mission to Mali ended, Burkina Faso and Niger both sent military delegations to Kolo, after which they submitted purchase orders to Kolo to purchase some guns and individual equipment produced locally in Kolo.

It is worth mentioning that the standard rifles equipped by the Kolo Corps at this time were the same as those of the British Army, which were L85A1 5.56mm assault rifles.

This rifle has the characteristics of precise aiming and shooting of old-fashioned rifles, as well as the advantages of submachine guns, such as fierce firepower, high accuracy, good controllability of continuous fire, and flexibility and maneuverability. It is a single-soldier weapon with good performance and won the championship in the practical rifle competition held in 1985.

The gun is 785 mm in length, with a barrel length of 518 mm. It weighs 4.98 kg when fully loaded with bullets. It can fire both single shots and continuous shots, with an effective range of 500 meters.

It fires the NATO standard 5.56mm bullet, namely the SS109 bullet, and can fire 610 to 770 rounds per minute.

The magazine holds 30 rounds, and each soldier usually carries 8 magazines, which are interchangeable with the American M16A2 rifle magazines.

The scale of this part of the purchase order is relatively small, mainly to equip the elite troops of Burkina Faso and Niger. However, these two countries have also received some military assistance from France before. France's standard rifles also use NATO's 5.56mm ammunition, so in general, there is no problem.

During the peacekeeping operation in Mali, the Jungle Wolf II drone developed by Sentinel provided convenience for the peacekeeping forces of the Kolo Corps in obtaining battlefield intelligence.

Based on the verification of this operation, Sentinel will continue to improve the Coyote II UAV to prepare for their future competition for military orders from the United States and Britain.

Afterwards, the Kolo Corps got a new "toy", which is the Griffin-1 drone that Seiko will officially release before Christmas. This is the first product in Seiko's Griffin series of drones.

Compared to the previously launched Hummingbird HUM-1 drone, the Griffin-1 drone is larger, which allows it to carry more sophisticated camera equipment and provide longer hovering time, making it suitable for reconnaissance purposes by the Kolo Corps.

After all, compared to the Jungle Wolf II drone, the Griffin-1 is a rotary-wing drone that can take off and land vertically. It is also more convenient to carry and can even be carried by a small team.

……

At 12 p.m. on December 15, Princess Cather gave birth to a baby boy, whom Prince William and Cather named George Alexander Louis.

At the same time, the newly born "fourth generation" of the royal family was named "Prince of Cambridge", becoming the third in line to the British royal family, after the Prince of Wales and William, Duke of Cambridge.

With the Queen's approval, the birth certificate of the little prince given birth to by Princess Cather has been posted at Buckingham Palace to announce it to the world...

The content is: The Duchess of Cambridge, Princess Catherine, gave birth to a baby boy at 4:24 this afternoon. Kate and the child are in good health. Four doctors have signed the certificate. Buckingham Palace was crowded with people taking pictures of the birth certificate.

"Congratulations, William, today is an important moment for Britain..."

Barron, who had already returned to London, was standing next to William. He looked at the other's happy and excited expression and said so.

At Prince William's request, Barron will serve as godfather to the children of the "Prince of Cambridge," that is, William and Catherine.

This is also the reason why he came here today.

If Barron remembered correctly, in his previous life, Cather gave birth to the "Prince of Cambridge" in July of the next year, so the birth of the "Prince of Cambridge" this time was 7 months earlier than the original time and space.

But this is not important. After all, enough things have changed by now, and this one more thing doesn't matter.
