Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

As night fell, in the meeting room of the US Central Command, Joseph, the commander of the US Central Command, had a solemn expression.

Since the Somalia incident, Joseph has been busy every day. You know, the Somalia incident was ordered by Joseph.

Now that this matter has evolved into this, Joseph is responsible.

Now, the United States is ready to take action, and Joseph has been appointed as the commander-in-chief of this battle. And this operation is now named "Hammer of Hope" by the United States.

On the big screen of the headquarters, many target points have already been marked. These targets are the intelligence that the United States has tried its best to collect during this period.

These places include Aidid's training ground, Aidid's military camp, including Mogadishu's power station, water plant, gas station, airport, port, and buildings that may hide militants.

There are also some places marked as possible underground bases. There are many of these targets, large and small, hundreds of them.

This time, the United States is angry.

Just now in the Gulf War, the United States showed its muscles and quickly defeated the arrogant Saddam, and then the Soviet Union was disintegrated by the United States.

I didn't expect that a small country like Somalia would pull out teeth from a tiger's mouth.

So, the United States is ready to leave. During this period, the United States has also sent representatives to negotiate with Aidid's people. But Aidid's side is stubborn and refuses to let go. He must let the United States meet his conditions first, compensate first and then release people.

So, the United States is not ready to wait. As for the more than 1,000 American soldiers, just treat them as sacrifices. There are always casualties in war. When the time comes, let the domestic media report some other reasons. Anyway, the United States will not consider other things when launching a war. When the Vietnam War was going on, the country wanted to hold anti-war marches every day, but it was not able to stop the war.

As long as the United States wants to start a war, public opinion is useless. If public opinion is useful, the United States will not start so many wars.

"Now calibrate the time, 1 a.m., launch the attack on time..."

Joseph looked at the time, 1 a.m. on January 28, 1994, this is the set time point.

At 1 a.m., the attack was officially launched. The first round was a variety of long-range attacks. This time, it was not only the United States that launched the attack, but also many NATO countries participated.

However, the most important thing was the US military, especially the Air Force and Navy. For Somalia, three aircraft carrier battle groups were enough.

The battle plan was also very simple. First, bombing, high-intensity bombing, like the Gulf War, various air strikes to blow up the targets that might threaten them, and then send ground troops in.

Mogadishu was the focus of this bombing. As for whether civilians would die, this was not their concern.

Somalia, night fell.

Shamedi suddenly received an early warning message. After seeing the early warning message, Shamedi's face was happy, and then he returned to gloomy.

"General Aidid, it's not good. Notify everyone immediately and let everyone enter the tunnel. The Americans are going to attack..."

Shamedi immediately notified Aidid.

"What? Do the Americans not care about the lives of the hostages?"

Aidid was also dumbfounded. He had more than a thousand American hostages in his hands. Now the United States actually launched an air strike. Doesn't it want the hostages?

"I didn't expect the Americans to be so cruel that they didn't even care about the hostages. General Aidid, now is not the time to care about this matter. Since the war is coming, we will fight them here. Only when the Western countries are hurt will they sit at the negotiation table..."

Shamedi said directly.

Aidid looked at Shamedi and nodded at last.

There is no other way, now we can only fight first. Surrender is impossible. There is no other way out except fighting. Even if I surrender, I will be killed by the Americans.

Under the cover of night, the news was quickly transmitted in the area controlled by Aidid.

After receiving the news, many people hurried into the tunnel.

The tunnel had been dug long ago, and there were several layers in it. But ordinary people didn't know it before. Now that the war is about to happen, the militia captains led them directly into the tunnel.

Entering the tunnel, these ordinary people were all shocked.

They didn't expect that there was a huge underground city under their city. It was fully equipped and stored a large amount of food and medicine.

Not only that, their gathering place even has a TV, and they can even watch TV here.

Under the cover of night, a large number of people entered the basement, but some people were stubborn and unwilling to enter the underground base.

Among them were some intelligence personnel from Europe and the United States. They knew that once they entered the tunnel, it would be difficult for them to get out. Once they entered, they basically lost their freedom in order to keep it secret.You can't come out casually. Unless the war outside is over.

In the tunnels of the civilian army, all the armed personnel began to get busy. Whether it was the Somali People's Army, the armed police force, or the trained militia, everyone picked up guns at this moment, everyone received live ammunition, and everyone was led by the captain to disperse to various hiding places, waiting patiently.

Time passed little by little, and at one o'clock in the morning, the US aircraft carrier battle group at sea officially launched an attack.

The first wave of attacks was launched by the missile destroyers in the aircraft carrier battle group. One Tomahawk missile was launched directly, and this wave of launches fired hundreds of Tomahawk cruise missiles.

The first wave of missiles attacked directly at the most important target. At the same time, the fighters on the three aircraft carriers began to take off quickly, formed a formation after takeoff, and began to fly towards Mogadishu.

Under the night sky, missiles streaked across the sky like meteors.

Then these missiles dived quickly from the air towards the target and smashed towards the target.

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

Missiles hit the target one by one, and huge explosions resounded throughout Mogadishu. Then the sound of air defense alarms sounded in Mogadishu.

Missiles fell one by one, and many places turned into a sea of ​​fire. The US offensive officially began. Not long after the first wave of missiles exploded, fighters had already arrived. After all, the three aircraft carrier battle groups are now very close to Mogadishu, and fighters can fly over in a few minutes.

Only a very small number of these fighters are equipped with air-to-air combat bombs, and the other fighters are equipped with precision-guided bombs.

These fighters flew over the target and began to continue to carry out precise strikes on key targets according to the previous coordinates.

For a time, the whole Mogadishu was full of explosions, and bombs were constantly hitting targets as if they were free. '

Airports, ports, power stations, water plants, power facilities, gas stations, warehouses and other targets were constantly being bombed.

The Somali people hiding underground listened to the huge explosions, their eyes full of hatred. Outside was their home, and the Americans were bombing their home indiscriminately.
