Chapter 546: The Butterfly Effect: A Different Somali Operat

ands.Looking at the apron in his hands, Xu Dabao gave Xu Huasheng a resentful look with his eyes, as if to say: It's all your fault.The atmosphere at home became lively with Xu Huasheng's return. In t...The PLA's 052 stealth launch was not only low-key, the entire ship even had a lot of camouflage.

For example, a unified integrated mast with active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar. 。On this side of Huaxia, in order to mislead the opponent, some camouflage was added on top. The outer surface of the active electronically scanned array radar was fitted with a camouflage shell, and some traditional radar decoys were also placed on it. From the outside, this ship is compared to previous ships from Huaxia, just a little bigger. The radar still has a large number of clotheslines, but the design looks awkward. 。As for how long this disguise can last, it's hard to say. 。Anyway, the Chinese navy is adopting a strategy of hiding for as long as possible, and if they can't hide in the end, so be it. 。The launch of the 052 ship immediately drew high attention from the United States and Japan. 。How could America's reconnaissance satellites not see such a large warship being launched 。And the displacement of this ship is a matter of great concern to the United States and Japan. 。Especially Japan, Japan's navy is now much stronger than China's. 。It is important to note that the first Kongo-class destroyer of Japan has now officially been commissioned, the second one has already been launched, and the third is already under construction. 。The Kongo-class destroyer is now Japan's most powerful warship. Its full load displacement is 9,485 tons, which is larger than the Arleigh Burke class and 200 tons more than the Type 052. 。At the same time, Kongo-class destroyers are also equipped with the Aegis system, and their radar is also an array radar. 。In this era, phased array radar and theegis system are veritable weapons of mass destruction. 。Compared to the Chinese navy, it's simply embarrassing. 。No ship can compare to Japan. 。In the original time and space, China's naval power during this period was truly no match for Japan's. 。In the original timeline, in order to give the Chinese navy a fighting chance, they could only purchase four modern-class destroyers at an exorbitant price from Russia. 。Even modern destroyers can't compare to Japan's Kongo-class destroyers. 。Modern-class destroyers are Russian-made warships, with a full load displacement of only 8,000 tons, which is over a thousand tons less than other comparable vessels. 。

And other radar systems, weapon systems, etc., are no match for the Kongo class.

But in the original space-time, that was already the most advanced guided-missile destroyer that Huaxia could buy. 。In this time and space, China is no longer needed. 。Modern China is simply not viewed as a serious player. 。With 052's combat capability, it can easily defeat the Kongo-class. 。Japan's most closely watched naval power is China, so when news came that a 9,000-ton destroyer had been launched in the Strait, Japan immediately heightened its vigilance. 。The United States also immediately mobilized its forces to investigate the relevant data of this ship, but China's secrecy level for this ship was extremely high. It was as difficult as reaching the sky for Japan and the United States to find out the data on the 052. 。The water system was put into operation. Subsequent work proceeded as planned. 。The primary mission of the first 052 was to verify all sorts of technologies mentioned above. 。Power system, radar system, weapon system, ship electrical system, etc. 。At the same time, it is also important to focus on cultivating talent for China. 。Once these things are verified, and the technology is confirmed feasible, then it's 052 time to start the dumpling mode. 。Don't say it will be two years later, even now, China has the capability to start building a dozen or so 052s at once. 。Just Hua Yun Shipyard alone can start construction on six ships at once. 。And the construction speed is very fast, the first one only needs to pass technical acceptance, proving the feasibility of the technology. 。The remaining ships, from construction to formal service, take a maximum of three years. 。But now 052 is officially launched. Now it's the end of 1993. According to the plan, this ship will be in service by the end of 1995 at the latest. 。Once this ship is put into service, Huaxia will begin mass-producing these vessels. At that time, they might launch ten or more ships at once. By the end of 1998, Huaxia could possibly have ten or more Type 052s. 。Not only are there over a dozen Type 052 destroyers, but by around 1998, the three amphibious assault ships Xia built with displacement approaching 50,000 tons are likely to have entered service as well. 。These battleships, coupled with vertical takeoff and landing fighter jets, by the end of this century, each of the Xia's three fleets will have one medium-sized aircraft carrier. 。By then, if Japan dared to act up again, any random fleet we sent could wipe them out. 。Time passed quietly, and New Year's Day in 1994 arrived. Many countries were also celebrating the coming of the new year. 。But in Somalia, during New Year's Day, a special operation quietly began. 。"My brave warriors, according to reliable information we have received, Eddie will be hosting a dinner for his high-ranking officials at this very hotel today…" in a US military base in the Middle East. >>>。A group of elite warriors are holding a meeting. This time, their mission is to capture the leader of the Somali National Assembly, Addeed. 。As for Eddie's capture, the US had already begun planning it long ago. 。But Eddie was too cunning, America lost opportunity after opportunity. 。Now, they finally got the most reliable information. 。This New Year's Day is the best opportunity to capture. 。For this capture, the United States brought in its most elite special forces unit, the Delta Force. 。It's not just the Delta Force, SEALs and Rangers who are involved. 。This time, their mission was to capture all members of the Somali Union Assembly and showcase American might. 。

After the meeting, the action officially began.

There were 326 U.S. special forces soldiers involved in the operation, and 26 aircraft were deployed. Because the number of targets was large, the U.S. mobilized twelve Black Hawk helicopters alone, in addition to other types of aircraft.

Just in case, they also deployed troops on the ground for support. 。If there is an unexpected incident during air assault, ground troops will respond as quickly as possible. 。On January 1, 1994, at 2:15 PM, the operation officially commenced. 。Meanwhile, at a hotel in Mogadishu, Somalia, Aidiid brought a group of high-ranking officials into the hotel. 。This hotel is a square-shaped building, and it's quite new because it was built just within the last two years. 。The entire hotel is square-shaped and looks very impressive. 。However, when everyone entered the hotel, the doors to the hotel rooms were locked. 。When the door closed, Eddy's face immediately took on a cruel expression. 。"Everyone, now we're conducting a search…"Eddie said immediately to everyone, then proceeded to search them all. 。After the search was complete, Eddie led everyone directly to the hotel's basement. 。In the underground chamber, Eddy directly opened a secret passage. Seeing this passage, the American intelligence personnel hidden among the group's faces changed drastically. At this moment, an unimaginable fact emerged in his mind, could this be a huge trapmy life. I'll plant a mushroom in your house later!" 。"Xu Difei's eyes were filled with ruthlessness.Just now he really wanted to contact his resources and buy a few mushroom eggs. 。But I held back i...
