————The above is free, the following text————

Located in the Indian Ocean in East Africa, the Republic of Seychelles enjoys a reputation as a paradise for tourists. At this moment, Seychelles, which is supposed to be the peak tourist season, is hardly seen by tourists.

There is only one reason. All the airspace in the northern part of the Indian Ocean has become a no-fly zone, and there are almost no cruise ships approaching the surrounding sea.

As a British Commonwealth country, Seychelles is only more than one thousand kilometers away from the Indian Ocean coast of Somalia and less than two thousand kilometers from the British Indian Ocean Territory.

In peacetime, Seychelles is a very beautiful country, but in times of war, this is the center of the spiral nest.

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 economy are also on the list. We hope that tourists will not go to these countries.

It is recommended to go to the Far East and other places far away from the war, and both sides of the war also hope that tourists will not travel to wars or places where wars are likely to break out.

Seychelles is on this list, and the Maldives, not far from Seychelles, is not on the list.

Not because the Maldives is far from the war, but because the Maldives is not involved in this war, and Seychelles has been involved in this war.

Although when the war broke out, Seychelles officials had stated that Seychelles ports would not provide any help to both sides of the war.None of the airports will allow any aircraft from both sides to land.

But despite this, it is still difficult for Seychelles to escape the effects of war.This 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 nominally the supreme leader of Seychelles.

Even if there is no governorship, Seychelles cannot get rid of this title.On the other hand, Seychelles and Somalia have very close relations. Somalia assists Seychelles with hundreds of millions of dollars in construction funds every year.

The two sides have very close economic exchanges and in-depth cooperation in the joint fight against maritime crimes.

The Seychelles Maritime Guard also has two sea scorpions presented by Somalia, marking the close relationship between the two countries.

Therefore, Seychelles is also sandwiched between the two military groups, plus its advantageous geographical location.Seychelles, which has no neutral strength at all, even if it is determined to be neutral, it is only self-comforting.

Perhaps international law can safeguard Seychelles’ neutral rights, but whether it’s Somalia or NATO, legislation on China can be completely ignored. Both military groups can already ignore the strength of the UN law.

As long as the war requires, even if Seychelles is reluctant, it will inevitably succumb to tough measures, without the need for soldiers to suppress the border.It only requires some small means, enough to make a small country like Seychelles succumb without difficulty.

As the fighting on the Mediterranean front intensified, the smoke of war in the Indian Ocean became intense.

Somalia’s main maritime military forces are concentrated in Seychelles and the central Indian Ocean.It seems that there is nothing to do, but the military contest in the Indian Ocean has begun.

Outside the Seychelles, a very ordinary civilian helicopter is flying towards the center of the island group.

On the helicopter.Lynch Hill, commander of the Red Police Navy’s Indian Ocean Joint Fleet, was watching the archipelago below with great interest at this moment.

Today Lynch Hill does not wear a military uniform, just a suit that looks very solemn.By his side is his own chief of staff and the chief of staff of the fleet.Vice Admiral of the Somali Federal Guard-Wang Fujun.(Book friend’s real-name guest appearance)

The two of them stayed away from their fleet and visited Seychelles in casual clothes, with only one purpose, to secretly meet with senior Seychelles.The purpose is naturally very simple. The Somali Navy needs Seychelles.

“After this war, you must come here to enjoy it. It is indeed very beautiful.” On the helicopter, Lynch Hill suddenly said.

“It turns out that I always thought that your Lao Lin is a machine, a machine that runs continuously every day. Now it seems that you Lao Lin is also a person, a person who knows that he should rest.” Wang Fujun smiled slightly and said.

When Lin Qishan heard the words, a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He shook his head and said, “In these years, I haven’t taken a good look at the world. Suddenly seeing such a beautiful scenery makes me a little bit emotional, but after the war, I really need to relax. a bit.”

“I am afraid that the war does not need to be over. The main headquarters is to move here. It is not enough.” Wang Fujun said.

“It’s not possible here. Such beautiful nature cannot be destroyed under the flames of war.” Lin Qishan shook his head and said.

“Our purpose this time, isn’t it to turn this place into a forward base for naval aviation and missile forces? At that time, there will also be the risk of falling into war, unless we can guarantee that the enemy’s fighter planes cannot approach here.” Wang Fu Jundao.

“That being said, we don’t have such a good life. The command coordination of the fleet is not a simple task. It is more convenient for us to command the ship, and we can also act with the fleet. And the beauty here should be that kind of let down. It is the right thing to enjoy all the burdens in your heart. Once the battle breaks out, the surrounding scenery is no different from poor mountains and bad waters.” Lin Qishan said.

The atmosphere immediately became heavy, and Wang Fujun nodded and said: “Victory ultimately belongs to us.”

When Lin Qishan heard the words, he smiled and did not continue to say anything, but admired the scenery of the island under the helicopter.

Ten minutes later, the helicopter stopped on a private apron in Victoria, the capital of Seychelles.

The dozen or so people in black who had been waiting here had already prepared their cars, and the two of Lynch Hill got on an extended car and drove towards the Presidential Palace in Victoria.

Half an hour later, in the Presidential Palace of Victoria, the door of Seychelles President James Michel’s office was pushed open from the outside, and the king of Lynch Hill, Fu Jun, walked in as if he were going home.

President James Michel was not too surprised, as if he also expected the two to come.And before the two of them could speak, they took the lead and said: “Two generals. Seychelles is just an island country that is so small that it is unable to fight a battle, and the country does not have the economy to fight. Naturally, it is impossible to be your enemy of one. I can’t provoke you, nor can I provoke the United States, so please raise your hands high.”

“The president seems to be a sensible person. In that case, I won’t be oblivious. In addition to conveying our Mr. President’s friendly greetings, I also hope you can consider our proposal again.” Lin Qishan found a chair and sat down. , Said.

“There is nothing to consider. Your fighters can completely destroy us, but the NATO naval and air force missiles on the Indian Ocean Territory will also destroy our small country as soon as possible. No matter which side you choose, it is a way of destruction. I I just ask you to spare our small country, we have no intention of fighting for hegemony, just want to live in peace.” James Michelle said in a pleading tone.

Sitting in his position, no one can afford to offend, and can only pray that he can remain neutral and not get involved in any side of the war, otherwise the little Seychelles will be eaten and nothing is left.

For the words of James Michel.Lynch Hill was also prepared for a long time. This time he came here to completely change James Michel’s attitude.

It is impossible for Seychelles to remain neutral, except for its geographical location.It is also because Seychelles has two airports of sufficient scale to take off and land large transport aircraft to meet the needs of strategic delivery and transshipment.

This is fighting the next Indian Ocean.With a huge role, the navy can also rely on the Seychelles for nearby supplies.The supply ships in the fleet can be directly supplied here and then returned to the fleet.Replenish the fleet.This saves two or three days of going back and forth.

“We fully understand the wishes of the people of Seychelles, and it will not affect your lives. Due to the war, the tourism industry here has suffered huge losses. To this I have also brought the actual friendship of our president. It will make the people of Seychelles suffer, and guarantee that you will not get involved in the war.” Lin Qishan said.

Next, when Wang Fujun’s voice fell in Lin Qishan, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, tapped the mobile phone’s screen, and projected the contents of the mobile phone in front of everyone, saying: “This is during the war. We rented your port and The cost of the airport 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 excited, but the economy is not the main reason, it is that Seychelles cannot withstand the toss of war.”

Lin Qishan waved his hand, signaled Wang Fujun to put away his mobile phone, and continued: “The reason why I brought my Chief of Staff here today is to dispel Mr. President’s worries.

Although I don’t know what price NATO will give the president to start, I believe that what we can give is what the people of Seychelles want.”

James Michel asked: “Listen here.”

Lynch Hill slowly stood up, walked to the national map next to the president’s office, and said: “Seychelles is only more than a thousand kilometers away from our east coast. Whether it is our fighter planes or missiles, it can quickly destroy these. Everything on the island does not require our fleet to act.

So no matter what price NATO offers, I believe that Mr. President will not be able to agree to it, because Seychelles cannot enjoy any price.But we are different. NATO can threaten Seychelles, and there is only one place, 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 strong military base in the Indian Ocean. NATO strategic bombers can start from here and bomb the entire Africa and the Middle East.

Seychelles is naturally within the scope of a full-scale attack. I think this is the reason why Mr. President has been too late 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. Seychelles has been around for a decade, and it is time to make the final decision.

However, I did not come here to have a final showdown with you, nor do we intend to spoil everything that is beautiful here. We just want to show Mr. President a movie, a real movie, I believe after the movie is over.Mr. President will make the most sensible decision.”

After Lin Qishan finished speaking, he patted his hands.Then four people in black pushed the door and walked in, each of them holding a big box in their hands.

The four people who came in were busy without others.Soon in the open space in the office, the projection device has been installed.The four of them took the empty box and walked out.

Lin Qishan then continued to speak: “Next, Mr. President, please enjoy it.”

“What do you want me to see?” James Michel, who had been watching all this calmly, finally couldn’t help asking.

“I think you will understand it in a long time.” Lin Qishan replied, winking at Wang Fujun, who nodded and turned on the projector.

Immediately, a clear picture appeared before their eyes, on the clear sky of the sea.An elliptical circular island focal point appears on the projection.

James Michel recognized it immediately. The picture was the British Indian Ocean Territory, which is also NATO’s closest maritime military base to Somalia.

The island group is located in the central area of ​​the Indian Ocean and can guard the entire central area of ​​the Indian Ocean.

To the west can control the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea, and to the east can restrict all routes to the North Pacific.

The British Indian Ocean Territory has always been an important military base for Britain and the United States, but it has always been operated by Americans.

When the United States launched a war against Israel and Afghanistan, it was the strategic bombers that took off from here to carry out strategic bombing of the two countries.

On the main island Diego Garcia.The US military has built a very complete military base that is fully capable of taking off any US military aircraft.

At the same time, a very complete naval replenishment base has also been built in the island group, which can dock at two aircraft carrier battle groups for replenishment at the same time, which is an important replenishment extension of the US Navy’s open sea operations.

There are no residents on the island.The former aborigines were also expelled from this island, and now apart from the US military, there are still some contractor construction teams.Continue military development and utilization of this island.

When the war broke out, Li Lan’s eyes were on here for the first time.As the only NATO military base in the Indian Ocean that can limit its naval power.This naturally becomes a target that must be eliminated.

From the beginning of the war, Lin Qishan received the order to control the Indian Ocean. The target was the British Indian Ocean Territory. Not only was it necessary to destroy the island, but also to seize this island as his own, so that the Red Police fleet would have a broader extension. Combat space.

However, this island group is not so easy to occupy. 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 they have a large number of strong bunkers and fortifications.

The material reserves on the island are not only sufficient, but also very safe. The island also has a certain scale of combat aircraft and air defense forces, and there are also US submarines and surface ships cruising around.It is a fairly solid military fortress, even if the Red Police Navy has an absolute advantage in force, it also needs to face certain difficulties.

And when attacking here, I have to consider Australia not far away, where a large number of NATO member navies are gathering. If they can’t quickly capture the British Indian Ocean Territory, they will also fight for a small island. , Evolved into a tug of war.

It is not a wise move to consume unnecessary naval power in this place.

Moreover, if it is forced to attack, it is impossible to quickly attack the British Indian Ocean Territory.

On the contrary, it is very likely to evolve into a battle between Japan and the United States in the Pacific Ocean for islands during World War II, because the soldiers of the US Marine Corps are ready to defend the islands and wait for rescue.

With conventional combat methods, even with sufficient firepower, it will be difficult to eliminate the defense forces above, and once the landing battle begins, it will fall into a bitter battle.

This kind of battle is something that any commander must avoid. Modern warfare, fast-paced battles like this, are very likely to fall into a battle mode that no one likes.

Furthermore, if such a war were to be fought, it would be better to encircle the British Indian Ocean Territory, and then skip this place directly to ensure that the US troops above could not threaten the safety of the fleet and then advance directly into the East 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.

Seychelles was the first relay supply point, but it was unable to quickly supply naval main ships in the East Indian Ocean.

But if it is combined with the British Indian Ocean Territory, the situation is very different.

Everyone knows that if a naval battle breaks out in the Indian Ocean, the scale is absolutely unprecedented, because both sides have accumulated too strong naval power.

It’s impossible to just put out a little bit to do it, you can only go all out.

The Somali Navy’s fleet in the Indian Ocean has reached the size of thirteen aircraft carrier battle groups, plus amphibious battle groups and submarines as well as various other fleets. All of its warships are no less than 300 ships.

Such a large fleet is no longer enough for a supply ship, and can only be quickly supplied through a fixed port nearby.

Although Seychelles is convenient, it is still far away from the East Indian Ocean.

But the British Indian Ocean Territory is different. It is not very far from the East Indian Ocean. It has a sound port and air base, which 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 front-line combat fleet will have a crisis of reduced combat effectiveness due to untimely supply.

After all, Somalia is not like NATO. In the eastern part of the Indian Ocean, there are places for replenishment everywhere, north to south, from Indonesia to Australia.

Therefore, for the Somali Navy, the British Indian Ocean Territory has become even more important here.
