Chapter 1571 The battle ax is coming (second update, please subscribe)
The Ethiopian Plateau is also known as the "Roof of Africa".
Although it is a plateau, the terrain in the east is gentler, with the height dropping from 1,500 meters to about 800 meters. The Great Rift Valley area is 40 to 60 kilometers wide and about 1,000 meters deep. The famous lake area is formed at the bottom of the valley.
In the past five years, with the help of Soviet agricultural experts and water conservancy experts, a large amount of land on the plateau and rift valley plains has been reclaimed into farms, forming a large modern agricultural area.
The continuous corn planting areas are proving to the world that after the military changes five years ago, the changes in the "Roof of Africa" seem to be proving one thing to the world - the future of Africa.
"We must have a promising future!"
Of course, the Soviets would definitely add that with the help of the Soviet Union, Africa will undergo earth-shaking changes.
To a certain extent, this is true, but in various villages on the "Roof of Africa", primitive life is still maintained. People's residence and life are no different from those a thousand years ago.
There are no electric lights, no modern houses, everything is primitive and has not changed for thousands of years.
Although in the distance, modern farms loom, there is... little connection to ordinary Ethiopians.
On this day, while Ethiopians were sleeping in their dreams, Abebe woke up. At only 12 years old, he walked out of the thatched hut and stood in the village looking at the farms in the valley.
"One day I will work on the farm!"
Abebe said this,
For many Ethiopians, their dream is to work on a farm. After all, farm workers earn very high wages.
A farm worker's income can keep a family very well off.
After factories, farms are the best jobs in Ethiopia.
Many kids dream of going to a farm, and that's why. Only Abebe studies hard in school. After all, if you want to work on a farm, you need to go to school.
Of course, this is also a way for Ethiopia to promote education. You must know that before the revolution, there were few schools in Ethiopia, and ordinary people had almost no opportunity to enter schools. Even churches did not run schools. Almost all the country is illiterate.
After the revolution, with the help of the Soviets, they built schools one after another, giving many people the opportunity to receive education.
Perhaps it was the change brought about after the emperor was overthrown, a change for the better.
Sometimes, revolution is not a bad thing.
Just as he was looking at the farm in the valley and looking forward to the future, he heard some sounds coming from the night sky.
Abebe looked up at the night sky and saw a black shadow flashing past his eyes.
In the air, the "Tomahawk" cruise missile flew past like a nighthawk. It flew among the ridges of the Ethiopian plateau, flying close to the terrain.
Even in the past few years, the Soviet Union helped Ethiopia establish a modern air defense early warning system, but those radars were unable to penetrate the mountains, let alone see these Tomahawk cruise missiles flying at low altitudes following the terrain.
These Tomahawk cruise missiles are a new generation of cruise missiles. Compared with the early Tomahawk cruise missiles that only had terrain matching and inertial guidance, they added a GPS satellite positioning system.
After the Beidou satellite positioning system was put into use, the Space Exploration Technology Company further expanded its navigation range on the original basis, using it to improve the system and expand the service range.
Unlike Beidou-1, which only provides navigation for the homeland and nearby areas, the Beidou-2 satellite navigation system serves the entire Asia-Pacific region and parts of Africa and Europe. Compared with Beidou-1, its satellites include:
< br>
5 geostationary satellites;
5 tilted geosynchronous orbit satellites;
4 medium earth orbit satellites.
Although this regional satellite navigation system has not yet been fully put into use, it has basically achieved navigation and positioning in the mainland, the Indian Ocean and most parts of Africa.
After reaching a global positioning system cooperation agreement with the United Kingdom and other countries, the Beidou-2 project was also suspended and turned into "GPS", which can provide satellite positioning services around the world.
Now, although No. 2 is not fully networked, Africa is within its service range. Because of this, with the help of the satellite positioning system, the new generation of Tomahawk cruise missiles are more accurate. It is like this Flying over the mountains, under the cover of the valley, flew towards the training camp.
When the Tomahawk cruise missile was almost sticking to the ridge and flying towards the target, most of the officers and soldiers of the Kenya Free Army in the training camp of the Kenya Free Army in the border area between Ethiopia and Kenya were asleep,
< br>
For these people, after the fighting in Kenya, they can recuperate here without worrying about bombing by the Royal Air Force. For the Kenya Free Army, the Ethiopian camp is where they rest and regroup. , launched another attack on the rear.
Because of this, they will relax their vigilance to a certain extent. After all, this is Ethiopia, and it is impossible for the British to bomb this country.
While the Free Officers and soldiers in the camp were resting there, the sentries were performing the duties casually at the sentry post as before.
For them, this is a safe place.
But they didn't know the danger was coming. At the same time, a latest reconnaissance unmanned reconnaissance aircraft was hovering in the sky.
Different from the old models of reconnaissance and unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, the new reconnaissance aircraft is equipped with the most advanced low-light night vision camera, making night reconnaissance possible. In a border area dozens of kilometers away, soldiers are operating a drone in a box truck?
Lu Mingchuan sat in his seat, enjoying the local specialties prepared by his comrades. In fact, he just ate fresh food.
To be honest, the specialty food in Kenya is better than any local street stall or shop.
Although he knew that this place was close to the border and rebel guerrillas could appear at any time, Lu Mingchuanchuan was not nervous at all.
This is because around them, there is a special force protecting their safety. Not only that, there are also armed helicopters flying in the sky
In other words, in fact, they are under strict protection.
"Head."
Xia Changtian stood in front of Lu Mingchuan, pointed at the display screen and said:
"There are almost more than 2,000 rebels stationed here, and a single attack may not be able to get close to the problem."
Long before the operation, Xia Changtian had already launched drones and conducted multiple reconnaissances of the enemy's camps. He had already figured out the size of the camp and the number of rebels in the camp,
It was precisely because he had a certain understanding of the camp that he worried that it would be difficult to completely eliminate all targets in the camp with just one attack.
"There is no need to consider this issue. Our task is to determine the effect of the attack. In fact, the ultimate goal of this operation is not to eliminate how many rebels, but to tell them that there will be no safe place from now on.
< br>
As long as we are willing, we can attack all camps anytime and anywhere. In this way, they will no longer have any safe place behind them and will fall into a state of exhaustion. ”

Lu Mingchuan said while looking at the unsuspecting camp. For those rebels, no matter how hard they suffered in Kenya, they could be fully corrected as long as they crossed the border. There was no need to worry about the British army or the Commonwealth. Attack by armed forces.
The border used to be their security line, but from now on that's gone.
In the next battle, they will not get any rest. They must be fully armed and ready at any time. If there is any disturbance, they can jump into the battle.
Negative emotions such as panic, panic, and confusion will appear in them little by little.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the coming days, they will have to face the day and night nervously. With the frozen vegetation, they will spend the day and night in panic.
Let alone these black men, even any other strictly trained army would collapse bit by bit in this situation.
And this is also the purpose of this action.
Of course, the Tomahawk missile is also powerful enough.
Just as Lu Mingchuan and the others were observing the situation in the camp through a drone, a Tomahawk cruise missile roared from the sky and landed directly in the center of the camp.
However, what is different from ordinary cruise missiles is the cluster munitions delivered by the missile warhead used to attack the camp.
When the Tomahawk cruise missile arrived over the camp, the warhead immediately released hundreds of bomblets
In an instant, dense explosions rang out,
Accompanied by continuous explosions like firecrackers, orange-red mushroom clouds rose up. The violent explosions carried impact fragments, and you swept up the entire camp.
In the violent explosion, those thatched houses were completely razed to the ground, and the sleeping Kenya Free Army lost its life before waking up.
The power of the cluster bombs dropped by four Tomahawk cruise missiles is enough to raze this camp to the ground and kill at least more than 70% of the people. The remaining people may also be burned to death in the burning thatched huts.
After a series of explosions, the entire camp was completely razed to the ground.
Through the footage captured by the drone's camera, Lu Mingchuan and others directly enjoyed this powerful fireworks show, and they couldn't help but clap and praise it.
"Well done!"
While they were talking and laughing there, they even drank coffee. For them, this war was no longer a war, but a game.
They fought this war from afar in a very special way, or participated in this war. This kind of war pattern has never happened before.
Even to a certain extent, people did not go deep into the battlefield, but fought the war from a distance in an extremely special way.
In war, there is no such thing as courage or lack of courage. Everything is focused on destroying the enemy, no matter what method is used.
What forged the myth of Sea being invincible was actually sufficiently advanced weapons, advanced weapons and advanced tactics that were ahead of the times, and ultimately achieved all its glory.
