Red Alert Somalia

On the first day he came out, Li Lan immediately came to the foot of the Sulud Mountain Range. At this moment, at the foot of this huge mountain range, large tracts of rocks have been razed. There are hundreds of construction vehicles in the huge open space of more than three square kilometers. Back and forth here, the huge and extremely roaring sound has been continuously sounding for almost a year.

Li Lan's arrival did not interrupt the orderly work here. Looking into the eye, all the engineering staff were wearing the unique mission statement of the base engineer.And in the open area near the bottom of the mountain, four huge tunnels appeared, and a railroad track connected from the tunnel, from time to time you can see rows of carts pulling mud along the rails and being transported to the open space outside. Dumped and then transported away by other engineering vehicles.

Above these four huge tunnels, two huge banners were raised. The upper banner reads "Somali Construction Engineering Corps 001 Project", and the lower banner reads "One heart, build the world's first mountain tunnel!"

Standing on the slope of the open space, watching the laborious engineering trucks transporting all kinds of mud mixed with rocks back and forth, Li Lan raised his leg and walked towards the construction site below.

"Commander, you want to go down, please bring this, otherwise there will be too much dust underneath." Natasha, who followed Li Lan to inspect, brought a set of engineering uniforms and engineering helmets, and an unopened mask.

"There is some chaos below, do you really want to go down?" At this time, the head of the Construction Engineering Corps, an engineer-like person also said.

"What does it matter? Since it's an inspection, you have to take a good look. What can you see here?" Li Lan took the engineering uniform that Natasha handed over, put it on immediately, and said while wearing it, "Jack West, I leave this to you, don’t let me down."

"Please rest assured, Commander, Jacky promises to complete the task smoothly." The engineer named Jacky said immediately.

"Yeah. I'm more at ease for you, but you still have to be careful when digging a tunnel like this." Li Lan patted the opponent on the shoulder, then raised his leg and walked on.

Jackie is an engineer, an engineer with great potential, otherwise Li Lan would not entrust such a huge project to him.The Construction Engineering Corps belongs to the Garrison Corps.There are basically no combat soldiers inside, but most of them are composed of engineers, and then recruit some potential good seedlings from the garrison to form a professional engineering unit.

This tunnel runs through Bagua City and Erigab, and is a very important national project.Because from Bagua City to Erigabo, there is a barrier from the Surud Mountains.Although in between.There is a passage, but the mountain road is steep and rugged and cannot be built into a fast main road.And to detour from the west of the mountains, it takes nearly two hundred kilometers more.Therefore, opening up this mountain range has become a very important task.

But this place happens to be the main peak of the Sulud Mountains, and the tunnel route is not all straight, even if the straight-line distance between Bagua City and Erigab is only more than 40 kilometers.But this tunnel must run through the two cities smoothly.A tunnel of more than forty kilometers will also be laid.The Leqishan Tunnel, the longest land-based mountain tunnel in the world, has a total length of about 35 kilometers.Therefore, here will be a banner of the world's number one.

However, the number one in the world is not easy to reach, and technology is not a problem, mainly because of the complex conditions inside the mountain.These engineers only work on exploration.It took more than a year, and only a year ago, construction work began.

From the very beginning, Jackie was responsible for this project, and Li Lan actually came here for the first time.At this moment, behind him, a reporter from the Somali National Television Station was working beside him.

Walk on the trail above the construction site.Moving towards the tunnel being excavated, the roar of the machine heard more and more clearly in his ears, and Li Lan gradually quickened his pace.Not long after, a group of people immediately came to the entrance of the tunnel.

At this moment.Everyone can hear the sound of friction from the tunnel very clearly.At this time, Jackie immediately introduced: “We started excavation from both sides. There are a total of four tunnels and eight excavation points. Eight super-large rotating excavation platforms are responsible for the excavation.”

Speaking of this, Jackie pointed to the inside of the tunnel and said again: "This is the entrance of Tunnel 1. So far we have completed five kilometers of excavation. The corresponding tunnel of No. 5 is almost five kilometers away."

"In other words, has this tunnel completed a quarter of its total length?" Li Lan said.

"Yes, but the more you go inside, the more difficult it is to excavate. The pressure on the excavation platform is greater. And there are more and more rocks in the belly of the mountain. The serrations on our excavation platform are worn out. The speed has been accelerating. Basically, all of them will be replaced every 36 hours." Jackie pointed to the mixing machine that was pulling a whole truck of cement in, and said: "The pressure in the mountain is too much. We can only reinforce the reinforced concrete layer per meter per meter."

"Go in and take a look." Li Lan nodded, and walked inside after speaking.

As soon as I walked into the tunnel, there was shallow water, and there was pumping equipment to drain the water.

"Have you not done waterproofing? Why is there water outside?" Li Lan asked immediately.

"Yes, we are following up on the waterproofing work. The water is brought from the inside." Jackie pointed to the accumulated water on the soil that was being pulled out, and said: "Commander, you want to go to the innermost point. go?"

"Is there any problem?" Li Lan said.

"No, it's just that the distance is too long. Let's go in by car." At this time, there happened to be a rail car pulling concrete and steel bars to go in. Everyone climbed up under the leadership of Jacky.

The speed of getting to the innermost part of the tunnel is very fast. The walls around the tunnel are full of lights, and the inside is not dark at all, until the temperature becomes cooler and cooler as the tunnel goes deeper.

And the mechanical sound became clearer and clearer, and soon everyone could see a huge iron wall in the distance turning constantly.As it turned, a large amount of mud was left from the big machine, which was also mixed with various gravel, and the scene was very spectacular.

Below the big machine, several engineers are operating a forklift, shoveling the mud from the ground, and placing it on the track waiting for the load to be pulled out...

The presence of Li Lan and others did not disturb their work because of the construction.Neither of them approached.

"At this speed, when will this tunnel run through?" Li Lan asked.

"It will take three years to get through, and it will be open to traffic in four years. However, the No. 3 and No. 4 tunnels can be faster because the diameter of the excavation is relatively small, and the railroad opening time is faster. As long as this tunnel is completed, then from now on. The time from Gossip City to Erigabo only takes fifteen minutes." Jacky said proudly.

"We must ensure quality and safety."

Half an hour later, a group of talented people appeared outside the tunnel. At this time, the journalists had been sent for interviews. Li Lan immediately said to Jackie: "Take me to the 001a project to take a look."

"Yes." Jackie nodded.

It was another half an hour later.Jackie took Li Lan and Natasha to the other foot of the Sulud Mountain.Here, many people are also digging tunnels.Compared to Project 001, there are no banners here, and everyone is an engineer from the base, without any outsiders.

The only similarity between the two projects is the declared 001 project.They are all undertaken by the Construction Engineering Corps.It’s just that it’s not a tunnel, or it’s not a traditional tunnel, because the tunnel here is more complex, and the only exit is very hidden, almost to the depths of the Sulud Mountains.

If compared to the amount of engineering, the workload here is not smaller than that of the 001 project.There is also a big difference, that is, Project 001 is not guarded by the army, but around here.There are light and dark checkpoints and patrolling troops.

"How is the progress here?" Li Lan walked into the tunnel again.

Jackie shook his head and said: "The tunnels inside extend in all directions and it is very difficult to construct. At present, we have only completed one-eighth. No matter it is the construction of pipelines and various living areas, we have not yet proceeded. According to Plan. The fastest speed will also take five years."

"In other words, it will take at least six years from the start of construction to completion?" Li Lan said.

"Six years is the most conservative estimate. After all, the construction of the facilities inside. It will not take long." At this point, Jackie said, "But please rest assured, after the tunnel on the other side is opened, The tunnel excavation will be almost completed, and the next step is the internal construction work."

Li Lan nodded. He didn't make any comments, but under the leadership of Jackie, he visited here.

For engineering construction, he is just a layman, and he will not guide these insiders.This time he came here, he brought eyes and ears.Because he knows very well that people recruited by the Red Police will not be lazy and will not lie to him.

This time he regarded this as the first stop of the inspection, and the real destination was here.Although the tunnel connecting Erigabo and Bagua City is of great significance, the project here is the real key.

This seemingly tunnel space is actually a secret base for the future Somali strategic missile force.The tunnel extending in all directions is a measure taken to make the vehicle-mounted intercontinental missile launcher convenient to travel.

At present, Li Lan has formed six surface-to-surface missile brigades, but none of those missile brigades are real intercontinental missiles.In the future, there will be intercontinental missiles, and Somalia, which is full of hills, will become an important base for strategic missile forces.

Building a base in a mountain is the best defense point. No matter how powerful a weapon is, it cannot damage the strategic missile forces inside. Once a nuclear war breaks out in the future, the strategic missile forces inside can also successfully escape the first nuclear attack. Strike, and then immediately fight back quickly and excitedly.

Compared with those fixed silos, strategic missiles hidden in powerful fortifications are the most powerful counterattack guarantee.Avoid a wave of being destroyed.

Although the current base does not have real nuclear bombs and intercontinental missiles, Li Lan has not forgotten to be prepared and prepared in advance.

There are more than one similar military strategic projects.In various parts of Somalia, many secret strategic projects authorized by the Ministry of Defense, like here, are already under construction.

"The construction efficiency can be relaxed, but the quality must meet the requirements. This must not be sloppy." After inspecting for a while, Li Lan suddenly exhorted.

"Commander, please rest assured, quality will always be the first in my heart." Jacky assured him immediately.

"That's good." Li Lan nodded, exhorting Jackie: "Go hard, come on!"

"Yes."

Half an hour later, Li Lan ended the trip. On the car heading to the next inspection site, he held a construction distribution map of important strategic projects across Somalia.

After the unification of Somalia, in addition to military strategic projects, he also signed many strategic projects similar to the Surud Tunnel.It's like the subway and express railway that are being laid now.

Trains are no longer Li Lan’s pursuit. Since starting from scratch, how can he still choose those outdated trains? Currently, the railway network being laid across the country is prepared for high-speed trains.

However, under such a railway network, there is still a hidden figure of military weapons, which is the train-launched intercontinental missile program.This is not an idea, but a plan to start execution.

Under hundreds of satellites in the sky, it is not easy to hide anything.The train missile plan is to mix trains carrying intercontinental missiles with other trains, and then deploy and launch them quickly.

This kind of plan is just an incidental strategic project, which requires a reasonable layout of the railway network to ensure that a railway can run through the entire country, and then it can be fully maneuvered nationwide.It is mixed with other high-speed trains, and moves in the entire territory at a speed of more than two hundred kilometers per hour.Speaking of survival victory, it is no worse than the vehicle-mounted method hiding in a solid shelter.

And in terms of rapid launch, it is faster than vehicle launch.As long as it stops, the top of the carriage opens and the missile is lifted, the launch can be completed.In terms of efficiency, it is the fastest except for nuclear submarines and fixed silos.

At present, in addition to these military strategic projects, there are also many strategic projects or infrastructure related to military strategic projects that are being rolled out across the country.In the process of serving the people, I have not forgotten to take advantage of any available convenience.
