Chapter 94 One-Sided Output
Although Libya’s only mobile division had been deployed, Musa did not immediately send ground troops to launch an attack on Chad.
In the period between the attack and the declaration of war, Musa did a lot of things, including preparing for war and relocating all the tribes in the Tibesti Mountains to safer inland areas.
Qin Rui finally discovered the greatest advantage of nomadic tribes.
If this happened in East Asia, forcing people to leave their hometowns and move to other regions would definitely provoke strong protests and could even lead to civil unrest.
The tribal people living in the Tibesti Mountains not only did not resist the migration to the inland areas, but almost happily packed their belongings and left the land where their ancestors had lived for generations.
Thinking about it, it's actually understandable.
Mountain tribes have almost no other survival skills besides herding, and they have little affection for the land.
Compared to the hard work of digging holes and planting trees, herding sheep is an incredibly easy job, if you don't consider environmental protection.
Although planting trees is tiring, the income is high, allowing them and their families to live a better life. For most Libyans, this is not a choice.
Although the Libyan government is willing to trade economic gains for environmental protection, there are bound to be some people who are lazy, don't want to work, and want to return to their previous comfort zones.
There's still some hope for these kinds of people.
The truly hopeless ones are those who are content to stay in the mire and pray every day for a windfall.
Let these kinds of people rot away; the Libyan government won't bail them out.
After all, the current Libyan government is a thoroughly capitalist country, and providing a safety net is something only socialist countries would do.
While relocating all the people from the mountainous areas, Musa renovated the defenses, building a southern defense line centered on Samir.
Samir is a military camp located near the border, about 150 kilometers from the Libyan border, and has a military airfield built during the colonel's era.
Musa's command post was located in Samir.
Musa did not rush to deploy ground troops, but continued to use precision-guided bombs to gradually weaken Chad's forces.
On the first day alone, the Falcon I attack aircraft dropped 60 precision-guided bombs.
The assets included several fuel storage tanks belonging to the Chadian army, a command post, a section of runway, several pickup trucks, and an unknown number of Chadian soldiers.
Moussa insisted that the Libyan Air Force's first day of airstrikes killed at least 300 Chauvin soldiers.
According to official Chad statistics, there were 18 casualties, of whom only 4 were killed in action.
Before Qin Rui could react, Yuri, during a video conference on the night he declared war, instructed Musa to conserve precision-guided bombs and not waste expensive ones on low-value targets.
Even the cheapest precision-guided bombs still cost over ten thousand dollars each.
Using precision-guided bombs to shoot down Chad's old Toyota pickup trucks would be a huge loss.
Losing money is inevitable.
Even if Libya defeats Chad, it will not be able to extract much benefit from Chad.
But Libya can receive compensation in the form of territory.
For example, the Tibesti Mountains, which straddle the border between Italy and Chad.
The Tibesti Mountains are about 480 kilometers long from north to south and about 280 kilometers wide from east to west. They receive less than 100 millimeters of rainfall per year and have mineral deposits such as tungsten, tin, oil, and uranium.
"If we can use precision-guided bombs, why risk our soldiers' lives?"
Musa, who loved his soldiers like his own children, casually shifted the blame to Qin Rui, who was watching the spectacle from the sidelines: "If the production of precision-guided bombs is insufficient, then we should find a way to increase production. We now have a fully automated production line, which theoretically allows us to expand our production capacity indefinitely."
As soon as Musa finished speaking, Yuri and Haishan both looked at Qin Rui.
"Missile production depends on the supply of precision components, and production cannot be increased, at least in the short term."
Qin Rui spoke frankly, saying that not only Libya, but even the United States could not solve this problem.
This is the capitalist mode of production: capitalists do not strive to expand production to meet tidal supply, but rather keep the market somewhat hungry in order to maximize profits.
While most of the components used in Libya's production of drones and precision-guided bombs come from the civilian market, some key components still rely on special channels and are produced in limited quantities.
"We discovered a mercenary camp in Chad, which is likely a French Foreign Legion camp."
Musa prepares to use the Guardian rocket launcher to attack the mercenary camp.
"Don't use the Guardian, use Omar."
Qin Rui wanted to use the French Foreign Legion to test the power of the Omar missile.
After the outbreak of the conflict, the Falcon-I reconnaissance drones were deployed to Chad in batches to carry out more than ten reconnaissance missions, and performed exceptionally well.
Currently, two Falcon-I aircraft are conducting 24-hour continuous patrols over the Libyan-Chadian border, monitoring the movements of Chadian troops.
"Tiger, if we can defeat Chad in the shortest possible time, it will effectively improve our standing in the Arab League."
Saddam Hussein hoped for a swift victory to demonstrate Libya's fighting capabilities to its "brotherly" nations.
"Let them think what they want."
Qin Rui didn't care about so-called "brotherly" countries.
Regardless of whether it was the eastward spread of Western learning or the westward spread of Eastern learning, the Arab countries, as a link between Eastern and Western cultures, failed to give birth to a brilliant civilization. This can only prove that the Arabs simply have no talent in production and technology.
They can neither produce nor conduct scientific research.
Even its once-proud military strength has completely declined.
What use are these "brothers"?
"Tiger, the funds from the Arab League are still very important to us."
Hai Shan also disliked these people, but due to the circumstances, she had no choice but to feign compliance.
"Once our oil production increases to 2 million barrels per day, our average daily income can increase to more than $200 million. Although it cannot compare with those developed countries, it will be enough for us."
What Qin Rui wants is technology and productivity.
Qin Rui didn't have high expectations for this generation of Libyans. He would be satisfied as long as they could turn Libya's semi-desert regions into forests.
Qin Rui places his hopes on the next generation of Libyans and the talent brought in from abroad.
The term "foreign countries" here includes not only East Asia, but also Europe and America.
Before Qin Rui transmigrated, he had read a news article that said the East Asian aircraft carrier instructor was a US Navy aircraft carrier airborne commander whom he had picked up from the streets of America.
Libya does not need a commander.
However, if there are any capable people in Libya, Qin Rui wouldn't mind picking up a few from the United States.
Before the video conference ended, Musa received a report that Chad troops had moved out under cover of darkness and were approaching the Libyan-Chadian border.
And you know what? The Chad army, which is predominantly African American, is really hard to spot in the dark.
However, the cover of night was of no use to the Libyan army, which was equipped with night vision goggles and thermal sensors.
The Tibesti Mountains have an average elevation of over 2000 meters and experience a very large temperature difference between day and night.
Chad's army believed that with the cover of night, they could launch a surprise attack on the Libyan army.
However, on the screen of the night vision goggles, the Chaldean soldiers were as conspicuous as lanterns in the dark, with nowhere to hide.
In particular, the uniforms of the Chad army were not the desert camouflage more suitable for the Sahara Desert, but rather a darker jungle camouflage.
Chad has a complex climate, with a desert climate in the north, a tropical savanna climate in the central region, and a tropical savanna climate in the south. The residents are mainly concentrated in the southern region.
Samir, at the Libyan frontline command post, Musa watched the video feed transmitted from the Falcon-1 with a furrowed brow.
Several Leclerc tanks, French aid to Chad, appeared among the Chad offensive forces.
According to previously gathered intelligence, the Chadian military did not deploy Leclerc tanks on the Libyan-Chadian border. Instead, some Leclercs were deployed to the Central African Republic, while others remained in N'Djamena, the Chadian capital, in preparation for a possible surprise attack by the Libyan army.
A force of only tens of thousands of men was deployed simultaneously in both Central Africa and Libya.
Musa didn't know whether to be angry or happy.
It is wishful thinking for an army of only tens of thousands to protect the security of a border stretching hundreds of kilometers.
The Libyan army possesses armed helicopters imported from East Asia and heavy armored vehicles capable of high-speed movement, giving it the full capability to launch a surprise attack on N'Djamena.
Although Chad's recklessness put the Libyan army in an advantageous position.
However, being so blatantly disregarded by the Chad army only fueled Musa's anger.
"General, Falcon has taken off and will be able to attack Chad's forces in half an hour at most."
Musa's chief of staff, Zayed, was also someone Qin Rui redeemed from the system.
Musa glanced at the screen but didn't say anything, continuing to wipe his sidearm.
Musa's sidearm is an M1911 pistol with ivory inlaid in the handguard.
"If we let the Chad troops in and then fight, we can create a fait accompli of the Chad troops' invasion of Libya."
Zayed wants to create factual basis for a future capture of N'Djamena.
"No, we will never allow a single enemy soldier to set foot on Libyan soil."
Musa was determined to keep the enemy out of the country's borders.
So what if it didn't become a fait accompli?
Now that Libya has declared war on Chad, it is up to Libya to decide when and how the war should end.
From the moment Chad provoked the border conflict, he completely lost the initiative, and the Libyan army can protect Libya from invasion in any way it chooses.
Libya was the only country without weapons of mass destruction.
Otherwise, we would definitely take it out to test its power.
"As you wish!"
Zayed doesn't care, as long as he can win.
Half an hour later, more than ten Falcon II attack drones flew over the Chad army that was marching, and Musa gave the order to attack.
With dozens of precision-guided bombs trailing flames flying toward the unsuspecting Chad troops, the outcome of the battle was already decided.
The result of their deliberate attack on the unsuspecting was extremely tragic.
Chad's army was almost completely wiped out, with casualties exceeding 6000.
This was not a battle at all; it was a one-sided massacre.
