"Mr. Art, I don't know what I think of it?" In a quiet private room at a historic specialty snack bar on the southern outskirts of Mogadishu, Li Mo and a black man in his fifties sat opposite each other. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was Li Mo who spoke, and I saw him pick up the wine bottle to fill the other party's wine glass, and at the same time look at the black man's face with his eyes.

The black man who was called 'Mr. Alter' by Li Mo was a member of the National Defense Committee today, and he was originally close to the Hash Commissioner, but during the Soken War, after the Hash Commissar was killed by Hussein on the grounds of 'planning a rebellion', the Ark Commissioner saw the change in the situation and immediately fell to Hussein's side.

There is no shortage of grass in the world to see the wind and rudder, and knowing the current affairs is the magic weapon for politicians and petty warlords to survive. After joining Hussein's side, Alter was not involved in the 'Hash Rebellion', and after the war, he still served as his defense commissar, but he, who was originally elected by many small warlords, lost the last trace of influence on the army after the 'Hash Rebellion'. Now it's basically a nodding committee member with a raised hand.

However, at the end of April, after Li Mo took office as first vice chairman of the National Defense Committee and deputy commander-in-chief of the three armed services, the wind in China, especially in the military, changed again. Many bad rumors gradually came out, and the most important rumor was that Li Mo was dissatisfied with the 'uselessness' of several members of the National Defense Commission, and planned to change this situation and let more capable people sit in more important positions.

This is very bad news for Alter and several members of the National Defense Committee who have no real power.

After the formation of the Wehrmacht, these people gradually lost control of the army. Under the infiltration and suppression of Hussein and Palamin's army, they all ended up alone, and each of them was surrounded by only a platoon of guards composed of the descendants of their respective armed forces. These warlords, who used to be said to be bigwigs in the Somali civil war, no longer have the power they used to have.

But in any case, everyone still has the hat of a member of the National Defense Committee on their heads, right? At least at home, it is still respectable and will enjoy some privileges. Once this 'hat' is gone, how will these people who are used to being served and nourished by power live?

In the midst of this anxiety and panic, Alter finally received a phone call that almost made him faint, and three days later, he was invited here to attend a 'Hongmen Banquet'.

"Commander Li, do we have to be stripped of even the last bit of power?" Although Alter was afraid of the power in the other party's hands, it was a matter of his own rights and interests, and he couldn't care about being afraid for a while, and asked rhetorically with wide blood-red eyes.

However, this 'fierce' appearance did not intimidate Li Mo at all, because Li Mo saw the trace of expectation in the depths of the other party's eyes, was it an expectation of charity for the strong?

Li Mo's face condensed slightly, shook his head and said, "Commissioner Alter, why do you have to hold on to the last empty name?" As long as you take the initiative to resign from the post of committee member, I can guarantee your safety in the future, and I can also let you choose a place in China to become a small billionaire and live the rest of your life in peace. ”

After Commissioner Alter finally gathered the courage of his whole body to refute, he saw that Li Mo's expression did not loosen at all, and his whole body collapsed on the chair like a deflated ball.

The meaning of Li Mo's words is obvious, he does not want to use some special means to get the post of committee member on his head, and hopes that he can 'understand current affairs' and 'take the initiative'.

After a tasteless meal, Alter left with a check for $500,000 as if he were ten years old. The next day, his resignation report 'due to physical discomfort' was submitted to Li Mo, who was in charge of the standing work of the National Defense Commission.

With the resignation of Commissioner Alter, the Somali Defence Forces (SODF) underwent a series of changes in officers at and above the brigade level in May, and the newly established Somaliland Military Region, after the General Staff had drawn up a framework, was put under the responsibility of Brigadier General Palmer, the newly appointed National Defence Councilor and commander of the Somaliland Military Region.

Brigadier General Palmer's resignation as commander of the 1st Armored Brigade was temporarily assumed by Deputy Commander Li because there was no suitable person, and the deputy brigade commander and chief of staff were assigned to the deputy brigade commander and chief of staff.

After the completion of several recent major events of the Wehrmacht, a man came to the door.

Looking at the resignation report in his hand, Li Mo couldn't help but sigh.

Power is really a double-edged sword, if it is used well, it will become a bargaining chip for a person to fulfill his ideals and ambitions, and if he is not used well to be swayed by power, he will become an out-and-out careerist and conspirator, which will make people lose their rationality and even the principle of living in the world.

For Hussein, Li Mo has long acquiesced to the Ministry of Intelligence's monitoring of him. As a Chinese, in this rootless Africa, Li Mo's strategy is to not only make good use of the locals, but also to take a certain degree of precaution against the locals.

The 5,000-year history of China has long told every Chinese descendant what kind of devil power breeds.

And in Africa, which is full of competition from foreign native forces, how could Li Mo hand over his armed forces to an outsider without the slightest defense?

Taizu has a saying, and power comes out of the barrel of a gun. The armed forces are the foundation of Li Mo's survival on the African continent, and Li Mo has never thought of completely handing over military power to others. This is no longer a matter of trust or distrust, but a matter of the safety of himself and his relatives and friends and other subordinates.

Among the 70,000 Somali defense forces, how many of them belong to the secret intelligence agents infiltrated and developed by the Ministry of Intelligence, Li Mo knows very well. It can be said that Li Mo is well aware of most of the abnormal movements in the army.

Hussein also underestimated himself or overestimated his influence. Doesn't he know that the salaries of the officers and men of the army, the weapons used, the power to be promoted, and the 'year-end bonus' of nearly 10 million US dollars distributed at a large gathering every year will firmly control all the officers of the army from top to bottom?

Who in the army doesn't know who they eat, who they drink, and who they use? In addition to weapons and equipment, Li Mo invests tens of millions of dollars in the livelihood of military officers and soldiers every year, which is not something that can be moved by a few words and promises.

It seems that Li Mo's support for Hussein has always made him a little carried away. Even the whole army is loyal to him as chief of staff.

"There is no need to resign, you can focus on the work of the staff in the future!" This was the only thing Li Mo said to Hussein.

Li Mo did not agree to Hussein's resignation, not only because of Hussein's hard work, but also because the current army has just undergone a transfer change, and if the chief of the general staff who belongs to his absolute cronies in the eyes of the outside world is replaced at this time, it will not only easily arouse suspicion within the army, but also let some 'careerists' who are eyeing him from the outside world see the opportunity and do that sneaky thing to Somalia.

For the rest of the day, the army's main job was to summarize the experience of the Soken War and the integration between the new commanders and the troops.

In addition, Li Mo felt that Hussein would make a serious mistake in this matter, and it was not unrelated to him. If Li Mo had knocked Hussein from time to time, so that Hussein could understand whose army it really belonged to, and he would not have been blinded by the 'vain' power, this kind of thing would not have happened.

Through this incident, Li Mo deprived Hussein of a large part of the power in his hands. After that, he became a 'veritable' chief of the General Staff, and the powers that originally belonged to the National Defense Council and the Grand Military Region and other military departments were naturally withdrawn and delegated. Now Li Mo's position is different, and he must ensure that the Wehrmacht is regularized.

Throughout May, there was calm in Somalia. With the exception of a Huaxia integrated supply ship that was resupplying some household items at the port of Mogadishu in early May, nothing major happened to the Somali army. Li Mo also took advantage of this time to inspect the work of each brigade-level unit. He is now the deputy commander-in-chief, and he must have an intuitive understanding of each unit, and the intelligence department and those who report from below have never seen it with their own eyes.

While the Somali Defence Forces are gradually being regularized, the Middle East remains the focus of global attention.

In Tehran, the vice-ministers of foreign affairs of Iran, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Syria and Somalia once again announced the establishment of a strategic cooperative partnership between the four countries on the basis of the Third OECD.

At the press conference answering reporters, the representatives of the four countries solemnly stated that the establishment of the strategic cooperative partnership between the four countries is not aimed at any country or organization, but is aimed at deepening and speeding up multi-faceted and multi-level exchanges among the four developing countries, and is committed to improving the economic and resource sharing services of the four countries.

Today, when globalization is expanding and deepening, the formation of multi-field cooperative relations among the four countries in accordance with the needs of their own interests and their position in the system is a useful measure conducive to local development and communication.

This press conference, known as the Tehran Declaration, has caused great repercussions around the world. A number of internationally renowned observers have made statements in many media outlets. What is different is that most of these people implicitly put forward that the "Tehran Declaration" was born entirely in response to the pressure exerted by the United States and Israel on the 'four-nation nuclear issue' some time ago.

The political axe of the four countries intends to use alliance cooperation to jointly bear the pressure from the outside world.

From this incident, the outside world can see the uncompromising determination of the political axes of the four countries to develop nuclear weapons. However, for the sake of national defense security and the needs of global strategy, the United States and Israel will not sit idly by and watch the political axes of the four countries confront the United States in the form of alliance cooperation on the 'nuclear issue', so that they will cross the nuclear threshold and take the lead for other countries.

Will the conflict between the two sides in this issue and contradiction lead to a new war and armed conflict if it cannot be resolved through negotiation or other means?

This issue was immediately taken seriously by the political axes of various countries, and there was no need for a nuclear war, nor was there any need for 'nuclear proliferation or nuclear threats', and how to solve this problem has once again become the most important thing in the international diplomatic arena.
