Colorful flags flutter at the Bojankini Military Port in the early morning. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When the first rays of sunlight reached the port, there was a burst of applause somewhere in the dock.

Brigadier General Gedi, the commander of the Navy, dressed in a straight general's uniform, came down to the makeshift platform at the dock surrounded by a group of naval officers.

500 naval officers and sailors stood neatly under the high platform, and each of them looked at the officers above the high platform with a fiery gaze.

Today is a very important day for the Somali Navy, and the second batch of 'Swordfish' large missile boats purchased from Ukraine was officially incorporated into active service yesterday, and this moment is an important moment for the appointment of the commanders of the S03 and S04 boats.

Brigadier General Gedi looked at the four large missile boats moored in the harbor with a look of pride on his face. Somalia also has a navy!

Then, Brigadier General Gedi turned grim, took a document from the adjutant next to him, and read it aloud in front of everyone: "Commander-in-Chief Order: Appoint Ould? Ali? Major Ibrahim was ...... commander of the S03 missile boat, appointed Ahmed? Major Kadav as Acting Commander of the S04 Missile Boat ......"

With some appointments, the quiet dock became noisy. For Ould? Ali? Ibrahim's appointment did not come as a surprise to many officers and soldiers. Because this person joined the Somali Navy after its establishment, he once accompanied Commander Gedi to Ukraine to receive the first batch of "Swordfish" missile boats, and received short-term training from the Ukrainian Navy. His talent may be far from commanding a fleet, but he is still qualified to command a missile boat to patrol the sea area.

And the appointment of the commander of the S04 missile boat was unexpected. Ahmed? Who is Kadaf? Officers and sailors of the Navy who did not know that it was a pirate leader. Some time ago, this pirate leader was caught red-handed by the navy during a fight with a fishing boat, and was later imprisoned in the port of Kiyanboni. It was not until later that Deputy Commander Lee came to inspect the work and ordered them to be released and Commodore Gedi to select some of the qualified pirates to join the navy.

Let a group of pirates join the navy, and the officers and men of the navy are easy to accept. Because many of the officers and men of the Navy are fishermen, they were sent to Ukraine for a three-month training after a period of military training before becoming a full-fledged Navy soldier. And most of the Somali pirates were also fishermen, and everyone used to look down on each other. And because the navy was newly built, there were no factional hills in it. The phenomenon of crowding out outsiders has not happened for the time being.

But having a pirate leader as the commander of a missile boat displeased many people. Although Kadav is serving as the acting commander, everyone knows that serving as the acting commander at this time is only temporary, and sooner or later he will become a regular. Didn't you see that the commander of the Navy was also acting in the beginning?

If the Somali Navy has a large number of ships, everyone will not fight. But the Somali Navy currently has only four missile boats, and a pirate leader has accounted for a quarter of them not long after he joined. How did this make the other officers and soldiers feel in a daze?

But no matter how dissatisfied there is in my heart, no one will say it to my face. Because everybody knows where this command came from. The headquarters of the three services is a military center that is one level larger than the naval command.

"The superiors have appointed you to important positions because they trust you and hope that you will not live up to the expectations of your superiors. We should seize the time to study and enrich ourselves, strengthen training, and bring into play the combat effectiveness of our warships as soon as possible to defend the motherland's maritime frontiers! ”

Commander Gedi said some words of encouragement and beating in a solemn voice before ordering the disbandment.

"Major Kadaf, the commander asked you to go." Stunned by the sudden appointment, Kadav suddenly heard a man shouting his name. A stirring spirit in his heart suddenly squeezed out the mixed thoughts in his mind, and strode towards the headquarters.

"You're here, sit down!" In the office, Brigadier General Gedi said with a kind smile on his face.

Major Kadaf, still a little dazed in his mind, moved to his chair and sat down. As a pirate leader, Kadav is also an idle lord, and suddenly joins the disciplined army, which is a miserable time. But Kadaf has a choice, he still wants to be a Somali naval soldier, and he doesn't want to go back and continue to be a pirate leader.

Because Kadaf is different from other pirates, other pirates join the pirates because of the embarrassment of life or ambition, for a huge ransom and the enjoyment of supreme power. Kadav's main ambition is to defend the motherland's maritime frontiers.

In Somalia, where there is no navy, the only way to fulfill this ideal is to pursue a career in piracy. A new century pirate with ideals and ambitions!

But what Kadav didn't expect was that he would become the acting commander of a missile boat. He knew what he was capable of, if he said that he could command a group of pirates who dared to fight and kill to hijack a ship, he would be able to do it without knowing it, but it would be difficult to command a warship that integrated more advanced high-tech crystallization.

He did not know that he was able to serve as the acting commander of the S04 missile boat, and it was Li Mo who personally decided. After meeting Kadafu here last time, Li Mo learned a lot about the actions of the Kadav pirate gang through Wang Ning's intelligence department, and knew that Kadav, a pirate gang, usually had no bad deeds. It is to hijack a freighter and demand a ransom, all of which are looking for ships of countries that have violated the rights and interests of Somalia.

For such a patriotic pirate leader, Li Mo is willing to provide him with a platform to truly and legitimately safeguard Somalia's maritime rights and interests.

In addition, Li Mo also wanted to set a model for other pirates. Let people know that it doesn't matter if you are a pirate, but you must be patriotic.

It is believed that the comparison of the declared outcome of the Abdi pirate gang and the Kadaf pirate gang will soon be introduced to Somali pirate groups. With this demonstration, the future behavior of these pirates will be somewhat restricted.

Collusion with foreign forces is the end of extermination, and patriotic pirates who defend the maritime rights and interests of Somalia can be recruited and become a full-fledged naval soldier.

Commander Gedi didn't figure this out at first, and disputed Li Mo's decision. However, after learning about Li Mo's plan, he immediately expressed his support. The benefits of Kadav as an acting commander are not only these, because Kadav used to be a pirate and must know very well about the pirate organizations around Somalia, and the main task of the Somali Navy at present is to combat 'illegal piracy', and a naval commander who understands the details of piracy will play a multiplier role in the fight against 'illegal piracy'.

"Major Kadaf, do you know why you were appointed this time?" Although Gedi supports Li Mo's decision, it does not mean that he is not worried about Kadav at all. After all, the other party is a pirate, and the habit of bandits has been difficult to get rid of after more than ten years of training. Such a bandit pirate leader suddenly became the commander of a naval warship, and Gedi was still very worried in his heart.

It's not that I'm worried that Kadav will have a different mind, but I'm worried that Kadav will spread the banditry to the officers and men of the navy. Some people call the navy an 'aristocracy', not without any reason. If a navy behaves like a pirate hooligan, regardless of its combat effectiveness, it will always give a bad impression to the outside world and will damage the image of the Somali navy.

"Report to the Commander, I don't know!" Kadav immediately stood up and replied loudly.

Gedi frowned slightly, then stretched. The other party is a pirate leader, and if he wants to suddenly become a gentleman and nobleman, he can't do it in a short time. Therefore, Gedi was not angry at Kadaf's very 'direct and concise' answer.

"It was the decision of Deputy Commander Li of the General Headquarters to make you the acting commander of the missile boat. Originally, Deputy Commander Li planned to let you directly serve as commander, but I objected and asked you to act as commander. ”

Gedi said as he observed Kadaf's expression. found that the other party did not show any dissatisfaction, so he nodded secretly.

If nothing else, at least you can hold your breath and know when to remember who you are.

"Although there is not much difference between the word 'acting' and the power of a formal commander, the 'acting' commander means that you do not meet the requirements for being a commander in some aspects, and you need to be examined for a while."

"Please rest assured, Commander, I will be strict with myself, follow the discipline of the Navy, and work hard to learn the military skills of the Navy......" Kadav was not stupid at all, and soon understood what Commander Gedi meant, and immediately stood up and made a loud guarantee.

At this time, you need to show your attitude without hesitation, and what the boss needs is an attitude.

When he was the pirate leader, Kadav would occasionally use this trick to beat the and disobedient ones.

Franklin? Draenau? Roosevelt left behind more than just Roosevelt's New Deal and leading the United States to victory in World War II. Roosevelt's carrot and stick policy also set up an important management tool for many organizational leaders in later generations.

After the stick, there is the carrot. Gedi used the word 'acting' to imply that Kadaf's current position was unstable, and after knocking the other party, the conversation changed and sweet dates came.

"Well, I hope you can make persistent efforts to become a qualified commander as soon as possible, and remove the word 'acting'. Although you are a pirate, you still let you hold such an important position, which is to trust you. In the future, you must do your job well, and don't worry about anything else. ”

Kadaf's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he secretly said that he was finally recognized. He Ahmed? Kadav has finally completed his magnificent transformation from a pirate leader to a naval officer.

The violent change in mood made Kadaf's serious appearance disappear suddenly, and when he was about to beat his chest, he loudly expressed his loyalty to Deputy Commander-in-Chief Li and Commander Gedi, and the pirate leader's gangsterism was radiated for a while, making Commander Gedi secretly shake his head.
