In the port of Berbera, a passenger ship belonging to Saudi Arabia slowly docked on the pier, and passengers walked down alone or in groups. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

As usual, this ordinary passenger ship did not attract anyone's attention at all.

Ah Ming tightened his robe, glanced around the dock with a wary look, and then nodded slightly with the two companions beside him, and disappeared into the flow of people.

Three hours later, the three of them appeared in an ordinary shop in the western district of Hargeisa City.

Except for them, no one knows that this shop is the only secret Al-Qaeda stronghold in northern Somalia, and that the Al-Shabaab led by Amin was destroyed by Li Mo and Yusuf, and all the secret strongholds were wiped out, and most of the Al-Shabaab members were arrested. The only part of the backbone also fled Somalia with the desperate help of others.

At that time, Li Mo did not control Somalia, otherwise it was unknown whether Amin, the leader of the 'Al-Shabaab', would survive.

However, the collapse of Al-Shabaab has had both advantages and disadvantages for Amin. The downside is that he has lost his power completely and has been driven away like a lost dog. The advantageous point is that under Li Mo's 'persecution,' he had to give up the forces he had worked hard for, and completely threw himself into the arms of the 'al-Qaeda' organization, and was valued by Comrade bin Laden and became one of the important backbones of the 'al-Qaeda' organization.

This time, Amin secretly arrived in Somalia with two of his subordinates, and he was tasked with organizing the organization. But now most of Somalia's every move is difficult to escape Li Mo's intelligence agencies, and they have to carefully evade the eyes of the Somali intelligence department in this camouflage.

After entering the inner room of this shop, Amin and the two subordinates behind him breathed a sigh of relief. Although Somalia is not the Longtan Tiger's Den, to him, it is more terrifying than the Longtan Tiger's Den. The Chinese commander didn't tolerate anyone else, and he didn't show mercy on him.

The last time Amin came to ask for a secret placement of Li Mo, it was with the cooperation and goodwill of Comrade bin Laden, and Li Mo's foundation was not solid at that time, so he did not do anything to Amin.

"Harun, my brother, prepare food for us, Allah is above, we haven't eaten for six hours." One of Ah Ming's subordinates said to the owner of the shop with a relaxed expression, his tone was very casual, and it could be seen that the relationship between the two sides was very close.

"It's all to blame on the damn Somali intelligence department, we had to go from Pakistan to Iran, then to Saudi Arabia, and finally put on fake passports to get here. The long journey is simply more tiring than fighting the Yankees. Another subordinate also said with a smile, quite jealous of Li Mo's intelligence department, and kept changing his identity in several countries to evade investigation.

Amin didn't say anything about it, his mind was full of the mission he had come to ask for, as for his subordinates, let them go.

Soon, the shopkeeper brought a large plate of baked golden bread, and the smell could be smelled from afar. Ah Ming and the three of them were already hungry, and they couldn't bear it at this time, so they hurriedly grabbed the bread with their right hand and stuffed it into their mouths.

After gobbling up a bit, Ah Ming took a sip of vegetable soup, burped, and exhaled in comfort.

"Harlan, are you ready for what we need?" Ah Ming looked at the shopkeeper sitting next to him and asked with a solemn face.

The owner, Harun is a black man in his 40s, a native who used to go to Saudi Arabia as a young man to do small business, then secretly joined al-Qaeda, and finally returned to Somalia on orders to go into hiding.

In the huge al-Qaeda, there are many low-level members like Harlan, most of whom have beliefs, are radical, and have no good feelings for the Western world, and join the al-Qaeda organization, which finances the organization and is tasked with money laundering and intelligence gathering. Regardless of the small power of each of them, hundreds of thousands of such people together are the cornerstone of the largest terrorist group, al-Qaeda.

Harun had been tasked with developing members within the Somaliland political axe, but after the defeat of Somaliland and its reintegration into Somalia, Harun had to lie dormant again, waiting for the day when the organization needed it.

"Messenger, I have prepared five million dollars and a document on the military and political officials of Somaliland, and I hope to help you." Harun took out the money and information that he had prepared a long time ago and handed it to Amin.

Seeing the amount on the check in his hand, Ah Ming was overjoyed, but then he asked with some anxiety, "Is this money okay?" ā€

You must know that the amount of money earned by the organization every year by secretly controlling various enterprises is also a huge amount, but more of it is the wealth obtained by other shady means, and the money is likely to be under the monitoring of a certain force, and it cannot be easily used, so it can only be laundered by various means, get rid of the secret eyeliner, and use it without scruples.

"Messenger, rest assured, the money is completely clean. We have been preparing for this for three months, and we can already confirm that we have evaded any eyeliner tracking and tracking. ā€

Ah Ming was immediately relieved when he heard the other party's 'we', with Harun's identity, although he has some status in the local area, he is far from the point of taking out five million US dollars, if this really happens, it means that there is a problem with the source of these money, I am afraid that as soon as they use it, they will be known by the secret monitoring department, and their whereabouts will be in their hands like a melon, which is not conducive to the task. But now Amin knows that this money was not taken out by Harun, but arranged by the organization of the economic department. This is very safe, because there are many experts in counter-reconnaissance in the economic sector, and they have a lot of experience in how to launder money, and they can easily evade the tracking of the state's financial sector for a small amount of money like $5 million.

"Harun, if this mission is successfully completed, I will definitely show your merits to the leader, and if you need anything at that time, the leader will definitely not refuse." Armin patted the other party's shoulder with satisfaction, and opened his mouth to be an invisible carrot.

"Thank you, Chief, thank you, messenger. Allah, this time our task will be completed. Harlan nodded his head with joy, even treating himself as part of the mission.

Amin smiled and nodded, his eyes returning to the intelligence document in his hand about the military and political officials in Somaliland.

……

In Mogadishu, Li Mo convened a secret meeting with the commander of the Navy, the deputy commander of the Air Force, and the chief of the General Staff.

The content of the meeting was about holding a small-scale joint exercise of the navy, army, and air force on the eve of the National Day, and the content of the show was not a landing operation, but an anti-landing operation.

At the time when the plan for the National Day military parade was discussed, Li Mo put forward the idea of this exercise, which was submitted to the General Staff Department and the Navy Command for discussion, and it was already late May, and there was only one month left before the National Day on 1 July, and the time was very urgent.

The secret meeting was chaired by the Chief of the General Staff, Rear Admiral Hussein, and at the outset, the commander-in-chief of the exercise, Brigadier General Gedi, commander of the Navy, reported to several people on the contents of the plan.

In the plan of the exercise, the location of the exercise has been specified, which is located in the important port city of Marka, 100 kilometers south of Mogadishu, which is the fourth largest port in Somalia and the southern gateway to the capital Mogadishu, and the capital of the Lower Shabelle region, which is very important in terms of geographical location and political status. It is an important link in the defense circle of Mogadishu and a strategic point for Mogadishu and the Southern Military Region to retreat from the south and north, and the defense status of the city of Marka towards the capital will not change at least until the completion of the 'Great Triangle Railway Circle Project'.

As a country with a long coastline and insufficient strategic depth, if it is faced with the invasion of foreign enemies, the coastline and coastal cities cannot be easily abandoned, and it is necessary to carry out a stern defense and counterattack operation against the invading enemy near the coastline.

Somalia's weak position in defense operations is far more than that, because Mogadishu is a port city, and the capital of a country is a port city, unless the navy is extremely strong and there is no fear that the enemy will directly hit the coast of the city, it is very easy for the enemy to land and attack the capital nearby. At this time, the important surname of anti-landing operations is more prominent, and this is also one of the purposes of Li Mo's exercise, to exercise the army's experience in anti-landing operations, and to take precautions; of course, Li Mo has many other considerations in dealing with the geographical location of the capital, such as Li Mo is now strengthening the political and military position of Baidoa, and forcibly relocating a considerable part of the capital's heavy industry to inland mountain cities, so as to prevent the enemy from destroying Somalia's war potential at the first time. Li Mo even plans to choose a city with a favorable location as the second capital when the conditions are ripe.

The purpose of this exercise is obvious, and the content is how to prevent the enemy from landing from the sea and even inflict heavy wounds on the enemy by counterattacking in the face of the enemy's invasion and landing.

Because the time of the exercise is before the National Day, the opinion of the General Staff and the Navy Command is that in addition to the navy, the air force and the army participating in the exercise can be drawn from the parade units. In order to prevent accidents during the exercise, Brigadier General Gedi, commander of the navy, who was in charge of the exercise, suggested that the troops for the exercise should be limited to 1,000 troops, of which the navy and army accounted for the majority, and the air force accounted for the smallest proportion.

With Commander Gedi's explanation, Li Mo and several other officers basically understood the general content of the exercise, because Li Mo had delegated power this time, many things had already been decided by Hussein and Commander Gedi, and there was no need to consult Li Mo separately, and the purpose of this move was also to test the ability of his subordinates to coordinate and command the overall situation.
