Volume VI Chapter 738 Under the National Day Parade Plan Discussion
readx;
Even Li Mo didn't expect that the first person to speak was the poisonous snake, the poisonous snake has a calm surname, and he is not very good at communicating with others, to put it in layman's terms, it is the kind whose surname is more introverted, and after he became the commander of the strategic missile battalion, he rarely saw him in public.

However, Viper soon gave an explanation, that is, the strategic missile battalion does not currently have equipment that can provide review.
Some time ago, Li Mo allowed the Missile Research Center to split a missile for research, and now the strategic missile battalion only has one missile, which has long been inconsistent with the title of "missile battalion".
After all, the troops under review must have a certain scale, and only in this way can they show that they have enough strength to show the outside world, rather than an empty shelf.
Hearing this, Hussein looked at his boss Li Mo, who was sitting at the head with a calm face, and he didn't know how to answer this question, because the missile battalion had always been under the direct control of Li Mo, and no one else could interfere. And what happened to the missile research center, Hussein also can't know.
"I can answer that question." Li Mo suddenly smiled and said, "With the help of Iranian experts, our own imitation of the Firmament 1 missile has been rigorously experienced, and it already has the ability to fight in actual combat, and the first batch of 10 missiles will be equipped with troops at the end of this month, and you can directly contact Colonel An Li at that time, this batch of missiles is equipped with strategic missile battalions, and their main role is not to be used as strategic deterrent weapons, but to be used by the officers and soldiers of the missile battalion for training and study, and try to master the combat effectiveness of a strategic force in practice. When we have more advanced strategic weapons, the missile battalion will live up to its name. ”
"At this parade of the missile battalion, the Sky 1 missile was the main thing." Li Mo smiled, "Are you satisfied with this answer?" ”
How is Viper not satisfied? In fact, the purpose of what he said at this time was for the batch of Firmament 1 missiles produced by the missile factory, and the last time he accompanied Li Mo to inspect the missile factory, he was moved by those missiles, but Li Mo did not make a decision on the distribution of these missiles at that time, and the people from the missile research center also told him that these missiles would also go through a series of launch tests to test their actual combat capabilities, and only when everything was tested would they really produce and equip the troops.
"Satisfied...... Of course satisfied, boss, I've been waiting for your words for a long time, before I came, I patted my chest with those people below, this time I want to make the missile battalion worthy of its name, not that empty shelf. Viper said with a smile.
The Viper's slightly childish words lighten up the atmosphere in the conference room. Commander Gedi, who had not intended to intervene, immediately took over the words of the viper and said, "Chief of Staff, what I want to know is, why is there no Navy in this parade?" Although the navy was established late, it should participate in this military parade ceremony, so that the people can understand and understand the important surname of the navy to the country, and take the initiative to participate in the navy to serve the country. ”
Although Li Mo also attaches importance to the development of the navy, from the perspective of Li Mo's various attitudes, Li Mo still values the air force and the army the most. There is unity and struggle in the army, the most important thing is to concentrate on military spending, the navy is a big money-eater, billions of dollars are filled in without a waste, and Somalia's economic power and military spending are so much, the current improvement of Somalia's military strength, the most important thing is because Li Mo is like a tornado, rolling money everywhere to loot money, so as to ensure the steady improvement of the army's combat effectiveness, if there is no Li Mo, it can be said that the Somali Defense Force is now a local surname armed organization.
Since the navy is a big money-eater, and Somalia is not a traditional naval state, everyone hopes that the navy will always remain at its current size, and its main task will be to do work similar to that of the coast guard, such as combating smuggling.
The embarrassing position of the Navy in the Somali Defense Force comes from this, fortunately, although Li Mo does not want to spend most of his manpower, material and financial resources in the black hole of the Navy, he is also trying to increase the strength of the Navy, after all, Somalia is a country with the longest coastline in Africa, and it is located in the world's sea transportation center, and it is a pity and dangerous to have no navy. The last time Li Mo visited Huaxia, he ordered four 022-class stealth missile boats from Huaxia, with Huaxia's shipbuilding strength, the construction speed of this small ship is very fast, and the news from Huaxia is that by May, at the latest, the four missile boats will be completed and complete sea trials, after which they can join the Somali Navy sequence.
Judging from Li Mo's attitude in the navy, he completely intends to treat the Somali Navy as a military branch with the surname of coastal defense, and does not buy frigates and destroyers that have a large range and are more offensive ships, but mainly large, medium and small missile boats, and implements a kind of strategic defense of ants biting elephants, and the overall combat effectiveness does not seem to be strong, but the threat to other invading navies is extremely high, and with the cooperation of road-based missiles and naval aviation and even the air force, the Somali Navy has a large number of missile boats. It is fully capable of dealing a fatal blow to the invading enemy.
This question was faintly revealed by Li Mo in several conversations with Commander Gedi. Although Commander Gedi was not satisfied, he also knew that this was a helpless choice, Somalia's strength can only support the development of a single branch of the military, and it is impossible to achieve balanced development like those economically powerful countries, and while maintaining a small elite army, giving priority to the development of a modern air force is the only choice.
In modern warfare, the importance of the air force is particularly obvious; in addition to missiles, the air force is the vanguard of war and the key force in local conflicts.
Commander Gedi was not unaware of this, but he was dissatisfied and angry that there was no navy in this military parade. In his opinion, the future of the Navy is not brilliant, and if there is no shadow of the Navy even for such an important military activity as a military parade, then the Navy, which has almost no future, will sooner or later be forgotten again. This is cruel and unacceptable for Gedi, who is committed to the development of the Somali Navy.
His sharp and direct question was originally intended for Li Mo to answer, because in Gedi's opinion, there was no navy in the parade plan, which was completely Li Mo's meaning, but what he didn't expect was that Chief of Staff Hussein gave him an explanation with a smile.
"Commander Gedi, the decision that there is no naval participation in this parade plan is a decision made by our General Staff after detailed study and discussion and with the consent of our superiors. First of all, the scale of the navy is too small, and the officers and men are afraid that they will not be able to adapt themselves to such an important activity that has a bearing on the face of the country for a while, and the military parade is not only to strengthen the sense of national pride and security, but also a means to deter foreign ambitious forces. Hussein's words are very direct, which almost shows that the navy is too weak, not only can it not have a deterrent effect on the outside world, but it will laugh at those naval powers and increase the laughing stock in the eyes.
Looking at Commander Gedi, whose face was getting darker and darker, and was about to explode, Hussein changed his words and said with a smile, "However, we can't attack the officers and men of the navy, we plan to hold a small-scale joint landing operation exercise of the three services on the day of the military parade, so as to familiarize ourselves with and master the experience of multi-service joint operations, and I am about to propose to my superiors that you be the commander of this exercise." ”
"...... Uproar"
The eyes of the other officers in the room widened when they heard this, and then they began to talk. No one has received any information on the plan for the joint exercise of the three services, and this is certainly a preliminary plan made by the General Headquarters and the General Staff Headquarters, which has not yet been openly discussed in the military, and even this matter is an idea made up in private by the chief of staff and the deputy commander-in-chief, and there is not even a plan on paper.
But for everyone, this is not the most important thing, the important thing is to participate in this exercise plan, just like Rong participated in the military parade.
"Be quiet!" Li Mo knocked on the table to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said in a solemn voice, "Don't talk about the exercise plan for the time being, let's continue to talk about the military parade plan." ”
When Commander Gedi saw this scene, he also knew that the matter had been decided and could not be changed, and although his request had not been met, he could be satisfied with the exercise plan and the fact that he was the commander of the exercise.
"In the National Day parade, we can be sure that the capital's armored brigade will send elite officers and soldiers to participate, and the 'Defender A' and 'Defender S' tanks will also officially show their faces to the outside world at the parade. Now it is necessary to discuss the number of several other units participating in the parade, the mechanized infantry is drawn from the Southern Military District or the Northern Military District, and the infantry can be arbitrary, but the one with the best mental outlook must be chosen. ”
Li Mo set the tone for the meeting again, but it was not without purpose. First of all, the Wehrmacht currently has only one armored brigade, with one 'Defender A' tank regiment and one 'Defender S' tank regiment, which is all the tanks that the Second Armored Plant can produce during this period. As for the mechanized infantry brigade, the infantry brigade of the capital military region has to participate in the task of defending the capital, while the infantry brigade of the Somaliland military region is to strengthen the defense there, the border area of Ethiopia is still not very stable, and the elite troops of Somaliland cannot be transferred, in addition, transportation is also an important factor, Somalia still has a railway, and if the infantry brigade is to be transferred to the capital, it can only be mobile on land, and it is a strict test for armored troops and equipment. The situation in the Northern Military Region and the Southern Military Region is much better, and the Southern Military Region, in particular, has two infantry brigades and is the closest to the capital, and if it is transferred, it will not pose a fatal threat to national defense and security.
After discussing for a while, this mechanized infantry brigade finally selected the third mechanized infantry brigade, which is one of the few units in the national defense force that has been brutally tested in war, and the mechanized infantry regiment of the third mechanized infantry brigade once made a long-distance raid on the headquarters of the Eastern Military Region of Kenya and successfully captured a group of high-ranking officers of the Eastern Military District.
The Infantry Brigade chose the 9th Infantry Brigade of the Northern Military District. In this military parade, the Somaliland Military Region has received almost no 'benefits'.
