Volume IV Chapter 357 The Reaction of the Surrounding Forces
readx;
Kismayo is not only an important port city in Somalia, but also the third largest city in Somalia. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThroughout Somalia, Kismayo is known not only for the size of the city, but also for the Somali Patriotic Movement, the leading Somali force that currently controls the city.
The armed forces of the various factions in Somalia as a whole can be roughly divided into three levels. At the top of the list is the superpower, and in Somalia, there is only one superpower. That is, Somaliland, which is entrenched in northwestern Somalia and is essentially a state within a state. With an army of 30,000 soldiers, Somaliland is undoubtedly the largest force in the whole of Somalia militarily, and in addition to Somaliland's social stability, its economy has shrunk somewhat under the international embargo. But the millions of livestock exported each year are enough to sustain Somaliland's social stability.
In the second level, it can be called a quasi-superpower. These forces are not as powerful as Somaliland, but they are larger than the others, or in some ways much more influential. In Somalia, there are only two quasi-superpowers. One is the Mogadishu Central Axe faction, which is composed of literati and occupies power in orthodox Somalia. Their military power may not be as strong as that of some partisan armed forces, but after all, they occupy the general righteousness and are also internationally recognized as the orthodox political axe. In the minds of many Somali people, the Mogadishu faction still has some prestige. Coupled with the political axe army that can be controlled near the capital, Mogadishu, it is not an exaggeration to call the Mogadishu faction a quasi-superpower; In addition to the Mogadishu faction, there is also a quasi-superpower that is Puntland, another 'reading country' in Somalia. Puntland's military power and political economy are not as strong as Somaliland's, but it is currently the largest force in Somalia that controls the territory. Out of a total of 18 Somali states, Puntland controls the vast majority of territory in eight states. So to call Puntland another quasi-superpower is 'well deserved'.
Under the super-forces and quasi-super-forces, there are also first-class forces. There are more first-class forces in Somalia. These forces, whether political parties or local warlords, are armed forces that control a piece of land. The Somali Patriotic Movement, the Rahanwen Resistance Army, the Somali National Union, etc., mentioned above, are among the first-class forces. Not to mention their political influence, most of these first-class forces have a military strength ranging from 2,000 to 6,000 people. Most of them are mainly ordinary armed forces, and there are few heavy weapons. However, because the composition of these first-class forces is mostly because of the same political ideals, or with tribes as the core. Therefore, the core level of these first-class forces is more closely united than other forces.
And in the south of Somalia, there are three first-class forces, and a little further away, there is also a quasi-superpower. As a star organization determined to control southern Somalia. There is no doubt that they will have to face the culling of these forces.
In Kismayo City, the tallest building in the city center is the Downtown Axe Building. At this time, the large conference room on the top floor of the municipal axe building was already full of powerful figures of the Somali patriotic movement attending the meeting.
At the head of the conference table was a middle-aged man in an Arabic robe, with a pair of sunken eyes, and brown but gloomy eyes constantly scribbled across the faces of people with different expressions below. Except for the three who were close to him, everyone else couldn't help but dodge their eyes. Don't dare to look at him.
"I'm sure you've already seen the information that Bandar has brought out. Now let's talk about it, what should we do with this so-called Paraming? Although the middle-aged Arab man was asking about the dozen or so people sitting on either side of the conference table, his gloomy eyes kept looking at the three middle-aged people below.
Of the three, two are black, and the remaining one is also Arab. Together with the Arabs at the top, the four tribes represented by the four are the main components of the Somali patriotic movement. It can be said that the Somali patriotic movement is controlled by their four major tribes.
The Arab man sitting first on the left raised his head when he heard this, revealing a somewhat sallow face. It can be seen that this person is not in good health. Just as he was about to speak, his face suddenly changed, and he quickly stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, lowered his head and coughed several times in a row. Everyone in the conference room seemed to have seen this scene for a long time, and no one showed a look of surprise on their faces. Not to mention sending people to the hospital and the like.
The first Arab man showed a look of concern in his eyes, and then turned his head to look at the first and second black men on the right.
"Leader Adamu, according to me, isn't it good to send someone directly to this Paramingchu army to deliver an order and let them merge into our Aiyun? This Paraming Cooking Army that came out of nowhere, I'm afraid I can't ask for it to be merged into our love luck, right? Ha ha! It was the black man who was sitting second on the right. The black man's body looked like a black bear. A specially made fat T-shirt still couldn't hide the person's bulging belly. It is almost comparable to a pregnant woman with quadruplets. At this time, the man, who was cracking his mouth and laughing exaggeratedly, did not notice that the entire conference table was 'shivering' under the rise and fall of his belly.
The black people sitting on the right side of the conference table couldn't help but nod their heads, and seemed to agree with the 'black bear'. The face of the Arab, who sat to the left of the conference table, was indiscerning.
"What does the Leader of the Alter mean by merging the Paramingchu Army into the Philharmonic Movement? What if the Paramingchu Army disagrees? Are we ready to go to war with the Palamingo? The Arab man who coughed earlier may have suppressed his cough out of anger, stared at the eyes of the 'black bear' with blazing eyes, and asked in a deep voice.
'Black Bear' Alter glared at him, and was just about to refute when he felt the black man above gently tug at the corner of his coat under the table, and shook his head to signal him not to say more.
Alter seemed a little jealous of the black man who looked very different from him, and suppressed the words in his mouth. But even so, he couldn't help but say, "Can the armed forces of a small tribe have most of their strength?" If you don't obey, you will be destroyed directly. There are not one or two forces that are being wiped out in Somalia every day! ”
In his mind, the Pala tribe had never heard of it before. Later, I learned that it was a small tribe of several hundred people. Compared to the large tribe of 10,000 or 20,000 people, it was simply too small. Although there were one or two thousand people in the Paramingchu army, were the soldiers who were bought with money as strong as the warriors cultivated in their tribes? Joke!
"Leader Adam, I think for now. We don't have to choose what to do with the Paraming. The first thing we need to figure out is why the Paramingchu army is under martial law this time. As for the threat of the Paramingchu Army to the Philharmonic. I don't think there's a need to worry. The Para is only a small tribe, and it is already bankrupt to support the current armament. Where will it have the power to attack us? The shriveled black man sitting in the first place raised his head to look at the Arab man in the first place, and said lightly. Although it was not visible on his face, his tone did not hide his contempt for the Paramingchu Army.
Under normal circumstances, his contempt is not unreasonable. In Africa, especially where the power of this tribe is greater than the power of the political axe. The first thing that comes to mind when doing anything is the strength of the tribe. The greater the strength of the tribe, the greater the things that can be done. After all, the population, wealth, and connections possessed by large tribes are not comparable to those of small tribes. But he didn't expect that behind the Paramingchu Army, there was also a force to support it. Although this force does not have the wealth of a rich country, it has advantages that ordinary tribes do not have. weapons and equipment and a complete training system.
The shriveled black man didn't seem to notice that the man's two thick eyebrows were furrowed, and he continued, "Even if the Paraminchu Army is a threat, it's not just our luck. Rahanwen must have noticed the movement of the Paraming Army. I think we should send someone to find out the cause of martial law while we wait and see what happens. At the moment our main focus should be on the Mogadishu side. Kenyard seems to be on the verge of a move again. Our 'President Yusuf' can barely be suppressed. If they get into fights, it's a good opportunity for us to get into Mogadishu! A pair of bean-sized eyes flashed with fine light.
As soon as they heard that they could enter Mogadishu, not only the black side, but also the real power figures on the Arab side on the opposite side were very moved. What are they doing to set up a party to 'work hard'? Isn't it the ethereal-looking throne of Somalia? Taking control of the capital, Mogadishu, would bring that aspiration one step closer. No one can suppress the impulses of desire that are gradually welling up in their hearts.
Compared to the arrival in Mogadishu, the threat that the Palaminchu army does not see is insignificant.
As the leader, Adamu wanted to take this opportunity to test the Paraming's army. It is best to find out the strength and intentions of the other party. At the beginning, Alter the Black Bear offered to send someone to negotiate with the Paramingchu Army to merge the other party into the Philharmonic Movement, and although Adam was very dissatisfied on the surface, he was a little surprised in his heart. It was a perfect fit for him. But the next words of the shriveled old man undoubtedly captured the minds of everyone present. His previous surprise turned into chagrin.
In the Philiac, it is not very united, mainly because the Amoi is formed by four tribes. It has always been the balance between the two Arab tribes and the two local indigenous tribes that have maintained the development of the Philanthropic Movement. Now Adamu saw that many of the Arabs who had always supported him were moved by the words of the shriveled blacks. This made Adamu feel threatened.
Although the leaders of the Philharmonic are the four tribes who take turns to sit in turn, if one of the parties has a great increase in influence in the Philharmonic movement, they can be 'ascended' or re-elected in advance. After all, there is still a big difference between the appointment of the leader of the Patriotic Movement and the chief of the tribe. It is necessary to pay more attention to the attitude of the internal personnel of the Patriotic Sports Organization.
"In that case, let's do it. On the one hand, he sent someone to inquire about the news of the Paraming Army. Whether it is martial law or military strength this time, it is necessary to find out clearly, and the main focus is on Mogadishu. Knowing that things had not turned around, Adamu immediately gave the order with a black face.
At the same time, several leaders of the Rahanwen Resistance Army in Baidoa, an important central town where the headquarters of the Rahanwen Resistance Army is located, also made a decision to impose martial law on the Paraminghao Army. Increase the intelligence infiltration of the Palamin's army, and be sure to find out the main information of the Palamin's army.
Li Mo didn't know that this military martial law had already attracted the attention of the two first-class forces around him. At this time, he was carrying stones, Luo Xiang, the captain of the Meteor Commando, and the adjutant fox, accompanied by Colonel Hussein, chief of staff of the Paramingchu Army and commander of the First Regiment, to the station of the First Regiment to inspect the training of the troops.
The Camel Hill base is not far from the station of the 1st Regiment. Because the garrison of the First Regiment, at the suggestion of More, was established on a plain not far from the Pala tribe.
An armed jeep cleared the way, followed by three military jeeps, and finally another armed jeep escorted them. A group of five vehicles left the Camel Hill base and headed for the 1st Regiment station.
When he got into the car, Li Mo didn't seem to see Tang Ya and Fan Qingqing, who were staring at them, and left them in the base.
Fifteen minutes later, the five cars drove to their destination. After Li Mo got out of the car, he glanced around. It is more appropriate to say that it is a plain than a wasteland. The neighborhood is empty except for the occasional tree. The endless ground is also sparsely populated with vigorous weeds and shrubs.
Where the car stopped, there was a small two-story building on the east side. The outside is painted with a layer of desert camouflage. In the middle of the flat ground in front of the small building, a flag was erected. On the yellow background, it looks like someone has splashed a cloud of green at random. In the upper right of this irregular green, a black eagle spreads its two golden talons, as if to pounce down to catch its prey.
Yellow represents the surrounding geography and mostly wasteland, and green represents the hope in the wilderness desert - the oasis. As for the black eagle, it is the totem of the Pala tribe. It also implies the implication of Paraming's boiled army eagle striking the sky.
"This flag is well designed!" Li Mo smiled at Hussein on the side. After speaking, regardless of the stunned eyes of several people, he took the lead and walked towards the base on the side.
The station of the first regiment was a hundred meters to the right of the small building. It is also the place with the most trees here. Around the entire base, a two-meter-high fence was built with earth and rubble, and on top of the wall, there were three barbed wires. From the outside, everything in the base seems so mysterious that people can't help but peek at it.
The gates of the base are not built with the luxury and majesty of the gates, except for the soldiers standing guard on either side of the gates, and the high-level dual-purpose machine guns in the two sandbag bunkers pointing into the sky. It's not as tight as a normal base.
Everyone who was pondering the meaning of Li Mo's words suddenly found that Li Mo had left, and immediately came back to their senses and trotted over.
Several soldiers standing guard watched this incredible scene with wide eyes. The bosses, who were usually very serious, all followed behind a young man with a smile on their faces. From time to time, he pointed to the base and said something......---The little brother really didn't have time to break out recently, and the renewal ticket of the greedy wolf king could only let it slip away at his fingertips with tears!
