At 5 p.m. on April 6, Mogadishu time, Major General Hussein, Deputy Chairman of the Somali Defence Council and Chief of the General Staff of the Defence Forces, issued an order to the Somali Army on a three-level alert combat readiness order on behalf of the Somali Political Axe and the National Defense Forces. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

1st Armored Brigade of the Capital Military District. At the same time, the camp of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Southern Military Region sounded the alarm alarm, and some units all scrupulously adhered to their combat posts, were ready to be on standby, and were ordered to attack at any time. The 10,000 officers and men of the 5th Mechanized Infantry Brigade and the 11th Infantry Brigade of the Northern Military Region and several key defensive lines that had built fortifications sounded incessantly, and the 10,000 officers and men of these two units were to be mobilized for war, ammunition was loaded, and field fortifications were built, and the clouds of war were unstoppably condensed over the Somali Peninsula.

At a military airfield outside the capital Mogadishu ......, after the last MiG-25 fighter plane slid over a runway of nearly 1,000 meters and flew into the sky, it formed a battle formation with 11 other MiG-23 and MiG-25 fighters in the sky and flew north.

When fighter jets carrying missiles flew over Mogadishu with the sound of thunder, the shock to the more than one million citizens of Mogadishu was enormous, because at this moment, all the media and radio in Somalia reported the order of the Chief of the General Staff of the Somali Defence Forces to order the entire army to activate the three-level alert due to the terrorist attack.

It's going to war! This is the first thought in everyone's mind, some wealthy people are thinking about whether to quickly take their money and family to go abroad to avoid the limelight, while ordinary Somali people are anxious to know whether they want to fight with Somalia? Where is the battlefield? Those of them who live in poverty are reluctant to move their families to become refugees until they are desperate.

The Somali Ministry of Foreign Affairs then issued an alert to all countries with embassies in Somalia because Somalia is currently suffering from terrorist attacks, and hopes that visitors from various countries will not visit the Somali border area and near the military restricted area, because these places will have a certain degree of danger until the alert is lifted.

When the political axe department ordered the collection of civilian trucks to transport supplies for the Northern Military District, Li Mo and the Somali top brass were waiting, waiting for the movement in the north. All foreign countries that have received news of changes in the situation in Somalia have also inquired through their own channels and expressed concern about the sudden situation in Somalia.

"Boss, take a break, you've been watching for hours." In the hall of the Information Security Center, the fox brought a cup of tea at a suitable temperature to Li Mo, who was sitting in front of a large screen, and said softly.

Since the bombing of the Kalis logistics warehouse, Li Mo has been staying here almost constantly, except for the occasional phone call from his subordinates, he has been following the news from the Somali side. Under the high level of mental tension, Li Mo's face also showed a trace of exhaustion, which made the fox very distressed.

"What time is it, fox?" Li Mo took the cup and took a sip and asked.

Seeing that the man did not show the slightest sign of wanting to rest, the fox sighed in his heart. She knew that men would not go to rest at this time no matter what.

"It's 8:46 p.m., and Minister Wang has just sent back a message that Captain Luo and his team have crossed the demarcation line to reach Ras Arnold, the capital of Sole, and with the help of a Somaliland infantry brigade commander we have recruited, they have pretended to be Somaliland army soldiers and gone to Hargeisa. It is expected to reach the target area by 12 o'clock. The fox opened the folder he carried with him, and sorted out the things that were not very important to each department and had to be dealt with immediately by the boss Li Mo, and reported it every half an hour. Of course, this is just a tense time like today, and there is no deliberate time regulation in normal times.

"The owner...... Boss, something is wrong! Just after Li Mo nodded to indicate that he knew, Chen Zhichang, who had been working in front of a specially configured computer with his assistant, suddenly pushed away the chair, stood up and reported with a solemn face.

"Just now, several radar stations at the junction of the southern and Kenyan borders have captured a number of Kenyan reconnaissance planes flying across the border to reconnoiter our country. I have monitored some information that has been very bad for us through the Kenya National Telecommunications Network. Chen Zhichang's tone of speech was extremely solemn, which made people know at a glance that something big had happened.

"What do you say? Kenya ......" Li Mo stood up from his chair suddenly, his round eyes emitted a terrifying light, and he stared at Chen Zhichang. I want to see something on the other person's face.

Chen Zhichang nodded solemnly and said, "Yes boss, there are big loopholes in the internal communication network of the Kenyan military, or they are not aware of these vulnerabilities, or because some officers of the Kenyan military do not have a strong sense of secrecy, they actually use civilian communication networks to make calls involving military secrets." We've been able to monitor some very important information. Through the analysis of this information, I am very sure that between 2 and 4 a.m. tomorrow morning, there will be a major event on the Soken border, and it may even be a direct military conflict. As the head of the Information Security Center, Chen Zhichang is most aware of the current situation. The military deployment of northern Somaliland against Somalia has reached the final moment, and a military operation against Somalia will be launched tonight and sometime tomorrow morning. At this time, Kenya also came to the table. For Somalia, it is even worse.

The military strength of Somaliland alone is about the same as that of Somalia. The territory of 130,000 square kilometers has a regular army of 30,000 men. Somalia, on the other hand, has five times the size of its territory and twice the size of its army. In addition, in terms of armament, Somalia has an advantage in only a small part of its forces. The size of the territory means that the army will inevitably be scattered, which is not conducive to the defense of Somalia. Somaliland, on the other hand, can move most of its army to the east and gather forces to form a fist strike.

"Kenya...... Somaliland ......" Li Mo muttered the names of these two countries and regions, and his face became ugly. By this time, he had a vague grasp of who the secret enemy was. There are very few organizations in the world that can unite two countries and regions to launch a desperate military operation against Somalia at the same time. And the United States, which has always had thoughts about Somalia, is one of them.

Somalia is strategically located to contain access to the Red Sea and to cover the entire Arabian Sea and even parts of the Middle East with missiles and naval aviation. In addition, more than a decade of civil war and the absence of a regional power in the vicinity make Somalia a good fit for the needs of the U.S. Africa Command. Once the Somali regime is controlled, the African Theater Command will live up to its name and be of great strategic importance to the United States as a whole. However, after the establishment of the Somali New Deal, the current rulers of Somalia do not have a favorable opinion of the United States, so that the political or peaceful means of dividing the United States and subverting them will not work. In the end, conspiracy had to be used, and it was impossible to directly use the US military to enter Somalia. Not to mention that the United States is now mired in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and it is impossible for the United States to draw more forces to launch a third war for the time being, that is, Somalia is the territory of Britain's allies due to special historical reasons, and it is inconvenient for the United States to do so. At present, there is more Huaxia here. The United States has many misgivings about using military means directly. And the best way is undoubtedly to let African countries mess up with each other, how to mess up? The best thing is that there is a war between countries.

Somalia's economic strength is gradually recovering, and national defense construction is in full swing, which puts great pressure on neighboring countries. Ethiopia is even better, the friendship between the two countries is greater than the hostility, and the Somali Defense Forces have not increased their defense forces on the Ethiopian border, so there is little pressure on Ethiopia. However, at the junction of Somaliland and Kenya, elite troops are frequently mobilized for exercises and training and armed intimidation.

If Somaliland and Kenya want to remove the military pressure from Somalia, they need to destabilize Somalia, preferably by returning Somalia to a period of civil war, which is difficult to do on their own, and even if they do, they will be demoralized. In this way, union becomes a demand, a way to ensure that benefits are maximized and losses are minimized. With the maneuvering of certain forces, this joint agreement was reached in secret.

Li Mo felt that although his speculation was a little different from the reality, it should not be far behind. Kenya and Somaliland have joined forces to launch a military invasion of Somalia, not with the aim of occupying Somali territory, but at destroying the Somali regime and the Paramingchu Army, led by Talimo.

"Fox, call Aka and tell him to be vigilant. Kenya could attack his defence. Li Mo suppressed the anxiety in his heart and gave the first order. Acre is a former commander of the base guard company and now the commander of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Brigade, who moved to the Soken border two months ago with the main task of guarding against Kenya.

"Then pass my order to Saleh, the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Brigade stationed in Batada, and ask him to immediately lead the 7th Mechanized Infantry Regiment and the 8th Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Brigade to the Kenyan border, and be ready to support the 1st Mechanized Infantry Brigade at any time. Attention, let Saleh remember to keep it secret, this operation must be unaware. The fox quickly recorded Li Mo's second command.

"Thirdly, let the infantry regiment of the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Brigade of Shanglai cross the Déby River, take cover near the F3 road near the Soken border, and let them immediately cross the Soken border and attack Garissa as soon as Kenya launches a military invasion of Somalia! This order was passed to He Xiaoqiang at the same time, and I remember that there were two armed helicopters assigned to each infantry brigade at the beginning, plus the remaining six of the air assault battalion, all of which were assigned to this infantry regiment. ”

"Fourth, let the Viper's strategic missile battalion immediately maneuver and prepare me for standby." Li Mo hesitated for a while, but still gave this order.

The faces of the fox and Chen Zhichang on the side changed slightly, and both of them knew what this order meant, which meant that once things turned in an unpredictable direction, that is, the Somali Defense Forces could not resist the invading forces, Li Mo would use nuclear weapons. Somalia is not a member of the World Nuclear Club, nor has it made a commitment not to be the first to use nuclear weapons, and once the time comes for the Star Organization to live and die, Li Mo will definitely use nuclear weapons in a desperate position.

"Alright, go give the order. Fox! Li Mo waved his hand and finished speaking, and suddenly called out to the fox who was just about to leave, "Don't make any records for the last one, and convey it orally to several high-level executives of the organization, forget it if it's too late." ”

The fox understood what the boss was afraid of, and nodded without hesitation and left the hall.
