"Boss, over there with the Wehrmacht?" In the office, the expert drank tea and stared for a long time before asking the question in his heart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Li Mo chuckled lightly and said, "What are you talking about about the new Ministry of Defense?" ”

The expert was speechless, but the expression on his face indicated that he was going to talk about it. Let Hussein take the initiative to put forward the proposal to increase the Ministry of Defense, Li Mo personally ordered Hussein to do it, and the reason is that there are many people in the organization who are puzzled. No matter how you look at this proposal, it is to weaken the organization's control and influence over the army!

"This time I went to the United States to deal with some personal matters. Although it didn't end happily, it showed me some truth! Li Mo turned his head sideways, looked at the branches swaying in the wind outside the window, and said softly.

"In the past, perhaps because of the possessiveness, the Somali Defence Forces (SDF) were always controlled 100 per cent, and any other forces or people who tried to get their hands on the FDTL were severely attacked. Now it seems that this is not the right way to do it! Li Mo said in a rather self-deprecating tone, "Now look at the Wehrmacht, from top to bottom, almost all of them are our people, it can be said that as long as I want, with an order, tens of thousands of Wehrmacht can take up arms to fight against any enemy I think of as an enemy, but in the end I found that although this has allowed us to control the army to the point of being like a finger, we have neglected other places, such as politics and economics, such as ...... Unite! ”

The expert listened silently to the boss's words, and from these seemingly incoherent and incoherent words, he felt that the boss was really a little ...... about what he had done before Somewhat awakened?

"We are all outsiders, whether we have Somali nationality or not, but in the minds of some Somalis, we are a bunch of gringos; The unscrupulous control of the army and the suppression of other forces have long caused dissatisfaction among many people among the Somali elite, but this dissatisfaction, because of the power of the organization and the control of the army, has not exploded. Li Mo stood up, walked behind the desk, opened the drawer, and took out a document.

"Look at it!" Li Mo handed the document to the expert, and then silently lit a cigarette.

The expert opened the document solemnly, looked at it carefully, and the expression on his face changed from anger to shock, and finally he felt that his hands holding the document trembled a little.

"See?" Li Mo took a puff of cigarette, looked at the expert and smiled bitterly, "If it weren't for the intelligence department to investigate the Egyptian named Mousa this time, I don't know when what these people did would be discovered." Perhaps, we will not find out until the other party explodes. But at that time, it was too late! ”

The expert froze for a long time before he said, "Boss, I don't know, why are they doing this?" Is it being used by those people? Although we have not relaxed our control over the armed forces in the slightest, we can say that we have done enough in other places, such as supporting political axe work, supporting local development, and maintaining a law and order environment, and these people should not be blind to ......."

"yes, why did they do it?" Li Mo frowned and said, "There may be some people who influence and exploit it, but these people are no better than those ignorant ordinary people, they can be said to be the real intellectual and ideal class in Somalia." However, if we look at this matter from another angle, it can explain part of the reason, such as ancient China, the Yuan and Qing dynasties ruled by foreign people, could it be that under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, the lives of ordinary people were not as good as those ruled by the Han people? I don't think so. During the period of some foreign rule, the people's life was still good, but why are there still some people with ideals and lofty ideals, hoping to restore the rivers and mountains of the Han family? ”

"Then the Ministry of Defense's business is to give the local forces a sweetness? Dispel the hostility of some people towards us? The expert nodded thoughtfully.

Li Mo nodded silently and said, "Sort of!" At least some of the contradictions that we used to think were coerced by force and Yusuf's hopes for peace in Somalia to get the other side to support us unconditionally. There is something wrong with this practice, and it is time to correct it. We have to do something tangible to show these people that Somalia is still the Somali of Somalis, not the Somalia of foreigners! I also intend to give some of my power to the forces that are serious about developing Somalia and are not hostile to us when this matter is settled! ”

Experts know that there is no way to do this. After all, there is an undercurrent surging inside, and on the surface it looks like harmony, but underneath the peace, there are rough waves, full of hidden reefs and whirlpools, and if you are not careful, years of hard work will come to naught.

"Then these people ......," the expert asked hesitantly. Although these people have a lot of energy together, it is impossible to use force to eliminate all of them, so what is left of Somalia? But if there is no reaction at all, it doesn't seem good. After all, among these people, there are a handful of people with ulterior motives, who are secretly supported by domestic and even foreign forces. They may be creating conspiracies that will be difficult for the organization to deal with.

"This matter will be left to the Ministry of Intelligence and Hussein, and this time the Meteor Commando will not interfere. In this way, no one else has anything to say! Li Mo thought about it and still made a decision.

……

Two hours into the meeting of the Defence Council, the formation of the new Somali Ministry of Defence has been finalized. When the time comes, it will only be necessary to wait for the Somali national parliament to deliberate and approve it. What everyone is discussing now is the choice of defense minister, and this is the reason why the meeting has been going on for so long and still has no conclusion.

There is no doubt that the allure of the post of Minister of Defense is very great. President Yussef's side, the hash side, the Adam side, and even the two neutral committee members who had no real power were very impressed. Because everyone can see that the post of defense minister thrown out by Hussein is not a bait to lure everyone to grab food, but to really share a part of the rights and interests. Although everyone behind this incident is vigilant, they can't stop the desire and demand for this position in their hearts.

Several forces are competing with each other, and as the party that triggered this contention, Chief of Staff Hussein watched coldly, and Committee member Palmer did not care about himself, while the committee members who were close to Hussein's side were fanning the flames and sowing discord. In a quiet and solemn conference room, people representing the vast majority of Somali power, like hungry wild dogs, fought for the only fragrant bone.

Hash and Adamu had planned to unite and snatch the post of defense minister from the Paraminchu Army, but now seeing that Hussein had no intention of meddling in this position at all, the faint alliance suddenly broke down, and the two sides were contentious.

"Your Excellency, I think that the post of Minister of Defense is too important for the country and the army. It is important to choose a man who is old and steady, and who also has a lot of management experience, because the Ministry of Defense is responsible for managing army building and military administration. We set up the Ministry of National Defense in order to narrow the gap with other countries, so it is impossible for us to let an inexperienced person hold such an important post, otherwise we will be irresponsible to the country and the vast number of officers and soldiers! Hash glanced at Adam gloomily before pretending to be serious. It seems that he is sincerely putting forward a very constructive opinion for the sake of the country and the army, but in fact, what is his idea, and which one of you here is not clear?

Old-fashioned steadfastness, rich management experience, etc., these requirements in the conference room, except for President Yusuf himself, that is, he met the hash. As the president of the country and the nominal head of state, Yusuf is of course unlikely to be the Minister of Defense, so the only candidate for the Minister of Defense who meets these requirements is the hash of his former chairman of the Puntland Autonomous Region.

"Although Chairman Hash's words are good, I believe that the Minister of Defense must have experience in military work and a certain degree of understanding of the military; secondly, China's peaceful reunification has not been long in coming, and many tasks are being resumed, and the Minister of Defense must have a lot of work to do in order to manage national defense construction and military administration, so he must be a person who is in the prime of life and has energy, and if a person's physical condition and energy are not good, how can everyone believe that he can do the work of the Ministry of Defense well?" Adamu then fought back without showing weakness. If you say that you are old and steady, I will say that you are in the prime of life. Moreover, in Adamu's words, accusing Hash of being in unsatisfactory physical condition and being unable to perform such an important job, and even delaying national defense construction is a naked slap in the face.

Annoyed, Hash rolled up his sleeves and prepared to give Adam a left hook on the other side. But when he saw Adam's slowly exposed thick and muscular arms, the whole person suddenly shrank.

Yusuf also desperately longs for the post of defense minister, so he now wants to fight to the death with Hash, as long as the ugliness of the two people causes dissatisfaction among the neutral committee members, he may take the post of defense minister into his pocket.

Glancing at Hussein, who was indifferent and seemed to have nothing to do with him, Yusuf gestured slightly to his confidant Palermo.

Palermo was a close confidant of Yusuf, who was once the captain of Yusuf's bodyguard and an important aide to him in controlling the Somali National Liberation Front; Palermo, now nearly 50 years old, is in the prime of his political career.

"Commissioner Hash and Commissioner Adamu are right. Work experience is important, but so is physical fitness. As an important component of the Council of Ministers, the Ministry of National Defense must understand military and political work. In order for the newly established Ministry of National Defense to play its due role and contribute to the cause of national defense and the building of the armed forces, I am ready to recommend myself to the post of defense minister. Ignoring the widening eyes of the commissioners, Palermo continued, "I once served as the secretary general of the Puntland Autonomous Region, assisted President Yusuf in handling government affairs, and had some experience in administrative work, and later served as the captain of the Somali National Liberation Front Escort Force, and I also have some military work experience, and I myself insist on exercising, and I am in good health, so I should be able to do the job of Minister of Defense!" ”

Palermo's words made the atmosphere in the conference room freeze, and even Chief of Staff Hussein looked at this member who rarely spoke in the national defense meeting in surprise.

"Palermo, do you think this is a child's house?" Adamu was struck by Palermo's sudden self-recommendation, and yelled angrily. The post of Minister of National Defense is not as good as a certain post in a grass-roots political organization, and this is an important post that has a bearing on a country's national defense construction. This is almost unprecedented in the rest of the world.
