On October 10, the Somali Transitional Political Axe Press Office suddenly summoned all domestic and foreign media journalists in Mogadishu for a press conference on the Somali 'multi-party meeting'. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At the press conference, the Somali political axe spokesperson briefed the media present on the results and part of the process of the 'multi-party meeting'. The formation of the Somali Defence Force, which is a matter of public concern, will be officially launched on 1 November.

After the spokesperson's briefing, a reporter on the spot asked how the Somali transitional political axe would deal with other partisan forces in the country that did not participate in the 'multi-party meeting'. Whether to continue to resolve these issues peacefully through negotiation and consultation or to resolve these issues by military means.

In the face of such a sharp and direct question from the reporter, the spokesman smiled indifferently. He had already been instructed from above and knew how to answer this question.

"This journalist's friend's question is what I'm going to say next. After many consultations between the political axe and the parties concerned, a detailed plan has been drawn up on this matter. At the suggestion of President Yusuf, and with the agreement of the representatives of the Puntland, Paramingchu and other parties, a 'rapid reaction force' of appropriate size and combat effectiveness capable of dealing with any contingency in the country will be formed, and the task of this 'rapid reaction force' is to suppress any rebellion that may arise in the country. "The Somali Transitional Axe has taken a tougher tone to show the outside world the attitude and determination of the political axe towards non-cooperative forces.

"Whoa......" The media reporters in the audience exclaimed at the same time. When they reacted, they recorded this extremely important news at an even more frantic speed. They even had in mind the title of the report - the Somali political axe's 'declaration of war'!

The purpose of the formation of this rapid reaction force is known to all. That is to be used against forces such as the uncooperative Rahanwen Resistance Army. For unknown reasons, the Somali transitional political axe and a few powerful local factions no longer have the patience to drag on, and intend to use force to completely solve the warlord chaos in the country.

"Hello, I'm Clara, a reporter from the New York Times, has this 'fast reaction force' been formed? Who is her commander? Can you cope with any unexpected events? Clara finally found an opportunity and hurriedly asked.

As everyone knows, the overall quality of the individual soldiers of the armed forces in Somalia is not high, and their combat effectiveness is not strong. Whether such a 'force' jointly formed by its own side has the strength to complete the suppression of the 'rebellion'. It's something that the outside world needs to know urgently.

The spokesman for the Somali political axe smiled lightly when he heard this, and said, "The current commander of this 'rapid reaction force' has not yet been determined, but I can reveal a piece of information to you here." In this 'fast reaction force', there are elite units such as the 1st Armored Battalion of the Paramingchu Army and the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Regiment. She is more than capable of handling any unforeseen situation. Well, that's the end of this press conference, and we will continue to inform the outside world of some political axe-related resolutions, thank you! ”

In the unfinished look of the reporters when they left, they had to leave the press conference.

...... "Do you have any objections to me sending out the armored battalion and the infantry regiment this time?" In the smoky conference room, Li Mo, who was sitting in the first place, glanced at the senior leaders of the organization and asked with a smile.

This time, in order to fight against the Rahanwen Resistance Army, Li Mo immediately sent the two most elite units of the Ming Cook Army to join the 'Quick Reaction Force' in a conversation with Colonel Hussein. He must ensure that he can successfully wipe out the threat of the Rahanwen Resistance Army once and for all.

However, this decision was only discussed between him and Hussein, and did not pass through the military council; Although there was no clause binding him as chairman in the rules and regulations of the military council, in order to let his subordinates know the real reason, he still convened a high-level meeting on an improvised basis to explain the purpose and reason for this.

"Mouse, tell us about the work of your trade department first." Li Mo saw that everyone was listening, but he didn't answer immediately.

"Okay. I will first talk about the advanced work of the Ministry of Trade...... "The mouse will report on the work during this period, which focuses on the procurement of parts and components for the 'Lion King Infantry Fighting Vehicle'. With the large amount of money obtained from the 'trading' of copper shares, the trade department of the rat is not as shy as before, as long as it is a suitable and qualified part, it does not matter whether the price quoted by the manufacturer of it is more expensive. All the trade ministry needs is time. After all, Li Mo asked the trade department to purchase all the parts and components of the infantry fighting vehicles, which are equipped with a total of five regiments and reach 200 units, by the end of this year. Therefore, for the Ministry of Trade, speed is the most important thing.

According to the rat's report, three and a half months have passed, and the original plan to purchase enough to equip two regiments has been achieved, and on this basis, it has been surpassed. Now the bulk parts of the third batch of 'Lion King' infantry fighting vehicles are already on their way back, and they can be transported back to the base in a week at most. Everyone listened attentively to the mouse's speech, but their minds were analyzing that this matter seemed to have nothing to do with the 'fast reaction force', and I don't know why the boss listened to the mouse's report at this time?

"Good, good!" Li Mo praised with satisfaction after listening, "I hope that the Ministry of Trade can make persistent efforts on this basis and complete the procurement of these parts as soon as possible." Everyone knows that Somalia is going to form a new defence force. I won't say much about the various stakes involved, but just a little bit. That is, the new Wehrmacht will certainly not be just a 'rifle armament', but will definitely have to procure some heavy weapons. Although it seems that Somalia is very poor, as long as the domestic situation is fully stabilized and all the domestic resources can be controlled, the oil and mineral resources that are now 'bought' by foreign powers will be re-signed at the current price to sign a new cooperation agreement, and then the political axe will have a large amount of available funds. My idea is to arm all the Ming Cook Army first, so that the political axe side can see the surname of the 'Lion King' infantry fighting vehicle can compare with the surname. There is a good chance that we will be able to convince the Wehrmacht to purchase the 'Lion King Infantry Fighting Vehicle'. This will be a major turning point in our arms trade, heralding our upgrade from the light firearms trade to the sale of armored weapons, so when the 'Fast Reaction Force' was formed this time, I offered to include the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Regiment. Only in actual combat can the political axe and other leaders of the forces see the difference between the machine infantry regiment and the so-called infantry regiment......"

After listening to Li Mo's words, everyone suddenly realized that the boss's move was really clever. This is to promote the next arms sales. The Stars is essentially an arms buying and selling organization, not a political party vying for power.

With Li Mo's explanation, coupled with the relationship between the Resistance and the United States that he had received from the Ministry of Intelligence, everyone at the top of the audience realized that it was an imperative and important action to fight against the Rahanwen Resistance Army. However, some people also suggested that the third mechanized infantry regiment, which has just been reequipped for less than a month, can give full play to the advantages of the equipment of the elders of the mechanized infantry regiment?

As soon as this question was raised, Shi immediately explained: "The 'Lion King' infantry fighting vehicle has a high degree of automation and does not require too high skill in operation. What's more, this time the Mecha Infantry Regiment has joined the 'Rapid Reaction Force'; what we value most in carrying out military strikes against other forces is not the results of the battle, but the deterrence of this Mecha Infantry Regiment when it appears on the battlefield. Besides, we still have tank battalions, which are more than enough to deal with some armed forces. ”

…… At the Somali Transitional Political Axe's press conference in the morning, the Somali Political Axe's spokesperson's 'tough' statement caused an uproar in Somalia. Representatives were immediately sent to Mogadishu to 'take the initiative' to move closer to the organization and to act for the early establishment of the Somali Defence Force. The leaders of these forces are still secretly glad in their hearts how correct the compromise decision they had to make at the 'multi-party meeting' was due to the alliance of the four major forces. Otherwise, this newly formed rapid reaction force specially designed to 'counterinsurgency' may suddenly appear on its doorstep.

Unlike these happy leaders, the forces that had left the scene with the Resistance were panicking. They grossly underestimated the determination of the political axe to take full control of the country; The withdrawal of a 'multi-party meeting' shows that your power has become an enemy, leaving no room for anything. Moreover, with the formation of the rapid reaction force, some kind of military operation will inevitably be carried out to achieve the goal that cannot be achieved by the 'multi-party conference'.

Of the 13 forces that left the conference with RRA, four were on friendly terms with RRA. Immediately after receiving the news of the political axe and several other major forces, the top of the organization was sent to Baidoa to discuss with the resistance how to deal with the military attack that might arise at any time on the political axe. Three of the remaining nine forces immediately sent representatives to Mogadishu in an attempt to renew their commitment to surrender their arms and establish the Somali Defence Force. But there are still six forces that are undecided and on the sidelines. These forces are the kind of grass on the wall, and they want to see if the political axe side will use force to solve the uncooperative forces, and if they do, then they will take refuge in the winning side 'after the battle is won'.

Regardless of these forces, the rapid reaction forces have begun to assemble around the RAF-controlled area. For the troops assembled this time, the Ming Cooking Army sent a total of the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Regiment, the Tank Battalion, and the 4th Regiment; A total of 20 tanks, 40 infantry fighting vehicles and an army of 1500 people. They will assemble in Central Juba and attack the Resistance-controlled areas from the south.

The Eastern Offensive Force, composed of the Somali National Salvation Front (SORF) under the control of President Yusuf and some soldiers of the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the Political Axe Army controlled by Kenyare, has assembled in Lower Shabelle Oblast and will attack the resistance-held area from the east.

In the northern part of Baidoa, in the state of Helan, the Puntland Autonomous Axe also assembled an army of about 1,800 men.

The three major forces completely surrounded Baidoa in three directions, southeast, south, and south. The total strength reached 7,000 troops; The largest number of attacking troops in the east was 4,000 people. In order to eliminate the Rahanwen Resistance Army, the most powerful non-cooperative force, President Yusuf took out all his old books, which can be described as desperate. And to the west of Baidoa, there is Ethiopia, which supports the Somali political axe. To the north, the Puntland forces, though the weakest of the three attacking forces, had a slight advantage. That is, the territory under control is large and the space is large enough, and there is no fear that the Rahanwen Resistance Army will break through from the north, and it will completely fall into the crowd tactics of the Puntland Autonomous Axe.

Before the outside world could react, the sky over Somalia was already cloudy. The Somali political axe is sharpening its knives, and Hoho is ready to start slashing against the Rahanwen Resistance Army.
