The session of the General Assembly continued, and the proposal was quickly put to a vote after being agreed by the representatives of the majority of the member States present. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Under the impetus of countless behind-the-scenes 'black hands', the proposal to form a joint fleet to escort the waters of the Gulf of Aden was endorsed by two-thirds of the participating member states and adopted at the UN General Assembly session. Most of the members of the Security Council, the real core authority of the United Nations, agree with this proposal, because it is beneficial to most countries. There is no reason to disagree. Some countries may not have enough naval strength to send warships to join the 'Combined Fleet' to escort the ship, but there are always merchant ships in their own country that want to pass through the Gulf of Aden, right? All nations do not want to be hijacked today of a merchant ship and attacked by pirates of a passenger ship tomorrow. This cannot be explained to the people, and they cannot afford to lose that face.

Of course, this proposal is not without opposition; Most of the countries in the coastal areas of the Middle East and the coastal areas of East Africa opposed this proposal at the General Assembly session. Originally, the huge US fleet cruising in this sea area was enough to make people frightened, but if there was another batch of 'eight-nation fleets', would they not let people live?

The voice of opposition was too weak throughout the UN General Assembly. It didn't cause a splash at all, and it was drowned out by overwhelming approval.

The matter of forming a combined fleet is not something that can be easily implemented with such a vote, and there are many issues involved. For example, the formation, size, replenishment, and convoy schedule of the fleet all require detailed deliberation and discussion by the representatives of the main participating countries.

In the discussions that started, there was a slight disagreement that was quickly rejected by the opposition of the majority of the representatives of Member States. The representative of the United States proposed the formation of a joint fleet, with the ships sent by the countries including all surface ships except aircraft carriers and submarines. This article was immediately resolutely opposed by the representatives of China and other countries. Not to mention aircraft carriers, there are not many countries in the world today that have aircraft carriers; But under the aircraft carrier, there is also a powerful type of maritime combat ship - cruisers.

The current role of the cruiser, although with the advent of more and more advanced destroyers, has been gradually replaced. But it is undeniable that it is still a large ship with great firepower. In the world today, only four countries have cruisers: the United States, Russia, Italy, Peru. The United States has the largest number of cruisers in the world, at 54, almost six times as many as the cruisers of the other three countries combined.

The armed escort of the combined fleet is a 'stage' to publicize military strength, and other countries have sent destroyers, frigates, etc. of several thousand tons, and you send a cruiser of more than 10,000 tons, isn't it a shudder?

Even Russia, which has cruisers, opposes the American proposal. Russia's economic strength is not comparable to that of the United States, and dispatching a cruiser is not a small burden for Russia's current economic conditions.

In the end, after fierce controversy, the dispatch ships were strictly limited to a displacement of more than 1000 tons and less than 8000 tons. This is tantamount to allowing only destroyers and frigates to participate in armed escorts. Of course, some countries have 'large missile boats', which can be allowed to participate as long as this only requirement is met.

...... "Are you saying that President Yusuf invited representatives of all the forces in the country to Mogadishu for a meeting?" The meeting was devoted to the discussion of the viable surnames for the formation of the Somali Defence Force. Li Mo looked at Chief of Staff Hussein and asked in surprise.

How could Yusuf bring up such a thing at such a time? Problems that the Somali Peace Conference could not solve, and he wants to solve them himself at home?

The formation of the Somali Defence Force is deceptively simple. In fact, the main problem is how to solve the problem of arming various local forces. The divergence is also here. In the case of a separate reconstitution of the Somali Defence Forces, the local forces will certainly have an indifferent attitude. You have the money, you can form it, anyway, there are a lot of poor people in Somalia, and you are not afraid that you will not be able to recruit soldiers. But if you want the local forces to hand over the lifeblood in their hands and form a national defense force, then there will be problems.

can become a local real power figure, which one did not come out of the 'sea of swords and fires', is it easy to lay a piece of the world? Wanting these people to hand over the biggest money in their hands is undoubtedly similar to killing them.

"Yes, the man sent by President Yusuf also brought one of his proposals for cooperation." Hussein smiled at the little girl beside the boss who had been staring at him before replying. But in my heart, I was thinking that the boss was really 'lustful' as everyone said in private.

But the boss's ability is really great, and after Lieutenant Colonel An Li, I didn't know where to find such a smart little girl.

If Li Mo knew that the subordinate in front of him with a serious face was thinking about this, he would definitely jump up and give him a punch.

Li Mo leaned back in his chair, considering the stakes of this matter. If it was before, before the United States attacked the headquarters of the Ming Cooking Army, Li Mo would definitely oppose it directly without thinking about it. He is a very possessive man, how could he possibly let his men become the 'Somali Defence Force'? Not even in name.

But since the sneak attack by the US special forces, Li Mo has felt more and more that the water in the world is too deep. Easy is the point of no return. At the rate at which the Star Organization is growing, it will take at least three years to fully establish itself in Somalia and even reach the point of being significant. And if you want to run Somalia into the backyard of the Star Organization, it will take more than five years or even more than ten years. This is absolutely unacceptable to Li Mo. Since his rebirth, in just four years, he has gone from a poor student who is 'penniless' to a bigwig with 10,000 armed members. has given him a taste of the sweetness of 'high-speed development', and he can't bear the long wait of several years and decades.

And Yusuf proposed the formation of the Somali Defence Force at such times. But it undoubtedly made Li Mo's eyes light up. If the Myocho Army can be integrated into the 'Somali Defence Force' in the name of legitimacy, it will be possible to obtain what it used to take many steps to obtain through the legal means of the political axe.

When the Paramingchu Army became the 'Somali Defence Force', it at least had a legal status and did not have to worry about some despicable and shameless sneak attacks. Attacking a non-political axe army and attacking a country's political axe army are two completely different things. The impact is also very different. Even if the United States wants to trouble the Paraming Army again, it will have to weigh the stakes involved.

Li Mo's silence made Hussein's heart very nervous. He knew that the boss was moved by President Yusuf's proposal.

What is this called, the organization has just completed its institutional reform, and Hussein has only enjoyed the feeling of 'being in power' for a few days, and if he joins the 'Somali Defense Force', he will definitely not be so comfortable and free.

"What does President Yusuf's cooperation mean?" Li Mo suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at Hussein and asked.

Hussein sat right in front of him, and the emotional changes in his heart were easily perceived through the magnetic field of mental power. When the Paramingchu Army joins the Somali Defence Forces, Hussein will definitely have to be subject to some constraints. It's normal for him to be nervous about it.

"The cooperation that President Yusuf brought is that as long as we support his Somali Defence Force program, we can choose one of the two positions in the future Somali Defence Force." Hussein was full of resentment towards Yusuf in his heart, but he didn't dare not answer Li Mo's question.

"Oh? Pick two positions? Which two locations? Li Mo suddenly became interested in what kind of price this President Yusuf was willing to pay in exchange for the support of the Paramin Army.

"The two positions of the commander of the Southern Military Region, one of the three major military regions of the Somali Defence Force, and the chief of the General Staff of the Somali Defence Forces." Hussein immediately replied honestly.

"Shhh No matter how much Li Mo guessed, he didn't expect Yu Sufu to pay such a big price. Needless to say, the commander of one of the three major military regions is a person who really holds military power. And the position of Chief of the General Staff is even more appealing. The chief of the general staff of the first team is equivalent to the number two person in the army. Even if some countries have established military decision-making and command organs, the chief of the general staff will certainly occupy an important position in this body.

"President Yusuf seems to have made up his mind to reorganize the warlords in the country. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come up with these two important positions for us to 'choose'," Li Mo said with a smile. Seeing that Hussein was still reluctant, Li Mo scolded with a smile, "Don't you want to be the chief of staff of the Somali Defense Forces?" What are you doing with a sad face? Even though the Paramingchu Army became the Somali Defence Force, he was still under our command. ”

"Boss, you've said so, and the other forces must be the same as us. What's the use of being a nominal Chief of the General Staff when the time comes? It's better to be the chief of staff of the Paramingchu Army. "Hussein was not stupid and was not lured by the position of 'Chief of the General Staff', and soon discovered something wrong.

"Hehe, you're right. We can think that other forces, even if they agree to form the Somali Defence Force, will not hand over military command. But at that time, they can't help it. As long as we have the nominal power of military mobilization, hum, with the ability of those local warlords, we still want to continue to be a soil emperor, how can there be such a good thing. Maybe there will be a 'counterinsurgency operation' at that time. Li Mo sneered, his tone full of murderous intent.

When the Paramingchu Army completes its mechanized reorganization, in the whole of Somalia, except for Somaliland in the north, which is a little tricky, the other local warlords are not worth mentioning at all. It was destined to take the initiative to hand over the military command in his hands under the strong military oppression of the Ming Cooking Army. Otherwise, as Li Mo said, a direct military strike. At that time, there was a legitimate excuse, and there was no room for outside interference. Because this is a 'housekeeping' affair for Somalia.

Hussein's eyes became brighter and brighter as he pondered the words. He also saw a viable surname for the matter. As long as he does his best, he may indeed be able to become the first chief of the General Staff of the new Somali Defence Force with real power.
