Volume 5 Chapter 524 Farewell to the Old and Welcome to the New
readx;
The selection of the Minister of Defense has finally come to an end in the fierce competition; With the support of Chief of Staff Hussein, the post of Minister of Defense finally fell to Palermo, and the first candidate to be selected, the commander of the Northern Military District, Moos, was promoted to the post of Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Wehrmacht, with the rank of Major General. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The commander of the Northern Military District was Colonel Saleh, the former commander of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Brigade, and his rank was accordingly promoted to brigadier general, while the post of commander of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Brigade was held by Colonel Awei, deputy commander of the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Brigade.
The whole process of transfer can be described as a promotion transfer within the Paramingchu Army. The other committee members were dissatisfied and had nothing to do about it.
However, no matter what kind of dissatisfaction some members have, apart from Hussein's side, which has basically achieved its goal, President Yusuf's side is also very satisfied, and the post of defense minister has finally been included in the bag. Although there are no more cronies in the upper echelons of the military, Palermo's power has changed dramatically from a 'civilian commissioner' to a concurrently defence minister. As a close confidant of Hash, the commander of the Northern Military District, Moos, has changed from the commander of the large military region to the deputy chief of the general staff, and the change in power is a matter of opinion, but the General Staff does not have a deputy minister except for Hussein, the chief of staff, and the previous work was handled by several assistants appointed by the chief of staff Hussein. As a result, Hash was satisfied with the outcome of the meeting, but he also understood that Moose had left the Northern Military Region, and his influence in northern Somalia and the main Puntland region would be further reduced. However, the strength is not good, it is impossible to cover everything, and the current situation is already very optimistic.
The only one who slammed the door after the meeting was the commander of the Capital Military District, Adam. This person who was the most 'active' in the meeting, except for Commissioner Awei, did not even get a hair in the end, and the anger and depression in his heart can be imagined. But at this moment, no one sympathized with him and comforted him. Because his clumsy performance in the meeting has made people see its essence clearly, there will always be a trace of disgust in his heart.
Adamu returned to his quarters at the headquarters and vented again. It wasn't until the maid came to report that he went to the bathroom to wash up.
Returning to the living room, Adam saw a man sitting on the couch. The person who came was wearing a long robe, revealing a sallow face, and coughing violently twice from time to time, and at a glance he knew that this person was seriously ill.
"Chief, are the results out?" The sick man asked, standing up. He didn't know exactly what was going on at the National Defense Council meeting, but he knew that before Adam attended the meeting, he was going to nominate a former MPLA officer to be the deputy commander of an infantry brigade under the Capital Military District. This is the first time that Adamu has decided to train his own people after taking office as the commander of the Capital Military Region, so it has attracted the attention of the top brass within the original Patriotic Movement Organization, because once this step has been crossed, it proves that the Patriotic Movement Organization has truly gained a foothold under the powerful oppression of the Paramingchu Army.
The meeting lasted nearly four hours, and in the regular national defense meeting once a month, only once or twice would it be held for so long, and every time something very serious happened. In the slightly urgent eyes of the sick man, his concern was also explained.
"No, I didn't mention it at all!" Adamu's face was ugly at the thought of this, and after motioning for the other party to sit down, he snorted unhappily.
"Ahem...... Boss, something happened? The sick man covered his mouth with his wide sleeve and coughed, only then did he ask with wide eyes in surprise.
Adamu nodded slightly, and told the scene that happened at the meeting. The man in front of him can be said to be his true ally. Although both were leaders of their respective tribes, the sick man was basically led by Adamu, which was the case in the previous Philharmonic organization.
The sick man listened to Adam's story with a solemn face, and muttered for a long time before he sighed helplessly, "Chief, I'm afraid that this time it's not that you are too eager to arouse the vigilance over there!" ”
Adam was able to succeed Kenya as commander of the capital military district, although because other committee members did not want to see Hussein's family make constraints, but the situation was clearly different then than now. At that time, everyone still had a long and short idea of the same as Hussein, but now although this idea exists, it is hidden by everyone very deeply, and no one will be stupid to expose it and attract the blow of Hussein's family before the time.
Having assumed the important position of commander of the Capital Military District, Adamu showed his desire for the Minister of Defense, and this ambition would of course arouse the defense of Hussein's faction and other factions, and the result was self-evident, and it was certainly not beneficial at all.
"Yes, after returning here just now to vent, I also noticed that my cash in the meeting was too eye-catching, and the ancient Chinese saying shot the first bird. Although Hussein voluntarily relinquished some of his power, he firmly controlled the pace of the military aspect, and anyone who went too far would inevitably attract a counterattack from the other side. And I didn't get anything this time, needless to say, the main reason is to make the other committee members vigilant! "Adam is not a simple-minded person, otherwise he would not have been able to develop the Patriotic Movement Organization into a first-class force, and it is also under the checks and balances of the other three tribes internally.
Finding out the cause doesn't mean it's going to solve it. What the two are worried about now is not that they will not get a little benefit, but how to remove the vigilance in the hearts of others, especially Hussein, otherwise it would be a dream for them to gain a foothold in the army.
"Chief, I don't think it's a group of people over there who only care about power and ignore their duties, and we still have a chance to win the favor of the other party again." The sick man couldn't help but comfort Adam when he saw Adam's depressed appearance, "Chief, don't forget that we have some friendship with that side behind our back!" Moreover, we can also make some achievements to let the other party see our sincerity! ”
Adam's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "Tell me quickly...... What he is thinking about now is how to make the Paraming's army let down his vigilance, and even get the support of the other party, after this meeting, he finally realized that it is very difficult to gain a foothold in the army outside the Paramingchu army. Of course, he didn't think of using other methods to push the Paraming's army off the cliff, in addition to the awe-inspiring strength displayed by the Paraming's army, the forces behind him also clearly told him that the Paraming's army was not to be provoked. In the past, he was still a little disdainful, but now he can feel the strength of the Paraminghao Army, but now he will not know that the Iranian side's admonition is not because the Paraminghao army is powerful, but because of the fact that the Paraminghao Army is not only strong, but also has the only ultimate weapon in Africa.
"Chief, I recently received information that more than a year ago, Amin, the leader of the Islamic militant group Al-Shabaab, which was jointly exterminated by the Palamin Army and President Yusuf, secretly returned to Somalia...... "The sick man said in a low voice.
Adam's expression was startled at first, then he showed joy, and nodded again and again before letting out a smug laugh.
……
"Haha, Brother Li, my brother has really come to take refuge with you this time, and if you eat meat or drink soup in the future, you will rely on your support, brother!" In the chairman's office at the headquarters of Somali Star Industries Group in Kismayo, there was a slightly restrained voice.
"Brother Fang, Brother Xiong, you are here, can I not help, brother? In the future, everyone will develop together and make a fortune together......" Although Li Mo felt this, he didn't say much, and waved his hand again and again. Fang Sihai and Xiong Hai, two Shanghai gangsters, finally gave up their careers in Shanghai after the end of New Year's Day in 07, disbanded the gang and came to Somalia with some henchmen and all their property, and defected to Li Mo.
Compared with when they were in Shanghai before, it is normal for the two of them to feel a little restrained when facing Li Mo at this time, after all, this is Africa and Somalia. The two of them are not familiar with each other, and if they want to live in peace and make a fortune, they have to count on Li Mo, the 'local boss', to support and help. In fact, if it weren't for the increasingly difficult domestic gangsters and the country's crackdowns becoming more and more severe, they would not have given up being a carefree 'soil emperor' in Shanghai, and went all the way to Africa to send people under the fence.
Fortunately, the two of them also figured out Li Mo's surname, and he is not the kind of character who eats people and does not spit out bones. I still haven't said anything about treating my friends, the two of them don't talk about getting rich overnight here, at least it is absolutely okay to maintain their current net worth for the rest of their lives.
took out a pack of cigarettes, took out two and handed them to the two, and lit one himself, Li Mocai said, "Two big brothers; What are your plans for coming here? Do you have any ideas for yourselves? "To be honest in business, Li Mo really doesn't understand, at the beginning, in China, the two small enterprises he opened were also prescient, and the later management development was not done by him. In Somalia, he is engaged in the arms industry, and other activities such as mineral development are all based on strong military force, and they are a kind of monopoly trading.
Fang Sihai and Xiong Hai glanced at each other, and Fang Sihai replied, "Brother Li, we also carefully learned about Somalia's resources and environment before coming. I'm going to do my old job! ”
"The old business?" Li Mo muttered, he knew what the two of them were doing; When Fang Sihai was in Shanghai, in addition to the entertainment industry, he was involved in real estate. However, there is currently no environment for real estate development in Somalia, and many people here are below the poverty line, and it is difficult to sell their houses even if they have built them. The entertainment industry is similar to real estate, and Somalia does not yet have the internal environment for these industries. That is, the people's living standards have not yet reached that level of consumption. However, this does not mean that Somalia does not have an entertainment industry and a real estate industry, after all, no matter how poor and backward a place is, there are rich people. Somalia also has a number of larger cities and some elites with spending power.
"Brother Fang, you also know the situation here in Somalia, and it is impossible to make a fortune in the real estate industry like in China. However, there is still something to be done by setting up a construction company, and now the political axe side is vigorously building infrastructure, and the military is also going to do a large-scale defense infrastructure construction. If Brother Fang can set up a powerful construction company, he won't have to worry about having no business! Li Mo's words are both a reminder and a guarantee. The infrastructure construction of the political axe and the construction of the military's national defense infrastructure can be said to be coveted by all construction enterprises.
