Volume IV Chapter 374 - Respective Statements
readx;
Ilcabre, a small town nestled at the foot of a mountain. This border town, which is thriving for border trade, has once again attracted the attention of many people since the outbreak www.biquge.info of armed conflict on the Soken border.
After the Garissa Mecha Infantry Regiment lifted martial law from the town. Many media reporters from all over the world, as well as some people with 'ulterior motives', have entered this town.
As the current de facto administrator of the town, the Garissa Mecha Infantry did not stop them at all. Except for the barracks across the mountain pass from the town, no idlers are allowed to walk around the town at will.
On this day, on the only road in the town leading to the outside world, a pickup truck drove up. This kind of pickup truck, which can seat four people and carry a ton of load, is popular in many countries in Africa. For a few hundred dollars, anyone can own a used pickup truck, and if you have the means, you can even get a pickup truck from an unknown source for less.
At this moment, the compartment behind the pickup truck is covered with a layer of canvas, and it can be seen from the bulging compartment that it is loaded with a lot of goods. In the small town of Ilcabre. In this way, many merchants bring goods from the big cities and sell them to all the people who need them in the small towns. This person may be a resident of the town, or he may be a nearby border guard. It is also possible that a businessman came from Somalia across the mountain pass.
After the white pickup enters the town, it drives along the only lateral street in the town. Stop in front of a grocery store around the corner.
Nearby pedestrians and townspeople are no stranger to this. Almost every week, a pickup truck is loaded from the 'far-flung city of Garissa to the grocery store). And this grocery store, which has changed owners for two years, is very famous in the neighborhood. Not because of anything else, but because the owner of this grocery store, is a Somali refugee. The 50-year-old Somali man, Kahle, is said to have fled to Kenya during the Somali civil war. Defection to a relative. Two years ago, with money from relatives, I bought this grocery store, which was not doing very well.
Old Calle saw the white pickup truck from the store and immediately opened his half-asleep eyes. The whole person jumped out from behind the counter at once. If anyone saw this scene, it would be incredible. Could that move be done by an old man in his fifties from Calle?
The four men who got out of the pickup truck saw Calle, and only one black man cracked his mouth and smiled with a mouth full of white teeth. The other three men quickly took a quick look at their surroundings when others were not paying attention, and then followed the black driver towards Calle.
The black driver said a few words to Calle, and the group went into the grocery store. After about five minutes, two people came out of the grocery store, but it was a black driver and Calle. They walked to the back of the pickup cart and began to unload the goods, while the other three who had entered earlier were nowhere to be seen. It's never been like that.
"Tonight, Blackskin and I will go to inspect the barracks, and the third son, you will go around the town and follow the topographical map provided by Calle to survey the militia in the town. We're here before two o'clock. Whether you complete the mission or not, be sure to come back here before two o'clock. Do you understand? In the darkness, a muffled voice was heard. It should be a young man to listen to the voice.
"Understood!" The two deliberately lowered voices replied firmly.
...... "Xinhua News Agency reporter An Xiao? The fox looked at the woman in front of him who was from the same country as the boss. Slightly surprised, asked.
She felt it was too much of a coincidence. One of the two people who came here for an interview was from Huaxia.
"I wonder what you want to know, two? If you can answer, I will tell you! The fox's charming eyes narrowed, and he asked with a smile. Maybe it was because she was tortured by a man just now, and she still feels weak. So the whole person leaned on the sofa very casually, looking a little lazy.
She didn't know that this scene was seen by the puzzled Clara, and her heart was more and more sure of her previous guess. Could it be that this woman is the mistress of a certain high-ranking person in the Paramin Cooking Army? It must be like this, otherwise how could she, a Western woman, become a lieutenant colonel officer in the Paramingchu Army. It's not the kind of name that is in vain. Otherwise, the top management of the Ming Cooking Army would not have let her come for an interview.
Clara, who thinks about it, can't help but guess. This Lieutenant Colonel An Li. Just now he was lying under a black man, tactfully acknowledging his joy. An unnatural crimson immediately flashed across Clara's face.
"Lieutenant Colonel An Li, do you have anything to say about the armed conflict between you and the Kenyan border guards? For example, the reason for this firefight, and what you plan to do next, etc.! An Xiao glanced at Clara, who was in a daze, and asked helplessly first. In my heart, I was wondering if Clara was scared stupid.
The fox's eyes flickered. Ying Ying looked at An Xiao and said with a smile, "The main responsibility for the accidental exchange of fire between the Ming Cooking Army and the Kenyan border guards this time lies on the Kenyan side. As a Somali caste organization. The Ming Cook Army has always pursued the principle of not taking the initiative to provoke any disputes. It has always been our goal to restore peace to Somalia and to bring the Somali people back to a happy life. In the two years since its establishment, the Ming Boiler Army has done a lot of practical things for the Somali people in Lower Juba Prefecture. Originally, we were planning to open 30 public schools throughout Lower Juba Prefecture so that children could re-enter the classroom and learn. But all of this was ruined by this sudden conflict......"
The fox talked eloquently in front of the two reporters, but did not directly answer An Xiao's questions, but kept publicizing the various contributions made by the Ming Cooking Army. This made An Xiao a little disappointed and excited at the same time.
A caste organization is providing better living conditions for the Somali people and is preparing to develop education vigorously. It's also a great news topic. After all, when everyone mentions non-political axe armed groups in Africa, the first thing that comes to mind is the war and chaos, grabbing land and resources. In short, it represents violence and blood. But this kind of behavior of the Paraming Cooking Army is unique. It will definitely attract the attention of many people.
Although the recording was turned on, An Xiao quickly jotted down the main content in his notebook. And Clara, who gradually came back to her senses on the side, also hurriedly took out her notebook and wrote down what the fox said.
"Lieutenant Colonel An Li, just this morning, Kenya Political Axe held a press conference, at which the Kenyan Minister of State for Provincial Administration and National Security, Mulun Garu, pointed out that this armed conflict was caused by the fact that you opened fire first when the Kenyan border guards were arresting illegal armed elements. Do you agree with that? "Clara is also a good journalist. After letting go of the reverie in his heart, he also regained the attitude and calmness that a journalist should have.
An Li was stunned when she heard this, she really didn't know about the press conference held by the Kenyan political axe. After all, the intelligence of the Star Organization is not so strong. For the time being, it will only radiate to southern Somalia.
"Giggles, arrest illegal militants? Is this really the statement of the Kenyan political axe? An Li unconsciously pressed her left hand on a crisp chest in front of her chest, leaning on the sofa and laughing. This reason really made her laugh. She never realized that people can be shameless to this point. It's all nonsense with your eyes open.
An Xiao and Clara glanced at each other, judging from An Li's reaction, there must be an inside story in it. A flash of surprise flashed in their eyes at the same time. This is definitely sensational news.
Originally, the boss's order was not to disclose the details of the conflict until the dispute was handled. But that man named Mulungaru lied and deceived the world, and I really couldn't stand it. Especially when they slander our Ming Cook Army like this. Makes me feel angry! An Li held back a smile and said with an angry look on her face.
"As for the cause of this conflict, the fact is that the Kenyan border guards randomly shot and killed our returning refugee compatriots, which caused resentment among the soldiers stationed at the border of the Ming Cook Army. This is the main cause of armed conflicts! An Li said with a small fist waving with a face full of 'no anger'.
It really seemed to be irritated by the attitude and explanations of the Kenyan political axe.
An Xiao and Clara were full of excitement to record these exclusive news. They could all have predicted that these contents would cause a lot of sensation when they were published. At the very least, the Kenyan political axe's act of lying before the conflict is resolved will definitely cause dissatisfaction and ridicule from many people. It can even be counted as a political scandal.
"Lieutenant Colonel An Li, two days have passed since the exchange of fire, why haven't you and the Kenyan political axe taken remedial measures? What I'm saying is that you don't seem to be reacting to that. How do you think about it? An Xiao then asked.
It is said that after such an 'accidental firefight' occurs, the two sides should immediately send people to investigate and find out, and then report to the people and the outside world. However, in the two days since the exchange of fire, neither the Ming Cooking Army nor the Kenyan Political Axe has elaborated on this. And Kenya's political axe was also a press conference held today.
"This is all due to the reluctance of the Kenyan government to negotiate with us on this matter. After the exchange of fire, the chief of staff of the Ming Cooking Army, Colonel Hussein, rushed to the border as soon as possible and offered to negotiate with the commander of the Kenyan border guards. But the other party rejected our proposal. Not only that, but the Kenyan political axe also sent their elite infantry regiment to reinforce the border, causing us a lot of military pressure. We would like to express our strongest protest against the despicable act of the Kenyan political axe, which has not been sincere in resolving the armed conflict, but has instead used military force to oppress our side. As a Somali local caste organization, we have the ability and responsibility to respond forcefully to any attempt to achieve its ulterior motives by military force. Although the Ming Boiled Army has only been established for two years and its power is weak, it will not compromise with any hegemonic force in protecting its territory and the integrity of national sovereignty......"
Although An Li's tone was very soft, it was very comfortable to listen to. But both An Xiao and Clara heard the horn of war blowing. The two didn't expect the female lieutenant colonel in front of them to be so tough. If these words really represent the attitude of the Ming Cooking Army. Then the expansion of the conflict this time and even the prominence of war are already to be expected.
However, all this has nothing to do with the two of them. Although they do not want war, they are not in a position to stop it. Therefore, how to publish these exclusive materials as soon as possible is what they are considering now.
After the interview, An Xiao and Clara refused An Li's offer. They didn't have the slightest intention of staying, so they couldn't wait to fly back immediately to sort out the information and send it back to the headquarters for publication.
Out of the reception room, An Xiao inadvertently raised his head and suddenly saw two people getting off a jeep. The eyes widened.
