In the southern urban area of Mogadishu, a café caters to foreign Somalis and a small number of Somali elites. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

James? Lee had been waiting in the corner of the café for five minutes, and from the way he kept looking at his watch, James seemed to be in a hurry.

As the newly appointed head of the CIA Somalia, James? The moment Lee received his appointment from home, he knew he was on a tricky task. Hayden's intelligence work in Somalia was originally in charge of it, but for a long time, the CIA's inaction on the Somali issue has led to great dissatisfaction with its ability to work, and it has been recalled and sent James, who has a 'hard work'? Lee Lai holds this very important position in the eyes of American politicians.

In the eyes of American political axes, Hayden? Wilson has the ability to work, but he is too steady and conservative. To put it vulgarly, it is to be rigid in thinking without enterprising. And James? Lee had worked in the 'tough' conditions of Afghanistan and provided much intelligence on Afghan guerrillas and al-Qaeda, which was appreciated by the CIA headquarters.

Hayden? Wilson's inaction made the US political axe and the top intelligence leaders realize that the intelligence gathering in Somalia needs to be handled by an experienced and pioneering intelligence officer.

James? Under such circumstances, Lee was recalled from Afghanistan, and after listening to the teachings of the country's top leaders, he secretly rushed to Somalia. After Wilson's secret handover, he became the head of the CIA in Somalia.

At first, James didn't take the mission too seriously. Because in his opinion, the situation in Somalia is serious, and no matter how difficult the intelligence work is, it is not as good as Afghanistan. In Afghanistan, the American political axe has played a dishonorable role after all. The point is that he is entrenched in Afghanistan as an 'aggressor', and the current political axe in northern Afghanistan can be described as humble and flattering to the United States, but in the eyes of ordinary people, there are many people who are full of hostility and even hatred towards the United States.

Compared to Afghanistan, Somalia is a paradise.

But James is spending a month bringing Hayden? After a closer look at the Somali information left by Wilson, it became clear why the work of his predecessor Hayden had difficulty achieving a substantive effect. Because from the beginning, Hayden? Wilson made the mistake of choosing a pig-like 'ally' and creating a 'strong' enemy.

Somalia is geographically important, adjacent to the Gulf of Aden and close to the world's oil center. It has a deterrent effect on oil transportation in the Middle East and the sea routes in the Gulf of Aden. Controlling this is very important for the global strategy of the United States.

But for the United States, it is currently impossible to use force to eliminate the Somali regime and prop up a pro-American regime. As a result, the attitude of the US political axe toward Somalia is limited to political diplomacy and internal counter-infiltration.

Judging from the history of the Chinese who mastered the Somali army, as early as 03 years, in the primeval jungle under the camel mountain, which is still very mysterious to the outside world, the 'Chinese commander' secretly established a base. And although Hayden didn't find out too early, the strength of the 'Chinese commander' at that time must have been very weak, Hayden? Wilson's most important mistake happened at this time. Shouldn't you support the leader of the Palaminke Army, More? Para's seizure of power.

At the time, Hayden? Wilson should have been fully aware of the impact of a 'Chinese arm' on Somalia. Wilson could either muster all the forces at his disposal to destroy the newborn Chinese forces, or he could stand still and wait. But at this time, Hayden rebelled against Moore, who was controlled by the Chinese commander? Parra, which led to the hostility of this Chinese commander towards the United States.

The so-called wrong step, wrong step, against Mohr? Parra's operation failed, and relations between the two sides gradually deteriorated to the point of no return. In particular, the raid of the Marine Corps reconnaissance battalion later caused an irresolvable contradiction between the two sides.

The United States has a bad reputation in Somalia because of its military operations in the 90s, which is a factor that makes it difficult for the CIA to carry out its work; However, at that time, Somalia was in a state of no political axe, local armed warlords were fighting their own wars, and the United States, due to various factors, did not make up its mind to seize the opportunity of the Somali civil war, whether it was to support proxies or direct military intervention, and a series of problems would not occur later.

Missed opportunity and can't be reversed, Hayden? Wilson's actions led to a deterioration of hostility with the Chinese commanders, who now have taken control of Somalia and suppressed U.S. operations in Somalia in all areas. And the CIA is the most important of this.

James gets a headache when he thinks about the plight the C.I.A. faces in Somalia. In Afghanistan, although the CIA faces many problems, one thing that is beneficial to the CIA is the use of military support. The CIA can get support from U.S. forces in Afghanistan at any time. Moreover, because of the presence of US troops in Afghanistan, many Afghans who are 'aware of current affairs' have 'spontaneously enthusiastic' provided intelligence to the CIA, while in Somalia, it is impossible to obtain military support, and the US political axe has no intention of intervening militarily in Somalia at present.

Without the support of force, some Somalis in key positions will not take the initiative to 'cooperate' with the CIA. The Chinese commander has never been merciful. In other African countries, the vast majority of war coups rarely resort to violence against the top brass on both sides, either by deportation or detention as a 'political prisoner', and the Chinese commander is clearly more willing to use physical means of extermination, knowing that there are any forces and people in the country who can threaten him.

After several 'purges,' the top leaders of the Somali military and political circles are either cronies of the Chinese commanders, or some puppets with no real role. James no longer expects to co-opt the higher-ups. The fate of Kenya and Commissioner Hash has made the Somali top brass feel the fear from the bottom of their hearts that once they cooperate with the United States, they will either die at the hands of the Americans or at the hands of the Chinese commanders.

The people at the top will not be able to rebel, and the people at the bottom will not rise up against the political axe because of the recovery of the Somali economy in the past two years, and their living standards have gradually improved. According to James's understanding, because the Chinese commander contributed to peace in Somalia, ordinary people were not dissatisfied with a Chinese serving as a deputy commander.

In James's eyes, Somalia has been run like an iron bucket by the Chinese. Unless it is forcibly broken by force, the CIA can only become a department specializing in intelligence exploration, and it will not be able to play its special role in instigating rebellion and subversion.

Today, James made an appointment with someone, and he knew that for the time being, the CIA's job was to spy on intelligence, and this work did not need his command at all, and the intelligence officers below would also work hard to complete it. And the person who came in the appointment, if he could play a role, might be helpful to his mission.

Just then, three black men dressed in light walked into the café. Although the three black men were all wearing white shirts and shiny leather shoes, trying their best to pretend to be gentlemen, some of the people in the café still showed a hint of disdain on their lips.

Mu monkey and crown! If someone knows a lot about Chinese culture, they will think of an idiom to describe these three black people.

The black man at the head seems to be the leader of the three. Compared with the two people in the back, there is an extra ...... A fierce breath.

As if sensing the malicious gaze in the café, the three of them swept away the fierce gaze, and many of them were frightened by the murderous and threatening eyes and lowered their heads.

The three who were satisfied with their deterrent power suddenly saw James in the corner? Lee, with a happy face, didn't care about the others, and walked straight towards James.

"Are you Mr. James, please?" The black man at the head sat down directly in the chair and looked at James? Lee asked.

James now regrets a little, how could he think of meeting each other here. Despite the threat of three black men, James was sensitive enough to find a few strange glances looking at him. It seems to be puzzled how a Western gentleman can have such a vicious friend who does not seem to be a good person? Could it be that this man (James) is also a bad guy in a glossy cloak?

But when you think about your mission, James? Lee nodded and smiled, "I'm James?" Lee, are you from the North Sea? ”

"Hmmm! Came yesterday and went to a friend's place, so I was late. The black man at the head said after taking the coffee that had cooled on the table and drinking it like boiled water. Smacked his lips, as if he was a little unsatisfied, and asked someone to bring another glass.

Fortunately, James is an intelligence officer and can completely ignore the other party's vulgar behavior. Now everything is for the task, for the good of the United States.

"Friends? Do you still have friends in Mogadishu? James keenly grasped a detail in the other party's words, and immediately asked suspiciously.

James knows what the other party is, and it is very doubtful that such a person has friends here in Mogadishu. With the suppression of the New Deal axe, the forces in the darkness of the capital Mogadishu fled to their deaths. The rest of the part has also been washed and transformed into a 'serious person'.

"Of course, he's my brother, and he grew up in a village." The black man didn't deny it either, nodding and saying.

James stirred the coffee spoon as he wondered if the news would be useful to him.

"Don't beat his idea. He is now a serious businessman, and I will not allow you to ruin his life. The black man seemed to see James's thoughts, and lowered his voice and said viciously. He embarked on this road on his own, and there was no turning back, and it was not a problem to serve anyone, as long as he could live freely. But he had a deep affection for her friend, and he would never allow these people to beat his friend's idea, because he knew that once he got on the boat, his friend would be in danger, and if he was not careful, he would die.
