The 1st Armoured Brigade of the Capital Military Region is located in the south-west of Mogadishu, 10 km from the city and 12 km from Mogadishu International Airport. www.biquge.info The 1st Armoured Brigade is the only brigade-sized unit in Mogadishu and is not only responsible for defending the capital, but also as the strategic general reserve of the National Defence Force.

On the afternoon of 12 July, Somali President Youssef, Deputy Commander of the Three Armed Forces, Major General Li Mo, Chief of the General Staff of the National Defense Forces, Major General Hussein, Minister of National Defense, Major General Palermo, and other senior military and political officials visited the station of the First Armored Brigade to attend the acceptance ceremony of the first batch of four 'Defender' third-generation main battle tanks.

At 1:30 p.m., with a low roar, thousands of people on the training ground could feel the shaking of the ground. Countless eyes looked at the entrance of the training ground at the same time.

In anticipation, a slightly raised black hole first appeared in sight, and then a desert camouflage tank, which looked lower and 'thinner' than the world's most advanced main battle tanks, drove into the gate of the training ground under the propulsion of a powerful engine.

A ...... Two ...... Four, the accompanying reporters of the Somali newspaper and the National Defense Forces newspaper, pressed the shutter of the camera that had been raised long ago, and photographed the steel chariot that gathered the top technology of Somalia.

The four 'Defender' tanks entered the training ground and did not stop immediately, but circled around the training ground at a speed of 25 kilometers per hour, allowing thousands of people to watch its bravery from all directions.

Although the president and senior military officials were here, more than 2,000 officers and men of the 1st Armored Brigade still rushed to the tanks irrepressibly. As an armored soldier, no one is more interested and curious about a powerful tank than these people.

"Seeing these energetic and passionate soldiers, I believe that Somalia is also invincible!" You Sufu looked at Li Mo on the side with a smile and sighed. There was a sense of heroic twilight in his tone. But more than that, it is the joy from the heart, the head of a country, a patriot who has changed from a warlord politician to a patriot, and the mixed thoughts and emotional changes in it are difficult for outsiders to feel.

Li Mo smiled and said, "Yes, Somalia has never lacked good soldiers, but there is a lack of qualified leaders. When someone comes forward at a critical time, the Somalis are not inferior and are no longer the 'inferior people' who are called 'indigenous Africans'. ”

Most of the peoples of the continent can be described as 'ignorant', but they cannot ignore their potential and strength. It can be said that this era is the era of great changes in Africa, and the ideas and trends from the 'civilized world' will carry out a brave invasion of the African continent, and some nations will find what they need from it, and gradually become a force to be reckoned with in the world.

Li Mo knows that his rebirth has not only changed himself and a few people around him, but has affected countless people. The instigation of a small butterfly's wings has a huge impact on the world. Some can be seen now, some later.

It is precisely because I know the outcome of Somalia in the future that I can immerse myself in emotions and understand the ups and downs of this nation. can

But all this has changed, and in his own hands and with his own efforts, he has changed a country and a nation. What could be more exciting in the world than this kind of hand-crafted creation of a hopeful and vibrant nation?

Noticing the smugness at the corner of Li Mo's mouth, You Sufu was slightly stunned, smiled and shook his head slightly. He thought that Li Mo was proud that the First Armored Brigade was formed by the backbone of the original Paramingchu Army. But I didn't know that in Li Mo's heart, he was thinking more and farther.

In front of the 12 armoured soldiers who were about to make a long march from the town of Badada in tanks to the camp, President Yusuf said some words of encouragement and appreciation to them. Then, in front of more than 2,000 officers and soldiers, he made an enthusiastic speech.

That night, Somali State Television and State Radio simultaneously publicly reported on the afternoon's acceptance ceremony. This is the first time that the Somali political axe has acknowledged to the outside world the news of the development of a new tank, and with the permission of the presidential office, the military and the press department, the 'Defender' tank has been put on the silver screen, solemnly declaring to the world that some of Somalia's achievements in the development of military technology have reached the world's advanced level.

The secret of the Shikoku R&D Center in Batada Town, which has been valued by various countries and the outside world, was finally voluntarily disclosed at this moment.

The political axe, military and intelligence departments of various countries have special people to watch the live broadcast or broadcast, and many countries have recruited tank design experts and armored force officials to conduct a preliminary surname analysis of the 'Defender' tank.

"This is a third-generation main battle tank? Can it be similar to the M1A2 surname? no…… The surname of this 'light tank' can be far less excellent than the Somali political axe...... "Some experts from Somalia's economic strength to Iran's military technology, from the 'Defender' tank research and development time and the total weight of the tank calculated from the shape of the tank...... step by step analysis of this tank's surname can not be compared with the current military powers of the three generations of main battle tanks, many experts even threatened that this 'Defender' tank is a 'flash bomb' made by the four countries, and some people even will' The Defenders' tank and the Riyadh talks were linked to the 'Third OECD Four's decision to show the United States and other countries its uncompromising determination with a tank that could not be used.

It's a gimmick, a funny clown show. That's what many people think!

However, some countries immediately ordered that all the information on the 'Defender' tank must be obtained. These countries all know from various sources that Xingchen Group has discovered a new alloy and link the two together.

Among these countries and organizations, if there is one country that is sure of the strength of the 'Defender' tank, it is China.

Because Huaxia has samples and data of silicon-uranium alloys in its hands, and the first batch of secretly purchased alloys is now on a certain route in the Indian Ocean.

James, who also received orders from home? Li scolded Xie Te. In his opinion, it is very difficult to obtain data on the 'Defender' tank from Somalia, so it is better to wait for Iran to equip this tank and spy on this information in Iranian countries.

In Somalia, the movement of the Americans is too restricted. Although the Somali political axe has done a good job in this regard, only when I come to Somalia and take a closer look can I find that in Somalia, the people here are very unfriendly to the Americans, and the British originally had a higher status here and could be implicated by the Americans, but now the British are not very well treated locally.

Which leads to James? Not only does Lee find his job tricky, but occasionally he gets dissatisfaction from his peers, MI6.

Compared with the CIA, MI6 has much more power in Somalia. In the 19th century, northern Somalia was a British colony, and Britain colonized it for centuries and had a deep entrenchment. Although the power of Britain has weakened a lot since Somalia was read, it is much stronger than that of the United States, an 'upstart'. Not to mention that the Americans have done several unpopular things in Somalia.

The image of Americans in Somalia is 'evil'. James thought about it all night and decided to report it to his superiors, hoping that the superiors would contact the British political axe, so that the CIA and MI6 would 'cooperate more' in Somalia to strengthen intelligence exchange and information sharing in the region.

Although the United States and Britain cooperate frequently in the intelligence services, it is only on the premise that their interests are aligned. In Somalia, although the current political axe is relatively friendly and close to China, it still has a friendly attitude towards Britain, the former suzerain. Britain's interests in Somalia have not been affected by much, but have expanded considerably because of Lemo Lermo's balancing policy.

In the office, Li Mo was listening to Wang Ning's report. After the 'Defender' tank was revealed, it became clear to Li Mo that Somalia would once again become a place where intelligence services of various countries would be active. However, fortunately, the focus of international attention is still on Iraq and the Middle East, and the extent to which Somalia is 'peeping' from the outside world is still relatively light.

"The foreign intelligence agents that we currently have are frequently deployed, and their main target is not the industrial park in the town of Batada, where we are most heavily defended. These agents have converged on Mogadishu in an attempt to bribe the officers and men of the 1st Armored Brigade......"

Li Mo frowned slightly, and then soothed, "For these people, you just need to monitor them, buy and win them and go with them." There is nothing to keep secret about the tanks of the 'Defenders', and if it weren't for the fact that all the Iranian countries have asked for the tank's surname data to be kept secret, I would have wanted to make it all public. You must know that the 'Defender' tank is the main product of Xingchen Company, how to sell it if it is hidden? ”

Wang Ning nodded and wrote down Li Mo's instructions, and then asked, "Boss, what if there are really officers and soldiers who are bribed?" Although it doesn't matter if the tank's surname can be revealed, an officer and soldier who is bribed by foreign intelligence agents is a danger to the troops. ”

"Hmph, since you dare to collect money, you have the consciousness of going to a military court. But if there are traitors, keep them under surveillance, and then we'll use this opportunity to get more interest in the Defenders. ”

Even if foreign agents obtain the data of the 'Defender' tank through underhanded means, the officers and men of the 1st Armored Brigade tell the truth, do they believe it? As the outside media and some military commentators have said, the 'Defender' tank is just a makeover from the T-72, and its practical surname is questionable. In this current of thought, it is really difficult to convince the political axes of various countries that the real names of the information obtained by the agents are true.

However, Li Mo believes that only by making trouble for a while will the reputation of the 'Defender' tank be hit. A free publicity is not something that everyone can get.
