readx;
On the waterfront at the southern end of Tel Aviv, Israel, there is a small brown building that gives people a lonely feeling and looks quite old, and those who are familiar with this place know that this small brown building is the famous Mossad headquarters.

The Mossad, one of the world's four major intelligence agencies, has grown up in a very mysterious and legendary way, and even in today's international intelligence community, many intelligence agencies have existed for a longer time or are much longer and larger than it, but when it comes to the word "legendary", the Mossad can be said to be the most qualified.
Founded on April Fool's Day in 1951, the Mossad has made many remarkable achievements in the Arab battlefield in the Middle East for decades, but what is hidden in it is a lot of 'unbearable' past.
Its growth can be divided into four stages, each of which is different in the Mossad's overall habits of thinking and behavior.
In particular, the first 'Prince of Spies' stage and the third 'extremist ideology' stage, one is the achievement of the Mossad, and the other is an important reason for the Mossad to be in the real intelligence community.
After these twists and turns in the 'growth history', the Mossad is gradually losing the prestige laid down by the older generation, and because it is seriously affected by the third stage, another Likud hawk Mel? Under Dagan, the Mossad even had a tendency to go back to the third phase of the '80s.
Political assassination has to be said to be a taboo thing in the intelligence community, but for today's Mossad, this method is an effective way to resolve conflicts of interest, when the strength of both sides is equal, political assassination can solve many troubles, and even reverse some unfavorable situations.
Deep in the Mossad headquarters, in a slightly dimly lit room, the dim light still flickered. A somewhat balding man dressed in black was standing in the middle of the office with a cane, his eyes fixed in one direction.
There, on the wall behind the desk, there is an enlarged photograph of an SS officer pointing a pistol at an elderly Jew. Those who are familiar with this photo know that the old Jewish man in the photo is the grandfather of the man in the office, and the man on crutches is the current boss of the Mossad: Mel? Dagan.
Mel? Born in 1945, Dagan entered the Israeli paratrooper at the age of 18, and retired in 1995, he served in the Israeli army for more than 33 years, participated in many Arab-Israeli conflicts such as the Six Wars, and decades of military career, especially for Israel, is equivalent to an important period based on the Middle East. Dagan's tenacious nerves and tough and domineering style.
In the Middle East, Israel has no rivals. An Israeli tank platoon is able to withstand an Arab battalion, and the Israeli army is able to defeat three times the Arab army...... These are the reasons why Dagan is able to deal with those Israeli threats strongly.
Israel is strong, so the Mossad has nothing to fear.
What is the reason for such a character that makes him look gloomy at this time...... Still a little hesitant?
The reason for this was a secret piece of information received last night, that an operation he had been planning for a long time had failed, and that several excellent Mossad agents had paid with their lives. Originally, as an Israeli intelligence officer, on the day he entered the Mossad, he was prepared to sacrifice for his country, and not every time, Mossad agents had the opportunity to return home in the form of 'man for man'. Several agents were killed, but importantly, the failure of the operation cast a shadow over Dargan's heart.
As an intelligence chief, he knows all too well how repercussive such a political assassination would be, not only in terms of the negative impact on Israel's political axe and the Mossad, but also in the possibility of triggering more aggressive retaliatory actions against the targets of the operation, thus messing up the regional political situation.
Once the two countries send elite personnel to assassinate each other's military and political leaders without any scruples, it is definitely not the two countries that will be affected.
Originally, Dagan had already calculated that as long as the operation was successful and the target died, Somalia would lose Li Mo, the Chinese commander, even if he knew that Israel did it, but under the pressure at home and abroad, there would not be much backlash, because of Li Mo's existence, Somalia presented a peaceful scene, and without Li Mo's strong suppression, the bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods in Somalia would definitely emerge one after another. And without the tough leader of Li Mo, will the Somali successor have the courage to retaliate against Israel?
Busy fighting for the power gap left by Li Mo is what they should do.
However, no operation can be 100% successful, and Dagan also expected the possibility of failure, but in his mind, even if it failed, but with the safe retreat of the American nuclear submarine he arranged, it was always okay for the agents to withdraw, at least not to let the opponent seize the handle.
But now? Mr. Dagan had learned that several Mossad agents had been arrested by the Somali authorities, and he did not think that they could really be 'generous.'
"Boss, the Somali political axe is holding a press conference about the exchange of fire that took place in Mogadishu last night." At this moment, a staff member walked into the office and reported to Dagan. He didn't understand why his boss would pay attention to such a thing, but he believed that the boss must have his reasons for doing so.
"Is it live?" Dagan was stunned, turned around and asked.
"Yes." The staff nodded in reply.
"Get it for me." Dagan commanded softly.
Soon, the television was connected to a channel, and the picture appeared in a hall filled with a crowd, and after the camera stopped, Dagan noticed that there was already a figure on the stage, what appeared to be a well-known spokesman for the Somali Foreign Ministry.
The time pointed to 8 o'clock in the morning, and the spokesman who had been sorting out the materials stood on the podium, looked at the crowd with a solemn expression and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, friends from the press, good morning. Today, the purpose of our political axe's press conference is to inform the outside world about the attack that took place last night in our capital, Mogadishu......"
Reporters from all over the world are carrying long guns and short guns to the press spokesperson on the stage, and everyone looks very serious, even if they have a recording, but they can find something different from the spokesman's words at the first time, which is conducive to them to make a realistic analysis of this matter as soon as possible, and it is very important to ask questions freely in the later stage of the press conference.
The spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs gave a general description of the attack that occurred in the beach house area last night, which was similar to a normal press conference, and many key contents were brushed aside, which made many media reporters who came excitedly very dissatisfied, but at this time, everyone still endured, and many people began to record some key questions of understanding and ask questions later.
"That's all for the announcement of the attack, now is the time for free questions, before that, we have the Somali National Security Agency, Brigadier General Wang Ning, the Minister of Police, Senli? Minister Parra personally answered some questions. ā
With the words of the press spokesman, the scene became a little noisy, and everyone did not expect that there would be heavyweights at today's press conference. In particular, Wang Ning, director of the National Security Agency, is the head of the Somali intelligence agency who is quite mysterious to the outside world, and rarely appears in public and reports.
Some anxious reporters began to crowd forward, and various cameras were also pointed at the door of the backstage passage.
Soon, Wang Ning and Senli, who were dressed in formal clothes, walked out side by side and came to the front of the stage, only about two meters away from the reporters.
The guards tried their best to prevent the reporters from crowding forward, but fortunately, these media reporters are all from famous newspaper portals, not the kind of tabloid reporters, and they still pay attention to identity and quality.
The scene soon fell silent again, except for the sound of heavy breathing, as if the Spanish bullfight in red cloth was seen.
Wang Ning and Senli both looked extremely serious, and they didn't make too many preparations for today's press conference, so when they saw the hundreds of reporters in the hall, they were still a little shocked in their hearts.
"Director Wang, what do you need to disclose to the public about the firefight that happened last night?" A journalist from a well-known French media outlet was the first to get a question.
Wang Ning's face remained unchanged, he looked at the male reporter, and said in a deep voice, "This journalist friend, I don't think it's appropriate for the 'crossfire incident' you defined, this is not a bilateral conflict, nor is it a battle between two organizations for power, but a premeditated political assassination. ā
The word 'political assassination' came out of Wang Ning's mouth, and the faces of many reporters changed on the spot. Political assassination, as the name suggests, is a violent method carried out between countries and between parties for political goals and interests.
In other words, the attack in Mogadishu was not an enmity with Li Mo, but a political group that had a conflict with the political group represented by Li Mo, and in order to achieve a certain benefit, it sent personnel to assassinate Li Mo, in order to gain an advantage in the 'conflict' of the political group.
"This political assassination of our leader is a conspiracy planned by a certain national political axe, and the execution was carried out by agents of a reformed intelligence agency, and in the assassination, even heavy machine guns, rocket launchers and other high-powered weapons were used. This is no longer an ordinary assassination, but a contempt for our country's political axe and red. Naked provocation. ā
"Director Wang, who is the target of this attack? What were the casualties on both sides during the attack? Can you tell us a little bit about that? A media reporter from Iran asked.
Wang Ning saw that it was Iranian who asked the question, his face softened slightly, many people were sensitive to this point, but no one was surprised, everyone knew that Iran and Somalia had a good relationship.
"It was an important person on our side who was attacked, and it is inconvenient to disclose the specific surname, but I can tell you a little bit of information, in the attack, there were no casualties on our side, and the six attackers were killed on the spot by our security personnel, and three were captured."
