April 30, 2007 is a very important day for both the Star Group and Somalia. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On this day, the most mysterious and controversial figure in the Somali Republic, Li Mo, chairman of the Somali Star Group, resigned as chairman of the largest Somali company, and was inaugurated as the first vice chairman of the Somali National Defense Council and deputy commander-in-chief of the national defense forces.

This news, like a boulder, set off a violent ripple and triggered a terrifying wave for Somalia, for Africa and even the world when the May Day holiday was approaching.

It's finally out of the public eye! This is the first reaction of many people who have been paying attention to Somalia, an East African country, Xingchen Group, an 'enterprise' with a special status in Somalia, and Li Mo, a 'Somali Chinese' who is only in his twenties, after receiving this news.

The world is big and big, and small is small. A piece of news that catches people's attention has the potential to reach most of the world's population in just an hour.

And the first high-ranking Chinese official in Africa is undoubtedly a news that has attracted the public's attention. In particular, the official position held by this Chinese is not a position in the ordinary sense, but the top three of the first team. This position is very important and prominent, even if Somalia's military strength is not ranked in the world, it still has 70,000 national defense forces, and it is also a regional strength that has defeated its neighbors.

In the huge presidential palace, senior officials from the Somali military and political circles gathered, and ambassadors from various countries to Somalia were also invited. Although today's banquet was held in the name of President Yusuf, the brief content of the invitation letter only mentioned that it was an extremely private banquet, in order to provide a platform for exchanges and leisure between Somali representatives and Somali military and political officials in Somalia because of the May Day holiday.

But well-informed people know that today's banquet, Yusuf will not be the protagonist.

At 6 p.m., there was a lot of traffic outside the presidential palace. In the past, there were only four soldiers guarding the gate, and there were many mysterious people in black.

Wang Gongzan, the Chinese ambassador to Somalia, and Colonel Song Zhesong, the military attache in Somalia, stepped down from a black Audi car with a small red flag.

"Ambassador Wang, tonight is very lively!" Military attache Colonel Song glanced at the cars flying various flags in the parking lot and laughed in a low voice.

Wang Gongzan then darkened, glanced around, and found that no one was within five meters of the two of them, so he said softly, "If the news I got before is true, today is still a very important event in the overseas Chinese community." ”

Song Zhe understood the meaning of Ambassador Wang's words and nodded silently.

The Somali Presidential Palace has two banquet halls, one large and one small, and today's banquet was held in the Grand Ballroom.

In the banquet hall of more than 200 square meters, there are those who wear formal dresses and those who shine in military uniforms. The dozens of people present gathered together in twos and threes, talking in low voices. If you have a keen senses, it is not difficult to hear that these people gathered together are talking about some ordinary and trivial things. Although everyone is smiling, there is no lack of scrutiny and scrutiny in the depths of their eyes.

Compared to the politicians who try to pretend to be gentlemen, the voice in a corner is much louder. This corner is full of officers from the Somali Defence Forces who are brigadier generals and above, and there are also several important officers at the rank of colonel who are lucky enough to be invited.

Although the officers gathered together, there were some small circles among them, but it was generally clear that the positions of these officers were basically the same. Because the conversation between the two loose circles was basically not deliberately secret, some of the officers who were well acquainted with each other did not circulate around the small circles with wine glasses.

"General Palmer, old ...... Didn't Mr. Lee take over this? A brigadier general officer, who was no more than thirty years old, leaned his head and whispered in front of a brigadier officer who was nearly forty years old. When he said 'this', he secretly gave a thumbs up and gestured upwards.

Although his voice was deliberately lowered a lot, the people around him were all sensitive. In addition, the identities of the two are not ordinary, although many officers are talking to others, there is always a part of their attention here. Thus hearing the young brigadier's question, some of those who thought they were close to each other came over and pricked up their ears to wait for Brigadier General Palmer's explanation.

After more than a year of reorganization, the officers and men of the Somali Defence Force are not very old as a whole, and there are many colonels in their twenties, and even many brigadier generals. When I am young, I naturally have curiosity, and as a soldier, I am not like a politician, although I feel itchy in my heart, but on the surface, I have to pretend that I am a gentleman and do not intrude into other people's privacy. These are young but high-ranking officers, and they are naturally somewhat 'active'.

Brigadier General Palmer, member of the National Defense Commission, deputy commander of the Capital Military District and commander of the 1st Armored Brigade, is a very special person in the Wehrmacht. Palmer is special in that he wears many hats, spanning the highest decision-making bodies, large military districts, and front-line force commanders. This situation is very rare in many countries. That is, it has the highest decision-making power and military command power. Generally, in order to prevent someone in the military from becoming bigger, the two powers are separated. From this it can be seen the position of Brigadier General Palmer in the Wehrmacht. In addition, Palmer was one of the first members of the Paramingchu Army, serving as the commander of the Fifth Regiment of the Paramingchu Army, stationed at the Soken border. So in the Wehrmacht, Palmer was much respected by later officers. Previously, Palmer was the second member of the Wehrmacht to be part of the Stars.

The speaker was also a celebrity, Brigadier General Saleh, commander of the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Somali Defence Forces. A returnee who abandoned his pen and left Rong. He performed well in the first Soken border conflict, and was discovered by the stone who was in charge of the border conflict at the time, and recommended to Li Mo, and soon became the commander of the 3rd Regiment of the Paramingchu Army, and became the commander of the first Mechanized Infantry Regiment of the Palamincho Army, and led the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Regiment to participate in the 'Blitzkrieg', and made a long-distance attack on the city of Baidoa, the 'capital' of the Rahanwen Resistance Army. He is also one of the most relied on military generals under Li Mo.

As a confidant, Saleh naturally has access to information that others don't know. He had heard some inside information and knew that the boss was not the deputy commander-in-chief, but the commander-in-chief. But today's news from the National Defense Committee and the parliament is that the boss is the deputy commander. The deputy commander and the commander-in-chief are too far apart.

"Modern warfare has special operations, with decapitation carried out by airborne local command centers, and conventional warfare, step by step. Although the purpose of the two is to win the war, the difference between them is huge. Brigadier General Palmer remained unsmiling, but his words seemed to be at odds with the Saleh issue. But which one of those present did not understand that this was a word in the word.

"General, I see. The key is this 'step by step', right? Occupy one place and consolidate another, so that the people in the occupied areas have time to accept the rule and also have time for themselves to digest. Saleh's eyes lit up and he smiled.

Brigadier General Palmer looked at Saleh with admiration in his eyes, but did not answer the question again.

After getting the news he wanted, Saleh also changed the topic in due time and talked about the experimental class of the Military Academy that has recently caused a stir in the military.

As one of the few members of the Defence Force with a broad vision and a long-term vision, Saleh is naturally aware of the importance of a modern military academy for the Somali Defence Force. Saleh understands the problems in the IDF, that is, the uneven command at all levels, and many officers have not even received officer training, and have not even participated in actual combat. There are also some officers who can't read two words, and if the National Defense Force, which is built up by such officers, wants to become a strong country in East Africa, as long as it trains hard with one heart, it can still be done, but if it becomes an African power, it will not be easy.

Without systematic and scientific training, we do not know how to bring into play the tactics of maximizing the combat effectiveness of a certain technical weapon, and if we have no culture, we cannot even read the manuals of some technical weapons, let alone do it. War is not child's play, and it is most taboo for laymen to lead insiders. Only by having a deep understanding of technical weapons can we perfectly apply various suitable tactics and even create more perfect tactics. Dönitz's 'wolf pack tactics' and Guderian's 'blitzkrieg' mean that only by having a deep enough understanding of technical weapons can we create new tactics and give full play to the combat effectiveness of a certain technical weapon.

However, Saleh also understands that it is precisely because of the low level of culture and the fact that there are too many officers and men who do not know modern warfare carefully enough that these problems are difficult to solve for a while.

The Defence Forces (IDF) are the impregnable walls of Somalia today, encircling the security of hundreds of thousands of square kilometres of land. If we want to solve this 'stubborn disease', we can't just rely on layoffs. That would easily cause instability in the army. Only by washing hands and fresh blood while screening and training the original officers and men can we ensure the stability of the majority of officers and men.

These problems have obviously been taken into account above, and Saleh naturally does not bother, what he is thinking about now is to stuff a few more low-ranking officers of his third mechanized infantry brigade in the experimental squad. But the instructor was in charge of this matter, and he didn't find a chance for a while. Saleh felt it was a good opportunity tonight.

There are many people who have the same idea as Saleh, and on the surface they are playing haha with each other, but in fact, everyone is wary of others.

"The President has arrived!" With a shout, the eyes of everyone in the banquet hall focused on the main door.
