Volume 5 Chapter 474 A Civil War Breaks Out in Somaliland
readx;
"You say there was a civil war in Somaliland in the morning?" Li Mo's eyes widened and he looked at Wang Ning in surprise and asked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The news is incredible, what is Somaliland? Before the reunification of Somalia, Somaliland was known as the 'island of tranquility' in troubled times! Prior to its establishment, the Somali Defence Forces (SDF) had the largest armed forces in Somalia. Why did such a 'state within a state' have a civil war? Who are the two warring parties?
"The Union of Islamic Courts secretly sent most of its militants to Somaliland a month ago, and in the following period secretly assembled simultaneously in the cities of Borama and Zela, near Ethiopia and Djibouti. At 7 o'clock this morning, the Union of Islamic Courts attacked the municipal axe building and public facilities in these two places, and developed a fierce exchange of fire with the Somaliland army that was then supporting, and by the time the information came back, the fighting between the two places was still going on! Wang Ning reported all the information that the Ministry of Intelligence had to Li Mo.
Li Mo frowned, where did he seem to have heard of this Union of Islamic Courts. But I couldn't remember it for a while.
Wang Ning saw the boss's doubts and immediately explained, "According to our investigation, the Union of Islamic Courts was originally a militia organization developed by some like-minded people in the Somali judicial system, and later began to develop into partisan armed forces with the funding of certain forces. At the end of the last century, the Union of Islamic Courts had a glorious time in Somalia, when it attacked the capital, Mogadishu, but was routed by the Aideed forces and disappeared. According to some rumors, the defeated Union of Islamic Courts is divided internally, with the hardliners having ties to al-Qaeda through some means, and there is also an internal split with the hardliners gaining the support of Saudi Arabia. However, we can't confirm his real surname at this time! ”
After listening to Wang Ning's explanation, Li Mo remembered that he seemed to have heard others say it before. This man seems to be the old chief of the Para tribe, Moore.
However, what Li Mo didn't know was that in the history of his previous life. This time, the Union of Islamic Courts is attacking not Somaliland, but the Somali capital, Mogadishu. However, the outcome was still a failure, because this time Ethiopia sent troops directly into Somalia to fight the Union of Islamic Courts. However, the failed Union of Islamic Courts split again, forming two radical Islamic radical groups that later led to a number of terrorist attacks in Somalia.
"Who will win between them?" Li Mo suddenly asked a question, but when he asked it, he laughed at himself. This is a naïve question. Somaliland's military strength, even the current Somali Defense Force, does not dare to say that it will win. Otherwise, the real battle for the reunification of Somalia would have begun long ago.
"Hehe, boss, although the Union of Islamic Courts has the support of forces behind it, its armed scale is too small, less than 2,000 people, compared with the more than 30,000 official troops in Somalia, the gap is too big. Now we should see how many days they can hold out! Wang Ning said with a chuckle.
Li Mo nodded and said, "Do you think we have a chance this time?" What he meant was whether he could take advantage of the outbreak of the civil war in Somaliland to wipe out Somaliland, a 'state within a state', in one fell swoop, and completely unify Somalia.
"It's hard!" Although Wang Ning is not in charge of military affairs, he has the most information in his hands, and some things can be made more correctly as long as they are simply compared.
"After more than ten years of development, Somaliland has long had a relatively complete military service system. Compared with the newly formed Somali Defence Force, the Somaliland Army has the advantage of having a unified surname. Moreover, the armament of the Somaliland army is, in general, stronger than that of the Defence Forces. The most powerful in the Somaliland Army are the four tank brigades, equipped with a total of 122 T-54/55 and T-62 modified tanks, in addition to a surface-to-air missile brigade, and two BM-21 rocket artillery brigades are the elite of the army. At present, the only force in the Wehrmacht that can pose a threat to these elite units is the 1st Armored Brigade. Even the 1st and 2nd Mechanized Infantry Brigades did not turn out well in the face of these armored units! ”
Tanks such as the T-54/55 may seem like old Soviet-made tanks by sound, but in any case, they are tanks, and they are still more powerful than infantry fighting vehicles. At least in the engagement of tanks with infantry fighting vehicles, the end is understood by all.
And the existence of that surface-to-air missile brigade undoubtedly seriously threatens the security of the helicopter gunships in the Wehrmacht. In the air defense network composed of long-range surface-to-air missiles, close-range RPGs, and portable anti-aircraft missiles, it is difficult for helicopter gunships to play a big role when the number of each other is about the same.
After listening to Wang Ning's words, Li Mo's face was very ugly. Thinking about how many means he used to put together the three armored units he used, in the end he could not even reach a 'national army' that was not recognized by the international community. It would be strange if Li Mo could be happy.
"Boss, we have only been established for a short time, and it is already a remarkable achievement to have such a big development!" Wang Ning quietly glanced at Li Mo's ugly look and softly comforted.
Li Mo's calm face softened a little, but the discomfort in his heart did not dissipate. However, he also knew that what Wang Ning said was the truth. The development of the Star Organization is fast enough, and Somaliland's army has only gained its strength after more than ten years of development; If the Somali Defense Forces also go through more than a decade of development, it will not be a piece of cake to strike at Somaliland when the time comes?
"By the way, Wang Ning, what about the black man named Ahmai who came back with me last year? It is the grandson of Egal, the second president of Somaliland! Li Mo asked suddenly, and casually took out a key from his body that emitted a silver-white light. This key was the key that Ahmai had used in exchange for the blessing of Li Mo. It is said that this key involves a very big secret, a secret that made Egal from a small infantry battalion commander to the president of a country.
Wang Ning was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and thought for a while, before remembering a black man who was handed over to him for protection when the boss came back from Huaxia last year. At that time, it was said that the young black man might be of great use to the Order, and that it was necessary to keep him safe.
"Boss, that young man's black man should be in the army by now. At that time, he insisted on joining the army, and I felt that the army was safer than other places, so I agreed. Wang Ning then remembered the whereabouts of the person mentioned by the boss.
Li Mo nodded and was silent. When Wang Ning saw this scene, he consciously retreated.
In Li Mo's mind, he was thinking about whether to reveal this secret now. He had always suspected that Ahmaer's big secret was that Egal had discovered a treasure trove of German troops during World War II. But Li Mo felt that it was not so simple, it was this concern that made him not think about uncovering this 'treasure' when he needed funds the most. This is mainly due to his later verification of various information, showing that the German army did not enter Somalia during World War II, and only the Italian army entered Somalia, while the main battlefields of the German army and the Allied army were in Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Tunisia and Ethiopia. The garrison of Somaliland's second president, Egal, when he was the commander of an infantry battalion, was near the town of Egger in Togdale Oblast, which was less than 100 kilometers from Ethiopia but was part of British Somalia at the time.
As for whether the German army would secretly send elite soldiers carrying a large number of treasures to the Allied-controlled area to hide, Li Mo could not verify. So he was still very skeptical about whether this 'secret' was a treasure or not.
When people have doubts about something, it breeds a curiosity to know what is really going on. Li Mo pinched the cold alloy key in his hand, not knowing if he should reveal this secret now.
It wasn't until he left the Industrial Park in Badada Town that Li Mo finally made up his mind. Find Luo Xiang and Wang Ning, the captains of the Meteor Commando, and tell them to take the key and Ahmai to the bank in the United Kingdom, and open the safe to see what is inside. Then decide whether to uncover the secret.
As for whether this will attract the attention of the current 'president' of Somaliland, Li Mozhi does not care. Now he is not afraid that Somaliland will know that he is protecting Ahmai, even if it is exposed, it is nothing!
In the past few days when Luo Xiang and others went to the UK, Li Mo was also busy, he was not busy with anything else. But his first offspring is about to be born. He must always be by the side of the child and his mother, waiting for the first child to be born.
The best private hospital in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, suddenly became many strangers the other day. These strangers don't do anything, they just walk around the hospital every day. For each patient or family member, take a few looks.
Seeing this scene, many people understood that there was a big man in the hospital. Because the best private hospitals are made by people from Mogadishu's wealthier population. Usually well-informed, it is natural to know that these people may be security personnel sent by someone.
On this day, just after the influence of this group of strangers had fallen silent, countless armed soldiers suddenly rushed into the private hospital. Some even saw through their windows two helicopters with missiles hovering over the hospital. The group of soldiers stormed the hospital without making any movement or restraint on the others, but only took over the defense of the maternity ward of the obstetrics and gynecology department and the high-end ward area of the hospital.
Li Mo rushed to the hospital from the outside with a large group of people at this time. He went to Ding Huiqiang during the break just now, but he didn't expect to receive a call from the hospital within a few minutes of sitting down, saying that Liu Qingyue was about to give birth. Anxious, he hurriedly returned to the hospital, and learned that Li Mo's woman was going to give birth, Lei Zhen, Ding Huiqiang and others also came to join in the fun.
When he came to the hospital, he saw the soldiers patrolling and standing guard everywhere inside and outside the hospital, and even Li Mo was startled. He didn't have any of these soldiers when he was here. And he did not give any order to mobilize the soldiers to be on guard. With a slight turn in his head, he knew that it must have been done by Hussein. When he learned that the boss was going to have offspring, the top brass of the organization was even happier and more nervous than his 'father'. As the due date gets closer and closer, there is an organization senior executive waiting in the hospital every day, and today it is Hussein's turn to be 'on duty' here.
Li Mo didn't have time to think about these things, there was a thought in his head: I want to be a father!
