It was already night, and Lin Ze listened to Tian Minjian's report in the "war room". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After the report, everyone was ready to go to the next room for dinner, and after the meal, Zhang Xu, Liu Qiang, Louise and others still needed to go to the front line to command the battle.
Dinner was very local to Suo Mali. Camel milk, and some roasted beef and mutton.
After dinner, after a short rest, Zhang Xu, Liu Qiang, Louise and others left.
In the underground bunker, only Lin Ze, Tian Minjian, and Liu Xi remained.
The three men came out of the underground bunker, and in Mogadishu at night, both sides had stopped firing.
The three of them walked to the roof of the building, and the north side was a black patch, with only a few bits of light!
Lin Ze pointed to the north and suddenly asked, "Do you know what the leader of the other party's troops is called?" ”
Tian Min said: "The leader of the Somaliland warlords is called Egal, and the leader who led the troops to attack is called Dahir, who is Egal's henchman. ”
He paused, his expression slightly solemn, and continued, "According to the information we knocked out of the captives, Egal is coming here with nearly 200,000 armed men. ”
"Two hundred thousand?" Lin Ze was a little surprised.
Tian Min said: "It's all temporarily pulled up in recent months, and if you send a gun, it's just a soldier." ”
Lin Ze shook his head and sneered: "What kind of combat power does this have?" ”
Tian Minjian sighed slightly and said, "In the eyes of the warlords, they are just cannon fodder. ”
Lin Ze was silent.
A crescent moon hangs high in the sky, and the stars are shining in the sky, but the industry developed during the socialist period in Mali has long been abandoned now, and the industry is almost zero!
The absence of industry makes TA very backward, but it also avoids industrial pollution.
Although the stars and moon were brilliant, there was no light shining down.
Mogadishu was silent in the dark.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The trio returned to the underground bunker, and it was then that Zheng Gangsheng, who was in charge of the Suo Mali Development Bank, arrived.
Lin Ze chatted with him for a while, and the amount he had lent to Salad Hassan was nearly $100 million!
Almost all of this money was used to buy arms from country Z.
Now there are more than 100,000 armed people in the capital, and basically everyone has a 56 rifle (the Z version of AK-47), and for every ten people, there is a Type 69 40mm rocket launcher (Z country version RPG-7), and a Type 95 squad heavy machine gun!
Z domestic products are very cost-effective, and Salad Hassan's side, with the support of funds, quickly and comprehensively armed.
And among the anti-government* government coalition forces, the best economic conditions are the Somaliland warlords, who occupy five provinces in northwestern Somalia, and there is the good port of Berbera, with a total population of about 3.5 million!
But his annual revenue is only about $20 million, most of which is from the customs duties of the port of Berbera that he controls, and the rest is for the export of livestock.
He has accumulated several years, and his financial background can only exceed 100 million US dollars.
Now the AK-47 supplied by the West costs only 1,500 US dollars, and he has newly pulled more than 200,000 people, how can he have so much money to equip it?
But this does not require the warlords to bother their brains, because the arms dealers of the West themselves have made their own proposals: sell their resources!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In recent months, while Egal's 200,000 armed forces have been rapidly rallied, the rights to exploit resources in Somaliland under his control have also been signed out one agreement after another.
The vast majority of those who signed this kind of mining right agreement with him are FA companies, and there are also a very small number of Ying countries.
MEI and DE did not sign such an agreement.
The people of DE are rigorous and pragmatic, and do not think it is necessary to risk in Suo Mali for those resources.
Mei Guo, on the other hand, has suffered such a loss, and has had a nightmare of a black eagle falling in Suo Mali, so I don't want to and don't need to set foot there again.
At that time, Mei Guo did not know how many arms he had supported Jiang Guangtou and how many similar agreements he had signed, but in the end, Jiang Guangtou was driven to Taiwan, and Mao Taizu directly annulled all those agreements, and Mei Guo suffered heavy losses. (Mei aided Jiang Guangtou, in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, it exceeded 6 billion US dollars, and the 6 billion US dollars at that time was probably equivalent to 800 billion US dollars now!) )
More than 200,000 troops are coming to Egal, plus the vanguard forces that are besieging the city, a total of nearly 300,000 troops!
The northern defense line is only about 5 kilometers lateral, and if nearly 300,000 armed men are all used to attack here, there will be 60 armed men almost every meter!
With such a crowd tactic, even if the defending side has fierce firepower, the pressure is also extremely great!
Lin Ze asked Tian Minjian, "Do you think you are sure to hold the city?" ”
Tian Minjian frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then said with a solemn expression: "I don't have much certainty." ”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When Lin Ze heard this, he frowned slightly, and asked, "How many percent?" ”
Tian Minjian shook his head and said, "In the future, the follow-up forces of other warlords will inevitably come over one after another, and the pressure on us to defend the city is extremely great!" If you want to say sure, well, less than three percent. ”
He sighed lightly and continued, "The point is that this city is too small! If this city were ten times larger, even if the enemy was ten times as strong as ours, I would be completely sure that I would consume them in street fighting! ”
"Hmm~" Lin Ze groaned, his brows furrowed deeply.
"Isn't that a sure defeat?" Zheng Gangsheng's face was very ugly, "In that case, wouldn't all our investments be wasted?!" ”
Tian Minjian glanced at Lin Ze, and suddenly said faintly: "...... However, if we can get a batch of rocket artillery and artillery, when the enemy troops are approaching the city, we can use absolute firepower to bombard the enemy intensively......"
Heavy weapons!
Lin Ze suddenly felt a chill down his spine, as if he saw a dense crowd gathering together in front of him, and then suddenly there was a fire rain in the sky......
