Chapter 1167: Watson Base 4
Johnny knew what he meant, and this is also a point that RΓΆhm has always emphasized, why didn't he look for a place where the situation was stable, but instead settled in this place where the war was constantly raging and he had an excuse to form his own military force. Otherwise, no matter how well the base develops, a base without strong force as a guarantee, even if the situation is stable, people can ban you at any time.
Only when it is recognized by the Somali political axe and declares to the outside world that the Watson base is a legitimate existence permitted by the Somali political axe, and is an internal affair of Somalia, can there be a reason to gain a foothold in the international community. After a long time, the international community and Somalia have become accustomed to the existence of the Watson base for a long time, and the base has completely taken root in this land, or it has been completely integrated into this land.
Sure enough, the construction of the base was constantly interfered with by the surrounding armed forces, and Roma immediately submitted a request to the Somali political axe, asking the political axe to guarantee his investment. But the Somali political axe himself can't handle the rebels, how can he have the energy to help him eliminate the bandits, and he doesn't have the ability.
Rohm naturally offered to buy some weapons and equipment to form some forces to defend himself and protect his investment.
This reason is not excessive, and the Watson base has signed a contract with the Somali political axe to allow the Watson base to have armed forces to defend itself.
So finally there is today's scene, and the development of the situation step by step is in Rohm's plan, which also proves that Rohm's decision is right.
It's just that Johnny feels a little unwilling to keep throwing money to those guys who can't feed him, they have always been the only ones who rob others, but now he is being stretched out by others from time to time, he feels very uncomfortable, after all, his own money is not picked up.
Too lazy to think about those insatiable guys, Johnny took a deep breath and got down to business: "The howitzers we want won't come until the next batch." β
Rom smoked his cigar and nodded, "Let them send the equipment as much as they can, and the training can't be delayed." β
"The U.S. military is very cooperative, and the military advisers sent have offered to let us hand over the trainees to them to start training."
"So positive?" RΓΆhm was a little surprised, and looked at the American GIs who were looking left and right not far away, and suddenly realized that those American GIs did not want to stay in such a harsh environment for too long, and wanted to end the mission as soon as possible.
"It seems that the conscription work will start immediately, and we will first recruit 2,000 young and strong men from 50,000 people, and then select 100 reliable personnel from our own people to mix in as military backbones to receive regular military training together, which is our future guarantee, and we cannot be careless."
"Okay. However, sir, there is a troublesome problem that needs to be solved, the area of our base is too small, I am afraid that aircraft and artillery cannot conduct live-fire training on land, is it necessary to build a live-fire training ground facing the sea by the sea? Johnny asked.
"There's no need." Rohm bit his cigar and sneered: "Didn't President Abdullah want us to help him eliminate the rebels?" Such a good excuse cannot be missed, send people to find out the strongholds of the surrounding militants, combine live-fire training with actual combat, and first exterminate the surrounding guys who like to find trouble, I believe that the strongest soldiers can only be trained in actual combat. β
Johnny was stunned and said, "You really want to help him put down the rebellion?" β
Rohm sneered: "Without an armed rebellion, is there still a need for the military force of our base to survive?" The purpose of our suppression of bandits is not to give the war in Somalia a chance to stop, we will fight whoever is strong, let them maintain equal strength and no one will obey anyone, let them continue to fight so that we can maximize our interests, and I am very interested in turning the minerals in some places into wealth. But help should also be given to Mr. President when appropriate, because a Somali political axe is needed to defuse unfavorable rhetoric externally, but it is not allowed to give the political axe a chance to sit on the possibility of a unified Somali regime. β
Hearing this, Johnny smiled at the corner of his mouth, looked at Rohm with admiration, and felt that Rohm was really needed to lead everyone in terms of the overall situation, and his strength was only execution. "Sir, what should we name our army? It's better to be louder to scare your opponents. β
Rohm couldn't help but glance at him, "The more low-key the better, if you can't be loud, just call the Watson Industrial Zone Security Team, and we must declare to the outside world that we are only defending ourselves." Remember, we're just a security force, not an army! β
Johnny was stunned, and couldn't help but smile on his stereotyped face, this security team is really good, even equipped with tanks, fighter jets and warships.
"Okay, I'll settle those American GIs first." Johnny quickly turned away.
Rohm walked towards the rows of tanks with his cigar in his hand, touching the thick iron armor of the steel monster, but his heart was full of warmth, and he didn't want to miss any of them, this was his hard work.
But it didn't take long for Johnny to run back again, "Sir." β
Rom, who had raised his hand and touched the barrel of the tank, looked back and waited for him to continue.
Johnny reported: "There is news from the Vatican that the cardinal is dead and that his body has been brought back to the Holy See. β
Rom was somewhat surprised, he had heard from the mouth of the blood clan about the strong fighting power of the black-clothed cardinal, it was simply an invincible being, and he couldn't help asking, "Do you know how to die?" β
Johnny shook his head and said, "We can't find out the news from within the Holy See, but the cardinal in black is still young, and his strong body should not be a normal death, and he may have killed a large surname." β
Rom nodded slightly in agreement: "Ordinary people are not capable of killing the cardinal, it seems that he has already confronted Caesar, if Caesar is so easy to deal with, he will not survive now, he should have despised Caesar's result and died at Caesar's hands." Caesar was so bold that he even dared to kill the cardinal of the Holy See, and I would like to know who will win and who will lose next between the great Caesar and the Holy See. β
Johnny was worried: "Caesar even dared to kill the cardinal in order to protect his son, in case it was found out that it was our hands and feet......"
"The matter of Scotland, Caesar did not look for me, which means that there is no leakage of news from the blood clan, and it is even more impossible for the matter of the cardinal to find out about me, what evidence can I prove?" Seeing that Johnny's face was not very good-looking, Rom put aside Lin Zixian's matter for the time being, and asked, "Is there anything else?" β
Johnny nodded solemnly and said, "There are two families who secretly escaped on the cargo ship that was about to leave the port, and the two families of nine have been arrested." β
Rohm's joy at getting a large amount of arms disappeared in an instant, his face sank, he smashed his fist on the tank armor, the cigar in his hand smashed angrily on the ground, he stomped a few times to extinguish it, raised his head and said angrily: "Why? Why? I give them jobs, I never owe them their salaries, I do my best to provide them with adequate food, I give them the best medical care, I give their children a good education, I do my best to support the elderly who are unable to work, I have worked hard to create conditions in this wasteland to ensure that they no longer live on the streets, no longer look at other people's eyes, no longer hungry and cold, why would they prefer to be beggars? Why would they rather let their children and grandchildren be reduced to a lowly people who are looked down upon by others from generation to generation? β
At this time, Rohm was like an enraged lion, and this was not the first time that someone had taken the opportunity to sneak a boat to escape, and this escape hit him harder than anything else.
In fact, Roma knows very well in his heart that it is impossible for this 'romantic' people to reverse the traditions that have been formed over many years in a short period of time, they are accustomed to wandering in the bustling city and the beautiful countryside, singing, dancing and living freely with a relaxed attitude, they do not like constraints.
In fact, it is rare to see this ethnic group in a poor place, although the infrastructure here can ensure their livelihood, but the environment is really not very good, the area is small and there is no mobile surname, and naturally there is a lack of entertainment, and there are occasional militant attacks to be frightened, and the rules and regulations to go to and from work make them very unaccustomed, completely contrary to their traditions...... Tradition is sometimes scary!
Johnny asked indifferently, "What to do with them?" β
The treatment of these tribesmen, Rohm, who has always been ruthless to the outside world, can't bear to be ruthless every time, just let education, but education is useless to educate, and there are still people who seize the opportunity and run away.
Rom's chest rose and fell sharply, and said: "Kill one and make an example, kill them all!" β
"Five of them are children, are you sure you kill them all?" Johnny had to make sure again, because he knew how much Roma loved this people, treated everyone as his beloved relatives, and never could bear to hurt lightly.
Because of this, for the sake of this nation, Roma can even sacrifice a qiΔ, including his own surname!
This is also what Johnny admires most about him, and he is willing to follow him at the cost of life and death.
"We have come to this point, there are too many difficulties to get to this point, and I will never allow a small number of people to ruin the future of the entire nation!" Rohm slammed his fist on the steel plate of the tank, tears gleamed in his reddened eyes, and two lines of tears slid down his cheeks, hanging on his thick beard, looking up at the sky, clenching his teeth and saying slowly: "Kill them all!" Let everyone understand the consequences of running away without permission! β
Looking at the tears shed by Rohm, Johnny's eyes were full of fierceness, he knew how much this man had paid a lot of price and effort along the way, and he had always been extremely strong to meet any wind and rain, and he had never wavered in his ideals.
He would not weep no matter how great his suffering was, but every time he wept, he wept for his suffering nation! It was a heartfelt sorrow!
"Yes!" Johnny turned away with a grim expression.
"Johnny!" RΓΆhm suddenly shouted again.
Johnny looked back and thought he regretted it again.
Rohm turned his back to him and said, "Everyone is a human being, not a place to work, a place to relax." Tell Anna that the planned development site in the north will be built into a leisure and entertainment venue, and the relevant entertainment facilities will be included in the procurement matters. β
Johnny frowned and said, "Sir, we don't have a lot of land, and each piece has a planned prospective use, and the entertainment venues can be postponed to find opportunities to build." β
RΓΆm waved his hand with his back to him with some haggard strength and said, "Go ahead, do as I say." β
Johnny stopped talking, but finally sighed softly and turned away...... (To be continued.)
