"Bastards, all fucking bastards, a bunch of rubbish, a hundred times stupider than pigs......"
The furious Awei kept under the cover, smashing things, phones, mobile phones, laptops, everything he could see, was the object of his anger.
After more than a day, most of the entire Bossaso fell into the control of others, and the 60,000 or 70,000 government soldiers could not even stop the other party's more than 10,000 people, and they were still under street fighting. How can this keep Avel from getting angry.
Even the tank unit, which had always pinned high hopes, went out less than an hour before the news of its total annihilation was on his desk. This is nothing less than adding fuel to the anger, and the anger is extremely extreme in an instant. The pistol in his hand had already taken the lives of six officers who had come to report, and at this moment, in the entire bunker, he did not dare to approach here, for fear of becoming the seventh.
In Awei's opinion, not to mention a month, a troop of seventy or eighty thousand people can hold it even for ten days, but the cruel reality tells him that his seventy or eighty thousand soldiers are not even as good as pigs. Because even if it is a pig, it will take a long time to catch it if it is placed in the city and let the red police soldiers catch it.
Originally, Awel thought that this battle would be a replica of Mogadishu, but the result was completely different. The Chinese soldiers are not American soldiers, each of them is Somali and belongs to the local war here, so he does not occupy it. On Li Lan's side, he occupied the advantage of public opinion and won the support of countless Somalis, but he did not win the slightest support of the people. On people. That was also on Li Lan's side.
The location is favorable, and the government army does not occupy it. Bossaso this place. It's not just the government army that is familiar with it, Li Lan was already a year ago. It was a targeted training for the day when the soldiers memorized the characteristics of every street and alley here. Therefore, in terms of geographical advantages, Awei did not take advantage of it in the slightest.
At that time, neither the government army nor Li Lan had an air force, and the US military could provide intelligence to the government army, and China could also provide intelligence to Li Lan, and this was basically equal between the two sides.
The right time, the right place, and the right people. Since the government army did not occupy any advantage, whether it was in terms of weapons and equipment or the combat quality of the soldiers, the soldiers of the Red Alert threw off the N streets of the gun-carrying civilians of the Bossaso government army.
As the main combat arm of the Red Police, the existence of Chinese soldiers and American GIs is originally a combat quality that can compete with the armies of Shijie mainstream countries. On the other hand, the government army said that it was nothing more than a group of civilians with guns, let alone formal military training, even if they could not be lined up. It can't be considered an army at all, let alone not in the stream. Because they don't even have the qualifications to enter the stream.
Under the same external conditions, no matter how many troops they have, they will not pose much of a threat to the Red Guard soldiers. If Li Lan has the support of the Air Force and Navy in this matter. That Bossaso had already been taken by him.
If Li Lan has the equipment of the American army, then Li Lan is confident that he will become an empty city in Bossaso and completely occupy Bossaso in one day. First, a tomahawk. This was followed by intensive air raids, followed by the march into the city to harvest wheat.
And without the support of the Air Force and Navy. Li Lan's original goal was five days, but now it seems that only three days is enough. Presently. Throughout Bossaso, Awei has been unable to organize an effective counterattack. It was only a matter of time before Li Lan occupied Bossaso.
Awei naturally understands the current situation, which is why he is so angry. If there is regret medicine on this shijie, then he will definitely confess Li Lan as Allah, and he will definitely not dare to be his enemy. Now, he has extremely regretted that he was obsessed with money in the first place, which led to such consequences today.
If he could see it now, then Awei at this time might be the third person after Mohammadi and Farah, but there is no regret medicine on Shijie. Everyone has to pay for what they have done, and they are also responsible for their choices.
Now, the price for Aweel has come, and it's in sight.
However, as a careerist, he may have given up just like this if he has been able to do it for more than ten years. He also wanted to make a move, even if the final result didn't change, and he wouldn't make the people he hated better.
He set his sights on Puntland, his titular country. Puntland's territory is not at all smaller than that of Somaliland, and its troops are not bad, and the regular army also has 30,000 or 40,000 troops, as well as a certain amount of armored troops. It's just that there is no decent Air Force, and there are no combat aircraft capable of taking off.
Puntland has always had Awe's way out, and for the sake of Bossaso's taxes, Puntland's top brass didn't dare to get too stiff with Awe, because Puntland didn't have the confidence to capture Bossaso. is also afraid that Awei will go out independently, so he has always adopted a policy of ignorance and softness towards Awei.
These days, though, Puntland has begun to have to change its policy toward Bossaso because it is about to become someone else's. This is something that Puntland could not bear, and it was in the relationship that Awel had previously accommodated, and that the port tax was still in hand in Bossaso.
Now that Bossaso is going to change owners, Puntland will lose the most basic state revenue, and the whole government will immediately fall into a financial crisis, and then it will be self-defeating.
Awei naturally understood this very well, so after seeing that the situation was not good, he called the senior management of Puntland, and said very bluntly that he was going to be eliminated, Bossaso belonged to others, and let Puntland figure out his own way.
Awe's move just stepped on Puntland's sore feet, and everyone from the president of the republic to the Council of Elders couldn't sit still. In Puntland, the tribes of the regions also began to recruit soldiers. For the sake of Bossaso, Puntland has not hesitated to go to war with Li Lan.
However, the top management of Puntland was not impulsive, but first protested to Li Lan, but Li Lan did not accept it, and then said that he wanted to negotiate, but Li Lan did not pay attention. Zuihou had no choice, and Puntland directly offered to give Li Lan all north of the Surud Mountains, west to the Somaliland border, and east to outside Bossaso. Li Lan still ignored this.
In response, Puntland protested to China, but like Li Lan, the Chinese government ignored it. At this moment, the top management of Puntland was also annoyed, and after the meeting of elders, fortunately the whole of Puntland was tied to NATO. In the name of the Puntland Republic, he asked Ethiopia and the United States for help and asked them to send troops to suppress Li Lan's rebellion.
Ethiopia responded readily, but the United States did not reply. Because the United States does not want to offend China and Russia to death, at least on the surface. However, secretly, the United States has begun to increase arms assistance to Ethiopia.
On the other hand, Ethiopia has also begun to speed up the pace of troop build-up, and air force movements have become more frequent.
Awe's goal has been achieved, but his life is getting worse and harder. Because Li Lan's offensive became sharper, by the third day of the battle, the surviving air force of the government army was less than one square kilometer.
There are less than 10,000 armed liliang left in his hands, and there are even fewer heavy weapons.
As a last resort, Awei had no choice but to seek political asylum in the Italian embassy in Bossaso. By the evening of the third day, the Red Guard had completed the occupation of the whole of Bossaso.
At the same time, Puntland officially declared the armed forces under Li Lan's command to be rebels, and hoped to receive extensive international help. However, as an unrecognized country, there is basically no response to it. Even Ethiopia, which is very diligent in sending troops, is very silent in the international community, let alone the United States and other NATO countries.
Because they are openly supporting the official Somali government, it is impossible to openly stand in solidarity with a country that is not recognized by them. Of course, some secret help is still indispensable.
And the name of Li Lan's rebels is real this time. In the past, Aver's name was insufficient, but now Puntland has come forward, even if his status is not widely recognized, but it is still a country, and what he says has more weight than Aver.
Of course, Li Lan did not care about this in the slightest, no matter what his name was, only if he could oppose the war, sooner or later the government he would control would be the real legitimate government of the whole of Somalia. Both sectarian forces and the Somali government, which had been driven out of Mogadishu, had to stand aside.
However, sitting in the name of an anti-government army, Li Lan is not a "comrade-in-arms." In just one day, he received a number of telegrams with an offer to cooperate with the Young Eagles, as well as a joint document from a denominational organization.
In this regard, Li Lan just politely refused, he had no intention of associating with these shili, especially the youth army with a very bad reputation, and it was even more impossible for him to get involved with them.
After taking Bossaso, Li Lan is now going to start the second step of strategic layout, and taking Bossaso in three days has brought him a lot of time and space to turn around. As for Awei hiding in the Italian Embassy, Li Lan didn't care, but in the name of turmoil and protection, he sent a platoon of soldiers to monitor the Italian Embassy 24 hours a day. Watch not to let Awell leave Bossaso, everything else is whatever.
Because now Awei has made Li Lan not too interested, and when all the troubles are resolved, it will not be too late to deal with him.
Now, the actions of Puntland and Ethiopia are what Li Lan is most concerned about, and they are also the ones that deserve his attention. If it weren't for the fact that the current troops were inferior, Li Lan still wanted to eat Puntland in one go, in order to avoid the troops being too scattered, this kind of thing was just Li Lan's thoughts. However, Li Lan also prepared several responses, no matter when the two countries sent troops, what the scale was, from which direction, when Ethiopia launched air strikes against him, and what the intensity was, he was fully prepared.
