――――――

For this sudden battle, Li Lan did not have any mental preparation before.

The news sent by the Future Technology Group spread all over Shijie in a short period of time, and many of those registered arms dealers were spokespersons for the country. Previously, Li Lan also expected that there would be a participation of countries, but he did not expect the United States to be so active.

When Liu Zhenghui and the others encountered the U.S. Navy SEALs, he decided to leave these Americans behind. There's no way he's going to be silent after being bullied. Whether it was the United States' support for Ethiopia last time or the intervention this time, Li Lan was quite angry.

If it weren't for the fact that he still had his senses, Li Lan would even want the Black Hawk to dispatch and destroy the drone base set up by the US military in Ethiopia. Just knocked out the opponent's four predators, which can be regarded as a vent for himself.

As for how the United States will respond to this incident, it is beyond Li Lan's control. Anyway, the order to annihilate the US Navy SEALs may be a little impulsive, but he will not regret it. This is a battle of wills, and when things come to an end, it is impossible to solve the problem by retreating. If you don't show momentum, how will the remaining team escorting the arms complete the mission? For this reason, Li Lan even sent out the Nighthawk helicopter in order to carry out his inner conviction.

As for the reaction of the US side, Li Lan had a little premonition in his heart. A Navy SEAL team entered a country's territory for the purpose of hijacking arms, and then was wiped out by mercenaries in a small squad. There was also a squadron of field army special forces green berets, and the face of the United States was considered to be lost home. And dozens of American special forces died at once. The U.S. government will also try its best to cover up this kind of thing.

To this end, the United States has also paid for four Predator drones, the backbone of a drone squadron stationed in Ethiopia, if the United States dares to use this as an excuse for openness. That will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among many people in China, and in terms of international reputation, it will also turn into a mercenary company that will lose its own skin to fulfill Li Lan's mercenary company. There is nothing more effective than this kind of propaganda, and when the time comes, the armed MCV mercenary company will inevitably become famous overnight.

Therefore, Li Lan did not have much worry about this, and if the United States wanted to retaliate, it would do so slowly. As for the installation of what terrorist title is on his head, the current situation. It's not the Americans who have the final say. If it wants to be established, it is also the establishment of the United States. In doing so, the United States will also face great pressure from international public opinion.

Everyone knows that Li Lan has played an important role in the Somali region, and that he has provided food, clothing, housing, transportation, work, and employment for more than 5 million impoverished Somalia in the past two years or so. The dedication to this is also deeply admirable.

Even China and Russia have jointly nominated for the United Nations. He called for the honour of Ambassador Li Lan and his contribution to international humanitarianism. Although this nomination was ultimately not approved due to the intervention of the United States, it also brought Li Lan great fame. The United States will have no way to deal with Li Lan in the same way it used to deal with those local armed forces. Again. The previous results of Li Lan and the Ethiopian side were enough to tell Quan Shijie that he was not easy to mess with.

All aspects considered. The United States has a lot of concerns in this direction. If Li Lan is a heinous person. Then the United States occupies the moral high ground, as long as it gives him the title of terrorist. It is then listed as a key target. Then Li Lan would not be able to survive at all, because before the high-level authority, Li Lan did not have any strength to resist the US military attack.

Now it is naturally different, whether it is the anti-missile system or the increasingly sound navy and air force units, they are not muddy. Before his strength has grown further and he has no stronger strength, Li Lan will naturally not take the initiative to cause trouble. But if the United States really makes a move, then he will not admit it.

If nothing else, when the time comes, not a single American ship can pass through the entire Gulf of Aden, and he will be able to block all the American passages in the Gulf of Aden, including the Red Sea, in an instant. There is no need for the Air Force and Navy to take action, and the construction of shore-based anti-ship missiles alone is enough to blockade several Gulf of Aden.

The current Li Lan is not enough to attack, but more than enough to defend. V-1 missiles, he never stopped building. According to the performance of the V-1 series of missiles, as long as the United States does not dispatch long-range strike means, it will be able to counterattack.

Moreover, Li Lan is also confident that as long as the United States takes action against him in another year, he will be able to completely wipe out all the US military bases in the 3,000-kilometer radiation circle around the base overnight. Of course, he must also be mentally prepared to withstand even more frenzied retaliation by the US military; as for operational preparations, US bases cannot defend against his missiles, so he may naturally be able to defend against US missiles.

Because it will not be one or two, but a large group, and at that time it will be a missile strike that is dozens or even a hundred times more than the nature of a saturation attack.

Therefore, Li Lan's possible retaliatory actions taken by the United States in the next can be summed up in one sentence: soldiers will block the water and cover the earth.

An hour after the end of this small battle on the Soe border, a message from the official website of the armed MCV mercenary company quickly caught the attention of Jeon Shijie. Under the operation of the assistant, this news was quickly reprinted by many large media websites of Shijie. The news, which is better than the freshness of the news, reports on an armed conflict that ended just an hour ago.

Armed with the MCV mercenary company, accepted the hiring, escorted a batch of food to South Sudan, and assisted the starving South Sudanese people in the war. However, when the convoy was heading to the border between Ethiopia and Kenya and Somalia, they found an ambush of armed men, who also attacked and killed more than a dozen Somali civilians.

The mercenaries under the armed MCV took decisive action, gathered superior forces to surround them, and also used the advanced weapons purchased by mercenary companies at high prices to carry out a powerful attack on this extremely dangerous ambush force.

After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the ambush was finally annihilated on the border between Ethiopia and Somalia, killing a total of 132 enemies and more than 20 of its own casualties.

The report also included a video of the engagement and hundreds of photographs. The picture of the battle is very clear, and the rhythm of the battle is particularly obvious. Of the 132 people who died, the website also published photos of more than 60 of the armed men, as well as the 10 innocently killed Somali civilians, all Somalis. In the report, it also said in a very positive tone that in addition to the Somali government soldiers who released the photos, there were also 48 foreign special forces involved, and as for the nationality, the report did not disclose it.

At the same time, the armed MCV company also protested to the nominal government of Somalia, claiming that they had violated humanitarianism by sending elite troops to hijack the food for humanitarian aid. As for employers, the reason for arming MCV to protect the privacy of employers is not mentioned.

In this report, the most striking thing is the Nighthawk helicopter and the two medium- and short-range anti-aircraft missile vehicles in the battle picture. With such an armed mercenary company, there are not a few Shijie in the whole Shijie, and those who can have similar weapons and equipment are all Shijie's mainstream mercenary companies, and their strength is very strong.

And a mercenary company that emerged from a stone actually has such weapons and equipment, which has also become the biggest highlight of this report. As for the situation of the battle and how many people died, on the contrary, not many people paid attention. Many people are wondering what kind of stuff this armed MCV came out of. Who is behind it, and whether there is any political background.

At the same time, many mainstream mercenary companies in Shijie also feel like wolves at the same time. For no reason, there is an extra competitor who does not seem to be weak, which is bound to be a little apprehensive.

As for this report, it was naturally in accordance with Li Lan's request, and the materials received from the mercenaries were edited by assistants. Published photographs of the deceased, on which there is not a single American. But the death toll includes all the people dispatched by the United States.

Li Lan did not know whether this was an order from the top level of the United States or the plans of the US Africa Command itself. Li Lan helped save the face of the Americans. If the United States does not go to the Tao, then Li Lan will not mind directly disclosing the corpses of these American soldiers. Let the top level of the United States have a good headache, how to explain it to the domestic people. If the United States wants to take advantage of this to make trouble, then Li Lan can only continue.

However, mainstream media such as the Associated Press and AFP have pointed out that this report does not conform to the truth. It was pointed out that the escorts in this report were completely deliberate to distort the facts, and that the convoys escorted by these mercenaries were all arms destined for South Sudan. As for the armed men who were lying in ambush and the battle, these media were unanimously silent.

Of course, there are also people who openly support the armed MCV company, first of all, the South Sudanese government army, because this batch of arms was purchased by the South Sudanese government army, so it is natural to stand up and support the friendly act of arming the MCV to help them escort the food, and at the same time, the South Sudanese government also claimed that as long as the armed MCV company can escort the "grain" to the government, it will also pay an additional labor fee, and promised to compensate the mercenaries who were killed and injured by the escort mission.

In addition, the South Sudanese government also pointed out that it hopes to cooperate more closely with the armed MCV company in the future, and also hopes to deepen the friendship between the two sides.

At the same time, Xinhua News Agency and TASS news agency also publicly condemned the banditry of Somali government forces, while also expressing deep regret for the actions of the participants. (To be continued......)
