Chapter 847: Uganda's Choice
After the Kenyan missile counterattack, the result was a more powerful counterattack, and the missiles of the Third Missile Brigade were all medium-range tactical ballistic missiles, and the warheads contained in them were even more powerful than the American assault saboteurs.
The hollow charge warhead mainly kills the defense points and armored units of the Kenyan army, while the warhead with the penetrating effect is aimed at the radio signal receiving and sending point of the Kenyan army.
After the missile strike, the Kenyan army's defense was quickly broken down under the new offensive, the defenders in each area had to fight on their own, a large number of command structures were destroyed, and the whole of Nairobi was quickly divided into small battlefields, and then quickly wiped out.
By the time the sky cleared, the entire territory of Nairobi had been planted with Somali flags, and by that time the war had only been four days old.
At the same time, the news that Uhuru and others had taken refuge in Uganda also spread quickly throughout Kenya, and the Kenya National Alliance stationed in Nairobi began to take over the government's work and set up a Kenyan interim government, and a large number of officials were dispatched in a short period of time to take over the cities occupied by the Somali army and pacify the Kenyans.
A telegram urging him to surrender also reached other cities in Kenya and was echoed by some.
At this time, the Somali Ministry of Defense also said that the Somali army is willing to help the Kenyan interim government do a good job of national stability and help the new government do a good job of reunification. Somalia's statement has also caused many cities that are still holding out to give up resistance and are willing to submit to the interim government.
Uhuru and others in Uganda naturally do not want to see such a situation emerge. Kenya has been called upon again and again to resist the Somali invasion, claiming that the so-called interim government is nothing more than a puppet government of the Somalis. It will become a puppet of Somalia in the future.
As the head of the provisional government, the man with glasses naturally had to stand up and refute it. "A national sinner who has left behind his own people and army is no longer qualified to be the head of state, a guy who grovels under the West, and even less qualified to continue to command brave Kenyan soldiers in a senseless war. Kenya needs to be free and not controlled by anyone, and as soon as the country is stable, there will be a national presidential election, and those who abandon the country and the nation in order to survive are the sinners of the whole country. The Government of Uganda is advised that it would be advisable to repatriate these criminals to face trial by the people of Kenya. Otherwise, not a single qiē will be subsided. ”
At the same time, the Somali Ministry of Defense also said for the first time: "It is really deeply regrettable that Uganda has provided political shelter to the enemies of Somalia, because as a fellow African country, it should be working hard for Africa's development, but it is willing to become a pawn of Western countries and adopt an enemy posture against countries that also belong to Africa." This is yet another great sorrow for the African continent...... The Government of Uganda was officially informed and immediately transferred Uhuru and Omamo ...... Wait for others to be repatriated and handed over to the people of Kenya to deal with, otherwise they will pay the consequences. ”
Facing the dual threat of the Kenyan interim government and the Somali Ministry of Defense. The Ugandan government also said for the first time that providing asylum to Uhuru and others did not violate international law, let alone Ugandan law. It is Uganda's own sovereignty, and Uganda will not accept any threats. Nor will they bow to power.
The Ugandan side has no intention of backing down, and the Kenyan interim Government does not seem to have time to deal with it. Efforts are being made to restore stability in the country, while the Somali army has begun to recuperate its troops and has not made any statement on the Ugandan government's statement.
However, this brief lull was soon shattered, and the Somali 1st Heavy Division, which had been stationed in the South-West Military Region, suddenly moved out and marched towards the border between Uganda and South Sudan with the permission of the South Sudanese government, passing along the eastern border line of South Sudan.
In just a few hours, the Somali First Heavy Engineer bypassed the city of Cuba, the capital of South Sudan, and is only about 100 kilometers from the Ugandan border, and only two need to reach the Ugandan border.
Such a sudden march was clearly targeted, and the Ugandan government immediately declared a state of emergency, and the Ugandan government army also urgently moved towards the northern border line. Police and reserve forces throughout the country have also begun to be temporarily reorganized.
The sudden rise in temperature in Uganda is a sign that a new war is about to emerge, and the Somali military operation is no joke, and the Ugandan government army, with less than 50,000 troops, is simply unable to resist the Somali front.
This has caused a huge shock to the entire Ugandan society, the old neighbor Kenya has changed the government, and the burning city has not even extinguished the fire at the moment, is the war really coming to its side?
Tribes in northern Uganda, which were not very stable, began to show signs of rioting, and various statements questioning the government continued to appear on various websites in Uganda, which also forced the Ugandan government to gradually shut down the Internet.
However, even in the face of such intense pressure, the Ugandan government did not relent, and President Museveni even urgently signed the National Interim War Act to begin the conscription of retired soldiers.
Museveni's move has even stimulated the unhappiness of the tribes in northern Uganda, and the national resistance movement, which has gradually subsided in the past two years, has even shown signs of re-emergence, and the Holy Spirit Resistance Army, which has been active in northern Uganda, has also stood up and called on Ugandans to resolutely oppose the president's stupid order to avoid pushing Uganda into the road of destruction.
Even Li Lan felt a little amused by the incident that happened in Uganda in just a few hours, he did not expect that his own order would actually bring Uganda to the brink of civil strife.
However, he liked the situation, and even disliked the lack of chaos in Uganda, and ordered the 3rd Armored Brigade, which was resting in Kenya, to immediately stop recuperating and advance towards the border between Uganda and Kenya.
Just as the Somali 3rd Armoured Brigade began its operation, the route was announced by those who had a good heart. Soon, the news spread throughout Uganda and around the world.
The message also portrayed the combat effectiveness of the Somali 1st Heavy Division and the 3rd Armored Brigade, and also announced the strong achievements of these two forces.
As the first two ground armored units established by the Red Guard Corps, the 1st Heavy Division and the 3rd Armored Brigade experienced many important battles.
According to the content of the message, the combat effectiveness of the Somali 1st Heavy Division, even if all the Ugandan army is dispatched, can only be completely wiped out.
There is no need to fight a war that is obviously impossible, and even most of the senior levels of the Ugandan government have said that they should hand over Uhuru and others to settle the matter.
Museveni is not a fool, of course he understands that the Somali army is strong, and Uganda's military is far inferior to the Kenyan army, and under the Somali army, the Kenyan army cannot support it for even a week, and Uganda's army of more than 40,000 cannot be the opponent of the Somalis.
However, he also has difficulties, once Uhuru and others are handed over, then the entire NATO will completely stop supporting Uganda and terminate cooperation, you must know that Uganda's economy is dependent on the support of NATO countries, if there is no support from NATO, then the economy that is not optimistic will immediately be full of holes.
On the one hand, the danger of losing the country on the economic side is the most difficult choice, and he wants to agree to Somalia's request, but he is reluctant to accept a large amount of economic aid every year, but if he does not agree to Somalia's request, then he will die.
Before he could make a choice, the Somali Ministry of Defense made a formal statement, this time not only demanding that the Ugandan government stop the political protection of Uhuru and others, arrest them and hand them over to the Kenyan interim government, but also allow the Somali army to enter Ugandan territory and control the weapons depots in Uganda that supported the former Kenyan government. Otherwise, the Somali Government will resort to war against Uganda.
Museveni is also quite helpless in the face of another threat from Somalia, and Anders, the NATO representative who returned to Uganda, has warned him more than once, which makes him have no choice.
Just when Museveni was in a dilemma, the Chinese ambassador to Uganda came to his door. Unable to choose either way, he could only pin his hopes on a new way out, and after the two talked secretly for half an hour, his face slowly returned to normal.
Then things were much simpler, Li Lan, who was on her way to Pakistan, received a call from Museveni.
The two talked on the phone for half an hour, and finally Li Lan agreed to Museveni's request that China pay every year to make up for the loss of Uganda's economic aid, and to carry out all-round trade cooperation, and once NATO retaliates militarily against Uganda, Somalia will provide direct military assistance to the Ugandan government.
Museveni's choice did not surprise Li Lan, Museveni is a very good judge of the situation, and the main reason why he chose Somalia is because he does not want to be Uhuru. And judging by the recent change in form, he also believes that Somalia is capable of helping him get out of NATO's control, and with China's economic support, he has nothing to lose at all. In addition to these two points, there is another important reason, Museveni is not very fond of the ideas of Western countries, and NATO often interferes in his national policy.
A combination of many reasons made him make this bold choice. (To be continued......)
