――――――

At the meeting, after Ahmed gave a general account of the general construction of the troops in the Ten Thousand Territories, Hofman then spoke:

"At present, there are 240 Rhino tanks in the territory, of which 25 have been temporarily mothballed due to malfunction, and the other 20 are in reserve. The first armored brigade of Haode was formed, which occupied one hundred and twenty vehicles, and two mechanized infantry brigades, each of which formed a tank battalion, each with thirty-two tanks, which was in a state of downsizing. It is expected that in half a year, the whole army will have 400 Rhino tanks at its disposal, and the troops formed will also be successfully organized according to Jihua.

Under the framework of the construction of the mechanized infantry brigade, there are already two tank battalions in place, and in terms of armored vehicles, there are only 400 at present, and it is expected that in half a year, it will be able to reach 700 vehicles, which is enough to meet the consumption of all troops. When it came to the construction of self-propelled artillery and artillery brigades, the pace was not very fast.

At present, only the armored brigade of the whole army has a fully formed self-propelled howitzer battalion, and the battalion has only 24 self-propelled howitzers. The number of self-propelled howitzers in the whole army is less than forty, and it is difficult to form two battalions. And in the direction of the construction of rocket artillery units, the speed is not fast, the whole army now has only 50 launchers, and the artillery shells are very sufficient.

In order to evade detection by American drones, these equipment are currently kept indoors, and many training exercises are also conducted indoors. Outdoor training is carried out with revealing equipment. However, please rest assured that the soldiers are professional counterparts, and the combat effectiveness is formed quickly. There is absolutely no waste of such good equipment. ”

"In terms of rocket artillery and self-propelled guns, I'll pay attention. You have been fortunate for the past eight or nine months. However, the next time. We still need to work harder, and the equipment is not a problem, the problem is that you have to give me all the combat effectiveness after the equipment is ready. Li Lan's words were full of majesty.

"Yes, we will never disappoint the high expectations of the commander." Ahmed and Hofman said in unison.

In the beginning, it was always in English, because it would not be difficult for everyone to communicate, so Mohammadi and Farah could hear both Ahmed and Hofmander very clearly.

So. The expressions of the two have always been rich, and emotions such as joy, surprise, and shock surround them. However, the soldiers were numbers, and it seemed that the two of them were not satisfied.

"There are so few Weishenme soldiers, only 20,000 people." Farah couldn't help but ask.

"Huh!" The corners of Li Lan's mouth curled, and he said, "Don't look at the fifty or sixty thousand armed men under Ah Wei, but they are definitely not my opponent of these 20,000 people." Very early on, I said that I would rather have five lions. Nor will they ask for five hundred sheep. ”

"But the government forces in Bossaso are not sheep, and I think it is necessary to increase the number of troops. Now that the territory has been built, the mold of a city has appeared, and your strange and beautiful layout has been revealed. Not to mention dealing with government forces. Even if it is to protect this place, the troops needed will be 10,000 or 20,000. I don't want to see that. The city that had been built with great difficulty was destroyed by the war. Farah said.

"Strategically, I see them like sheep. What's more, they are not sheep. My soldiers are not lions, they are wolves that are more terrible than lions. Li Lan said.

"I also think Mr. Farah is right, when the time comes, there will really be a decisive battle with Bossaso's government forces, and no one can be left behind in the territory, so I want to make a suggestion, in the territory, a group of troops are still needed to protect it." Muhammadi spoke.

Li Lan said: "I know your concerns, and I also understand the feelings of your hearts and the people of your territory who suffer from gains and losses. It is not easy for the territory to get to this point, and it is the result of everyone's joint efforts. Therefore, many people are worried that someone will come to rob us of the fruits of our labor.

However, I am here to assure you that I value the security of my territory more than anyone else. But I still didn't plan to conscript the residents into the army, not that I was reluctant to pay for the military money. But it is completely unnecessary, the formation of a garrison battalion, the task of patrolling and guarding is enough, there is no need to call up again. ”

"Weishenme, are you afraid that the two of us will seize power?" Farah wondered.

"Hehe, I don't believe in this the most, I'm very relieved of you." Li Lan didn't tell lies, nor did he comfort others, under the subtle influence of the base car, Li Lan really didn't worry about the two of them, and as long as the two of them had any crooked thoughts, they couldn't escape the general's insight ability. And in order to make the two of them believe their words even more, he explained:

"I don't want to conscript residents into the army, I don't want them to die at a young age. Our road ahead is full of bloodshed, and it will take a long time to train them into qualified soldiers, and I am afraid that they will not survive that time. In order to avoid tragedies such as white-haired people sending black-haired people, children losing their fathers, and wives losing their husbands, I have never wanted them to enter the battlefield of professional soldiers. ”

"But what about the soldiers of Weishenme, but not the others? They are also Somalis, and they still have Somali blood in their veins. It would be unfair for you to do so. Farah argued.

"No, my soldiers are highly trained, they know how to protect themselves on the battlefield, and each of them has a very high diploma and can use a lot of high-tech weapons. On the battlefield, their survivability is higher. If I don't let anyone else go to war, I just don't want more people to die on the battlefield and cause unnecessary casualties. Li Lan said.

"But since each of them has such a high culture, isn't it the most wasteful thing to send them to battle?" Farah did not give up and continued to argue with Li Lan.

Li Lan was also not angry, and continued to explain: "Do you know how difficult it is to train modern soldiers? Not to mention anything else, just the army, do you think that ordinary people can use our weapons and equipment? The more advanced the equipment, the higher the requirements for use, and I think everyone knows this. If I retire all these soldiers and recruit ordinary people into the army, they won't be able to use as much equipment. ”

"That can be carried by a soldier, and after a long time, it will be done." Farah continued.

"Later, you will understand when the navy and air force are built." Li Lan said very simply, and didn't care about the presence of Lin Meiqi in the conference room.

"However, the inhabitants of the territory are also eager to protect their homeland with their own hands, which is a common desire of many people. Do you know? How they envied those who had been recruited into the garrison. Not envy their salaries, but envy them for the opportunity to do something meaningful for the territory. This is Farah Zuihou's reason for persuasion.

Li Lan was silent for a moment and said, "In this case, we can't let the residents expect too much, in the current territory, it is indeed necessary to strengthen the garrison strength. So be it! You propose a charter to expand the garrison into a garrison regiment. The number of personnel is calculated according to the full formation. ”

Mohammadi and Farah nodded in succession.

"We still need to strengthen our intelligence work, and at present, all our intelligence is Farah's intelligence network, except for my home country. However, in these two aspects, our intelligence capability is still very weak, and this point needs to be strengthened. Li Lan continued.

"At this point, I will increase my investment in intelligence and investigation work." Farah Road.

Li Lan said: "In the future, the direction of our intelligence will not only be Bossaso, but also Ethiopia and other neighboring countries and the entire territory of Somalia. However, in intelligence work, we must not be in a hurry, we must first build a framework in this regard, and in the future, I will also bring some professionals to join in the intelligence work, and I will also increase the investment in the most intelligence aspects. As long as the framework in the early stage can be successfully established, the development of the intelligence department will also be very smooth in the future. ”

"I'll come up with a charter as soon as possible." Farah Road.

"No, the establishment of the charter of the intelligence department is left to Natasha to complete. You have something important to take care of. Li Lan said.

Farah was a little puzzled and puzzled: "What else do you have to deal with for me?" ”

"At present, the arms trade is severely restricted by the United States and European countries, and the territory has a large income, and it has also been seriously reduced during this period. We also need to find ways to break this pattern as soon as possible. You have the most connections, and I hope you can think of a way to do this. Li Lan said.

"I do my best." Farah nodded and agreed.

Both the intelligence department and the arms trade are areas that Li Lan is paying close attention to at present. He doesn't like to leave his fate in the hands of others, especially when it comes to intelligence, which is very important to the security of the territory.

There is a military dog in the territory, and this unit can recognize the spy in the game, which is not bad in reality, not only can it see through the spy, but also the hostility towards some people can be developed in the first time. Therefore, Li Lan does not need to worry too much about the security inside the territory.

But now the main danger is from the outside world, and his former enemy was only Bossaso's government forces, where Farah has a great potential strength and a very good intelligence work, which can meet the needs of the past. Now that the enemy has come from many sides, it is not limited to the Bossaso government army, which requires Li Lan to have a more comprehensive source of intelligence.

Although Zhonghua can provide him with information in this regard, Li Lan does not like to rely on others. This is a habit that he has not changed since he was a child. Not to mention that this is intelligence work, this thing can't rely on other people, and you must have a complete intelligence team.

That way, he doesn't have to worry about whether there will be any information available one day. This is not unfounded, but the simplest idea in the heart of an ambitious person. (To be continued......)
