Under Li Lan's special tone, Natasha instantly understood, and then said loudly: "Report to the commander-in-chief, our naval fleet has won a great victory in the Indian Ocean, defeated the coalition Indian Ocean Combined Fleet, destroyed the US supercarrier USS Bush, and the US supercarrier Lincoln was seriously damaged for some reason, and a total of four surface ships of the coalition fleet were destroyed in this battle, more than 100 fighters, and more than 5,000 coalition soldiers were killed or wounded. Our army lost two missile launchers and thirteen carrier-based aircraft, and the number of casualties was forty people. ”

The news from Natasha's mouth made the originally tense atmosphere change dramatically in an instant. Everyone's faces showed joy, and they were very excited to talk to the people next to them.

"Smack!" Li Lan gently clapped his palms, and after quieting down the conference room, he returned to the main seat, at this moment, the smile on his face had been retracted, and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, now is not the time for us to be happy, this victory is only a key step towards success, and it does not mean that the war is over." So, rejoicing and celebrating, I hope you wait until the war is completely over before we do it.

Of course, joy is still worth rejoicing, and this kind of good news also needs to be passed on immediately to every Somali citizen, so that every Somali can share it with us, which is the real joy. ”

"Rest assured, President, I'll be right now."

Looking at the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who hurriedly got up and left, Li Lan shook his head slightly, but he did not stop it.

For him, this victory was just a memorial to the fallen heroes, and it was not something he was too happy about, but it was a very powerful propaganda material.

——————

The center of Bagua City, located at the end of the square behind the base. A large mosque stands opposite the rear of the base, and a pagoda sits halfway between the mosque and the base.

A mosque in the Arabian style. Become the center of faith for Muslims throughout Bagua City, at normal times. Somali Muslims come here every day to worship.

This mosque was built by Li Lan at a special expense, and he did not go straight to believing in this kind of thing, and a good doctrine can lead people to goodness, and he did not make any evaluation of Islamic teachings, and he did not deliberately promote them. Nor will it be banned.

But in terms of winning the hearts of the people, he is very attentive, and he tries not to change the local customs as much as possible, which is Li Lan's criterion. Although he is also very unaccustomed to some customs, such as the prevalent "circumcision" in Africa, (I haven't heard of it to ask Du Niang), but many things need time to change slowly, an ancient and inherited custom, it is not overnight to change. What's more, now he doesn't have the energy and time to change these.

This increasingly magnificent mosque has now become an important building in Bagua City, and the newly prosperous city will naturally attract many outsiders. Naturally, it has become a good tourist classic, and many Arabs and foreigners often come to the mosque. Watch the service or join in.

Today, the gates of this mosque are closed. The advent of war, except around the port. In the entire streets of Bagua City, except for reporters and soldiers, there were basically no civilians in sight.

However, inside this mosque, many people come every day. These are not ordinary people, they represent the Bagua City and many tribes in Somalia, some are chiefs of the tribes, some are elders. These people gather here to pray every day, and it is easier to keep in touch with the government.

Naturally, the mosque has also become a key object of protection, and around the mosque, a platoon of the Praetorian Guard, as well as two Apocalypse tanks and armored vehicles, have become the guardians here. On the periphery, there is also a company of garrisons, which, in addition to protecting the entrance to the bomb shelter, is also responsible for assisting in the security of the mosque.

The war had been going on for almost a week, and the nearly two hundred chiefs and elders had not left a single step, and every day they watched the war except praying.

These people are very important to Li Lan, because these people are his supporters, and they are very firm supporters. However, these people are not suitable for entering any high-level positions, they can become representatives of the clan, but Li Lan will not reuse them. Unless you are very talented, like Kahin, and have been screened through layers of screening, you can enter the center of Somali power.

Why did Farah and Muhammadi become Li Lan's right and left hands, their talent and acquaintance are one of the reasons, and there is another very important reason, that is, these two people are not clansmen, they do not belong to the category of scattered people, and naturally they will not favor any tribe, only in this way can the two of them become Li Lan's right and left hands.

Of course, Li Lan is not refusing to allow those young people from the tribe to enter the government department, but he needs to be very strict in screening, and he must also be the kind of talent who can be molded.

Somalia is like a ship to Li Lan, and only when the hull structure is stable and the hull is flat and stable, it is possible to carry him to cruise in the sea of stars. The keel in the hull is the Red Police, and the Somalis are every rivet on it, it is they who make up the integrity and stability of the hull. Therefore, in order to sail far, sail steadily, and go through the unpredictable journey, the whole ship needs every rivet of unity to be tightly attached to it. Otherwise, with the existence of the keel of the Red Police Corps, Li Lan would not be able to go to sea.

These chiefs and elders, who have a high reputation among the tribes, are the important beings who condense these rivets.

It was already approaching dusk, and inside the mosque, all the elders and chiefs sat quietly on chairs arranged in a neat circle, and inside the mosque, a simple iron frame with a television set on it.

At this time, the Somali Central News is being broadcast on the television screen, and a Somali woman is briefing every viewer in front of the TV set on the latest situation of the Somali war. Every moment is live, every minute is news.

On the frontline battlefield, a large number of military videos and reports by military reporters have never stopped transmitting the situation to every Somali person. Many of these reports will be transferred to the international community and will become an important basis for the world community to understand the specific situation of this war.

The war between the media is also the focus of the coalition forces and the Somali side, and Li Lan's cyber unit was established on this basis to protect the security of its own network media and to disseminate information that is effective or beneficial to itself widely, both internally in Somalia and transmitted to the world.

Public opinion offensive, public opinion war may not determine the outcome of a war, but it is a very important part of war. This is despite the fact that the coalition forces have carried out a lot of electronic jamming around Somalia, disrupting the Somali network and media transmissions, intercepting and modifying broadcasts and redirecting them to the coalition's own broadcasts. However, under the maintenance of the network troops and base assistants, the network and broadcast channels have always been firmly controlled by the base.

War will cause a nation to suffer a lot of calamities, but it can also make a nation highly cohesive. The outcome of the war was beyond the expectations of the whole world and, of course, by every Somali person. I was amazed at the strength of the Somali army, which was incredibly able to block such an elite attack of the coalition forces. At every turn, the reputation of the Somali army is constantly rising. The most immediate benefit is that Somalis have greatly improved their cohesion and self-confidence.

If Li Lan had time to take a look at the popular sentiment index, he would have been very surprised, because the popular sentiment index of the base has exceeded 80 percent and is rising at a high speed every day. Today's base people's sentiment index covers more than 11 million Somalis in the whole of Somalia, that is to say, at least more than 8 million people, and Li Lanna has a high degree of reverence.

In just a few days, from more than 70 to more than 80 now, this is the benefit that this war has brought invisibly. The strong fighting capacity and determination and will of the Somali army make every Somali person feel a sense of pride and joy from the bottom of their hearts.

However, in the hearts of the people, there is also another emotion, that is, giving. The new Somali government does not allow guns to be left behind, which is something for Somalis, who wants to carry a weapon in their hands every day as long as their personal safety is guaranteed. But the Somalis are also a warlike people, and once again the United States invaded, the feeling of hatred and hatred for the enemy quickly spread among every Somalis.

Every day, countless voices are calling for themselves to enlist in the army and take up arms to resist the impudent oppression of the United States.

The most important of these are the chiefs and elders, many of whom are tribes who are good at fighting against the environment, and these tribes are the hegemons of the region during wars and warlord secessions. Now that the Americans are once again bullying the door, every young man is screaming, eager to go to the battlefield immediately and defend today's life with his own hands.

Even these chiefs and elders, who are not young, have the war genes flowing in their bodies, so that they are always irritable except for prayer time. Now they have liked this kind of life, some tribes have migrated to Bagua City in the famine, and have stabilized their lives for more than two years, and they have a strong sense of belonging and identity to the current life and government.

Their irritability is a hatred of Americans, and their uneasiness is the fear of losing their current lives once again because of Americans.

These people have all experienced the turbulent 22 years in Somalia very deeply, and they know very well how difficult life is now. Many people were almost starved to death, and the days of struggling on the death line every day really can't happen again. Twenty-two years of hellish life are painful in themselves to recall, and it is impossible for them to go back to their original lives.

Since the only way to save the current life is to take up arms to defend it. That's the easiest way for them to do it. (To be continued......)
