Just as Li Lan was beginning to plan for the city wall and the layout of the territory, the base assistant reported to him: "Commander, Muhammadi is waiting for you in the living room on the first floor, and he has been here for a minute. ”

"I see."

Li Lan had no choice but to stop what she was doing and return to her room. Yesterday's battle had just ended, and he still had a lot of wounds on his body that had not yet healed, but fortunately they were only minor wounds that would not affect his free walking. But when you put on your clothes, it looks very miserable. Eventually, a lot of time was wasted before he endured the pain and put on his coat.

Taking the elevator, Li Lan quickly walked into the living room on the first floor.

Muhammadi was sitting quietly on the sofa, sorting through the many documents on the desk, and did not see Li Lan's arrival.

Li Lan didn't step forward to disturb him, but got busy on the side, made a pot of tea, and then took out some banana cakes and put them on the plate, and walked to the sofa. As I walked, I thought: I need someone to come here to do these trivial things in the future.

When Li Lan put down his things and sat on the sofa opposite, Muhammadi knew about Li Lan's arrival, and hurriedly said: "Some of them are invested, but they don't know that the chief is coming." ”

There is one aspect of Mohammadi that Li Lan is very satisfied with, and that is that he can see his position clearly. In the past, they were friends and could get along very casually, but now that their identities have changed, their relationships have also changed, and Mohammadi has always been able to insist on his identity and status, which is impeccable in Li Lan's view.

Seeing Muhammadi who was tired in the morning, with unwashed gunpowder smoke on his face, his already dark face looked even darker.

Li Lan said: "Didn't you let you have a good rest?" How did you make yourself so tired. ”

"The soldiers were on the battlefield last night, and it was only in the morning that the corpses of the enemy and our soldiers were disposed of, and the statistics were completed. So, I'll get up early in the morning, I'm afraid you'll have to watch it early in the morning. Muhammadi shook his head, sighed deeply, and continued: "Moreover, in the past month, so many people have died, and as soon as it is quiet, my heart is suddenly empty, and it is very unpleasant. ”

"What about the specific casualties." Hearing Muhammadi's words, Li Lan's mood also became very bad, and the joy brought by the upgrade of authority in the morning was also swept away in an instant.

"A total of 824 people were killed, 218 were seriously injured and amputated, 112 were still in danger of life, 457 were seriously wounded, 1,299 were lightly injured, and the specific number of casualties was more than 400 more than the previous preliminary statistics, and there are currently 856 combatable soldiers in the territory." The heavy numbers made Mohammadi's eyes red as he read them.

"Alas! With such huge casualties in this battle, it was really beyond my expectations, and a victory at such a cost could only be regarded as a pyrrhic victory. Li Lan slowly closed her eyes, leaned back on the sofa, and said slowly.

"There is no way to do this, the territory has just developed, and it has to face such an intense attack. This time, if it weren't for the sacrifice of the warriors, I'm afraid our territory would have become Awei's private property. As you Chinese say, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood. Mohammadi nodded.

"Our current equipment is still much behind the government army, we lack the ability to take the initiative to attack, we also lack the heavy firepower to support from a distance, and we lack the heavy equipment on the ground that can quickly resolve the battle." Speaking of this, a cold light flashed in Li Lan's eyes, and he stood up directly, and raised his voice: "However, all this has become a thing of the past. Next, we will have a heavy weapon that will make all shili fearful. Not only will we have armored vehicles for attack, but we will also have high-performance tanks, even self-propelled guns, and this disadvantage will be completely far from us. The initiative of the war will be in our hands, and it will not take a year, I will make the whole of Bossaso our hunting ground, and all enemies will be as vulnerable as tofu scum in front of my iron stream. ”

"You, you, what you say is true?" As Li Lan's voice raised, Muhammadi was also shocked and became a little incoherent.

"I said yes, yes, no one can stop it." Li Lan walked up to the shocked Muhammadi, patted him on the shoulder, and continued: "My friend, have I ever lied to you? When the time comes, we need more food, we need to help those refugees, we need factories to house them, we need to have fields to give them to plant, and then we need to be busy. Trust me, you'll be so busy that you won't even have time to sleep. ”

Muhammadi nodded stunned, these news were very explosive to him, and he didn't react to the half-ring.

"The tanks and armored vehicles and self-propelled guns you are talking about are not supported by your homeland." When he came to his senses, Muhammadi could not help but ask, in his mind, this was the only explanation that was the most reasonable.

"I can tell you that my country does not recognize anything I have done. As for whether this is the case, you will find out later. Li Lan did not say it explicitly, but left room for Mohammadi to think for himself.

"Oh!" Muhammadi nodded as if he had realized.

"What about enemy casualties?" Li Lan did not want to continue the previous topic.

"We don't know the exact number, but when we cleaned up the battlefield yesterday, we disposed of thousands of corpses, and there were a total of six corpse pits outside the city, which had been incinerated, so we couldn't get a specific number, but judging by the number of people who returned, including the losses of many parties in the early stage, we eliminated at least more than 7,000 militants and government soldiers." Muhammadi said.

"If it weren't for the fact that we had the walls and defensive cannons in place, I'm afraid we would have been wiped out long ago." Li Lan said.

Although the mobilized soldiers are much more effective than the government soldiers and the armed men of all sides, there are only a few places where they are strong. If it weren't for the fact that they had enough superiority to pull out a close contest, if they had to destroy the enemy in these numbers, I am afraid that the casualties of the mobilized soldiers would be much higher than they are now.

"This would have been our advantage, and an engagement of this magnitude has not happened in Puntland for a long time. I'm more worried now that things won't end there, that our existence has already attracted a lot of attention, and I'm afraid that we won't be able to calm down in the future. Muhammadi said.

"yes!" Li Lan nodded, he was already prepared for this, but as long as it was not the direct interference of the international shili, he would not have the slightest timidity, and the best way now is to respond to all changes with the same, as long as the strength is strong, there is no fear of others.

He continued: "Now, as long as we develop ourselves well, then we don't have to fear anyone. So, then, we just need to do our part, whether it is the Bossaso government army or those armed shili and tribes, don't deal with it, it's best if they can bring it up, help us attract attention, and don't worry if we can't fight. ”

"Understood, what should be done with the ashes of these true warriors?" Muhammadi nodded, remembering the ashes that had been put away, and he asked out loud.

"You can do it!"

"May Allah forgive you for not being able to perform the ritual of conversion to the truth, which is purely a helpless act. May you still return to dust and earth to earth, and Allah will raise you from the earth. After receiving Li Lan's answer, Muhammadi first prayed in a low voice and said: "I want to give them a simple burial, although their bodies have been cremated, they still have the right to be resurrected, and their return to the truth is only the spiritual sublimation of the body, and they will live forever in the world." ”

"Okay, I'll take care of this matter to you." Li Lan nodded, he didn't understand this kind of thing, he only knew that Muslims don't need to be cremated, and the others were not clear.

But this is Africa, and it is still on the battlefield, in order to avoid the breeding of bacteria and diseases, rapid cremation is the most haode way, and it is impossible to take care of other people's emotions at all.

"Sir, don't worry, I'll arrange haode." Mohammadi nodded.

Li Lan picked up a piece of banana cake, put it in his mouth, and said to Muhammadi beside him: "Next, eat, and then go and vent well, I have some good things." ”
