Chapter 43 International Attention
PS: Dear friends, do you still have tickets? The recommended ticket is very unimpressive! The battle is about to begin, ask for fire support.
In the morning, because I was in a hurry to go to work, when the chapters were released on a regular basis, I got the order wrong!! Forgive me, but it has been revised now.
ββββThe following textββββ
Mohammed, who was discussing with Li Lan what to do next, also received a call from Farah.
When Farah had heard about Li Lan's preparations before, he knew that Li Lan was not a person who could keep silent, but he never thought that things would make such a big deal.
The entire Bossaso moved, and the target was directed at Li Lan.
Hearing those rumors, even Farah couldn't help but be moved, but in the end he still held back the greed in his heart, and immediately called Muhammad to inform Li Lan and the others to get ready.
His instincts told him that it was not wise to go against the Chinese.
He had a certain guess before, judging from the fact that the Chinese had bought so many things and was able to take out millions of rounds of ammunition at will, the other party was definitely not the kind of person who was willing to be lonely.
From the bottom of his heart, a voice kept reminding him that all this was most likely made by that Chinese, and even if it wasn't, the other party was definitely prepared.
Even if his idea is wrong, he will not regret it, because according to the current situation, it is already a situation where there are more monks and less porridge, and there are still government troops behind him, so he has no intention of lying in this troubled water. It's better to sell a favor to that Chinese, once things really go as he expected, making friends with a strong rising shili is more important than anything else.
Farah and Mohammadi didn't say much, and soon the phone was handed over to Li Lan.
"Mr. Farah, xiexie, your kind reminder." After taking the phone, Li Lan first thanked Farah.
"You are so gracious, you have come to Somalia and you are planning to build a school with us, and I am the one who should thank you. In the future, if you are short of textbooks, you can always come to me. β
"My purpose in going to Somalia is very simple, and we will have a lot of room for cooperation in the future, and we will inevitably trouble you when the time comes, as long as you don't refuse me at that time." Li Lan said.
"Where, when this matter is over, I still want to have a long talk with Mr. Li." Farah Road.
"I'm also looking forward to further exchanges between us." Li Lan said.
"Let's put that aside for the future, I just told Mr. Mohammadi. But there's one thing I didn't tell him, it's about your identity. Farah said.
"What's the matter?" Li Lan wondered.
Presumably, Mr. Li should be very clear that although foreign countries do not pay much attention to Somalia, they are not left without any means. In the case of the United States, although it is more interested in Mogadishu, it has also supported a little armed shili in Bossaso. The main purpose is to provide intelligence to the US side and increase the US presence here.
Of course, not only the United States, but also many other countries are paying attention here. And the rumors that spread in Bossaso this time are bound to attract international attention. If it was just a small fight, it wouldn't be like that, but now it seems that the matter has made a big fuss, and you are a Chinese, which will definitely attract international attention, especially Western countries. Farah reminded.
Hearing Farah's words, Li Lan reacted. He still thought too simply about this incident. The Gulf of Aden, which connects the Red Sea, the Suez Canal, the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean, is geographically important and no country can ignore the situation.
In particular, the development of the Shijie pattern and the high-profile U.S. strategy of returning to the Asia-Pacific region are enough to show that the United States is concerned about China. And in such a period, a Chinese person who is on the side of the waterway that the United States focuses on and establishes an armed shili, can it not attract attention?
I'm afraid that even if I can hold the base at that time, I will face endless troubles, and agents and spies will flock to it. If he is charged with terrorism again, he will live a life at that time, and it is very likely that everyone will shout and beat rats crossing the street.
"Mr. Xiexie Farah's advice, I understand." Li Lan suddenly felt that his head was as big as a fight, and the trouble in front of him had not yet begun, and the trouble in the future was in front of him.
"But I believe that Mr. Li will be smooth sailing, between countries is about interests, anyway, Mr. Li is standing behind a big country, even if there is trouble at that time, it can be resolved smoothly." Farah seemed to point.
"Huh!" Li Lan just smiled lightly and didn't answer anything. The truth is known only to him, and there is no one behind him.
If you do not comply with the West, you will face sanctions from Western countries at that time, and will China stand behind your back? Li Lan didn't even dare to think about it, it was better to ask for others than for herself.
To follow the West is to commit treason, and it is not one's own will. Therefore, when he heard that the international community began to pay attention to him, Li Lan felt a headache. I am more able to appreciate the difficulties of the road ahead.
After a few more conversations, the two sides hung up the phone.
Seeing Li Lan with a heavy face, Muhammadi next to him said: "I believe in you, the base will be safe and sound." β
Muhammadi didn't know what Li Lan was thinking, and thought he was worried about what was going on.
"You have to be able to block it, even if you go to the battlefield in person, you have to be able to block it." Li Lan did not express the concerns in her heart.
"Those who come to investigate, how to deal with it, just kill it or put it back." Muhammadi asked.
"The result is almost the same whether you do it or not, in that case, what if Weishenme wants to let them go back? All stayed. Li Lan, who was squeezed by Mount Everest, began to explode in a violent mood. shouted in his heart: "What's the big deal about international shili, this is my territory, come one and I'll kill one, come and kill a pair of me, come and kill a bunch of me." When the time comes, it's a big deal to start over in a different place. I don't believe that the world is so big that there is no chance to start over. β
With Li Lan's order, Ahmet began to contact the scouts scattered on the side of the road, and one after another orders full of murderous intent were issued, and the fishy wind had initially formed.
ββββββ
A sloping area thirty kilometers east of the base, a dozen kilometers west of Mohammadi's original village, which is sparsely populated.
Next to the main road, there is a slope at an angle of more than ten degrees, and on the other side of the slope is overgrown with weeds.
At this time, five or six soldiers in camouflage uniforms sat quietly in the weeds, and the withered yellow weeds, half a person tall, just disappeared from them. There are three long iron boxes next to them, and several square wooden boxes on the side.
The five or six men sat together, each wiping the weapons in their hands with strips of cloth, and the surroundings were very quiet, except for the slight friction of cloth and firearms.
Suddenly, the radio on the waist of the highest-ranking soldier suddenly rang.
"Call the hyena pack and start hunting."
"Hyena One understands!"
"Hyena Two understands!"
β¦β¦
When he arrived, the soldier picked up the walkie-talkie and replied, "Hyena Ten understands!"
After answering, he took the walkie-talkie in the hand of another soldier and ordered: "This is Hyena Ten, the hunting has begun, report immediately if there is a situation." β
This is the outermost guard soldier, a hundred soldiers from the base, all scattered along the entire road, starting from the base twelve kilometers to the east, there are ten mobilized soldiers hiding on the side of the road every two kilometers. Thirty kilometers away from the base, it is the 10th team of mobilized soldiers responsible for reconnaissance missions. The leader of the team was a sergeant squad leader, the same officer who had just given the order.
"Start preparing."
As the sergeant's order was given, the otherwise quiet grass began to get busy. Three long boxes were placed on the ground and opened, and in the thick smell of gun oil, three RPG bazookas were carefully taken out.
The wooden box on the side was also opened, and in the cardboard partition, nine rockets were placed.
Just as they began to prepare, the mobilized soldiers who were reconnoitring a kilometer away were already waiting.
Two hours later, dust and smoke began to appear at the end of the road, and in a short time, several pickup trucks appeared in the binoculars of the mobilized soldiers, and behind the pickup trucks, some armed men were still sitting.
"The prey has appeared."
The sergeant quickly received this message.
Three soldiers, carrying bazookas, hid in the weeds on the slope, all crouched on one knee at the sergeant's gesture, aiming at the road below the slope.
In less than a minute, the pickup trucks arrived, and the armed men on the trucks had no idea what was happening on the hillside, and by the time the rocket launchers pulled their tail flames and smashed into the convoy, the people in the cars did not know what was happening.
The entire body of the three pickup trucks in the front was blown over, and the wreckage and blood of the cars were splashed in the dust and smoke.
As soon as the soldiers in the pickup truck in the back jumped out of the car, the bullets killed them.
It was a successful ambush, and by the time the other Shili fighters arrived, there was no one left. At the front, the assault continued.
A few hours later, many shili also received the news that their own people had been attacked, and the heads of the shili were furious.
At dusk, Bossaso began to boil unusually well, and a large number of cars drove out of the city, one after another, heading west along the road.
