To the south of Bagua City, a concrete road runs through the Surud Mountains and connects Bagua City to Erigabo.

There was originally a dirt road here, which has long since disappeared due to disrepair. In order to speed up the rapid circulation between the two places, Li Lan re-planned the road and built a four-lane expressway that winded along the foot of the Surud peak, which took nearly a year to build and several tunnels of several hundred meters to be excavated. There is always a payoff, and the distance between the two places is nearly 150 kilometers less than the detour, and it only takes half an hour for a truck to reach another city from one city.

And halfway up this road, another mysterious passage was built, which was always set up with roadblocks and guarded by troops. Non-military vehicles are impassable, and tribes familiar with the terrain know that the direction of this fork in the road is under the peak of Mount Surud, a huge valley, which is covered by mostly human-high vegetation all year round, and is a gathering place for poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, even tribes that rely on hunting for their livelihood generally do not dare to go there. It is also called the Valley of Poisonous Snakes by the people around it, and the venomous snakes unique to Africa can basically be found here.

After occupying the war area, Li Lan strictly forbade the residents to hunt at will, maintained a little ecological balance, and set a fixed hunting season every year, and the rest of the time, hunting was a crime. This area is also planned as a forbidden area. And all around this snake valley are cordoned off, and there are a large number of patrol teams patrolling every day, and military dogs are also walking around the surrounding mountains.

Early in the morning, under the slightly cool air, accompanied by two off-road vehicles. An extended sedan pulled into the fork in the road from this highway, saluted by the soldiers on duty. The convoy slowly drove towards the mountain.

In the car, Li Lan was not idle. There's been a lot going on lately, and he's taking a long time out of his day to deal with matters within his realm. The busyness is mainly focused on the military side and intelligence, and many things need to be judged by him.

Natasha and Tanya, who assisted him in dealing with these things on the side, also kept briefing Li Lan on the recent situation. The car was extremely quiet, and the two of them reported very clearly.

"At present, the infantry of the various units has been allocated ammunition according to two bases, and the fire support units have been allocated to five bases, and the logistics departments of the units. Replenishment of ammunition has also been deployed. ”

"The 1st and 2nd Armored Brigades have completed their training missions, all the soldiers who have taken turns to rest have been recalled, and all types of equipment have entered the stage of rest and recuperation. The 1st and 2nd Mechanized Infantry Brigades also completed their training missions and went to rest and recuperate. At present, the 1st Armoured Brigade and the 1st Mechanized Infantry Brigade will be stationed in the barracks outside the city of Erigabo within two days, and the 2nd Armoured Brigade and the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Brigade will also arrive in the city of Kalin at the same time. ”

"After the exercise, the 1st Heavy Division rested on the spot and waited for supplies, and all the live ammunition was replaced. Air forces are also in a state of high combat readiness. On the take-off runway, at least eight fighters with live ammunition will be kept ready to fly at all times. ”

"The First Fleet of the Navy, which is also at the stage of integration in Zuihou. It is expected that in half a month, it will have the ability to go to sea to perform tasks. Currently, sailors and officers of various ships. It's all in place, and it's going through the familiarization phase of zuihou. ”

"Intelligence. We have always had several operational reports and useful intelligence from the intelligence services here. So far, the intelligence services have planted spies in various Shili in Somalia. have achieved the ideological intentions of some key figures in the major shili. Represented by the current president of Somaliland, according to the information sent back by Spy No. 47, the chief of Kahin, who is in charge of the first clan in Somaliland, has begun to have a willingness to surrender to us. There is also a heart to accept the policies of our territory. However, the Dir tribe, led by the Somaliland military, has begun to expand its army, apparently to fight and prepare to confront us. ”

"According to the information from the forty-eighth spy on the Puntland side, the Puntland National Assembly, after three days of resolution, still did not reach any conclusion. The current President of Puntland, Abdullahi. Yusuf. Instead of surrendering, Akak stood on the side of resolute resistance. More than half of the Puntland parliament believes that peace talks should be opened, and a small number believe that reunification talks must be rejected.

According to the information collected on the 48th, up to now, under the propaganda of public opinion, there are already 31 Puntland tribes who have the intention of surrendering. Two-thirds of Puntland's 1.2 million people are in total, and almost a quarter remain neutral. ”

"The shili who has responded to them the most is South-West Somalia, and the current president of South-West Somalia has already appointed a representative who will come to the territory in the near future to discuss reunification and peace talks. The President of Southwestern Countries, Abu Dhabi, also expressed his sincere gratitude for the contribution we have made in Somalia. Hopefully, we can play a greater role in rescuing more Somalis. ”

"The Islamic group issued a statement to us this morning, pointing out very bluntly that as long as we can guarantee their rights and interests and do not disband their armed forces, they will sincerely engage in reunification peace talks with us."

"The current Somali government issued a very strong statement today to protest our transgression, and yesterday, once again submitted a document to the United Nations to protest China's interference in Somalia's internal affairs, hoping to get international support."

"The U.S. side passed the "Third Resolution on Support for Somalia" in Congress today, and according to this resolution, the United States will quickly provide the nominal government of Somalia with a batch of decommissioned weapons and equipment worth more than $1 billion, as well as three decommissioned offshore patrol ships. and organized personnel to help Somali nominal government soldiers master the use of these weapons and equipment. ”

In the next six months, the US Air Force will add two additional air wings in Africa, including an F-15 fighter wing and a strategic bomber wing, and an F-22 fighter wing as appropriate to strengthen the presence of the Arabian Peninsula Air Force. On the naval side, the Fifth Fleet will soon be in the waters near the Suez Canal in the Mediterranean, and the Sixth Fleet will move out of the Gulf and into the Indian Ocean. On the land side, the U.S. military will add a complete heavy division unit in Africa. The location of the camp has not yet been determined. ”

"China and Russia are also speaking out at the same time today, hoping that all parties will exercise restraint. At the same time, the Russian nuclear-powered cruiser Peter the Great had set sail and was on its way to the Gulf of Aden. On the Chinese side, two Type 052C missile destroyers, a Type 071 amphibious dock landing ship, and two Type 054A frigates will form an amphibious formation and come to the Gulf of Aden to strengthen the overall strength of the current escort formation in the Gulf of Aden. ”

"The French Foreign Legion also announced last evening that the French Foreign Legion officially cooperated with the American company Blackwater, and the two companies have accepted the legal employment of the nominal Somali government, and the two companies will send mercenaries into Somalia to assist the nominal Somali government, and the employment will last for half a year."

"On the part of the French government, new military developments have also been drawn up, the French Navy is already being reared, the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle has accelerated maintenance, and the marines have also canceled their vacations."

"Italian ......"

……

In just three days, dozens of pieces of information were remitted, each of which was closely related to the current situation in Somalia.

The military preparations on their own side are secondary, and the reaction of the major shili in Somalia, under the reaction of the Shijie countries, is completely discolored. Early in the morning, he received so much information against him, which made Li Lan really a little surprised.

The reaction of the United States, France, and Italy was very normal in Li Lan's view. The swaggering announcement of these things is nothing more than an expression of concern about the matter, increasing military pressure, and warning him that it is better not to mess around.

As for China's reaction, Li Lan could also shake his head helplessly, he had already asked the other party not to come to troubled waters, as for what China should do, it was not up to him to decide. Of course, Li Lan is also sure that China will not really get involved for him, just as the No. 1 leader said, just to save his own life when the time comes.

On the Russian side, Li Lan does not feel too much, and whenever he feels that there are interests to be made, Russians are indispensable.

As for the military liliang that the United States intends to increase, Li Lan has to be concerned. For the time being, there is an F-22 fighter wing stationed in the Arabian Peninsula, with a total of 36 F-22 Raptors, and the B-2 stealth bombers in the United States and the B-1 bomber wing stationed in Egypt are all impossible for Li Lan to ignore.

Although the Black Hawk fighter is a very advanced fighter, it means that in the fourth-generation fighter, against the fifth-generation heavy fighter such as the F-22 Raptor, to be honest, Li Lan has no bottom in his heart. Once there was an aerial encounter that he didn't want to see, he really didn't expect much from the Black Hawk. At the beginning, in the simulated battle between the F-22 and the F-15, the record reached more than 100 to one.

He is confident that the performance of the Black Hawk fighter is not inferior to any fourth-generation fighter at all, even if the Russian Su-35 is coming, he is not afraid. But for an opponent with a whole generation difference, many times it is not possible to use force. It is equivalent to a duel between a blind man of an ordinary person and a martial arts master who is able-bodied, and the Black Hawk fighter is the blind man, and naturally there is only a tragic result.

Of course, modern warfare is not about the performance of a single piece of equipment, and Li Lan will naturally not be stupid enough to send Black Hawk fighters to confront the US military's Raptor planes. However, if they meet by accident, it can only depend on the will of God.

At the same time, at the level of the strategic air force, it is also a sore point in Li Lan's heart now, until now, the base has not yet had the ability to produce bombers and large transport aircraft, and the accumulation of jishu has not met the requirements. (To be continued......)
