Muhammadi's words made the otherwise relaxed atmosphere suddenly tense.

With an attitude of being aloof, many shili leaders have flashed anger in their eyes, if it weren't for a trace of rational restraint, I'm afraid they would have pulled out their guns and killed the guy in front of them who didn't know what to do.

They admit that Muhammadi's words are not bluffing, but they do not give them face in the slightest when they say it so bluntly, and they are very unhappy with such an attitude.

Yes, the attack just now is to make these people a little overwhelmed, but as long as the time is long and the scene is controlled, it is impossible to say who wins and who loses. Even if you can get out of the nest, none of these people will eat dry food. With your shili, you want to shake everyone, it's a fool's dream.

"You also have to make it clear that you brought up the dialogue, and don't think that we are helpless, you know, as soon as we give the order, tens of thousands of troops will be gathered here, and when the time comes, I will see how strong your walls are to withstand a few rounds of shelling." Muladi, who had a more violent temper, said angrily, "Also, don't take the farah out, we have been well water all these years, and even if he is not small, he has not yet reached the point where he can order us." Face can be given, but you'd better not continue to test our bottom line of tolerance. ”

"I'll admit that all your soldiers are good, but to threaten us with this, you're wrong, and wildly wrong. We people, who can be here zhanzhu, who is not the one who has rolled through the sea of swords and fire several times, those tricks of yours are too naïve to use against us. ”

"Since you proposed the dialogue, we also talked to you in order to reduce unnecessary casualties, not on our own initiative. So, please state the purpose and don't beat around the bush. ”

……

Muhammadi heard a lot of smells, and he also understood that he could not stimulate these people in the future, otherwise, not only would the goal not be achieved, but his own life would probably be in danger.

"Since everyone has no patience, I'll talk about it." Muhammadi shrugged his shoulders and said, "Actually, we have all been deceived, this is a conspiracy, a conspiracy that can wipe us all out. ”

"What a conspiracy!" Chief Mozabi seemed to have an understanding in his heart, and couldn't help but ask out loud.

"Let me take my time, where does it start? Let's start talking about it ten days ago. Muhammadi pondered and said, "Ten days ago, our 'respectable' Minister of Armed Forces of Bossaso, Mr. Awel, sent a team of soldiers to my territory to collect taxes. That is, the taxes on armed men and the use of land. ”

"No, you're Somali, what reason does he have to ask you for these taxes against foreigners." Mozabi wondered.

"You don't have to be like this, I'm afraid you all know that I have a Chinese thing here. Mr. Li Lan was an advisor I had invited from China thousands of miles away, not only to help me train my soldiers, but also to help me plan my territory. Because of some personal problems before, Mr. Li Lan was helping me deal with them externally, which also made Awell think that everything that belonged to me was Mr. Li Lan's. So, I want to come and collect taxes.

If this kind of thing is put on you, I'm afraid everyone will be the same as me, if even Somalis have to pay such extremely harsh taxes, then how can we survive today, everyone has to pay millions or even tens of millions of dollars in taxes every month, so no one can stand it. This included me, so I sternly refused at that time, and repeatedly emphasized that this is my own territory, and there is no need to pay taxes that do not belong to me.

Let's talk about whether I have any reason to do this. Muhammadi looked unhappy and pulled the people together with him in his words.

More than a dozen shili chiefs couldn't help but nod, and they certainly understood how harsh this tax on foreigners in Somalia was. If this tax were to be directed at the whole of Somalia, no one would be able to afford it, except for the rebels who would not pay the tax. Naturally, they all shared Mohammadi's words.

However, these people are not so easy to fool.

"What's next?"

"Aren't you all curious about how these soldiers of mine came here?" After asking, Muhammadi did not wait for their reply, but explained to himself: "These are all brought for me by my brother, whether it is weapons or funds, it is provided by my brother. Even Mr. Li Lan was introduced by my younger brother that I was able to invite him from all over the world here. ”

In order to complete the task assigned by Li Lan, Muhammadi even pulled out his younger brother, whom he had not seen for several years, and when he talked about these lies, his face was not red, his heart did not beat, and no trace was revealed.

Seeing that these people did not interrupt him, Muhammadi continued: "Earlier I said that Awei sent a group of soldiers to collect taxes, but I refused. At that time, because of the disparity in strength, the soldiers did not dare to offend and left directly.

I thought it was going to be like this, but I was naïve about everything. It was also yesterday that I learned that Weishenme would have such a situation.

Someone in Bossaso deliberately spread rumors that I have piles of gold, countless munitions, and factories that stretch out, and even military factories, and that guns and ammunition can be manufactured by ourselves. Seriously, even I was very moved to hear these rumors, and if these rumors were not spoken of by me, I'm afraid I would be like you. ”

Zuihou said that Muhammadi did not say it directly, he knew that this was enough.

When they heard Muhammadi's words, everyone's faces changed slightly, and just as Mozabi was about to say something about it, Muhammadi's voice came again.

"Of course, I'm not saying that everyone is attracted by rumors, even if it's part of the reason, I can understand everyone, because my thoughts are not much different from everyone, and if it were me, I wouldn't be able to help it.

However, I firmly believe that there is another reason for this, that is, all of your soldiers who came to investigate the situation were attacked, and none of them were spared, which led to this unfortunate thing that should not have happened.

Combined with the news that Mr. Farah gave me, I had a guess that all this was nothing more than a conspiracy by government forces. It all started with rumors, and attacking your subordinates was the design of the haode fuse. ”

At this point, Muhammadi's voice changed and he continued: "Of course, if you don't believe me, then I can't do anything. Also, if my territory is really as rumored to be, do you think that with someone as greedy as Avel, he will let you get the first place? You know, no one knew how many troops I had under my command at that time, and Awei, who had tens of thousands of troops, would let me go of my piece of cake? If he doesn't come and spread the news, he doesn't worry that I'm the kind of person who is vulnerable, and before he arrives, all the good things in it will be divided by you. You must know that Liliang, who is united, even he is afraid of it, and he will not fail to understand this truth. ”

Muhammadi's words moved everyone. It wasn't that they hadn't thought of it before, but they hadn't thought so thoroughly, and they had a preconceived idea that there must be a lot of good things inside the wall in front of them, which led to a lot of lack when thinking about the problem.

And Muhammadi's words immediately made everyone react, and also made everyone's hearts tremble.

On the side, Muhammadi, who saw the effect, planned to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and continued to speak: "Ladies and gentlemen, in fact, the matter is very simple, and the minister has a very good idea. As soon as the conflict arises, no matter who wins or loses, he is the winner. For him, the current lose-lose situation is the most ideal outcome. As long as we continue to fight, there is no need for us to divide the winners and losers, and the government forces will come and wipe us out. ”

"In that case, can you explain that you Weishenme have so many weapons for sale in Bossaso, and what are those buildings that look like factories inside?"

In fact, these shili chiefs have almost believed what Muhammadi said, but there are still some who do not give up.

"Those are just handicraft workshops, there is no so-called arsenal at all, and these weapons and equipment are all parts that my brother bought from abroad, and then we assembled them ourselves. You all know how hard it is to build an arsenal, especially in Somalia, where we can't even produce screws, let alone sophisticated lathes and raw materials. If assembling some weapons is an arsenal, then you have a lot of arsenals at home! ”

"Oh well! What do you want to do now, do you want us to join hands, sing hymns together, and forget about the scene of life and death before. Muradi said.

"We have no intention of making enemies of you, and we have a common enemy before us. As the saying goes, the enemy of our enemies is our friends, but we also take into account your emotions, and it is not possible to let go of hatred in a sentence or two. The purpose of my visit today is to hope that you will stop for the time being, and when the grievances between me and the government forces have been resolved, we will come back to deal with the problems between us. At that time, it will be up to you whether you want to continue to fight or make peace.

Of course, if you want to unite with the government forces and work together against me, then I have nothing to say. However, I believe that you also understand that it is much better to have one more friend who can face a common enemy than one more enemy. ”

When Muhammadi had finished speaking, the scene became quiet.

"We need to talk about it." More than a dozen people walked over in unison, discussed in a whisper, and it didn't take long for the answer to come out.

After receiving the answers from these people, Mohammadi smiled.
