The 3rd UAV Squadron, part of the U.S. Africa Command, is located in the Kansas Air Force Base on the U.S. mainland.

In the UAV squadron base, when the UAV's information processing personnel sent the clear-code telegram to the squadron commander, the major commander's head skyrocketed.

"Bastard, you were found at such a distance." After cursing, the major commander asked, "Did you intercept the opponent's radar data?" ”

"I'm sorry sir, the other side didn't turn on the active radar, and we didn't find the other party's radar data." The drone information processor reluctantly reported: "They use passive search radar, and we have no more ways to do this." ”

"What bullshit exercises, not even the active radar is turned on." The subordinate's answer made the major very unhappy.

He hadn't forgotten that more than a year ago, four Predators were buried in this area, shot down by the other side's damned Red Flag Nine. And so far, they have not collected detailed data on the Hongqi-9, especially on the radar.

In particular, the annoying set of passive radars has already made the commander not know how many scoldings from his superiors. If it weren't for the fact that considering his excellent performance since his service, the major on his shoulder would have been replaced by a captain, or even a lieutenant.

"Sir, are we going to get closer?" The drone operator asked.

"Come closer, but don't enter the other party's exercise area, I don't believe it yet. Turn on all the electronic signal collection devices and record whatever you find. The Major had no choice but to make this choice. When he received this order to gather intelligence, Shangfeng confessed. In the case that the top management is not ready to haode, do not break out a conflict with the other party for the time being.

――――――

A large helicopter in blue and white paint from the exercise site to the base. Slowly flying towards the base.

It was an ordinary-looking helicopter, unarmed, and nothing remarkable other than a wide fuselage. Inside the helicopter, however, it is a different world, which can only be summed up by the word luxury. Even if you compare the landline of the president of the United States, it is not inferior.

This helicopter is Li Lan's special car, just like his special stretch car. In addition to luxury, it can also be a mobile command center, which is completely a mobile command center. This is one of the four vehicles that the base has prepared for Li Lan, as well as a special ship and a large fixed-wing aircraft.

Don't underestimate this seemingly innocuous helicopter, which is full of a lot of base technology. It also has a number of built-in defensive weapons, although it does not have the ability to attack, it can defend against eight incoming missiles at the same time, and twelve built-in anti-missile missiles.

"Sir, if you really shoot down the American plane. Isn't that a perfect excuse for the United States to hit us? ”

In Farah's view, whether or not they enter the exercise area, according to US hegemonism, this kind of thing is already challenging the bottom line of US hegemony. When the time comes, the United States will bite back. It is not impossible to send troops directly. After all, in many times, the United States has made many excuses for fighting wars. After he heard what Li Lan said at the headquarters. I've been worried. Shortly after the helicopter departed, I couldn't help but ask.

"The moment we rise begins. and the United States are destined to be opposites. It doesn't matter if you use excuses or not, everything depends on whether the United States wants it or not. Li Lan said lightly.

"Then we don't need to give each other an excuse!" Farah asked rhetorically.

"It's not an excuse. The United States will not make such an excuse either. Otherwise, the United States and Iran would have fought a long time ago, and Iran would not have intercepted American drones in a day or two. Our current influence may not be as huge as Iran's, but if the United States wants to attack us, it also needs to carefully weigh whether it is worth it. Li Lan was unwavering and asked: "Are you afraid of going against the United States and NATO?" ”

Hearing Li Lan's words, Farah was a little relieved in his heart, and for his Zuihou question, Farah shook his head firmly, and said: "I said a long time ago that if I can ensure the life of the Somali people, even if I am the enemy of Quanshijie, I will not be afraid, even if I cooperate with the devil, I am willing." Not to mention that the chief is so haode, what reason do I have to be afraid. Death is nothing but a skin. This spirit and will will be passed down forever. ”

Li Lan nodded, and did not dwell on this topic anymore, but asked, "How are the preparations for the reunification negotiations?" ”

"It's all arranged." Farah nodded, then spoke again, and asked with some curiosity, "Sir, do you think they will send someone over?" ”

"It doesn't matter if you come or not, this peace talks are destined to be fruitless, if you come, we can also have a little more time to prepare, and if we don't come, it won't affect us. As long as it occupies the commanding heights of public opinion, nothing else matters. In Li Lan's view, the negotiations are just an excuse for sending troops, and whether or not the substance of the talks is reached, the reunification of Somalia relies on force, not on the negotiating table. Because, what he needs, no matter which shili it is, cannot be given.

Somalia only needs one regime, only one arm, and it is not acceptable for him to have the other shili and governments disarm everything. And Li Lan will not change this principle, so naturally there is only one way to fight. Since they are all about fighting, the negotiation is not so important to the territory. Everything is just a reasonable excuse to send troops to occupy the general interests of the nation.

"I see." Farah nodded cautiously, but he still had many questions in his heart, and couldn't help but ask, "Sir, what are you going to do with those stubborn tribes?" ”

"And what do you think is going to do about it?" Li Lan did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically. He is well aware that the situation in Somalia is extremely complex, and that if it were not for his existence, the problem of turmoil in Somalia would not have been resolved even in a few decades.

"I haven't figured it out yet, because it's so hard to reconcile." Farah shook his head helplessly and said, "Tribal strife is too difficult. Somalia now has two major ethnic groups, seven major clans, and dozens of tribal branches, which are based on kinship. The historical conflicts between them are difficult to reconcile, which is one of the important factors in the division of the country to this point. After the fall of the Siad regime in 91. The warlords based on the tribal shili were divided and turned against each other. For 22 years, this has been the case, creating a terrible spectacle of 'all against all', and Somalia has since been branded as a 'failed state'. Although many international organizations, including the United Nations, the African Union, the League of Arab States and IGAD, have hosted 12 dialogues on tribal reconciliation, order restoration and government reconstruction, most of them have been in vain. The intervention of international Shili has further complicated the situation in Somalia. ”

"It's the same root, why is it too anxious!" Li Lan naturally understands the problem here, and when she thinks back to the 5,000-year history of China, she feels it very deeply in her heart.

Farah spoke again: "In the past, I rarely thought about these issues, but now. These are the main factors that stand in our way. The Dior tribes of Somaliland, the alliance of more than a dozen tribes in Puntland, and the southwestern Somalia of southwestern clans, also commonly known as the southwestern country of Somalia, support nearly 20 large and small forces organized by Islamist sects, as well as more than a dozen tribes that make up the current Somali government. These tribes are actually the shili we need to pacify. ”

In the cabin, the conversation between Li Lan and Farah also attracted everyone's attention, and after Farah finished speaking, Mohammadi also continued: "Tribal matters. is extremely difficult to reconcile. They occupy resource-rich areas, form large and small alliances, and dump each other. These tribes find no trait other than selfishness. Exclusion and massacres are commonplace. In the past, the eight tribes around Bossaso were the most obvious representatives. They are stronger than the average armed shili, and the clan armed forces are also united. Own economy and source of weapons. In the face of such shili, I think. It must be wiped out in one go. Don't give them any chance to resist. ”

Speaking of this, Muhammadi rarely showed a strong killing intent, and continued: "When Awei exterminated those eight tribes, we can learn from the methods used. ”

Farah, who was next to him, heard Mohammadi's words and his heart trembled. He knew very well that if Li Lan had listened to Muhammadi's advice, hundreds of thousands of people would have died in the massacre. However, when he wanted to refute, he didn't know how to speak. Cutting through the mess quickly, kindness will only make the situation uncontrollable, so he is silent.

"Is there no other way?" Li Lan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said: "There is no clan that can be wooed, and there is no clan that has the same interests as us and willingly joins our big family." In the territory, it is not that there are no tribes, and now they are not all the same as all the inhabitants? ”

Hearing Li Lan's words, Farah explained aloud: "Sir, this is completely different. The power has rotted their souls, and they have become completely different from the small tribes in our realm. On one side, each of them is the king of the mountain, and it is impossible to let them return to the common people and become obedient people. Even those tribes who share our ideals will find it difficult to accept our rule willingly, but want to be the ruling party. Those tribes who are accustomed to killing and taking are less likely to accept domination. ”

"That means that after the war begins, killing is inevitable." Li Lan said calmly.

Farah shook his head and said, "Not really, among the Somalis outside the territory, these tribes account for one-tenth of the total population, and this tenth, but the vast majority of Liliang. If we want to unify Somalia, we must exterminate these tribes, and we are confident that ordinary Somalis will be convinced.

The campaign started four days ago, and in every city and cluster, we have people working on it. Refugee areas in Kenya and Ethiopia have also sent people there. Under the propaganda of public opinion, coupled with the influence that the territory has built up over the years, ordinary people have a great response to us. As long as I go through another half a month of publicity, I am confident that 80 percent of the people will fall to our side. At present, civilians outside the territory are very much looking forward to the reunification negotiations we have initiated.

And for the tenths of the clan core, we can't do anything. The honor and existence of the tribe is deeply ingrained in their blood, and once a conflict breaks out between the two sides, no matter how much we give them, they will not appreciate it, and these people will always be a time bomb. ”

"Farah is right, for those civilians, we can co-opt, and for those tribal forces, I think we can use the Aweel method, take iron-blooded measures." Muhammadi chimed in.

"Aren't you two burdened when you say such things?" After getting the response from the two, Li Lan couldn't help but ask. You must know that in any case, these tribes also belong to the Somalis, and giving him such an opinion is really a bit unexpected by Li Lan. Thinking about it from another perspective, Li Lan thought that she couldn't say such a thing.

Muhammadi sighed deeply and explained helplessly: "Their hearts have long been corrupted by the devil, and the chief has not seen with his own eyes how they treat other Somalis. Destroying villages and slaughtering towns is just a common thing. I remember one time when a tribe slaughtered thousands of Somalis who had come to collect food in order to steal food from a United Nations aid station. After that, they returned to the tribe with the blood-stained grain. Leaving behind a pile of mosquito-infested corpses. ”

"Do you know how many people will die under the iron hooves of the army as long as I give the order." Li Lan asked again.

Farah naturally knew very well what Li Lan wanted to express, although he was sad in his heart, he also knew how to make a trade-off, "I support Mohammadi, for the stability of tens of millions of Somalis, it is better to leave a scourge to those tribes who cannot be converted, it is better to be decisive." ”

"I see." Li Lan nodded lightly, even if there were no two of them, Li Lan had no intention of leaving any enemies.

Li Lan is not clear about the tribal issue in Somalia, and he has already made a decision in his heart. He asked these questions specifically to hear the opinions of the two. I thought that the two would persuade him not to take the butcher knife lightly, but he didn't expect the result to be completely opposite. Although the deep sadness can be clearly seen on the faces of the two, the answers of the two are very affirmative.

Since the two of them took the initiative to raise this point to him, it was the same as his original intention, so far, Li Lan didn't plan to say anything more. For the sake of stability in the future, any cancer and instability must be resolutely eliminated, and it is also necessary to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.

What about the bloody rain!
