Chapter 385: Datang's High Welfare Concept!
East Asia is in his hands, but Li Su is not satisfied with this, his goal is to establish a global unified empire, and after several generations of efforts to make the world out of the current ignorance and ignorance, accept modern knowledge, and become a country of integration, but he also understands that this matter has a long way to go, but he has been working hard, for example, the current Wa Kingdom has begun to learn the culture and history of the Tang Dynasty, and this Korean Peninsula will be next.
Sun Dongxu's words revealed his true thoughts at the end, now that the Wa Kingdom and the Korean Peninsula have been stabilized, he wants to go to Central Asia and Europe with Qin Huaiyu and others, after all, it is the main battlefield of the colonial war, and the Korean Peninsula and the Wa Kingdom together are about five million people, there is no need to leave a fleet here, and the nobles in these two places have long been frightened by the Tang Dynasty's army and dare not try to resist again.
Li Su thought for a while and agreed to Sun Dongxu's request, this place in East Asia is just such a place in the end, just send some officials from Yizhou to the Korean Peninsula and the supervision of the Japanese State, Central Asia and Europe are the main problems, take the population, they also account for more than half of the world, and the cultural differences between each other are big, it is indeed very troublesome, and although Li Su has been recruiting troops to expand the number of troops, but the strength is still limited, now the Japanese State has left 4,000 people to be stationed, and the Korean Peninsula has left 6,000 people to be stationed, They cannot be moved as a deterrent, and in this case, the number of troops to be recruited is equivalent to a small number.
However, Li Su also has his own plans, the problem of the number of troops can only be made up for by equipment, now Luo Anguo has been well-known by the Tang people, and it will not be doubtful to engage in some advanced things, he wants to partially improve the equipment level of the Yizhou army, such as the production of steel warships, and the allocation of machine guns and military vehicles to the troops, so that a small number of troops can be used to control some places.
ended the call with Sun Dongxu. Li Su went to the Australian base again, and now the war in Somalia is about to break out, but he is still in a wait-and-see period for the time being, so he simply ran between the Australian base and Yizhou during this time, which mainly asked the Australian base to produce a new round of equipment for the Yizhou army to replace the old equipment, so that it can be easier in the process of conquering Central Asia and Europe.
And the oil problem in Somalia has given Li Su a reminder that since the Middle East can rely on stones to feed hundreds of millions of people in the Middle East and give them such high welfare, then why can't he rely on selling oil to make money to improve Datang's life, so that Datang's welfare standards can reach the level of Western developed countries. In the final analysis, the root cause of the world's chaos is poverty, as long as poverty is eradicated, everyone can enjoy favorable material conditions, and there is no need to fight for limited resources, so the society can develop to a higher level of civilization. People will focus on the pursuit of knowledge, rather than being busy every day just to make money.
Thinking of this, Li Su suddenly had a direction to struggle, and he didn't know what kind of changes this high welfare would have in Datang after it was implemented. It's just that it seems that Somalia is still standing in the way of this high welfare, as long as he controls Somalia, he can sell oil, then the 30 million people in Somalia plus Datang will usher in a new way of life.
"Your Highness." Looking at Li Su, who suddenly appeared in the command room, Li Ran opened his mouth to say hello. "You have come just in time when the AU army has begun to march towards Gadaro and the war has begun."
Li Su looked at the army moving on the screen and was silent. In the past few days, he has been thinking about the high welfare society, and the stumbling block in Somalia is the-stirring stick that blocks this plan, on the screen, the soldiers of the African Union are traveling in armored vehicles, tanks, trucks and other motor vehicles, and there are many white people mixed in the army of the African Union, these are mercenaries from the Western world, and their equipment is indeed much better than that of the African Union army.
Coming back to his senses, Li Su said: "It's good to start, I'm waiting for this day!" ”
Li Ran said: "Our army is all hidden, and the people of country M can't find a clue at all these days, and they bombed Gadaro to the bottom, causing many refugees to be killed and injured. ”
"How can there still be refugees?" Li Su frowned and said.
"These are some refugees who have only recently arrived, and they don't know that the vast majority of refugees have moved to stay in this place."
Li Su sighed, it was the people who were fighting back and forth in the end, the town of Gadaro in the picture was already in ruins, surrounded by smoke and flames, and Li Su felt a pain in his flesh, but as the so-called old ones don't go, and the new ones don't come, he will let Western countries pay for him to rebuild a brand new Gadaro.
"This time we're not just going to have Gadaro, we're going to want Mogadishu." Li Su said word by word.
Li Ran looked at Li Su with some surprise, "Has His Highness lost his patience?" Ready to build a state? ”
With a slight bow, Li said: "If we do not eliminate the transitional government, we will always be rebels, and we will force the West to recognize us as the new Somali regime." ”
"This is also a way, the rebels in many African countries were not recognized at first, and after defeating the government, they were not recognized by Western countries, they still want the resources of this country, and they don't care who rules this country, give them some resistance, and they will change their position." Li Ran echoed.
Li Su sat down on a chair and said, "We will attack at night, and the advantages brought by the night vision device should not be in vain, let them occupy it during the day for a while." ”
"Okay." Li Ran showed a hint of a smile.
At the same time, the battle was broadcast live in the world's media, and journalists from many countries followed the army, who met little resistance along the way, until the African Union troops and mercenaries cheered after the capture of Gadaro.
"I'm afraid the rebels were already scared and peed their pants and fled." An AU soldier said with a laugh at the camera.
One soldier poked his head into the camera, "They must have been blown to powder by the daytime bombardment, hahaha......"
Elizabeth moved the camera away in disgust, she decided in her heart that this was an unjust war, so she also had contempt for these troops, he was reporting on the deaths and injuries of refugees throughout the whole process, and was not interested in such a result, but she vaguely felt that things would not be so simple, so far she had not seen the body of a single Peace Front soldier, if it was really blown up, at least the broken military uniform could still be seen.
The war went too smoothly, and the political leaders of the Western countries cheered, they simply looked down on the army of this country, in their eyes Somalia was just their colony, and this transitional government was just a regime they supported, without any real rights, and once they occupied the central region, they could let the oil companies come in to produce a lot of oil for them, but the sign was still Somalia.
Departing from Mogadishu in the morning and following the road, it was already evening when the AU troops arrived in Gadaro, and after confirming that there were no soldiers from the Peace Front in Gadaro, they chose to rest in this place for the night and return to the base the next day, but not everyone was stupid, and some mercenary organizations were still skeptical, just because it was too smooth, but despite this, they still thought that it was impossible for an organization like the Peace Front to take the initiative to attack them. ”
When night fell, Somalia was wrapped in darkness, and after nightfall, under the cover of night, the Terminator and the indigenous soldiers began to assemble quickly from all directions, and they all wore goggle-like night vision devices at this time, and the Humvee military vehicles did not need to turn on the lights at all in the dark, so that their actions could not be detected by others.
The attention of Li Su and Li Ran in the base was also highly concentrated, their eyes were always staring at the big screen, Li Su saw the scattered red spots moving rapidly, and soon all gathered in the desert near Daro, "Attack at twelve o'clock at midnight." Li Ran gave the order, because people were the most sleepy at this time.
Outside the city of Gadaro, Kumasi led a regiment of troops, their equipment was very simple, heavy machine guns, automatic rifles, shoulder-mounted rocket launchers, mortars, this is their equipment, but the Terminator troops transferred later had powerful firepower, and a hundred self-propelled howitzers were ready thirty miles away, and these people were about to enjoy the taste of being covered by artillery fire.
As time passed, more and more troops gathered in the vicinity of Gadamaro, and they surrounded the ruined place with six regiments.
In the underground base, Li Su was also counting the time, and when the time reached twelve o'clock, Li Su ordered an artillery bombardment, the reserve troops in the underground base of this self-propelled howitzer truck, Li Su would definitely not release it during the day, but what he wanted was to be attacked by these automatic howitzers at night, and this group of people would probably be very depressed.
After Li Su's order to bombard was issued, a hundred self-howitzer trucks began to spit out tongues of fire, and shells poured down on Gadaro, and suddenly Gadaro turned into a sea of fire.
The African Union troops who were sleeping suddenly woke up, but it was too late at this time, in the face of fierce artillery fire, armored vehicles were destroyed, soldiers were engulfed in flames, their vulnerable side was exposed in the face of shelling, the soldiers scattered and fled, and those mercenaries, who showed experienced war experience, have found cover to hide, but this time is just the beginning, Kumasi led the matter to launch a ground offensive.
