Chapter 374

For a long time, Zhou Yuanqiang has achieved the ultimate in the security work of the training base, using a large number of monitors, sensors, and triggers arranged in the woods and grass. There are also mobile patrols, fixed sentry posts, and mobile sentry posts to ensure that no one can enter and leave the training base without permission.

The shielding system transplanted from the Chamber of Commerce has shielded the entire training base except for specific communication channels, and it is impossible to contact the outside world, even if it is a spy satellite, what is captured is seriously distorted information, and it is impossible to know everything in the training base.

From the establishment of the training base to the time when Zhou Yuanqiang served as the Minister of National Defense, he almost never stopped trying every means to obtain the intelligence inside.

Unfortunately, the training base is afraid to the extreme, and there are special reaction units, and they often only enter the range of the training base, first all communication devices cannot be used, and then before the direction is clear, helicopter gunships descend from the sky, and groups of mobile patrols appear in front of them.

So far, in the training base, hundreds of spy personnel are already being held. Their origins are complex, ranging from those sent by the Transitional Government, by some local officials of the Transitional Government, and more often by intelligence agents sent by the major Somali warlords.

Regarding the rise of Zhou Yuanqiang, a mainland immigrant, as long as he has a little brain, he knows that he can't think of coming here to do business, and he must have other purposes. But even if they want to break their heads, it is impossible to know what Zhou Yuanqiang's purpose is and what kind of ambition he has. They could only guess that Zhou Yuanqiang was a crazy businessman, like a hungry ghost who didn't choose to eat, as long as it was a mining right, he didn't care who owned it, and bought it all.

Hundreds of millions of dollars were dropped, the warlords were happy, the tribesmen were satisfied, and the religious parties laughed. seems to believe that Zhou Yuanqiang, a businessman, is nothing more than a fancy to the mining industry in Somalia, and wants to use Somalia's extremely cheap labor and mining rights like cabbage prices to make a fortune.

Then, the matter of the training base is logical, because with such a large industry, there should always be a little armed force to protect itself, right?

It was this misunderstanding that made them gradually give up the spy work on the training base, and in the next six months, the training base was spent in peace.

In the entire training base with 5,000 soldiers and 600 logistics personnel, for those who live in it, life is always spent in training and retraining for a year and a half. It was as if they were confined to it, and they hadn't even been out for a year and a half.

In order to allow them to train in it with peace of mind, Zhou Yuanqiang would appear in front of them on time on the last day of the month every month, with a box of US dollars, in front of the training ground, let them line up, and after the lecture, let them line up one by one to receive their monthly salary subsidy.

This method seems to be very stupid, but it is very effective, and after a month of hard training, it will always turn into a kind of happiness when receiving salary. Here, not only can they eat enough, but the food is very rich, there will be meat at every meal, and the quality of life is far beyond that of them.

Especially when they can get $50 a month and get the money, they will feel that everything is worth it.

Gambling is forbidden in the army, and their monthly money is compulsorily handed over to the soldiers' fund of the command for unified management and investment. Over the course of a year, each soldier's account has exceeded a thousand dollars, which is indeed a lot of wealth. The soldiers knew that the salary was only $700, and the 60% income allowed them to have thousands of dollars.

The training base implements a reward system, and any soldier who meets certain requirements, or completes the training task, will be rewarded to a greater or lesser extent.

After a year of training, the soldiers' salaries changed from $50 to $70 per month. Zhou Yuanqiang personally promised that once the training was completed, the most basic salary for a soldier would be $100. It is for this that all soldiers, whether they are tank crews, pilots, or infantrymen, are training with their lives.

This kind of treatment is simply out of their reach before, and no one wants to lose such an opportunity.

When Zhou Yuanqiang appeared in the training base again, all the soldiers in the entire training base except for the mobile patrol team gathered on the huge flat ground of the training ground.

A whole year and a half of wind and sun exposure has made their originally black skin even darker. Good food makes them extremely strong, everyone is full of spirit, definitely a group of guys with excess energy and want to find someone to vent.

To be honest, as long as he saw these 5,000 soldiers standing in front of him in a square formation, Zhou Yuanqiang had an impulse to be excited. Compared with the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Chamber of Commerce, these 5,000 soldiers are pitiful, but these 5,000 soldiers give themselves a greater sense of security.

The last days are like a game and a dream, and it is difficult to dissolve into them. Hyundai is different, he is completely born and raised in Hyundai, has an irreplaceable fusion into Hyundai, and is full of feelings. The single key is, everything in modern times, so that you can have a sense of reality that you can feel solidly.

This is just a feeling, or Zhou Yuanqiang's psychological effect is making trouble, not that the end of the world is a dream and a game, just look at the factories built in the steel park, the machines in them are all brought from the end of the world, aren't they real?

"Soldiers, I am glad that in a year and a half, you have completed the training of other soldiers for three years, and you are no longer a recruit, but a real soldier, a soldier. Looking at the world, apart from the armies of a few countries such as my motherland, even the United States, you are far inferior to them. ”

Hearing Zhou Yuanqiang's words, the soldiers held their chests even higher.

My own country is one of the poorest countries in the world, but the Somali people have the most hard-working spirit, just like the Governor's home country.

Zhou Yuanqiang said solemnly: "I believe the instructors have already told you that I will set up the Somali Ministry of Defense and devote myself to the cause of Somalia's reunification." And you, the foundation of the Ministry of Defence, are the elite soldiers who preach the Somali national system. Now is the time to test the results of your training. ”

The soldiers who had already received the news the day before were all excited, and under the dissolution of Zhou Yuanqiang, they quickly walked towards the camps as they had trained before.

In just half an hour, the first to assemble was naturally the helicopter gunship unit, and sixty helicopter gunships were on the training ground, arranged in six rows, with ten planes in each row. Soon after, in a loud roar, sixty Rhino tanks rumbled over, and in a moment they formed the same formation as helicopter gunships, six rows of ten.

A full hundred armored vehicles followed, and finally the ten phalanxes of heavily armed soldiers.

Yes, the next thing they have to train is a military parade exercise. Zhou Yuanqiang does not require them to be as powerful and neat as the world-famous military parade troops on the mainland, but they must at least have six or seven percent of the fire to show the world what the new Somali defense force is really like.

Military parades generally have the nature of deterrence, and at the same time, they also promote the country's strength and national well-being.

For Somalia today, civil strife is not going on, people are in deep trouble, and what they want most is peaceful reunification. However, the warlords and some parties ignore the voice of the people for their own interests, and naturally people hope that a powerful force will emerge to realize this dream.

Zhou Yuanqiang's purpose is very simple, that is, to use the military parade to show the whole of Somalia the power in his hands, and at the same time to show the world the difference in Somalia, attract more foreign investors to come, and show them that he has the ability to ensure the safety of their property in Somalia.

Another purpose is to deter the warlords of several major forces around them, so that they can clearly know that the power in their hands completely surpasses them, and whether to fight or make peace depends on how they decide. According to Zhou Yuanqiang's grasp of the situation, after all, the transitional government is a legitimate government recognized by the United Nations, and naturally has a huge advantage, like several independent regimes, which have previously expressed their willingness to accept the leadership of the Somali transitional government if the transitional government can lead Somalia out of its predicament.

Although his strength was completely exposed after the parade, Zhou Yuanqiang understood that the advantages definitely outweighed the disadvantages.

What's more, is this really all your own power? Don't forget the mountains of parts in the steel park, which only need to be assembled for the final assembly, is a powerful force that makes people breathless. Hundreds of tanks and hundreds of warplanes are among the great powers in Africa.

As for what the outside world thinks, for Zhou Yuanqiang, it doesn't matter, what matters is that Somalis believe they can bring them what they want.

June seems to be an explosive month for Somalia.

First of all, the annexation of the steel park, the largest enterprise in Somalia, followed by the armed demonstrations, then the Ministry of National Defense, which was born under the compromise, and then the successive projects of the high-tech park and the industrial park, the entire Mogadishu, which is rare for foreigners, is once again full of traces of foreigners.

After the two parks have not confirmed the winning bidder, it once again exploded that the Ministry of Defense held a military parade on July 1.

So the world began to be chaotic, and Somalia, which had been quiet for several years, was once again under wave after wave of shock. Somalis often have not digested a piece of news, and soon another piece of news will be thrown out and blow them up.

If it was said that it was committed to economic construction before, then the current military parade may mean that the situation in Somalia that has not seen a large-scale war for several years will come to an end. This ambitious defense minister, he is not only economically ambitious, even militarily, but also began to act.

For them, this magical Chinese will always be a news maker, constantly producing the news they need, so that they have endless topics to write, and at the same time, they are also making money to earn cramps. Behind this piece of news, there is a considerable bonus from the headquarters.

As soon as the news was formed, the Ministry of National Defense, which had only a temporary office, confirmed it, and one after another freshly baked manuscripts flew around the world, passed the review a few moments, and appeared on the first article on one website after another.

"Somali military parade?"

As long as everyone heard the news, they all thought that today would be April Fool's Day. The Somali transitional government itself is a joke, when the Ministry of Defense was first established, it was already a lot of people spraying rice, but now it is good, it has developed into a military parade.

The consequence of this incident is that countless people who read this post and know Somalia laughed so much that they threw themselves on the table one by one, slapped the table hard, and let out an earth-shattering laugh. That's right, the effect is the same as hearing an international joke, making them laugh.

Even the Somali people are starting to blush, isn't this a joke for people in the international community?

Zhou Yuanqiang, who was not a party, was even questioned by the president and the cabinet, although in the original compromise, they did not have the right to interfere in anything in the Ministry of National Defense, but they could not sit still in this kind of thing that lost the national unity. This country is a little poorer, a little weaker, or even a little bit of a nest, just endure it, but you don't need to take it out and be embarrassed, right?

Now the cabinet and parliament of the entire Somali transitional government, under Zhou Yuanqiang's powerful money offensive, have long fallen, ninety percent of the cabinet members have become their own side, as long as Zhou Yuanqiang is willing, the president and the speaker of parliament can be impeached and removed from office immediately.

Zhou Yuanqiang did not reply to their questions, but stepped up the training of the parade troops, and at the same time increased the number of tanks to 100, the number of helicopter gunships to 120, and 20 HY-2 fighters.

Like the countries of Western Europe, it is impossible to let themselves go, they know more or less the military strength of the training base, and they can only quickly cut the horses and control the southwestern and central parts of Somalia as soon as possible, and force the independent areas to return to the Somali banner. By then, even if the Western European countries reacted, there would have been nothing to do with them.

As for political pressure, or economic sanctions, for myself, it is simply a joke, is it really the factory behind the scenes of the Chamber of Commerce in the last days?

So people from all walks of life, all waiting to see the joke, in their waiting, July 1, Somalia's national day, finally belated.

Zhou Yuanqiang did not let them wait for a long time, in front of the former government avenue in the capital, in addition to mobilizing the police to maintain order, he also set up half of the security guards in the steel park to ensure the order and safety of the entire avenue. Without application, the peacekeeping troops also came to assist, especially a unit from the mainland, and the help was even greater.

At ten o'clock sharp. The whole parade officially began.

This military parade is different from the past, there are not too many flower troops, there are not too many popular troops, there are only three non-military phalanxes, representing industry, commerce and agriculture. After that, there were ten neat infantry phalanxes. Uniformly dressed and fully armed, as soon as they appeared, the people who were waiting to see the joke suddenly became dumbfounded, because this was not the tattered army they imagined at all, and the momentum of the phalanx was definitely not comparable to any army in Somalia.

As soon as the five phalanxes of 100 tanks roared appeared, hundreds of thousands of Somali onlookers finally boiled, and they hugged each other and shouted for joy, who doesn't want their country to be strong? And the steel monster in front of him is a display of military strength, letting the world know that the Somali army is not a joke, but has an almost full tank regiment.

The phalanx of tanks had just passed, and the deafening "buzzing" sound of the huge helicopter gunship formation formed from the training base let people know that what they saw was definitely not an illusion, but a real huge helicopter gunship flight group.

The whole parade lasted only two hours and ended in a hurry, but what it showed made it impossible for anyone to ignore.

"Somalia's most powerful military force since independence!"

This is the title of the big multimedia published after the military parade in Somalia, because the military power displayed by Somalia shocked them, when did the transitional government, which could not even replenish ordinary guns for several times, have such an elite modern mechanical force?

Regarding Zhou Yuanqiang's declaration after the military parade, the media directly described it as "the emergence of Somalia's largest dictatorial disarmament valve", because Zhou Yuanqiang's declaration directly pointed to several independent parties and one warlord, demanding that they accept the jurisdiction of the transitional government as soon as possible, otherwise they will be the sinners of Somalia's final reunification and peace.

And the poor president and the president of parliament, now I know that this thin young man in front of him is really not simple, everything seems to be planned by the other party, his fundamental purpose, from the initial investment, to now in charge of the Ministry of Defense, to become the largest warlord, all in the other party's control.

But so what? Looking at the other party's strong force, it is no longer the point where they can, or can manage, it.

At this point, Zhou Yuanqiang's entire deployment in Somalia has ended, and what he needs to develop in the future is to let the power in his hands grow in a clear and smooth way, let the economy under his control recover in the area under his jurisdiction, firmly grasp it militarily and economically, and then advance towards the whole of Somalia.
