Chapter 1204 Beyond Expectations
The establishment of the command center cost hundreds of millions of dollars, although the cost of equipment accounted for most of it, but the construction cost of the site also cost tens of millions of dollars.
A place of thousands of square meters, tens of millions of dollars, this proportion is not low, Feng Guofeng was led into the hall, and he was also shocked by the environment inside.
"We don't have the conditions you have here." When he saw Xiao Yang and Aman, he said with emotion.
Speaking of this, in fact, there were still some differences among Xiao Yang and them, Xiao Yang and Aman belonged to the kind of people who usually had to spend money on their own, and they were a little reluctant, but when it came to everyone, they were extremely willing people, the establishment of the command center, central air conditioning, sound insulation, office supplies, working environment, etc., the two of them suggested that everything should be the best.
But Mi Kirin and Ardis are different, these guys are obsessed with money, and they think that there is no need to make a workplace so good, office chairs or something, it is necessary to buy all leather? The glass used to isolate the position in the collective office area needs to be bulletproof?
In the end, it was Xiao Yang and Aman who overruled the crowd, and it was determined.
The two of them listened to Feng Guofeng's emotion, and they still felt a little useful in their hearts, after all, such an environment, but they decided.
There was still a little time, and the three of them sat down and chatted, and after a while, Xuanyuan Zhan came over to remind him, saying that it would start soon.
The command center is rarely fully functional, and most of the time it only acts as a communications relay station, but despite this, it is fully staffed, the time for action is counted down, and the individual staff members are starting to get into the groove.
Communication connections, video connections, and large screens quickly displayed the situation at the command post on the other side of the border.
"Xiao, Aman......" The picture flickered, Kate's face appeared, and when he saw that Feng Guofeng was also here, he was obviously stunned, "Anqi Feng is also here, so I haven't seen you." ”
Everyone knew that Feng Guofeng had helped Xiao Yang, and in order to show their respect, they all followed Xiao Yang and called him Uncle Feng, even Aman, Feng Guofeng proposed this several times, but everyone was still like this, so he had to give up.
Seeing Kate greet him, he smiled and waved his hand, "Hi Kate, I haven't seen you in a while, but I think we should be able to meet soon, right?" ”
Kate smiled and nodded, "Yes, it should be soon, no accidents, I'll be back to Kutos tomorrow." ”
They didn't come to catch up, after chatting for a few words, Kate took the initiative to introduce the detailed arrangements for this mission, as for whether to avoid Feng Guofeng, he didn't think about it at all, everyone is here, do you need to ask more?
"The main task is to be the personnel of the Field Brigade and the Presidential Guard, and the two sides have dispatched 2,000 men, of whom 500 have arrived at their designated positions an hour ago, just waiting for orders to move here...... As for our men, fifty of them followed the five hundred, mainly as a backup force to prevent omissions on the part of the government forces or accidents on the part of Somalia, while the rest were in charge of observation and were on standby at all times......"
The plan of action was arranged by Deka himself, and when Xiao Yang heard it for the first time, he was still quite surprised, because in order to exterminate the other party at one time, Deka actually reached a secret agreement with the Somali government to send a part of the army into the lair of the Free Army in Somalia to clean up.
For the Somali government, the existence of the Free Army is a cancer, and if someone can eliminate them, what if they allow other countries' troops to enter the country? Anyway, this is nominally their land, but in reality they can't control it at all.
For Decca, all he wanted was the permission to enter the country, so the two sides hit it off.
However, Xiao Yang still admires his boldness, Somalia is close to the two provinces of Somaliland, the warlords are divided, one is not good, it may attract a joint attack by these warlords, and his decision to send troops into the lair of the free army to fight is really bold enough.
Listening to Kate's introduction, he and Aman already knew the plan, and it was not surprising at this time, but Feng Guofeng was different, he didn't expect Dika to send troops into Somalia, and hurriedly asked Xiao Yang in a whisper if Dika had communicated with the Somali government.
"Five hundred people fighting, it will definitely not be able to hide afterwards, the relationship between the two countries is not good, and it will ...... when the time comes."
He didn't say the rest of the story, but it was nothing more than that the Somaliland government would be on the cusp of the storm.
"Dekka and the Somali government have reached an agreement that once the operation is successful, the two countries will declare it a joint operation."
"Oh......" Hearing Xiao Yang's answer, Feng Guofeng stopped talking.
He has also been in Kutos for many years, and is most familiar with the relationship between Somaliland and Somalia, the Somali government, after losing the support of Western countries, is gradually declining, in order to expand the influence of the government, they do not mind the Somaliland army entering the territory, there is a name for joint operations, once the mission is successful, then they will definitely share the credit, as for the impact of the Somaliland army entering the territory, or the consequences, that is not at all what they have to consider.
In such a situation, what else is there to say?
Kate finished introducing the situation in front of her, and the operation officially began, and some of their team members were specially responsible for observing the operation, these people with video equipment, divided into several important positions, and when the operation began, they also began to use the satellite to transmit back the scene of the scene.
The subsystem of the border is connected to the main system on Kutos's side, and these pictures appear in front of Xiao Yang's eyes in real time.
On the main battlefield of the Somaliland border: on the beach of a seasonal river in the desert, a convoy was preparing to cross the dry riverbed, when suddenly, soldiers appeared from the low bushes on both sides of the riverbed and opened heavy fire on them, rifles, machine guns, mortars...... For a moment, the quiet desert suddenly boiled......
At the same time, on the territory of Somalia, five hundred soldiers began to launch a heavy artillery shelling of a small village......
……
The Free Army is famous, but there are not many real combatants, just over 1,000 in all, and 500 of them have already left for Yemen and Afghanistan months ago, which means that only about 700 people have left their nest in their nest this time to come to Somaliland.
And the people used by Dika this time, 2,000 people, not counting artillery and armored troops, that is to say, in the whole operation, he dispatched about 2,500 people, and then plus Xiao Yang and their 200 people, the total number is close to 3,000, 3,000 people ambush 700 people, and also occupy the advantages of equipment and intelligence, the result can be imagined.
The battle went more smoothly than Xiao Yang had imagined, and in just twenty minutes, the fighting between Somaliland and Somalia was over.
In the final battlefield report, they didn't wait, but just looked at the overall situation and left the command center.
"I don't know if we should say that the combat effectiveness of the free army is not as high as we imagined, or the strength of the Somaliland army is beyond our imagination, and the whole battle, I basically can't see how many counterattacks the free army has......" out of the command center, several people did not drive, but slowly walked outside, the performance of both sides on the battlefield was beyond Feng Guofeng's expectations, in his opinion, this battle did not allow the Somaliland army to show too much strength.
Aman and Xiao Yang were also a little surprised, in this battle, their own side fought too smoothly, thousands of people exchanged fire, and it was over in twenty minutes, and even in the whole process, there were basically no casualties, which was too far from the previous expectation.
"It should be said that the performance of the Free Army is unexpected, under the artillery blow, they have lost the will to fight, this is a bit strange, as far as we know, they are not like this." Xiao Yang thought about it and said.
"There's a question you're ignoring." Oman reminded him, "Maybe the 500 people who went to Yemen are all their elite, and those who remain are ordinary combatants, and this incident should be a surprise to them, their personnel are too concentrated, and dozens of deaths in one round of shelling are enough to make them afraid, plus the siege of more than a thousand infantry......"
Xiao Yang and Feng Guofeng glanced at each other and nodded.
"Well, that's how it should be. However, if we want to see the combat effectiveness of the government army, we can only say that we have chosen the wrong opponent this time, and the opponent is too weak. ”
Regardless of whether the opponent is weak or not, winning is real, so it is certain that Dika will celebrate a lot, and it is also certain that the country will get more praise, Xiao Yang They are just curious, but they don't need to really understand it thoroughly, so they are not too entangled.
Obviously, Dekka was completely prepared for this operation, and half an hour later, television stations all over the country began to report the news of this operation, of course, the report did not say anything about the design of the Free Army to be introduced into Somaliland, only that the two sides were fighting in such and such a place, and then how many Free Army died, and the rest were all captured, and peace will be ushered in in such and such a section of the border in the future.
"The Free Army still has a little reputation in East Africa, and if it can eliminate all the people who leave the country this time, the Somaliland army will definitely receive a lot of attention, and Deka's reputation is estimated to rise again."
Leaving the information center, Xiao Yang, Aman and Feng Guofeng did not separate immediately, but went to Feng Guofeng's office at the port base to drink tea together.
"That's for sure." Xiao Yang smiled, the more stable Dika's regime is, the more everyone they sit will benefit, so he does not hide his happiness at all. "This kind of thing, the more the better, at least you and I will benefit."
"That's ......," several laughed at the same time.
