Chapter 434 Exchange of chips

The meeting of the United Nations general meeting continued, and the proposal put forward by Japan soon reached the voting stage after the consent of most of the representatives of the member states.

Driven by countless behind-the-scenes 'black hands', the proposal to form a joint fleet to escort the waters of the Gulf of Aden was endorsed by two-thirds of the member states and adopted at the session of the United Nations Congress. Most of the members of the Security Council, the real core authority of the United Nations, agree with this proposal, because it is beneficial to most countries. There is no reason to disagree. Some countries may not be able to send warships to join the 'joint fleet' to escort, but there are always merchant ships to pass through the Gulf of Aden, right? All countries do not want to be hijacked by a merchant ship today and a passenger ship attacked by pirates tomorrow. This can't be explained to the people, and they can't afford to lose that face.

Of course, this proposal is not opposed by no one; most of the countries in the coastal areas of the Middle East and those in the coastal areas of East Africa opposed this proposal at the session of the United Nations. Originally, the huge fleet of the United States was already frightening in this sea area. Another batch of 'Eight-nation Fleets' will not let people live?

The voice of opposition was too weak in the whole session of the United Nations general meeting. It didn't cause a trace of spray at all and was overwhelmed by overwhelming approval.

The formation of a joint fleet cannot be easily implemented in this way, and there are many problems involved. For example, the formation, size, supply, escort schedule, etc. of the fleet need to mainly participate in the detailed discussion of national representatives.

In the initial discussion, there was a little disagreement that was quickly rejected by the opposition of the representatives of the majority of member states. The representative of the United States proposed to form a joint fleet, and the ships sent by various countries included all surface ships except aircraft carrier submarines. This article was immediately firmly opposed by representatives of China and other countries. Not to mention aircraft carriers, few countries in the world today have aircraft carriers; but under the aircraft carriers, there is also a powerful maritime battleship - a cruiser.

Although the current role of cruisers has been gradually replaced with the emergence of more and more advanced destroyers. But it is undeniable that it is still a large ship with strong firepower. In today's world, only four countries have cruisers: the United States, Russia, Italy and Peru. The United States has the largest number of cruisers in the world, reaching 54, which is almost six times the total number of cruisers in the other three countries.

The armed escort of the joint fleet is originally a 'stage' to promote military strength. Other countries have sent thousands of tons of destroyers, frigates, etc. Aren't you shivering to send a cruiser with more than 10,000 tons?

Even Russia, which owns cruisers, opposes the U.S. proposal. Russia's economic strength is no better than that of the United States. The launch of a cruiser is a big burden on Russia's current economic conditions.

Finally, after fierce controversy, the dispatched ships were strictly limited to the displacement of more than 1,000 tons and less than 8,000 tons. This means that only destroyers and frigates are allowed to participate in the escort by force. Of course, some countries have 'large missile speedboats', and as long as this only requirement is met, they can be allowed to participate.

... "You mean that President Yusuf invited representatives of all domestic forces to Mogadishu for a meeting? The content of the meeting is to discuss the feasible surnames for the formation of the Somali Defense Forces? Li Mo looked at Chief of Staff Hussein and asked in surprise.

How could Yusuf put forward such a thing at such a time? The problem that can't be solved by the Somali Association. Does he want to solve it by himself at home?

The formation of the Somali Defense Forces seems simple. In fact, the main problem is still how to solve the problems of local forces. The differences are also here. If the Somali Defense Force is reorganized alone, the local forces must be indifferent. You have money to form it. Anyway, there are a lot of poor people in Somalia, and you are not afraid of not being able to recruit soldiers. But if you want the local forces to hand over the ** in your hand and form a national defense force, it will be a problem.

Which one can become a local real power figure? Which one doesn't come out of the 'mountain of knives and sea of fire'? Is it easy to take down a piece of heaven and earth? Wanting these people to hand over the biggest capital in their hands is undoubtedly almost the same as killing them.

"Yes, the people sent by President Yusuf also brought him a cooperation proposal." Hussein smiled at the little girl next to the boss who had been staring at him before replying. But he was thinking in his heart that the boss was really as 'lustful' as everyone said in private.

But the boss's ability is really great. After Lieutenant Colonel Anli, he didn't know where he found such a watery little girl.

If Li Mo knew that the serious-faced subordinate in front of him was thinking about this, he would definitely jump up and give him a punch.

Li Mo leaned his body against the chair, considering the stakes of this matter. If it was in the past, before the United States attacked the headquarters of the Mingzhu Army, Li Mo must have opposed it directly without thinking about it. He is a possessive man. How can he make himself a 'Somali Defense Force'? Even nominally, it doesn't work.

But since the sneak attack by U.S. special forces, Li Mo feels that the water in the world is too deep. It's easy to be doomed. With the development speed of the Star Organization, it will take at least three years to gain a foothold in Somalia and reach a pivotal point. It will take more than five or even ten years to operate Somalia into the back garden of the Star Organization. This is absolutely unacceptable to Li Mo. In just four years since his rebirth, he has gone from a penniless poor student to a boss with tens of thousands of armed members. It has made him taste the sweetness of 'high-speed development', and he can't stand the long wait of several years and decades.

And Yusuf proposed to form the Somali Defense Forces at this time. But it undoubtedly brightened Li Mo's eyes. If the Mingzhu Army can be integrated into the 'Somali Defence Force' in the name of legality, you can get what you used to rely on many steps to get through legal means.

When the Palamin Cook Army becomes the 'Somali Defense Force', it has at least legal status, and there is no need to worry about some despicable and shameless sneak attacks. A sneak attack on a non-political axe armed force and a sneak attack on a national political axe army are completely different things. The impact is also completely different. Even if the United States wants to find Paramin's trouble again, it has to weigh the powerful relationship.

Li Mo's silence made Hussein very nervous. He knew that the boss was moved by President Yusuf's proposal.

What is this? The organization has just completed the institutional reform, and Hussein has only enjoyed the feeling of 'power' for a few days. If he joined the 'Somali Defense Forces', he would certainly not be so comfortable.

"What does President Yusuf's cooperation mean?" Li Mo suddenly opened his eyes and asked at Hussein.

Hussein sat in front of him, and the emotional changes in his heart were easily perceived by the spiritual magnetic field. Palamin's cooking army joined the 'Somali Defense Force', and Hussein must be subject to some restrictions. It's normal for him to be nervous about this.

"The cooperation brought by President Yusuf is that as long as we support his 'Somali Defence Force' plan, we can choose one of the two positions in the future Somali Defence Force." Hussein was full of resentment against You Sufu, but he dared not answer Li Mo's question.

"Oh? Choose any of the two positions? Which two positions?" Li Mo suddenly became interested in what price President Yusuf was willing to pay in exchange for the support of Paraming's army.

"The commander of the Southern Military Region, one of the three major military regions of the Somali Defense Forces, and the Chief of General Staff of the Somali Defense Force." Hussein immediately replied honestly. .

"Hang!" No matter how much Li Mo guessed, he didn't expect Yu Sufu to pay such a big price. Needless to say, the commander of one of the three major military regions is a person who really holds military power. And the position of the Chief of Staff is even more touching. The chief of staff of a [***] team is equivalent to the second person in the army. Even if some countries have military decision-making and command institutions, the Chief of General Staff will certainly occupy an important position in this institution.

"President Yusuf seems to have made up his mind to rectify the armed forces of domestic warlords. Otherwise, he would not have taken out these two important positions for us to 'choose'," Li Mo said with a smile. Seeing that Hussein was still reluctant, Li Mo laughed and scolded, "Don't you want to be the Chief of Staff of the Somali National Defense Force? What are you doing with a sad face? Even if the Palamin Cooking Army becomes the Somali Defense Force, he is still under our command.

"Boss, you said so, other forces must be the same as us. What's the use of being a nominal Chief of General Staff at that time? It's better to be the chief of staff of the Palamin cooking army. Hussein was not stupid and was not tempted by the position of 'Chief of Staff', and soon found something wrong with it.

"Ha ha, you're right. We can think that even if other forces agree to form the Somali Defence Force, they will not hand over their military command. But at that time, they had no choice but to do that. As long as we have nominal military mobilization power, hum, with the ability of those local warlords, we still want to continue to be a local emperor, how can it be such a good thing. Maybe there will be a 'rebellion action' at that time. Li Mo sneered, and his tone was full of murder.

Wait for the Paramin cooking army to complete the mechanized adaptation. In the whole of Somalia, except for Somaliland in the north, other local warlords are not worth mentioning at all. He is destined to take the initiative to hand over the military command under the strong military oppression of the Mingzhu Army. Otherwise, as Li Mo said, direct military strikes. At that time, there was a legal excuse to not allow the outside world to intervene at all. Because this belongs to the 'internal affairs' of Somalia.

Hussein thought about it carefully when he heard the words, and his eyes became brighter and brighter. He also saw the feasible surname of this matter. As long as he does well, he may really become the first Chief of General Staff of the New Somali Defense Forces to have real power.
