Chapter 438 It's time to do it
After Clara's questioning, President Yusuf agreed to a reporter from a Somali newspaper and a reporter from a foreign newspaper.
20 minutes later, President Yusuf, who finished the question, and representatives of 67 other local forces left at the same time under the escort of a large group of armed soldiers. The media reporters and other people who had been waiting for the morning outside the political axe building left one after another with satisfaction or dissatisfaction. In the end, only a small number of local citizens pulled up the banner of 'supporting the centralization of Somalia' to support the political axe outside the political axe building.
Li Mo, who had been standing in the corner with Lei Zhen and several people, also returned to the Somali National Guest House with the crowd leaving.
"Li Mo, are you prepared for this result?" As soon as he returned to the room belonging to the Huaxia Business Investigation Group, Lei Zhen couldn't wait to ask. It seems that this question is very uncomfortable in his heart, and he can't spit it out.
At this time, there are three people in the room, namely Lei Zhen, Ding Huiqiang and Li Guoqing, plus Li Mo and two women. As for the other members of the Huaxia Business Mission, they all went to the copper mine in the Sanshan tribe of Gaddo Prefecture.
"Yes, Li Mo, you don't seem to be surprised by this result at all. It's already expected to release the Buddha. I don't understand why the 'earth emperors' are willing to hand over the armed forces in their hands? As a soldier, Ding Huiqiang can better understand the mind of a armed leader. The pleasure of 'everything is under control' can definitely make people lose themselves. In Somalia, the people who are armed are no better than other countries. Even if they are a big commander in other countries, their real power is relatively small and they are bound by various regulations. It's not like here, it's no different from a miniature country.
Li Mo smiled and took a look at the two. He knew that when the two asked this question, he was not only curious, but also wanted to find out the inside story for China.
Take out a pack of cigarettes, pull out a point, and throw the cigarette box on the table casually. Li Mo smiled and said, "Seriously, I didn't expect this result in advance. But I know that President Yusuf is determined to complete the concentration of the Somali regime at all costs. Eliminate all disobedient forces.
"Hang..." Lei Zhen and Ding Huiqiang both took a cold breath. What they were shocked was not Li Mo's previous words, but the last sentence. Eliminate all disobedient forces? What a tone this should be. With the armed forces of the Somali Self-help Front now controlled by President Yusuf, it is impossible to achieve this goal at all. So what on earth does he rely on to make sure that he can do it?
The two soon thought of the "unconditional" support of the Paramin cooking army for President Yusuf at this 'multiple meetings', as well as the political axes left by the Bondland Autonomous Axe and the political axe sent by Mogadishu Aidid. These first-class Somali forces supported President Yusuf in completing the 'reunification cause' of Somalia at this meeting. If there is no inside story, they will not believe it.
"Tay, what benefits did Yusuf promise? Let you support him at all costs?" Lei Zhen turned up a terrible wave in his heart, but he asked anxiously with a curious look on his face. This is also extremely important for China. Only understanding why these forces suddenly chose to support Yusuf and make him a well-known president will be very important for China's next step in how to deal with the 'true unity' Somali political axe. Only by clearly understanding the attitude of the new Somali political axe towards China can China choose how to 'handle' the relationship with the new political axe. And Li Mo also plays a key role in this.
Li Mo took a cigarette and noticed that Li Guoqing also pricked up his ears. He thought for a moment and felt that there was nothing that could not be said. And this statement can always make Huaxia see his 'sincerity' more than when facts are formed in the future.
"In fact, this matter has something to do with the 'Aden Bay Joint Escort Fleet' touted by the outside media. That incident made all the leaders of all forces see a threat, and Yusuf saw through the meaning of the "joint fleet" escorting in front of Somalia. It is said that the proposal to form a 'joint fleet' was first put forward by the United States and Japan? Somalia's large and small forces are full of hostility to the United States, and the transitional political axe has no good impression on him. They are all afraid that the 'joint fleet' will threaten them at any time. That's why we have this cooperation. Some of these reasons are my guess, and some are facts. But those guesses must not be far from the real inside story.
Although Li Mo explained the matter of cooperation, he avoided the important things. There is no mention of the specific inside story of cooperation at all. These are only the external factors that formed this cooperation. And how can these local real power bosses who regard the armed forces as their hearts be so talkative? Gently resist the threat of the 'joint fleet' and hand over the armed forces in your hand?
Lei Zhen and Ding Huiqiang naturally showed a dissatisfied look. Tang Ya, who frowned slightly, secretly gave Fan Qingqing a wink.
"Xiao Mo, just tell us the real inside story. Now it is speculated that this cooperation is controlled by a big country behind the scenes. Some forces even suspect that it is what China has done. Because our delegation has been gradually investigated by the outside world. So those real inside stories are very important to us!" Fan Qingqing hugged Li Mo's arm and didn't care that several bosses were here, praying delicately.
Li Mo was stunned when he heard the words. He didn't know that the outside world had made so many noises in the morning. Unexpectedly, some people think that Huaxia is controlling this 'multi-party meeting'? This is so funny. If China could easily control so many forces in Somalia, would Somalia have been China's 'intimate-in-arms'?
"Actually, this matter is just an exchange of interests!" Li Mo pondered for a while and said in a very straightforward tone.
In Somalia, Li Mo can be regarded as an insider or an outsider. At this time, the audience is an outsider, and Li Mo does not have to deliberately locate his identity, with a large random surname.
"In the newly formed Somali National Defense Force, the Palamin Cook Army is expected to get the position of Chief of General Staff." Li Mo said something that aggravated the exhalation of several people in the room.
Five pairs of big eyes, looking at Li Mo like a monster. It reveals an incredible meaning. The Chief of General Staff is a real person of power in any country.
Although Somalia is a third-rate country, and even the new Somali Defense Force has no shadow so far, Li Mo's words still shocked these people.
Lei Zhen and Ding Huiqiang were stunned for a long time. At the same time, they thought that if Li Mo's people really became the Chief of General Staff of the Somali National Defense Force, then China would definitely pay a greater price to 'maintain' the cooperative relationship between the two sides. And it will also carry out deeper cooperation in a more equal way.
The most important thing is that if Li Mo's people become the Chief of Staff of the Somali Defense Forces. Then Huaxia may indirectly affect a country's national defense through Li Mo's relationship. What kind of diplomatic achievement should this be? The two did not deny that as long as they passed the news back to China. China will certainly make a more detailed plan for this matter and step up to promote the success of this matter.
Just when Lei Zhen and others were still in shock, the satellite phone on Li Mo's body rang. However, Colonel Hussein reported to him what happened at the meeting.
In a small room arranged by Fan Qingqing, Li Mo and Hussein talked for half an hour before hanging up the phone. However, because of his secret surname, Hussein didn't say much on the phone. I just told Li Mo a general content, but it was enough for Li Mo to understand what happened at the meeting.
One of them attracted Li Mo's attention, that is, the La Hanwen Resistance Army left the scene halfway because it could not accept the opinions of President Yousuf and other representatives, that is, the core issue of 'dissolving' the local armed forces and forming a new national defense force was rejected by the representatives of the La Hanwen Resistance Army.
The La Hanwen Resistance Army originally had an armed force of about 4,000 people, but since the expansion of various Somali forces caused by the sudden expansion of the Paramin Cooking Army last time, the armed members of the La Hanwen Resistance Army have now reached 5,000. Its weapons and equipment are similar to those of other forces in Somalia, mainly light weapons, supplemented by a small number of armored vehicles. Most of these armored vehicles are old goods left by the Barre regime, which was overthrown in 1991, and can only "scare" the general forces. According to the analysis of Wang Ning's intelligence department, it is not a question whether the armored forces of the La Hanwen Resistance Army can carry out long-distance marches, which is not a problem at all.
Thinking of this, Li Mo sneered at the corners of his mouth. He had long known that the La Hanwen Resistance Army still had an unclear relationship with the United States. Although on the surface, the Hanwen Resistance Army left the 'hug' of the United States, it actually hid this relationship underground. After the last U.S. special forces attacked the headquarters of the Paramin cooking army, according to intelligence detection, a team of the La Hanwen Resistance Army stationed in the western part of Central Juba, that is, near the control area of the Paraming Cooking Army, had secretly gathered, but a few hours after the attack of the U.S. special forces, the assembled troops suddenly However, it was disbanded.
According to the speculation of the intelligence department, the Lahanwen Resistance Army must have received the news in advance that the U.S. special forces would sneak up on the headquarters of the Paraming Cook Army that night. And after the success of the U.S. special forces, it is planned to take advantage of the chaos of the Paramin cooking army to capture the territory controlled by the Paramin cooking army. However, because the U.S. special forces were destroyed by the Paraming Cook Army, the Lahanman Resistance Army disbanded the assembled team after receiving certain orders or some kind of offensive prompts.
The news of the U.S. special forces' sneak attack on the Paraming Cooking Army was definitely not found by the own intelligence agencies of the Lahanwen Resistance Army. They don't have that kind of strength. So this must have been revealed by the United States itself. This also shows that the La Hanwen Resistance Army still has an inexplicable relationship with the United States.
Thinking that the La Hanwen Resistance Army once had the intention of taking advantage of the fire, Li Mo put them on the blacklist that must be destroyed. The withdrawal of the La Hanwen Resistance Army from the 'multi-party meeting' gave Li Mo a reason to take action against the La Hanwen Resistance Army.
Presumably, the Excellency of the President, who is eager to be worthy of the name, is also willing to set an example at this time, right? The sudden departure of the Lahanwen Resistance Army this time is undoubtedly regardless of the "face" of His Excellency the President. Refusing to hand over the armed forces is equivalent to wanting to continue to be a local emperor, which is contrary to President Yousuf's wish for unification and is bound to become a hostile reason.
