Chapter 441 Grinding Knife Huo Huo

On October 10, the Somali Transitional Government Axe Information Office suddenly convened all domestic and foreign media reporters in Mogadishu to hold a press conference on the 'multiple-party meeting' in Somalia.

At the press conference, the spokesperson of Somalia's political axe briefed the media present on the results and part of the process of the 'multi-party meeting'. The formation of the Somali Defence Force, which is of public concern, will be officially launched on November 1.

After the spokesman's briefing, reporters asked on the spot how to solve other partisan forces in the country that did not participate in the 'multi-party meeting'. Should we continue to solve the local armed forces peacefully through negotiation and consultation, or solve these problems by military means?

In the face of such a sharp and direct question from the reporter, the spokesman smiled indifferently. He had already received the instructions above and knew how to answer this question.

"This reporter's friend's question is what I'm going to say next. After many consultations with relevant parties, there has been a detailed plan on this matter. At the suggestion of President Yusuf, representatives of the Puntland, the Palamin Cook Army and other parties agreed to form a 'rapid response force' of appropriate scale and strong combat effectiveness that can deal with any sudden ** situation in the country; the task of this 'rapid response force' is to suppress any possible rebellion in the country by force. "." Somalia's transitional political axe used a tough tone to show the outside world the political axe's attitude and determination towards uncooperative forces.

"Wow..." The media reporters off the stage exclaimed at the same time. When they reacted, they recorded this extremely important news at a more crazy speed. They even thought of the title of the report - the 'Declaration of War' of the Somali Political Axe!

Everyone knows the purpose of the formation of this rapid reaction force. That is used to deal with uncooperative forces such as the La Hanwen Resistance Army. For some reason, Somalia's transitional political axe and several local powerful factions have lost their surnames and intend to completely solve the chaos of domestic warlords by force.

"Hello, I'm Clara, a reporter from the New York Times. Has this 'Quick Anti-Force' been formed? Who is her commander? Can you deal with any sudden events? Clara finally found an opportunity and quickly asked questions.

As we all know, the overall quality of individual armed forces in Somalia is not high, and their combat effectiveness will not be strong. Does such a 'force' jointly formed by one's own side have the strength to complete the suppression of the 'rebellion'? It is something that the outside world urgently needs to know.

The spokesman of the Somali political axe smiled and said, "The current commander of this 'fast counter-force' has not been determined, but I can tell you a piece of information here. In this 'fast counter-force', there are elite troops such as the 1st Armored Battalion of the Paraming Cooking Army and the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Regiment. She is fully capable of dealing with any sudden situation. Well, that's all for this press conference. Later, we will continue to inform the outside world of some resolutions related to the political axe. Thank you!"

In the unfinished look of the reporters when they left, they had to leave the press conference.

... "Do you have any objection to my sending out the armored battalion and the infantry this time?" In the smoky conference room, Li Mo, who was sitting in the first place, glanced at the senior officials of the organization and asked with a smile.

This time, in order to attack the La Hanwen Resistance Army, Li Mo immediately sent out the two most elite troops of the Mingzhu Army in a conversation with Colonel Hussein and joined the 'Quick Anti Force'. He must be sure that he can successfully and completely eliminate the threat of the La Hanwen Resistance Army.

However, this decision was only discussed by him and Hussein, and it was not passed through the military committee. Although there were no terms of the chairman in the rules and regulations of the military committee, in order to let his men know the real reason, he temporarily called this high-level meeting to tell everyone. The purpose and reason for doing so.

"Rap, tell everyone about the work of your trade department first." Li Mo saw that everyone was listening, but he did not answer immediately.

"Okay. Let me first talk about the advanced work of the Ministry of Trade..." The mouse reported on the work during this period, focusing on the procurement of parts for the 'Lion King Infantry Fighting Vehicle'. With the large amount of funds obtained from the 'transaction' of copper mining shares, the trade department of the mouse is not as shrive as before. As long as it is a suitable and qualified parts, it doesn't matter whether the price quoted by the manufacturer is more expensive or not. What the Ministry of Trade needs is time. After all, Li Mo asked the trade department to purchase a total of five regiments and all parts of 200 infantry fighting vehicles by the end of this year. Therefore, for the Ministry of Trade, speed is the most important thing.

According to the mouse's report, three and a half months have passed, and the original planned task of purchasing enough to equip the two regiments has been achieved, and it has been surpassed on this basis. Now the third batch of bulk parts of the 'Lion King' infantry fighting vehicle are on the way back, and can be transported back to the base in a week at most. Everyone listened attentively to the mouse's speech, but their minds were analyzing that this matter seemed to have nothing to do with the 'fast anti-force'. I don't know why the boss listened to the mouse's report at this time?

"Good, good!" After listening to this, Li Mo praised with satisfaction, "I hope that the Ministry of Trade can continue to work on this basis and complete the procurement of these components as soon as possible. Everyone knows that Somalia is going to form a new National Defense Force. I won't say more about the various stakes, just a little. That is, the new National Defense Force will certainly not be just a 'rifle arm', but will definitely purchase some heavy weapons. Don't think that Somalia has no money. Although Somalia seems to be very poor, as long as the domestic situation is stabilized and all domestic resources can be controlled, those oil and mineral resources that are now cheaply 'bought' by foreign forces will be re-signed at the current price. At that time, the political axe will have a large amount of available funds. My idea is to arm all the Mingzhu troops first, so that the surname of the 'Lion King' infantry fighting vehicle can be compared with the surname price on the side of the political axe. It is very likely that we will persuade the National Defense Force to purchase the Lion King Infantry Fighting Vehicle. This will be a major turning point in our arms trade, heralding our upgrade from the light firearms trade to the sale of armored weapons, so when the "Quick Anti-Force" was established this time, I took the initiative to add the third aircraft regiment. Only in actual combat can the political axe and other forces leaders see the difference between the machine infantry regiment and the so-called infantry regiment..."

After listening to Li Mo's words, everyone suddenly realized that the boss's move was really brilliant. This is to promote the next arms sales. The Star Organization is essentially an arms trading organization, not a political party that competes for power and profits.

With Li Mo's explanation, coupled with the previous relationship between the Resistance Army and the United States from the Intelligence Department, the senior officials present here realized that it is an important action to fight against the La Hanwen Resistance Army. However, some people also proposed that the third machine step group, which has just been replaced for less than a month, can give full play to the advantages of the equipment of the elders of the machine step group?

After this question was raised, Stone immediately explained: "The 'Lion King' infantry fighting vehicle is highly automated and does not require too high skills. What's more, this step regiment joined the 'fast anti-force'; what we value most about military strikes against other forces is not the results of the battle, but the deterrence of this step regiment when it appears on the battlefield. Besides, we still have a tank battalion, which is more than enough to deal with some [***] armed forces.

... At the press conference held by the Somali Transitional Political Axe in the morning, the 'tough' statement of the Somali Political Axe spokesman caused an uproar in Somalia. Some leaders who had no choice but to support the formation of the National Defense Force but were ready to delay suddenly realized that something was not good. Immediately, representatives were sent to Mogadishu, took the initiative to move closer to the organization, and put them into action for the early establishment of the Somali Defense Force. The leaders of these forces are still secretly glad that the compromise decision had to be made by the alliance of the four major forces at the 'multiple meetings'. Otherwise, this newly formed fast anti-force dedicated to 'rebel' may suddenly appear at its doorstep.

Unlike these lucky leaders, the forces who left the resistance in the middle of the game were panicked. They seriously underestimated the determination of this political axe to completely control the domestic regime; the withdrawal of a 'multiple-party meeting' shows that your force has become an enemy and there is no room for it. And with the formation of the fast counter-force, some kind of military action will be carried out to achieve the goal that cannot be achieved by the 'multi-party meeting'.

Of the 13 forces that left the meeting with the La Hanwen Resistance Army, four of them had good relations with the Lahanwen Resistance Army. After receiving the movement of the political axe and several other major forces, he immediately sent the senior management of the organization to Baidoa to discuss with the resistance army how to deal with the possible military strikes in the political axe at any time. Of the remaining nine forces, three immediately sent representatives to Mogadishu in an attempt to re-promise to hand over the armed forces and establish the Somali Defense Force. However, there are still six forces that are uncertain and wait and see. These forces are all that kind of wall grass. They want to see if the political axe will use force to solve the uncooperative forces. If they use force, they will turn to the winning side 'after the victory of the battle'.

No matter how these forces move, the fast-reaction forces have begun to gather around the area controlled by the La Hanwen Resistance Army. In the assembled troops, the Mingzhu Army sent a total of the third infantry regiment, the tank battalion, and the fourth regiment; a total of 20 tanks, 40 infantry fighting vehicles and 1,500 troops. They will gather in Central Juba State and attack the resistance-controlled area from the south.

The eastern offensive force, composed of the armed forces of the Somali Salvation Front under President Yusufu and some soldiers of the Third Infantry Brigade of the Political Axe Army controlled by Kenyare, gathered in Lower Shabelli. They will attack the resistance-controlled area from the east.

In the northern Hilan of Baidoa, the armed forces of the Pantland Autonomous Government also assembled an army of about 1,800 people.

The three major forces completely surrounded Baidoa in the three directions of the southeast and north. The total number of troops reached 7,000, of which the eastern offensive force was the largest, with 4,000. In order to eliminate the most powerful uncooperative force of the Lahanwen Resistance Army in one fell swoop, President Yusuf took out all his old capital, which can be said to be desperate. In the west of Baidoa, there is Ethiopia, which supports Somalia. Although the Bontelland forces in the north are the weakest of the three offensive forces, they have a little advantage. That is, the control is large enough space, and there is no fear that the La Hanwen Resistance Army will break out from the north, which will be completely caught in the human sea tactics of the Puntland Autonomous Axe.

Before the outside world could react, the sky over Somalia was already cloudy. The Somali political axe sharpened the knife. Hoho was ready to start to take the Lahanman Resistance Army.
