Chapter 456 Military Parade
"Stand up!" The two guards, who were originally a little listless, saw a man in front of them. They were immediately excited. The rifle in their hands shook, and with a fierce shout, they had a lot of momentum to scold the criminals.
"I want to see General William, get out of the way!" A black man pushed the guard who was blocking the road in front of him with a mouth full of alcohol and shouted.
In the push, a guard accidentally found that a few wet fingerprints were left by the black man in front of the military uniform. He was immediately furious and pushed down the black man who was not standing steadily. He raised his foot in military boots and kicked it. He cursed, "Damn drunkard, damn black monkey..."
Just as two guards beat the black man, a jeep came to the front of the villa and saw the behavior of the two guards, and a stop sound came from the car.
"Report General, this drunkard intended to break into Commander William's residence, and we found him trying to escape!" An American soldier saw the face of the person coming and knew that it was Major General Robert, the commander of a department. After the salute, he explained without blushing.
Major General Robert knew the reason why the two guards beat the blacks, and he didn't bother to argue. Besides, he doesn't have a good impression on black people, except for his immediate superior in the villa.
"Huh... Isn't this our American guest, Chairman Gabyo? Is he here to find the commander? After Major General Robert got out of the car, the corners of his eyes clearly saw the moaning black face, and immediately stopped and asked the guards.
Two guards nodded repeatedly, but they did not pay attention to the 'guest of the United States' in Major General Robert's words. In fact, they had known the identity of black people for a long time. A Somali leader of non-political axe armed forces... To be precise, he is a leader of non-political axe armed exile.
Robert seemed to remember something and ordered the two guards, "Take him down to see a doctor. This person may be useful to the United States in the future. Don't beat him casually!" Before entering the villa, Robert turned around and gave a nondescript order.
In the reception room of Admiral William, the commander of the U.S. African Command, Major General Robert reported on the situation in Africa during this period, focusing on what happened in Somalia.
Somalia's temporary political axe suddenly became tough. Several forces in the United Nations, despite the 'warning of the United States', wiped out the U.S.-backed Lahanwen Resistance Army by force, and issued an ultimatum to the U.S. companies that exploit oil in Somalia to withdraw staff and stop the exploitation of oil resources within a limited time. . This is undoubtedly a slap in the face of the United States in front of everyone in the world.
With the surname of the United States, which has nothing to do, the act of Somalia's temporary political axe will certainly be retaliated by the United States. But today, most of the national forces in the world, including the firm "ally" of the United States, the United Kingdom, support the unified action of Somalia. The United States cannot act openly against Somalia.
Moreover, Africa is different from other places. Because Africa has an organization higher than the state - the African Union. The existence of the African Union united the weak African countries and formed a powerful force that made the United States extremely scrupulous. Why was the U.S. African Command established a long time ago, but now the headquarters is now in Germany? Isn't it because all countries in Africa are united against it?
Without excuses and legitimate reasons, the U.S. political axe will not take the risk of offending so many countries to attack Somalia by force.
Although the United States is powerful, it is not omnipotent. In Iraq, the U.S. military is still facing attacks from Iraqi Patriotic organizations all the time, and in Afghanistan, the U.S. military is still fighting with the Taliban guerrillas. The United States really can't fight with three countries at the same time for a little benefit.
Retaliation without force does not mean that the United States has admitted everything made by Somalia's temporary political axe. On the contrary, the U.S. intelligence infiltration into Somalia has surpassed that of most countries in the world. Within the U.S. political axe, it has been proposed that Somalia be included in the "blacklist of potential enemies" of the United States.
Major Robert is the commander of the U.S. 2nd Marine Division. The 2nd Marine Division is an important land support force of the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet and has been stationed in the Middle East with the Fifth Fleet. It is also the closest U.S. military to Somalia. The special forces that attacked the headquarters of the Palamming Army last night came from the reconnaissance and search battalion of the 2nd Marine Division under Robert's command.
Now it has also been ordered by the U.S. authorities to closely monitor Somalia's every move.
Commander William is the first black general in the United States, but he has no feelings for Africa, the ancestral place. Everything he does now is centered on the interests of the United States, otherwise he would not have become an American general and serve as the commander of the U.S. African Command.
"That is to say, the Somali Defense Forces are about to complete the reorganization? The Paramin Cooking Army, which caused the failure of the last operation, obtained the position of Chief of General Staff in the Somali Defence Force, and its strength has been significantly improved? Admiral William half narrowed his eyes and pondered for a while, and his eyes moved slightly and asked.
"Yes, although their combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning for the U.S. military, if we don't take immediate action, it will increase the difficulty of our attack over time." Major General Robert is a hawkish figure who has long been dissatisfied with Somalia's 'provoking' of the United States, especially the disappearance of the special forces he sent, which made him have the impulse to vent on Somalia.
"The Pentagon has not issued any orders to take action against Somalia. We can't act privately. Go back first and continue to monitor every move in Somalia. Remember to cooperate more with the CIA. Admiral William finished speaking and waved to Robert that he could leave.
Robert saluted with a slight disappointment. He just turned around and said, "Commander-in-Chief, I saw Gabyu outside the door just now. He seems to be in a very bad situation!" After saying that, Robert put on his military cap and strode away.
After Robert left, Admiral William suddenly opened his eyes. Looking at the closed door and waiting for a long time, he shook his head and sighed. He knows that there are many hawkish officers like Major General Robert in the U.S. military now. In the minds of these people, anyone who goes against the will of the United States is the enemy of the United States and needs to take a strong counterattack. However, although the United States is strong, it cannot defeat the whole world. As long as the United States cannot defeat the whole world, the United States must learn to compromise in the face of many problems. Although Admiral William is also a general, his perspective on things is obviously different from Robert's.
...January 1, 2006, that is, New Year's Day. The whole world is in celebration. Somalia is no exception, and Somalia is more lively than other countries.
Because on this day, the Somali parliament will elect the first official president of Somalia. After Yusuf was sworn in as president in the parliament hall, the whole of Somalia rejoiced. After 15 years of civil war, countless Somalis were displaced and even lost their lives. Today, this important day will come to an end. A new Somalia is about to appear in the world.
At 10 a.m., outside the Somali Government Axe Building, with the order of the new President Yousuf, Hussein, Chief of Staff of the Somali Defence Forces, announced the start of the military parade.
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of domestic and foreign guests at the scene, the First Armored Brigade of the Somali Defense Forces roared into the streets. The powerful body of the tank, the shocking muzzle, and the indifferent soldiers on it... All kinds of different feelings made the Somali people cheer. Even if there is a disdain in the eyes of many foreign guests, they still can't stop them from cheering for the army of the motherland.
In the middle of the first armored journey, there was another sound of propellers in the sky. Four helicopters sprayed with desert camouflage appeared faintly from the western sky and flew towards the east. Soon, four armed helicopters full of ammunition flew slowly at an altitude of 100 meters.
After, four more fighters flew into the sky, and the people below could clearly see the Somali flag sprayed under the fighter's wings.
You Sufu, standing on the rostrum, looked at all this with a smile, but his heart was full of bitterness. Today's military parade has been planned for a long time. In the military parade, the troops under review were all from the Paramin cooking army.
The troops inspected this time are the first armored brigade of the Somali National Defense Force, the first infantry brigade, the second aircraft infantry brigade, the "fighter squadron" of the air force, the armed helicopter formation, etc. Except for the soldiers guarded at the main intersection, which are the infantry brigade from the capital military region, the others are all the Paramin cooking army. How does this make him feel as a president?
There are other party leaders who hold the same mentality as Yusuf. Looking at Colonel Hussein, the Chief of Staff of the Somali Defense Forces, standing behind President Yusuf, there was a trace of envy and jealousy in his eyes.
"Ky, although the weapons and equipment of this military parade are not good, those soldiers are good and their morale is very strong. It's not like the soldiers I've seen. In a corner, Li Mo accompanied Lei Zhen and his party were also watching. After the military parade, Ding Huiqiang said with a low smile.
Li Mo smiled and said, "You also know that the equipment is not good. How can such equipment guard against the United States? That is, to deal with the dangers of neighboring countries. That's why I want the country to give me more support. Maybe I will fight with the United States a few more times in the future to help the country share some pressure!"
Ding Huiqiang immediately stopped talking, and immediately turned his head with a dry smile. He knew that Li Mo's words were not a joke. Sooner or later, the 'humiliation' suffered by the United States in Somalia will be recovered sooner or later. So everyone knows that unless Somalia's political axe 'deeed' to the United States, sooner or later the United States will find a reason to conflict with Somalia. The more enemies there are in the United States, the more favorable it will be to China, but Li Mo's words are obviously not something that a colonel can solve.
