Chapter 532 Achievements in 2006
The former Palamin cooking army headquarters has been gradually abandoned by the Palamin cooking army since the local forces in Somalia compromised to form the new policy axe. The main reason is to avoid suspicion. At least on the surface, as the largest force in Somalia today, the Paramin Cooking Army can no longer admit that they are still a small group of reading, but a member of the National Defense Force.
Since four months ago, it has been allocated as a military base by the Star Organization. On the same day, a small team was stationed here.
After more than three months of reconstruction, the two-story building of the former Paraming Cooking Army Headquarters has undergone earth-shaking changes. If people who have been here before see the building here again, they will definitely think that they have gone to the wrong place.
Several jeeps sprayed with the flags of the Star Group were rolling in with a piece of dust, and soon arrived in front of the former headquarters.
The young man who came down from a jeep in the middle was the chairman of Li Moli, the big boss of the Star Organization.
Li Mo took the time to come to the abandoned headquarters this time because a plan he had previously arranged was about to be implemented. This time, he came to check the results of the work.
Li Mo was accompanied by Zhang Sanshi, the military head, Wang Ning, the intelligence minister, and Luo Xiang, the captain of the Meteor Commando.
"Is it here?" When Li Mo saw the former headquarters building, he couldn't help taking a breath. He made a decision on this plan at the beginning, but he did not follow up and observe it because of busy business. Stone and Wang Ning have always been in charge of this matter. Today, I was really surprised to see the old headquarters that was completely different.
The original headquarters is a very ordinary two-story building, but now it is located at the address of the original headquarters building, which is a white and bright new building.
First of all, Li Mo, standing more than 100 meters away, saw the 10-meter-high protruding gate of the new building and the higher flagpole standing upright in front of the gate. Right opposite the gate is a cement road. On both sides of the 8-meter-wide road, there are isolation bars stretching dozens of meters, planted with four-season green shrubs unique to Africa. In this early spring season, these decorative isolation belts are still green at a glance, not like those seasonal trees that have just sprouted in the distance.
On the outside of the isolation zone, there are also two large parking lots, and now several cars are parked there.
Shocked Li Mo came to the gate of the new building and looked up at the new building. There is no trace of dirty and messy traces on the bright white outer wall. Obviously, it has not been built for a long time. Another feeling is that the foundation of the building is very high. Although there is only one floor here, the whole building is as high as a two-story building.
At the top of the building in front of you, there is a railing, including the top of the gate that extends to the buildings connected to both sides. It looks like the ancient Chinese gate, on which soldiers can stand to fight against the invading enemies with the help of the fence on the roof.
When Li Mo walked into the gate, he knew that what he saw outside was just the tip of the iceberg. The buildings inside look more special.
After inspecting the new building, Li Mo felt that it was like a miniature version of the ancient Chinese city wall. It's just that others are real walls, but this is indeed a square composed of a circle of thick-walled buildings.
A glance at the suspected satellite receiver near the top of the building gate, and Li Mocai asked psychological questions, "Is this the Presidential Palace of Somaliland?" This sentence seems meaningless, because anyone knows that the presidential palace of Somaliland is in the capital of Somaliland, and it is impossible to appear in Lower Juba, Somalia.
"Ha ha, boss, are you surprised?" Stone smiled, touched his head and said, "I was also shocked when I first saw it, because it was too similar to the Presidential Palace of Somaliland in the photo, almost the same. Here is the building information of the Presidential Palace in Somaliland provided by the Ministry of Intelligence, which is a new building. Although there are slight differences, the overall layout is exactly the same, and even the location of the toilet in the bathroom in the president's office is the same as the real one!"
"Wang Ning, thank you for your hard work!" Li Mo looked all over and thanked Wang Ning. Although Shi Shi said it was easy, Li Mo could feel the efforts and hardships of the Intelligence Department in obtaining this information again, and even blood and sweat. Although Somaliland is nothing in the eyes of countries in the world, it is always the presidential palace of a country, almost the place with the highest level of strict defense and confidentiality. The Ministry of Intelligence can get the layout information in the presidential palace. If it is revealed, I'm afraid it can cause a sensation in the intelligence community. After all, the organization's intelligence department has only been formed for three years.
"Boss, this is what I should do!" Wang Ning was praised by Li Mo in front of him, but he was a little embarrassed and scratched his scalp.
Wang Ning's intelligence department agents have made great contributions to obtaining this information. In addition to the efforts and money paid by the intelligence department, the gradual consolidation of the Somali regime and the slow recovery of the domestic economy have shocked some people in Somaliland and gradually caused some people to have different minds.
Not only within Somalia or Somaliland, but also from those abroad can see that with the gradual strengthening of Somalia, Somaliland, a country not recognized by the world, will face the pressure of the Somali army sooner or later. Instead of becoming a 'slave of subjugated country', it is better to prepare early now and pave the way for the future. In addition, President Kasin's reputation in Somalia is not high, and his behavior has also made a considerable number of insiders complain.
Whether it's speculation or foresight. Some Somaliland insiders, including some senior officials of the Somaliland regime, also looked for a way out and secretly sent a wave to the Somali political axe.
Wang Ning, as the intelligence agency of the Star Trace Organization and the only intelligence organization in the Republic of Somalia, although not really included in the Somali political axe agency, the national intelligence organization, which has been tacitized by the Somali political axe, has quickly grasped this subtle change within Somaliland. And I took the flight on time and picked up with a few of the most influential people. These people are worried that they can't find a way to be 'close' to Somalia, because now the most powerful thing in Somalia is not the political axe, but the army, Major General Hussein, Chief of Staff of the National Defense Force. Ordinary people have no chance to get along with Major General Hussein. Now they are not happy to be approached by a mysterious intelligence organization in Somalia. The two sides get together and get what they need!
"Is it time for you to train next?" Mr. Li Mo is the planner of the original plan, and he is very clear about the content of the plan. This imitation building of the Somaliland presidential palace is not for viewing or living. Instead, it has important military significance.
Luo Xiang nodded and replied, "Yes, the first and second teams will conduct a month of adaptation training here to keep every corner of the building in mind and prepare for the actions of the later part. Make every effort to ensure that one blow will hit!"
......
In 2007, it can be seen from the financial report submitted by the New Deal Axe in the National Assembly that 2006 was a great change in Somalia from the civil war and disorderly economy to the New Deal. In 2006, the GDP was 4.937 billion US dollars, and the per capita GDP was 502 US dollars. Compared with the last period in Somalia in 1990, the GDP growth rate reached 300%, compared with 17.5% in 2005.
This achievement is gratifying, but it is the reason why the GDP base in Somalia is too small; in 2006, the chaotic situation in Somalia was further controlled, the public security environment was good, the development of mineral resources and investment attraction, and the recovery of the tourism industry can be achieved.
In this year, the economic recovery caused the domestic price inflation rate to shrink, and the Somali currency Somali shilling changed from 1 US dollar = 6,250 shillings to the current 1 US dollar = 3,600 shillings. Although the recovery of monetary value has a certain impact on exports, as a traditional agricultural country, its main exports are livestock products and resources. The global prices of these products are steadily increasing every year, and the neutral combination of the two has not had much impact on Somalia's recovery of the economy.
Although the government axe's finances are still in deficit, with the development and sales of Mudege's large-scale oil fields, a monthly oil sales revenue of more than 10 million US dollars can inject blood into the national finances, so that the government's axe's finances will not collapse.
Compared with the achievements of the political axe, after a year of construction and reform, the overall appearance of the Somali National Defense Force has also taken on a new look.
After at least one year of training, one armored brigade and five infantry brigades have basically adapted to the status of the current armored or mechanized infantry, and the overall combat effectiveness of the six armored forces has been significantly improved. It may not be as good as the old armored forces of other countries, but as a new force, they are already grinding their minions and waiting to attack.
With the political axe budget and the special military expenditure provided by the Star Organization, the military expenditure of the National Defense Force is very sufficient, and the officers and soldiers can eat and drink enough to devote more energy to training. Today's Somali soldiers no longer look like thin and weak or even skinny refugees, but strong and full of strength like calves.
At the National Defense Conference in March 2007, the proposal of the Component Defence Force Engineering Force proposed by Chief of Staff Hussein was unanimously approved by the members. The proposal was approved by the members in advance, and after its adoption, the Somali National Defense Force began to recruit qualified and suitable talents at home. As for whether the soldiers are a problem or not, no one knows that the treatment of Somali Defence Forces soldiers is the best now. Many of the National Defense Forces soldiers who go home to visit their relatives wear special spiritual clothes and hold a pile of green U.S. dollars, which has long attracted countless Somali young men to yearn for the National Defense Force. As long as the National Defense Force publishes the information about the recruitment of soldiers, I'm afraid it will cause local chaos immediately.
On this day, Li Mo, who was reviewing the organization's work in 2006, the phone on his desk suddenly rang. When he answered the phone and listened to a few words, the ballpoint pen in his hand was broken by him, and he stood up excitedly and shouted at the phone, "Impossible..." But in his eyes staring at the boss, there was a trace of shock that had not dissipated for a long time.
