Chapter 569 Internal Changes
When the first ray of sunlight shone on the land of Africa, the whole of Africa shook the Buddha at that moment. At this moment, 30.2 million square kilometers, 53 national radio media competed to report the outbreak of a large-scale war in East Africa.
This time, unlike the armed conflict that used to cover most of the African media, this East African war included two reading countries and one region. The scale is so large that the number of people participating in the war is rare in modern times.
After receiving the news of the outbreak of the East African War on the night of the 7th, the rotating chairman of the African Union and President Bashir of Sudan, and the President Konare of the African Union, immediately called the warring countries of Kenya and Somalia, hoping that the two countries would cease immediately cease fire and be willing to mediate the conflicts between the two countries.
However, the matter is not so simple. Whether it is the Kenyan political axe or the Somali political axe, the condition proposed is that the other party should first cease fire and accept its own conditions. However, the conditions proposed by the two countries embarrassed the two presidents, especially the Kenyan political axe, who asked Somalia to immediately hand over the suspects on the terrorist suspect list they provided and cut off the army under the supervision of the African Union before agreeing to a ceasefire until Somalia did not pose a threat to Kenya. This kind of request, not to mention Somalia, even the two presidents feel like a fantasy.
The Somali political axe put forward the conditions for agreeing to the ceasefire, first of all, to withdraw Kenyan troops, and publicly apologize in writing and compensate for all the losses caused to Somalia caused by the conflict provoked by the Kenyan political axe.
The two countries are tit-for-tat and uncompromising, which has aroused a strong response within the African Union. Some countries even doubt that Somalia can rely on to make such a "victory country" request. Kenya's military strength is second-rate in Africa, but Kenya is still one of the 15 members of the African Union Peace and Security Council, and its influence is definitely not comparable to that of a country like Somalia that has been in civil war for more than a decade.
The African Union, headquartered in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, convened the Peace and Security Council overnight to discuss countermeasures, while Kenya's representative to the African Union, as one of the warring countries, was naturally excluded from the meeting according to the principle of avoidance.
......
The morning sun rises in the east, and there are no clouds, which means that today is a good day. In other parts of the earth, this kind of bright weather is rare, but in Africa, this kind of weather takes up more than half of the year.
The northern front now uses the space-for-time tactics of the Somali Defense Force. After the National Defense Force retreated 70 kilometers, it finally resisted the enemy's attack in the western suburbs of Garowe, the capital of Nougall. With the launch of the six Su-22 attack aircraft of the Somali Air Force, the sharpness of Somaliland was finally exhausted in front of Garowe.
Especially after hearing some rumors, some senior officers of the Somali army involuntarily slowed down the attack. This situation made Colonel Moore, the commander, anxious and kept venting his anger on the officers in the headquarters.
"Idiots... They are all a bunch of idiots, three hours... For three hours, I can't even attack the defense line of a regiment. I'm going to report to the president that he has withdrawn your post..." Moore clenched his hands tightly and waved his fists fiercely at his hands, and his red and bloody eyes gave off a beast-like fierce light, which made people not Fight in the cold.
Since he learned that President Cassin had an accident, he has been distracted from the situation in the capital. Later, he finally got the news from a friend who was close to him that President Cassin was killed. Even if he was mentally prepared, he was still scared by the news. Once the news of President Cassin's death came here, those officers who were not very calm were bound to breed different minds. At that time, his new Chief of General Staff would definitely not be able to suppress it, and there was no need to think about the result. So after he got the news, he immediately sealed the lock. He planned to capture Garowe in one fell swoop with the sharpness before the news came out. At that time, his commander and Chief of General Staff of Somaliland, must have gained great prestige in the army, even if he became the new president. It's impossible. For the sake of the throne, Moore ignored it, but who knew that the news reached the front line just two hours later and was known by many senior officers. Then Moore felt that the strength of the army's attack was weaker, and some offensive troops even just pretended and did not work hard. How did Moore accept this? The forward of the army is less than 20 kilometers away from Garowei, and he can take her with a single effort, but judging from the three hours of fighting, this idea has become a luxury hope.
"Sar, I heard that President Kasin was killed by the Somali special forces?" Just as Moore was walking back and forth and anxious, a large number of reprimanded officers gathered together, and a voice with a different meaning came.
"Who? Who is spreading rumors to demago the army? Moore's heart suddenly turned his head angrily, like a lion who had not eaten for a few days, staring at his men fiercely.
Then, Moore saw the 'spreading rumors' man, a major officer, from the expressions of his men. The major officer is also a senior officer in the Somaliland army. If he remembers it well, the major is the battalion commander of an infantry battalion involved in the attack on Somalia.
"Hajor Saeed!" Colonel Moore recalled the name of the officer and said angrily, "Tell me, who ordered you to walk here and deceive the army? Otherwise, it will be dealt with by military law. Moore has made up his mind that no matter what the major says, he will not admit it and shoot the major as a anniam. In this way, they can stand up, and second, let the officers in the army who heard the rumors of President Cassin's death "wake up" and obey themselves as much as possible to capture Garoweh.
"Sir Moore, do you still want to hide the news of President Cassin's murder at this time?" Major Said asked in a low voice, facing Moore's fierce eyes without dodging.
"Nonsense! What do I have to hide? I just talked to President Cassin on the phone. He was very dissatisfied with us that we hadn't taken Garowe for so long and scolded us severely. Major Said, why on earth do you want to spread rumors about the murder of the president? Are you a annianniatriate sent from Somalia? A flash of panic flashed in Moore's eyes, and then he was ashamed and angry. Directly target Said as a spy.
"Haha... Officer Moore, you know who has ulterior motives." Major Said sneered, "I know that the Somali special forces raided the presidential palace last night, and President Cassin was killed, and... Colonel Galey, the commander of the First Tank Brigade, has now controlled the capital and our families. Do you still want to hide it now?"
"Wo..." As soon as Major Said said this, the command post was in chaos. The people here are all real-power officers of the Somaliland army, and their families are basically in the capital. This was a means of President Cassin to control the army at the beginning, which is why the Somali army attacked so fiercely at the beginning, but when the news of President Cassin's murder spread to the front line, many officers began to work and did not work. Now when they hear Saeed's words and Moore's panicked look, they can guess the truth. As Saeed said, President Kasin was really killed, but Moore did not tell them, so that the commander of the First Tank Brigade could control the capital and control their families at the first time.
"Come on... Pull this Somali spy down and shoot him..." Moore can't be described as anger at this moment. It's appropriate to describe it as desperate. Since the news could not be blocked, he planned to force everyone to continue to attack. As long as he captured Garowe, he could use Garowe as a base to fight against Gayle, the commander of the First Tank Brigade, who controlled the capital. With the number of troops he controlled and logistical supplies, Gayle was absolutely impossible to fight him. .
The smiling Moore seems to have seen the presidency of Somaliland waving to him.
But he shouted for a long time, and no guard rushed in to carry out the order. This made him feel bad. Sure enough, just then, he heard Said's damn voice again.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Moore. When I came, I accidentally brought an extra company of guards. In order not to waste these guards, I asked them to replace the brothers who were on guard outside the headquarters." Said looked at the panicked Colonel Moore with a smile and said.
This word fell in everyone's ears, and his face changed, and his eyes looked at Said became different, with fear and fear in it. No one expected that this major had been prepared for a long time. If he accidentally brought more guards, it was all bullshit. He must have been ready for a long time and caught everyone.
"Brother Saeed, we used to live in a tent. You can't kill your brother!"
"Brother Said, your camp was in danger last time, brother, I tried my best to support you!"
"..." Other officers are also old-fashioned. Seeing that Said controlled the scene, he quickly put down his body and fell in love with each other. I'm afraid that Said's order will click everyone off.
"Guys... Everyone, listen to me." Said couldn't laugh or cry as he looked at the officers with higher ranks and affectionately calling his eldest brothers and officers, with goose bumps on his body.
"I know everyone's thoughts. Here I can assure you that as long as you promise to stay here quietly for three hours, I won't hurt anyone." Said said solemnly that this promise made the uneasy officers finally let go of a little suspense.
"Of course, if anyone dares to do small moves, the gun in the guard hand I brought is not vegetarian."
"That's it, Brother Said. We promise to stay here for three hours, do nothing, and don't contact anyone." When the officers saw Said's murderous warning, they were stunned at the same time, and then they all patted their chests to promise.
"Brother Saeed, I don't know how you are going to... settle us? And our family is still in the hands of Gary..." At this moment, an officer hesitated to ask a question, which was also a problem that everyone was nervous about.
