Chapter 782 National Day Parade
In the crowded and busy media reporters, a beautiful young woman in hot clothes looked at the viewing platform on the other side of the warning line. When her eyes fell on a young man in a black military uniform, she suddenly lit up and quietly pulled another girl in a white dress with a ponytail beside her.
"An... Look, that man." Clara leaned over her head and said in surprise at the round jade-like ears of the ponytail girl.
Seeing Li Mo sitting there with a smile and occasionally whispering to the people around her, An Xiaomei's eyes also lit up. She has always been curious about this man. Because her best friend is now the man's woman, this is still the news she got from some private sources.
In the past two years, with the improvement of Li Mo's identity, there are fewer and fewer opportunities for direct contact with reporters. An Xiao and Clara, two journalists who used to have the 'exclusive interview right' of the Paraming Cooking Army, have not had face-to-face contact with Li Mo for a long time.
Looking at the flashing colors in An Xiao's eyes, Clara whispered, "An, are you very happy?"
Listening to the ambiguous words, An Xiao blushed, gave her female companion a blank look, and said coquettishly in a low voice, "What are you talking about? It's you. The eyes looking at him are full of fire. Clara, you don't want to cuckold Smith, do you?
Smith is Clara's husband, but he is not in Africa, but in the United States. An Xiao and Clara are very close, and it is normal to know some of each other's family situations.
Originally, it was also a joke, but Clara really stared at Li Mo for a while and nodded, "If I can, I really want to try it. Of course, if you don't agree, forget it."
"I'm going to die. I have nothing to do with him. Just go directly. I don't need my consent." An Xiao immediately fought back when he heard the words.
The two beautiful women whispered and played, which did not attract the attention of people around them. Li Mo, who was sitting on the viewing platform, was keenly aware of several different eyes. Soon he found An Xiao and Clara from the crowd. At this time, both of them looked over. Li Mo smiled and nodded slightly, with a small range, but An Xiao and Clara felt that Li Mo was just greeting and responding to them.
Just then, a staff member came over and reported that the time was up. President Yousuf stood up and walked to the podium. Tens of thousands of people in the huge square immediately calmed down.
Yusuf's calm and powerful voice was quickly transmitted to everyone's ears through the microphone and the high-power speaker installed around the square.
He first talked about the history of Somalia, then the reading power of Somalia and the establishment of the Republic, and finally the development and changes of Somalia in recent decades.
The extremely penetrating and infectious sound echoed around the square and soon spread all over the world through satellite signals.
President Yusuf's speech was objective. He did not deliberately avoid anything or praise it. However, such living things that happen in front of you and me can make people feel that something else is brewing in their minds, so that even a foreigner who is not familiar with the history of Somalia and the present You can also have a general understanding of the past, present and future of Somalia from this half-hour brief speech.
Half an hour later, President Yusuf's speech ended with the national anthem and the cheers of the people. The emotions of tens of tens of thousands of people had begun to guide the whole scene, and many drowsy people also woke up, because the end of Yusuf's speech represented the attention of the public. The beginning of the military parade.
"Report to the President, my heroic defense officers and soldiers are ready to wait for your review." Major General Hussein, Chief of the General Staff of the Somali National Defense Force, walked to Yusuf and said solemnly.
Li Mo also stood up at this time, not only him, but also everyone else.
Yusuf was also a soldier. After returning to a more formal military salute, he got into a black inspection car parked beside him, while Hussein's chief of staff boarded another inspection car. The two showed their upper body from the roof skylight of the car. The inspection car drove into Liberty Avenue one after another and drove east.
The whole review time was 15 minutes. When the two review cars returned to the auditorium, the voice of Chief of Staff Hussein came from the speakers in all directions.
"The military parade... begins."
In the surging and solemn singing of the exciting national anthem "Long Live Somalia", the largest military parade in Somali history began.
After the ceremonial music team played the ceremonial music, tens of thousands of eyes looked at the east of Liberty Avenue at the same time, where there seemed to be something shocking to run out of the shady road.
Soon, in the eyes of the crowd, a neat sound of steps that almost shocked the ground came first. The camera equipment of the media reporters aimed at the street under the tall acacia tree on the east side of the road at the same time.
The first thing to see is a team wearing desert camouflage. The whole team is composed of a total of ninety-nine people.
"The first force to be reviewed is the phalanx of an infantry brigade from the Somali military region. The infantry brigade was established in 2006 and is a heroic force that has experienced the test of war..." At this time, the voice of a crisp female commentator came from the speaker.
Seeing this infantry phalanx, many people present showed surprised eyes. They were not surprised by the female commentator's words, but surprised by the military parade mode used by this phalanx. At present, there are many countries in the world that use the Soviet military parade mode, but Somalia is not included. When, so Did Mali's military parade also use this model? The benefits of the Soviet-style military parade are obvious. The movements are neat and beautiful, and the significance of the strict discipline of the generals and the complete organization of the group can be revealed in a very intuitive way.
For example, this infantry phalanx is from the 9th Infantry Brigade of the Somaliland Military Region. It has participated in the battle with the Somaliland rebels. In addition, these 99 people are elites selected from thousands of people. The height and other aspects are basically the same. The neat planning, steady pace and a condensed momentum make the present. The faces of many foreign military officers have changed a little.
Li Mo is standing on the right side of President Yusuf. Seeing this infantry phalanx, he is also extremely proud.
After the infantry phalanx passed by, a jungle camouflage team appeared. Compared with the infantry phalanx just now, the momentum of this team gathered was particularly strong, and everyone seemed to exud a faint layer of evil spirit.
"The phalanx of the troops under review this time is the special forces phalanx of the National Defense Force. The 'Black Hole' Special Forces is one of the most powerful special forces in China. It is one of the descendants of the National Defense Army and the three armed forces in order to meet the needs of modern local conflicts and anti-terrorism missions. It was formed with the support of Deputy Commander-in-Chief Major General Li Mo. He has participated in many domestic operations against terrorists and has made remarkable achievements..."
The special forces phalanxes are all domesticized 'Star' small-caliber assault rifles, which are a little different from the 'Stars' rifles used by other regular forces of the National Defense Force. Because of the difference in combat tasks, some appropriate improvements have been made in some places. Now it has become an assault rifle suitable for special operations and is sold. To several countries.
After, the review troops were a group of troops in white uniforms. When they saw this phalanx, everyone knew that it was a naval navy phalanx.
"What is being reviewed now is the naval phalanx of our navy. China has the longest coastline in Africa, but it has been lagging behind the rest of the world in naval construction. In recent years, after careful discussion and research, the Central Committee of Political Axe and National Defense has officially formed the Somali Navy. Although the Somali navy was formed late, with the unremitting efforts of the united and brave naval officers and soldiers, the combat effectiveness that it has now has been initially equipped has safeguarded China's maritime rights and interests in the mission many times..."
After the naval phalanx review, it is the air force phalanx, and after the air force phalanx is the militia phalanx.
"Boom..." When the militia phalanx was reviewed, there was a low engine roar that made the ground tremble. The eyes of many foreign military officers in the embassy area immediately stared at the boss. The infantry phalanx and the navy and air force phalanx in front of them could also understand and speculate about the Somali defense forces by watching the soldiers. The combat effectiveness, which is really intuitive, is a heavy weapon equipped by the Somali army.
A Lion King 2 infantry fighting vehicle first appeared from the center of the road. The appearance of desert camouflage could not stop the pressure caused by the steel body. The 25mm machine gun and 7.62mm machine gun on the chariot were raised forward. A camouflage soldier poked out of the top window and clenched the machine gun. , with a solemn face.
Behind this infantry fighting vehicle are three rows of the same Lion King infantry fighting vehicles.
"What is being reviewed now is the infantry chariot phalanx of the seventh infantry regiment of the third infantry brigade of the National Defense Army. The seventh infantry regiment was first established in 2005. It has participated in many combat missions and is a heroic force with very strong combat effectiveness..."
Behind the infantry fighting vehicle phalanx, there is the T-72 tank phalanx. Now the Somali army is changing the defender tank, but it may take several years, so the more than 20 T-72 tanks previously equipped have not been retired and sealed, but used for training, and this time they have also been pulled out for review.
Behind the T-72 tank phalanx, it is also one of the highlights of today's military parade, the 'defendant' tank phalanx, which was once suspected by the outside world.
"The force phalanx currently under review is the third generation of main battle tank 'Defendor A' tank phalanx developed and produced in China. The troops participating in the review are from the First Armored Brigade of the Capital Military Region, which is one of the most important armored forces of China's National Defense Force..."
After the appearance of the 'Defendor' tank phalanx, many embassy officers and crowds picked up various shooting equipment and photographers, which is a mysterious tank in the outside world. When Li Mo saw this scene, there was a mysterious smile on the corners of his mouth.
