Chapter 403 The Thoughts of the Army Commander

In the town of Ilkabere, the border trade has forged her prosperity, and the Sokken border conflict has made her famous all over the world. Since the failure of the first Sokan border conflict in Kenya, a number of Kenyan elite troops have been urgently mobilized, such as the 1st Armored Brigade and several fully-staffed infantry battalions.

Unlike Mulengalu's ' carelessness' in the first conflict, Lieutenant General Oaks, the commander of the Kenyan army, who was authorized by the Cabinet and the National Defense Commission to be responsible for border affairs, declared military martial law as soon as he arrived in Ilkabery. All the "idle people" in Ilkabere were visited by the Kenyan military. I was so angry that I 'please'd go out. Only a few local residents and media reporters are allowed to stay here, but they are also restricted from moving around at will.

Even if Oaks did not think that the elimination of the Paramin cooking army was as good as Mulengaru. But he didn't pay much attention to the Mingzhu Army. After all, he has an armored brigade, 38 AMX-30S main battle tanks and dozens of armored vehicles, three full-staffed infantry battalions, and a mountain battalion, with a total number of more than 4,000 people. Although it is only one-fifth of the number of the Kenyan National Defense Force, its combat effectiveness is three points. More than one. So many armies are more than enough to deal with a small Mingzhu army. However, Kenya's political axe had a lingering lingering lingering feeling for the Garrisa group, so that Oaks could not carry out military operations without certainty.

So Lieutenant General Oaks, who came to the small town of Ilcabere, did not directly command the army to cross the Farah Pass and destroy the armed forces of the Paramin cooking army in one fell swoop, mainly because he was not authorized to go to war. On the other hand, he did not fight an uncertain battle, which was the biggest difference from Mulengalu. One of the two was a politician and the other was real one. Soldiers.

Every day, Oakes's main job is to let his subordinates send any information about Paramin's cooking army, and he will stay in the office to study these information for half a day. After studying the information, he will take the guards to inspect the camps of the troops, or inspect the Kenyan side at Farah Pass. Stand and observe the movement of the Ming cooking army on the opposite side.

After a few days, Oaks really found a little difference. He felt that the Paraming cooking soldiers opposite him were different from most of the non-political axes he had seen. They were very energetic and full of fighting spirit. Oaks couldn't help comparing the Mingzhu Army soldiers with the elite infantry battalion in Kenya, and found that the comprehensive analysis between the two still looked more like an elite army.

In the Kenya National Defense Force, soldiers vary in age from 20 to 45 years old. Although Kenyan soldiers are all volunteers, because the situation in most African countries is similar, they are poor, backward and war-tled. Many people have been fighting with others with weapons since childhood, and have no other skills except fighting. In order to prevent these 'professional soldiers' from flowing into the people and eventually becoming 'criminals', many countries have to pinch their noses and keep them in the army. On the other hand, most of the soldiers on the Palamin cooking army are young people between 20 to 30 years old. On the whole, it is much stronger than the "old, weak, sick and disabled" of the Kenyan army.

Analyzing the quality of each other's soldiers, Oakes began to study the military deployment of the Ming Cook Army. After investigation by the intelligence department, on the Somali side of the Farah Pass, the Paraming Cook Army deployed a regiment of about 600 soldiers. Although they are all infantry, because the terrain in this border area belongs to the remnants of the mountains, it is not conducive to large-scale armored operations, which is more suitable for these infantry. At the beginning, Kenya's political axe also took this into account, so it was that a mountain camp was stationed in another small town on the border.

Fara Pass Mingzhu Army Border Defense Station, a class of soldiers are 'alert' every day, and most of the rest are building a large number of fortifications on both sides of the narrow valley across the Fara Pass. If you want to break through this line of defense, tank troops and air bombing have become Kenya's choice when artillery strikes cannot be used.

Using the Air Force, Oakes, as the commander of the army, will never do so unless he has to. In any country, there is also a struggle within the army, but in some countries, the internal struggle is 'beneficial', and some are pure struggle for power. In Kenya, the struggle between the army and the air force is not only for military spending, but also some tribal struggles. Fortunately, Kenya is not Uganda, and the tribal struggle is not too open and obvious. But as long as there are people, there is a struggle, and the competitive relationship between them still exists objectively.

Without artillery support, the air force strike was temporarily excluded by Oaks, and only armored forces could be used. However, Oakes knew how the Garissa Regiment was destroyed, and also knew that the Paraming Cooking Army, an armed organization that had only been established for more than two years, had a small tank force. This information was not only inquired by the Kenyan intelligence department, but also published in the text photos of the New York Times some time ago.

"Cheruy, do you think we can use the first armored brigade to break the opposite defense line?" In the office, Army Commander Oaks asked the staff officer sitting opposite with a cigar in his hand.

This staff member is also from the Kikuyu ethnic group and is a rising star of the Kikuyu ethnic group. However, because he was only 30 years old and not qualified enough, he could not be entrusted with an important task by Oaks, so he temporarily became a major staff officer beside him.

"Mr. Commander, if you want to break the opposite defense line, you can still complete the task by the armored brigade alone, but the loss is incalculable. In the section of the construction of the fortifications of the Paraming cooking army, the terrain is complex, which is not conducive to the deployment of the armored forces, and the armored forces can't give full play to the specialty of rapid assault. Although the fortifications of the Ming cooking army are extremely simple, in such a small area, the armored brigade will face the threat of anti-tank weapons such as rockets at any time. If the loss is too big..."

Although Cherui didn't finish, Oaks understood what he meant. It is important to eliminate the Paraming cooking army, but how to control the size of the loss is also very important.

"Moreover, the origin of this armed force has always been unpredictable. In just two years, a group of farmers can be trained to be the elite who can destroy the Garissa machine step group. We don't know what cards are behind them. Commander, the First Armored Brigade is your direct line. If the loss is too big, it will not be good for you. Cherui first analyzed it from a military perspective, and then from a political perspective. He knew that Commander Oaks was a relatively pure soldier, so it was necessary for him to remind the commander to preserve his strength.

Oaks really showed a hesitant look when he heard the words. The First Armored Brigade is his capital and confidence to become the commander of the Kenyan Army. If the First Armored Brigade loses a lot, it will not even exist. Then he, Oaks, will definitely become a retiree immediately. It is impossible to be like this, wandering outside all forces and looking at others for power and profit like a master outside the world.

Only those who have held the supreme power know the important surname of power to them. That's something more important than life, which is irresistible.

"But this time Nairobi ordered me to be in charge of border affairs. If I don't fight with Paramin, I will win. I'm afraid it's not easy to explain!" Although Oaks is a soldier, it does not mean that he has no scheming. Otherwise, he would not become the commander of the army of a country.

"Mr. Commander, we just need to fulfill one word, that is 'drag'. Anyway, the capital has not issued an order for you to attack, and now the United Nations investigation team is about to arrive here. As long as you drag them here, the political axe should not dare to issue an order to take the initiative to attack. Cherui smiled confidently and said his advice.

The flash of heartbeat on Oaks's face undoubtedly made Cherui more and more complaverted.

... "Xiaoqiang, have you put your things in?" Li Mo asked in a low voice. There were only two people in the whole office, but it was a big deal. Li Mo was still careful for fear that others would listen.

"Boss, don't worry. The things have been put away. In other words, we have to thank the one who provided the information, otherwise we can find a place so easily. He Xiaoqiang, who was urgently recalled by Li Mo, replied with a cold smile.

"Hone found, right?" Although Li Mo's face showed a trace of joy, he was still a little worried. After all, the other party is not an ordinary person, and it is too difficult to put things over unconsciously.

He Xiaoqiang's face just showed a trace of 'dissatisfaction' and complained, "Boss, don't you trust my skills? When I finished putting things, they were still chatting and farting, saying that when it was over, let's find some bikini beauties to have a coverless meeting. Hey hey; but boss, I'm a little worried about whether that thing will be exposed in advance. After all, there must be anti-reconnaissance equipment from the other party.

"Ha ha, you don't have to worry about this. Team Leader Abick has already done something about it. They won't find it easily. But these people are really relaxed. Now they are thinking about the unobstructed meeting. When you catch them, you must let them have an uncovered meeting first, hum!" Li Moro said with a sinister smile.

He Xiaoqiang was sent away, and Li Mo patted his buttocks and stretched out to 'get off work'. Back to the residence behind the office building, I heard the laughter of Yingying Yanyan in it from afar, which made Li Mo's index finger move and his face full of depression.

It's almost midnight. Why don't these women go to bed? Don't you know that his young couple is going to carry out that big deal? 'Hard work' for the next generation?

"I'm back!" As soon as he opened the door, Li Mo looked and shouted inside for fear that others would not hear him.

The women in the living room who were gathering and talking looked up at him one after another. In the face of so many 'hot' sight, Li Mo's face was as indifferent as an old Buddha, walking over with a look of 'bright moon shining on the river'.

"Sister Yue, Sister Feifei, why don't you go to bed? My baby daughter is freezing. Li Mo sat next to Li Yanran, looked at Jiang Yunyun, who was drooling when Jiang Feifei was lying on the sofa, and asked with a distressed face.

If it's someone else, a few women really believe that they feel sorry for Jiang Yunyun, but how can the women who know Li Mo's ideas not understand what he means?

"What are you talking about? Xiao Yunyun sleeps here at night, and you sleep outside at night. Li Yanran blushed and glanced at Li Mo angrily. In front of several women, Li Mo was so 'unpatient', which made Li Yanran happy and uncomfortable at the same time.

"Gaga, isn't it... I'm going to sleep outside?" Li Mo was like a male duck who was choked by the neck, and asked weakly with a dry smile.
