Chapter 453 The Purpose Behind

More than ten days have passed since the last military meeting, but the response from that meeting has not been extinguished. After Colonel Hussein revealed that the Paramin Cooking Army had set up four more machine infantry regiments, including President Yusuf, they all understood that in the next period of time, if there was no accident, the influence of the Paramin Cooking Army in the Somali Defence Forces would take the lead.

A big fist is the truth. In Africa and Somalia, this sentence has been interpreted incisively.

After a heated discussion, in addition to the armored brigade, the other four infantry regiments and five infantry regiments were separately formed into two infantry brigades, becoming the biggest winner of the armed forces of all parties.

Originally, in order to prevent the forces of all parties from having influence on the Somali Defence Forces, the newly formed Somali Defence Forces would be dispersed in the three major military regions of Somalia. The other armed forces are not controversial, but when it was the turn of the three armored forces composed of the Paramin cooking army, everyone had a small calculation in their hearts.

In particular, the three parties who have obtained the commanders of the three major military regions: the temporary political axe represented by Yusuf, the Poutland autonomous political axe, and the political axe armed by the former Aidid in Mogadishu. All three parties hope to deploy these three armored forces within the jurisdiction of the military regions under their control. And everyone's reasons are very sufficient.

Hashi, the leader of the Dominion of Puntland, said that although Somalia is unified, there is still a strong enemy in the northwest - Somaliland. In order to prevent Somaliland from destroying the hard-won peace in Somalia, the most elite armored brigades should be deployed at the northern military region and the junction of Somaliland. It's better to add a machine tour.

This proposal was immediately strongly opposed by the Mogadishu faction represented by Kenyare. Kenyare also has sufficient reasons for opposition; Mogadishu is the capital of Somalia. According to international practice, the capitals of all countries should be stationed with the most elite troops in their own countries to defend the capital and ensure the security of the capital. Therefore, the armored brigade should be deployed in the Capital Military Region.

President Yusuf did not want the armored forces to be deployed in the Northern Military Region or the Capital Military Region. But he was even more reluctant to deploy this elite force to the Southern Military Region under his control. Because it is the nest of Paramin's cooking army. If these three armored forces are also deployed in the Southern Military Region, does the commander of the Southern Military Region still have power?

Because in the division of the integrated forces under the military region, the Northern Military Region will deploy 4 of the 11 infantry brigades. The same is true of the Southern Military Region, which deploys three infantry brigades.

If three more armored forces are deployed in the southern military region, the comparison of strength in the southern military region will be very unfavorable to the commander of the military region. Because the commander is new, and the infantry brigade is a new army. The commander of the Southern Military Region sent by Yusuf could not affect any force at all. Coupled with the control of the Paraming Cook Army over the three armored forces, the commander of the Southern Military Region can be said to have become a nominal ' puppet commander'. That's what Yusuf didn't want to see.

The three forces have not compromised and have been arguing on this issue for nearly a day. Finally, Colonel Hussein said that the two newly formed aircraft infantry brigades had just been reloaded (in fact, only two regiments were replaced), which did not form combat effectiveness at all. In addition, it was inconvenient to send logistical supplies far away from the station. For the time being, the two infantry brigades were placed in the Southern Military Region and discussed later. However, because he is about to go to Mogadishu as the Chief of Staff of the Somali Defence Forces, the armored brigade will be deployed to the capital Mogadishu to prevent others from emptying him. The reason, of course, is that Somalia is now in a critical period. In order to prevent a small group of remnants of enemies from making trouble, the capital must have a strong fast-fighting force in the capital.

With the backing of three armored forces, Colonel Hussein's voice has been significantly increased. The leaders of other parties reluctantly passed the decision after a period of fruitless debate.

... "Very good, you did a good job this time." At the Camel Mountain Base, at the high-level meeting of the Star Organization, Li Mo praised Hussein's performance at the Mogadishu military conference.

This time, the armed forces of other parties have been dispersed and reorganized, and the control of their armed forces has dropped to an incredible level, while the Paraming Cook Army exceptionally organized three separate armored forces. After a long time, the status of the Paramin Cook Army in the Somali National Defense Force has been initially consolidated.

"I think Hussein's way of 'selling' the air force is also very good. This is a service. Although the air force now seems to be very weaker than the army, everyone knows that the air force occupies an absolute greater weight than the army in modern warfare. Besides, aren't there more than a dozen fighters in our warehouse? I think it will also be assembled to enrich the newly formed air force? Increase the strength of the air force in the Somali National Defence Force!" After Li Mo praised Hussein, Stone also expressed his views on Hussein's practice, which were basically the same as Li Mo: praise.

Hussein was praised by his two superiors and was also a little proud. He felt that he had not only got the benefits he deserved this time, but also got some more. It should be overfulfilled.

"There is no hurry to expand the strength of the air force for the time being. Now our strength is already the best in Somalia. If more strength is exposed, it will be detrimental to the organization. At present, in the Air Force, our main task should be to train pilots and other auxiliary personnel. Hussein should take this as his first priority after taking office!" Li Mo thought for a while and rejected Stone's proposal. Now the strength of the Palamin Cooking Army in Somalia has made other forces uneasy. If the strength of the Air Force is increased, it will inevitably lead other forces to unite against the Palamin Cooking Army.

Now that Somalia is unified, most of the internal and external forces do not want Somalia to start another war. If other forces can't use force to oppose the influence of the Paramin cooking army in the army, they will definitely use political methods to stumbling on the Paramin cooking army. Li Mo only wanted to vigorously develop the arms trade organized by the Stars after controlling the Somali Defense Forces, and did not want to fall into the political struggle of various plots and tricks.

"I think the boss's proposal is very good. I think if I don't do it, other forces will find a way to do it. If they want to infiltrate the air force, they need talents in the air force. If you want to get talents in the air force, in addition to recruiting, you can only cultivate them yourself. Although President Yusuf temporarily put down his control of the army, he will certainly not agree to the dominant family of our family. After many 'lessons', Hussein gradually grew up and what he said was also very practical.

Everyone laughed when they heard the words, and many people looked at Hussein with new eyes.

"Well, there is no big problem in the military now. Let's discuss the "subsidy" proposed by President Yousuf. The reason he gave is that the formation of the political axe, the reorganization of the army, and the transformation of various infrastructure require a large amount of funds, and the temporary political axe will definitely not be able to take out such a large amount of money, which will make 76 potential. Contribute part of the funds to alleviate the current financial difficulties. In Yusuf's proposal, the temporary government axe, Puntland and our Paramin cooking army each side 'funded' 3 million US dollars, the other nine first-class forces each paid 1.5 million US dollars, and the remaining partisan forces 'funded' 500,000 US dollars regardless of their size. If everyone takes it out, the finance will receive a 'subsidy' of 51.5 million US dollars, which can at least keep the government axe and the army running for three months. This matter is only raised now, and everyone has not decided. What do you think is the purpose of President Yusuf's move? Li Mo waited for everyone to laugh before he asked another question.

Li Mo's words made the senior officials in the conference room sit up unconsciously. From a normal point of view, Yusuf's move has no purpose. Because the problems pointed out by President Yusuf are all true. The Somali political axe used to be poor. It was not until Li Mo bought a copper mine that he gave the political axe a 30 million US dollars 'mining fee' that the temporary political axe was a little better. But now the political axe has to support more than 60,000 officers and soldiers. The basic military expenditure alone costs 10 million US dollars per month. This does not include the expenses of changing troops, regular training and so on. In addition, there is the formation of the central political axe and the election of the local political axe, etc., which is really expensive. In Somalia, the richest people are not the rich merchants, but the big tribes. Nowadays, most of the forces of all parties are the spokespersons of the tribe. If you want to get funds to maintain, there will be no financial collapse. It is also helpless for Yusuf to target all parties.

However, after thinking about Li Mo's words carefully, everyone felt that it was definitely not so simple. Maybe the boss saw something, otherwise he would not have asked Yusuf's purpose.

"Boss, did he do this to weaken the strength of all parties?" The expert frowned and thought for a moment before replying with some hesitation.

Others heard the words and looked at Li Mo, waiting for Li Mo's explanation.

"Hehe, the expert is indeed good at administrative management. I think Yusuf's move is to weaken the strength of all parties. And the main goal is still our forces that have no support from big tribes. What is the most important thing in Africa? Some people say it's armed, some people say it's the support of great powers, and some people think it's necessary to have the support of big tribes. These are all good, but they are all inseparable from one core. That's the capital! In most parts of Africa, there are many people who have no job or even poor people who can't eat. As long as a person has money, he can pull up a man. Of course, it doesn't say whether this team can survive in the end. But there is no doubt that funding is the most important core of all non-political armed forces in Africa. Without funds, all the strength will be empty in the end. As we all know, in the chaotic areas of Africa, two places are the focus of everyone's competition, one is a mine and the other is a city. And these two places are the best places to bring money. No one here says that the countryside surrounds the city. Unless it is an organization with a continuous flow of funds. Yu Sufu's move is mainly for two purposes. The first is the aboveboard reasons he explained. The second is to weaken our forces without the support of big tribes. Because of the unification of Somalia, the previous methods of private mining sites to sell funds by various forces could not be used. Without funds, it is impossible to recruit armed forces without permission. Without armed forces, a large amount of funds cannot be obtained. This is a cycle. Yusuf's move was to cut off everyone's way to continue to be the emperor of Turkey. Now, although all the party forces have handed over their armed forces, everyone still has a lot of 'reserves'. Yusuf's purpose is to dig out these 'reserves'. I believe that he is just testing for the first time. If it works, there may be more proposals to ask for 'subsidy' in the future.
