Chapter 522 Kill a Cheng bite gold halfway
"Boss, on the side of the National Defense Force?" In the office, the expert frowned for a long time while drinking tea before asking questions from the bottom of his heart.
Li Mo smiled and said, "What do you mean about building a new Ministry of National Defense?"
The expert had no words, but the expression on his face showed that he was talking about this. It was Li Mo who personally ordered Hussein to make a proposal to increase the Ministry of National Defense. The reason is that many people within the organization are puzzled. This proposal is to weaken the organization's control and influence over the army!
"This time I went to the United States to deal with some personal matters. Although it didn't end satisfactorily, let me see some truths!" Li Mo turned his head, looked at the branches swaying in the wind outside the window, and said softly.
"In the past, perhaps it was too possessive, and the control of the Somali National Defence Force always wanted to reach 100%, and it was a severe attack on any other force or person who tried to infect the National Defense Force. Now it seems that this is not an appropriate way to do so!" Li Mo said in a self-deprecating tone, "Now look at the National Defense Force, almost all of us from top to bottom. It can be said that as long as I am willing, with an order, tens of thousands of National Defense Force can take up arms to fight against any enemy I think, but in the end, I find that although this makes our control over the army is as good as an arm. Other places that are ignored, such as politics and economy, such as... unity!"
The expert listened to the boss's words silently. From these seemingly incoherent and irrelevant words, he felt that the boss was really a little aware of what he had done before...
"We are all outsiders, whether we hold Somali nationality or not, but in the eyes of some Somalis, we are a group of foreigners; unscrupulously controlling the army and suppressing other forces have long aroused the dissatisfaction of many people in the Somali elite, but this dissatisfaction, because of the organization is strong. , controlling the power of the army, this kind of dissatisfaction has been suppressed by life and has not broken out. Li Mo stood up, walked to the back of the desk, opened the drawer, and took out a document.
"Look at it!" Li Mo handed the document to the expert and silently put on a cigarette.
The expert opened the file solemnly and looked at it carefully. The expression on his face went from anger to shock. Finally, he felt that his hands holding the document trembled a little.
"Did you see it?" Li Mo took a cigarette and looked at the expert with a wry smile, "If it hadn't been for the intelligence department's investigation of the Egyptian named Musa this time, I don't know when these people's behavior will be discovered. Maybe we won't find out until the other party breaks out. But at that time, everything was late!"
The expert calmed down for a long time before saying, "Boss, I don't know, why did they do this? Have you been used by those people? Although we have not relaxed our control of the army at all, we can say that we have done enough in other places, such as supporting political axe work, supporting local development, maintaining the public security environment, etc. These people should not be able to see..."
"Yes, why do they do it?" Li Mo frowned and said, "Maybe there are some people who influence and use them, but these people are not as good as those ignorant ordinary people. They can be said to be the real knowledgeable and ideal class in Somalia. However, if this matter is viewed from another perspective, it can explain some of the reasons. For example, in ancient China, the Yuan and Qing Dynasties ruled by foreigners, etc., under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty and Qing Dynasty, was the life of ordinary people not as good as that of the Han people? I don't think so. During some foreign rule, the people's life was still good, but why are there always some people with ideals and aspirations, hoping to restore the Han family?
"The thing about the Ministry of Defense is to give a sweet tooth to the local forces? To dispel the hostility of some people to us? The expert nodded thoughtfully.
Li Mo nodded silently and said, "That's right! At least some of the contradictions can be alleviated. In the past, we always thought that we would use force oppression and Yusuf's expectations for peace in Somalia as a threat, so that the other party could support us unconditionally. There is something wrong with this practice, and it needs to be corrected now. We must make some substantive actions to let these people see that Somalia is still the Somali Somalia, not the Somali Somalia of foreigners! After this matter is over, I also plan to give part of the power to the forces that sincerely develop Somalia but have no hostility to us!"
Experts know that it is also helpless to do so. After all, the internal undercurrent is surging now. On the surface, it looks like a harmony, but under the peace, it is turbulent, full of hidden reefs and whirlpools. If you are not careful, the efforts of several years have failed.
"These people..." The expert asked hesitantly. Although these people have a lot of energy to unite, it is impossible to use force to eliminate all these people, so what is left in Somalia? But it doesn't seem good if there is no reaction at all. After all, there are also a small number of people with ulterior motives who are secretly supported by domestic and even foreign forces. They may be creating plots one by one to make it difficult for the organization to deal with.
"This matter was handed over to the Intelligence Department and Hussein. This time, the Meteor Commando did not intervene. In this way, no one else has anything to say!" Li Mo thought about it and still made a decision.
......
The meeting of the National Defense Commission has been going on for two hours, and the new formation of the Somali Ministry of Defense has been finalized. At that time, we can only wait for the consideration and approval of the Somali National Assembly. What everyone is discussing now is the candidate for the Minister of Defense, which is the reason why the meeting has been held for so long and there is still no conclusion.
There is no doubt that the ** power of the position of Minister of Defense is very great. President Yusuf's side, Hash's side, Adam's side, and even the two neutral committee members with no real power are very moved. Because everyone can see that the position of defense minister thrown by Hussein is not a bait to lure everyone to grab food, but to really divide part of the rights and interests. Although everyone is vigilant behind this matter, they can't stop their desire and demand for this position.Several forces competed with each other, and as the party that triggered the competition, the Chief of Staff of Hussein looked on coldly. Commissioner Palmer was not concerned about himself, and the members who were close to Hussein's side stirred up trouble and provoked discord. In a quiet and solemn conference room, people representing most of Somalia's power, like hungry wild dogs, are competing for the only fragrant bone.
Hashi and Adam had planned to unite to snatch the position of defense from the Palamin army, but now seeing that Hussein had no intention of interfering in this position at all, the faint alliance suddenly broke down, and the two sides were very happy.
"Mr. President, I think the position of Minister of Defense has a great effect on the country and the army. An old and stable person should be selected. This person must also have rich management experience. After all, the responsibility of the Ministry of National Defense is to manage military construction and military administration. We set up the Ministry of National Defense in order to narrow the gap with other countries, so we can't let an inexperienced person hold such an important position, otherwise we will be irresponsible to the country and the vast number of officers and soldiers!" Hash looked at Adam gloomily before pretending to be serious. It seems that he really put forward a lot of opinions for the sake of the country and the army, but in fact, it is not clear what he is thinking and which one here is here.
Old and steady, rich management experience, etc. These requirements are met in the conference room, except for President Yusuf himself. As the president of the country, Yusuf, the nominal supreme head of state, of course, is impossible to serve as a defense minister, so the only candidate for the defense minister who meets these requirements is the hash of his former chairman of the state of the state of the state of Puntland.
"Although Chairman Hash's words are good, I think the Minister of Defense must have experience in military work and have a certain degree of understanding of the military. Secondly, the time of China's peaceful reunification is not long, and many work is being resumed. The Minister of National Defense is the highest department in managing national defense construction and military administration. There must be a lot of work to do, so it must be a rich and energetic person. If a person's physical condition and energy are not good, how can everyone believe that he can do a good job in the Ministry of Defense? Adam then counterattacked without showing weakness. If you say that you are old and steady, I will say that you are rich and strong. Moreover, in Adam's words, he accused Hash of being in unsatisfactory physical condition and difficult to be competent for such an important job, and even delaying the construction of national defense was a slap in the face.
Hash, who was so angry, rolled up his sleeves and was ready to give Adam a left hook on the opposite side. But when he saw Adam's slowly exposed thick and muscular arms, his whole body suddenly atrophied.
Yusuf is also extremely eager for the position of defense minister in his heart, so he can't wait for Hashi and Adam to fight to death. As long as the ugliness of the two people arouses the dissatisfaction of the neutral committee members, he may include the position of defense minister.
At a glance at Hussein, who was indifferent and seemed to have nothing to do with him, Yusuf motioned slightly to his cronies Palermo.
Palermo is Yusuf's direct concubine. He used to be Yusuf's captain of the guard and an important assistant to his command of the Somali National Liberation Front. Now, Palermo, who is nearly 50 years old, is in his golden age in his political career.
"Member Hash and Commissioner Adam are all right. Work experience is important, and physical fitness is also important. As an important part of the Council of Ministers, the Ministry of National Defense must understand military and political work. In order to enable the newly established Ministry of National Defense to play its due role and contribute to the cause of national defense and military construction, I am ready to recommend myself to the position of Minister of Defense. Palermo ignored the wide eyes of the committee members and continued, "I once served as the Secretary-General of the Political Axe of the Puntelan Autonomous Region to assist President Yusuf in handling government affairs. I have some experience in administrative work. Later, I served as the captain of the Somali National Liberation Front Guard. I also have some military experience, and I also insist on exercising and in good health. I should be qualified for the job of the Minister of Defense!"
Palermo's words condensed the atmosphere of the conference room, including Chief of Staff Hussein's surprised to look at the member who rarely spoke at the national defense conference.
"Palermo, do you think this is a child's home?" Adam was hit by Palermo's sudden self-recommendation and roared angrily. The position of Minister of Defense is no better than that of a position in a grass-roots institution. This is an important position related to the national defense construction of a country. How can he recommend himself? This is almost unprecedented in the rest of the world.
