Chapter 562 Variable

On the flat grass, the large propellers of three Mi-24 helicopter gunships were buzzing. The incited hurricane not only flattened the surrounding weeds, but also blew the clothes of a group of soldiers neatly arranged together.

Standing in front of 19 subordinates, Luo Xiang looked at the momentum of his men who broke out no less than hundreds of elite soldiers together. He was satisfied. He took a look at the stone next to him. After the other party nodded, his face turned straight and looked directly at the pair of ready-to-moving faces in front of him. Luo Xiang said harshly, "After two I believe that everyone has a clear understanding of the training of H architecture. Originally, our training plan was three months, but because of the unexpected situation, we had to carry out the 'beheading operation' in advance. I think that as the elite of the elite, you must have the confidence to complete the task. Do you answer me?

"Yes!"

Luo Xiang finally showed a trace of satisfaction on his face. Although he was not very well prepared, he was more confident in the success of this mission when he saw these morale. Slightly staggered the position of the body and let the stone speak for these men who were about to act.

"As the saying goes, the soldiers are used for a while. As the biggest trump card in the boss's hand, I know that you are all elites among the elites, but I want to tell you..." Stone's face darkened, "This task is more difficult and dangerous than the tasks you have performed in the past. If you are careless, some of you or even some of you will never be able to come back here. I hope you don't have a trace of contempt and lift the spirit to complete this task.

Every meteor team member did not pat their chest to promise anything, but from their resolute eyes, we can see their confidence in completing this task.

"Let's go!" The stone waved his hand and ordered loudly.

When 19 meteor team members heard the order, they immediately ran to the helicopter with orderly equipment, and boarded the plane according to the rig of two battle groups and one helicopter, just like countless drills. Finally, Luo Xiang solemnly saluted Stone before boarding the last helicopter that did not take off.

On the helicopter, Luo Xiang informed all the team members of some details of the operation through the airborne communicator.

"We will take a helicopter ride to Garrowe, the capital of Nugal, with an estimated time of three and a half hours. It's 4 p.m. now, which means we will arrive in Garowe at about 7:30 p.m. Then cross the demarcation line through the secret passage prepared for us by the intelligence department, and arrive in Hargeisa, the capital of Somaliland, before 12 o'clock at the latest. We will have to cross a distance of 400 kilometers in four and a half hours, in which there may be layers of enemy blockade and inspection..." Luo Xiang was not sure when he introduced these situations. It takes more than four hours to travel 400 kilometers, and almost 100 kilometers per hour. In terms of modern and convenient transportation, it is not difficult, and it takes less than half an hour to take a plane. But this is Africa, and everyone must ensure the secret of the action. It is impossible to fly on a civil aircraft openly. Although the traffic situation in Somaliland is better than that in Somalia, there are no high-grade roads, highways and so on in the areas they need to cross.

The traffic situation is poor, and the enemy may be ready to secretly cross 400 kilometers in such a short time, which is a great pressure for anyone.

Fortunately, this mission was cooperated by the intelligence department, and Luo Xiang's slightly heavy mind was a little relaxed.

......

Hash's words shook the minds of several committee members who planned to follow the stream; the activation of the three-level alert was to strengthen the defense of the troops and stop possible enemy military actions at any time. However, it is only the speculation that Somaliland may take this opportunity to attack Somalia. So far, there is no clear intelligence response to the movement of the Somali army. If the Somali army does not intend to attack Somalia, and the Somali Defence Force has launched a third-level alert, resulting in an explosion with neighboring countries. In the case of armed conflict, as Hash said, no one can bear this responsibility.

"Moreover, I have some objections to Chief of Staff Hussein's inference." Commissioner Hash took a sip of the mineral water in front of him and said, "As far as I know, there are only about 30,000 troops in Somaliland, including 8,000 policemen. In the eastern part of the border with China, Somaliland has deployed two tank brigades, 17 infantry brigades and 50 field camps. Among them, the infantry brigades and field camps are ultra-small-scale, and most of them are shelves. They are not full, and the total number of people is about 12,000. It is about the same as the number of troops deployed at the junction of our National Defense Force. Even if there is a situation inferred by the Chief of Staff, I think 10,000 elite officers and soldiers of the 5th Infantry Brigade and the 11th Infantry Brigade are enough to block the enemy from the country. Therefore, I don't think it is necessary to start a three-level alert. It will not only cause panic among the domestic people and cause a large number of tourists from abroad to leave the country, but also waste the originally poor defense funds.

As soon as Hash said these words, several people's faces changed. As the president of the country and the head of the political axe, President Yousuf is mainly responsible for restoring and developing the country's economy. More than ten years of civil war have destroyed many of Somalia's natural resources by the war, and the tourism industry has completely shrunk. Now it has finally recovered a little in more than a year, which has brought a lot of taxes to the political axe. If the outside world no longer trusts Somalia as a country that guarantees the safety of tourists because of the war panic, will foreign tourists still come to Somalia for tourism? Moreover, some of Hash's analysis is also good. With the strength of the National Defense Force deployed on the dividing line, even without the supply of logistics materials, in the face of enemies with similar strength, the ammunition reserves of the military camp can resist for a day or two, and there is no need to launch the three-level alert with great fanfare.

But he has just deepened cooperation with Hussein. If it is a blatant rebuttal of Hussein's proposal, it is obviously inappropriate. Thinking of this, You Sufu can't help looking at Hussein's chief of staff. If Hussein can come up with enough reasons, it's okay to support him. If there are not enough reasons, he still hopes that Hussein can take the initiative. Withdraw this proposal.

Unexpectedly, Hussein will also fall into conflict. He hurried to the meeting when he received the news. There is not much information in hand. Hash was ready at first glance, and he was speechless when he asked. The most important thing is that the last paragraph of the hash is even more sinister. Because the National Defense Force is currently under his control, almost all of the two troops deployed on the dividing line are cronies. If he continues to propose to activate the third-level alert, he will inevitably find an excuse for the other party, because that means that he is not confident in his own men and can't resist the enemy's troops with similar strength. What's the use? Isn't it that Hussein's men are all a bunch of rubbish? But once he insists on starting the three-level alert, it is equivalent to hitting himself in the face, and he will be more responsible if something goes wrong. In any case, he was the de facto number one figure of the Somali National Defense Force. The army lost the battle and was captured. His chief of staff, Hussein, had to resign and be responsible for this matter.

Hussain, who was in a dilemma, felt a few sarcastic eyes and couldn't wait to find a crack to get in. I hate this old man Hash to death in my heart. I swore that I would find a way to let this old man go home to retire.

"Mr. President, I propose to adjourn the meeting for ten minutes." Commissioner Awell suddenly saw the eyes handed over by the Chief of Staff of Hussein and immediately proposed.

The eyes of both of them were seen by everyone. Yusuf nodded and agreed with a little hesitation. He knew that Hussein must have asked the boss behind the scenes during the adjournment, the chairman of the Star Company.

Li Mo is now taking the secretary fox to the information security center of the headquarters. In addition to the Star Organization Information Monitoring Center and Security Center, it is also a subsidiary site of the Somali Defense Force monitoring network. Here, Li Mo can contact the radar stations and monitoring stations deployed by the Somali Defense Force across the country through the internal network. It is the largest monitoring center except for the command center built under Mogadishu.

Somalia does not have its own military satellite, and the radar network is not very advanced. Most of them are second-hand goods that have been eliminated by big countries. However, in Africa, especially in East Africa, these radar stations can still play an important role. Information rights are sometimes more important than air control and sea control. It is expected that the enemy can find the enemy's dynamics in advance and make corresponding preparations.

When he received a call from Hussein, Chen Zhichang just reported to him on the monitoring of a radar station deployed near the dividing line.

"Hossein, you tell President Yusuf that the number of troops deployed in Somaliland on the dividing line has not increased, but each unit is no longer absent, but full of troops. Opposite the Fifth Step Brigade, Somaliland has secretly deployed 18,000 to 20,000 troops..." Li Mo is listening. After the situation at the meeting reported by Hussein, his eyes were cold. But he knew that it was not the time to find Hash's trouble. First, the National Defense Army must be prepared, and the political axe must requisition vehicles to transport ammunition and materials to the front line of the explosion war.

Originally, with Hussein's control of the army, he could cross the National Defense Commission and give orders directly to the army. However, in the regulations of the National Defense Force, the transfer of brigade-level troops must be reviewed and authorized by the National Defense Commission. The Star Organization is currently planning to completely integrate into Somalia. At this time, how can it give the enemy a reputation as a reader?

Moreover, Li Mo also needs legal reasons to alert the whole [***] team. Because since the enemy in the dark can win over Somaliland to attack Somalia, it can win over other countries to do the same. But this unsubstantiated speculation is even more unlikely to be approved by the National Defense Commission, so he will take advantage of the possible invasion of Somaliland to activate the three-level alert, mobilize troops openly, and strengthen defenses in all areas where an accident can occur.
