Chapter 563 The Clouds of War

At 5:00 p.m. on April 6, Mogadishu time, Major General Hussein, Vice Chairman of the Somali National Defense Commission and Chief of General Staff of the National Defense Force, issued a three-level alert order to the Somali army on behalf of the Somali Army.

The First Armored Brigade of the Capital Military Region. The first aircraft brigade camp of the Southern Military Region sounded a warning alert at the same time. Some of the troops were all adhering to their combat positions, were fully equipped and ready to attack at any time. The 5th Infantry Brigade, the 11th Infantry Brigade and several key defense lines of the Northern Military Region were constantly sounding. Ten thousand officers and soldiers of these two troops will mobilize the war, put ammunition and build field fortifications. The clouds of the war could not be stopped and condensed over the Somali Peninsula.

"Buzz..." At a military airport on the outskirts of the capital Mogadishu, when the last MiG-25 fighter flew through the runway of nearly 1,000 meters to the sky, it formed a combat formation with another 11 MiG-23 and MiG-25 fighters in the sky and flew north.

When fighter jets carrying missiles flew over Mogadishu with the sound of thunder, the shock to more than one million citizens of Mogadishu was huge, because at this moment, all Somali media and broadcasters were reporting that the commander-in-chief of the General Staff of the Somali Defence Force announced that the whole army should start a third-level police due to a terrorist attack. The command of precept.

There's going to war! This is the first thought in everyone's mind. Some wealthy people are considering whether to take the rich young to go abroad to avoid the limelight, while ordinary Somalis are anxious to know that they are going to war with Somalia? Where is the battlefield? These people living in poverty are unwilling to become refugees with their families when they are not in despair.

Then the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Somalia issued an alert notice to all countries with embassies in Somalia, because Somalia is currently being attacked by terrorist attacks. It is hoped that people from all countries will not visit the Somali border areas and near the military restricted zones, because these places are in danger to a certain extent before the alarm is lifted.

When the political axe department ordered the recruitment of civilian trucks to transport supplies to the Northern Military Region, Li Mo and the senior officials of Somalia were waiting for the movement of the north. All foreign countries that have received news of changes in Somalia have also inquired about the news through their respective channels and expressed concern about the sudden situation in Somalia.

"Boss, take a break. You've been watching it for hours." In the hall of the Information Security Center, the fox asked Li Mo, who was sitting in front of a large screen, to have a cup of tea at the right temperature and whispered.

Since the Kalis logistics warehouse was blown up, Li Mo has almost stayed here. In addition to occasionally answering phone calls from his men, he has been paying attention to the news from all parties in Somalia. Under the high degree of mental tension, Li Mo's face also showed a trace of fatigue, which made the fox very sad.

"Fox, what time is it now?" Li Mo took the cup and took a sip and asked.

Seeing that the man had no sign of wanting to rest, the fox sighed in his heart. She knew that men would not rest at this time anyway.

"It's 8:46 p.m. Just now, Minister Wang sent a message back that Captain Luo and others have crossed the dividing line to Las Arnold, the capital of Soleil, and with the help of a Somaliland infantry brigade commander we have gathered, pretending to be Somaliland soldiers to go to Hargeza. It is expected to reach the target area before 12 o'clock. The fox opened the folder he carried with him. It was not very important for each department. He must let the boss Li Mo sort out the things he dealt with immediately and report every half an hour. Of course, this is just a tense moment like today, and there is no deliberate time regulation at ordinary times.

"Boss... Boss, something's wrong!" Just after Li Mo nodded and said that he knew it, Chen Zhichang, who had been working with his assistant in front of a specially configured computer, suddenly pushed away the chair, stood up and reported with a solemn face.

"Sple radar stations at the border between the south and Kenya have just captured a number of Kenyan reconnaissance aircraft flying over the border to investigate our country. I monitored some information that was very bad for us through the Kenya National Telecommunications Network. Chen Zhichang's tone was extremely solemn, which made people know at a glance that something big happened again.

"What did you say? Kenya..." Li Mo brushed up from the chair, and his round eyes emitted a terrible light, staring at Chen Zhichang. I want to see something on each other's face.

Chen Zhichang nodded heavily and said, "Yes, boss, there are large loopholes in the communication network within the Kenyan military, or they are not aware of these loopholes, or because some officers in the Kenyan military do not have a strong sense of confidentiality, they even use civil communication networks to make calls involving military secrets. We have monitored some very important information. Through the analysis of this information, I am very sure that there will be a major event at the Soakin border between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. tomorrow, and there may even be a direct military conflict. As the chief officer of the Information Security Center, Chen Zhichang knows the current situation best. Northern Somaliland's military deployment against Somalia has reached its last minute. From tonight to a certain time tomorrow morning, a military operation against Somalia will be launched. At this time, Kenya also came to participate. It's even worse for Somalia.

The military strength of Somaliland alone is similar to that of Somalia. The territory of 130,000 square kilometers has a regular army of 30,000 people. Somalia is five times the size of Somaliland, and the number of troops is only twice that of Somaliland. In addition, in terms of weapons and equipment, Somalia has an advantage in only a small number of troops. With a large territory, the army will certainly be scattered, which is not conducive to the defense of Somalia. Somaliland can mobilize most of the troops to the east and gather their forces together to form a fist attack.

"Kenya...Somaliland..." Li Mo said the names of these two countries and regions, and his face became ugly. By this time, he had vaguely grasped who the enemy was in the dark. There are very few organizations in the world that can unite the two countries and regions to carry out military operations against Somalia at the same time. The United States, which has always had ideas about Somalia, is one of them.

Somalia's geographical location is dangerous. It can curb the access to the Red Sea, and can cover the entire Arabian Sea and even parts of the Middle East through missiles and naval aviation. In addition, more than a decade of civil war and the absence of regional powers in the surrounding areas make Somalia very suitable for the needs of the U.S. African Command's address. Once the Somali regime is controlled, the African Theater Command is worthy of its name, which is of great strategic significance to the United States as a global scale. However, after the establishment of the New Deal in Somalia, the people in power in Somalia today have no good impression of the United States, which makes American politics or peaceful means to divide and subvert. Finally, it is impossible to use the U.S. military to enter Somalia directly. Not to mention that the United States is now falling into the quagmire of war in Iraq and Afghanistan, it is impossible to draw more forces to launch a third war for the time being, that is, for special historical reasons, Somalia belongs to the territory of British allies, and it is not convenient for the United States to do it. At present, there are more Huaxia here. The United States has a lot of concerns about using military means directly. And the best way is undoubtedly to mess up between African countries. How to mess up? The best thing is that there is a war between countries.

Somalia's economic strength is gradually recovering, and national defense construction is in full swing, which is a lot of pressure on neighboring countries. Ethiopia is better. The friendship between the two countries is greater than hostility, and the Somali Defense Force has not increased its defense force on the Eso border, which puts little pressure on Ethiopia. However, at the border between Somaliland and Kenya, elite troops are frequently mobilized for training and armed intimidation.

If Somaliland and Kenya want to eliminate the military pressure brought by Somalia, they must disrupt Somalia. It is best to bring Somalia back to the time of civil war. It is difficult to do this with their own strength. Even if they do it, their own vitality will be greatly damaged. In this way, union becomes a demand and a way to maximize benefits and minimize losses. Under the mediation of some forces, this joint agreement was reached secretly.

Li Mo felt that although his speculation was a little different from the actual situation, it should not be far away. Kenya and Somaliland united to launch a military invasion of Somalia, the purpose of which will not be to occupy Somali territory, but to destroy the Somali regime and the Paramin army led by Limo.

"Fox, call Aka and ask him to be vigilant. Kenya may attack his defense. Li Mo suppressed his anxiety and gave the first order. Aka was once the commander of the base guard company. Now he is the commander of the first infantry brigade. Two months ago, he was replaced by the Sokken border. His main task was to guard Kenya.

"Pass my order to Saleh, the third infantry brigade stationed in Badadada, to immediately lead the 7th infantry regiment and the eighth infantry regiment of the third infantry brigade to the Kenyan border, ready to receive support the first infantry brigade. Pay attention to let Saleh remember to keep it a secret. This action should be done unconsciously. The fox quickly recorded Li Mo's second order.

"Third, let the team of Shanglai's second aircraft brigade cross the Debi River and hide near the F3 near the Soken border. As long as Kenya launches a military invasion of Somalia, let them immediately cross the Soken border and attack Garissa! This order was passed to He Xiaoqiang at the same time. I remember that there were two armed helicopters assigned to each aircraft brigade, plus the remaining six of the air assault battalion, all of which were allocated to this aircraft regiment.

"Fourth, let the Viper's strategic missile battalion move immediately and get ready for me." Li Mo hesitated for a long time and still gave this order.

The faces of the fox and Chen Zhichang on the side changed slightly. Both of them knew what this order meant, which meant that once things changed in an unpredictable direction, that is, the Somali Defense Forces could not resist the invading forces, Li Mo would use nuclear weapons. Somalia is not a member of the World Nuclear Club, nor has it made a commitment not to use nuclear weapons first. Once the Star Organization reaches the time of life and death, Li Mo will definitely be desperate to use nuclear weapons.

"Okay, go and give the order. "Fox!" After Li Mo waved his hand and said, he suddenly shouted at the fox who was about to leave. "Don't make any last record. Communicate it verbally to several senior officials of the organization. Forget it if it's too late."

The fox understood what the boss was scrupulous and left the hall without hesitation.
