Chapter 565 I can't believe it

When the African continent sank into darkness, East Africa once again revealed to the world the catalyst for human evolution - war.

In the rumble of gunfire, the 20,000 regular troops in Somaliland formed a large and two small arrows, crossed the demarcation line and officially attacked the Somali territory.

Looking down from a high altitude, Somaliland's attack on Somalia has a primary and secondary direction, with more than 75% of the entire military operation force gathered in the southern direction of Sole Oblast. The two artillery brigades equipped with BM-21 rockets have been on standby for a long time. With the launch of several red flares, countless orange fires suddenly flew out from countless points in the silent night, and then a scorping roar accompanied by the sound of thunder came from the sky.

"Boom..." In the telescopes of the former observers and commanders, smoke with firelight rose from the enemy's positions, and an explosion told Somaliland officers and soldiers that under the impact of this kind of carpet shell, the enemy's potential to save the living force was very small.

The main function of rockets is to destroy the living forces and technical weapons at the enemy's assembly points, suppress the enemy's artillery positions, and destroy the enemy's field fortifications and cover weapons at support points. Its function is not point-to-point destruction, but to win by quantity. Perhaps the destructive power of a single rocket of the same caliber is not as strong as that of conventional artillery howitzers, but the huge number of carpet strikes that cannot be carried out conventional avoidance, and the psychological shock brought to the enemy by the sound of ten thousand cannons make rockets, a cheap weapon, a cheap weapon, in today's military power that strives to develop high-tech weapons. Some third world countries, which have been eliminated and have weak economic strength and poor military spending, regard rockets as a trump card.

This operation, code-named 'Freedom Hope', is one of the very important participants, and the operational commander in charge of Somaliland's attack on Somalia is a close cron of President Kashin. Former commander of the 2nd Tank Brigade. Colonel Moore, Chief of the General Staff of the Somaliland Armed Forces. If you still have him, you will know that Colonel Moore was once ordered to lead the 2nd Tank Brigade and the special operations team directly under President Cassin to encircle and snipe the meteor commandos, that is, the time Luo Xiang entered the underground maze according to the treasure map left by President Egar.

A failed task force commander not only did not receive punishment, but in less than a year, he changed and became the chief of staff of the armed forces. This is common in most African countries that are still in speech.

At this time, Moore was standing in an underground headquarters more than ten kilometers away from the front line in a straight military uniform. Now Moore can be said to be in high spirits. As the top commander of this operation, Moore knows something about the inside story of Operation 'Freedom Hope' and knows that this is a secret cooperation between President Kasin and several countries to carve up Somalia. The whole plan has been formulated and prepared for half a year. In order to achieve the goal of a hit, except for a few high-level officials, the whole Somaliland knows the plan no more than two hands.

In Moore's view, such a rigorous and meticulous plan, coupled with the participation of several countries, has been seamless, and the success may be nine percent. At the beginning of the battle, good news came from the front line. Under the attack of the heroic Somali army, the enemy retreated and soon abandoned two lines of defense. Although these two lines of defense are usually used to observe the movement of the Somaliland army. But in any case, the enemy retreated, and Somaliland won a great victory in the first battle.

Excited, Moore, didn't have time to count the casualties and losses of the enemy and us, so he reported the good news to President Kasin, who was far away in the capital.

"Bang... Dudu..." Just after the solemn-faced Moore answered the phone in the office of the presidential palace, before he could speak, he heard an explosion, and then the sound of interruption came from the phone.

"Come on... Guard, go and see what's going on? Was the phone line broken by the enemy's shells? Moore roared angrily into the command hall separated by a curtain. Damn enemy, damn shells, don't you know that I'm reporting the good news to the great President?

After waiting for a while, a second lieutenant officer ran in sweaty and saluted, "Sir, sir, the phone line is normal, and the enemy did not shell it just now." In the heart of the second lieutenant officer, I can't help but secretly despise the commander. I'm not nervous. What's your chief of staff nervous about? Obviously, the enemy did not fire. You have to say that you heard the sound of shelling and that the telephone line was blown up. You know, he just learned about the situation through the front-line troops by phone!

But then he felt something was wrong. Why was the officer stunned? Why did the face start to turn white like a dead mother?

Moore can still rise up after the failure of the mission and become the Chief of General Staff. In addition to his own military quality, his flexible mind is also an important reason why he can have today. At first, he thought that the telephone line on his side was blown up by the enemy's shelling. In order to prevent the 'Freedom Hope' plan from being stolen by the enemy, and to prevent military operation secrets from being seized by the enemy, all the troops used telephone lines in action. On the front line, it often happens that the telephone line is cut off, so when the phone to the presidential palace was suddenly cut off, the first reaction in his mind was that the phone line connecting the outside of the headquarters was blown up. But now the people below told him that the phone line of the headquarters was normal, and the enemy had not fired shells here in the time just now. So where did the explosion he had heard before come from? He believed that what he heard was definitely not an illusion, so there was only one possibility...

Moore, who was pale, hardly dared to think about it anymore. Where is it? But in the capital of Somaliland, the presidential palace is the most heavily defended place. Although most of Somaliland's troops are now mobilized to the east to fight against Somalia. However, there is also a tank brigade and a special operations team of 500 people directly under the president. The special operations team is an elite. They eat, drink and live in the presidential palace. Only when the president goes on a tour will they leave the presidential palace and be responsible for protecting the president's security. If the explosion just now was at the end of the phone, that is, the presidential palace, it means that the presidential palace is now under attack and the enemy is still very strong. Otherwise, the ordinary thieves would have been killed by the special operations team in advance.

The second lieutenant officer saw that the officer rushed to the phone and picked up the phone and dialed out desperately. After making two unanswered calls, the officer finally connected the phone with someone. From the side, the second lieutenant officer could even see that the officer's face was getting whiter and whiter, almost like a piece of white paper, and his straight body was trembling slightly.

What's going on? The second lieutenant's heart rose with infinite reverie. In his understanding, the officer was either serious or kind, and never showed fear. But at that moment, he really saw a touch of fear in the officer's eyes.

......

After the military operation against Somalia plotted in northern Somaliland began, the Somali high-level officials did not have time to wipe the cold sweat on their foreheads and received a more shocking news: Kenya has declared war on Somalia!

Since the end of World War II, although the whole world has not been very calm, local wars have broken out many times. But there has never been a declaration of war, which is equivalent to a national war. Once a war is declared, it is equivalent to an endless situation. Throughout other local wars, especially those of major powers against weak countries, the main purpose is no longer the other party's territory, but to obtain resources and destroy the other party's regime. This situation is closer to the conflict between the two political axes, and the failure of one party is over. The formal declaration of war and not only the "fight" between the political axes, but also the confrontation between the two countries. Once war is declared, unless a country surrenders or is attacked, it will no longer fight back, which may also include civil resistance.

Why don't other wars declare war? Because once there is an unexpected change, the war can be stopped at any time, or there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, so there is no need to declare war at all, or there is no diplomacy between the two countries, and there is no need to declare war.

Now Kenya's dignified submission of a declaration of war to Somalia means that Kenya and Somalia will be immortal. What kind of hatred or interests make Kenya so desperate?

When everyone learned that the reason for Kenya's declaration of war turned out to be the Somali political axe to cover up the mastermind of the Kenyan terrorist attack, they all cursed. Everyone knew that this was a lame excuse that could not be lame. If the two countries have differences, they can continue to talk. How can they declare war without even talking? It's not enough to deal with three-year-old children. Then everyone learned that Kenya pointed out that it was the 'main envoy' of the terrorist attack. They were stunned and couldn't describe their reaction.

The suspects of terrorists are either the senior management of the Star Company or the real power of the military. It includes three members of the National Defense Commission and six generals. It almost caught all the senior officials of the National Defense Force. This is simply contempt for Somalia's nakedness.

Somalia's movements were not slow. A meeting of ministers, the National Defense Commission and the National Assembly were convened overnight, and the resolution to declare war on Kenya was soon unanimously passed. President Yu Sufu of the Republic of Somalia announced the resolution to the whole country through a radio overnight, and called on the whole people to unite and arm themselves against the aggressors.

This broadcast was soon spread all over the world by countless people through various channels. It makes countless people who are resting in bed or taking a lunch break show an incredible look.

The first reaction of the political axes in most countries when they receive this information is not to believe it, because there is no news about this before, and there is no atmosphere of war between Kenya and Somalia, Somaliland and Somalia. Why did they fight silently? Is there also the first declaration of war in the 21st century?
