Chapter 669 Not a simple thing
"Damn it! Damn it, how can they do this!" On a light truck sprayed with the logo of an electrical appliance store, James, the head of Somalia of the CIA? Li patted the steering wheel fiercely and cursed.
He scolded not others, but the Somali political axe. To be more precise, he scolded the five-nation special forces under the guise of 'joint anti-terrorism exercise', but actually wiped out a group of pirates.
Don't these damn special forces know that this group of pirates are supported by the United States?
James, who was swearing, was suddenly shocked by the thought in his mind.
After investigation and intelligence sharing by national intelligence departments, Somali pirates have confirmed four large pirate gangs of more than 100 people, seven medium-sized pirate gangs of 50 to 100 people, and the rest are scattered pirates. These scattered pirates are sometimes fishermen. When they are short of money, they are pirates when they pick up guns. In Somalia, the civil war has created many poor people and flooded Somali guns. In the past two years, although after the crackdown and seizure of the political axe, the number of guns held by the people has been greatly reduced, the pirate gangs have guns. The main reason is that many pirates can 'break through' the defenseless sea and arms dealers at any time.
And pirates with a 'deep background' like Abdi have more stable and safe sources of guns.
James suddenly felt that this time the five-nation exercise force alone destroyed Abdi's group of people, I'm afraid it was not just a statement made by the Somali political axe under the pressure of public opinion.
Perhaps the Somali political axe has known that there is support behind Abdi, so it will take Abdi's group of people!
Parking the light truck by the roadside, James's mind quickly turned around, but the final result was very close to his guess. As a senior intelligence officer, James now believes that this Somali political axe, with the slogan of 'exercery', secretly eliminated Abdi, was not an accident, but a surname. !
What about the other four countries that have played an important role in it? Do you also know that the United States supports Abdi's gang behind it? Or is it that the Somali political axe knows Abdi's background, but 'kills people with a knife'?
Anyway, James knows one thing, that is, Abdi's men were eliminated and the United States lost another important pawn.
Abdi's existence not only provides an excuse for the U.S. political axe to intervene in East Africa, but also an important pawn to suppress the prestige of Somalia's political axe. Moreover, at some point, it is also the 'mission' of Abdi's team to create some obstacles for some countries.
But now this pawn has lost its function. Although Abdi fled to Ethiopia with his help, without his men, Abdi, a greedy and ferocious pirate leader, has lost the value of its use. In the plan, Abdi will encounter an 'accident' in a small city in Ethiopia. The United States must not let those anti-American forces in the world have some control.
Thinking of the difficulties facing intelligence work in Somalia, James also felt a headache. At this time, he finally understood what his predecessor, the Haidun intelligence officer who was recalled to China, said before leaving: in Somalia, unless the U.S. political axe made up its mind, it would still shift its focus.
A plausible sentence, James didn't understand the meaning at the beginning. And he was just praised by his superiors. When he was officially in high spirits when he was transferred from Afghanistan to Somalia, James didn't even think that he would encounter 'Joalloo' in Somalia.
But at this moment, James had a deeper understanding of the situation before his predecessor left. Unless the U.S. political axe intends to take action, with the minority network developed in Somalia for more than a decade, the intelligence department will not be able to achieve the goals set by its superiors: infiltrate, intrate, attract, create civil unrest, and destroy the regime.
Does he, a senior intelligence officer commended by his superiors, really become a full-time spy on intelligence like an ordinary agent?
Restart the car and return to the electrical appliance store with a depressed mood. James, who had just returned to the office, received another task from China: Star Company mastered the manufacturing process of a new alloy, so that he must find out the specific data of the production plant and alloy of the new alloy.
......
Baidoa City, the former nest of the Lahanwen Resistance Army. This western town is not ignored by the government because it used to be the 'enemy headquarters', but is valued by the military because of its geographical location far from the coast. Today, in Baidoa City, not only is the fourth aircraft brigade of the Capital Military Region stationed, but also Somalia's first comprehensive military academy will be established here.
With three months of construction, the military academy covering an area of 200 mu has an outline. The main building is a five-storey teaching building, which is now the third floor.
Li Mo and Stone stood on a hillside not far from the college and looked at the busy figures of the construction workers on the construction site talking.
Seeing that Stone was very satisfied with the current work, Li Mo was finally relieved.
"Stone, I plan to set up a naval academy in Kismayo to train non-commissioned officers and sailors."
A touch of surprise flashed on the stone's face. After thinking about it, he nodded, "We need a naval academy. This is inland, which is not conducive to the regular training of naval cadets."
At present, the Air Force has a Dinsall training base, which can be regarded as a junior air force academy. This is a comprehensive military academy that trains low-level officers for the army. In the future, when you have the ability, you can also train middle and senior officers by yourself. In this way, the navy also needs its own academy.
"Boss, who are you going to be responsible for the Naval Academy?" The stone then asked. The establishment of a military academy is different from ordinary civilian schools. As long as the civilian schools have money, teachers are easy to find. For Somalia, the qualified faculty of the military academy can only be recruited from outside. This involves issues such as confidentiality.
"I'm going to let Colonel Gedi take part-time for a period of time, and we'll talk about it later." Li Mo has a candidate in his heart, that is, Colonel Gedi, the deputy commander of the navy. He is the only naval officer among the Somalis known to Li Mo to receive the training of the modern navy.
There is a sure look on Stone's face. He is from the army, and it is not suitable to be the dean of the military academy. The result of being a more professional dean of the Naval Academy can only be worse. In order to match his current position, Stone spent a lot of time studying military education every day during this period. Fortunately, he was also one of the people whose spiritual power had been developed by Li Mo. People in their thirties are not weaker in learning than those young people.
After talking with Stone about the military academy for a while, Li Mo finally talked about today's intention. Yesterday, I received a report from Luo Xiang about the conflict between the training troops and the local tribes. Although this matter has been solved, it made Li Mo see a problem that he ignored.
Relatively speaking, the tribal problem in Somalia is not obvious. Because most of the population of Somalia is Somali. Racial contradictions are not the main contradictions in Somalia.
Although the clans and tribes belonging to the same race have conflicts with each other, they are not enough to have a large-scale conflict at any time. This is mainly because Somalia is close to the Middle East and has long accepted the influence of Arab culture. In terms of religion and culture, it is more 'civilized' than the race of landlocked countries in Africa.
But in a sense, Somalia is still heavily influenced by the tribal ruling class. Just like some 'stories' that Li Mo heard when he first came to Somalia. The two armies were originally in a state of war and belonged to their comrades-in-arms in the same camp, but because of the sudden outbreak of conflict in their tribe, they immediately returned to the tribe with guns to fight with their former comrades-in-arms.
Why didn't tribal conflicts break out when Somalia was reunified? This is because at that time, there were too many armed forces that represented the interests of various tribes, and people like Yusuf, who had a high influence in several major tribes in Somalia, suppressed them.
Later restrictions on tribal armed forces were also the result of compromise between the parties. Because the civil war in Somalia has deeply affected the interests of the tribes. Therefore, we can end the civil war and move towards unification under a peaceful framework.
In a sense, the weakening of Somali tribal forces by the Somali Barre's reading of talent and civil war for more than ten years is obvious, which is also the main reason why Li Mo can enter Somalia without large-scale exclusion.
The civil war has caused great damage and caused great damage to Somalia. But the civil war has also broken the balance of tribal rule for hundreds of years. Many tribes have been destroyed, bringing countless refugees who have lost their homes. These refugees are also the main force that make up the National Defense Force today.
Because there is no strong tribal support behind most of the Wehrmacht soldiers, Li Mo can control the army as an outsider.
Li Mo is not very worried about the army. He intends to train the National Defense Force into a professional soldier. This group of soldiers of refugee origin will be the main force of the National Defense Force for a long time, and they will not worry that the tentacles of the tribe will infiltrate the army and bring hidden dangers.
In terms of political axes, especially local political axes, most of them are secretly controlled by local influential tribes. This gives the tribe time and opportunity to cultivate. After the wounds of the civil war are made up, will the desire for power of these tribal chiefs increase? Li Mo is very sure.
Li Mo couldn't find a clue about how to eliminate the influence of the tribe and let Somalia really enter the 'Mingzhu'. This is very similar to the clan power in China, especially in rural areas. However, the power of African tribes is far more powerful than that of rural clans.
Li Mo is even more worried that those tribal chiefs who have no national honor and consciousness will be used by foreign forces, and the harm to Somalia will not be caused by one or two points.
So Li Mo intends to find someone to discuss how to limit the development of the tribe and reduce the influence of the tribe. Without a single thought and preparation, Li Mo did not intend to discuss this matter with people like You Sufu, who also represent the interests of the tribe.
At first, Stone felt that the boss was a little unfounded, but with Li Mo's analysis, Stone's expression also became solemn.
The clan power of China is only the clan power of the 'feudal era', while the tribes in Africa belong to the clans directly inherited from the 'primitive era'. Although they absorbed some Arab civilization and religious culture during this period, their degree of 'tubbornness' was very high. It's not easy to solve it.
