Chapter 703 Problem Solving

At the end of September, the turmoil in Libya was initially suppressed, and Gaddafi's diplomatic activities also paid off. After many meetings and discussions, the Third OECD Council finally agreed that Libya would join the Third Economic Organization and become the fifth member.

As soon as the news came out, public opinion was a big deal.

Some Western media even do not shy away from directly claiming that there is an international alliance similar to 'NATO'. The Third Economic Cooperation Organization is nominally an economic cooperation organization, but in essence, it is another 'China Treaty'. These countries from East Asia, the Middle East and Africa unite to Challenge the superpower status of the United States.

A new 'threat theory' has once again been put forward by the Western media for the first time, and calls on countries to pay close attention to the movement of the Third OECD to prevent unpredictable variables.

These media and hawkish organizations that have always looked down on non-white countries and hawkish organizations are using their hands to exaggerate the threat of the Third OECD infinitely, and some particularly tough ones are even calling on the political axe to take 'de decisive measures'.

The comprehensive national strength of the third OECD member countries is not at the first level in the world. In terms of economic aggregate, several countries are not as large as a small European country, let alone the world's largest economy such as the United States.

But small countries also have the advantages of small countries. First of all, these countries are at the strategic point of the world. The geographical location is very important. Once a war breaks out, it is likely to directly destroy or even threaten the economy of a large area of the surrounding area. Secondly, once small countries become tough, they are not afraid of death, just like we are not afraid of wearing shoes. Similarly, at the critical moment, you can have the determination and perseverance to throw in one's throw, and make a firm determination that the pots and pans in your home would rather be broken rather than complete. Finally, more than half of these 'small countries' have nuclear weapons and are led by strong military and political leaders. At some times, the desperate Sanlang spirit of small countries bursts out. The power is amazing. It is definitely not comparable to those national political axes that represent the chaebol politics.

The joining of Libya is undoubtedly a stimulant for the panic of the insider Third Economic Organization, which has deterd some restless elements and improved their morale.

At the same time, another advantage of Libya's accession to the Third OECD is that it has affected the interests of a number of countries that are unwilling to settle for the status quo. Several African countries and Venezuela in South America have sent representatives to visit the headquarters of the Third OECD in Tehran, Iran, in an attempt to further understand the Third Economic Co-A. Whether the operation mechanism can really bring the greatest benefits to the country.

Li Mo himself is satisfied with the response of the outside world, but he still looks at the country. In Li Mo's opinion, his strength is not strong enough. Now Somalia is even very reluctant to be a powerful country in East Africa, not to mention an African power or even a world power. At this stage, the results are gratifying, but they are still far away from the goal.

With the implementation of the Somali Army Reorganization Plan, the first batch of 3,000 unqualified soldiers have now been retired. Most of them have joined the local police department, and a few have a way to walk by themselves. This Army Reorganization Plan blew the wind from the beginning, which made some soldiers psychologically prepared and retreated. After serving, there is another stable job. Many soldiers have fought in the civil war for many years and served in the National Defense Force for several years. They are tired of the war. Retirement may be a pleasure for them.

While the infantry brigade abolished its soldiers, the First Armored Brigade and several mechanized infantry brigades were also undergoing training and reorganization. The first to complete the modernization was the First Armored Brigade. The First Armored Brigade now consists of two tank regiments, a step regiment and a car transport battalion; one of them is the 'Defensor' tank regiment, equipped with 48 'Defensor' tanks, and a T-72 tank regiment, equipped with 26 T-72 tanks and Lion King 2 infantry. There are 20 chariots and a infantry regiment, equipped with 48 Lion King 2 infantry fighting vehicles. The brigade has 3,000 officers and soldiers and more than 300 vehicles. All officers and soldiers are the elite of the elite of the National Defense Force, and their combat effectiveness needs to be tested.

The first infantry brigade has also completed the reorganization, with 100 infantry fighting vehicles of two infantry regiments, a tank regiment (equipment is temporarily scarce) and a vehicle transport battalion; the whole brigade has 4,000 officers and soldiers and 4,000 vehicles of various types.

The second to fifth infantry brigades are undergoing training because the production of infantry fighting vehicles and tanks cannot be increased for the time being, and they still need to wait for the change.

The army's reorganization plan is a little different from the plan that began to be formed, because in the actual reorganization process, many people find that as mechanized troops, there are too many officers and soldiers. If you want to maintain the number of officers and soldiers, you need to increase the number of equipment, so that military enterprises The pressure on industry and finance was too great. Finally, after scientific and rigorous calculation and discussion, the staff, the logistics department and the equipment department decided to reduce the size of the mechanized troops to 4,000 from the previous 5,000. In this way, the force's mobile assault ability and combat effectiveness do not decrease but increase.

After inspecting several key units of the four major military regions, Li Mo inspected the Badada Town Industrial Park and the newly built Baidoa Heavy Industry Base.

In Badada Town Industrial Park, Li Mo mainly visited the first and second special vehicle factories and assembly workshops, listened to the reports of experts and some senior officials of the industrial park, and understood the problem that the output of military enterprises in the industrial park could not be improved.

Badada Town Industrial Park does not lack equipment and factories, and there is a lack of skilled workers, while military enterprises have stricter requirements for skilled workers, and the training of a skilled worker often takes 3-5 years. How long has Li Mo been in Somalia? At this time, although a group of skilled workers were trained at the beginning, the number was still far from the demand of the industrial park.

"The problem of skilled workers is not impossible to solve." When everyone was silent, a voice sounded.

Li Mo looked at it, but he was the deputy director of a workshop in charge of the First Special Vehicle Factory.

"Your name is Nuri, Muhammad? Nuri...isn't it?" Li Moro looked at the deputy factory director who was a Chadian refugee with interest and asked.

"Yes, boss!" Nui replied calmly, "Boss, I have a solution that may be feasible for the shortage of skilled workers in the industrial park."

Li Mo looked at the man in his thirties with admiration and said, "Tell me, how to solve this problem? If it is feasible, I will definitely make a record for you!"

"I dare not, boss, I heard that there are a large number of soldiers in the army who are going to retire? I think that if this group of soldiers are absorbed into the industrial park, it will greatly change the problem of shortage of workers, and there is no need to worry about the loyalty of soldiers. Their discipline and obedience surnames are also very strong. I think as long as this group of soldiers can quickly master the work of machinery and equipment through short-term assault training.

The expert next to him lit up his eyes when he heard the words and patted his head with some regret, "Why didn't I think of this method? At the beginning, the deputy director Nuri and many people present were trained at the Chad base, so they could show excellent ability, and this group of soldiers In the army, even if there is no special training, you have seen how to make mechanical equipment, right? Especially those soldiers in the mechanized army must have some knowledge of machines. As long as they are trained for a period of time, they can become qualified skilled workers.

"Boss, I think this method is practical."

Li Mo nodded with a smile and said, "Well, this is a good idea. It not only solves the shortage of qualified workers in the industrial park, but also allows the army to reduce the pressure on retired soldiers. I think you can contact the general council to discuss a way of cooperation.

The army's reorganization plan initially planned to lay off about 7,000 soldiers, but later the plan was revised and improved, and almost 10,000 soldiers needed to be laid off. The Somali police force is obviously unable to absorb this huge number, and it is a very good way to absorb these soldiers into military enterprises.

"I am very satisfied with everyone's enthusiasm for work, especially the deputy director of Nuri. I can think of such a seemingly simple way to solve an important problem in daily work. I think this attitude should be adhered to, and for the deputy director of Nuri, as a superior, your machinery company should also come up with a reward chapter. Cheng."

Solved the problem of skilled workers. The output of the first and second special vehicle factories will be likely to double. Infantry chariots can reach the speed of one a day to get out of the production workshop, while the 'Defendor' tanks can reach the production speed of 20 a month, further accelerating the speed of the troops to complete the reloading.

The next day, Li Mo came to the Giniboyang Harbor Naval Base again and inspected a small-scale anti-smuggling drill against illegal fishing by the Navy. Although the Somali Navy currently has only four large missile boats, the commander of the Navy, Brigadier General Gedi, devoted all his enthusiasm and painstaking efforts to this representative of the Somali navy. In his work, training and retraining are the main tasks of naval officers and soldiers. Especially when these naval officers and soldiers from fishermen have a broad vision, they understand Somalia's international status at an appropriate height and the crisis of smuggling and plundering of Somali marine resources. A sense of mission and responsibility have emerged. Each of them may not know what the future of the Somali navy is, but one thing they know is that Somalia, which has the longest coastline in Africa, needs a navy, but this is enough for them to study and train desperately.

In the headquarters of Brigadier General Gedi, Li Mo talked to several senior naval officers.

"Commander, I heard that our country is discussing with Huaxia to purchase Huaxia's naval ships?" Brigadier General Gedi remembered a rumor that had not been confirmed. This time he had the opportunity, he immediately asked.

Other senior naval officials in the headquarters also looked at Li Mo eagerly, as if they wanted to hear the affirmative answer from Li Mo.

Li Mo was moved that the Somali navy was not the focus of development in his plan, and it was not even as good as the army, but Li Mo's expectations on the faces of these senior naval officials, and the belief in loving the navy and looking forward to the strength of the navy, had a trace of guilt.

"You guessed it right. The political axe and the military have this plan, but for the time being, the plan is still verbal and has not been formally discussed with Huaxia. However, you can rest assured that the Somali navy must have more and more advanced ships. Your main task now is to build a naval academy and cultivate more naval talents. If there are warships at that time, but there are no people to do it, I will have to settle accounts with you!"
