Chapter 738 Under the National Day Military Parade Plan Seminar

Even Li Mo didn't expect that the first person to speak was a poisonous snake. The poisonous snake was originally calm and not very good at communicating with others. To put it plainly, his surname was relatively introverted. After he became the commander of the strategic missile battalion, he rarely saw him in public.

However, the Viper soon explained that the Strategic Missile Battalion does not have the equipment to provide for inspection at present.

The strategic missile battalion originally only had two 'sword' missiles secretly purchased from Ukraine. Some time ago, Li Mo allowed the missile research center to split a missile for research. Today's strategic missile battalion only has one missile, which has not conform to the title of 'missile battalion' for a long time. It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. The poisonous snake is No matter how capable you are, you can't take out the missile for inspection. At that time, you can't take the only 'sword' missile, right?

After all, the troops being reviewed must have a certain scale. Only in this way can they be as strong enough as shown by the outside world, instead of being empty.

When Hussein heard the words, he looked at Li Mo, the calm boss sitting in the first place. He didn't know how to answer this question, because the missile battalion had always been under Li Mo's direct control, and no one else could intervene. And Hussein can't know what's going on with the missile research center.

"I can answer this question for you." Li Mo suddenly smiled and said, "With the help of Iranian experts, our own imitation of the Sky 1 missile has the actual combat ability after strict experience. The first batch of 10 missiles will be equipped with troops at the end of this month. At that time, you can directly contact Colonel Anli. This batch of missiles is equipped for the strategic missile battalion. The main role is not to serve as a strategic deterrent weapon, but to train and learn the officers and soldiers of the missile battalion, and try to master the combat effectiveness of a strategic force in practice. When we have more advanced strategic weapons, it is the time for the missile battalion to live up to its name.

"In this military parade, the missile battalion is mainly based on the Sky 1 missile." Li Mo smiled and said, "Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Why is the poisonous snake not satisfied? In fact, the purpose he said at this time was for the batch of Sky 1 missiles produced by the missile factory. The last time he accompanied Li Mo to the missile factory for inspection, he was attracted to those missiles, but at that time, Li Mo did not make a decision on the distribution of these missiles, and the people from the Missile Research Center also told him that these missiles The bomb has to go through a series of launch tests to test its actual combat ability. Only when everything is tested will it be truly equipped with troops.

"Satisfied... Of course I'm satisfied, boss, I've been waiting for your words for a long time. Before I came, I patted my chest with the people below. This time, I want to make the missile battalion live up to its name, not that empty shelf." The poisonous snake said with a smile.

If the viper is a little childish, it will relax the atmosphere in the conference room. Gedi, the naval commander who was not going to interrupt, immediately took the words of the viper and said, "Chief of staff, what I want to know is why there is no our navy in this parade? Our navy is also one of the three major services, and it is guarding the front line of the country. Although the navy was established late, we should participate in this military parade, so that the people can understand and understand the important surname of the navy to the country, and take the initiative to participate in the navy to serve the country.

The navy has always been the consensus of the National Defense Force. Although Li Mo also attaches importance to the development of the navy, from the perspective of Li Mo's various attitudes, Li Mo values the air force and the army most. There is unity and struggle in the army. The most important thing is to focus on military spending. The navy is a big glut-payer. Billions of dollars are not wasted, while Somalia's economic power and military spending are so much. At present, the improvement of Somalia's military strength is mainly because Li Mo is like a tornado everywhere. The search for money has ensured the steady improvement of the army's combat effectiveness. Without Li Mo, it can be said that the Somali National Defense Force is now a local armed organization.

Because the navy is a big money-making family, and Somalia is not a traditional naval country, everyone can't wait for the navy to maintain its current scale, and its main task is to do work similar to coast guard, such as combating smuggling.

The awkward position of the navy in the Somali National Defense Force comes from this. Fortunately, although Li Mo does not want to put most of his human, material and financial resources in the black hole of the navy, he is also trying to increase the strength of the navy. After all, Somalia is a country with the longest coastline in Africa and is located in the world's sea transportation center. It's a pity and dangerous to have no navy. The last time Li Mo visited Huaxia, he ordered four Class 022 stealth missile boats from Huaxia. With Huaxia's shipbuilding strength, the construction speed of this small ship is very fast. The news from Huaxia is that the four missile boats will be completed and completed by the sea test in May at the latest, and then they can join the Somali naval sequence.

Judging from Li Mo's attitude in the navy, he completely intends to regard the Somali navy as an off-sea defense service. Instead of buying frigates and destroyers with large range and more offensive surnames, he mainly large, medium and small missile boats, implementing a strategic defense of ants biting elephants, and overall combat. It doesn't seem to be strong, but the threat to other invading navies is extremely high. With the cooperation of roadbed missiles and naval aviation and even the air force, the Somali navy, which has a large number of missile boats, can completely give a fatal blow to the invading enemy.

Li Mo vaguely revealed this question in several conversations with Commander Gedi. Although Commander Gedi is not satisfied, he also knows that this is a helpless choice. Somalia's strength can only support the development of a single service. It is impossible to develop in a balanced way like those economic powers. While maintaining a small-scale elite army, the development of a modern air force is the only choice.

In modern warfare, the significance of the air force is particularly obvious. In addition to missiles, the air force is the vanguard of the war and the key force of the left and right local conflicts.

Commander Gerdy is not unaware of this, but he is dissatisfied and angry that there is no navy in this military parade. In his opinion, the future of the navy is not brilliant. If there is no shadow of the navy in such an important military activity as a military parade, then the navy with almost no future will be forgotten again sooner or later. This is cruel and unacceptable to Gedi, who is committed to the development of the Somali navy.

His sharp and direct question was originally intended to ask Li Mo to answer, because in Gedi's opinion, there was no navy in the military parade plan, which was completely Li Mo's intention, but to his surprise, Hussein's chief of staff gave him an explanation with a smile.

"Commander Gedi, regarding the lack of naval participation in this military parade, it is the decision of our general council after detailed study and discussion and the consent of our superiors. First of all, the size of the navy is too small. I'm afraid that the officers and soldiers can't be suitable for this important activity related to the face of the country for a while. The military parade not only strengthens the sense of national pride and security, but also a means to deter foreign ambitious forces. Can the navy complete this task? Hussein's words are very direct, which means that the navy's strength is too weak. Not only can it not play a deterrent role to the outside world, but it will laugh generously in the eyes of those naval powers.

Looking at Commander Gedi, whose face was getting darker and darker and was about to break out, Hussein turned around and said with a smile, "However, we can't fight against the active surnames of naval officers and soldiers. In addition to the military parade plan, we plan to hold a small-scale joint landing operation exercise of the three armies on the day of reading, so as to be familiar with and master the multi-military alliance. With the experience of cooperative warfare, I am going to propose to my superiors that you will be the commander of this exercise.

"Wo..."

The other officers in the conference room widened their eyes when they heard the words, and then began to talk. No one has received any news about the plan for the joint exercise of the three armed forces. This must be a preliminary plan made by the General Command and the General Staff. It has not been publicly discussed in the military. Even this matter is an idea made by the Chief of Staff and the Deputy Commander-in-Chief in private, and there is not even a plan on paper.

But for everyone, this is not the most important thing. It is important to participate in this exercise plan, such as Rong's participation in the military parade.

"Quiet!" Li Mo knocked on the table to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said solemnly, "Don't talk about the exercise plan for the time being. Let's continue to talk about the military parade plan."

When Commander Gedi saw this scene, he also knew that the matter had been decided and it was impossible to change. Although his requirements were not met, with the exercise plan, he was also the commander of the exercise, and he could be satisfied.

"In the National Day military parade, we can be sure that the Capital Armored Brigade will send elite officers and soldiers to participate, and the 'Defendor A' and 'Defendor S' tanks will also officially appear in the outside world at the military parade. Now we need to discuss the number of several other troops participating in the military parade. Mechanized infantry is transferred from the Southern Military Region or the Northern Military Region. The infantry can be at will, but they should choose the best mental outlook.

Li Mo set a tone for the meeting again, but it was not aimless. First of all, the National Defense Force currently has only one armored brigade, with a 'Defendor A' tank regiment and a 'defendor S' tank regiment. This is all the tanks that the Second Armory Factory can produce during this period of time. Although there are still a few months before the National Day, the training of armored soldiers is not for a while. Insufficient troops are prone to unexpected situations. The mechanized infantry brigade and the mechanized infantry brigade of the Capital Military Region have to participate in the defense of the capital, while the infantry brigade of the Somaliland Military Region is to strengthen the guard there. The Esso border area is still unstable and the elite troops of Somaliland cannot be transferred. In addition, transportation is also an important factor. Somalia still has no iron. Road, to transfer the infantry brigade to the capital, it can only maneuver on land, which is a strict test for armored troops and equipment. The situation in the Northern Military Region and the Southern Military Region is much better, especially in the Southern Military Region, which has two infantry brigades, which are closest to the capital. If they are transferred, it will not pose a fatal threat to national defense security.

After discussion for a while, the aircraft infantry brigade finally selected the third aircraft infantry brigade. This aircraft infantry brigade is a few troops in the National Defense Force that have been tested by cruel war. The third aircraft infantry brigade once attacked the headquarters of the Eastern Military Region of Kenya for a long distance and successfully captured the Eastern Military Region. A group of senior officers, the combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

The infantry brigade chose the 9th Infantry Brigade of the Northern Military Region. During the military parade, the Somaliland Military Region hardly got any 'benefits'.
