Chapter 761 Anti-Landing Exercise Plan
At the port of Berbera, a passenger ship belonging to Saudi Arabia slowly docked at the dock, and passengers came down alone or together.
As usual, this ordinary passenger ship did not attract anyone's attention at all.
Amin tightened his robe and glanced vigilantly around the dock. Then the two companions next to him nodded slightly and disappeared into the crowd.
Three hours later, Amin and the other three appeared in an ordinary store in the western district of Hargesa.
Except for these people, no one knows that this store is the only secret stronghold of al-Qaeda in northern Somalia. At the beginning, Al-Shabaab led by Amin was destroyed by Li Mo and Yu Sufu, all the secret strongholds were destroyed, and most of the members of Al-Shabaab were arrested. The only part of the backbone also fled Somalia with the help of others.
At that time, Li Mo had not taken control of Somalia, otherwise it was unknown whether Amin, the leader of the Al-Shabaab, could survive.
However, the collapse of the 'Shabaab Party' has both advantages and disadvantages for Amin. The disadvantage is that he lost his own power and was driven away like a homeless dog. The advantage is that under the 'coercion' of Li Mo, he had to give up the power he fought for, and completely threw himself into the arms of the 'Al-Qaeda' organization. He was valued by Comrade Laden and became one of the important backbones of the 'Al-Qaeda' organization. With the help of Comrade Laden, the future future is unlimited.
This time, Amin secretly arrived in Somalia with two men, with the task of the organization. But now most of Somalia's every move is difficult to escape the intelligence agency in Li Mo's hands, and they have to carefully escape the eyes of the Somali intelligence agency in this disguised way.
After entering the inner room of the store, Amin and the two subordinates behind him breathed a sigh of relief. Although Somalia is not Longtan Tiger's Cave, it is more terrible for him than Longtan Tiger's Cave. The Chinese commander did not allow others to do anything to him. He was not soft on him.
The last time Amin came to secretly put Li Mo with the cooperation of Comrade Laden, and Li Mo's foundation at that time was not solid, so he did not take action on Amin. This time, Amin came to ask for it secretly. Once he was discovered by the Somali intelligence department, he might be arrested.
"Harun, my brother, prepare food for us. Allah is here. We haven't eaten for six hours." A subordinate behind A Ming said to the owner of the store with a relaxed look. His tone was very casual, and it could be seen that the relationship between the two sides was very close.
"It's all because of the damn Somali intelligence department. We had to transfer from Pakistan to Iran, then to Saudi Arabia, and finally put on makeup and fake passports to come here. The long journey is more tiring than fighting with the Yankees. Another subordinate also smiled and said that he was quite afraid of Li Mo's intelligence department and kept changing his identity to avoid investigation in several countries.
Amin didn't say anything about it. His mind was full of the tasks he came to ask for this time. As for his men, let them go.
Soon, the shopkeeper brought a large plate of baked golden bread, and he could smell a fragrance from afar. Amin and the other two were hungry. At this time, they couldn't stand it. They quickly grabbed the bread with their right hand and stuffed it into their mouths.
After choking, Amin took a sip of vegetable soup, burped, and breathed out comfortably.
"Harlan, are we ready for what we need?" A Ming looked at the shopkeeper sitting aside and asked solemnly.
The shopkeeper Harun is a black man in his forties. He is a native. When he was young, he once went to Saudi Arabia to do small business. Later, he secretly joined al-Qaeda and finally returned to Somalia to lurk under the order.
In the huge al-Qaeda organization, there are many low-level members like Harlan. Most of them have faith, radical ideas, and have no good impression of the Western world, so they join al-Qaeda, providing funds for the organization and carrying the secret task of money laundering and intelligence collection. Although the strength of each of them is small, the unity of hundreds of thousands of such people is the cornerstone of al-Qaeda, the largest terrorist group.
Harun originally had the task of developing members within Somaliland's political axe, but after Somaliland was defeated and re-merganted into Somalia, Harlan had to be dormant again, waiting for the day the organization needed it.
"Messenger, I have prepared five million US dollars and a copy of information about the military and political officials of Somaliland. I hope I can help you." Harlan took out the money and information that had been prepared and gave it to Amin.
Seeing the amount on the check in his hand, Amin was overjoyed, but then he asked uneasiness, "Is there any problem with this money?"
You should know that the organization earns money by secretly controlling various enterprises every year, which is also a huge number, but more of it is the wealth obtained by other hidden means. This money is likely to be easily used in the monitoring of a certain force. It can only be laundering money through various means to get rid of the dark eyeliner. In order to use it without scruples.
"Please rest assured that the money is completely clean. We have prepared three months for this, and we can confirm that we have escaped any eye tracking and tracking.
Amin was immediately relieved when he heard what the other party said. As Harlan, although he has some status in the local area, he can't afford to take out five million dollars later. If this really happens, it means that there is something wrong with the source of money. I'm afraid that as soon as they use it, they will be secretly monitored. The door knows that they keep their whereabouts in their hands, which is not good for the task. But now A Ming knows that the money was not taken out by Harun, but arranged by the economic department. This is very safe, because there are many anti-reconnaissance experts in organizing the economic sector. They have rich experience in how to launder money, and they can easily make small funds such as five million dollars to avoid the tracking of the national financial sector.
"Harlan, if this task is successfully completed, I will definitely show your achievements to the leader. If you need anything at that time, the leader will definitely not refuse." A Ming patted the other party on the shoulder with satisfaction, and opened his mouth as an invisible carrot.
"Thank you, leader, thank you messenger. God, this time our task will definitely be completed. Harlan nodded happily and even regarded himself as a member of the task.
Amin nodded with a smile, looking back at the intelligence information about military and political officials in Somaliland.
......
Mogadishu, Li Mo is convening a secret meeting of the Navy Commander, the Deputy Commander of the Air Force and the Chief of General Staff.
The content of this meeting is about a small-scale joint exercise of the armed forces of the navy, army and air force on the eve of the National Day. The content of the performance is not landing operations, but anti-landing operations.
When discussing the National Day military parade plan, Li Mo put forward the idea of this exercise and handed it over to the General Staff and the Naval Command for discussion. Now it is late May, only one month away from the National Day on July 1, and the time is very tight.
The secret meeting was presided over by Major General Hussein, the Chief of General Staff. At the beginning, the commander-in-in-chief of the exercise and the commander of the navy, Brigadier General, reported the contents of the plan to several people.
In the exercise plan, the site of the exercise has been clarified. It is located in Marca, an important port city 100 kilometers south of Mogadishu. Marca is the fourth largest port in Somalia, the southern gateway of the capital Mogadishu, and the capital of Lower Shebelle. It is very important in terms of geographical location and political status. . It is an important part of Mogadishu's defense circle and a strategic place for Mogadishu and the southern military region to retreat south and north. At least until the completion of the Great Triangle Railway Circle Plan, the city of Marca's defense position in the capital will not change.
As a country with a long coastline and insufficient strategic depth, if faced with the invasion of foreign enemies, the coastline and coastal cities cannot be easily abandoned. A severe defense and counterattack must be carried out against the invading enemy near the coastline.
Somalia's weak position in defense operations is much more than that, because Mogadishu is a port city, and the capital of a country is a port city. Unless the navy is extremely strong and there is no fear that the enemy will directly hit the coast of the city, it is very easy for the enemy to land nearby and break through the capital. At this time, the important surname of the anti-landing operation is more prominent, which is also one of the purposes of Li Mo's exercise. It is to exercise the army's anti-landing operation experience and prepare for a rainy day. Of course, Li Mo has many unfavorable considerations for the geographical location of the capital. For example, Li Mo is now strengthening the political and military status of Baidoa and will A considerable part of the capital's heavy industry forcibly migrated to inland mountain cities to prevent the enemy from destroying Somalia's war potential at the first time. Li Mo even plans to choose a city with a favorable location as the second capital when the conditions are ripe.
The purpose of this exercise is obvious. The content is to face the enemy's invasion and landing. How can the three armed forces of the National Defense Force prevent the enemy from logging in from the sea or even giving the enemy great trauma through counterattack.
Because the time of the exercise is before the National Day, the opinion of the General Staff and the Naval Command is that the troops participating in the exercise, in addition to the navy, the air force and the army, can be transferred from the military parade. Because this is the first joint exercise of the three armies held by the National Defense Force, or an anti-landing operation exercise, many tactical experience is not available. In order to prevent accidents in the exercise, the opinion of Brigadier General Gedi, the commander-in-chief of the Navy, of the exercise, is to control the troops of the exercise within 1,000 people, of which the navy and army occupy the majority and the air force. The proportion is the smallest.
With Commander Gedi's explanation, Li Mo and several other officers basically understood the general content of the exercise. Because Li Mo devolved power this time, many things have long been decided by Hussein and Commander Gedi that there is no need to ask Li Mo alone. The purpose of this move is also to Test the ability of the subordinates to coordinate and direct the overall situation.
