Red Alert Somalia

Li Lan, who had just returned to the base, did not feel that this trip was worthwhile, a hurried figure walked towards him.

In the future, when people are brought into the base, Li Lan asked: "Jasi Ding, his face is so hurried, what happened?"

"There is indeed a very bad thing. According to effective intelligence, NATO countries such as the United States, France, the United Kingdom, Poland...etc. have secretly negotiated and will provide direct arms assistance to the Ethiopian government and dispatch professionals to train Ethiopia. The army uses these equipment." Before the ass sat down, Jia Si Ding spoke out his future purpose.

"Finally I still can't help it?" Li Lan did not answer directly. Instead, he took out the tailored newspaper on the table, pointed to the content and said: "Ethiopia has lost 60% of its territory. NATO countries I definitely can’t sit still. We are now asking us to withdraw from the occupied territories and restore Ethiopia’s sovereignty.”

Jia Si Ding is one of the few people who know the true purpose of Li Lan's dispatch of troops to Ethiopia. It is impossible to release these occupied lands.And if Somalia insists on occupying these areas, it will inevitably stimulate the nerves of NATO.

From NATO's point of view, as long as Somalia retreats, everything is easy to say, and the looted property in Ethiopia can be regarded as not seen.But if Somalia really expands its territory, it is a very dangerous signal, and it is not something they can bear.

However, NATO, which has already had a war, is even more aware that they are not suitable for sending troops to Somalia. First of all, a nuclear bomb cannot pass such a barrier.No matter when Somalia developed a nuclear bomb, and under whose support, NATO cannot take the initiative to strike a country with a nuclear bomb.Every country has its own abacus.No one will put oneself in a dangerous position because of non-domestic interests.

Somalia does not mean to retreat.The UN observer team was attacked again, which also allowed NATO member states to see the complexity inside.The peacekeeping force is not a force that can actively engage in combat.And there is a lot of involvement in it, and it can only restrict some abnormal military operations of the Somali army in Ethiopia.But if you want peacekeeping forces to stop Somalia from launching an offensive, it is basically impossible.

Since it cannot send troops, nor can it rely on peacekeeping forces to retreat Somalia, it can only support the Ethiopian army and protect its homeland as much as possible, lest the entire country is destroyed.

Fortunately, Somalia did not lose face to them. When they marched to Addis Ababa, they all stopped.However, this signal did not satisfy NATO.Coupled with the mediation of France and the United States, which were unwilling to fail, they soon formulated a military aid project to support Ethiopia.

This is a military aid plan that is not small in amount. It is not only supporting Ethiopia, but all countries around Somalia that can be supported are included in this plan.In fact, this plan has been discussed very early, otherwise it would not be completed so soon.After the four countries did not find any advantage in Somalia, they began to plan to support the countries around Somalia and make Somalia a little trouble.

Just because of the situation in Ethiopia.Let NATO immediately prepare to support Ethiopia, a coincidence.

When the plan was implemented, the Somali intelligence agency had obtained this information, and Jia Si Ding hurriedly arrived.

For NATO's move.Li Lan didn't feel anything strange. If we say that NATO has not done anything about this matter.That's the hell.

"There is no other information about NATO and Ethiopia." Li Lan asked.

"At present, we just know that Gilma has agreed to NATO. It is expected that within half a month, the first batch of weapons will arrive in Ethiopia. There is no other intelligence." Jia Si Ding said.

"Is NATO just this trick? It's too pediatric!" Li Lan was a little confused.If NATO only wants to provide weapons to Ethiopia, then this method is too simple and not difficult to deal with.He is now a little doubtful whether NATO has anything ulterior motive behind this, or reached a more secretive deal with Ethiopia.

I thought about many possibilities, but there was no one that could convince him. After a while, Li Lan continued to ask: "Do you have the kind of NATO weapons that you plan to support Ethiopia."

"We worked so hard and only got news about some weapons, but we are still not completely sure that these weapons are meant to support Ethiopia." Jia Si Ding said it turned into a handbag, took out a piece of information, opened it, and continued. "There are many types of these weapons, including three types of aircraft and multiple types of main ground combat equipment. Among them, the air force weapons are mainly f-16s. According to the information obtained by our intelligence personnel, NATO intends to carry out a large number of f-16s that are about to be retired. After a simple modification, it was sent directly to Ethiopia through a transition. The other two types of aircraft, including the Cobra gunship, do not rule out the European Tiger gunship. The third type of air force equipment is not known for the time being, or even The supporting air force equipment is not ruled out, only these three possibilities are available.

In terms of ground weapons, tanks and armored vehicles are the main ones. The UK has agreed to take out some of the army weapons that have been sealed up in order to reduce military expenditures in recent years as a list of support for Ethiopia.Most of them are Challenger main battle tanks, which does not rule out the possibility of the existence of Challenger II.The United States has promised to help Britain 500 million pounds as the cost of processing this batch of sealed tanks, part of which is for tank modification costs.

France and Poland have also provided a lot of army equipment as support. Leclerc in France also has some older models drawn from active service. Poland's wzt-3 armored vehicle, kroton minesweeper, and Laura self-propelled artillery All of them are in the ranks of aid. The United States yesterday began to transport nearly two hundred m1 main battle tanks sealed in its homeland to factories for modification. It is expected that these equipment will eventually enter the hands of the Ethiopian Defense Forces.

There is still a lot of assistance with weapons and equipment. Due to the rush of time, the types and information of these weapons have not been obtained in detail.But one thing is certain.This time, the total cost of military assistance to Ethiopia will exceed 5 billion U.S. dollars, and most of the equipment will be borne by various countries.Another part is that the United States pays its own money.

One third of the cost will be used to raise individual weapons, including advanced anti-tank missiles and individual air defense weapons.And the cost of training and weapons transportation.Pay directly by Ethiopia.For this batch of supporting weapons, Ethiopia also took out two diamond mines and three gold mines, as well as an oil field as collateral.This secret arms assistance agreement was signed six hours ago."

After listening to Jia Si Ding's report, Li Lan slowly fell silent. This time it was definitely a huge sum of 5 billion U.S. dollars in arms assistance, no matter who it was placed on, it was not a simple figure.

NATO showed such great sincerity.Ethiopia is also very proactive. For this, it paid for a few high-value minerals in its own hands.If there were no other tricks in it, he wouldn't believe Li Lan was killed.Does Ethiopia have such great ambitions?Even if Gilma is confused, he will not believe that with these weapons, the Ethiopian Defense Forces can defeat the Somali army.It's not that he doesn't know the gap here.

Therefore, it is obvious that there is something in it that the intelligence department has not discovered.Or it's an overlooked issue.

As for the weapons and equipment supported by NATO, although the specific quantity is still unclear, one thing is already visible.That is, NATO did not use active weapons and equipment, nor did it use the most advanced equipment.Some equipment that has been in service for more than ten years, in the hands of an army that lacks training, how can it defeat the Somali army that can tie the four-nation coalition?

The only explanation Li Lan thought of was.NATO is not wholeheartedly supporting Ethiopia. The first thing is to find a market for the decommissioned and sealed equipment to create more domestic revenue.After all, this assistance is not free.All countries are short of money.This is the purpose of making war fortune.

The other purpose is simple. NATO does not want to see its own stable development.Do everything possible to trouble yourself.Ethiopia, with a population of nearly 100 million, is obviously a good target.The intention is like the Iraq war and the Afghanistan war.Put Somalia in the quagmire of war.

This purpose is not difficult to understand. After all, Somalia's economic construction has just begun. If it is caught in a war and cannot extricate itself, it will be a huge blow to the economy that Somalia is just about to develop.It will also severely drain Somalia’s energy and cannot interfere with NATO’s interests in other areas.

The purpose of NATO is well understood, but as to why Ethiopian got on the NATO ship so easily, Li Lan thought about it for a long time and still did not have a clear answer.

This incident revealed weirdness, because NATO's purpose, as long as you think deeply, it is not difficult to understand.And Gilma would actually get involved, and paid a price that Ethiopia could not afford.Those mortgaged minerals are the last source of wealth that Ethiopia has in its hands. If it is unable to drive away the Somali army and retake the territory, the whole country will fall into a state of complete famine in the future.

After all, the sources of finance that can support the Ethiopian government are those few minerals. Once they are gone, the government will never be able to spend any more money.There is naturally no need for the government to exist.

To enable Ethiopia to make such extreme decisions, there must be a deeper purpose.

"What is the total value of the five minerals and one oil field mortgaged by Ethiopia?" Since we can't figure out the key here, we can only infer from another aspect. In short, if you don't understand the twists and turns, neither does Li Lan Will blindly arrange the next step.

Hearing Li Lan’s question, Jia Si Ding quickly took out another file from his purse and looked at it. Soon, there was something strange on his face, saying: "There is indeed something wrong with these five minerals. Both were discovered in recent years, and the reserves are not small. Especially a gold mine and a diamond mine located on Dashan Peak (the highest altitude in Ethiopia), which are rich in reserves and not small in purity, and can be mined continuously. In 20 years, its estimated value has exceeded 5 billion U.S. dollars. Even if the mortgage is discounted, the value is not under 5 billion U.S. dollars. There are three other minerals and one oil field, the total value of which has exceeded 100 million. Billion U.S. dollars. And the possibility of continuing to detect reserves is not ruled out."

"That's the problem. After the first two wars, Ethiopia can't help but learn. Even if NATO intends to support him 5 billion US dollars, it will not be stupid enough to pay twice the price. In addition to weapons and equipment, Is there anything that can exceed the value of five billion US dollars?" Li Lan said.

The new key point has been found. It is impossible for Ethiopia to put out tens of billions of things to pledge 5 billion US dollars worth of weapons, and there are 5 billion dollars in it. What is it for? This is definitely more than possessing these weapons. The essential.

First of all, nuclear weapons can be eliminated. Even if NATO risked the world’s worst and supported Ethiopia’s development of nuclear weapons, that would be a drop in the bucket. It simply cannot be established to directly support Ethiopia’s nuclear weapons.After all, the binding force of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is still there.NATO must also consider the attitudes of other countries in the world.

"Commander, do you think it's an employment fee?" Jia Si Ding was also considering the issue, and soon he had some ideas, said.

"Mercenaries, what's the answer?" Li Lan asked.It seems that he also has some thoughts about the three words mercenary.

"Although the weapons and equipment supported by NATO are old equipment, for the Ethiopian army, it is not an overnight task to master. Now the war has reached the point where it is urgent. NATO also understands that it is impossible for us. Watching Ethiopia grow up under his nose. In order to prevent these weapons from being captured by the Ethiopian army, our army will be killed. It is very likely that Ethiopia will pay for the hired army to use these weapons against us. "Jasi Ding recounted his thoughts, and the more he said, the more certain his tone was, and he said: "And this time NATO's arms assistance, there is not even a single bullet, and there are no single soldiers such as rifles and grenades. Weapons, perhaps this can also prove it from the side."

Hearing Jia Si Ding's analysis, Li Lan had a bright feeling. If mercenaries worth 5 billion US dollars in employment fees really join, this can also explain why Ethiopia dares to be so desperate.
