Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 76: Hagel Conjectured by the Chief Officer

The White House of the United States.

"Mr. Minister, this is the information jointly sent by the Asian Intelligence Agency of the CIA and the African Intelligence Agency." In Hagel's office, a black man in a suit and leather shoes put the paper bag in his hand on Hagel's desk. : "The information sent by the Asian Intelligence Agency contained a basic information about the Chinese in Somalia. The African Intelligence Agency also sent information about that Chinese in the most recent period."

"Read." Hagel, who was writing something, said without looking up.

"Name: Li Lan, male, Chinese nationality, age 23...

No military service experience, no government work experience, no record of joining any organization, vague political orientation, and no political opinions expressed.

The intelligence department started paying attention to him two months ago. He is currently in a paramilitary base 300 kilometers west of Bosasso, the Republic of Somalia. It can be concluded that this paramilitary base belongs to this. people.

A month ago, when African intelligence agencies began to pay more attention to him, the local armed forces led by this person first joined Bosasso with a total of 18 armed forces in conflict, and repelled them during the ten-day battle. Allied forces of these 18 armed forces.Immediately afterwards, the Bosasso government army also dispatched a large number of soldiers and horses, and violent conflicts occurred with it. After 20 days of fighting, the government army retreated and the paramilitary base was still alive.

The three parties suffered huge losses in this military conflict. According to the information collected by the African Intelligence Agency, the conflict caused at least tens of thousands of casualties. The specific data cannot be completely counted because of incomplete data."

"Why do you have this information for this Chinese?" Hagel put down his pen after listening to the brief report, raised his head in doubt.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Minister, there is no such person in all our databases before, and this person has never experienced the political or military type academy run by the Chinese government or other government departments, and has never served in any government department. These data have just been collected by the Asian Intelligence Agency and have been verified by various parties. They are the most complete data for this Chinese."

"That's not right. According to this information, how can a person with such an innocent wealth suddenly establish an armed force in Somalia? Where does his weapon come from? Where does his money come from? If there is no political purpose, who is supporting him? Could it be that the intelligence department has not collected any information about this in the past two months?" Seeing that there was no information that he was interested in, Hagel's mood began to get worse, picking up the information that was just put down on the desktop. Randomly glanced at Li Lan's profile, then fell on the table angrily, saying: "This information is the answer that the CIA has handed in over the past two months. What is the use of this kind of information? It is fake at first sight. How can such a well-behaved person have such a sudden and huge change."

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Minister, this information has been verified hundreds of times before we dared to submit it. Everything about whether this person is connected to a certain organization can't be found." The black man was helpless. Explained.

"Are your heads filled with stool? Such clean and neat information is obviously fake. Now I don't care what you do or what you use, anyway, I need to find out the true details of this person. Otherwise, I dare not submit such information to the president, do you understand?" Hagel said angrily.

"Yes, please give us more time."

"This matter is definitely the means of the Chinese government. They have been wooing African countries for more than ten years and vying with us for the right to speak in Africa. Moreover, China and we have been staring at Somalia’s oil resources for a long time. Because of the turbulent situation in Somalia, the capital required to extract a large amount of oil is too huge, and the oil in Somalia is now fully exploited. This matter has dragged on for more than ten years.

I have enough reason to believe that the means of containment against China under our strategic eastward shift has caused China to get more oil and cannot help but take action on the oil reserves in Somalia.We are currently supporting the Somali government, but the Somali government is too weak to control the situation at all. It puts us in an embarrassing situation of difficult labor. It is hard to guarantee that China will take the completely opposite path to ours.

You start from this aspect, and you must thoroughly investigate this person for three generations."

"Yes."

"Wait." Just when the Negro was about to turn and leave, Hagel stopped him again and asked: "Just as a report, the armed forces established by the Chinese can form such a large-scale conflict with local forces, and they are growing. In the fierce armed conflict that lasted for a month, the government forces that were able to retreat Bosasso. What about the armed strength of the paramilitary base owned by this Chinese."

"The construction time of this paramilitary base is very fast. Based on the inference of the time before and after, it only took less than half a year to be established, and it has very strong walls, all of which are reinforced concrete structures, which can withstand small-caliber rockets. attack.

Moreover, the armed personnel inside are all well-trained. The number is between 3,000 and 4,000, all of whom are all Somalis. The main weapons are AK-47 and RPG rocket launchers.Except for the target person, no other Chinese were seen, and there were no non-military or military personnel from other countries.

One more thing, the weapons used by this group are all brand new, and by no means the kind of inferior goods produced by some small processing plants.Previously, this Chinese had sold some weapons and equipment to the Bosasso government army. According to our military industry experts’ appraisal, these weapons and equipment have just left the factory and have not been run-in. Moreover, the gun parts are well-made, and the parts are industrialized. The error rate is zero, even for the former Soviet military industry.

Based on this, it can be concluded that the weapons in this group's hands are definitely not what the underground arms market can provide, and it hasn't been long since they all come from regular weapons manufacturers, and they must all come from the same factory.

At present, the sources of intelligence on this paramilitary base are all spied from the mouths of the Bosasso government forces and various forces.At present, we are also thinking of ways to break into the paramilitary base in order to obtain more and more detailed information."

"Since this Chinese has sold weapons to government forces, why should the government forces attack him?" Hagel asked.

"According to the intelligence, it is because Aville, the actual controller of Bosasso, wants to collect armed taxes from the Chinese, and... Aville is not reconciled to being put together to let people spread rumors in Bosasso. , Causing other forces to attack the target base. Later, the evolution of things did not make Awell's wish, and each force was released at the same time to retreat, so the government forces had to take action to restore their authority and face."

"What rumors spread?"

"There are many rumors, but they can't stand scrutiny. Some say that the military base can produce a large amount of weapons and equipment, and some say that the military base has mountains of money. According to investigations by the African intelligence agency, these rumors are nothing more than nothing. It was Awill who wanted Bosasso to act separately and released false news. Therefore, it was not mentioned in the report."

"Since it is false news, then forget it. However, the source of those weapons must be investigated clearly, and the intelligence department should start with it, and include those large arsenals that can produce these weapons into the scope of investigation, even those that have been discontinued. The arsenal should also be the focus.

Also, let people go and get in touch with the Armed Minister Bosasso."

"understand."

After the black man left, Hagel picked up the document and read it slowly.

In Hagel's outlook on life, information about Li Lan's identity, such pale and complete information, does not require much thought to know that it is false.Otherwise, nothing can be explained.After the end of the Cold War, the United States began to focus on China, which has huge development potential and is the only major country that can challenge the United States' international status in the future.

Today, the United States has moved eastward strategically and has begun to comprehensively contain China's development.This is a long-term and large-scale chess game, and you need to be careful with every move.In this situation, a Chinese has established an armed force in Somalia, especially in the northeast corner of Somalia, a place with a lot of oil. How does this make Hagel not think about China?

Now, even if Hagel was given the most true answer, he would never believe it, instead, as always, he would follow his own subjective wishes.
