Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 273: Taking Somaliland and Puntland

"Unconditional surrender?"

When Li Lan heard this request, he was still stunned for a while, but he also quickly corrected his thoughts and accepted the surrender request from the Somaliland Dier.

"Commander, you didn't intend to..." Natasha was halfway through, motioning for a wipe of her neck.

"That was when the other side resolutely resisted. In this situation, if we can quickly win Somaliland, it is more important than anything. It seems that I am also somewhat overestimating Somaliland's fighting determination." Li Lan said.

"That's also normal. There are two million people in Somaliland, 80% of them are on our side. This war was originally the insistence of the Dier people, and no one supported it. No one supported it. The war against China will definitely not have a good result. They are not too ignorant to be able to make a choice in the current situation." Natasha continued to analyze: "This matter is more pros and cons for us, after all, Somalia People are not our real opponents, but those European and American countries. According to intelligence agencies, the American Blackwater Company and the French Foreign Corps have passed air transportation and sent a large number of weapons and personnel to Mogadishu. A conservative estimate , The number has exceeded 1,000. The main personnel are from the French Foreign Corps, and the combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated."

"Indeed!" Li Lan nodded in agreement. He decided to take Puntland and Somaliland. He was considering eliminating the hidden dangers on both sides, increasing his defense depth and defensive circle, and then concentrated most of his forces and marched south in one fell swoop. Unify Somalia.

And this speed must be to complete the mandatory mission of the base before the United States sends troops.It saves too much time.

However, this task is not so easy to complete.He is confident that the United States will never send troops to him alone now.If you contact those allies.It is definitely not something that can be completed in a day or two. Negotiations on benefits and contributions alone cannot be completed in one or two months.Especially now the United States has made those allies unable to feel the strength of the past.If you want these countries to send troops, the United States must show more interest.For the United States, which has always dominated the world, it may not be so easy to compromise.

Of course, Li Lan is also very clear that he cannot fully judge the future, and perhaps this war will not be fought at all.This is what Li Lan hopes to see.Why is Li Lan still not letting the aircraft carrier come out? Just to avoid the outbreak of war as much as possible.

In his opinion, if Li Lan took out all the things at the bottom of the box at once, it is very likely that not only the deterrent effect he wants will not be achieved, but it will also cause counter-effects.To provoke the determination of European and American countries to destroy him, it is better to boil the frog in warm water and slowly let them accept the reality, which can also continuously break the other party's plan.Let them, who are about to act, have to re-make a plan, or directly signal.

However, for these mercenaries who stood in front of him.Li Lan would not be the slightest polite.Since these people are in front of their own eyes, they are their own enemies.

"Notify Said and let him pack everything. Come see me right away." Seeing that she was about to leave Natasha, Li Lan thought for a moment.He stopped quickly and said: "Don't call him back. You send him a message personally, saying that I will let him go to Mogadishu, take his assistant, and the two will go there. And their task is , Give me sabotage to my heart's content, without any hard targets, he does whatever he likes."

"Understood." Natasha nodded with a smile, and walked out of Li Lan's office.

After Natasha left, Li Lan also walked out of his office and came to the General Command of the Three Armies on the second floor.

"What stage is the battle in Puntland now?" Li Lan asked Tan Ya as soon as he entered the headquarters.

"It is 12 o'clock at noon. Eight hours have passed since we started the offensive. When the Somaliland Republic began to walk out of the bunker and surrender to us, the progress of the 2nd Armored Brigade and the 2nd Infantry Brigade on the Eastern Front. It went very smoothly, and there was no chance at all."

"In other words, the first stage of the offense can almost be declared over?" Li Lan asked.

"In almost four hours, you can make such an announcement." Tan Ya said in a stunned manner.

"Very good, unexpectedly the efficiency has been directly increased by four times." Li Lan praised.

Compared with the war in Somaliland, the 100,000 square kilometers of land in Puntland is very barren.One hundred thousand square kilometers, and one million people, Puntland’s main force had long been defeated in the battle two years ago.The economic city was again occupied by Li Lan, and Puntland, which had little financial resources, had no way of arming new arms.

Some tax revenues from oil are not enough to fill the black-hearted Puntland Parliament.Seeing that the situation is not good, the so-called Puntland Council went to empty buildings overnight.Without a parliament, the state would not exist.

The country no longer exists, and there is no need for those militants to exist. When soldiers from the 2nd Armored Brigade and 2nd Mechanic Brigade appear in towns, they are all welcome teams, and those armed soldiers are also welcome. Put down the weapon and joined the welcome team.

No one can stand such a dark parliament. The remaining nearly one million Somalis welcome the arrival of the Freedom League with the utmost enthusiasm.Their idea is simple. If it weren't for the fact that their homeland is hard to part with, these people would have joined the Freedom League. Puntland, which had a population of more than 3 million, had already become Li Lan's subjects over 2 million.The remaining one million people also look forward to the arrival of the Freedom League every day.For us, it doesn't matter who the government is in charge, the most important thing is how they live.

Under repeated propaganda, no one does not yearn for the life of the civilians in the Freedom League. One is that the Puntland government, which does not care about their life and death, is weak and incompetent.One is a strong free alliance, and it is always for the sake of the people.As long as they are not suspicions, they know how to choose.

Therefore, when the soldiers of the Second Brigade drove straight in, there was no resistance at all, and even those local forces remained completely silent.In addition, many deserters appeared. Soldiers from many forces simply surrendered to the Red Police soldiers with weapons issued by these forces.

In the face of the Liberty Alliance troops advancing in the air and ground, these local forces simply remained silent.In fact, for these forces, they are almost unable to survive if the Free League comes or not.Because a large number of people fled Puntland, Puntland’s population dropped sharply by two-thirds in just three or four years.This has also caused many forces to lose the soil for their survival. It is not easy for them to persist until now.The forces are further shrinking.

There used to be a few hundred people, but now there are hundreds of people remaining to maintain it.It can be said that I really can't afford soldiers.

There are even leaders of many forces who want the Freedom Alliance to come over earlier. In the eyes of many of them, they sell their property and get a lot of money. Then they can invest in business and live an honest life. It's happier than what I am fighting now.Many people are willing to embark on this path to make their lives easier.

However, some evil forces still exist, and those bosses have long since fled.They are very clear about the policies of the Liberty Alliance, thinking that back then, the Liberty Alliance tried many people like them. Lifelong labor was the least expensive.There are a lot of people who have made trouble.

Therefore, when the Red Police Corps arrived, some people were already embarking on the path of fleeing with all their property.They can't go abroad, and no country will accept their inferiority.Of course, they can also smuggle.It just depends on whether they can run out.

The speed of the Second Armored Brigade and the Second Mechanic Infantry Brigade was very fast, and the garrison troops following them were not slow.Although they do not seem to have such powerful weapons and equipment as the regular army, they are not easily seen by ordinary people.

Today's garrison troops have also been meticulously built by Li Lan, a khaki camouflage uniform, a 97-style, plus normal individual equipment, grenade or something.It can also be said that it is fully equipped.The vehicles equipped are not those dilapidated pickup trucks. In Li Lan's words, driving these pickup trucks is simply a shame. Riding a camel is better.Therefore, under Li Lan's creation, it is basically a dual combination of armed off-road vehicles and Hummers, coupled with a certain number of multifunctional infantry fighting vehicles.Fighting power is also up.

In the eyes of normal people, they can't hold it anymore. They can't tell which are the regular Red Police forces and which are the garrisons.However, these are not important at all to the Somalis in Puntland.They also showed their best attitude to welcome the arrival of these garrisons.Nowhere, when the occupation was announced, everyone's cheers could be heard.

When the Somaliland Republic surrendered, the rapidly advancing army also completed the occupation of most of the cities.It does not take long for this abandoned Puntland to be merged into the jurisdiction of the Freedom League.

By then, Li Lan will own more than 300,000 square kilometers of land, which is half of Somalia's total land.It has a population of more than 8 million, and the total population of Somalia was only about 11 million in 2004.For the nearly zero growth of the population of Somalia, these 8 million people have accounted for nearly 70%.It did not reach 80% because many of the 8 million people came from refugee camps in Ethiopia and Kenya, and many of them were not included in the UN's 2004 statistics.

After a few hours, these lands and populations truly belonged to him.
