The death of Djokovic is destined to set off a huge wave, but it has nothing to do with Satan, that is what Iwan considered. Bayi Chinese Network く ★ √ く
After a short stay in France for two days, Satan withdrew safely from France, and it was the boat on Nice.
The reason why he had to board the ship in Nice was because Gao Yang decided to take Satan directly to Somalia. The rest period was shorter than expected, but Gao Yang no longer wanted to go back. When he thought of Yelena and two other women, he had a headache.
To get through Yemen, Somalia is a springboard, so the first leg must be to Somalia anyway.
Satan has his own base in Somalia. Although Gao Yang basically has no time to come, but having a base is stronger than not, and much stronger. At least it is convenient to do anything on his own site.
The cooperation between Satan and the Skeleton Gang is also very close. Since this time, Satan has maintained a team of about one hundred people in Berbera. Just giving these people a monthly salary will get two hundred and four hundred. One hundred thousand dollars, and in order not to let these people eat or work, Gao Yang also found something for them to do, that is to help the skeleton fight and train the soldiers of the skeleton.
Strictly speaking, a salary of US $ 2.4 million a month is not high, and the average monthly salary of a person is 24,000, but it is important to know that among these people, the dozen people who have fought side by side in Syria and Satan are elite. With a high salary, I often fight for the Skeletons and the like. It ’s nothing but training. Only in this way can I get a monthly salary of 20,000 plus a combat allowance, which is a bonus.
There are also several aircraft crew members, with high salaries ranging from 15,000 to 20,000 per month, and most of the remaining people, with only a monthly salary of 7,000 to 10,000 US dollars, still have no battle Can't get the combat allowance.
In fact, the mercenary recruited in Berbera in Satan is the normal situation of mercenaries. Standing on the guard, putting a whistle, and occasionally going out to help the skeletons to fight a low-strength battle, holding a salary of 10,000 a month I am satisfied, because this salary is already very high. This is in Somalia, a well-known poor and chaotic place. If it is in a safe place, a salary of 10,000 US dollars a month is impossible.
The salary expenditure of more than 2 million a month is a little high, because keeping these people is currently useless, but even so, but the reason why Gao Yang has been burning money to feed these people is to let Satan have a base in Somalia To prepare a springboard for Yemen's plan, the main thing is that he has to strengthen his connection with the Skeleton Gang.
The Skeleton Gang now occupies a large area and has more people. It only depends on collecting tolls from the sea as a source of funds. It is used to raise the people in the Skeleton Gang's control area. It is financially stretched and wants the Skeleton Gang to pay for it. But it's not easy.
It stands to reason that the people of Somalia have been poor for so many years, and they should be well nurtured. Skeletons do n’t rob money and rob people, but how can they be financially tight.
The problem is that Maid is too idealistic. He wanted to build an ideal country so that everyone under his rule would have a good life. So Maid spent all his money on food to feed his people. Very tight, but Mayd still has to build a hospital, a school, and maintain the military expenses of the Skeleton Gang. Which of these can do without money.
It is also a warlord. The larger the territory controlled by others, the more people in control will be richer, but Maid is better. The bigger the territory, the poorer he will be.
From the moment he saw Maid, Gao Yang knew that Maid was an ideal, ambitious, and connotative person. The only problem was that it was too naive, and this kind of person generally didn't live long.
Seriously, if either met Gao Yang, met Satan, Maid died at least three or five times, that is, Maid was alive, and met Satan, although Satan and the Skeleton Gang at the beginning were very weak. But, fortunately, the enemy is not strong, and it has survived the most difficult stage at the beginning, and it has grown stronger and stronger.
The Skeleton Gang now occupies one-third of Somalia ’s territory, controls three-quarters of the coastline in the north, leaving only the easternmost cape, and a section of the coastline near Djibouti is not captured, not without power to capture, and It is the Skeleton Gang who has to leave some places for the pirates. If the coastline is fully occupied, then the Skeleton Gang has to go to the sea to be a pirate.
For a long time, the Skeleton Gang has tried its best to disassociate with the pirates. Although the toll is charged, the Skeleton Gang is not a pirate. The difference between them is very big. Maid ’s ideal, and the Skeleton Gang, all the will will unite Somalia. Such an armed force must not be branded as a pirate.
Therefore, the practice of the Skeleton Gang is to leave pirates so that they can collect tolls and protection fees. This is called keeping their own weight.
Now that the Skeleton Gang and the Somali Al-Shabaab control site have bordered on each other, there are no small battles between the two sides. The Skeleton Gang is dominant in the strength of the Somali Party, but the Skeleton Gang has chosen to enter the phase of stalemate, rather than the Somali Youth The party fought.
Maid's idea is very clear, that is to stabilize the occupied area first, regain the hearts of the people, fight steadily, and never let his control area be dragged into the situation of successive years of war.
In Somalia, it is basically impossible to form a solid front line. The land is sparsely populated and most of them are deserts. Both sides of the war can drive directly from the desert to the towns occupied by the other side. It is impossible to completely block the enemy's offensive line.
In this case, Maid chose to stabilize the defense first, calm the people's hearts, which is a reasonable choice ~ EbookFREE.me ~ And the battle with the Somali Al-Shabaab is very important for the Skeleton Gang to establish an international image, at least There will be no strong enemies in the world. Neighboring Ethiopian and Somalia Al-Shabaab are dead enemies. In the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, even if Ethiopia does not have any substantial support for the Skeleton Gang, it will not Will adopt a hostile policy with Skeleton Gang.
Except for Ethiopia, the Skeleton Gang will attract attention in the world, but it will not be interfered by the big powers, because, Somalia, this poor, broken and chaotic place really has nothing to be greedy, although it guards the world ’s most Important sea lanes, but the warships of the major powers have already patrolled the Gulf of Aden normally, and they have never been used to occupy Somalia. Naturally, Somalia has nothing to do.
By the way, the reason the warship patrolled the Gulf of Aden was pirates. For this reason, the Skeleton Gang had to leave some sea lanes, so as not to let people make some pirates out of their own. Just keep the status quo.
So, considering the conditions in all aspects, Satan ’s base in Berbera is still good, and will not receive excessive attention. It is convenient to do anything. If you go to Yemen to sail, you can pass it. It can be withdrawn in hours, whether it is used as a bridgehead or as a logistics base. (To be continued.)
