Chapter 1344: Midnight gunshot

Xiao Peng got used to staying in Hargeisa and always thought that the terror of Mogadishu should be exaggerated.
But when Xiao Peng really arrived in Mogadishu, he knew that what others said was really not an exaggeration! At night, when Xiao Peng was sleeping, he caused a noise with gunshots and explosions. The crackling stopped after about thirty minutes. The sound is not close here. But that's amazing.
Yang Meng also heard this voice, and was very excited when eating breakfast: "Somali really has a deep friendship with China! It turns out that there is also a habit of setting off firecrackers here!"
Xiao Peng looked speechless: "Is that what is special about setting off firecrackers? That is shooting!"
Yang Meng was silent for a while and then exploded: "This is plain or lack of entertainment. Isn't it a good idea to watch TV at home with the leisure time? Go out to fight and kill?"
Mukala smiled and said: "That also needs electricity and TV! Although Mogadishu has a power grid, it is often destroyed. You see, I have generators here. As for TV... Really. Not everyone has it."
"What happened last night? The gun was fired for most of the day." Xiao Peng asked.
McAfee said disapprovingly: "Are you Somalis? It's not surprising that you shoot when you are happy, when you are angry, and when you are sad."
Mukala explained with a smile: "The people from the Al-Shabaab are here!"
Xiao Peng blinked: "They still don't stop?"
Mukala said: "How could they stop?"
McAfee smiled and said: "If they stop, who would make money for Mukala? That is his big customer. Where do you think his armored vehicles come from?"
Xiao Peng blinked after hearing this, let alone, the Somali Al-Shabaab had the same philosophy as IS, and they had sworn allegiance to Uncle Laden! If it were them, they could indeed find IS from the Middle East to get Mukala’s armored vehicle.
The current international consensus is that the Somali Al-Shabaab is definitely the source of the chaos in Somalia. During their heyday, the entire south-central Somalia was their sphere of influence, and Mogadishu was the city they controlled. Later, he did not know how to provoke the ‘East Africa Xiaoqiang’ Ethiopia, and then sent Ethiopian troops to a stinky beating and drove out of Mogadishu.
Can Ethiopia mess up casually? The president has studied in China for four years. From military to domestic construction, he has followed the China model. GDP has increased by 10% for more than a decade. Now the strongest country in East Africa, can there be a good result if you try to provoke them? You are not Eritrea! In the end, Ethiopia beat the Somali Al-Shabaab from a hero to a rat crossing the street. . . . . . .
(Ethiopia and Eritrea were originally the same country. Later, after the colonists were driven away, Eritrea became independent. Although the family is small, but the bones are hard, this war lasted for 30 years, from 1962 to 1991. Independence. Later, although the large-scale conflicts ended, the sporadic conflicts have not been over. This war is actually very related to China: it was a war between a graduate of the Imperial Capital University of Foreign Languages ​​and a graduate of the Nanjing Army Command College. Isaias Afwerki, the president of the small country of Eritrea, is a graduate of the Nanjing Military Academy. In the final analysis, this war is an outlet. Eritrea has the port of Assab, which is an oil refining base that can make a lot of money. , And Ethiopia is a landlocked country without Eritrea, so it is so desperate. Later, it was found that it was meaningless to fight, so Huaxia came forward and built the Yaji Railway, the first electrified railway in East Africa, directly connected to Djibouti. It’s time to go to the sea. The two sides stopped fighting and signed a comprehensive peace agreement. Now Ethiopia has an average annual economic growth of about 10% for more than ten years, becoming the first economy in East Africa. Naturally, there is time to clean up the Somali Al-Shabaab. .)
But many people don’t know that the Somali Al-Shabaab was actually a ‘righteous teacher’ at first.
In 1991, Somalia fell into a warlord melee. Except for Somaliland to ensure stability, Puntland and Somalia fought into a nest of porridge.
In order to stop this chaotic situation, the ‘Islamic Courts Alliance’, a religious extremist organization that envelopes fundamentalism, was established in 2004. They are to solve the current situation of warlords’ melee. The common people are also disgusted by the endless campaigns and support them. They are also really up for it. In just two years, he defeated various factions and controlled most of the southeastern part of Somalia. In 2006, he ruled Mogadishu, established an autonomous government with its own laws, and provided medical care, education and police security services to the people. Somalia finally became peaceful and stable during that time.
However, the Islamic Courts League is not a good stubborn. They enforce the harsh Islamic criminal law: Did not pray five times a day? Sent directly to the guillotine; married people pass J? Stoned to death! Unmarried first pregnancy? Stoned to death! Music, movies, satellite antennas and are strictly prohibited. . . . . . Plastic bags!
Yes, the Somali Al-Shabaab also banned the use of plastic bags, which they think is not environmentally friendly! May endanger the environment and the health of livestock! It is the most environmentally friendly terrorist organization in the world.
Although these harsh criminal laws have aroused disgust from many people, the vast majority of Somali people still welcome them. After all, they are peaceful, and they are not afraid of being shot directly on the road.
But it’s not dead. The Islamic Courts Union did its own job and began to swell, claiming to establish a
Greater Somalia
including the Somali settlements in neighboring Ethiopia and Kenya, and went to other countries to play bombs. .
This is irritating Ethiopia, so you dare to make my mind? Believe it or not I lifted the table? In 2006 they sent troops directly to Somalia. Clean up the Somali Court Union. To tell the truth, this untrained African soldier has basically the same level of combat as a street fight. If you encounter a regular Ethiopian army, you will be blinded! Most of the occupied territories were taken by Ethiopia, and the Somali Tribunal Union also began to split internally, and the hardliners among them separated from it and formed the Somali Al-Shabaab.
However, this Somali Al-Shabaab party is not the same as it was back then, and has become a terrorist organization that has nothing to do with bombing attacks. However, after Ethiopia withdrew its troops from Somalia in 2009, the Somali Al-Shabaab made a comeback, declaring allegiance to Uncle Laden and later to IS. A year later, it again took control of Mogadishu, the western town of Baidabo, and the southern port of Kismayo. Large tracts of land in south-central Somalia. However, I fell out with IS later, and the reason was very speechless. IS tried to expand its sphere of influence to the area under the control of the Al-Shabaab, and then collected protection fees from the merchants in their territory. , You dare to ask? Pack you guys!
This time they are smarter and will not provoke Ethiopia. As a result, it provokes Kenya again. Kenya sent troops into Somalia. Under this joint attack with other AU countries, the Al-Shabaab ran away from Mogadishu. Now it has launched a retaliatory attack without incident. Countries and organizations including the AU peacekeeping forces are among their targets.
They committed many serious terrorist attacks in Kenya, and they also attacked refugee camps, kidnapped, and killed international aid workers. Like the plot in the movie "Wolf Warrior 2", except that there are no Chinese factories here who need to evacuate, the other basic conditions are very similar to the situation in Somalia.
Yang Meng asked curiously: "What happened last night? It was so lively? Did anyone fight the government army?"
The Somali Al-Shabaab still controls a large area in southern Somalia. And the Somali government can only control the bullet land near Mogadishu. The Al-Shabaab did not dare to move Mogadishu: the military force of other countries came, and it was them who were unlucky. And as for the Somali government forces?
One word description: miserable!
Up to now, there is no uniform uniform. Many people are soldiers wearing big pants and carrying AKs. Even if Mogadishu can't manage well, he goes to fight the Somali Youth Party? Are you kidding me?
Now that no one can eat anyone, so I just swept away the snow in front of my house. Except for the Al-Shabaab to throw a bomb, everything was basically fine, at least it didn't start a war like before.
Mukalla shrugged and said: "A special mission from the AU came to the Al-Shabaab to know about it, so it attacked them. Since the AU has driven them out of Mogadishu, the AU has been theirs. The key targets are the diplomatic missions such as the United Nations Development Program. Although strict confidentiality is said every time, in Somalia, there is never the term'secrecy'. I am afraid that even those in the missions will come to the meeting. Aunt Al Shabaab knows it clearly."
McAfee asked: "It's not you who sold the information to them, right?"
Mukala shook his head: "Although there is'intelligence' in my product, it definitely does not include this time. This time the mission is sent by Tanzania. I am of Tanzanian nationality. I don't want to trouble myself. "
Xiao Peng asked curiously, "Then what was the result last night?"
Mukala gave Xiao Peng a thumbs up: "I admire you Chinese people too much now! It is not unreasonable for Tanzania to call it'African JFJ'. Faced with the attack by the Al-Shabaab, it quickly organized a counterattack, and the number of people was less than a quarter of the other party. In the first case, the terrorists of yesterday were completely wiped out. This apprentice is so powerful, I am thinking how terrible it would be if your Chinese army came!"
Xiao Peng didn't know how to answer after hearing this. West Africa and North Africa are places like France, but in East Africa. . . . . . Huaxia is great here! Just look at these countries near Somalia: Eritrea, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Sudan, South Sudan. . . . . . The leaders or armies of these countries are almost all organized by China. Kenya’s leaders were trained by the Stars and Stripes. Eight thousand wealthy people accounted for the country’s wealth. Later, it was discovered that the road was not easy. As a result, they still have to follow China. go. . . . . .
Mukala smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, there will be a transaction on our'Marine Affairs Investment Exchange' tomorrow. Would you like to see it?"
Xiao Peng nodded after hearing this: Why not? Of course I want to check it out! But why is it so sudden? "
Mukalla said: "In Victoria Harbour in the Seychelles, some French and Spanish fishing boats have gone to sea. There are 22 target boats. The target this time is them."
Xiao Peng asked, "Where is their formation?"
Mukala shrugged: "The French fleet has four warships, and Spain does not have an fleet. What can these warships do in the fishing area of ​​1,500 square nautical miles? Those who dare to go to the sea to rob are desperadoes. They don’t care about this. And the fleet generally escorts in the Gulf of Aden, so now the main target of pirate attacks is Eastern Somalia."
The last time eight pirate organizations in the exchange received investment, they went out for a while, only one organization reaped the rewards and hijacked a Spanish fishing boat. The remaining seven were empty-handed, and a group of people encountered the fleet and caught them. We are going to the prison to find people in a while, are you going to see it? "
"Go, you must go! Do you still have a prison here?" Xiao Peng stood up and said, "I felt uncomfortable at home. After coming yesterday, I didn't take a good look at this place. Of course I will look around here today!"
"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Yang, I still suggest that you go on board the body armor. Mogadishu is a big place, but small and very small. I am afraid that all organizations now know that there are two Chinese and one Star Stripe. When we arrive in Mogadishu, it is good for others to say that they are afraid that people from Al-Shabaab will come to trouble you." Mukala said.
McAfee frowned and said, "Don't you have business with Al Shabaab?"
Mukala smiled bitterly: "They asked me some time ago to ask for a batch of goods and I refused, so I can't guarantee that they have any opinion on me."
"What kind of merchandise? What do you still can't get? What do they want? Food? Drugs? Or weapons?" McAfee asked.
Mukala said astonishingly: "What they need is women. Let me get them some women in the past. I never do population business."
"Woman?" Xiao Peng widened his eyes after hearing this.
Mukala nodded: "Yes, they need women. They will arrange women to be wives for every soldier. They used to go to Kenya to kidnap women, but now the security in Kenya has been strengthened. So they want me to do it from Tanzania. Some women came. But I refused this. It is not something I can do to cheat women from Tanzania."
Before he finished speaking, the phone rang suddenly. He suddenly changed his face when he answered the phone. Can't sit still, just stand up!
"Mukala, calm down! What's the matter?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.
Mukala heard Xiao Peng’s question and took a deep breath: "My woman Ishana was shot just now! I am going to the hospital now!"
ps: Tomorrow Lao Yang will travel a long distance. Three days. . . . . . Lao Yang will try his best to update it!
