- "It's a bit much, but it's not non-negotiable." Jonathan shrugged.
"You old guy, if you really wanted more, you wouldn't look like this." Lin Rui teased.
Jonathan did not feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he shook hands with Lin Rui generously. "This matter is settled. We will officially meet in Somalia on Wednesday. I will bring a few people with me to discuss all the details." After that, we both formally signed the contract.¡±
"Okay." Lin Rui nodded.
"I have expectations for you, Rick. Don't let me down." Jonathan patted Lin Yue's arm and turned to leave.
After they left, Lin Rui looked at the actuary. "When do you think we can take action? I mean, are the brothers below ready?
¡°If we really want to take on this task, I¡¯m afraid we will have to invest quite a lot. "
Actuary Shogan pondered for a while, "At present, we have almost expanded our manpower. While you were away, we actually never stopped recruiting. In the past few months, we have trained quite a number of people.
Accounting for about 40% of the total. I think this group of people can be put to use first.
As for other manpower, I think we can wait a little longer. After all, there is no need for us to invest all our troops in Somalia at the beginning. We can station a new group first, establish a forward command, and then deploy them in batches.
??And if the Somali National Army cooperates with us, the problem will not be too big. "
"Okay. I have to say you did a good job. Notify Lincoln. Let him prepare to mobilize the troops. After the operation begins, we will invest about 1,500 troops. The rest will be discussed later." Lin Rui nodded. .
"I have the same idea. But I have to prepare my brothers first. If we really win this contract, it will be our first battle since the reorganization of the Western Sahara campaign.
We pay more attention to it. You can no longer leave your troops to me alone like you did before.
We are responsible for every brother who follows us. "The actuary Jiang An looked at Lin Rui.
Lin Rui couldn't help but laugh, "Well, you've really worked hard these past few months. But you know I'm not good at dealing with this."
Three days later, Lin Rui brought his team members and the consultant from the logistics team who were responsible for the contract. Went to Somalia together.
¡°It¡¯s still the same place there. It¡¯s the same as Lin Rui¡¯s impression of Somalia when he first came to Somalia, poor and dirty.
Those sheds with tin roofs are still there, but the kids playing football in the street are still the same. When they see a car passing by, they will run over and beg.
But when they saw the people in the car. After all of them were armed, they dispersed with shouts of surprise.
After arriving at their destination, Jonathan personally took them to the office.
This three-story office is actually a headquarters belonging to the Somali Defense Force.
Colonel Jonathan brought several colleagues with him and held a thick file.
After several people sat down respectively, they began to talk about some details about this military contract.
Because this operation involves a large scale and is very large. Some matters now have to be decided by the Somali side.
It took three days to finalize all these specific issues.
They decided to go to Mogadishu, Somalia first. A temporary camp was established to accommodate Lin Rui and others.
The Somali side fully cooperated with them in the encirclement and suppression of the Somali Youth Army.
¡°The Somali authorities have suffered enough from the Somali Youth Army. Back in 2008 President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed resigned. In 2009, Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, leader of the main opposition Alliance for the Liberation of Somalia, was elected as the new president of Somalia and established a new transitional government.
"However, the anti-government armed "Somali Youth Army" refused to engage in dialogue with the transitional government, and occupied most of the neighborhoods in Mogadishu and most areas in central and southern Somalia. It assassinated many important government officials and caused a large number of casualties.
With the support of the African Union Mission in Somalia, the transitional government held some neighborhoods in Mogadishu and some areas in central Somalia. The two sides once formed a stalemate.
The Somali Youth Army once occupied most of central and southern Somalia.
Even the Somali Youth Army, which has joined forces with pirate groups, has repeatedly succeeded in confronting the weak Somali transitional government.
It once controlled some neighborhoods in Mogadishu, the important western town of Baidabo, and southern?A large area of ??land in central and southern Somalia, including the important port city of Kismayo.
At its peak, the number of armed men reached 7,000-9,000. In 2011 alone, it earned nearly US$100 million in revenue through illegal taxation.
After Somalia formed a new government in September 2012, the new government, with the assistance of the African Union peacekeeping forces, gradually expelled the Somali Youth Army from important cities, causing its power to be greatly reduced and had to retreat to remote areas.
Since then, the Somali Youth Army has often launched retaliatory attacks and expanded its targets to countries and organizations participating in the African Union peacekeeping forces.
In addition to multiple serious terrorist attacks in Kenya, the Somali Youth Army also attacked refugee camps, kidnapped and killed international aid workers, seized the property and equipment of United Nations agencies and non-governmental organizations, and attacked African Union military bases.
The existence of these people has already given the Somali authorities a headache. But there is no good solution for the time being.
Since the Americans are willing to take the lead this time, the intervention of private military companies as special assistance is what they want.
So the Somali authorities immediately agreed to the plan without saying anything.
Lin Rui and others began to prepare for the troops to enter Somalia and deployed the early personnel within a week.
Speaking of Somalia, this is a country suffering from war, and it is also a country where piracy is a white-collar profession.
Since 1991, Somalia has been in a state of anarchy ruled by warlords. Although Mogadishu is the capital, it is also devastated.
There are many camels here, and it is the only city in the world where there are more camels than people.
Due to years of war, normal production and life have been greatly affected. Social and economic development is slow, industry and commerce are backward, and jobs are scarce. Many people do not even have houses to live in and can only live in tents.
A military training base in the Wadaji District of Mogadishu was handed over to Lin Rui and others.
A Somali military officer who came to assist them told Lin Rui, ¡°This used to be a garrison for government troops. Just a month ago, a suicide bomb attack occurred, killing at least 15 people.
Be careful, similar attacks may happen here at any time. "
