East Asia is under his control, but Li Yin is not satisfied with this. His goal is to build a globally unified empire, and after several generations of hard work, let the world get rid of the current ignorance and ignorance, and accept the modern world. Knowledge, becoming an integrated country, but he also understands that this matter has a long way to go, but he has been working hard. For example, the current Wa country has begun to learn the culture and history of the Tang Dynasty, and this Korean Peninsula will be the next one.
Sun Dongxu's words revealed his true thoughts at the end. Now that the Wa Kingdom and the Korean Peninsula have been stabilized, he wants to go to Central Asia and Europe with Qin Huaiyu and others. If they get up, there are about five million people. There is no need to keep a special fleet here. Besides, the nobles in these two places have long been frightened by Datang's army and dare not try to resist again.
Li Yin thought for a while and agreed to Sun Dongxu's request. After all, this place in East Asia is only a small place. It is enough to send some officials from Yizhou to the Korean Peninsula and Japan to supervise it. Central Asia and Europe are the main problems. Let's take the population as an example. , They also account for more than half of the world, and the cultural differences between each other are huge, which is indeed very troublesome, and although Li Yin has been recruiting to expand the number of troops, the strength of the army is still limited. Stationed, 6,000 people are left permanently on the Korean peninsula. They cannot be moved as a deterrent force, and in this case, the number of troops used for conquest is reduced.
However, Li Yin also has his own plan. The problem of the number of troops can only be made up with equipment. Now that Luo Anguo is well known by the people of Datang, it will not make people feel confused to do some advanced things. He wants to partially upgrade the Yizhou army The level of equipment, such as the production of steel warships, and the allocation of machine guns and military vehicles to the troops, so that a small number of troops can be used to control some places.
After finishing the call with Sun Dongxu, Li Yin went to the Australian base again. Now the war in Somalia is imminent, but it is still in the wait-and-see period, so he simply travels between the Australian base and Yizhou during this period, mainly to let Australia The base produces a new round of equipment for the Yizhou army to replace the old equipment, so that it will be easier in the process of conquering Central Asia and Europe.
The oil problem in Somalia gave Li Yin a reminder, since the Middle East can rely on stones to feed hundreds of millions of people in the Middle East and provide them with such high welfare, why can't he rely on selling oil to earn money to improve Datang's life? life, let Datang’s welfare standards reach the level of Western developed countries. Besides, Datang has only 20 million people in total. With so much oil in the whole world, the money earned is enough to support this plan. After all, the world is chaotic. The root cause is poverty. As long as poverty is eradicated, everyone can enjoy good material conditions, and there is no need to fight for limited resources. Then society can develop to a higher level of civilization, and people will focus on the pursuit of knowledge. Pursue, not be busy every day just to make money.
After figuring this out, Li Yin suddenly had a direction to fight for. He didn't know what kind of changes would occur in Datang after this kind of high welfare was implemented in Datang, but it seemed that Somalia was standing in front of this high welfare. He can sell oil in Somalia, and the 30 million people in Somalia and Datang will usher in a new way of life.
"Your Highness." Looking at Li Min who suddenly appeared in the command room, Li Ran said hello, "You came just in time, the African Union army has already started marching towards Gadaro, and the war has begun."
Li Yin looked at the moving army on the screen and remained silent. He has been thinking about the high-welfare society for the past few days, and the stumbling block in Somalia is the shit-stirring stick that hinders this plan. On the screen, African Union soldiers ride armored vehicles, tanks, Trucks and other motor vehicles are moving, and there are many whites in the AU army. These are mercenaries from the Western world, and their equipment is indeed much better than that of the AU army.
When he came back to his senses, Li Yin said: "It's good to start, I'm waiting for this day!"
Li Randao: "Our army is all hidden. These days, the M country people can't find any clues. They bombed Gadaro to the bottom, causing many refugees to be killed or injured."
"Why are there still refugees?" Li Yin frowned.
"These are some refugees who have just arrived. They don't know that the vast majority of refugees have moved and stayed in this place."
Li Yin sighed, and it was the people who suffered in the end. In the picture, the town of Gadaro was already in ruins, surrounded by thick smoke and flames, and Li Yin felt a pain in his heart when he saw it, but as the old If you don't go, the new one won't come, and he will let Western countries pay for him to rebuild a brand new Gadaro.
"This time we not only want Gadaro, but also Mogadishu." Li Yin said every word.
Li Ran looked at Li Min in surprise, "Has Your Highness lost patience? Are you ready to build a nation?"
Nodding his head slightly, Li Yin said: "We will remain rebels until the transitional government is eliminated. We will force the West to recognize us as the new Somali regime."
"This is also a way. The rebels in many African countries were not recognized at the beginning. After defeating the government, they were not recognized by Western countries. What they want is the resources of this country, and they don't care who is in charge. Rule the country, give them some resistance, and they will change their position." Li Ran echoed.
Li Yin sat down on a chair and said: "We launch an attack at night, and the advantages brought by the night vision goggles are not in vain. Let Gadaro let them occupy it for a while during the day."
"Okay." Li Ran smiled.
At the same time, media from all over the world were broadcasting the battle live. Journalists from many countries followed the army. They basically encountered no resistance along the way. It was not until Gadaro was occupied that the African Union army and mercenaries launched an offensive. Cheers.
"The rebels probably peed on their pants and fled because of fear." An African Union soldier said with a big smile facing the camera.
A soldier poked his head towards the camera, "They must have been blown to dust by the daytime bombing, hahaha..."
Elizabeth moved the camera away in disgust. She believed in her heart that this was an unjust war, so she also held contempt for these troops. He was reporting the casualties of refugees throughout the whole process, and was not interested in such results. It's just that she vaguely felt that things would not be so simple. Up to now, she has not seen the body of a Peace Front soldier. If it was really blown to pieces, at least the broken military uniform can still be seen.
The progress of the war was too smooth, and the top political circles of Western countries cheered. They simply looked down on the army of this country. In their eyes, Somalia was just their colony, and this transitional government was just a regime they supported, without any substance. rights, and once they occupy the central region, they can allow oil companies to settle in and produce a lot of oil for them, but the sign is still Somalia.
Departing from Mogadishu in the morning and advancing along the road, it was already evening when the African Union army arrived in Gadaro. After confirming that Gadaro did not have any soldiers from the Peace Front, they chose to rest at this place for one night. The next day Returning to the base, but not everyone is stupid. Some mercenary organizations still have doubts because it went too smoothly, but even though they think so, they still think that it is impossible for organizations like the Peace Front to attack them proactively. "
As night fell, Somalia was enveloped in darkness. After nightfall, under the cover of night, terminators and indigenous soldiers began to quickly gather from all directions. At this time, they all wore goggle-like night vision goggles and drove Humvees in the dark. There is no need to turn on the lights at all, so their actions will not be noticed.
The attention of Li Yin and Li Ran in the base was also highly concentrated. Their eyes were fixed on the big screen. Li Yin saw scattered red spots moving quickly, and soon they all gathered in the desert near Jiadaro, "Midnight Twelve Launch an attack." Li Ran gave the order, because people are the most sleepy at this time.
Outside Gadaro City, Kumasi leads a regiment of troops. Their equipment is very simple, heavy machine guns, automatic rifles, shoulder-mounted rocket launchers, and mortars. This is their equipment, but the Terminator that was later transferred The army has powerful firepower, and a hundred self-propelled howitzers are ready thirty miles away. These people are about to enjoy the taste of being covered by artillery fire.
As time passed, more and more troops gathered near Gadaro, and they surrounded the ruined place with six regiments.
In the underground base, Li Yin was also counting the time. When the time reached twelve o'clock, Li Yin ordered the bombardment. The self-propelled howitzer vehicles in the underground base will definitely not let go of the troops reserved in the underground base during the day. He went out, but what he wanted was at night. Being attacked by these automatic howitzers, this group of people would probably be very depressed.
After Li Yin gave the order to bombard, a hundred self-howitzer vehicles began to spit out flames, and shells poured into Gadaro, and Gadaro immediately turned into a sea of flames.
The African Union army who was sleeping suddenly woke up, but it was already too late. Faced with the fierce artillery fire, armored vehicles were destroyed one by one, and soldiers were engulfed in flames. Their vulnerable side was exposed in front of the artillery fire, and the soldiers fled in all directions. , and those mercenaries showed their sophisticated war experience, and they found bunkers to hide. It was only at this time that Kumasi led things and launched a ground attack. r1152
