I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World (Web Novel)
Chapter 711: The War at SomaliaThe United Nations approved the NATO's dispatch of troops to Somalia with three votes for and two against.
The Somalia authorities accepted the resolution and expressed their willingness to cooperate with NATO's military operations. Belvedere warlord with the Youth Party leaders all issued statements that the actions of the Somali authorities were "shameless betrayals," and would carry this war of resistance to the end.
At the same time, the UA, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Canada and other countries declared war on the Belvedere warlords and Ethiopia authorized NATO with military passage.
Such a rapid response was reminiscent of the 2001 war in Afghanistan. Perhaps it was out of vengeance for allies, perhaps because of the terrifying death rate of the T virus, or perhaps because from the very beginning, it was a war involving all humanity.
Any organization that provides shelter for Tanaka will be uprooted, no matter the costs!
More than 200,000 troops from both sides were involved. NATO and the Somali government invested 90,000 people in total, while the Belvedere warlord mobilized 150,000. The first round of fire broke out in in the northeastern part of the capital, Mogadishu.
The battle outcome was obvious. With the support of the UA Djibouti Air Force Base, thousands of warfare missiles nearly paralyzed all the armored units of the Belvedere warlords. The NATO ground forces relied on mechanized armor and cooperated with ground forces to advance toward Belvedere.
However, the battle situation was not as easy as the UA imagined.
The Belvedere warlords who were proficient in guerrilla tactics and relying on Toyota pickups and standard 107 rocket launchers, raided the M1A1 main battle tank at close range at an incredible pace. This caused a lot of trouble for the UA armored units and soldiers.
At the same time, the Belvedere warlord received messages from his allies. Support from organizations such as Libyan and Al-Qaeda were extremely tenacious in the fight.
Perhaps these "indigenous" would eventually lose, but for the war to finish, it may not happen until next month.
...
After putting down the newspaper in his hands, Jiang Chen sighed and after a few moments of despair, he said to Jean.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Help me to contact Xia Shiyu. Prepare 5 billion liquidity assets from the group. I want to acquire Yoto real estate. The economic crisis in Napon is inevitable.
"Okay, Mr. Chairman... but is now the time to consider this?" Jean asked.
"You don't understand. Man is an economic creature." Jiang Chen shook his head and smiled, saying something that made the artificial intelligence confused.
It was two days since he came back. Five days has passed since the Yoto T virus incident.
The sudden approval by the United Nations of NATO's military actions against Belvedere's warlords had muddled the situation in Somalia. However, the key figure, Tanaka, was still missing.
The Ghost Agent analyzed the footage captured by the Skyeye X1 spy satellite and finally determined that on the day of the attack, Tanaka left Somalia on a convoy back to Ethiopian tea gardens. However, because all everyone wore headscarves and their facial features were indistinguishable, the investigation couldn't progress.
However, at this time, the informant that the Ghost Agent spent heavily on training in Sabab was once again playing a key role!
According to intelligence, Sabab (The Youth Party) had recently come to start transferring people and equipment to the Mandela region of Kenya. Mandela was located at the junction of Kenya, Ethiopia, and Somalia where the religious situations were complicated.
"Next time your informant contacts you, ask him how the brain is grown on their leader's head." Putting the information in his hands on the table, Jiang Chen's brows was no longer twisted together.
Penny shrugged, and reported to Jiang Chen in a helpless voice.
"They believe that as long as they have control of the T virus that is feared by other Western countries, it is equivalent to controlling nuclear weapons and will be able to achieve parity with the mainstream countries of the world and negotiate to achieve their own political aspirations. Therefore, after trading with Tanaka, Sabab, which was originally a marginalized terrorist organization, immediately received the attention and assistance from IS, Al Qaeda, and Taliban. Until now, they still count on Tanaka to help them win the war."
"They are dreaming." Jiang Chen groaned.
Apart from that, countries will purchase large quantities of antiviral vaccines from Future Biology every month. The poor African people may not be immune to the vaccine.
"What about us?"
"We are going to kick them so they wake up."
After taking a document from the desk, Jiang Chen signed his own name and then tossed it in Penny's arms.
"Last chance, we only have one chance. Destroy the virus and destroy the Kurofune," Jiang Chen starred at her emerald green eyes and said word by word.
Jiang Chen's stare was a little suffocating, but her back remained straight.
"I understand!"
"Then go now."
Jiang Chen waved and signaled that Penny could leave.
Taking the document from the office, Penny closed the door.
The office was empty again. Jiang Chen took a deep breath and rubbed his temples.
"Jean, do you have any good ideas?"
Jean's hologram figure surfaced beside him and looked blankly at Jiang Chen.
"Ask, what is a good idea?"
"Kill Tanaka," said Jiang Chen.
Jean was silent for two seconds and said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Is it difficult?"
"He is as slippery as a rat, and harder to kill than a cockroach. He could "resurrect" several times, and we know nothing about it."
"What does he want?" Jean asked.
"To destroy the world?"
"With one person, how could he destroy the world?"
"The T virus in his hands, and the Kurofune lightyears away is plotting for him."
"Then destroy all the viruses and then cut off the contact with the Kurofune."
Jean's answer was abstract.
Destroy all viruses? It was not that simple, what he can do now is to follow behind the trail of the Kurofune. Find the drug plant and send the soldiers there.
Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile, but suddenly, he paused.
Wait, destroy the virus...
He suddenly thought of an idea.
Although somewhat absurd, it seemed feasible...
NATO's military operations disrupted the situation in the Somali region. This was bound to have an impact on the mission of Celestial Trade. On the other hand, the chaotic situation, at the same time, provided the second military operation of Celestial Trade a chance to take advantage of this mess.
On December 31, the NATO coalition forces exchanged fires with Belvedere warlords on the outskirts of Belvedere. This was the gateway to Belvedere. Belvedere suddenly announced that it would withdraw all checkpoints in the affected area and "release" thousands of infected people.
Condemnation had no meaning. The Ethiopian army suddenly announced its participation in the war. Tanks and infantries crossed the border and took over the garrison in the infected area.
Belvedere warlords were facing enemies in the front and back. Their demise was only a matter of tomorrow or the day after tomorrow
At the same time, Garrett, Ghost Agents, and 12 Celestial Trade Marine Corps soldiers arrived in Kenya along with their equipment.
