Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Chapter 2030 Coping Strategy 2

The subordinates naturally understand what the boss means, and they cannot allow the Rothschild family to change commanders easily. No matter how good Major General James is, just changing him will definitely be better than him; then the battle will only become more difficult!

Allowing the other party to take advantage first can give the Rothschild family some explanation; of course, Bao, the richest man, does not want Eric Rothschild to be replaced.

I already know him very well, but if he changes to another person, I may not be able to adapt to him.

Save people and lose land, and both people and land will survive; save land and lose people, and both people and land will be lost. Foreigners may not really be able to understand this truth.

At first, Ali Mahdi Mohammed had some complaints, but currently he does not have the final say in Somalia. Knowing that external forces were involved, he did not dare to offend the Soviets.

Besides, if they send so many military advisers, they will definitely not go back in despair; when they are unable to resist, it is better to listen to their opinions!

Barre has the support of the Rothschild family behind him. Once the Soviet Union evacuates its personnel, it will no longer continue to supply weapons and equipment.

The final result can be imagined, and they will definitely not be able to defeat the opponent.

After comprehensive analysis, we should still follow the deployment of the military adviser; apart from praying silently, there is nothing else we can do!

The soldiers recruited by the Rothschild family are indeed the elites of various countries; their military quality is very excellent.

The tactical movements are very skillful, and you can't fault it at all; I just don't know what it will be like to engage in a firefight with the enemy!

Kismayo is a port city in southern Somalia and the third largest city in the country; it is located at the mouth of the Juba River, 528 kilometers southwest of Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia. The climate is hot all year round, and the main residents are the Sab ethnic group. The city faces the Indian Ocean and is near the mouth of the Juba River. Founded in 1872, it is the commercial center of the southern region and an important banana market.

There are modern slaughterhouses and large meat and fish canneries, tanneries and other small industries in the city. In 1968, the deep-water port expansion project was completed to accommodate seagoing ships. The main exports are bananas, livestock, leather, canned food, etc. There is also a road leading to Mogadishu and an airport.

According to the original plan, a cargo ship hired by the Rothschild family would enter the port of Kismayo to deliver snacks and then load leather products.

It's just that there isn't much food on the cargo ship, and there is no intention to transport leather products!

Under normal circumstances, a cargo ship with a displacement of 10,000 tons only requires a maximum of 30 people to operate it. On the other hand, this cargo ship that is about to enter the port of Kismayo has more than a hundred operators. If you walk into the cabin, you will see that it is densely packed with people.

3,000 people; an army with the size of a standard infantry regiment, has now entered combat mode; it must control the port as soon as possible.

It was originally planned to directly attack Mogadishu. Intelligence showed that Ali Mahdi Mohammed was very tightly defended. It is also the capital of a country. It is definitely more difficult to implement military occupation than other cities.

The soldiers recruited by the Rothschild family had not been coordinated for combat before; at least that was the case after they were recruited.

Somalia is going through a civil war, and the soldiers have relatively rich actual combat experience. Even if the weapons and equipment are superior, it is not that easy to capture the capital in one go.

Even if we occupy it, the losses will be extremely heavy; the gains outweigh the losses!

On the other hand, Kismayo is different. The defense is definitely not as tight as the capital; as the third largest city in Somalia, it has its own port and airport. After successful capture, air strikes can be launched on Mogadishu.

In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, the Rothschild family established an air force; of course the aircraft were purchased from Mr. Bao.

Although the scale is not very large, it is enough to deal with the Somali army.

It's a pity that Eric Rothschild still doesn't know that the Somali army's air force is indeed not strong; but its anti-aircraft firepower is not weak at all.

The American Stinger anti-aircraft missiles have been distributed to company-level units; if the pilots are not careful, they may not come back.

But no matter which angle you analyze it from, capturing Kismayo first is the best choice!

Somalia is currently in a state of war, with troops stationed in major cities. As the third largest city in Somalia, Kismayo has a large military garrison.

After learning that Rothschild had set the landing site at Kismayo, Ali Mahdi Muhammad specially dispatched a part of his elite troops.

I didn't want to do it at first, but this was what the Soviet military adviser wanted; I could only obey unconditionally. If you annoy the opponent, leave directly; face Barre and the Rothschild family alone, and at the same time be prepared for sneak attacks by other warlords; the countdown to defeat will begin in an instant!

The Rothschild family must be given some sweetness, otherwise replacing the former enemy commander will be even more detrimental to Somalia. Before all the troops are deployed on the battlefield in Somalia, we must not act rashly.

In order to boost morale, Major General James personally led the army to attack the port.

Of course, it's more of a gimmick. As a general, it's impossible to charge with a rifle; that's not bravery at all, but ignorance.

The pilot at Kismayo Port found nothing unusual after boarding the ship; the $1,000 tip left him speechless.

It’s almost the limit. If you give too much, it will easily arouse suspicion!

The other party was very satisfied with the US$1,000, and there must be some private goods on the ship; but this is very normal in the port of Kismayo.

Since they understand the rules, the navigator won’t say much!

The cargo ship quickly docked at the dock, and the staff began to prepare for unloading!

Of course, there are also many lurkers of the Rothschild family inside the port; a lot of preparations have been made in advance in order to deliver a fatal blow!

Three o'clock in the morning is the time when you are most likely to feel sleepy and tired; the soldiers in ambush inside the cargo ship began to check the equipment.

In half an hour, they were about to launch a surprise attack on Kismayo.

It’s a lie to not be nervous, but under the temptation of money, you still choose to take the risk!

When the time came, the lurking personnel in the port took the lead and put all the staff on duty into the harbor. War is not a child's play, either you die or I die; there is no room for mercy!

It went surprisingly smoothly. I had thought that the enemy would resist desperately; but when I actually implemented it, I found that it was very simple.

It cannot be said that they were dazzled by the victory, but they instinctively believed in their hearts that Somali soldiers have this fighting power.

In less than an hour, the port of Kismayo was captured by the Rothschild army. During this period, they only encountered sporadic resistance and did not cause any real damage to the troops.

It was originally expected that the loss of at least 200 people in the capture of the port, but less than 10 people were actually killed; many were caused by personal mistakes, which was simply beyond imagination.

Major General James did not expect that things would go so smoothly. He thought that the Somali army was really useless; it did not reflect his outstanding commanding skills at all.

But this is good, it saves a lot of trouble; you don't have to worry about arranging troops, the army can just push forward all the way.

There are tens of thousands of citizens in the city of Kismayo, and 3,000 troops alone are definitely not enough; they must wait until support troops arrive.

Before the reinforcements arrived, there was no way to allocate troops to march into the city!

With a port, supporting troops and supplies can be continuously transported from far away; for the landing troops, it is definitely a major victory.

At six o'clock in the morning; all 20,000 troops of the Rothschild family arrived in Kismayo.

The soldiers were very fast; they didn't bother to rest at this moment. After simply eating the field rations, they headed towards the city center to attack.

The enemy was scared out of their wits. This was the true evaluation of the landing soldiers about the Somali army; they basically encountered no decent resistance along the way, it was more like children playing house!

War is not a child's play, no wonder Somalia cannot develop; some clues can be seen from the combat effectiveness displayed by the soldiers!

Maybe it’s because they don’t get military pay, they don’t have enough to eat, and they can’t feed their families; there is no so-called national sentiment. Other than that, I really can’t find a reasonable explanation!

But even if the Somali army is in trouble, its combat effectiveness will not be like this!

There's no point in thinking too much. The set goal has been achieved; or even exceeded, so naturally we have to move on to the next plan!

He was not completely dazzled by the victory, of course, it was more due to the lack of troops. James had served in the Israeli General Staff for three years, and he still knew something about military deployment.

Immediately, soldiers were ordered to occupy the airport and government office buildings; and personnel were stationed on the city's main roads and important intersections.

There aren't many opportunities for performance, so it feels uninteresting; but after all, occupying the third largest city in Somalia still needs to be well publicized.

Barre's role must be fully exerted, otherwise it will be unknown; once the international community becomes serious, the Rothschild family will become very passive.
