Doomsday Super Merchant

Chapter 374

Zhou Yuanqiang has always taken the security work of the training base to the extreme, using a large number of monitors, sensors, and triggers arranged layer by layer in the woods and grass. There are power grids and mobile patrols.

The team has fixed open sentries and mobile hidden sentries to ensure that no one can enter or leave the training base without permission.

The shielding system transplanted from the Chamber of Commerce has blocked the entire training base except for specific communication channels, making it impossible to contact the outside world. Even the spy satellites captured severely distorted information, making it impossible to know

Everything in the training base.

From the time the training base was established to when Zhou Yuanqiang became the Minister of Defense, he almost never stopped trying every means to obtain the intelligence inside.

Unfortunately, the training base is probably extremely large and has specialized response forces. They often enter the training base. First, all communicators cannot be used. Then, before the direction is clear, armed helicopters fall from the sky.

Groups of mobile patrols appeared in front of them.

So far, there are hundreds of spies detained in the training base. Their origins are very complicated. Some are sent by the transitional government, some are sent by some local officials of the transitional government, and even more are sent by major warlords in Somalia.

intelligence officers.

As for the rise of Zhou Yuanqiang, a mainland immigrant, anyone with a little bit of brains will know that he cannot possibly want to do business here, and must have other purposes. But no matter how hard they think, they can't know Zhou Yuanqiang's

What is the purpose and what kind of ambition is there? They can only guess that Zhou Yuanqiang is a crazy businessman, like a hungry ghost who is not selective about food. As long as it is a mineral right, he doesn't care who owns it and buys it.

After spending hundreds of millions of dollars, the warlords were happy, the tribesmen were satisfied, and the religious parties laughed. They seemed to believe that Zhou Yuanqiang, a businessman, was just interested in the mining industry that was almost undeveloped in Somalia, and wanted to take advantage of Somalia.

The labor force is extremely cheap, and the mining rights are as cheap as cabbage, so you can make a fortune.

Then, the matter of the training base is logical, because such a big industry should have some armed force to protect itself, right?

It was this misunderstanding that made them gradually give up spying on the training base. In the next six months, the training base spent the next six months in peace.

For the people living in the entire training base, which has 5,000 soldiers and 600 support personnel, their lives are spent in training and retraining for a year and a half. They seem to be completely imprisoned in it.

I haven't even gone out once in a year and a half.

In order to allow them to train with peace of mind, Zhou Yuanqiang would appear in front of them on time on the last day of every month, carrying a box of US dollars, and ask them to line up in front of the training ground. After the training,

Let them line up and come forward one by one to receive their monthly wage subsidy.

This method seems stupid, but it is very effective. After a month of hard training, it will always turn into a kind of happiness when you receive your salary. Here, not only can you eat well, but the food is also very rich.

, there will be meat in every meal, and the quality of life far exceeds what they have outside.

Especially when they can get 50 US dollars per month, the moment they get the money, they will feel that everything is worth it.

Gambling is prohibited in the army, and their monthly money is compulsorily handed over to the command headquarters' soldier fund for unified management and investment. After one year, each soldier's account has exceeded one thousand U.S. dollars, which is indeed true.

A considerable amount of wealth. Soldiers all know that the salary is only 700 US dollars, and the 60% profit gives them thousands of dollars.

The training base implements a reward system. Any soldier who meets certain requirements or completes training tasks will receive more or less rewards.

After one year of training, the soldiers' salary increased from 50 US dollars to 70 US dollars per month. Zhou Yuanqiang personally promised that once the training is completed, the soldiers' basic salary will be 100 US dollars. It is for this purpose

, all soldiers, whether they are tank soldiers, pilots, or infantry, are training desperately.

Treatment like this was simply beyond their reach before, and no one wanted to lose such an opportunity.

When Zhou Yuanqiang appeared at the training base again, all the soldiers in the entire training base, except for the mobile patrol team, gathered on the huge flat ground of the training ground.

A full year and a half of exposure to wind and sun has made their originally black skin darker. Good food has made them extremely strong. Everyone is full of energy. They are definitely a group of people with excess energy.

A guy who wants someone to vent to.

To be honest, as soon as he saw these 5,000 soldiers standing in front of him in a square formation, Zhou Yuanqiang felt an impulse of passion and excitement. Compared to the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Chamber of Commerce, these 5,000 soldiers were pitifully small, but they were

What these 5,000 soldiers have given us is a greater sense of security.

The apocalypse is like a game or a dream. It feels to me that it is difficult to integrate into it. Modern times are different. I am completely born and raised in modern times. I have an irreplaceable integration into modern times and am full of enthusiasm.

The single key is that everything modern can give you a sense of reality and you can feel it solidly.

This is just a feeling, or it can be said that Zhou Yuanqiang’s psychology is at work. It does not mean that the end of the world is just a dream and a game. Just look at the factories built in the steel park. The machines in them are all brought from the end of the world.

, aren’t they real too?

"Soldiers, I am gratified by the results of your current training. In one and a half years, you have completed the three-year training of other soldiers. You are no longer a new recruit, but a real soldier and a soldier.

Looking at the world, except for the armies of a few countries such as my motherland, even the United States has been able to achieve this, and you have outdone them by a long shot."

After hearing Zhou Yuanqiang's words, the soldiers raised their chests even higher.

Our country is one of the poorest countries in the world, but Somali people have the most hard-working spirit, just like the chief's country.

Zhou Yuanqiang said seriously: "I believe the instructors have told you that I will form the Somali Ministry of National Defense and be committed to the cause of Somali reunification. And you are the foundation of the Ministry of National Defense and the elite soldiers who promote the Somali national identity. Now, it is time to

It’s time to test your training results.”

The soldiers who had received the news the day before were all excited. When Zhou Yuanqiang dismissed them, they quickly headed towards the respective camps as they had been trained before.

In just half an hour, the first group to assemble was naturally the armed helicopter unit. Sixty armed helicopters were arranged in six rows on the training ground, with ten in each row. Soon after, there was a huge roar.

, sixty Rhino tanks rumbled over, and in a moment they formed the same formation as an armed helicopter, with six rows of ten tanks.

What followed was a force of a hundred armored vehicles, and finally, fully armed soldiers forming ten square formations.

Yes, what they have to train next is a military parade exercise. Zhou Yuanqiang does not require them to be as majestic and neat as the mainland's world-famous military parade troops, but they must at least be 60 to 70% warmer to show the world the new power of Somalia.

What is the National Defense Force like?

Military parades generally have a deterrent nature, and at the same time they also promote the prosperity of the country and the well-being of the people.

For Somalia now, civil strife continues and people are in dire straits. What they desire most is peaceful reunification. However, for their own interests, warlords and some parties ignore the voice of the people. Naturally, people want

A powerful force has emerged that can realize this dream.

Zhou Yuanqiang’s purpose is very simple, which is to use the military parade to show the power he has in his hands to the entire Somalia. At the same time, he also shows the difference of Somalia to the world, attracts more foreign investors, and shows them that he has the ability to protect them.

Security of property in Somalia.

Another purpose is to intimidate the surrounding warlords and let them know clearly that the power in their hands completely surpasses theirs. It depends on how they decide whether to fight or make peace. Based on the situation that Zhou Yuanqiang has grasped,

After all, the transitional government is a legal government recognized by the United Nations and naturally has huge advantages. Several independent regimes have previously expressed their willingness to accept the leadership of the Somalia transitional government if the transitional government can lead Somalia out of its predicament.

Although his strength was completely exposed after the military parade, Zhou Yuanqiang understood that the advantages definitely outweighed the disadvantages.

What's more, is this really all your strength? Don't forget that in the steel park, there are mountains of parts that only need to be assembled, which is a powerful force that makes people breathless. Hundreds of tanks, and

With hundreds of fighter planes, it is one of the most powerful countries in Africa.

As for what the outside world thinks, it doesn't matter to Zhou Yuanqiang. What matters is that the Somalis believe that he can bring them what they want.

June seems to be an explosive month for Somalia.

First, there was the annexation of the Steel Park, the largest enterprise in Somalia, followed by armed demonstrations, then the Ministry of Defense that was born out of compromise, and then the launch of successive projects in the high-tech park and industrial park. Mogadishu, a rare place for foreigners, was

Once again, there are traces of foreigners everywhere.

After the two parks had not yet confirmed the winning bidder, it was once again revealed that the Ministry of National Defense would hold a military parade on July 1.

So the world began to go into chaos, and Somalia, which had been peaceful for several years, once again fell into one wave of shocks. Somali people often haven't digested one piece of news, and another piece of news will be thrown out soon, throwing them away.

It was so explosive that I was dizzy.

If it was dedicated to economic construction before, then the current military parade may mean that the situation in Somalia that has not seen a large-scale war for several years will come to an end. This ambitious Minister of Defense, he is not only

It is economically ambitious, and even militarily, it has begun to take action.

The reporters who have been sticking around all the time want to kiss Zhou Yuanqiang. For them, this magical Chinese will always be a news manufacturer, constantly producing the news they need, so that they can write.

Endless topics, but also making money and making my hands cramp. Behind every piece of news, there are considerable bonuses from the headquarters.

As soon as this news was confirmed from the Ministry of National Defense, which was established and had only one temporary office, freshly released manuscripts flew to all parts of the world. They passed the review in a few moments and appeared on the top of each website.

"Somali military parade?"

Anyone who heard this news thought that today would be April Fool's Day. The Somali Transitional Government itself is a joke. When the Ministry of Defense was first established, it already made many people hate it. Now, it's good that it has developed into a military parade.

As for the consequences of this incident, countless people who saw this post and knew Somalia laughed until they threw themselves on the table, slapped the table hard, and burst out with shocking laughter. Yes, the effect is the same as hearing one

It's like an international joke to keep them entertained.

Even the Somali people are starting to blush. Isn't this a joke to the international community?

Zhou Yuanqiang, who was not involved in the party, was even questioned by the president and the cabinet. Although they had no power to interfere in any affairs of the Ministry of National Defense in the original compromise, they could not sit still for such a thing that violated the national unity. This

The country is a little poor, a little weak, and even a little cowardly, so we can just tolerate it, but there is no need for you to show it and embarrass yourself, right?

Now, the entire Somali transitional government's cabinet and parliament have long since fallen under Zhou Yuanqiang's powerful money offensive. Ninety percent of the cabinet members have become members of his own side. As long as Zhou Yuanqiang is willing, the president and parliament speaker can be impeached and removed immediately.

.

Zhou Yuanqiang did not reply to their questions, but instead stepped up the training of the parade troops, and at the same time increased the number of tanks to 100, armed helicopters to 120, and 20 Hy-2 fighters.

He is determined to make a splash and speed up the deployment of the entire Somalia.

Countries like Western Europe cannot let themselves go as they please. They know the military strength of the training base to some extent, so they can only cut off the chaos with a sharp knife, control the southwest and central part of Somalia as soon as possible, and force the independent regions to return to the Somali flag. By then, even if

Western European countries realized that they no longer had anything to do with them.

As for political pressure, or economic sanctions, to me, it is simply a joke. Do you really think that the factory behind the scenes of the Doomsday Chamber of Commerce is just a decoration?

So people from all walks of life were all waiting to see the joke. While they were waiting, July 1, Somalia’s National Day, finally came belatedly.

Zhou Yuanqiang did not keep them waiting. In front of the former Government Avenue in the capital, in addition to mobilizing police to maintain order, he also deployed half of the security guards in the steel park to ensure the order and safety of the entire avenue. Without application, the peacekeeping force

They also came to assist, especially a force from the mainland, and their help was even greater.

At ten o'clock sharp, the entire military parade officially begins.

This military parade was different from previous ones. There were not many flower troops, nor too many civilian troops. There were only three non-military phalanxes, representing industry, commerce, and peasants. After that, ten neat infantry phalanxes appeared.

They were uniformly dressed and fully armed. As soon as they appeared, the people who were waiting to see the joke were stunned, because this was not the shabby army they imagined at all. Judging from the momentum of the phalanx, it was definitely not what any Somali army could do.

Comparatively.

As soon as the five phalanxes of a hundred roaring tanks appeared, the hundreds of thousands of Somali people who were watching finally became excited. They hugged each other and shouted in joy. Who doesn't want their country to be strong? And the steel giant in front of them

, is a display of military strength, letting the world know that the Somali army is not a joke, but has an almost full tank regiment.

The phalanx of tanks had just passed by, and the deafening "buzzing" sound of the huge armed helicopter formation formed from the training base let people know that what they saw was definitely not an illusion, but reality.

A realistic and huge fleet of armed helicopters.

The entire military parade lasted only two hours and ended in a hurry, but what it showed was something that no one could ignore.

“The most powerful military force since Somalia’s independence!”

This was the headline published by most media after the military parade in Somalia, because the military power displayed by Somalia shocked them. When did the transitional government, which could not even replenish ordinary guns, have such an elite modern mechanical force?

Regarding Zhou Yuanqiang's declaration after the military parade, the media directly described it as "the emergence of Somalia's largest authoritarian warlord" because Zhou Yuanqiang's declaration directly targeted several major independent parties and warlords, asking them to accept it as soon as possible.

under the jurisdiction of the transitional government, otherwise they will be the sinners of Somalia's final reunification and peace.

The poor president and the speaker of the parliament now know that this thin young man in front of him is really not simple. Everything seems to be planned by the other party. His fundamental purpose, from the initial investment to the present

Taking charge of the Ministry of National Defense and becoming the largest warlord, everything is under the control of the other party.

But what can be done? Looking at the opponent's powerful force, it is no longer something they can, or should say, control.

At this point, Zhou Yuanqiang's entire deployment in Somalia has ended. What he needs to develop in the future is to let the power in his hands grow smoothly, let the economy under his control recover in the area under his jurisdiction, and firmly establish the military and economic power in the area under his jurisdiction.

Take a firm hold and then advance towards the entire Somalia.
