Washington, White House Tang Dake received the news, he was furious: Delta Force, Navy SEALs, and Rangers are all special forces in North America.
These troops are all brave and good at fighting, and are special forces that make the enemy tremble in fear.
As a result, five Black Hawk helicopters were shot down and the death toll exceeded fifty?
It is an unreasonable result that is hard to believe.
"Fuck, God, are they full of shit? They have hundreds of people, and we sent six Black Hawk helicopters and eight Little Bird helicopters, killing more than two thousand of them. Why are they still surrounded?"
To be honest, not only Tang Dake couldn't figure out the reason, but also the deputy monitor Anthony Foster, Jacques Marton, Menuintstedt, Fischer Gvila, Peter Verona and other think tank members, also couldn't figure out why.
However, according to the information reported, there are several reasons.
The first is that the entire Washington is overly optimistic about the situation in Somalia, and soldiers such as the Delta Special Forces, Navy SEALs, Rangers, and Commander Milstein are also full of confidence in this battle.
Tang Dake and other bigwigs in the White House Office are also very aware of this point, that is, they think they have the most powerful combat weapons in the world and rich combat experience, they underestimate the difficulty of the mission and take the enemy too lightly.
After entering the 1990s, the Moscow Alliance was disintegrated, and the United States became the only superpower in the world.
At the same time, during last year's Gulf War, the United States' powerful military strength attracted the attention of the whole world.
You know, during the entire Gulf War, Washington put a large number of high-tech weapons into actual combat for the first time, demonstrating overwhelming air and electromagnetic advantages.
The joint forces led by Washington dispatched more than 52 aircraft, including B117 bombers, FA stealth fighters, and nine super-powerful aircraft carrier battle groups.
It can be said that they appeared in the waters near Mesopotamia in overwhelming numbers and directly surrounded the people.
A total of 500,000 troops defeated an entire country, directly resulting in 25,000 enemy deaths and more than 75,000 injuries.
Horror!
With such divine power, both Herbert Walker and the newly appointed Tang Dake frequently wanted to interfere in other people's affairs and began to assume the responsibilities of world police.
Therefore, when faced with a small place like Somalia, from the bigwigs in the White House Office like Tang Dake to the American soldiers going to Mogadishu to carry out missions, no one took Aidid seriously.
Even Commander Milstein told everyone before setting off that the capture of the local warlord Aidid could be regarded as an ordinary practice battle.
But now, Milstein is waiting for reinforcements in a heart-wrenching manner because their car can't even move on the road.
The streets in Mogadishu are too narrow, and Aidid's subordinates are desperate.
As a result, the road was blocked, and Milstein and his men could only rely on cars as cover and engage in street fighting with Aidid's men in the small city space.
Even though Milstein and his men had amazing fighting power, and even though they were unfamiliar with Mogadishu, they still madly harvested Aidid's men.
But so what?
There is no way to kill them all!
In despair, they could only wait silently for reinforcements.
Just as reinforcements rushed into the Mogadishu area, Lin Zaifu and his men also took action.
If Lin Zaifu and his men did not take any action at all, at this time, the thousands of peacekeeping reinforcements from countries such as the Malay Peninsula who came in from the periphery would likely cause great harm to Aidid's side.
So at this time, it is necessary to leave more American soldiers and break their bones.
Aidid was standing by the window of the building. He obviously saw the reinforcements coming in and became even more timid for a moment.
If Lin Zaifu and others had not come forward to help at this time, Aidid would have been captured.
After driving away Milstein and his people, Lin Zaifu and his people stopped taking any action.
However, Aidid, who escaped the disaster, first thanked Lin Zaifu and others, and then started to commit suicide without stopping.
He first took out a large amount of money and began to recruit soldiers, and also placed orders to purchase a lot of arms.
Through this head-on confrontation with Milstein and his men, Aidid realized that if the soldiers' combat effectiveness could not be improved quickly in a short period of time, they would have to rely on numbers to win.
The urban street fighting in Mogadishu is the best battlefield.
As local natives, Aidid and his men can fully utilize the terrain of the Mogadishu area to kill as many invading enemies as possible.
Secondly, Aidid also invited reporters and did many things that angered everyone.
Milstein, who fled back to the base in a panic, has applied to his superior general for a second arrest of Aidid. He could not tolerate his failure this time, which would be a lifelong shame.
Therefore, he needed a resounding victory to wash away the shame of this time.
As a result, it was rejected.
"Just watch TV yourself."
As the general spoke, Milstein looked at the TV, and then saw Aidid's subordinates dragging his dead comrades through the streets.
This scene successfully made Milstein faint from anger.
He wasn't pretending to faint, he was really angry and fainted.
This bastard Aidid is simply a devil from hell.
This footage has spread all over the world and appeared on the front pages of major newspapers around the world. The Internet has long since spread these videos to every corner.
As long as you open the Internet, you can see such videos on any news page.
All of a sudden, the whole world knew that the Eagle Sauce had lost face in the Middle East.
In Washington, in the White House office, Jacques Marton and others were still analyzing the reasons for the failure.
The first point has been mentioned before. The second reason is underestimating the enemy and being unfamiliar with the Mogadishu area, which led to getting lost, which is simply the most fatal.
The third point is that the equipment selected by Milstein and his team was not selected based on the actual situation in Mogadishu.
All in all, they didn't take the operation to capture Aidid seriously at all.
Too arrogant!
Milstein and his team believed they had the most advanced helicopters and equipment, but the Black Hawk helicopter also had its own weaknesses.
The Black Hawk was originally designed for transportation, and although it was modified for combat, it still could not reach the level of a combat helicopter.
In addition, the Black Hawk helicopter has poor defense capabilities and cannot adapt to low-altitude combat flights, which is also the fatal weakness of sending the Black Hawk helicopter to Mogadishu to perform the mission this time. The streets in the entire Mogadishu area are narrow, and it is impossible to clearly see the enemy's position at high altitude, which is not conducive to shooting.
As a result, the helicopter pilot was forced to lower the flight altitude, giving Aidid's subordinates the opportunity to shoot him down with an RPG rocket launcher.
"Who sold these weapons to them?" After hearing this, Tang Dake angrily interrupted Jacques Marton.
This time, no one dared to say a word.
Is there any need to ask who sold the weapons?
Although the RPG rocket launcher is a weapon from Moscow, many Americans have many arsenals around the world, and as an arms dealer, who can compare with Americans?
All in all, no one would refuse to do a business that can make money.
It's useless for Tang Dake to be angry, it can't change the facts.
"Fake."
Tang Dake was very helpless and felt his hands and feet were cold. Many things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface.
How ironic it is to be injured by the weapons you sold yourself.
Seeing Tang Dake waving his hand to signal him to continue, Jacques Marton continued:
"In addition, our ground forces only used armored vehicles and no tanks to clear the way, resulting in extremely poor defense. This is one of the reasons why Milstein and his men were quickly surrounded by Aidid's men."
"The last and most fatal reason is that we did not receive support for this arrest operation."
Tang Dake had a strange expression on his face when he heard this, "Why?"
He couldn't understand, what support was needed?
"That's right, according to the report from Commander Milstein and his team."
Jacques Marton's words gave Tang Dake a clearer understanding of the war.
It turned out that after Milstein and his peacekeeping forces entered Somalia, the local people did not support or cooperate at all.
The reason for this is most likely that local warlords like Aidid have spread rumors extensively, causing local people to mistakenly believe that Milstein and his troops who came to provide peacekeeping, food and warmth are not angels but demons.
In addition, during the process of Milstein and his team capturing Aidid, a large number of innocent civilians were killed and injured, with more than 300 deaths and thousands of injuries.
It also led to extreme dissatisfaction among local people.
In addition, other warlords in the Mogadishu area did not provide help to Milstein and his men. Instead, they joined Aidid and his army to fight against Milstein.
You know, Aidid is the biggest warlord in the local area, and he has a natural competitive relationship with other warlords.
As long as Milstein and his men captured Aidid, the other warlords could share the territory and wealth left behind by Aidid.
But Milstein and his team messed this up. They looked down on the locals at all, so this is one of the reasons why Milstein and his team were beaten so badly.
If there was a little support, it wouldn't be so tragic.
History has proven this point. If we have the help of local guides, we can definitely avoid many detours and complete the task easily.
It’s a pity that people like Milstein are too arrogant.
"Now that we know the reason, let's do another mission. I don't believe that a small country like Somalia can cause such a commotion."
Tang Dake said angrily.
Then Jacques Marton and his team had already formulated a plan and a battle plan, but the news was soon reported, and Tang Dake had to reluctantly withdraw the plan and the battle plan.
After the news broke, public opinion in North America was in an uproar, and many ordinary Americans expressed strong dissatisfaction with it.
Even Margaret, the goddess of wealth in the United States, who has remained silent, made comments on her social media platform, expressing her dissatisfaction with how her country's soldiers could be so cowardly and suffer such heavy losses.
Many internet celebrities, bloggers and entertainment stars actually joined in, clearly expressing their dissatisfaction with the war and their hope for peace.
All in all, the rising tide of opposition was so fierce that it far exceeded Tang Dake and his colleagues' imagination.
Doesn’t Tang Da want to erase this stain that appeared shortly after he took office?
miss you!
But is it useful?
Useless!
Outside the White House office were people who opposed the war and desired peace. They were sitting in the square and could not be driven away.
While this incident was going on in Washington, Chen Guohua was sitting in his office watching the news on TV, his heart filled with joy.
He said he would cause more trouble for Washington, and of course he meant it.
Just Aidid is enough to give bigwigs like Tang Dake, who are sitting in the White House office, a splitting headache, but they have no way to deal with him at all. This is awesome!
So, don't underestimate anyone, even if this person looks stupid and not presentable at all, but you really don't know when he will do something earth-shattering.
Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door outside the office, and Chen Guohua shouted, "Come in," without even raising his head.
Song Xuyan and his friends walked in and told Chen Guohua the hottest news in the world with a smile on their faces.
"Old Chen, you've seen the news too, right? Haha, people like Tang Dake are just asking for trouble. They're dragged out for shooting even though they're dead. Really."
Even though people like Aidid have done all sorts of bad things, Song Xuyan and the others should definitely not like this kind of people.
But as long as it can cause trouble to people like Tang Dake, Song Xuyan and the others will endure it no matter how much they dislike it.
For now, keeping people like Aidid around is of great use.
"Well, I've said it before. There are many tough guys like this in the Middle East. Just picking one of them can make Tang Dake and his gang lose face."
Chen Guohua said with a smile:
"It's great that we can do these things perfectly with just a little investment."
Wang Dingzuo immediately said:
"Old Chen, speaking of this, I heard that there are many hedge funds in Wall Street, Zurich, Great Britain and other places. I heard that these companies have good ability to make money. Should we also study them?"
"No need!" Chen Guohua heard this and immediately shook his head and said:
"You should still remember the trading department I opened at Zhenhua Research Institute, right?" (End of this chapter)
