Two thousand and sixty-four chapters forward base

Djokovic's death is destined to cause a huge wave, but all this has nothing to do with Satan, that is what Ivan considers.

After a short stay in France for two days, Satan all withdrew from France safely, and it was the ship on Nice.

The reason I got on board in Nice was because Gao Yang decided to take Satan to Somalia directly. The rest time was shorter than expected, but Gao Yang no longer wanted to go back. He had a headache when he thought of Yelena and two other women.

To manage Yemen, Somalia is a springboard, so the first stop has to go to Somalia first.

Satan has his own base in Somalia. Although Gao Yang basically has no time to come, having a base is just stronger than not. It is much stronger. At least it is convenient to do anything on his own territory.

The cooperation between Satan and the Skeleton Gang is very close. During this period, Satan has been maintaining a team of about 100 people in Berbera. Just paying these people a monthly salary, it will cost 2.4 million US dollars. In order not to let these people eat and work, Gao Yang also found some things for them, that is, to help the Skeleton Gang fight and train the Skeleton Gang soldiers.

Strictly speaking, the monthly salary of US$2.4 million is not high. On average, a person's monthly salary is 24,000. However, among these people, more than a dozen people who have fought side by side with Satan in Syria are elite. They get high salaries and often help Skeletons fight wars or something. If they are fine, they just train troops. Only then can they get a monthly salary of 20,000 plus combat allowance, which is the bonus.

There are also several aircraft crew members who have high salaries ranging from 15,000 to 20,000 yuan a month, while most of the remaining people have only a monthly salary of 7,000 to 10,000 US dollars, and they can't get a battle allowance.

In fact, it is the norm for mercenaries to recruit mercenaries in Berbera. Standing on a post, setting a whistle, and occasionally going out to fight a very low-intensity battle for the Skeleton Gang. I am satisfied with my salary of over 10,000 yuan a month, because this salary is already very high. This is a well-known poor and chaotic place in Somalia. If I were in a more peaceful and secure place, a salary of 10,000 yuan a month would not be possible.

The monthly salary expenditure of more than 2 million yuan is a bit high, because it is useless to support these people at the moment, but even so, the reason why Gao Yang has been spending money to support these people is to let Satan have a base in Somalia and prepare a springboard for Yemen's plan. The most important thing is that he has to keep strengthening his ties with the Skeleton Gang.

The Skeleton Gang now has a large territory and has raised more people. It only relies on collecting tolls from the sea as a source of funds to raise the people in the controlled areas of the Skeleton Gang. It is difficult to get the Skeleton Gang to pay out the money.

Logically speaking, the people in Somalia have been used to being poor for so many years, so they should be well raised. It is enough for the Skeleton Gang to not rob money and people, so how can they still have financial resources?

The problem is that Maid is too ideal. He wants to establish an ideal country so that everyone under his rule can live a good life. So Maid spends all his money just by buying food to support his people. But Maid also needs to build hospitals, schools, and maintain the military expenses of the Skeleton Gang. Which of these can be done without money?

Both are warlords. The larger the territory controlled by others, the more people they control, the richer they are. But Maid is better, the bigger the territory, the poorer he is.

From the moment he met Maid, Gao Yang knew that Maid was an ideal, ambitious, and connotational person. The only problem was that he was too naive, and such people generally did not live long.

To be honest, if it hadn't been to Gao Yang or Satan, Maid would have died at least three or five times, that is, Maid had a good life and met Satan. Although Satan and the Skeleton Gang in the early stage were both weak at that time, fortunately, the enemy was not strong, and they survived the most difficult stage at the beginning and grew stronger and stronger.

The current Skeleton Gang occupy one-third of Somalia's territory and controls three-quarters of the coastline in the north, leaving only the easternmost cape and a section of coastline near Djibouti that has not been captured. It is not that there is no power to attack, but that the Skeleton Gang must leave some places for the pirates. If the coastline is occupied, the Skeleton Gang will have to go to sea to be pirates in person.

The Skeleton Gang has always tried its best to clear contact with the pirates. Although it charges tolls, the Skeleton Gang is not a pirate. There is a big difference between this. Maid's ideal and the Skeleton Gang have the whole will to unify Somalia. Such an armed force will definitely not be able to brand the pirates.

Therefore, the Skeleton Gang's approach is to keep pirates and others to charge tolls and protection fees. This is called raising the bandits to be respectful.

Now the Skeleton Gang and the Somali Al Shabaab control territory are bordered, and there are no small battles between the two sides. The Skeleton Gang has the advantage of the Skeleton Gang in terms of strength, but the Skeleton Gang chose to enter the stalemate stage rather than fight with the Somali Al Shabaab.

Maid's idea is very clear, that is, to first consolidate the occupied areas, regain the hearts of the people, and to make steady progress. Never let the area controlled by oneself be dragged into a situation of war for years.

In Somalia, it is basically impossible to form a solid front. The land is vast and sparsely populated, and most of them are deserts. Both sides of the war can drive a car and directly kill from the desert to the town occupied by the other party. It is impossible to completely block the enemy's offensive line.

In this case, Maid chose to stabilize the defense first and stabilize the people's hearts, which means a reasonable choice.

The battle with the Somali Al Shabaab is very important for the Skeleton Gang to establish an image internationally. At least it will not attract any strong enemies internationally. Neighboring Ethiopia and the Somali Al Shabaab are mortal enemies. Based on the principle that the enemy's enemy is a friend, Ethiopia will not adopt a policy of hostility to the Skeleton Gang even if it does not have any substantial support for the Skeleton Gang.

Apart from Ethiopia, although the Skeleton Gang will attract attention internationally, it will not be interfered by major powers, because Somalia is in poverty, destruction and chaos, and it is really nothing to be greedy for. Although it guards the most important sea routes in the world, the warships of major powers have long been patrolling the Gulf of Aden. They cannot use it to occupy Somalia at all, so naturally there is nothing to do with Somalia.

By the way, the reason why the warships patrol in the Gulf of Aden was pirates. For this, the Skeleton Gang had to leave some seaways, so as not to let others create some pirates themselves. Everyone saves some trouble and just maintain the status quo tacitly.
