Chapter 912: Conquest of Somalia
The City of Friendship is home to the headquarters of the Black Snake Guard's Africa Division, and the Black Snake Guard's infiltration into Somalia began as early as the establishment of the City of Friendship.
On the day that Friendship City was attacked, Ouyang Shuo gave an order to the Black Snake to investigate the matter thoroughly. By interrogating the pirate captives, the Black Snake Guard is already faintly pointing the finger at the Somali royal family.
In this way, there is a day and night surveillance of the Somali royal palace by the Black Snake Guard.
…………
On July 3, a deserted island in the Amirette Islands in the Indian Ocean.
A team sent by the King of Somalia finally approached Farah and agreed to make contact on this desert island.
Farah who appeared on the desert island was a sloppy man, and since he fled from Brave Harbor, he has lived a life of hiding in Tibet, not only to guard against the retaliation of Great Xia, but also worried about being wiped out by the Somali royal family, and he is worried all day long.
The decision to contact representatives of the Somali royal family is really out of the way for Farah to get involved.
Although Farah is roaming the sea, after all, he is a player, and he can keep abreast of domestic developments through the forum, and the news of the arrival of the Atlantic Fleet in the Gulf of Aden is already known to Farah.
This made Farah desperate.
The one who can help him right now is the Somali royal family.
Farah did not fail to think that the Somali king might take the opportunity of the meeting to kill people, and the cunning Farah had long been on guard against this.
As soon as they met, Farah said: "I declare in advance that I have handed over the evidence of our cooperation to a confidant for safekeeping, and if anything happens to me, this evidence will be made public immediately." ”
“……”
The representative of the Somali king looked stunned, and all his previous good calculations were in vain.
"How so?" The representative smiled reluctantly and said bluntly: "Your Majesty wants to invite you to the palace to discuss countermeasures together, and you have no other intentions. ”
"That's good." Farah smiled "honestly".
At this moment, warships appeared on the sea off the island, and it was none other than the Atlantic Fleet.
When Farah saw this, he immediately drew his sword and said fiercely: "You are fooling me?!" ”
The representative was even more surprised than Farah, and said urgently: "They are definitely not attracted by me, and I am not stupid, how could I collude with Great Xia." ”
Farah immediately understood the key, looked at the other party with pig-like eyes, and said, "Idiot, I don't even know if I'm being followed." ”
"What now?" The representative was more anxious than Farah.
Farah suddenly calmed down and said hoarsely, "Heh, what should I do? What else can I do, if you don't want to die, surrender now! ”
The vast sea, the lonely island, is tantamount to a Jedi, and there is no escape.
A player like Farah, who became a pirate and was publicly wanted by Somalia, even if he committed suicide, he would be reincarnated in the same place, and he would not even be eligible to enter the Reincarnation Hall of the Royal City.
When you become a pirate and gain freedom, you will naturally have to pay a corresponding price.
Even if he can be reincarnated in the royal city, it doesn't mean anything to Farah, I'm afraid that as soon as he walks out of the reincarnation hall, he will either be captured by the people of Great Xia or taken down by the Somali royal family.
Rather than this, it is better to be captured by Great Xia.
Maybe he can still rely on the evidence in his hands in exchange for a way to live.
In view of Farah's knowledge, there were no surprises, and the Atlantic Fleet's "fishing operation" was successfully closed.
Even the representative of the Somali king did not want to die, and obediently tied his hands and was captured, which became an unexpected gain from this net, which further confirmed the fact that the Somali royal family colluded with the pirate leader Farah.
…………
5 July, City of Friendship.
With Farah as a guide, under the encirclement and suppression of the Atlantic Fleet, in just two days, the once-glorious [Sirius Pirate Regiment] was completely wiped out and disappeared.
The Sirius Pirate Regiment harmed not only the interests of the Great Xia Dynasty, but also the interests of the merchants who traveled to and from the Gulf of Aden, and these merchants came from various countries.
The fall of the pirate group has, to a certain extent, restored the trust of global merchants in Friendship City and Great Xia.
After the war, Farah was taken to Friendship City. In view of Farah's numerous crimes, the extremely bad impact, and the extremely serious circumstances, the Criminal Prosecution Department of the Home Affairs Yuan sent a special criminal officer to Friendship City to hear the case publicly.
Ouyang Shuo also specially invited domestic and foreign media to participate in the whole process of reporting on the trial.
The purpose is naturally to expose the ugly behavior of the Somali royal family, and at the same time, let Daxia stand on the moral high ground, so that Daxia can start a war against Somalia and become a "just war".
Ouyang Shuo is still an honorary knight personally awarded by the King of Somalia, and the Somali King's collusion with pirates to attack the territory of the Sir under his command is naturally unacceptable.
Even the Somali people are afraid that they will not side with the king.
That's the hype!
…………
On 8 July, the trial of Farah came to an end.
Farah was sentenced to only one year in prison for his meritorious testimony. Privately, Ouyang Shuo also gave Farah 100,000 gold coins in his personal name, so that Farah could stay in prison for a year with peace of mind.
For Farah, this was already the best ending.
The truth was revealed, and the Somali royal family was immediately caught in the tide of public opinion, and the storm was shaky. Somali players are worried, and they have a premonition that a life-and-death battle is coming.
Sure enough.
On July 10, the Bactria Dynasty officially issued a letter against the Somali royal family, "The Somali king colluded with pirates, brutalized the people, lost the hearts of the people, and destroyed the royal road, and his crime should be punished!" ”
Ouyang Shuo, the king of Xia, appointed Di Qing as the main general, Admiral Alvaro and the fierce general Lu Bu as the left and right deputy generals, and led the Somali Corps, the Third Army of the Praetorian Guard, and the fourth and fifth formations of the Atlantic Fleet, totaling more than 200,000 troops, to conquer Somalia.
As soon as the army left Friendship City, a system announcement came from the ears of Somali players.
"System announcement: How can the lord of China say that Wuyi took the initiative to provoke a national war, Somalia has entered the national war mode and entered a state of first-level alert, please check the specific situation by yourself!"
……
In Gaia's eyes, a national war is a national war, and there is no distinction between justice and injustice. Great Xia wants to conquer the king of Somalia, and if he takes the initiative to provoke a national war.
Both the warring parties and others are well aware of this.
The Bactria Dynasty did so much preliminary work just to create a "name", a reason to prevent other countries, especially African countries and Mediterranean countries, from intervening in the war in Somalia.
If the lords of these countries intervene in this national war, they will interfere in the "internal affairs" of Somalia. If they really want to set a precedent, don't blame the future Great Xia Dynasty for justifiably interfering in the affairs of the African continent and the Mediterranean.
Therefore, this is not so much a "great righteousness" as a warning.
Both the African lords and the Mediterranean lords had a clear understanding of this.
"System announcement: Somalia has entered the national war mode, according to the rules of the national war, during the national war, the royal city teleportation array will automatically cut off the connection with the territorial teleportation array, and the player cannot be reincarnated immediately if he dies, please be aware of the player!"
……
Somalia is located on the Somali Peninsula, the easternmost part of the African continent, bordered by the Gulf of Aden to the north, the Indian Ocean to the east, Kenya and Ethiopia to the west, and Djibouti to the northwest.
The eastern coast is plain, and there are many sand dunes along the coast; The lowlands along the coast of the Gulf of Aden are the Giban Plain; The central part is the Somali plateau, and the northern part is mountainous; The southwest is grassland, semi-desert and desert.
Looking down at Somalia from above, it looks like an oversized Arabic numeral "7", with the City of Friendship at the top of the "7" at the sharp corner, and the Castle of Kings in the middle of the "7".
Like Morocco, Somalia's habitable zone is a "7" strip along the coastline.
Before the 17th century B.C., Somalia established the "Bonthe" state, which was famous for its spice production, and the current king of Somalia is from the historical Bont state.
Spices are also one of Somalia's most famous specialties.
Although Somalia has a population of only 800,000, there are as many as six surviving territories in the country, three more than Morocco, scattered along the narrow coastline of Somalia.
The reason for this can only be attributed to the complex tribal colors of the Somali people, each of which is a product of the historical city-state system, and neither of them is subordinate to the other.
As a result, it has also led to the current scene of Somalia being divided.
Of the six territories, two are under the direct control of Great Xia, and the Black Snake Guard's cultivation in Somalia in the past year has not been fruitless.
Relying on this is also one of Ouyang Shuo's confidence in conquering Somalia.
In addition, Somalia has neither historical background nor advanced technology, whether it is the territorial army or the Praetorian Guard, the equipment is extremely backward, and it is not the opponent of the Great Xia army at all.
Ouyang Shuo was full of confidence in taking Somalia, and he didn't even drive it in person. This national war is also a tempering of the Somali Corps, and with Di Qing's ability to command the army, Ouyang Shuo will never be disappointed.
……
As soon as the announcement came out, Somali players were completely panicked.
The clarion call for war has been sounded, even if you don't fight, you have to fight, and Somali players are beginning to gather.
Today, players are not as hasty as the original Star Kingdom when dealing with the national war, and they know that they will integrate the combat professional players together for the first time to form a joint force.
It's just that I can't stop it, and I really don't have confidence.
The armies of the six territories responded to King Qin's order as soon as possible, and gathered their armies one after another, and assembled towards the wooden bones of the royal city. With the strength of Somalia, at this time it can only rely on the strong fortress of the royal city.
The territory army alone can't stop the Great Xia Iron Army.
In fact, under the leadership of Di Qing, the Somali Corps and the Third Janissary Corps marched hand in hand, like two hurricanes, sweeping from west to east, and then from north to south.
Wherever the great armies passed, there was no rival, and they fled in the hope of the wind.
The cabinet had experience this time, and before the war, it assembled a team of officials and received the cities captured by the army along the way, so as not to be too busy and busy after the war.
Such actions reflect the incomparable self-confidence of the Great Xia Dynasty.
From Ouyang Shuo, the king of Xia, to the hundred Chinese military officials of the dynasty, to the ordinary people, no one thought that Daxia would not be able to fight a Somalia, the question was just that it would take a week or half a month.
This kind of self-confidence is the characteristic of a new dynasty, which is enough to overcome obstacles and be invincible.
