Chapter 2086

Deyo's death is bound to set off a huge wave, but all this has nothing to do with Satan. That's what big Ivan considered.

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

The reason why he wanted to board the ship in nice was that Gao Yang decided to take Satan directly to Somalia. The rest time was shorter than expected, but Gao Yang didn't want to go back. He had a headache at the thought of Yelena and the other two women.

To go through Yemen, Somalia is the springboard, so the first stop must go to Somalia anyway.

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

Satan's cooperation with the skeleton Gang is also very close. Since this time, Satan has maintained a team of about 100 people in Berbera. It costs US $2.4 million to pay these people every month. In order to prevent these people from eating and not working, Gao Yang also found something for them to do, that is to help the skeleton gang fight, And train skeleton soldiers.

Strictly speaking, the salary expenditure of $2.4 million a month is not high. On average, a person's monthly salary is 24000. However, you should know that among these people, more than a dozen people who have fought side by side with Satan in Syria are elite, paid high salaries and often help the skeleton Gang fight a war. Nothing is military training, Only in this way can I get a monthly salary of 20000 plus combat allowance, that is, bonus.

There are also several aircraft crew members with high salaries ranging from 15000 to 20000 a month, while most of the remaining people have only a monthly salary of 7000 to 10000 US dollars, and can't get a war or a combat allowance.

In fact, mercenaries in Berbera recruited by Satan are the norm of mercenaries. They stand on a post, set up a sentry, and occasionally go out to fight a low-intensity war for the skeleton gang. They are satisfied with a salary of more than 10000 a month, because the salary is already very high. This is a famous poor and chaotic place in Somalia. If they are in a place with peace and security, A salary of $10000 a month is impossible.

The salary expenditure of more than 2 million yuan a month is a little high, because it is useless to support these people at present. However, even so, Gao Yang has been burning money to support these people because he wants to let Satan have a base in Somalia and prepare a springboard for the Yemeni plan. The most important thing is that he has to strengthen his contact with the skeleton gang.

The skeleton Gang now occupies a large territory and has more people to support. It only relies on collecting tolls from the sea as a source of funds to support the people in the area controlled by the skeleton gang. It's hard to get the skeleton Gang to take out money.

It is reasonable to say that the people of Somalia have been used to poverty for so many years and should be well fed. It's interesting that the skeleton Gang doesn't rob money and people. How can they be short of money.

The problem is that mayd is too idealistic. He wants to establish an ideal country so that everyone under his rule can live a good life. Therefore, mayd is very tight just buying food to feed his people. But mayd has to build hospitals, schools and maintain the military expenditure of the skeleton gang. Which of these can do without money.

It is also a warlord. The bigger the territory controlled by others, the more people in charge, the richer. But mayd is better. The bigger the territory, the poorer he is.

From the beginning of seeing mayd, Gao Yang knew that mayd was a person with ideals, ambitions and connotation. The only problem was that he was too naive, and such people generally didn't live long.

Seriously, if he had not met Gao Yang and Satan, mayd would have died at least three or five times, that is, mayd had a good life and met Satan. Although Satan and the skeleton gang in the initial stage were very weak, the enemy was not strong. He just survived the most difficult stage and grew stronger and stronger.

The skeleton Gang now occupies one-third of the territory of Somalia and controls three-quarters of the coastline in the north, leaving only the easternmost cape and a section of coastline near Djibouti. It is not that it has no power to attack, but that the skeleton gang has to leave some places for pirates. If it takes all the coastline, the skeleton gang will have to go to sea to be pirates.

All along, the skeleton gang has tried to keep away from pirates. Although they charge tolls, the skeleton Gang is not a pirate. The difference is great. Mayd's ideal and the skeleton Gang's will are to unify Somalia. Such an armed force must not be branded as a pirate.

Therefore, the skeleton Gang's practice is to leave pirates so that they can collect tolls and protection fees. This is called raising bandits.

Now the control territory of the skeleton gang and the Somali Youth Party has bordered. There are no big battles between the two sides. The skeleton gang has an advantage over the Somali Youth Party in strength, but the skeleton Gang chose to enter the Stalemate Stage instead of fighting with the Somali youth party.

Mayd's idea is very clear, that is, first stabilize the occupied area, recover the people's support, fight steadily, and never let his controlled area be dragged into the situation of years of war.

In Somalia, it is basically impossible to form a solid front. It is vast and sparsely populated. Most of it is desert. The warring parties can drive a car to kill directly from the desert to the towns occupied by the other party. It is impossible to completely block the enemy's attack route.

In this case, mayd chose to stabilize the defense and stabilize the people first, which is a reasonable choice.

The war with the Somali youth party is very important for the skeleton Gang to establish an international image. At least it will not lead to any strong enemies in the world. Neighboring Ethiopia and the Somali youth party are sworn enemies. Based on the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, Ethiopia will not have any substantive support for the skeleton gang, But will not adopt a policy hostile to the skeleton gang.

Apart from Ethiopia, although the skeleton gang will attract attention in the international community, it will not be interfered by major powers, because there is really nothing to covet in Somalia, which is poor, broken and chaotic. Although it guards the most important sea route in the world, the warships of major powers have been patrolling the Gulf of Aden regularly for a long time, and it is not necessary to occupy Somalia at all, Naturally, there's nothing wrong with Somalia.

By the way, the reason why warships patrol in the Gulf of Aden is pirates. That's why the skeleton gang has to leave some sea lanes so that they don't let others make some pirates themselves. We all save some trouble and keep the status quo tacitly.

Therefore, considering all aspects of conditions, Satan's base in Berbera is still good. It won't receive too much attention. It's convenient to do anything. You can go there by boat when you want to go to Yemen, and you can withdraw back in a few hours when you encounter anything. It's perfect to be used as a bridgehead or a logistics base.
