Chapter 764: Don't think of any of you

Look at the current situation of the Peninsula Hotel. The side that was bombed is very close to the room rented by Mu Yang and the others. Some rooms have even been blown down during this explosion. If they were in the house at that time, they would probably have been killed or injured.

People in the embassy felt scared and at the same time they felt glad. If Mu Yang hadn't asked everyone to go downstairs in an emergency, it might have been a death this time. However, people were also puzzled how Mu Yang knew there was danger.

According to statistics afterwards, 18 people died and 35 injured in the explosion, including 20 local passers-by in Mogadishu, hotel security and service staff, and three other embassies were injured and killed.

The explosion in Somalia was reported by the media at the first time. Some media also posted photos of the explosion after the "Peninsula Palace" hotel was blown up, and there were some photos of the explosion. The huge smoke column in the photos showed how powerful it was at that time.

Foreign ministries from various countries made remarks, condemning the terrorists who created the car bomb attack. China also solemnly condemned the terrorists' inhumane behavior at regular press conferences, and also expressed condolences for the victims in the explosion.

When asked about the situation of the Chinese embassy staff, the spokesperson said that the Chinese embassy staff did not suffer any injuries in the car bomb attack, but the embassy, ​​which is preparing to resume the building on May 1, now has to be postponed.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was asked whether it would affect China's reopening in Somalia.

The spokesman said that given the situation in Somalia, the Chinese government is reconsidering and assessing the possibility of restoring the embassy in Somalia, and there is no conclusion yet.

It has to be said that this explosion attack cast another shadow on the diplomatic relations between China and Soviet.

Subsequently, some bomb experts analyzed that based on the consequences of this bomb attack, the amount of bomb explosives carried in the car will definitely not be less than one ton. This may be the largest of all explosions in Mogadishu.

Just as the outside world was reporting on this incident, the "Al Shabaab" stood up and claimed to be responsible for the incident. The car bomb attack was organized and planned by them and completed by a soldier who dedicated his body and mind to the Lord. It was a retaliation action taken by the African Union to retaliate against the Al Shabaab's encirclement and suppression.

In response, the outside world accused the Al-Shabaab of its behavior, and the United States also stood up, saying that in 2012, the United States had listed the "Somali Al-Shabaab" as a terrorist organization, and they also had deep ties with Al-Qaeda, and even suspected that they had joined Al-Qaeda.

What should we do now? Mu Yang also asked for instructions in China. Vice Minister Guo told him that the issue of resumption of the embassy is indeed being considered in China, because the safety of the embassy staff cannot be guaranteed. China is considering whether to send a peacekeeping force to Somalia first and then resume the embassy operation.

Vice Minister Guo also told Mu Yang that this terrorist attack may have deeper reasons, which is also one of the reasons why domestic leaders temporarily stopped it.

Previously, China and the Somalian government reached an agreement on sending peacekeeping troops and warships, but this touched the interests of some people, especially the United States.

The United States does not want real peace in Somalia now. They need a chaotic Somalia. As for the reason, it is nothing more than not wanting Africa to become stronger.

Moreover, it is also something that Americans are happy to see to stop China from moving forward in Africa. Americans support certain anti-government armed forces behind their backs. In fact, everyone knows this. Although he stood up and listed the "Al Shabaab" as a terrorist organization, they are secretly supporting these terrorist organizations, guiding them to develop in the direction they want, and even ordering them to do something that Americans want to do.

The bombing of the "Peninsula Hotel" this time. Although the "Al Shabaab" claimed to the outside world that it was a retaliatory action taken in order to retaliate against the AU's encirclement and suppression of the Al Shabaab, the domestic believe that the explosion is likely to be targeted at the Chinese Embassy.

"Minister, what should we do now?" Mu Yang asked.

"You first find a safe place to stabilize it, wait until the domestic research results come out before preparing for the next step," said Minister Guo.

The leaders are still studying that the Peninsula Palace Hotel has been temporarily closed. Mu Yang and others urgently need to find a place to stay. After communicating with the Somali government, they finally chose to live in a two-story building only 500 meters away from the Somali Airport.

This place was originally one of the places where Mu Yang and the others inspected. In fact, it is also good as an embassy. It is within the sphere of influence of the government forces and there are no buildings on both sides. However, because there is a lot of security forces required, I finally chose the Peninsula Palace Hotel.

After packing up the things in the Peninsula Hotel, some of them were damaged. They picked up what they could use and moved them to the small building. They cleaned up the place again and stayed in first.

"Team leader, what should we do?" Zheng Yunliang asked.

"The leaders are still studying, but I think we can't stop. It is inevitable to restore the embassy, ​​so we'd better do some preliminary preparations." Mu Yang said.

"Does the embassy location still need to be re-planned?" Zheng Yunliang asked.

"I think it's here. Isn't this one of the places we visited before? It's a good location, only 500 meters from the airport and 1,500 meters from the Somalia Government Building. It has an independent small building and a large courtyard in front and behind. At the Peninsula Palace Hotel, it's just a transition. In the end, we have to choose an independent office. This time we don't make a transition, just build our own embassy."

"Let's arrange the place first, and afterwards, discuss with the Somalian government to install anti-collision isolation piers on both sides of this road to expand the safety range. Then this place is better than the Peninsula Hotel." Mu Yang said.

"But we don't have enough manpower, especially security personnel." Zheng Yunliang said worried.

"Don't worry, there will be someone." Mu Yang said with a smile.

Now the reopening ceremony has stopped due to the explosion. The country is still studying the countermeasures. Mu Yang and the others are just short-term rentals, so the renovation is only a very small scope. The main thing is to simply clean up the place. It is enough for Zheng Yunliang to do these tasks.

As soon as Mu Yang was free, he began to receive several calls from China. The first one was his wife Xu Youshan. Shanshan cried on the phone. She was really afraid that Mu Yang would be in danger, so Mu Yang advised her for a long time.

Then there was another call from his father Mu Shouli, and the uncle called him, and in the end, his grandfather also called Mu Yang.

My grandfather is old but his health is still strong. He told Mu Yang not to be terrible and to hold on. The career he is doing now is to lay the foundation for the entire country.

Mu Yang sat in the yard, tapping his fingers on his thighs and knees, thinking about things in his mind. Americans, Vice Minister Guo said that this time it might be done by Americans. Mu Yang analyzed that there may be a shadow of Americans here.

However, Mu Yang’s current target is Al Shabaab, because those guys have admitted that they did it.

I have worked hard for nearly a month, and you all ruined me.
