Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 6 The Importance of Food

Taking the food left over from last night, Li Lan walked directly out of the base.

As soon as I left the base, I saw a towering wall, and various sounds came from crackling, sounding chaotic.

Comparing the location, Li Lan knew that inside the wall in front of him was a magnetic energy reactor under construction.Seeing the tall iron sheet completely obstructing all vision, he couldn't help but sighed: "This is too realistic too! It really looks like that."

Seeing Li Lan's figure, the general guarding the gate of the base seemed very excited. He came to Li Lan's side, his tail swaying like a fan blade.

Li Lan's attention was also attracted by the dark red at the corner of the general's mouth, because it was blood stains.

"What's the matter?" Crouched down and took a closer look, the blood stains had begun to thick and black, indicating that it had been a while.

Li Lan remembered that when he came back yesterday evening, the general did not have these blood stains on his lips.Did someone pass by last night?His heart could not help but tense.

Suddenly seeing Li Lan's doubts, the general used his mouth to pull Li Lan's trousers, and then ran to the grass beside him.

Li Lan couldn't take care of the others, and quickly followed.

The location of the incident was not far from the base, estimated to be less than 500 meters.Li Lan, who was following the general, soon saw the owner of the blood stain, a dead animal.

It resembles a horse and is not a horse, and there are strips of surrounding markings, gray fur, and the fur on the belly is white again.

Although I don't know what breed this poor animal is, Li Lan's heart can be let go. As long as it is not a human, it means that the base has not been discovered.

Judging from the blood stains on the corner of the general's mouth and the bite marks on the neck of the dead animal, it is obvious that he died on the general's mouth.

"Good job, I don't have to worry about my stomach these days." Li Lan squatted down and touched the top of the general's head and said: "But next time you encounter wild animals, don't worry about it. You will die. unfortunately."

Hearing what Li Lan said, the general wagged his tail seemingly understanding.Although Li Lan is not a protector who actively cares for wild animals, he does not like to kill many species indiscriminately.

Ten minutes later, with the help of the general, Li Lan dragged the lost big guy to the base.After inquiring with the base assistant, I learned that the hapless man who was killed by the general was an African wild ass.

The African wild ass is a wild animal under the equine family.This animal is considered the ancestor of the donkey and is often classified as the same species.They live in the grasslands of East Africa and other dry areas.

The body of the African wild ass is short and smooth fur, which is light gray to yellowish brown, but it quickly turns white on the belly and feet.All subspecies have slender and dark markings on their backs. Nubian wild ass are like donkeys, with markings over their shoulders; while Somali wild ass have black stripes on their feet, resembling zebras.?

African wild donkeys live in arid and semi-arid bare rock desert areas. They are resistant to heat and scorching sun, and do not require high water sources. They feed on desert plants.Often 10-15 groups form small groups, led by a vigilant female donkey.The life span can reach 40 years under captivity.

Because of the war and social unrest, wild animals are rarely seen in Somalia.

It took several hours before the inexperienced Li Lan completely dismembered the corpse of the wild donkey. The internal organs and other things dug a deep pit directly outside the base and buried it.After all, on the first day of arrival, Li Lan had seen a lion with his own eyes. He didn't want the smell of blood to attract those pesky scavengers or large predators.

Although the general, a tertiary elite army dog, is very powerful, he does not want the general to compete with big guys like lions.No matter how strong the dog is, it is still a dog and cannot escape the limits of the species.Now there is only the general with himself, and he does not want to stay alone in this barren grassland.

Throwing all the camel meat left in the food bag to the general, Li Lan carried a thigh that had just been decomposed, and set up a bonfire at the entrance of the base and barbecued.

One hour later, one person, one dog, began to enjoy the barbecue meal.Although there is no seasoning, Li Lan feels that this wild donkey meat is more fragrant than the camel meat bought from Muhammad.

When Li Lan was full, time had come to noon unknowingly, and the general next to him was lying on the ground, still savouring the taste of the thigh bones of the wild donkey.

Although the general is a product of the base and belongs to one of the military units, it also needs to eat. These days, it depends on a little food that Li Lan exchanges from a distance. For a large general, food is fundamental. not enough.Today can be said to be the happiest day since it came out.

"Assistant, how long will the magnetic energy reactor take to complete?" Li Lan asked the base assistant in her mind.

This is also another function of the base. As long as it is not too far away from the base, Li Lan can contact the base assistant directly in his mind.

"It will take another 30 minutes."

After the simple question and answer, Li Lan once again focused on the general's body, squatting next to it, and gently stroking the general's hair with his right hand.Seeing the general tasting the delicious food with relish, Li Lan remembered a very important thing.

The base can be violent troops and can build the world's top technological units, but the base cannot provide food.And he is in Somalia, where food is extremely scarce. Once he starts to recruit units, what about food?

Now there are only two mouths for himself and the general. Food is not difficult to solve, but what about in the future?If there are too many soldiers, how to feed these soldiers in the early stage?

Although Muhammad is a rich Somali in this area, his wealth is limited.A hundred camels proved Muhammad's wealth, but he alone is far from being able to meet his needs.

Need more food sources!This problem must be resolved as soon as possible.

This is the second time Li Lan is worried about being in Somalia. The problem is also food.

Although Li Lan doesn't know the situation in Somalia in detail, he also understands that food is in short supply in the most backward country in the world.If medical treatment is backward, many Somalis die from diseases every day, but once a drought occurs, more people will die from famine.

Somalia is located in the key zone from the Indian Ocean to the Red Sea. It is a bridge connecting Asia, Africa, Europe and the three continents. It connects the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. It is very important in terms of geographic transportation and strategy. This makes Somalia a world concern. s country.Somalia's economic and industrial foundation is weak, and its industrial structure is backward. The ranking of important social development indicators is basically the lowest in the world.In recent years, it has restarted economic construction after the war, with strong demand and great market potential.But at the same time, the threat of terrorism is serious, piracy is rampant, the economic structure is single, the financial and taxation system is unstable, and the solvency is very limited. There are great opportunities for foreign companies to invest in Somalia, but at the same time politics, payment, law and terrorism The risks of attack are extremely great.

The Somali Peninsula is located in the east of the African continent. It is a peninsula between the Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden. It is shaped like a rhino horn and has the title of "Horn of Africa". The Republic of Somalia is located on this peninsula.The peninsula is located in the key zone from the Indian Ocean to the Red Sea. It is a bridge connecting Asia, Africa, Europe and the three continents. It connects the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. It is very important in geographical transportation and strategy, which makes Somalia a world person. Countries of concern.

For now, Somalia does not yet have a safe investment environment for foreign companies, which severely restricts Somalia's economy.

In Somalia after 1991, many years of turmoil, local separatism, no unified state power, many places have local traditional tribes and warlords, they accept the contracts of Western companies, and exchange cheap resources within their sphere of influence for weapons and dollars.

In recent years, under the intervention and mediation of the international community, the President of the Transitional Federal Government, Abdullah Yusuf Ahmed, was sworn in in Nairobi and the Transitional Federal Government was established.Over the past two years, the situation in Somalia has gradually improved.

However, up to now, the turbulent political situation in Somalia has not changed substantially. The Transitional Federal Government has not yet truly mastered state power, tribal turmoil has never ceased, warlords still exist, and armed conflicts are still frequent.

This is very suitable for Li Lan's development. It can be said that there is no red police base more suitable for Li Lan in the world.But everything has two sides, there is a good side, and it is inevitable that there is a bad side.

Industry and people's livelihood are all very headaches.
