Somalia at this time is so similar to China a hundred years ago. The warlords are fighting each other, and all countries want to support their own spokespersons and get back various benefits from this country.

Although Somalia does not have an investment environment at this time, it is not a big deal for international arms dealers. What they want may be a piece of land, or some unilateral terms of income, which is more simply as long as you have pockets. Your wealth.

The news revealed from Muhammad's words made Li Lan feel a little heavy.It may seem simple to complete the reunification of Somalia, but it is a long way to go.

Somalia is not a little cake that no one cares about, as he thought before.There are cakes, but there are many people who are worried.Although the main energy of the countries of the world is not here, it is clear that they have not stopped paying attention here.

Li Lan believes that as long as he is given enough time and resources to grow his head for a few years, he will be worthy of any country, even if it is the United States, he will dare to play a game with the United States at home.But this is not realistic after all. Development requires space, time, and countless resources.

Perhaps it will not touch all countries in the world in a short time, but what about in the future?This is hard to say.Before, he took it for granted.A powerful country is like a robber. This sentence is not in vain. The so-called Somali pirates cannot even make waves for the country's robbers.In the future, he will inevitably come into contact with some powerful countries in the world, which requires him to carefully consider the path of future development.

In the early 1990s, the United States adopted a policy of active intervention in the Somalia conflict.When the peacekeeping operations were frustrated, the US policy quickly changed to complete detachment, allowing the conflict in Somalia to intensify and humanitarian disasters to intensify.After the September 11 incident, the United States adjusted its security strategy to counter-terrorism and non-proliferation: launching preemptive strikes against "rogue states" and terrorist organizations, and conducting international governance on "failed states", supplemented by the promotion of democracy.

This has transformed the Somali conflict from a traditional "low political issue" into a major strategic issue related to national security in the US perception.In this context, the United States regards Somalia as an important battlefield in the war on terrorism and prevents Somalia from becoming a source of international terrorism.

The United States considers the Union of Islamic Courts to be a "Taliban" Islamist organization.Although the organization’s leaders have repeatedly stated that the organization’s purpose is to restore security and stability in Somalia, and has no intention of establishing a “Taliban” regime, and has nothing to do with terrorism, but the organization has a deep relationship with the Somali Islamic extremist organization-the Islamic League. Many of its leaders were members of the Islamic League.

In addition, geopolitics is another reason for US interference in Somalia affairs.The strategic location of the "Horn of Africa" ​​region in which Somalia is located is very important. Oil has been discovered in recent years, and the United States has begun to pay more attention to this region.

The United States, thousands of miles away, is so concerned about this small country in Northeast Africa. The United States does not abandon Somalia for three reasons:

The first is the mentality of revenge; the second is the huge temptation of oil and other resources; the third is the important strategic position of the region, which has a great relationship with the United States' global military deployment.

The United States intervened in the Somalia conflict in 1993 and suffered a disastrous defeat. The "Black Hawk Down" has become the most painful memory of Americans in Africa.More than ten years later, whenever an American politician mentions Somalia, the incident will undoubtedly become a topic. This memory has largely become a symbol of "American shame". Therefore, now Ethiopia From the standpoint of historical memory, to send troops to Somalia to fight against sects is undoubtedly the most natural choice.

Second, "There is oil in Somalia!" This is not only a guess, but it has been officially recognized by Somalia.In November 2006, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Somalia made it clear that he welcomed all walks of life to Somalia to extract oil and said that several companies had already arrived early.In fact, before Somalia fell into anarchy in 1991, many U.S. oil companies were already very interested in the oil that might be stored here, but they had to give up because of the fighting.

The geographic location of Somalia also has important strategic value for the safety of oil transportation.Somalia is located in the northeast corner of Africa and strategically holds the exit of the Red Sea.The Horn of Africa is rich in oil and is close to Saudi Arabia, and can monitor a large number of oil tankers and warships passing by on the Red Sea.

In addition to the Strait of Hormuz in the Gulf region, this is another corridor for oil transportation in the Middle East.However, the proximity of the Strait of Hormuz to Iran, the US’s old rival, has created an invisible pressure on US oil imports from the Middle East.Somalia's strategic value has also been highlighted.

According to some gossip, just when the transitional government of Somalia was unable to stop the civil war and change the turmoil in the country, American forces have sneaked back into this country and secretly used US dollars to support certain local warlord leaders and help them grow.The U.S. government refuses to publicly acknowledge this behavior, only stressing its concern that Somalia will become a new "terrorist paradise" for Al Qaeda.

I don’t know where the United States’ motives are, but there are some speculations: or the United States is too impatient to wait for the Somali government to become stronger and solve the problem effectively, so it turns to use warlords; perhaps, the United States has other motives, such as Control Somalia’s oil resources.

In addition to mineral resources, what Li Lan values ​​most is the oil resources of Somalia. Petroleum can not only provide power for his mobile forces in the future, but also another important source of base funding.And if oil reserves are huge, it can also become an important economic pillar of Somalia.

Somalia itself does not have the ability to extract oil, but Li Lan does, and it is very convenient.Regardless of land-based oil wells or sea-based oil wells, there are all in the Red Police Construction Unit.And the price is very cheap, if it were not for insufficient authority, Li Lan would have built it on a large scale.

"My friend, what's the matter with you." Mohammed could not help asking when seeing Li Lan with a thoughtful look.

"I'm sorry, I'm distracted. Now let's talk about business." Li Lan apologized. I don't want to think about the future, so I will go down the road smoothly.

Since Mohammedi regarded himself as an arms dealer from China, Li Lan did not specifically deny it, of course he did not affirm: "There are 8,000 bullets in it, of which 4,000 bullets are a gift for friends. The remaining four thousand hairs are the old rules, I plan to change something with you."

"No, no, it's too expensive." Four thousand bullets are worth more than six thousand dollars, which is also a large number for Muhammad.

"Since we are friends, you are welcome. I have a lot of these things." Li Lan smiled slightly.

Seeing how Li Lan didn't care, Muhammad thought for a moment, glanced at the armed men guarding outside the door, approached Li Lan's side, and asked quietly, "Who are they?"

Li Lan saw Muhammad's caution, weighed it in her heart, and asked, "Why are you asking that?"

"If they are members of other armed forces, we can't say some things here, and I'm afraid of your safety. Some organizations often blackmail after protecting outsiders, so..."

"If you are talking about this, please rest assured, each of them speaks Chinese, because they are my soldiers, not hired." After weighing it, Li Lan still said Ahmed and so on. Human identity.

"Oh!" Muhammad was stunned, and then said embarrassedly: "It seems that I was too careful. Since they are all your subordinates, then I can rest assured. Do you know? My friend Today, I went to the market in Bosasso and sold all the bullets you brought, and many acquaintances asked me if I still have this brand new bullet. If so, I hope I can have more bullets next time. Bring a little."

"What do you mean?" Li Lan said.

"That’s how I think. The gift of four thousand bullets is too heavy. I want to go there again tomorrow, sell these bullets, and you will get the dollars you get at this time tomorrow. As for what you need, just ask. As long as I have it, I will try my best to satisfy you." Muhammad said.

"Since I gave it to you, it is yours. If you feel uncomfortable, then treat it as our deal today. I need food and car fuel. These four thousand rounds of bullets will be treated as our deal today. Four thousand bullets, I hope you will get more food and fuel. I don't need money for the time being." Li Lan thought for a while and said.

"Okay! Then I'll accept it." Muhammad didn't push it off, sometimes being too polite would make the relationship unfamiliar.

"You just said they need more bullets. Do they need weapons? The brand new ak-47 is absolutely reliable in quality." Li Lan thought for a while and asked.

"Of course it needs. As far as I know, an old AK-47 can be sold for three hundred dollars in the market. If it is brand new, the price will be higher." Muhammad said.

"What about the demand?"

"A lot, I know many armed forces, and there have been some pleasant deals before. I think they will be happy to buy them. And those arms dealers who like to invert arms will also be happy to buy brand new weapons at high prices." Replied affirmatively.

"Then we come back tomorrow, I will bring more arms. At the same time, I also hope that we are friends forever." Li Lan got up and stretched out his right hand to Muhammad.

"Friends forever." Muhammad also got up and said seriously, and his hands were tightly clasped together.

Today these bullets are just throwing stones to ask for directions. At present, if Li Lan wants to develop, he must integrate with the locals.At present, Muhammad is a very good target.Li Lan is also happy to have a good relationship with the other party.

At dusk, Li Lan walked on the way back, and there was a lot of food and fuel in the back of the truck.
