Red Alert Somalia

Half a month passed quietly.

During this half of the time, Li Lan successfully passed Muhammad and sold a hundred AK-47 automatic rifles and 50,000 rounds of ammunition.Although these costs 6250 base funds, Li Lan also brought a lot of food and fuel, two necessary consumables.

In the past two months, a mining vehicle in the ore refinery has brought a total of 75,000 base funds to Li Lan.

In these days, he has built five more magnetic energy reactors and an ore refinery.However, it is very sad that even with the ore refinery, the recovery time of the mining truck has not been reduced much, only ten minutes.After learning this number, Li Lan jumped with anger.

Fortunately, within half a month, Li Lan built two mining vehicles in one go.The first one was four days later. In these 11 days, Li Lan brought 55,000 funds.The second one was six days later, and now it has brought Li Lan 45,000 funds.

Then on the seventh day, he built another ore extraction well on top of the iron ore, because one ore extraction well can only accommodate three mining vehicles.In the three days from the eighth to the tenth day, three more mining vehicles were running around him.The three new mining vehicles alone brought 80,000 funds to the base.

Less than a month after arriving in Somalia, Li Lan basically completed the infrastructure construction of the base.Two ore extraction wells, two ore refining plants, and six mining vehicles have formed considerable capital recovery capabilities.Although Li Lan has spent 127,000 base funds for this, except for his original mining trucks, ore refining plants, and ore extraction wells, he has also received 30,000 base funds per day.In comparison, the effort is nothing.

In half a month, except for the 3,000 funds spent on the production of weapons and five magnetic energy reactors, the remaining 40,400 funds seem to be a lot, but there is not much left.

The base currently has seven magnetic energy reactors, three military camps, two tank factories, two guard guns, and two machine gun bunkers.For this reason, Li Lan's funds are only 14,400 left.Subsequently, a series of enclosure activities were carried out, first the magnetic energy reactor was built far away, and then the enclosure was enclosed.

With a large amount of base funds invested, defense units are constantly building every day.With the base as the center point, a full three-kilometer extension, even the ore extraction well is within the fence.The base today is already surrounded by a huge wall measuring eight kilometers long and six kilometers wide.

Excluding those remaining gaps, the total length of the walls has reached 28 kilometers, covering an area of ​​48 square kilometers. These walls cost the base 42,000 funds.And if you count the walls that Li Lan has built for each construction unit, just for the wall, in the past two weeks, a total of 72,000 base funds have been used.

It covers an area. Although it is protected by a wall, it also needs enough armed forces. Li Lan is not stingy with the remaining 72,000 base funds.Of course, he will boldly use this when 30,000 base funds are received every day.

Ninety soldiers, 30 army dogs, 90 sets of equipment, ten engineers, and ten trucks. Although these things are not a lot of money, they add up to a lot, and they consume 31,750 base funds.

In order to strengthen the training of the soldiers, Li Lan also produced a large number of bullets for them to use.These days, one hundred soldiers consumed more bullets than Li Lan sold these days.In half a month, 60,000 bullets worth 1,500 funds were used up, and the average person consumed only 40 bullets per day.

There was still 38,750 funds. Last night and this morning, Li Lan fired two more sentry cannons and placed them on both sides of the gate that Li Lan marked as the outer wall.Now only 28,750 base funds can be used.

Money comes quickly, and so does it go.After this busy half month, the base has changed drastically.The forty-eight square kilometers occupied by the base is enough to meet Li Lan's long-term development needs.

In the next period of time, Li Lan will focus on the defense and construction of the base.According to his plan, the surrounding walls of the main base must be reinforced, and at least one wall must be used. Only by combining the defensive power of the two walls, can safety be guaranteed.

Moreover, at the exit of the outer wall, there must be strong firepower to counterattack.Although the sentry gun is a bit more expensive, the three-kilometer alert range and the dual-mounted 30-mm cannon are already worth the price.With a large number of military dogs running guards and soldiers patrolling, the base can be considered as the most basic security guarantee.

However, Li Lan now needs engineers and more cement.Because inside the base, there is still primitive mud ground. Although the geology is hard, the dust is annoying.

Cement is not a rare thing in Somalia, but obtaining large amounts of cement is not a simple matter.However, money can make ghosts grind, and this principle is basically suitable for all human societies.

Although none of the weapons sold by Li Lan has been directly exchanged for money during this period, weapons, like US dollars, are also the main circulating items in Somalia.

However, there is one point. The cement in Somalia is in the hands of the local government. Because Li Lan was smuggled here, he could not purchase cement from the local government in his own capacity without a certificate from the Somali Embassy in China.

And Muhammad did not have a good channel to obtain a large amount of cement in this respect. An obvious problem lay in front of Li Lan. He must go to Bosasso.This trip is only a matter of time, cement is only a fuse, there will be many other needs in the future, he needs to go to Bosasso.

Since yesterday, he has been preparing for this trip. In addition to trucks, there are two icons that can be built on the base's car page, one is an armed off-road vehicle and the other is an armed off-road quad bike.

After Li Lan was ready to start work today, he produced four armed off-road vehicles yesterday and they were all finished.

At noon, four armed off-road vehicles and four military trucks moved out of the base and headed east towards Bosasso.During this trip, the soldiers who protected Li Lan were led by Ahmed. Of course, not only these soldiers, but also the soldiers who stayed at the base, were also led by Ahmed.

When he passed the village of Mohammedi, Mohammedi was already waiting by the roadside. After Mohammedi got on the armed off-road vehicle where Li Lan was located, the convoy continued to advance towards Bosasso, more than two hundred kilometers away.

"My friend, you are really punctual." As soon as I got on the bus, Mohammedi took the lead to greet Li Lan. The habits of the Somali were fully revealed: "Every time I see you, I am very happy. I have had a good time these two days. ?"

"I'm also very happy to see you." These days, Li Lan is also very familiar with Muhammad's greetings when they meet. He has been thankful for many times that he does not have a camel. Otherwise, when greeting him, he will definitely ask about the camel.However, Li Lan also likes this kind of greeting, which makes people feel particularly cordial and friendly.

"But, my friend, are you going to fight?" After the greeting, Muhammad asked puzzledly: "The armed forces you brought are very powerful. There are four armed vehicles and four large trucks. ."

"They are just here to protect me, and they don't mean to actively fight with other armed forces." Li Lan explained.He was very insecure on this trip. This time he brought out sixty soldiers, and there were some heavy weapons on the truck.

"In this case, listen to me, don't let the big truck behind enter the city, just our four armed vehicles enter the city. Otherwise others will think you are provoking." Muhammad said here and saw Li Lan After there was no displeasure on his face, he continued: "Come into the city with me, the armed men inside will not do anything to you, at least they will not point their guns at you."

"Well, I believe you, I will let them wait outside the city when that happens." Li Lan nodded, and did not reject Muhammad's suggestion.

"Also, my friend, you also know that we Somalis have a lot of taboos, I hope you can remember them." Muhammad also knows that Li Lan doesn't know much about Somalia, in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble after entering the city. He is obliged to remind his good friends of the trouble.

"Here, we are not allowed to enter the mosque without permission. Men are not allowed to reach out to shake hands with ladies. They are not allowed to ask women's age in person. They are not allowed to inquire about other people's wages. They are not curious to ask others whether they have a marriage or not. The words of the Somali country or ethnic group do not eat pork, horse meat, donkey meat, mule meat, etc., or drink alcohol in Muslim areas. The most important points are that you cannot take photos at will without the consent of others, especially women. , This is a big taboo. Also, you can't talk about pirates. It's best not to mention these two words.

Somalia is very friendly to the Chinese as long as it is not taboo."

"Why can't you ask the pirates?" Li Lan just nodded to these taboos, saying that he knew, but Li Lan was curious about pirates.

"Listen to me, I really can't talk about pirates, because the other party will turn their faces at any time. As for the reason, if you have time, I will take you to learn more about it." Seeing that Li Lan seemed to be very interested in pirates, Muhamu Di said seriously again.

"Okay! I remembered, so what can I say?" Seeing that Muhammad didn't want to confuse himself, Li Lan didn't continue, but changed the topic.

"If it's an unfamiliar person, there is no need to say anything, just normal greetings." Muhammad said.

Later, Li Lan listened to some basic information about Bosasso and tried his best to prepare for this trip.
