Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 18 The Executioner

After Muhammad finished all the formalities, Li Lan walked into the hotel with General Ahmed. The other soldiers were on guard around the hotel.

However, they did not arrive at the room immediately, but accepted the invitation of the hotel owner and came to a very spacious living room.

In the hallway to the living room, two white men in suits came to face each other, but apart from a glance at each other, there was no conversation.

After entering the living room, Li Lan was stunned. When he came to Bosasso, he had too many new impressions, and the decoration inside, full of European-style furniture and decoration style, made him feel very good. .

Luxury, this is the first feeling, extravagance, this is the second feeling.Although Li Lan was just an ordinary office worker before owning the base, it does not mean that he was an inexperienced person. As can be seen from his fluent English, he is not willing to be mediocre.

"The fine wood combines traditional craftsmanship with contemporary advanced technology. Its most notable feature is the clever use of the golden section. The owner here is a person who knows how to enjoy. Looking at the layout, he is also a fine person. ." Li Lan quickly came to his own conclusion for the owner of this hotel.

"I'm a rough person, I don't understand this, but this boss is also a patriot." Although Mohammed didn't know much about the owner of this hotel, he only had to know that the other person was also a patriotic person. .

"Oh, did you know him before?" Li Lan asked.

"There has been a deal! The weapons you sold on behalf of me in the past are actually sold to him, not a friend. This time he knows that you are coming and specifically confessed to me that he wants to see you." Mohammed Nod.

"This way, but this host seems to be impolite, and our guests are here, but he is nowhere to be seen. This seems to be inconsistent with the hospitality of your Somalis!" Li Lan did not find a place to sit down. While talking, pace slowly to visit the furniture inside.

"I'm very sorry, friends from the East, please accept my apology." As soon as Li Lan's voice fell, a hearty voice came from behind him.The accurate English pronunciation makes Li Lan sound effortless at all.

After turning around to see someone coming, Li Lan looked like he wouldn't judge. The first thing Li Lan gave Li Lan was that this person is very straightforward, not the kind of person who can make mistakes.

"Are you the owner of this hotel?" Li Lan asked without hitting the smiling face.

"Friends, please sit down and have tea! Take out my treasured tea leaves." The visitor did not immediately answer Li Lan’s question, but politely gestured to the luxurious sofa on the side, asking Li Lan and others to sit down. Then he shouted to the door.

Li Lan and Mohammedi sat down generously, Ahmed was standing behind Li Lan, and the general who had been following Li Lan cleverly squatted beside Li Lan.

The visitor saw that Ahmed did not sit down and did not say anything. Instead, he introduced himself: "My name is Farah Adilai. You can call me Farah, a native of Bosasso. I don't know who is here. How do you call the guests from the East?"

"Hello Mr. Farah, my name is Li Lan. As you know, I have come to far away China." Li Lan didn't lose courtesy, and the other party didn't seem malicious, so he would naturally treat it with kindness.

"Mr. Li, can I call you that way?" Farah said.

"Mr. Farah, the person's name was originally called, whether it is Mr. Li or Li Lan directly. I won't mind." Li Lan said.

"It's not wrong to be polite, so at least you won't make unnecessary misunderstandings." Farah said.

"Haha! Whatever you please." Li Lan nodded.

"I'm very curious, from which force Mr. Li's guards were hired, serious and confident, not easy!" Looking at Ahmed standing behind Li Lan like a javelin, Farah asked emotionally .

From the few words of Farah, Li Lan understood that Muhammad did not tell this person about his situation. This person did not understand his situation, and was probably limited to only knowing that he was a person.

"They are all my guards and do not belong to any forces." Li Lan did not intend to conceal it, and guarding a lie that will be exposed at any time, it is better to say it openly.

Farah was taken aback for a moment, but he soon reflected, saying: "Mr. Li is really young and promising."

"Mr. Farah is also not simple. Although you and I don't know each other, you have come into contact with Somalis in Somalia and speak English best." Li Lan replied.

At this time, a hotel attendant came in with tea and boiling water, and after leaving, he closed the door.

"I have lived in the UK since I was a child, so it is not surprising that I can speak English accurately. Compared to Mr. Li's achievements, my simplicity is not worth mentioning." Farah said as he sorted out the tea set.

"Have you still been to Zhonghua?" In this scene, Li Lan really has too many problems, because the way he makes tea is exactly the way of making tea in China. Even the tea sets are printed with simplified Chinese characters.

"I've been there for a few days." Farah concentrated on making tea, and said with emotion: "China is a beautiful place. Whether it is natural scenery or urban style, I have the urge to settle there permanently."

"Then why didn't you settle down?" Muhammadi, who hadn't intervened since just now, couldn't help but speak out after hearing Farah's words.

"The Quran says: You should seek knowledge, even if you go to far away China." Farah first quoted a quote from the Quran, and then continued: "Getting knowledge is not only to benefit yourself, but also to benefit the people around you. People. Therefore, I sold all the fixed assets of other countries, returned to Bosasso, where I was born, and changed this place with my faith and strength."

"You are a great Muslim, please forgive me for the previous question." Muhammad nodded in sympathy and apologized to Farah.

"You don't have to apologize, in fact, I can feel that you are also a real Somali, otherwise I won't let you sit with me." Farah's attitude towards Muhammad is good, and there is no sign of discomfort. .

"Now, please taste the tea I brought back from faraway China. Maybe Mr. Li is used to drinking this kind of tea, but this is a rare thing in Somalia."

"Thank you!" Li Lan did not refuse.

"We are eager to change here, but with our strength alone, it is insignificant and insignificant for Somalia, where the situation is so eroded." After allowing a sip of tea, Farah thought thoughtfully: "At the same time, we also want to have external power. To change this, we need the recognition of the international community, and someone needs to pass on the situation here."

Li Lan didn't speak. The other party invited herself, obviously for a targeted purpose.Although he didn't feel malicious right now, he wouldn't take the initiative to express anything before the other party had stated his purpose.

"Oh!" Farah sighed and slowly introduced: "We in Somalia, what we need most is not weapons. It is not that bringing countless weapons can change Somalia. On the contrary, the flood of guns in Somalia is even more detrimental to Somalia. Peaceful development. Even if weapons are more for self-defense, they are a minority after all. Since their birth, weapons have been used to kill.

We need real support even more.Medical drugs, science and technology, food.Diseases are afflicting us Somalis. On average, for every four children, only 2-3 can grow up smoothly, and at least one of them died of disease."

"As far as I know, many international organizations assist Somalia with a lot of medical drugs and food every year." Li Lan thought for a while and said.

"Yes, there is nothing wrong with this, and we also want to thank these organizations. Without these organizations helping us, I am afraid that Somalia’s current population can be two-thirds of the current population. It will be taken by every year of drought. Many of our lives.

There is a very cold question, what is the most in Somalia?I will answer, it is not a gun, and naturally it is not a pirate, but a refugee.Maybe you don't see many refugee camps in Bosasso, but outside of Bosasso, other cities are full of refugee camps.In Somalia, half of the population is in need of assistance.In other words, there are five million Somalis in our place who are always facing the threat of hunger.

If disease is a butcher knife, then hunger is the real executioner."
