————The following text————

The stars are brilliant and the wind is gentle.With the sky as the curtain and the ground as the seat, Li Lan just sat on the top floor of the main base, enjoying the refreshing summer night, listening to the sound of insects, and looking at the star-filled night sky.

The sky is not pure black, but there is an endless deep blue in the black, which stretches out to the distance.After a few hours, he wanted to penetrate this shady countless times, and wanted to probe what was at the end of the sky.

The sky was so vast that he couldn't help but feel deeply ashamed of his own insignificance.The universe is endless, and he couldn't help but sigh the shortness of life."Bai Ju crossed the gap", Li Lan seemed to understand the helpless feeling of the ancients.

Looking at the starry sky again, the night sky is still deep, the stars are still bright, and the insects are still sound.

Staring at the sky full of big and small, flickering stars, the stars dot the night sky, and sprinkle their luster on the earth, whether they are famous stars or unknown stars.

Yes, the universe is infinite and life is limited, but what's the regret? Human history has developed so far, who can violate this objective law? However, why many people are like immortal stars in the sky, and their spirit and great achievements have been passed down to this day, even Will it be passed on forever?

The bird song and insect song one after another seemed to congratulate him on his thoughtfulness.

This afternoon, Li Lan had been working out the future development plan at the console. With the help of his assistant, a decent plan was finally released.

As the saying goes, five-year plans, ten-year plans, and fifteen-year strategies, no matter whether it is a plan or a plan or even a strategic layout in the future, it will not work without a detailed plan.Even though Li Lan is still in the early stages of development, such a plan is very much needed.

After an afternoon, Li Lan finally built the basic framework of the plan. With the development of time in the future, he still needs to fill in this framework and make the framework substantial.

Just as Li Lan was concentrating on admiring the night sky in Somalia, a row of car lights appeared on the far road.The sound of the car's motor can also be heard clearly in the ear, covering up the original ecological music a moment ago.

Calculating the time, Ahmed and others are almost there.The automatic sentry guns on the outer fence did not issue a warning, so Li Lan was not worried that other forces passed by here.

The tranquility has been broken, and Li Lan no longer stays on the roof.

When Li Lan walked out of the base wall, the convoy had already entered the outer wall gate of the base. When Li Lan walked to the barracks, the convoy had already stopped in the barracks.

"Report sir, the transaction was successfully completed, and the goods were safely delivered to the base." Seeing Li Lan's figure, Ahmed ran forward quickly.

"Well, what is the process of this transaction and whether the quantity of goods is sufficient." Li Lan said.

"The transaction is fairly smooth, and the quantity of things is enough, but we still need to go to Bosasola these days." Ahmed said.

"It's going to go well. There is too much cement, and I can't pull it back at once. I divide it into several times." Li Lan nodded.

"However, the Secretary of Armed Forces, Bosasso, saw that the chief did not go, he seemed a little unhappy. During the transaction, his subordinates talked to us and did not accept our words. However, before we gave the list of gifts When he was, he became very enthusiastic again." Ahmed said.

Hearing Ahmed's words, Li Lan burst out laughing.He can fully understand the thoughts of the Secretary of Armed Forces. After all, in his eyes, only Li Lan, who is the leader, is qualified to talk to him. The 200,000 US dollar transaction is not too small. Seeing that Li Lan has not come, Ai No one of Hamed and others had enough identity to talk to him, so naturally they would be unhappy.In general, the Secretary of Arms felt that he was ignored or underestimated.

But after seeing the list of gifts that Li Lan gave him, it is not surprising that his mind changed.

In just two days, Li Lan gave her more than 100,000 U.S. dollars in arms. It is strange that he can be upset.You know, these things can be regarded as his personal belongings. Whether it is to develop his own dead guard or resell it, it is a big income, or the kind of income that does not need to be shared with others, happiness is inevitable. .

"Did the minister say anything?" Li Lan said.

Hearing Li Lan’s question, Ahmed flashed a hint of anger on his face, saying: "If the commander hadn’t ordered, I really wanted to break his head with a shot. He knew it was the conflict between us and Lava, and Knowing that we are all your personal arms, after the transaction was completed, he actually said shamelessly that he wanted us to pay taxes and a little security fee for the dispatch of troops. The chief gave him a lot of things for two consecutive days, and he dared to speak. A complete bastard who sees money open."

"This kind of people is not enough, tell me what he said." To be honest, Li Lan was really a little angry, but he could not be satisfied with the nearly 100,000 US dollars of arms.

"He said so, because after the conflict between us and Lava, in order to stabilize the stability of Bosasso, he had to send thousands of troops to maintain law and order, resulting in dozens of soldiers were killed and hundreds of people were injured. , Because the trouble was caused by us, and he was dealing with the trouble for us, so he wanted to ask us for the military expenses and the resettlement expenses of the dead soldiers and the medical expenses of the wounded soldiers.

As for taxes, he said that it is the rule here. Every foreigner who develops his own armed forces in Somalia must pay taxes to the government when they formally establish their own territory and armed forces.Calculated in terms of headcount, one hundred soldiers need to pay 100,000 U.S. dollars in taxes every month.If it occupies more than one square kilometer, the tax will be doubled, and then for every additional square kilometer, 50% of the basic tax will be paid."

"How much tax does he want us to pay? When will it be paid?" Li Lan thought for a while and said.

"This bastard did not say, but said that starting from today, he will send someone to investigate in a month, and then determine the amount of tax based on the actual situation. I also said that I was an idiot, this is due to the generosity of the chief. Come, give us loose time." Ahmed said angrily.

"Big hand, good abacus." Li Lan shook his head. According to the method of collecting tax, this seemingly experienced armed minister just wanted to maximize the amount of tax.He has reason to believe that during this period of time, I am afraid that some people have started to pay attention here.Perhaps, when Ahmed and others returned, the Minister of Arms had already followed him far behind.

One month's time, it was the other party who was using the time to develop himself well, and then he slaughtered him severely.If he shrinks his territory or demobilizes soldiers, I am afraid that the Minister of Arms will come here immediately and collect taxes.

Another point is that based on the amount of food and fuel that you need, I'm afraid the other party has already estimated the general number of people.

Seriously, Li Lan really didn't want to have a conflict with the government army before solving the food, because it was an extremely unwise choice.In addition, Li Lan still lacks enough offensive forces, and the defense is OK, but he can only protect his one-acre three-point land, and cannot counterattack at all.

Once the opponent surrounds the base, the food will be exhausted, and I am afraid that more will be lost.

But Li Lan wasn't a master who had to obey. He had a bad temper and couldn't stand such blackmail.

If he now has a thousand soldiers, plus a certain amount of food reserves, he would dare to fight against each other, but now he still has small arms and legs and lacks the capital to fight against.

You know, the government troops in Bosasso are tens of thousands, and there are many heavy weapons.Although these heavy weapons are old guys, they are not what Li Lan can shake now.

But can Li Lan agree?
