—————— The following text——————

The next day, Li Lan got up early. Perhaps it was the base that brought him confidence. Perhaps he came here for a month and his temperament became more mature. He did not suffer from insomnia due to the sudden crisis last night.

However, Li Lan was not the first to get up. When he walked out of the gate of the base wall in a military uniform, Mohammedi’s pickup truck had been parked at the gate of the base wall. Mohammed in the car saw Li Lan come out. After that, get off immediately.

Yesterday afternoon, after the convoy set off, Mohammedi also followed the convoy back to the village, and made an appointment with Li Lan to come over this morning and officially start his work.

"My friend, it's too early for you! It's only six o'clock now." Seeing Muhammad, Li Lan couldn't help but be surprised.

"Early to bed and early to get up, I've long been used to it." Muhammad saw Li Lan in a military uniform and asked in confusion: "What are you going to do in military uniform?"

"Morning exercise! Wearing a military uniform makes it easy to move." Li Lan said.

In recent days, Li Lan went to bed early and got up early every day, watching the morning training of mobilized soldiers in the barracks every day, and couldn't help joining in.At the beginning, he had been lacking in exercise, and almost couldn't even keep running.Later, every morning when he was training with soldiers, he kept showing himself up, and kept thinking in his heart: If this kind of hardship can't persist, how can he achieve his goal.

After clenching his teeth again and again, he finally persisted until the end of the morning training, and now he will consciously get up and train with the soldiers every day.

"Oh, can I be together?" Muhammad asked.

"Of course." Li Lan nodded, and the two came to the entrance of the barracks, pointing to a row of houses behind the schoolyard and said: "The dormitory inside has a new military uniform. Go in and find a suitable one."

Then Li Lan joined the team that was gathering, ran with the mobilized soldiers, lined up together, and experienced some small programs like leapfrogging on the way.

When the sun is already hot, training ends in the morning.

Li Lan, already sweating profusely, came to the well at the entrance of the barracks out of breath. At this time, there was a lot of water in the well.Because the well has not been built yet, a few soldiers took a small bucket, tied a rope, and used the oldest method to fetch water.

Li Lan, Muhammad and many mobilized soldiers took a cold bath by the well to get rid of sweat and fatigue.Originally, Li Lan could go to the base to take a shower, because there was enough water for him to use. As for where the water in the base came from, he didn't understand. Anyway, the base is so awkward, and the water problem is too trivial.

He enjoys the feeling of being with the soldiers even more, talking and laughing, he doesn't need to wear a mask of hypocrisy, he doesn't need to conceal his character, full and happy.This is something he can't enjoy under the mask of domestic hypocrisy.

This kind of atmosphere also makes another person very useful, that is Muhammad, he hasn't laughed sincerely for a long time, or the kind of unscrupulous laugh, not for tomorrow whether his life will end and worry, nor for Somalia. Concerned about the fate of people, enjoying the joy brought by the mellow friendship of the mobilized soldiers.

Happy times always pass quickly.

After having some breakfast in the canteen of the barracks with the soldiers, Li Lan called Muhammad and entered the base.

The two sat on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor of the base. Li Lan told Muhammad about yesterday's tax affairs, first to see if the Secretary of Armed Forces, Awell, slapped him.

"This tax collection mechanism is the same as before. He didn't add it without authorization." Muhammad said.

"..." Li Lan said Ahmed's thoughts to Muhammad again.

Hearing Li Lan’s method, Muhammad was silent for a moment, and said: "This proposal can be implemented, but it will completely offend the government forces. Even if the government forces do not come to make trouble, they will secretly worry. Other forces came to make trouble.

And once such a declaration is made, all the people in our village must be moved.At that time, I am afraid that there will be an arsenal here. After all, in this era, under the temptation of money, everything can happen.

I am afraid that the difficulties we face will be even greater then."

"That is to say, if you don’t pay taxes, you must be ready to go to war. There is no other way?" Last night, according to Somalia’s tax policy, with the current situation that Li Lan has 200 soldiers, plus It covers an area of ​​48 square kilometers.Once the taxes are paid, Li Lan needs to pay three million US dollars in taxes a month.

According to the current price of Bosasso weapons, that is to say, one third of Li Lan's monthly base funds must be prepared for taxation.And further development, the price will be even more outrageous.

Not to mention that Li Lan had no intention of paying, let alone one-third of his monthly income as tax.

"Now there are two options, one is to pay taxes first, and then to buy time to grow ourselves, and when we are strong enough, we don't have to pay taxes at all. One is to completely offend the government forces, and then be prepared for war. If the government forces do not come to encircle and suppress, other forces will come. And there is a danger of further exposure." Muhammad thought for a while and continued:

"After you complete the transaction with the Minister of Arms, the existence of this place is no longer a secret to the various forces of Bosasso. Sooner or later, they will know what is in it. By then, not only the armed forces will swarm. Government troops will also send large troops.

Moreover, the international side will inevitably focus its attention, and then some real big forces will probably also extend their minions."

"For Somalia, where the industrial base is now zero, the existence here has an irresistible attraction." Li Lan understood the worries in Muhammad's words.

"Listen to me, my friend, oh no, it's the sir. No one can refuse the arsenal here. Because it means an unprecedented opportunity. No one can be indifferent here. Including me, I agree to your request. The facilities here also account for a large proportion.

At present, I feel that the commander's power is still too little. Although I don't understand all of it, it will definitely not exceed 300 soldiers.The first priority now is not how to deal with tax issues, but to strengthen oneself."Mohammedi began to lower his position. Although the two have a very good relationship, they have already decided to join Li Lan's command. Naturally, he has to put his own identity, which is very important.

"You are very honest!" Li Lan stood up, paced back and forth in the hall, and quickly fell into thought.

Muhammad's opinion is very pertinent, and he also pointed out two results to Li Lan, which are much more comprehensive than the results he thought about last night.Both have pros and cons. One is that you can buy more time, but the price is not small.

The other is to ask Muhammad to stand up and admit that this is his armed force, as Ahmed said before.

However, this will not only expose the buildings inside, but also still unavoidable conflicts with other forces.And once things in the base are exposed, trouble will continue to come in the future.

At that time, I am afraid that it will not only be local forces, some large forces in other parts of Somalia, and even other countries will also pay attention.In particular, the United States, which has always wanted to stabilize the waterway from the Strait of Malacca to the Indian Ocean, will probably pay great attention.

For the United States, it does not matter why Somalia is not peaceful. Of course, it is better if it can be chaotic all the time. It can save a lot of worry.But if the United States knows that there are Chinese people involved, things will be completely different.

Everyone knows that the main target of the US strategic eastward movement is China, and of course it also contains the Russian Pacific Fleet and the military presence in Eastern Siberia.As the main potential adversary in the eyes of the United States, China, if there is a Chinese presence in Somalia, or a force that already has the ability to produce weapons, this is absolutely unwilling to see the United States.

The result will inevitably be to increase support for other forces in Somalia, and to suppress Li Lan's living space intensively.On the other hand, Li Lan is basically impossible to get domestic support. Unless he can give enough benefits or let Chinese officials see that he has enough strategic value, it is absolutely impossible.

"I choose the second road. As for the problems that may arise on this road, I can avoid it and try my best to avoid it." Li Lan finally chose the second road. As long as no people enter the base, there is no surrounding overlooking the base. At the commanding heights, the wall can completely block the sight of people outside.He believes that the contents of the base will not be exposed, at least not currently.

"However, don't rush back to inform the villagers. I will send engineers to a residential area on the west side of the large wall of the base. After the basic construction is completed, you will let them move in."
