Red Alert Somalia

The capital of China.

In the office of the No. 1 chief.

Chinese Defense Minister Lin Wanquan is reporting the latest situation in Somalia to Chief One.

"Through satellite images and reports from the Gulf of Aden escort fleet, the month-long armed conflict ended yesterday. The three parties involved in the conflict have a conservative estimate of about 10,000 casualties. The world’s major media and domestic media have also made simple comments on this. The report.

The intelligence agencies of the United States, Russia, Britain, France, Italy, India, Japan and other countries have greatly increased their interest in Somalia.In the past month, many international intelligence organizations have been investigating Li Lan, the protagonist of the turmoil in Bosasso, Somalia.In this regard, our intelligence department did not stop this investigation."

"The intelligence department, have they come to any conclusions?" Chief One said.

Yang Wanquan naturally understands the specific meaning of this question, but before answering this question, he needs to determine one thing.

"Chief, there is one thing I need to confirm with you, whether this Li Lan was dispatched by the Central Committee secretly."

"No, why do you ask?" Chief One shook his head affirmatively.

"If it weren't for us to support, then things would become very intriguing." This may have been ruled out. It seems that things are simplified, but they are becoming more and more complicated. Yang Wanquan replied: "In the past month, our The intelligence department conducted a detailed investigation on the weapons held by the armed forces owned by Li Lan, but did not find any clues about him.

Over the past few days, we have conducted investigations on all large and small military enterprises that can produce AK-47 and RPG in the country, and also conducted all-round inspections on entry and exit ships. We can conclude that the weapons and equipment owned by the Chinese are not Not provided by our government or any domestic enterprise.

Moreover, whether it is Russia or Ukraine, Pakistan and other foreign regular military-industrial enterprises that can produce such weapons, we have also conducted investigations, and there is no such sign.Even the production lines that have been eliminated, we have not let go, and have not found any relationship with Li Lan.

The domestic intelligence department also conducted detailed investigations of Li Lan's relationship network from childhood to large. Anyone who has contacted or contacted him has conducted detailed investigations and long-term surveillance.So far, in this regard, we have not gained anything."

Chief One did not say anything immediately, but quietly thought about it. After a long time, he seemed to have made some determination and said: "What was the original intention of the intelligence department to investigate Li Lan?"

Yang Wanquan didn’t know why the No. 1 Chief was asking this, but he quickly replied: “Naturally, I want to see what purpose this person has, whether it is a chess piece controlled by another country or some international forces, and borrowing his identity. To achieve a certain purpose."

"That is to say, in the past two months, after various investigations by the intelligence department, this sign has not been found, and even the most basic clues have not been found?" Chief One continued to ask.

"Yes, but it cannot be ruled out that the other party hides too deeply." Yang Wanquan replied conservatively.

“If you look at things openly, it’s not complicated. First of all, the participation of countries in the world can be ruled out, because they don’t have to do this at all, and there is no reason to do so. Second, the world’s non-governmental organizations can also They were sent out because they did not have the ability to allow our intelligence department to conduct investigations for two consecutive months, and even no clues were found. The main factor is this Chinese named Li Lan, and all the questions are there. On him." Chief One continued.

"Then how to explain the source of his weapons, or how to explain his motives?" Yang Wanquan was still full of questions.

"As I said just now, all questions are on Li Lan alone. As long as he makes breakthroughs from him, everything is not a problem." As the No. 1 Chief of China, the direction of his considerations is from the overall situation. In the beginning, how to look at a matter should first be based on whether the root of the problem is good for your country. If there is no good, then he doesn't have to think about it at all. If there are good, then how to get these benefits is what he needs to care about.

This may seem small, but its future influence is not small. Once this Chinese has a foothold in Somalia and his political attitude is leaning towards China, the significance to China will not be small.

"Weapons and motives are only secondary. As long as he can help us build his own arsenal, what about it. The United States has been selecting agents in Somalia for more than ten years. We are here. There has been no action in Somalia. Since the turmoil in 1991, our previous efforts in the Somalia government have been in vain. Now the international situation, time does not wait for me. What is the reason for the large amount of money and industry to support Africa every year? The interests of the overall situation.

According to your information, Li Lan does not have any political chief, and judging from his style in Somalia, he is very hard-spirited and unwilling to give in. It is not like a controlled role.Therefore, we should not have too much suspicion on the issue of Li Lan. We should look at it with a rational perspective and handle this matter properly."

"Then I can only seek answers from this person. I will let the intelligence department begin to try to contact him." The words of Chief No.1 made Yang Wanquan very insightful, but such actions will inevitably lead to some problems. He asked. : "Once the contact is successful, other countries will definitely think that this person was specially arranged by us, which will cause a lot of follow-up effects."

"If this person can really be used by us, then how can we worry about the subsequent impact of this incident. The world today is no longer the world of the Cold War, and China is not the Soviet Union of the Cold War. It wants to break through the current In the dilemma, there are only internal and external harmony. Starting from the outside and coordinating with our own strength, any impact will only be drizzle by then. Now I very much hope that Li Lan can make the storm a little bit bigger, even if he takes over the entire Gulf of Aden , We can only benefit more than harm. It is the Americans who are the headache, not us."

The Chief No. 1 looked at this incident very directly and clearly. Although the incident came suddenly, Zhonghua had enough time to fight it.

Africa and the Arabian Peninsula have always been dominated by Western countries. It is very difficult for China to intervene. Since decades ago, China has been wooing African countries, but it has always had little effect.

Especially on both sides of the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden and even the Indian Ocean, China has always lacked a sense of presence in these areas.Since 30 to 40 years ago, China has been wooing Somalia, assisting hundreds of projects, large and small, at a huge cost.However, since the collapse of the Somali regime, these efforts by China have also flowed out.

So far, China has lost years of hard work.Nowadays, with the help of some humanitarian assistance and the Gulf of Aden escort, China's influence in North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula has been increased, but after all, it is an extremely long effort and the benefits obtained are not satisfactory.

Like the United States, turbulent Somalia is a treasured land. Today, the Somalia embassy in China and the oil industry that Sinopec is exploiting in the northeast corner of Somalia are all China’s renewed efforts.It’s just that the results have always been small. In turbulent Somalia, the United States must be timid, and China must also timid.

A country’s 15-year strategic plan is too long and has many variables.No one can guarantee that the 15-year strategic layout will be completely successful.

Now the sudden emergence of a Chinese in Somalia has changed the situation of the game among the big powers, allowing the No. 1 Chief to see some opportunities.Especially when Li Lan kept himself in conflict with local forces, this also allowed Chief One to see his value.

Being able to stand firm in Somalia already has the capital for China to win, especially Li Lan is still a Chinese, an innocent Chinese under many investigations.In this way, the value of wooing will become more prominent.

From the end of the 20th century to the 21st century, the wars waged by the United States have been closely related to oil. Even if it was fighting Yugoslavia, it also hijacked the price of oil in order to allow oil to be settled in US dollars.

In the past, China did not have the strength to compete with the United States for these.In the world, only East African oil has been in a state of semi-stagnation, and a large number of oil fields are not conducive to reasonable exploitation due to the turbulent situation.As a result, the oil fields along the coast of East Africa are like a virgin land.

And this virgin land will become a key area for the great powers in the future.

The appearance of Li Lan gave Chief No. 1 an important opportunity in the long game. As long as Li Lan can occupy a piece of land, the value will be fully reflected.
